Corporate High School Formations — Lateral Clusters: Basis for Establishment
Abstract
With the advent of information and communication technologies, the World Economic Forum’s Networked Readiness Index shows that on a national and global scale, Russia, just like any other economically developed society, has become information-oriented. There is a great demand for the development of innovations, enhanced productivity and competitiveness, and diversification and economic efficiency.
Aim. This study aims to substantiate the need for the establishment of corporate high school (HS) formations — lateral clusters that would unite various educational institutions, companies, and organizations engaged in the training of experts in information and communication technologies — as an efficient tool for enhancing national competitiveness.
Tasks. This study analyzes major approaches to the definition of “lateral clusters,” identifies the main forms of interaction between the objects of such clusters in Russia, and examines the market of mergers and acquisitions typical for HS in Russia.
Results. The analysis of strategies for the innovative development of corporate HS formations (lateral clusters) shows that a decision made in the context of limited resources depending on the size of the corporation is a crucial factor for the optimization of planning and goal setting. If the corporation is focused on the current activity, it will have to renounce strategic diversification and vice versa. Therefore, determining the resources that would provide the best opportunities for the achievement of strategic goals is a crucial challenge in the selection of an efficient strategy for the innovative development of corporate HS formations.
