Abstract

The airlines employ flexible approach to strategic planning and conducting regular environmental monitoring of an unstable economy. The purpose of this paper was to adapt the SWOT-analysis to assess regional aviation clusters development.

This cluster incorporates enterprises, interconnected by the aircraft lifecycle: aviation enterprises, infrastructure enterprises, operating airlines, scientific and educational organizations. The method of the SWOT-analysis is applied for a specific enterprise and for the aviation cluster as a whole. The author analyzed the factors of the external and internal environment of the Ulyanovsk region aviation cluster.

In the studying process the priority of strategic decisions and the most significant capabilities of this socio-economic system, presented the basic economy indicators of this cluster was identified.

The study proved that using the SWOT-analysis requires quantification and ranking of external and internal environment factors of the regional aviation cluster.

Quantitative correlation of the factors reveals negative phenomena in the external environment of the aviation cluster. The paper offers the expert evaluation of factors according to four criteria such as, factors rating calculations, the relationship of the identified external and internal environment factors of the aviation cluster.

The greatest threats for the Ulyanovsk region aviation cluster are as follows: the gross regional product decline, the risk of the growth rates of loans to airlines, severer tax environment for business, dependence of the airlines development from State support. Risks that occur quickly and unexpectedly, devastating to the economic system. If adverse factors are inevitable, but not instantaneous (for example, the outflow of the region qualified personnel, reduction of the population), the production is adapting to them.

The research has practical value due to quantitative justification of the priority risks enabling the company to direct the limited resources more precisely.
