The article discusses approaches to differentiation of agricultural enterprises of the Krasnodar region on the production potential. As the object of study we have selected 640 agricultural enterprises of the Krasnodar region for 2013. Cluster analysis allows visually differentiate organizations in economic parameters. The advantage of this approach is evident when analyzed a large number of organizations and performance. It is preferred that clustering is made using hierarchical cluster analysis and k-means. The results of clustering agribusiness enterprises of the Krasnodar region on the main economic indicators were given. During the analysis, we revealed that the AIC enterprises of the Krasnodar region generally form five clusters. Cluster 1 is characterized by a very high level of development of the productive capacity of agribusiness enterprises, consists of 12 organizations and is defined as "extra large" organization. 2nd cluster is characterized as "large", it includes 25 agricultural enterprises. 3rd and 4th clusters - as "average", they account for 60% of the acreage, 52.6% of fixed assets for agricultural purposes. 5th cluster is represented as "small", is a leader in the number of organizations - 371 units and contains a minimum number of employees - 30 people. It is assumed that these approaches can be used for analysis of agricultural organizations of the Krasnodar region with different levels of specialization and in other studies

In a competitive environment an effective measure of successful business management is diversification. This article discusses issues related to the expansion of the production activity of JSC "Slavprom" in the Slavic area. JSC "Slavprom" is a modern Vineyard and winery with a processing capacity of 6,500 tons of grapes per year. In the production activity of JSC "Slavprom" there is a number of problems: the low profitability of production; high levels of debt capital; insecurity own wine materials. As a way out of the crisis, the article examines the issues related to the expansion of industrial activity - the introduction of the production line of children's grape juice. This event will provide annually about 119.4 thousand. Liters of juice, and the five-year period - 597.0 thousand. L. Economic valuation of the project shows that the project is economically and socially effective, profitability is on average 23.3%. Discounted payback period at a discount rate of 14% is 20 months. Implementation of this project contributes entering new markets for JSC "Slavprom" with high quality and highly liquid products at an affordable price, replenishment at all levels and creating new vacancies

The article considers methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of the municipal administration of the Krasnodar Region. The effectiveness of the administration can be considered as quantitative and qualitative indicators – is an integral index. The advantage of this approach is, firstly, the number of indicators using for evaluation may be varied depending on the needs assessment, secondly, the indicators may be of different dimensions, that in normal circumstances is often difficult to assess, thirdly, evaluation is carried out on the basis of publicly available information posted on the Internet, including on the portal of the Federal State Statistics Service. Methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of the administration of the municipality consists of the following steps: definition of the objectives and evaluation criteria; time period; substantiation of system parameters and indicators; bringing them into a comparable form - standardization of indicators; calculation of integral indicators of the parameters by the additive convolution, or the method of distances; Differentiation of municipalities and their ranking. As a result of this methodical approach to the evaluation of the municipal administrations will get the value and parameters, whose analysis will reveal "narrow" places in their efforts to develop ways to address them, and to monitor the socio-economic state of the municipality

This article discusses the approaches to distinguishing the groups of municipalities of the Krasnodar region, which differ significantly in their performance from the others and that can help us to carry out a comparative assessment of the efficiency of use of agricultural lands and to develop appropriate measures to increase it. Use of cluster analysis allows identifying objectively existing, but apparently not expressed patterns that appear in different socio – economic phenomena. As the evidence of cluster features of the assessment of the effectiveness of using agricultural lands we have selected the following indicators: the crop production per 1 ha of farmland, the gross output of livestock per 1 ha of farmland, the proportion of arable land in the structure of agricultural land, the amount of farmland 1 organization. As a result of the clustering, the municipalities of the Krasnodar region consist of five clusters. Each cluster is characterized by its specialization and efficiency of use of agricultural lands. So the enterprises included in the second cluster are the primary producers of agricultural products of the Krasnodar region and use land resources with the greatest efficiency. Thus, the use of cluster analysis allows us to differentiate visually the municipalities of the Krasnodar region in terms of land use
