The article examines the problem of the relationship between qualitative and quantitative dimensions in organizational management. The aim is to substantiate the thesis of the priority of the qualitative content of management decisions over formalized metrics. The relevance is driven by the contradiction between the expanding capabilities of digital analytics and the declining quality of strategic decisions under excessive reliance on quantitative indicators.

The methodological basis comprises the systems approach, philosophical hermeneutics, and activity theory. An in-depth analysis of three systemic distortions generated by the absolutization of quantitative metrics has been conducted: goal displacement, compression of the time horizon, and displacement of the immeasurable. Central place is given to two components the concept (idea) and value-goal rootedness analyzed as the foundation of a sustainable enterprise. Using the example of the Rosatom State Corporation Production System, the mechanism of qualitative management in the long-term perspective is revealed.

The results show that the experience of Rosatom State Corporation represents a convincing example of the priority of value foundations over quantitative indicators. The article contributes to management theory through the development of the concept of managerial reflection as a key instrument of qualitative assessment. Further perspectives are associated with the creation of methods for qualitative evaluation of management activities and their validation in organizational practice.

The article is devoted to substantiating the development trajectories of the system of sustainable development of enterprises of the fuel and energy complex in the context of technological and institutional changes. The purpose of the study is to propose a conceptual approach to revising the current ESG model of industrial sustainability management, considering the increasing role of technological factors. The methodological basis consists of systemic and institutional analysis, elements of strategic and risk-based approaches.

In the course of the work done, the current situation of the existing management system for the sustainable development of fuel and energy companies was described. During the research, it was revealed that the sustainability of the fuel and energy sector is determined not only by environmental, social and managerial parameters, but also by the level of technological maturity, innovation potential and digital adaptability of companies. Accordingly, the article substantiates the need to expand the traditional ESG paradigm by including the fourth component of T (Technology). The ESGT model is proposed, which provides a comprehensive assessment of the strategic sustainabil-ity of enterprises. The methods of system analysis, synthesis, and classification are used in the work.

The results of the study can be used for further analysis of the proposed model, or in the formation of corporate strategies, investment policy and mechanisms of government regulation of the industry. The research prospects are related to the development of a methodology for quantifying the technological component of sustainable development.

The study conducted a comparative analysis of projected and actual indicators for electricity consumption, maximum installed capacity utilization, and the decommissioning and commissioning of production capacity. The analysis concluded that planned indicators for the electric power industry’s performance do not always reflect their actual results, and that the industry is experiencing a trend toward increasing electricity con-sumption and the need to use more generation capacity. The presented indicators for the decommissioning and commissioning of production capacity show that the electric power industry is exclusively replacing decommissioned capacity with new capacity, with no trend toward increasing capacity.

The study substantiates the lack of a trend toward innovative development in the electric power industry, and that the system operates within the traditional framework; that is, increasing demand for electricity requires the deployment of ever-increasing generation capacity. The study presents the main areas for the potential development and maintenance of the sustainability of the Russian electric power complex, which are related to capacity construction, modernization, innovative development, and the procurement of electricity from foreign countries. The first three areas have been shown to be promising; however, they require significant capital investment for their implementation. At the same time, it is substantiated that purchasing electricity from foreign countries is essential to meet the growing demand for electricity and ensure reliable power supply to consumers.

The article argues that it is advisable to purchase electricity from member states of the Eurasian Economic Union, as this supranational organization has adopted numerous documents aimed at both free electricity flows between energy systems and developed rules for mutual trade. Finally, it is noted that purchasing electricity from EAEU countries is consistent with the provisions of the Russian Federation’s Energy Strategy to 2050.

The article examines how public–private partnership (PPP) mechanisms support the modernization of Turkey’s infrastructure across transport, energy, and healthcare. By comparing the models used in practice (BOT, BOO, BLT, ToR), it shows how contractual design aligns with the asset life cycle, cost-recovery structure, and risk allocation between public and private parties. Evidence from major completed and planned megaprojects illustrates PPP effects on delivery timelines, service quality, and the contours of fiscal support, including treasury and tax instruments.

The analysis identifies functional specialization: BOT and BLT are primarily deployed for new assets with recovery through user charges and/or budgetary lease payments; ToR is used to improve the operational performance of existing facilities; BOO appears selectively in power generation. The Turkish approach is characterized by sector-specific regulation in the absence of a single framework law and by a coordinating role of fiscal authorities with respect to guarantees and contingent liabilities.

The results are applicable to project preparation, comparison of alternative models, and incentive design at the pre-investment assessment stage.

The article examines the processes of managing the Russian-Chinese organizational culture in the context of digital transformation, which are aimed at adapting to the changing conditions of the economic environment. It is indicated that digital transformation plays a key role in updating the company’s organizational culture, improving the efficiency of its business processes, and enhancing cooperation with partners.

