stages

Now cluster approach is one of the most effective ways of management of subjects of economy and their associations, allowing to gain synergetic effect. Theoretical part. Information cluster as a form of association of subjects of economy for the purpose of an increment of knowledge possesses distinctive characteristics that results in need of development of algorithm of education and functioning of information cluster taking into account specifics of functioning of this cluster and is more whole than its creation. Existing algorithms of formation of a cluster are focused on traditional forms of a clustering of economic subjects and in case of their application to information clusters, demand a specification taking into account as the general, and private specifics of a cluster. Results of research. Formation of information cluster can be conditionally divided into stages: preparatory (definition of opportunity and an assessment of expediency of formation of information cluster), the main (formation of model of information cluster), finishing (development of the mechanism of creation and cluster functioning). Conclusions. Realization of the offered algorithm will allow to create information cluster with the certain organizational and institutional structure which creation will be comprehensively proved, and functioning will be directed on achievement of the objectives of a cluster and its separate elements, increase of competitiveness of national economy and the region.
