Also, the attention was paid to the dynamics of economic growth, because this particular index allows characterizing the dynamics of the main economic indicators of the national economy. As a result of the study, the systemic and structural contradictions in the economic development of Ukraine, which are inherent in this period, were identified. It was found that hyperinflation and deflation counteract with economic growth. Therefore, the National Bank of Ukraine should set such an inflation corridor at which the gross domestic product will reach its maximum value.

The balanced scorecard as modern paradigm of system description of cluster activities.

The many enterprises in cluster are in intercommunication and interdependence. Therefore the system crisis of one of them can cause the «effect of domino». For this reason, it is necessity to development the new conceptual model of management clusters is formed of high-quality. That is expedient to carry out by approach of the systems to its forming. It must foresee many-sided, integral description of case frame as systems management. Therefore the paradigm of system description of activity a cluster and his participants (as autonomous units) has been outlined as the aim of the article. It is established, that the Balanced Scorecard the most expedient paradigms (model) of system description a cluster activities and its autonomous participants. It’s forms on basis elements of system description – the complex instruments that transformer the target of autonomous participants in cluster task and cluster Key Performance Indicators. Such base elements of system description it is expedient to consider: the system of determination, the decoupling aims and balancing aims, the complex instruments of «aimsfacilities»; «aims-criteria», the intercommunications of substantial factors and the structure of periods of time; the infrastructures of responsibility; cascading systems of control indicators; the systems of collection and analysis of data. 

Keywords: cluster, effect of domino, model, system description.
