The state policy mechanism in the process of managing sustainable development of the forest cluster

In the system for assessing the sustainable development of the timber industry complex in the region, there is currently no mechanism that would take into account existing companies or, as in a specific case, economic clusters. Accordingly, it is also necessary to take into account the impact on the sustainable development of the region and the influence of this cluster, which is proposed to be done in the article, which provides indicators characterizing the sustainable development of the cluster. The article proposes a system of indicators of sustainable development of the timber industry cluster and forestry complex on the example of the Arkhangelsk region. Further, a complex index of the level of sustainable development of the region is calculated using the method of multidimensional comparative analysis, as a result of which it becomes possible to assess the relevance of supporting the development of the cluster from the point of view of state regional policy, compare the competitiveness of participants and determine the degree of its impact on the sustainable development of the region as a whole.
