Prerequisites for undertaking and developing cooperation by industrial and construction companies

Abstract

The text is devoted to the prerequisites for undertaking cooperation by competitive industrial and construction enterprises in the perspective of formation and development of cluster structures. The research problem was formulated in the form of four key questions concerning both present and future cooperation between competing companies. Quantitative research, conducted in late 2014 and early 2015 covered 381 enterprises, including 305 industrial and 76 construction companies. The conducted analysis showed a large deficit in terms of both the existing cooperation and readiness to strengthen it in the near future. Under such conditions, it is therefore difficult to talk about the real possibilities of creation and development of effective cluster structures.
