SIMULATION MODELLING FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT THROUGH CROSS-BORDER PARTNERSHIP

Abstract

The paper describes the simulation modelling process for entrepreneurship development through cross-border partnerships. A technological modelling framework based on the application of a simulation method to enhance business support through cross-border partnership is grounded. By analyzing the current state and selecting the border region development strategy, the key problems to be addressed in the long term have been identified. A range of actions formed at two levels to facilitate entrepreneurship development based on cross-border partnership have been simulated: in particular, the analysis and forecast of cross-border region resource potential and construction of managerial decisions options on boosting business development through cross-border partnerships. A simulation model which allows to build scenarios for the cross-border region development has been proposed, aimed at addressing the two major issues, namely: identifying the region development markers and facilitating on this basis qualitatively different variants of its dynamics and a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of each of the obtained variants, along with exploring their structure and possible consequences of their implementation. Specifically, further research in simulation modelling involves conducting a targeted computational experiments, the content of which is determined by a preliminary analytical study (usually with application of experiment planning methods and the results are mathematically valid.
