AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH TO ASSESSING THE COMPETITIVENESS OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY CLUSTERS

The article reveals the problem of assessing the competitiveness of regional textile clusters. The article provides a rationale for the effectiveness and expediency of joint use of the methods of the integrated indicator of competitiveness and the "polygon of competitiveness" to assess the competitive position of the cluster; the sequence of stages of implementation of this technique, as well as its shortcomings and main advantages, is presented and considered. As a result, a conclusion was made about the practical effectiveness of combining methods, since the analysis results in a high degree of visibility of the existing competitive advantages, as well as the weaknesses of the cluster, which makes the process of comparative assessment of their competitiveness as effective as possible. - Maqolada mintaqaviy to'qimachilik klasterlarining raqobatbardoshligini baholash muammosi ochib berilgan. Maqolada klasterning raqobatbardosh pozitsiyasini baholash uchun raqobatbardoshlikning integral ko'rsatkichi va "raqobatbardoshlik ko’pburchagi" usullaridan birgalikda foydalanishning samaradorligi va maqsadga muvofiqligi asoslab berilgan; ushbu texnikani amalga oshirish bosqichlari ketma-ketligi, shuningdek, uning kamchiliklari va asosiy afzalliklari ko'rib chiqilgan. Natijada, usullarni birlashtirishning amaliy samaradorligi to'g'risida xulosa chiqarildi, chunki tahlil natijasida mavjud raqobatdosh ustunliklar, shuningdek, klasterning zaif tomonlari yaqqol  namoyon bo'ladi, va qiyosiy baholash jarayonini samarali amalga oshirishga imkon yaratadi.
