Социокультурная среда как основа проектирования экономически устойчивых индустриальных кластеров
Within the present investigation we consider social and cultural milieu influence on industrial cluster. First, we considered the field of cluster theory with the use of author’s approach to theoretical analysis. Basing on the analysis mentioned, we described three approaches to industrial clustering which illustrate the factor of social and cultural milieu. Conceptual analysis showed that each identified approach has its own view on the nature of mentioned milieu. However, in the context of social and cultural milieu functions, all the approaches are on the same page. The further step of our investigation showed potential disability of three approaches identified to describe the mechanism of social and cultural milieu influence on industrial cluster because of a number conceptual problems. Within this scope we created our own approach based on integration of system and agglomeration approaches around the concept of territorial identity. The present strategy allowed us to describe the essence of social and cultural milieu on industrial cluster and then to create a mechanism of the influence mentioned. This mechanism laid the foundation for a new methodology of industrial cluster projecting, which takes in account social and cultural milieu factor, making the cluster economically more sustainable.
