ECONOMIC GLOBALIZATION THROUGH THE PRISM CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT
Globalization has quite
a powerful impetus to the deep changes in the global economy. Due to the dynamic growth areas high-tech world is
more interdependent than ever.
This applies not only growing
interdependence in economic relations
- trade, investment, finance and
production organization on a global scale - but also social and political
relations between organizations and individuals throughout the world.
In the modern state the
main purpose of government policy
in relation to economic development is deployment of resources of the country in accordance with the high and increasing
performance levels. There is a need for constant improvement of the
mechanisms of the economy. This
implies the continuous improvement and innovation in existing industries and ability to compete in the new.
One
manifestation of the rising level of the economy is study of the issues on the
development strategy of cluster development in the country. This raises the
feasibility of considering one of the priorities of economic policy, aimed at
improving the competitiveness of the state, companies, products, - the creation
of industrial clusters. Actually efficient cluster development model
housekeeper can stably generate new items of technology, now-how, discoveries,
and adapt to other countries in the developed new processes, technology goods.
To date, it is advisable to distinguish three
"center" (the region) cluster development, namely:
1. North
American region.
2. The Western
European region.
3. Asian region.
Such a regional typology of cluster systems in the world
due to factors such as:
ü
Separate development over a long period;
ü
Quite a well-established tradition in the specific
economic development
on the basis of cluster development;
ü
Differences in the availability of these or other strategically important
natural resources;
ü
Distinguish the structure of industry;
ü
Different capacity of national (regional) markets;
ü
The role of the political factor in the functioning of
the state
and others.
This article will
focus on studying the experience of the
Asian region.
In the Asian region
has developed its
own special
type of cluster
development in the economy. It contains features and background, bringing together the European region,
but at the same time there is a purely Asian specific features. Historically, many countries in the region are of the type of a
prolonged stagnation of the political and economic development, isolation from world markets, a large force of eastern traditions feudal state entities. Among the similarities with the Western Asian region include Active state
principle for the
development of cluster
initiatives.
Public authorities in the
countries of the Asian region
consider their duty to actively and purposefully interfere with processes in their economies,
trying to protect them from dangerous competition
from foreign producers and help
expansion into foreign markets. This emphasis can be considered a specific national economic policies of the Asian region, countries
which have been
particularly active in fighting for
already engaged in "niche" in the world markets through active development sufficiently competitive clusters.
Particularly
striking example of the effective implementation of cluster solutions is the
experience of the island of Hokkaido in Japan, where in the first half of the
1990s was a Central Organization for sustainable development and promoting the
development of industrial clusters. In the process of development is determined
by the area of increased business activity, discussions, a draft,
formed a working group created by the Supervisory Board, prepared plan for the
project.
Cluster
development in many ways typical of the industrialized countries, is beginning
to appear in developing countries such as India, which is actively involved in
the global competition for its innovation, as a supplier of products for
export. Center for scientific and technological progress in India is Bangalore.
Its small and medium-sized enterprises are actively working with local research
centers and institutes. There has been closely intertwined relationships
between high-tech sectors of engineering, electronics, telecommunications, defense,
engineering, and institutions. Please note the presence of a highly
professional workforce and generating innovative technological ideas. The
decisive factor in the transformation of Bangalore center intensive
technologies is the decision of the central government on the allocation of
public investment companies and institutions engaged in the development
program, and the participation of the government in this process for the past
30 years. Researchers and engineers in Bangalore managed to organize a
sustainable process of technological innovation in many sectors of the local
industry. Large public sector enterprises acted as accelerators of progress,
provides training, idea generation and implementation know-how. India has
achieved much success in the development of information technology and Internet
systems. This was preceded, on the one hand, the elimination of burdensome
state licensing regime, and on the other - the creation of research centers in
the preparation of such specialists, who are now working on the orders of U.S.
firms, providing investment in information technology industry.
At
the legislative level, prioritize exports of software, its development and
training.
Identified
factors that impede the development of this industry and the creation of
enterprises, establishment of several approaches to the development of the
industry, such as:
-
Simplification and optimization of the clearance procedures;
-
The creation of services on a "single window" in state institutions;
-
Provision of basic amenities to the Information through joint infrastructure
capacity.
In
1998, a national special commission to study the prospects of information
technology and software development, which should ensure the development of
recommendations to address the barriers to rapid development, and support the
industry. Was established as an organization "Technology Parks of India
software" for the implementation of industrial parks and export promotion
through the provision of necessary infrastructure services, including
communications (the system of high-speed data exchange.)
Therefore,
the above experience has shown that the modern high technologies can only be
based on the processes of integration: horizontal, regional and vertical.
Progress is the now disparate enterprises and their associations, groups,
clusters and networks. This experience is especially actual for Kazakhstan that
converting into the technologically developed country in a world economy is an
objective and insistent necessity. Creating competitive clusters requires a
sufficiently long time.