The article provides a detailed analysis of the current state of the culture and its key components, identifying the advantages of a digital organizational culture that contributes to the development of a digitalization strategy, employee training in new technologies, and the implementation of digital innovations. Important components of the study include joint research with Chinese partners, the exchange of experience, and the creation of joint digital platforms to improve communication and collaboration. The authors note that creating a unified systemic model of digital organizational culture in the Russian-Chinese context presents significant challenges. In conclusion, the study concludes that in the current conditions of the Russian economy, digital organizational culture demonstrates several significant advantages, acting as a powerful catalyst. It has a significant impact on the construction of the organizational structure, contributes to the creation of a favorable and productive work environment, and encourages organizations to reevaluate their goals and transform their operations.

As a result, the digital transformation of the organizational culture of Russian-Chinese companies can lead to the optimization of operational costs, accelerate the development of innovative or improved products and services, and significantly improve the quality of communication and increase the level of interaction with customers and employees.

The article examines existing approaches to managing oil and gas projects, including those with digital solutions, and identifies current trends and directions for further development. The purpose of the study is to develop recommendations for improving the efficiency of project management with digital solutions in the Russian oil and gas industry, involving the formation of a specialized classification of digital initiatives and mechanisms for coordinating IT goals and strategic business goals, facilitating the ranking of initiatives in the process of their selection for further implementation in oil and gas companies.

The study conducted a meaningful review and presented the results of a structural analysis of the literature, which includes industry research, regulatory documents, corporate data of oil and gas companies and scientific publications. The methods of bibliometric thematic mapping and network analysis of semantic relationships were used to form a taxonomy of projects by category, stages of development, types of digital technologies used and economic effects.

The results of the study include: a formed classification of projects with digital solutions for the oil and gas industry; a table of economic effects distribution by category; recommendations on the application of the cascade of objectives of Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies and the principles of Governance, Risk, and Compliance, ensuring continuity of strategic priorities, measurability of key indicators, and system control at all stages of the project lifecycle to optimize the selection and ranking of IT initiatives with a limited budget and strict regulatory requirements.

The article develops methodological provisions for value-oriented management of urban organization resilience under digital transformation. The proposed value-oriented management system links organizational and socially significant values with decision-making, allocation of responsibility, interaction regulations, and digital management procedures. Structural-functional resilience is treated as a target state reflecting the preservation of an organization’s key functions under organizational, workforce-related, technological, and external changes within acceptable limits of adaptation.

Based on systemic, process, and institutional approaches, an integrated model is proposed comprising four interrelated management contours: value transmission and communication; decision-making and allocation of responsibility; digital solution management; and organizational change portfolio management. It is substantiated that the autonomous stability of individual organizational elements is insufficient for resilience; the alignment of these management contours and the reduction of managerial deviations between values, decisions, regulations, employee behavior, and digital instruments are of primary importance. A mechanism for implementing the model is proposed, including management system diagnostics, identification and classification of managerial deviations, selection of targeted managerial interventions, implementation of short-cycle managed changes, outcome monitoring, and institutionalization of successful changes in regulations, digital procedures, and communication practices.

Within this system, digital technologies and artificial intelligence are treated as infrastructural tools supporting managerial decision-making, whose application is governed by the requirements of responsibility, transparency, and preservation of the organization’s socially significant functions. The proposed approach provides a methodological basis for diagnosing, designing, and reproducibly implementing value-oriented management in urban organizations.

The article examines the formal institutions and informal practices of the Russian state science and education policy, identifies and systematizes its key characteristics, and identifies the external and internal factors that determine the current transformation processes. The relevance of the study is due to the need to explicate the logic of political decisions, taking into account value, identity, and geopolitical determinants, in order to prevent the reproduction of ineffective institutions.

The object of the study is the state science and education policy of the Russian Federation. The subject is the transformation processes in Russia’s science and education policy since 2022. The purpose of the study is to identify and systematize the key factors and priority areas of transformation in Russia’s state science and education policy since 2022.

The research is based on a systematic method and a neo-institutional approach. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the comprehensive analysis of the transformation processes in state science and education policy as a holistic systemic shift, as well as the application of neo-institutional theories to explain the sovereigntist turn of Russian policy by identifying the relationships between formal institutional changes and the reproduction of informal practices.

Based on the analysis of the relationship of power, it is expedient to identify the functional levels of the institutional architecture of the management of the scientific and educational sphere in modern Russia. The formal level is characterized by the monopolization of management functions by state authorities, while the informal institutional environment of scientific and educational policy is characterized by the underdevelopment of self-regulation mechanisms and the reproduction of ineffective practices that distort formal norms. The article identifies exogenous factors of transformation caused by the geopolitical confrontation with the elite groups of the “united West” countries, as well as endogenous factors caused by the institutional dysfunctions of the previous development model. The article identifies the main directions of development of Russia’s state scientific and educational policy: the sovereignty of the scientific and educational sphere, the subordination of structural changes to the logic of integration of science, education, and industry, the centralization of management and resource provision, and the value-based enrichment of the educational process.

