Abstract

The article examines industrial sharing as a special institutional configuration that ensures the adaptation of regional production systems to the conditions of resource constraints, technological transformation and increasing instability of the market environment. The study is based on the analysis of empirical cases from various subjects of the Russian Federation, in which practices of joint use of production infrastructure, equipment and logistics solutions are implemented. Particular attention is paid to the influence of sharing models on the spatial organization of production chains, as well as the institutional and infrastructural prerequisites that ensure their viability. It is concluded that industrial sharing not only reduces costs and increases the access of small and medium-sized businesses to industrial resources, but also contributes to the formation of a new logic of regional cooperation based on distributed access and a network configuration of production interactions.
