Abstract

The development of territorial economic clusters is one of the important conditions for the growth of the competitiveness of economy, for the intensification of public-private partnership instruments and, ultimately, is a significant aspect of ensuring the sustainable development of territories [1,2,3,4]. It should be noted that the sustainability of such development is determined, first of all, by the establishment of close integration links both in terms of resources and products generated by the cluster participants. This leads to their joint interest in the overall end result of the cluster, cross-interest in the efficiency of the participants, insurance of the risks of each of them, and a number of other useful economic and social effects [5,6,7]. At the moment, the cluster approach to the intensification of development has taken a prominent place in the relevant concepts and strategies of a number of Russian regions and their municipalities. Today, it can be argued that a set of mechanisms has been formed at the state and regional levels, allowing, for example, to provide flexible financing for measures for the development of clusters [8,9]. Nevertheless, the situation is paradoxical when, in the presence of tools, the conceptual and methodological-instrumental part of the solution to the problem of assessing the effectiveness of cluster activities has not yet been sufficiently reflected and developed. This article examines this problem and identifies approaches to overcoming it.
