The relevance of the topic. The relevance of the study is due to the need to form a model of the economic success of the development of regions, their competitiveness is determined by the speed of managerial reactions to changes and challenges in the external environment. The study and assessment of the current level of socio-economic development of regions, the development of relevant tools for assessing the dynamics of the effectiveness of economic policy pursued by regional executive authorities is the topic of this study. Goal. The purpose of the study is to apply the modern method of agglomerative hierarchical clustering to classify socio-economic systems according to the level of management of the innovative potential of regions within the framework of long-term goals of building a competitive economy, which is an important factor in achieving the technological sovereignty of the country and improving the standard of living of the population. Methodology. A method of using one-dimensional clustering based on the Fisher algorithm, agglomerative hierarchical clustering, k-means clustering, and fuzzy clustering as relevant statistical methods for ranking regions by the level of innovation potential management is proposed. Results and conclusions. For the formation and classification of socio-economic systems of regions, the application of an 8-stage process for choosing an effective data clustering algorithm is proposed and the main stages of its use are considered. The identification of socio-economic mesosystems of the Russian Federation was carried out using the author's classification methodology according to the level of innovation potential management. In the matrix of balanced scientific and technological development, the influence of innovation management methods using the cluster analysis method for ranking and grouping clusters of socio-economic mesosystems is studied, which will further enable the development of management decisions in the context of managing the innovative potential of regions, developing state strategic policy in order to increase the competitiveness of regions, achieve technological sovereignty and improve the quality of life of the population. The scope of application. To assess the quality of the results of clustering of mesosystems of the Russian Federation according to the level of innovation potential management in the matrix of balanced scientific and technical development using metrics, a silhouette coefficient based on the author's methodology.

The relevance of the topic. The relevance of the research is due to the study of the theoretical basis of innovation process management in a regional context. The region is a place of creation of resources, innovations and technological capabilities of subjects, the basis for the development of competitiveness of market participants. In this regard, the study of the activities of territorial mechanisms of economic development as an important source of innovative processes, the main features of which are of a regional nature, is of great importance. Goal. Creation of a combined approach to the study of territorial forms of production organization as a source of innovative processes. Methodology. In the course of the study, the method of economic triangulation was used. Results and conclusions. The analysis of scientific sources on the study of innovative strategies for the development of regions is carried out. The existing unevenness in the form of a large fragmentation of research is interdisciplinary in nature and generates the complexity of the problem under consideration. The research presented in this paper is intended to systematize knowledge in this field, as well as their implementation with an applied purpose. They assess the state of regional development and regional innovation policy and indicate the main recommendations to regional authorities. Scope of application. These scientific studies provide a study of the actions and results of innovative processes in the regional economy.

The article proposes an integral approach to assessing the effectiveness of the activities of regional and municipal authorities on the introduction of the Standard for the Development of Competition in the Subjects of the Russian Federation on the Example of the Voronezh Region. The results of the assessment of the effectiveness of the activities of regional and municipal authorities to promote the development of a competitive environment can be used to identify problem areas of public administration, develop management actions to minimize negative impacts and maintain positive development trends in relevant areas. Also, this mechanism can be used as a tool for involving municipal entities in the work to improve regional competition policy.
