Evaluation Of The Synergistic Effect Of The Cluster

One of the organization mechanisms to manage both separate economic entities, as well as the economy in general is the so-called cluster approach. Clusters present in Russia now one of priorities of industrial policy both on the national as on the regional levels as well. Presenting an instrument to consolidate advantages of economic entities, the cluster approach presumes the creation of a certain synergetic effects. According to clusters, decision-makers face a number of problems, including evaluating the synergistic effect. Quantity assessment of synergy arising as a result of operation of the clusters is the main objective of this work. The article describes the features and some problems in clusters functioning in modern Russia. It is assessed the role of synergies, as one of the most important results of cluster operation. The authors describe an algorithm of synergy quantity assessments based on comparison of the resulting performance of the cluster and the results of the company groups if they have been left outside the cluster. The parameters of the results are given from the decision-makers, it may be as absolute and relative. Using the proposed algorithm in the paper will assess the effectiveness of cluster formations.
