 note = {The overall efficiency of Russia's agricultural machinery industry (AMI) was seriously undermined during the period of stagnation following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Western sanctions against Russia and counter-sanctions that began in 2014 revealed the problem of extremely high import dependence in the agrarian sector in general and AMI in particular, which led the Russian government to shift urgently to an import substitution policy based on innovative strategies. This study first overviewed the current situation and identified both positive changes and immense problems remaining in the industry and stated that traditional strategies of industrial development could not provide the necessary solutions, given the need for quick improvements. Transition to the innovative path of the AMI development requires the acceleration of scientific and technical progress and the introduction of new technologies. The implementation of industrial clusters is an effective instrument for the development of an innovative economy. The main objective of this study was to propose that the formation of a cluster in the Rostov region, where the most efficient AM manufacturers have been traditionally concentrated, would positively affect the domestic AMI in general and enhance the individual competitiveness of companies making up the cluster. Through the manufacturers' actual performance analysis, this study demonstrated that the region was an appropriate location for the rational import substitution program realization. Using an AHP model, it determined the most pertinent participants for the potential cluster and proposed a model for cluster formation. The actual level of “innovative readiness” of AM companies in the Rostov region and their potential profitability in the cluster compared with individual profitability was estimated using economic and mathematical modeling tools. Based on the calculations, it was concluded that functioning under the cluster was more economically efficient than functioning as independent enterprises for Rostselmash, Klever, and Salskselmash companies. The study proved that the formation of the cluster, centered on the manufacturer Rostselmash, would positively affect the productivity, innovation activity and development of all enterprises comprising the cluster. The development of its domestic AMI would allow Russia to conduct an independent policy of import substitution for food products, machinery, and equipment, and contribute to the food security of the country., 学位の種類: 博士（農学）. 報告番号: 甲第4516号. 学位記番号: 新大院博（農）甲第186号. 学位授与年月日: 平成30年9月20日, 新大院博（農）甲第186号},
