摘要

This article is devoted to the issues of formation of cluster policy, which performs large influence on region's strategic development. Development of regional cluster policy requires paying special attention to development of IT proto-clusters, which are growth points of full working clusters. Using the global experience in the sphere of creation and development of clusters is not sufficiently studied in the sphere of strategic development of IT proto-clusters, which negatively influences the development regional cluster policy. IT proto-clusters are formed due to emergence of sustainable ties between their participants that possess innovative activity, due to which creation and development of regional IT proto-clusters is accompanied by quick distribution of innovational products and effective exchange of information between its participants. Analysis of international experience in the sphere of formation of regional clusters according to the dirigisme and liberal models and application of the global experience in development of cluster approach during realization of strategic development of regions shows the possibilities for creation of clusters in the Russian conditions in view of adaptation technologies. Development of the cluster policy in the Russian economy in the context of strategic development is influenced by the processes of market transformation. The main peculiarities of the modern cluster policy in the Russian Federation include large influence of the state and low level of development of business climate and spatial structure of economy. Wise development of IT proto-clusters in the regions is an urge for creation of competitive advantages not only at micro- and macro-levels, as IT clusters are growth points, ensuring promotion of goods and services at the international markets.
