title: Strategic Management of Clustering Policy During Provision of Sustainable Development
abstract: Analysis of the problems of sustainable development of territories shows that one of the main methods for solving is transition to strategic management of the policy of clustering. Strategic management of the policy of clustering is pre determined mainly by quick changes of external environment and emergence of hardly predictable economic and financial situations. An important precondition of transition to strategic management of the policy of clustering of territories is the process of globalization of the country's economy, which determines not only the necessity to use the resource potential effectively, but also to create conditions for creation and formation of new competitive advantages. Enterprises and organizations of small business should become their bearers. The Concept of long term socio economic development of the Russian Federation until 2020 sets one of the most important conditions for transition to innovational development as "creation of a network of territorial and production clusters which realize competitive potential of territories" Besides, the Strategy of innovational development of the Russian Federation until 2020 includes into the main goals of innovational policy of regions the transition to principles of innovational cluster policy. Thus, strategic documents of the federal level pay special attention to management of clustering policy through creation of a network of clusters which would allow increasing effectiveness of using competitive potential of territories and providing their sustainable development through development of the network of territorial and production clusters of subjects of small business.

title: Strategic Management in African Firms: A Local Perspective
abstract: This paper favours a local approach to the strategic management of firms in Africa. Globalization and internationalization of world markets have upset the economic dynamics of African countries by allowing the private sector to become the predominant player in wealth creation. Business restructuring and privatization programs constitute an integral part of this new dynamic. Today, new management practices, new concepts and new strategic management tools are the predominant factors in determining how well African firms perform. As a result, the question arises as to whether the concepts, theories and classical methods of management are applicable to the background of these countries. By comparing the three most popular theoretical perspectives used in the field of strategy (institutional perspective, transactional costs perspective and resources based perspective) to the African context (based on four cases studies) we come to the conclusion that a local approach must be integrated to these three perspectives in order for African companies to fully succeed.
