The paper shows that a multi-level
management system applicable in market
environment proved to be inconsistent
with network-economy. A two-level
management system is considered more
applicable in the context of network-

required for forecasting, planning,
accounting, analysis, and control over
production. The author proves that
management systems in contexts of market
economy, network-economy and "command-
hierarchy" economy differ from each
other in to what degree they are
oriented on client's demand for a
certain product.

Due to the multi-dimensional approaches to the cluster classification, we can find out basic peculiarities of knowledge and technologies applied and industrial and management structures in the different types of clusters; can understand the ways of how firms could contact industrial and technological environments and can identify interrelations between knowledge characteristics and an economic growth as well. The technique proposed by the authors allows classifying different meso-economic systems according to their diversity, their functional, institutional and social links and the nature of the innovation and technological processes applied.

Our analysis of the statistical data over 2000-2005 shows positive correlation between centralization of fiscal expenditures and GDP dynamics in most units of the Russian Federation. Nevertheless, not any increase in federal subsidies stimulates an economic growth because, among others factors, regional fiscal investments rather than centralized ones influence more positively on a speed of a regional growth.
