Improving the quality of the urban environment allows the government to influence on large number of citizens, including changing their migration preferences. Urban development can offer a large amount of patriotism. The successes of socio-economic development of cities are confirmed by practice when the planned activities are fully implemented.

At the same time, the goals are to consolidate the indigenous population of cities, to attract high-quality specialists from other cities with favorable living conditions. Such internal migration processes can be both permanent and temporary-all of them are aimed at creating socially necessary products. If such trends are supplemented by high wages in high-tech industries that implement advanced technologies, the influx of the required number of highly qualified specialists becomes very likely.

Improvement of the quality of the urban environment and its ecological condition on high level is now a state-supported priority. It meets the criteria of social justice, focuses on a more active lifestyle of citizens, which has a positive impact on the health of the population. In addition, the health-improving effect of favorable living conditions is felt on a subconscious level, positively charging people with new energy, improving their mood and maintains their tone on a high emotional level.

Improving the comfort of the living environment in addition to improved housing conditions provides for the improvement of infrastructure, a significant transformation of the surrounding landscaped areas, as well as socially significant public urban spaces that harmoniously complement the natural resource potential of settlements.

All this in a complex influences on the positive public mood of society and helps to increase the competitive advantages of specific cities in the fight for human capital, affecting also the migration preferences of modern people.

In order to generalize foreign experience in the field of state price policy, the practical experience of the Republic of India on the use of state price regulation tools has been considered. A review of the legislation has been conducted, the mechanism has been revealed, and the pros and cons of certain state price control measures have been highlighted, in particular the use of a list of vital goods, the establishment of a mandatory maximum market price for all packaged goods, and the protection of the competitive environment of the national market. The results of the state policy of price regulation, as well as the dynamics of key indicators of the Indian economy over the past five years have been analysed. Further prospects and directions of development of the economy of the Republic of India have been outlined.

The scientific research methodology has been based on a systems approach. Depending on the nature of the problems being developed, the methods of causal analysis, economic-statistical, monographic, abstract-logical and comparative have been applied. The regulatory legal acts of the Republic of India, statistics, electronic resources, as well as operational primary information of the ministries and departments of the Central Government of India make up the information base of the study.

It has been concluded, that the state-built model of price regulation provides protection not only to consumers, ensuring the availability of necessary goods, but also to producers, ensuring redistribution of profit in their favor. The problems of the functioning of individual instruments of the state pricing policy have been indicated, however, based on statistical data, a generalized conclusion has been made, that they are not critical and do not undermine the country’s economy or the free functioning of the market. The prospects for the use of certain elements of the state price policy of India in the Russian economy have been evaluated.

The relevance of the study is determined by the need for a theoretical justification and development of proposals to improve the forms and methods of increasing the competitiveness of leasing companies in the current environment. In this regard, the problems in the Russian leasing services market and the causes of their occurrence have been analyzed in the article, the main trends of its development have been defined. The main areas of increasing the competitiveness of leasing companies in Russia have been designated and specific ways of development of these areas are proposed.

The proposals to improve the functional management structure of leasing companies, to optimize the way they finance their activities, to improve price policy, have been considered in detail and developed in the article. Opportunities for implementation and development of risk management, expansion of the range of leasing services have been reviewed. Issues related to the state support of the leasing industry have been highlighted and considered by a separate aspect.

Some of the risks of leasing companies associated with the activities of the leasing recipient organization especially have been highlighted. These include the risks of non-payment or late payment of lease payments, non-return of the leasing item, the risk of insolvency of the leasing recipient. And in this regard, ways of reducing these risks by conducting a comprehensive analysis of the leasing capacity in terms of the implementation of the planned project using all possible methods and tools of financial analysis have been determined.

The experience of leading multinational players in conducting corporate technological foresight shows that the key to its successful implementation is effective integration with the existing corporate strategic planning system.

The issue of identifying the most important and necessary measures for integrating foresight into the corporate governance system of oil and gas companies has been considered in the article. The elements of the corporate management system with which it is necessary to build interrelation and description of options for strategies, have been presented, recommendations for conducting foresight for each of them have been given. It has been noted, that the use of foresight research has a significant impact on the effectiveness of individual projects and on the efficiency of companies' activity as a whole.

