This master thesis is on ‘Web based Market Linkage Systems for Small to Medium Enterprises in the timber value chain of Russia’, containing 103 pages, 14 tables, 42 figures, a sample questionnaire, a sample code and 60 references. There has been a steady decrease in the number of registered Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Russian forestry sector in period, 2005-2014. Yet, demand for timber products in the foreign market seemed growing, a potential to contribute immensely to the national budget income. Reports mention of forest exploitation by entities lacking coordination causing unnecessary competition and costs amongst SMEs. Huge expenses in production, transportation and marketing are incurred. Flow of information in this value chain is uneven, fragmented and erratic, making planning by SMEs owners extremely difficult. Our research findings confirm the existence of marketing challenges. We introduce a Web based Market Linkage System (WMLS) as a technology and model to manage SMEs marketing activities in the timber value chain. Karelia, Yakutia, Tyumen and Sverdlovsk forestry regions are reorganized into market clusters, influenced by Hungarian Algorithm, to share online, a centrally managed database. For transport resource optimization, a model using GIS technology with multi agents is integrated. The results show the benefits of WMLS technology.

Keywords: Web based Market Linkage System, Timber Value Chains, GIS technology, AnyLogic and Market Cluster.
