Abstract
The article presents the results of research, showing that the clusters in Western science have not yet gained the unity of understanding; they are attributed to completely different functions and aims. But there are many definitions and similarities. Thus, the organizational and economic base for creation of any cluster organizations is the methodology of cooperation and integration of various business entities, regardless of their feld of activity.