The results obtained have showed that the effectiveness of the results of foresight directly depends on the company’s readiness to conduct it and the level of maturity of scientific and technical processes of innovative development of the company. The directions of the company’s management system, that have a particularly strong impact on the effectiveness of the results of foresight research have been highlighted, as well as methods for assessing the company’s readiness to conduct foresight have been proposed. An assessment of the options for applying foresight research depending on the company’s chosen model of innovative development and innovative development program has been given. It has been noted, that the greatest effect is achieved with a proactive management model that allows you to fully use the tools of foresight research, resulting forecasts. Using foresight for active and passive models doesn't give any advantages for the company, it leads to additional costs. The relationship between foresight and the most common organizational management structures, currently used in Russian oil and gas companies, has been shown.

A technology for the formation of information-security mission of accounting and control processes in the digital conomy and the changed requirements for the formation of information for management decisions, combining in a single information-digital “shell” accounting, control, analytical and other iterations, which should contribute to a better compilation of different reporting formats, has been presented. On the basis of a comparative assessment of approaches and opinions of Russian and foreign scientists on the essence of this issue, conclusions, regarding the need to improve the tools of accounting engineering in terms of aggregation of information on the accounts and the accounts themselves, have been drawn.

The proposed technology of accounting and control processes is based on a risk-oriented method that allows to identify previously veiled shortcomings of the functioning of accounting subsystems (statistical, production and technical, financial and evaluation, management). Having identified the business risk by the Classifier, the analyst forms a risk map in which external and internal threats to the growth and development of the holding are grouped, decisions on which risks are formed, there is a need to minimize threats, optimize solutions. This opportunity provides analysts with the necessary impetus to establish their causal basis for further development of the concept of minimizing business risks.

It has been proposed to develop the methodology of accounting and control processes using the provisions of the theory of comparativistics. The model of information support of the decision of tactical and strategic tasks in the large company of holding type allowing us to transform successfully business processes and “digital” models of their management by development of methodology of accounting-analytical and control-regulatory support of all cycles (stages) of strategy implementation has been developed. As a result, this support will meet the modern requirements of management practice in a broad understanding of the meaning and significance of this process.

The topic of Responsible Finance is becoming an important issue in the functioning of our financial systems. There are many interesting developments in social, governmental and corporate perspectives that promote more ethical and sustainable principles of making financial decisions, allocating resources and capital. The boom in ESG investing (taking into account Environmental, Social and Governance factors) over the last 10 years suggests the great importance of this topic for funding allocation worldwide. Investment proj ects are now assessed on a variety of metrics, not only based on their potential financial gains. Governments also have a role to play, as they support private initiatives and reconsider a huge variety of their projects to account for these additional factors that eventually impact population’s welfare. All economic agents should pay attention to this transformation to not miss out on the new standards of financial responsibility. These changes present great opportunities for the world of finance, whilst having few drawbacks. In this article a closer look at the founding principles of financial responsibility is taken. Authors examine how these principles shape the financial policy with concrete examples from social, corporate and government perspectives. Authors also emphasize the factors that potentially limit the unitary acceptance of such practices around the world.

The problems of formation and improvement of accounting and control system in information support of management railway transportation strategy have been analyzed.

Implementation of the purpose of the article related to the improvement of the principles and planning and analysis methods of revenues and expenses for certain activities of railway transport companies on the basis of generalization of the theory and best practices of management of complex economic systems, allowed us to develop proposals aimed at optimizing the planning and analysis methods of profits and expenses for certain activities of railway transport companies. In particular, the main tasks of intra-corporate business planning in the presentation of managers, types of generated business plans, their relationship, have been formulated; the conditions that ensure the effectiveness of the business planning system have been defined. Recommendations for operational co-ordinating in the contour of planning processes, improving the methodology of intra-corporate financial and production control have been given. Approaches to the analysis of revenues and expenses for certain types of activities, methods of analysis of deviations of planned indicators from the actual ones have been determined.

The composition of the costs of railway transport enterprises and the possibility of using their classification for management purposes have been analyzed. The possibilities of using “direct costing” in railway transport companies have been shown, by providing separate accounting of fixed and variable costs in the context of the most significant cost items in terms of the level of calculation, the formation of the nomenclature of costs directly related to the processes of creating specific products and the volume of activity of the allocated responsibility centers. Recommendations on the sequence of calculating the variable cost of rail transport and financial results, the composition of key indicators for planning, reporting and monitoring of the structural units of railway transport enterprises have been given. It has been proposed to introduce additional analytical columns in the forms of internal reporting of railway companies, which will reflect the absolute and relative deviations of the values of budget indicators.

