The paper emphasizes the relevance of the research of network entrepreneurship structures. The role of network business structures in the development of interregional economic cooperation is explained. As far as the facilities of network business structures are located in various Ukrainian regions, they contribute to not only the establishment of interregional economic links, but also the improvement of meeting the residents’ needs for goods and services. The condition and development dynamics of the largest pharmacies networks in Ukraine are analyzed. On this basis the features of interregional distribution of their trade outlets, organizational and spatial aspects of their functioning and network links in terms of evaluation of the level of centralization, structural homogeneity and openness of networks are defined. The analysis of major financial-economic activity indicators of the leading pharmacies networks in Ukraine showed that they develop in correspondence with their capacity and development trends at the market of pharmaceuticals in Ukraine. The analysis also showed that most of networks under research have high density of internal connections, maximized centralization level, homogenous structure, and high links mobility. We can observe the tendency towards the increase of trade outlets in the networks and insufficient activity of pharmacies networks in terms of participation in joint innovative projects. The express-estimation of the functioning efficiency of six pharmacies networks, which are the leaders of national market by the number of facilities and volumes of sales, established that the company Apteka-Mahnolia (“Apteka nyzkyh tsin”) has received the strongest synergy effect by the profitability and number of newly created trade outlets. The network of pharmacies “Podorozhnyk” has the strongest synergy effect by the proceeds in the pharmacy network. The abovementioned companies use the progressive management methods that promote the efficiency of their activity.

The study examines the effects of industrial parks and technoparks at the regional level. Based on the financial and economic indicators of residents of industrial parks and technoparks, the geography of their activities at the level of the Russian Federation constituent entities is considered. To perform this study the author’s database on residents is used, created on the basis of information from the commercial database Orbis for the period 2010 – 2018, as well as the open data from the Federal Tax Service and statistics from the Rosstat. There is a strong concentration of the market for industrial parks and technology parks in several regions of Russia, including city of Moscow, Moscow and Kaluga regions and the Republic of Tatarstan. This fact can be explained with objective reasons, including the agglomeration effect, capacious sales and labor markets, as well as other indicators of investment attractiveness. Most industrial parks and technoparks currently do not have a significant influence on development of the regions in which they are created, which may be caused by such factors as the insufficiently competent investment-resident policy of management structures. According to the results of the study, a conclusion is made that the role of industrial parks and technoparks in social and economic development is significant only in a few regions with high competitive advantages, and in regions without such advantages parks do not impact on the development significantly.

Introduction. The article examines the processes of transformation of the institutional environment of the regional timber industry enterprises in Karelia in the 1990s. The aim of the study was to identify the impact of this transformation at the level of socio-economic development of the Republic of Karelia as a Finno-Ugric region with the predominant development of the branches of the timber industry. Materials and Methods. The research methodology is based on the use of a predominantly institutional approach. Its application makes it possible to trace the changes that occurred in the structure of the institutional environment of regional timber industry enterprises with the beginning of market transformations in the 1990-ies, as well as the degree of effectiveness of the interaction of this enterprise with various economic entities. Results and Discussion. The analysis of the changes that took place in the first post-Soviet decade in the institutional environment of regional timber industry showed a number of negative aspects. First of all, the role of the state greatly reduced, which was unable to form effective “rules of the game” for the timber economy. The Forest Code adopted in 1997 infringed upon the rights of Karelia as a subject of the Federation, since only a part of the forests could be transferred to the ownership of the Republic. In the current difficult conditions, with the absence of the party and state control departments, and the difficult financial situation of the region, the role of regional authorities in solving the problems of forestry enterprises increased. In the context of spontaneous privatization and the collapse of the financial system, timber industry enterprises faced numerous problems of interaction with suppliers, customers, consumers and banks. This period was the time of the strengthening of the role of foreign companies in the work of timber enterprises. Unfortunately, having received a controlling stake in a number of domestic enterprises, foreign entrepreneurs were in no hurry to invest in their development. Conclusion. The transformations that took place in the institutional environment of the regional forestry enterprises in the 1990-ies negatively affected the level of the socio-economic development of Finno-Ugric region, based on the development of branches of the timber industry complex.
