The way of region”™s internal industrial reserves identification

The article deals with the methodology of the designing of region”™s industrial profile. It may provide a balanced and sustainable socio-economic growth of the territory.  We analyzed region”™s economic activities, conditions of each of the region. The temporal aspect affects the six years from 2007 to 2012, separately considering the crisis period, determining the extent of its impact on the indicators of economic development. At the first stage of the study carried out a structural analysis of EA”™s markets, each evaluates in order to assess the degree of region”™s influence on the market as a whole. In order to determine the level of competition on the EA”™s market concentration ratio was calculated Herfindahl-Hirschman Index. In order to determine the degree of specialization of the region in a particular EA there were used the coefficient of localization of industrial production that is used in practice for economic justification of production allocation. Assessment of business environment and the attractiveness of the region for employees, realized through dynamic analysis of the internal socio-economic indicators. We hold a cluster analysis of regions on the markets of analyzed economic activities with the purpose is to define the "ideal" clusters for each of the EA and to select those regions whose parameters satisfy the conditions of measured cluster. As a result, for each EA prepared a list of regions whose values had occasion to enter the cluster boundaries. Thus, for these regions analyzed EA is a prioritized for inclusion it in the region”™s industrial portfolio, having favorable conditions for the operation facilities and provides the best current position for leading regions. The presented methodology helps to outline the features of the regional strategic development and to design the portfolio of types of economic activities, ensures the implementation of region”™s strategic priorities. The main methods of the study are following; structural analysis of the regional economy, strategic planning and cluster analysis methods and binary logic

On the issue of methodology of estimating the regional competitive advantages by types of activity

Objective to develop the research methodology of the competitive position of territories by types of economic activities to define the relevant types of economic activities and to diagnose their competitive advantages. Methods a differentiated approach to the analysis of competitiveness based on matrix models of competitive positioning which allows to identify the relevant types of economic activities of the territory. This approach determined the choice of specific research methods dialectics abstraction systematic logical structural comparative and statistical. The application of the above methods helped to ensure the validity of the analysis results theoretical and practical conclusions. Results in the study were used the experience and knowledge gained during an earlier undertaken series of projects relating to the assessment of economy efficiency of Tatarstan Republic in 20052011.Previous reports dealt with the change of the selected industries positions of the Republic the structure and dynamics of the competitive position of these industries compared to the leading Russian regions. A distinctive feature of the research results presented in this article is a comparative analysis of competitive advantages of economic activities of Tatarstan Republic based on the matrix model of competitive positioning. Scientific novelty for the first time the matrix model of diagnostics of competitive advantages of the territory by the type of economic activity was proposed which allows to identify the priority industrial portfolio and provide targeted management actions to enhance its investment attractiveness. Practical value the main provisions and conclusions of the article can be used by legislative and executive authorities of the Russian Federation business community research institutions and organizations to develop strategies and programs of socioeconomic development and territorial planning schemes priority directions of industrial and investment policy modernization and innovative growth scenarios. nbs