Corporate social responsibility has recently become an important part of any organization’s activities. However, organizational culture is undoubtedly crucial and fundamental for the sustainable functioning of organizations. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between organizational culture and corporate social responsibility.

Linear regression analysis was used to achieve this goal. Data on four types of organizational culture and the opinions of employees from different enterprises in eight industries were compared using ANOVA variance analysis. Three hypotheses have been put forward that: all types of organizational culture predict the direction of corporate social responsibility “the effectiveness of the organization’s activities in relation to social issues»; all types of organizational culture predict the direction of corporate social responsibility “the organization meets the interests of its agents”; different types of organizational culture dominate in different industries.

An empirical study of enterprises in eight industries has shown the relationship between types of organizational culture and corporate social responsibility. Different types of organizational culture dominate in different branches of industry. In addition, certain types of organizational culture are more important for different areas of corporate social responsibility. In the course of the research, the results were obtained, which showed that all the analysed types of organizational culture predict the directions of corporate social responsibility that are responsible for the effectiveness of the organization’s work in relation to social issues and show its effective implementation. The “clan”, “hierarchy”, and “bureaucracy” types of organizational culture provide an opportunity of anticipation of circumstance that the organization respects the interests of its agents. As a result, a model has been developed, that shows their relationship.

One of the current digitalization trends is focusing on studying customer experience. At present, when managing personnel, it is necessary to analyse and correctly plan the employee’s path in the company - “Employee Experience”. Properly thought out work environment and business processes, focused not only on clients but also on employees, create a good psychological climate. This, in turn, helps the employee to efficiently solve tasks, get business results, show and be focused on developing their talents. The synergy of design thinking, process transformation and continuous improvement approaches will help to change the organization’s culture, create partnerships between staff and management to ensure the success of the changes.

The stages of the process transformation, after the completion of which a cycle of continuous improvement of business processes that underwent transformation begins, have been presented in the article. It has been noted, that design thinking techniques can be used for the development and reengineering of not only products (in the usual sense, as a product or service), but also in principle, technology of activity as such (processes). An example of embedding design thinking methods in the process transformation has been given: HMW, Customer Journey Map, The World Caf6, Current-Future-Barriers, Matrices of positive and negative experience. To demonstrate the incorporation of design thinking methods, one of the most capacious stages of the process transformation was chosen - process design. The presented example of the application of design thinking methods for designing business processes can be detailed after clarifying the features of a particular proj ect, supplemented by other design thinking methods, as well as techniques from the arsenal of continuous improvement and process transformation.

An analysis of organizational culture transformation models has been presented. The mechanisms and tools which can be used for changes, have been studied, which are understood as any actions aimed at reviving or reorienting the activity of the organization. Cultural changes in the form of a matrix, containing the effects of reactive and proactive factors and ameliorative and strategic goals, have been analysed.

Correlations between the stage of development of organizational culture and its transformation have been highlighted. Depending on the stage reached by the organization, specific sets of measures specific sets of measures are being taken. The key elements that can ensure the success of organizational and cultural changes, such as leadership, staff involvement, stakeholder participation, communication changes, emotion management, etc., have been considered. Four main sources of change have been determined, three of which are relatively independent of management actions, and the fourth is directly related to management actions: survival, evolutionary, revolutionary processes, and managed changes. In the process of cultural change, three main stages in the life of an organization have been emphasized: the foundation and early growth, development, maturity and decline, and the corresponding mechanisms and tools of organizational culture, which can be used for change. In particular, the following have been reviewed in detail: gradual change; changing organizational “therapy”; developing elements of mixed culture; selectively promoting subcultures; planning for project development and creating a structure for the organization; defrosting and changing through new technologies; changing by infusing personnel from outside the organization; defrosting conflicts and challenging myths; basic remodeling of the organization; change by compulsion.

The limitations that arise in the process of organizational culture transformation have been analysed. It has been concluded that regardless of which model will be adopted as the basis for the process of changing the organizational culture, the context in which the transformations take place should be taken into account. The enabling conditions, facilitating transformation and the reactive factors, that will resist it, should be understood and analysed by decision-makers.

