www. kokanduni.uz Research Methodology: The theoretical and methodological basis of the study are the
fundamental concepts, scientific works of famous scientists dealing with the problems of
industrial clustering, justified and presented in modern and classical literature, using sources
of statistical data, including official data from the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of
Uzbekistan, the Association of Cotton-Textile Clusters of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the
State Committee on Statistics of the Republic of Uzbekistan, as well as individual regulatory
documents, reports of relevant departments and organizations, the feasibility and scientific
justification of the methods used, such as comparative, economic and statistical, grouping
methods, expert assessments.
Literature Review: The tasks of formation and functioning, as well as the
implementation of the cluster method in their management of the competitiveness of
enterprises, are devoted to the works of foreign scientists of economic science such as: A.
Marshall [2], M. Porter [3], A. Weber, S. Rosenfeld, P. Krugman, D. Solier, E. Dahmen [4] and
others, as well as researchers from the CIS countries: A.N. Oleinik, N.V. Smorodinskaya [5],
D.D. Katukov, E.G. Karpova [6], I.N. Kolosovsky, E.V. Ivanova [7], A.A. Nastin, Yu.V. Yaremenko,
A. Shastitko and others. The founders of the "cluster" theory and the most popular
researchers in this area are A. Marshall and M. Porter. It is necessary to note the significant
scientific works of these two scientists and economists in the emergence and development of
the world concept of clusters.
Research on the promotion of the cluster approach in the industry of Uzbekistan was
carried out by M.A. Rakhmatov [8], N.M. Makhmudov [9], S.M. Kasymov, S.S. Gulyamov, S.
Salikhov, A. Sh. Bekmuradov [10], D. K. Akhmedov, Sh. , M.Tillyakhodzhaev, D.Kurbanova [11],
D.Mirzakhalilova [12], G.Zakhidov [13], R.A.Gulyaev [14] and others.
Despite the fact that there is a wide economic literature devoted to the consideration of
various aspects of economic clusters and their role in the development of the national
economy, a number of problems still need further research. There are different opinions and
definitions in the interpretation of its categorical concepts, there is a deviation in the correct
organization of quantitative and qualitative constituent elements that prevent the transition
of internal enterprises to the global path of development.
