INNOVATION CLUSTERS DEVELOPMENT: CASE OF ARCTIC PROJECTS IN SHIPBUILDING INDUSTRY

The authors of the article make an attempt to research the development of innovation clusters in shipbuilding industry. This subject of the research is very relevant for the Russian Federation in conditions of increased interest in the exploration of the Arctic. Based on the analysis of the current condition of the shipbuilding clusters development, the authors come to conclusion that for realization of the most large-scale projects, taking part in governmental programs, including an intersectoral cluster, more innovative technologies are necessary than those created inside it. So this puts emphasis on the technical mental component of the core, but it happens at the higher level because entering a new field of knowledge and new competence takes place. The core of any cluster is educational institutions and engineering companies. The authors created the model of the dynamic mental core of innovation clusters. Any cluster functioning includes a number of factors: technology, skills, competences, and knowledge. (c) 2018 Published by Future Academy www.FutureAcademy.org.UK