The possibility of applying transdisciplinary system methodology in the process of developing plans for the innovative development of business entities has been considered. The use of a transdisciplinary systematic approach to innovation planning allows you to use new methodological planning tools, strengthen the systematic nature of planned activities, more clearly define their content and sequence.

Various variants of the classification of scientific approaches according to the criterion of the degree of completeness of cognition of the surrounding world have been analysed, the basic transdisciplinary methodological approaches according to the content criteria and possibilities have been compared, such as: the theory of autopoiesis, the theory of chaos and complexity, the theory of fractals, the theory of turbulence and the theory of economic genetics.

An important factor in the proposed methodology is the use of the evolutionary property of the development of organizational systems in combination with the possibility of revolutionary transformations at certain stages of development that determine the susceptibility of the organizational system to innovations. In the process of planning innovations, it is only possible to take into account these features of the development of organizational systems using a systemic transdisciplinary methodology.

In the process of research, a transdisciplinary tool such as multiplex has been proposed for use, allowing us to determine the duration of the “internal” periods of development of the organizational system and, consequently, increase the validity of planned measures for the implementation of innovations. The use of this tool in the planning process has allowed us to find an approach to determining the duration of the periods of the various stages of the innovation process, which can in future provide an opportunity to effectively distribute the resources of an economic entity over time. At the same time, special attention in the process of planning investments in the innovation process has been paid to the practice of venture and business angel financing, the positive performance of which has been proved by the example of the United States.

Strategic partnerships that were formed since the end of the last century, as effective business elements of integration of the economic world, are now the most promising form of business development. They allow us to overcome the negative aspects of forced growth and consolidation, leave partners room to choose the best solutions, focus on the future, and increase the stability of partner companies in providing resources and distributing products and services. Today, such partnerships have become an important tool of competition, opening up opportunities to enter new markets. According to the structure, a strategic partnership can combine numerous organizational forms, including joint ventures, license agreements, long-term contracts for the supply and purchase of products, j oint research and development programs, and mutual provision of implementation networks. Strategic partnership management is a very complex, specific activity and area of corporate management in which it is extremely important to maintain a balance between the interests of the alliance as a whole, the interests of the company and the interests of the partner company, taking into account the interests of shareholders, strategic investors and other interested parties.

Specific examples of strategic alliances, the dynamics of their development, and the reasons for their success or failure have been considered in the article. It has been demonstrated that a serious obstacle to effective corporate cooperation has mainly psychological than economic reasons. The concept of the psychological syndrome of strategic partnership has been proposed, its content and structure, including individual, organizational and cultural components, have been revealed. The ways to overcome this syndrome, including the creation and training of a strategic partnership team, have been briefly outlined. For a detailed description and evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed psychotechnology of organizational development, a separate article will be required, which we plan to present in one of the next issues.

The essence of television advertising has been considered and the main factors, that can affect the efficiency of advertising activities of companies, have been identified. During the study, the rating of TV companies operating in the Sughd region of the Republic of Tajikistan has been determined, indices of conformity of these channels to the target audience by sex and age categories have been found. Also, by the analysis of viewing time in the context of age and gender of TV viewers, the time of the best out of advertising on the air has been set, that is, the time interval when the maximum number of viewers gathers at their TV sets. For the study region, prime time is in the morning from 6:00 to 8:00, in the evening-from 18:00 to 22:30.

It has been established that the performance of TV advertising is influenced by the cost of one spot of advertising. Therefore, it has been evaluated and the rating of state and independent television channels by audience has been determined, and the technology for calculating advertising costs, which determine the effectiveness of advertising activities of companies, has been proposed.

Peculiarities of organization of effective advertising activity of companies of Sughd region of the Republic of Tajikistan on oligopolistic market of body and radio services have been revealed. A methodology for calculating indicators characterizing the main factors affecting the efficiency of advertising activities of companies in the Sughd region of the Republic of Tajikistan has been developed.

The results of the study can be used in the processes of planning and developing the broadcasting network of TV channels, as well as with success can be applied by players in the market to obtain the best effect of advertising on their products. In addition, the results of the study can be used for the purpose of state regulation of the oligopolistic market of TV and radio services in the Republic of Tajikistan.

