To the Issue of the Methodology of Formation of Shipbuilding Programs in Russia

The presented study addresses the need to change approaches to the formation of long-term shipbuilding programs in the Russian Federation and determines the place of such programs in the system of strategic management of the national economy.

Aim. The study identifies efficient approaches to the formation of long-term shipbuilding programs in Russia with allowance for international experience and current political and economic conditions.

Tasks. The authors analyze the existing methodological framework for the formation of shipbuilding programs in the Russian Federation; examine the shipbuilding development experience of South Korea, China, the US, and Ukraine; address the issue of improving the investment climate in the shipbuilding industry by changing the institutional conditions in closely related industries.

Methods. This study’s scientific methodology is based on using general scientific methods of cognition, a systems approach to the problem, and comprehensive consideration of the issues of formation of industry programs with allowance for the specific features of shipbuilding.

Results. Over the past decades, shipbuilding programs in the Russian Federation have been formed according to a methodological framework of questionable depth and insufficient sophistication. Successful development of shipbuilding in the world’s leading countries is largely due to the achievement of the required level of competence and technological advancement accumulated through the development of the domestic market, which is impossible without active state participation. Based on the analysis of positive and negative shipbuilding development experience of different countries and current trends in the Russian shipbuilding industry, it is possible to conclude that the success of shipbuilding development largely depends on the rules (institutional conditions) established by the state.

Conclusions. The efficiency of investment processes in the industry can be improved by integrating the shipbuilding development program into a global program for the development of the marine economic complexes of the Russian Federation.
