DEVELOPING A COLLABORATIVE MODEL SPECIFIC TO THE FIELD OF DEFENCE BASED ON THE LIFE CYCLE OF A CLUSTER

Clusters represent one of the defining elements of the Europe 2020 Strategy of the EU in terms of sustainable regional development due to the organizational structure, to the sphere of representativity and, not least, due to the economic policies adopted in this respect at the European level. The present paper presents the manner in which one can design a cluster-type collaborative model, specific for defence, using methods specific to modeling. The basis for the achievement of this conceptual model is the model of the cluster life cycle, a model analog to the life cycle of the product.
