ECONOMIC COLLABORATION AS AN INNOVATION FACTOR OF IMPORT SUBSTITUTION IN THE MACHINE-BUILDING INDUSTRY OF THE REGION
The economic collaboration of economic entities of regional machine-building is a tool for implementing the policy of import substitution and a way to activate the innovative capabilities of the regional economic system. The role and possibility of applying the economic collaboration in im-port substitution as an innovation factor in the development of machine-building in the Kaliningrad region are substantiated. Examples of collaborative interaction of machine-building organizations at the international and national levels are considered. A structural-logical model of factorial impact on economic collaboration of regional machine-building enterprises to achieve industry-specific propor-tions of import substitution is developed. The results of the research can be applied in the practice of managing industries to solve the tasks of import substitution, ensuring technological and economic security, as well as achieving synergistic effects in the economic development of the Kaliningrad region. The scientific significance is the development of an effective form of mutually beneficial cooperation and harmonious combination of material and intangible resources, concentrated and at the same time dispersed at different levels of economic entities of the machine-building industry. This structural-logical model is the basis for constructing an algorithm of actions to develop and im-plement the strategy of import substitution and technological innovation of the regional economy.
