Among the key objectives of the development of the agricultural business in Russia must be highlighted: the reduction of unemployment in rural areas; improving the lives of the general population, and potential businessmen; ensuring the sustainability of the natural and ecological environment in rural areas [1].

A method of building a portfolio of strategic alternatives for the development of a variety of organizational and managerial forms of rural entrepreneurship in the Russian regions, includes the following steps [11]:

1)an analysis of the competitive advantages of rural areas serving the main business activities, alternative opportunities territory;

2) an alternative addressing threats of the external environment;

3) an alternative conservation and use of the strengths of the different business organizations, more adapted to the prevailing market conditions at the meso level;

4)an alternative for eliminating weaknesses for different branches of the business structures;

5)a qualitative analysis of the portfolio of strategic alternatives for all organizational and managerial forms of rural entrepreneurship.

The proposed method allows to align the interests of rural businessmen, public authorities and various areas in the regions of Russia through the use of a modern marketing and a social technologies (eg, crowdsourcing, Internet portals, a joint on-line discussion on the development of agricultural business, focus groups, etc. ) [4].

The result of the development phase of strategic alternatives must be completely formed and meets the requirements portfolio, allowing visualize possible ways to achieve its business structure problems [5].

A qualitative analysis of a portfolio of strategic alternatives proposed to be based on the mechanism of profiling. Profiling is a purposeful change of the branch structure of the rural areas in the direction of increasing the proportion of business according to local factors of production, has a beneficial effect on the integral characteristics of the economic condition of the rural area. [12]

The profile of the rural area is a structure of economic complex of the countryside, reflecting its functional specialization. It is necessary to distinguish between the established, the actual profile, which may reflect outdated or inefficient initially specialized rural areas and scientifically based perspective profile formed taking into account objective factors of competitiveness of the rural area. [7]

In other words, profiling increasing the share of specialized industries and areas of agricultural business, what is happening as a result of implementation of the strategic plan for sustainable development of the territory [2].

The specialized areas of business are selected on the basis of the consolidated appeal of assessments and survival.

Attractiveness is based on identifying the impact that this line of business has or will have on sustainable development criteria indicators site [3]. Since the effect may be the most diverse and contradictory evaluation conducted on individual components - a factor of attraction. The assessment is based on a comparison of the actual value criteria indicators with the regulatory limit values, given a partition of all the possible range of values ​​criteria indicators into five sections. If you get the index value of the criteria for a certain period of the scale defined by the boundary values ​​of the standard ratio, direction of business is accordingly one of the groups receives the appeal and typical for this group of notional value of scoring the attractiveness of this factor.

Thus obtained partial assessment of the attractiveness of factors are important in the set {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}, and uniquely relate to the allocation of business structures in the group unappealing, unattractive, neutral, of a highly attractive and this factor.

An assessment of survival based on the simulation of siting by matching specific, significant for the industry and the areas of entrepreneurial activity characteristics of the local environment of production and life with the parameters of the medium possible alternative locations for [10]. The analysis leads to the construction of a series ranked as first in the list of business activity areas listed, which are more likely to benefit from placement in the area, and in the end those who receive from it the smallest benefit.

On the basis of comparison of the sensitivity of vectors (the importance of) the factors placing the vector of estimates of competitiveness of a rural area on the factor structure of each enterprise receives a set of partial survival estimates and summary evaluation of survival in the city.

Based on the final grouping of specialized index combining assessment of the attractiveness and survival, the following groups of strategic alternatives of development of agricultural business: high profile (CAP); potential profile (PP); Neutral (N) and non-core (NP). The priority alternatives in strategic planning of development of enterprise structures in rural areas are high profile and potentially profile. Non-core alternative should be excluded, and the neutral do not require the attention of the business entity. [8]

Regular assessment of the profile makes it possible to monitor the competitiveness of rural areas is reflected in the three indicators [6]:

1) the share of high-profile areas of entrepreneurship development in the structure of the economy;

2) the number of industries that have fallen for the analyzed period of the PP group in the EP group;

3) the share of industries with positive exponents survival in the total number of industries with positive evaluations appeal.

Analysis Group of attractive industries and areas of business development, with low scores survival (PP group) allows you to identify the key factors for the placement, which were hindering the development of rural areas.