The article studies cyclical patterns in international political development and in the transformation of the world order. Drawing on a cyclical–wave methodology, it argues that major shifts in the world order coincide with the upward phases of Kondratieff long waves. This relationship is attributed to the fact that such phases are marked by profound technological, institutional and geopolitical transformations, which alter the balance of power in the international system and precipitate successive reconfigurations of global order.

The analysis suggests that the period from the 2020s to the early 2040s — corresponding to the upward phase of the sixth Kondratieff cycle — is characterized by a systemically driven transformation of the international political system and a transition towards the new, polycentric world order. As in previous historical transitions, this shift is accompanied by domestic political turbulence, international conflicts and a rebalancing of influence at the global level, driven by the rise of new global and regional centers of power. The study projects that between 2026 and 2040 the United States will initially consolidate and subsequently experience a partial erosion of its position; that the political influence of the United Kingdom and EU member states will diminish; and that new “rising” global powers, notably China and India — will continue to strengthen, alongside emerging regional centers such as Australia, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and South Africa.

On the basis of a comparative analysis of leading states’ policies, the article identifies strategic priorities for Russia’s political development. These include securing substantive political and technological sovereignty; preserving continuity and an evolutionary trajectory of political development; advancing strategic foresight and long-term policy design in both domestic and foreign affairs; introducing social and political innovations in accordance with Russia’s institutional configuration and societal values; reducing inter- and intra-agency barriers in order to accelerate development; and enhancing communication and interaction between elite and mass social groups.

The article analyzes the system of anti-corruption policy of the Russian Federation, examines the main forms and methods of combating corruption, and evaluates their effectiveness based on modern scientific and regulatory sources. It is shown that the Russian anti-corruption model is based on the international legal obligations of the state and combines preventive and law enforcement forms of activity implemented within the framework of strategic planning.

The study analyzes the theoretical and legal foundations of anti-corruption policy, its proactive nature, and reveals its importance in the national security system. Based on the results of the comparative analysis, which consists in considering and comparing domestic and foreign approaches to determining the nature of corruption, the authors concluded that reducing corruption risks directly depends on limiting discretionary powers, increasing transparency of the procedure, and strengthening accountability of responsible officials. The article also pays special attention to preventive measures, including: anti-corruption declaration, examination of regulatory legal acts, legal education, conflict of interest resolution, as well as related activities of law enforcement and regulatory authorities. In addition, the article analyzes the legal, organizational and managerial, information-analytical and socio-psychological mechanisms for the implementation of anti-corruption policy, which includes, among other things, the digitalization of public administration and the use of the specialized state information system Poseidon.

The authors identify the main problems of modern anti-corruption policy, consisting of the formal nature of individual preventive measures, insufficient effective control and lagging legislation behind technological changes. Further digitalization of anti-corruption procedures, the development of public control and the strengthening of preventive work on the formation of anti-corruption awareness are proposed as promising areas.

The article examines aspects of state policy in the field of countering extremism that are significant for the Russian Federation. Currently in Russia is implementing an updated system of measures aimed at countering extremist activities, which is reflected in the adoption of new strategic documents and the improvement of legislation.

The article examines the evolution of the state policy of the Russian Federation on countering extremism after the adoption of the 2024 Strategy No. 1124.

The study analyzes the legal framework, interdepartmental coordination, digital control, suppression of financing, prevention among young people and migrants, and the regional level of policy implementation. Particular attention is given to the discrepancy between the statistics of detected crimes and the actual dynamics of threats: in 2021–2024, the number of extremist crimes changed from 1,057 to 1,719, while terrorist crimes increased from 2,136 to 3,714.

The article shows that blocking materials, maintaining lists of involved persons, and law-enforcement suppression produce rapid measurable results, yet have a weaker impact on the causes of radicalization. The conclusion substantiates the need for coordinated interdepartmental performance indicators, the development of targeted prevention, and the clarification of criteria for qualifying extremist acts.

The article examines the transformation of the role of the family in both historical retrospect and contemporary conditions. The aim of the study is to identify the transformation of the functions of the family as an institution of youth political socialization in the context of digitalization and to substantiate its inclusion in the system of state policy for the formation of political identity, based on the author’s model of interaction “state – media – family.” The methodological framework is grounded in institutional, systemic, and comparative-historical approaches, which make it possible to consider the family as a historically evolving social institution within the context of transformations in the media-communication environment. The study draws on the theory of political socialization, concepts of mediatization and network society, as well as tools of historical-pedagogical analysis and the regulatory framework.

The findings demonstrate that digital media are transforming into an independent institution of political socialization, shaping a flow-based informational model for constructing youth political identity. It is shown that under these conditions the family loses its status as the dominant agent of direct transmission of political attitudes; however, it retains significant influence through the functions of filtering, interpretation, and mediation of political meanings. The authors substantiate that the formation of political identity is currently carried out within an ecosystem that includes the interaction of the state, digital media, and the family.

The study concludes that there is a need to transform state youth policy: shifting from supporting the family as an autonomous institution toward its integration into a managed system of digital political socialization. This implies the synchronization of family upbringing, educational practices, and the media environment.
