Abstract

The article deals with the notion “economic cluster” and views the necessity for creation of clusters in construction industry. The author offers a hypothesis that cluster enables effective information exchange between its members, formation of integrated legal and financial environment, and development and promotion of single commercial strategy. As a result of the research, the author distinguished peculiarities, goals, and principles of formation of construction clusters which operate in the subjects of the RF. Special attention is paid to expediency of application of economic and mathematical methods during formation of a construction cluster. As a result of the research, the author shows that formation of a construction cluster is a possibility to increase the level of manageability of construction complex and effectiveness of interaction of economic subjects with the perspective of transition to innovational path of development, and strengthening of financial and economic situation in the region on the basis of application of economic and mathematical methods.
