Evolution of Russian and foreign approaches to defining the content of industrial cooperation

Aim. The presented study aims to analyze and substantiate practical recommendations for the formation and application of controlled interaction technologies, the development of importdependent and export-oriented enterprises, as well as systems comprising a unified business space at the meso, macro, and global levels within the framework of inter-firm cooperation during import substitution and localization.
Tasks. The authors substantiate their original approach to the formation and development of inter-firm network interaction, which involves integrating the management of the internal and external environment of an import-dependent and export-oriented enterprise of the real sector of the economy at the global, macro, meso and micro levels into a unified business space; consider an important component of strategic management as a function of the formation of managed interaction systems by a unified business environment that determines the sustainable development of enterprises, industries, and regions.
Methods. This study uses general scientific and special methods of cognition to investigate the process of finding and applying new forms of enterprise management within the framework of inter-firm cooperation in the context of maximum environmental fluctuations.
Results. It is found that scientific interest in cooperation is spiral in nature and each subsequent whorl reflects the realization of the opportunities provided by cooperation with regard to the current and future waves of innovation (for example, as it happens in the current historical period exhibiting the signs of transformation of inter-firm industrial cooperation into cybersocial networks organizing the interaction between man and machine). According to the authors, as industrial cooperation evolves based on a capacious base of theoretical and applied scientific research in the field of formation and management of network entities, it requires additional study of the possibility of development through the implementation of interaction in the systems of a unified business space.
Conclusions. The study shows that the systems of a unified business space are a specific and promising form of implementation and management of the development of industrial cooperation that is in demand within the framework of the strategy of innovative development of production and products during the implementation of the policy of import substitution and industrial localization.