The reasons for the increase in the cost of ensuring information security, in connection with the increase in the level of development of the digital economy have been revealed. One of the main reasons is the ever-increasing amount of information that needs to be stored and analysed. According to IDC forecasts, by 2025 the volume of data worldwide will increase by 10 times compared to 2017. The average costs of restoring companies ‘ activities related to cybercrimes have been given. The costs of information security are formed under the influence of many factors, the most important of which are cyber threats. The content of cyber threats on the example of industrial enterprises has been considered.

The number of cyber threats is constantly growing in the world, their complexity and diversity increase depending on the object of the attack, goals and objectives. The most common types of cyber attacks in the world has been considered in the article, the mechanism of their implementation, their source and the scale of damage they cause, have been described.

In connection with the transition to a digital economy, the number of cyber threats is constantly growing. In 2018, 4.3 billion computer impacts on critical infrastructure were identified in Russia (2.4 billion in 2017). Of these, more than 17 thousand are the most dangerous computer attacks. Bot networks of 30 thousand computers in 86 countries were used for these purposes. The average costs of medium-sized companies to eliminate the consequences of only one cyber incident in Russia are about 1.6 million rubles, and for large businesses - 16.1 million rubles.

The recommendations to companies to consider the cost of information security as a strategic investment, ensuring the continuity of their business processes, which create advantages in an era of rapidly developing cyber threats, have been substantiated in the article. For the purposes of selecting and analysing the sources of costs of companies to provide information security, it has been proposed to classify them into 9 categories. The results of the analysis will allow companies to determine the main directions of priority financing of measures to reduce the level of losses from information security incidents and to form reasonably information security budgets.

The issues of spatial changes in the context of measures to ensure the economic security of territories (regions, municipalities) have been considered. The key factors of spatial polarization, regional and intraregional socio-economic differentiation in the Russian Federation have been noted. The causes of sparseness and fragmentation of the economic space of the Russian Federation have been revealed. As shown by the study, the theory of spatial changes is only being formed as a separate direction of the spatial economy. A review of foreign and domestic literature in the field of spatial changes made it possible to identify their main characteristics, in particular, orientation towards sustainable development, transformation of cities and the formation of agglomerations, the development of the urban environment, spatial compression and expansion of territories, the formation of innovative opportunities for spatial changes.

A comparative analysis of the traditional and growth-oriented entrepreneurial policy allowed us to reveal the differences, disadvantages and advantages of the transition to a model of entrepreneurial economy in the regions. The comparison was carried out according to such parameters as: the key task, emphasis, the goal of entrepreneurial policy, forms of support, sources of financing, protection of intellectual property and personalization of business, institutional measures.

The expediency of applying the approaches of spatial changes and spatial innovation-entrepreneurial ecosystems to increase the competitiveness of territories and ensure economic security at the level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation has been empirically substantiated. The peculiarity of the innovation-entrepreneurial ecosystems approach is that it emphasizes the context of productive (resultant) entrepreneurship.

In conclusion, conclusions have been formulated, in particular, about the need for phased spatial changes (design and transformation stages), taking into account the peculiarities of the implementation of the spatial transformation mechanism at each stage.

The problem of developing the institute of presidency in the context of Russia’s revival has been considered in the article. The establishment of the presidency institute in 1991 marked the country’s transition to a democratic path of development. In the first decade, this task was carried out. In the content of Russia’s political reforms since the 2000s, it is possible to emphasize the solution of the problems of strengthening and developing the institute of presidency. The doctrine of the revival of Russia became the political basis for the development of the institution of the presidency. The second President of Russia, V. V. Putin became an indicator of this process. His commitment to the origins of Russian statehood helped create a goal-oriented team of strategic management. V. V. Putin's election as President of the Russian Federation for the fourth term was an expression of national trust. The presidency institute plays an important role in consolidating society. But the legitimacy of the President of the Russian Federation V. V. Putin was held in the context of the revival of Russia. The current President has contributed to the development of the presidency institute. In the system of state power, after adopting a series of measures, the institute of presidency was strengthened. Difficulties in the implementation of programs for the revival of Russia caused the use of neo-corporate and non-traditionalist management methods.

In connection with the verticalization of power and the postponement of solving communication problems, the stability of the “Institute of the President - Government Authorities and Management - Network Society” system is weakened, reinforcing the deformation risks. It becomes necessary for the government to work closely with civil society in solving urgent domestic policy issues.

The doctrine of the revival of Russia as a priority and the political basis for the development of the institute of presidency in the context of democratic legitimation retains a mobilization role in society.
