Importance The modern economic trends cause the creation of economic clusters. However, they are not competitive yet due to non-availability of a proper mechanism and methodological support to their formation and development.
Objectives The aim of the research is to perfect theoretical and methodological framework to provide solutions to problems of clusterization.
Methods The study draws upon the cluster approach to economy structuring, methods of economic analysis, synthesis, comparison, abstraction, systems and situation analysis.
Results The paper formalizes the algorithm and offers a system of metrics to assess the feasibility of interaction of enterprises in a cluster structure. The system includes two groups of indicators characterizing the integration performance, i.e. indicators of a change in organization's economic status and financial situation. Based on these indicators, I create a matrix to evaluate the efficiency of the integration and practicability of joint activity in the cluster, with subsequent strategy selection for further development.
Conclusions and Relevance The study develops theoretical and methodological framework for economic clusters' formation and development. The offered methods may be used to analyze the performance of economic subjects in the cluster. The methodology and the system of indicators may serve as analytical tools to provide a rationale for cluster formation and participation of certain enterprises therein.
