Journal Title: Регіональна Економіка - Year 2016, Vol 81, Issue 3
Abstract
On the basis of generalization of current theoretical approaches, the essence of spatial forms of business activity that are the drivers of economic development of the regions, are characterized by different features and need systematization and typology to make informed management decisions, is grounded. <br>It is established that a variety of mechanisms of traditional and modern forms of business activity in the region need terminological ordering, unification of methodological approaches to their understanding and typology for the purpose of elaboration of strategic measures on the control of spatial development, modelling and prediction of new forms of spatial organization of the economy as certain «points of growth». <br>The features of development of spatial business forms, which lie in significant differences in their performance subject to location, are analysed. To ensure positive dynamics of regional development, the improvement of the efficiency of business entities’ interaction in the region is considered to be necessary as far as the integral index of business activity greatly depends on a spatial ordering of economic units in the region. <br>The essence of a number of key concepts is discussed and the meaning of «spatial forms of business activity» with its dominant forms in the region is defined. Typification of spatial forms of business activity organization by the nature of the integration ties’ development and by their spatial configuration is specified, namely, the point (local), linear, crowded in areas (zonal), the ones with a network structure (network). <br>It is stated that the concentration of business activity in the region and its forms depend on several factors, primarily on the development of scientific and technological progress. <br>Determination of theoretical principles of organization and development of spatial forms of business activity is proved not only to improve scientific statements of spatial economics, but also stimulate business development, statistical base of spatial development of the region, as well as speed up the reform of the regional economic policy in terms of decentralization. <br>The presented typology of spatial forms of business activity of the region shows that the criteria of the spatial forms’ distinction require further research in the context of determination of a unified methodology for study of spatial aspects of the region’s economy development, specification of spatial forms according to the dominant economic activity, establishment of spatial patterns of distribution and development of such forms in terms of factors of the spatial business forms location.
