To develop strategic human capital management objectives of an industrial region on the basis of comparative inter-regional analysis. Methods. Modern concept of human capital and strategic management theory form the methodological basis of the paper. In the research the general scientific methods of induction, deduction, abstraction, structural and logical analysis, comparative analysis, and also economic-statistical methods (analysis of variance, ANOM), rating assessment method have been used. Results and practical importance. The expediency of the comparative interregional analysis as an essential tool in determining the strategic development goals is proved. Methodology for assessing human capital in terms of the industrial region conditions on the basis of the indicator approach is developed and specific assessment indicators are offered. The human capital development level of a typical industrial region Kemerovo region compared to other Siberian Federal District regions is identified. The imbalance of human capital development of an industrial region is justified. Inadequacy between the existing strategic objectives of socio-economic development of the region and the need to develop human capital is revealed. A system of human capital development objectives of the Kemerovo region in terms of economic modernization is developed. The obtained results can be used for development and adjustment of strategic planning documents of the Kemerovo region and other industrial regions. Scientific novelty. Methods of human capital assessment of an industrial region are offered, which unlike the existing ones focus on measuring the strategically important human capital characteristics, allowing for the key development trends identification. Organizational and methodological tools of strategic goal-setting for human capital development are elaborated, which unlike the existing approaches employ the results of the inter-regional comparative analysis, allowing for management system targeting at achieving a balanced development level of all human capital components.
