The article considers the issues of increasing the level of economic diversification as an effective direction for achieving the strategy of sustainable development of the region. The paper carries out the analysis of the current state of the economy of the Sughd region of the Republic of Tajikistan, calculates the sectoral indicators of diversification and the average level of diversification of the regional economy. An assessment based on the existing methodology showed the need to continue the diversification process, but does not indicate which industries should be diversified first.

In order to identify priority sectors in carrying out diversification, a ranking matrix for economic sectors has been developed. The diversification coefficients and the structural coefficient were used as indicators in the matrix, which makes it possible to assess the existing level of diversification of the region’s industries and determine the priority sectors (trade, agriculture and industry), which have the necessary economic potential.

The article also considers the experience of successful countries that have reached a high level of economic development as a result of increasing the level of diversification, on the basis of which recommendations for the Sughd region of Tajikistan are substantiated in order to achieve sustainable regional economic growth. The research results can be used in the processes of developing a strategy for the development of the country’s regions and state regulation of spatial development.

The company’s connection is disclosed not only with the market (exchange sphere), but also with the market economy as a cohesive whole. It is justified that both structures become the engine of economic growth. The company management itself is represented not only inside of it, but also outside, as the continuation and generation of a functioning market, market system. This is the key aspect of economic development.

In conclusion, it is concluded that the management of an entrepreneurial company under conditions of change becomes the basic tool for the progress of business entities, turns into a specific rational channel for introducing combined modernization of the economy, and the search for ways to resolve the contradiction between them as part and whole, becomes the driving force of social progress.

The long-term sustainability and stability of the pension insurance system can be provided on the basis of a pay-as-you-go system, specifically the NDC variant, which can combine the main type of solidarity (between those who can and want to be gainfully active and those for whom the insured event has occurred) with income solidarity. When reforming the pension system in this manner the opportunity arises to begin gradual changes through fully merit system reform and therefore significantly motivating of extending the period of productivity (putting off retirement) through the upgrade of this system for persons who have reached the retirement age as specified by law.

This paper aims to substantiate and explore possible changes in this direction that will not endanger anyone’s entitlements when the reforms are implemented (they have got the form of Pareto improvement), as they derive their funds by extending the time of individual productivity. To this end, the possibility of introducing an extension on top of current system of pay-as-you-go insurance, which could be entered voluntarily by persons who have already reached or are near statutory retirement age, is proposed, and modeled. The extension would operate on the principle that the paid premiums will be transformed into a lifetime annuity. The system would be significantly motivating which for most people means extending life at the fullest, associated with the option to retain beneficial social contacts and gradually relax their gainful activity without experiencing an untoward decrease in income.

The article considers such forms of integration between enterprises as subcontracting and cooperation, designed to increase the industrial potential, activate the processes of restructuring industries and move them to a qualitatively new level. The purpose of the study is to identify the features and trends of the process of integration of enterprises through the mechanism of subcontracting and cooperation within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and to substantiate the prospects for its further development.

The paper describes the degree of development of national subcontracting markets in the countries that are part of the Eurasian Economic Union, and identifies the features of national systems for supporting cooperation and subcontracting processes. The authors carry out the analysis of the dynamics of cooperative supplies between the EAEU member states in the sectoral context, as well as the analysis of structural shifts in trade in intermediate goods in the context of the participating countries. The latter found a shift in the final links of the cooperative chains of product value formation in the EAEU space, which indicates the deepening of integration processes. The article considers the problems of information, financial and regulatory support for the development of subcontracting and cooperation. The paper determines the reasons that hinder the integration processes in the EAEU. The results of the study can be used in the development of an industrial strategy and integration policy in the Eurasian space.

The article reflects the main problems of the development and formation of human capital and its reassessment in the context of a pandemic COVID-2019. In the context of economic management during the pandemic, the demand for human capital has increased. The most demanded personnel, as time has shown, are the medical workers, as well as the workers who ensure biological safety.

The paper considers the application of typological analysis in economics and other sciences. The author considers and systematizes typologies of legalization of monetary funds by means of price manipulations – by indicating the underestimated or overstated customs value of goods in the accompanying documentation, as well as by performing pseudo-export operations. The study concludes that the money laundering schemes have typical features, and the typological analysis can increase the effectiveness of the efforts of state bodies in the fight against illegal operations. The article defines the specificity of the analysis of financial monitoring objects, which is due to the high latency of deviant subjects and their activities, the large volume and heterogeneous nature of the information requiring analysis and interpretation, high requirements for professional knowledge and practical experience of expert analysts, as well as significant time costs for the analysis of each individual subject.

The aim of the study is to analyse opportunities for career development of organizational personnel. The object of the study includes processes providing organizational career development. The subject of the research is interdependence between personal professional development of employees and organizational performance. The research methods are description and analysis.

The processes providing career progression can be divided into direct, actively encouraging employees to improve professional skills, and indirect, creating favourable work environment and commitment to achieving organizational relevant goals. Under the modern conditions of societal transformations, it is highly important to pay closer attention to interrelation between personal development and organizational aims since a customary vision of career as vertical climbing a corporate ladder is receding into the past. Opportunities for continuous training, entrepreneurial activity, and multiple vacancies are changing a vision of career as a finite process within an organization. An essential role in the system of personnel management should be played by employee career development planning which establishes connections between financial and nonfinancial incentives, on the one hand, and employee performance, on the other hand, – with respect to their personal interests, social characteristics and motivation level.

The author concludes that two opposite tendencies influence personnel management system functioning: change and conservation. The necessity for change is caused by transforming market and social conditions, employee personal growth, and organizational life cycle. The tendency for status quo conservation is dictated by the desire of any system for stability and sustainability.

The article is devoted to the study of the organization of the work of enterprises in the intercultural space. The authors consider the cross-cultural approach as a cross-cutting process that leads to significant changes within organizations and society and which manifests itself through interaction that functions as a generating element of the exchange of ideas and knowledge. Culture becomes the driving force of the processes taking place in international companies, where people interact freely, focusing on achieving common goals of their development, understanding their own characteristics and differences, which inevitably leads to high productivity of the organization and increased motivation of its partners.

The paper considers the management of the organization’s cross-cultural space in the context of three main elements: cross-culturality, competencies and interaction in the workplace. In the course of their activities, enterprises are faced with the peculiarities of the organization of work in an intercultural space, which, as a rule, consist in the mental differences of business representatives of different cultures. In the process of interaction, difficulties may arise due to the lack of a deep understanding of the ethnic characteristics of the partner, its history, culture, etc. In this regard, the authors recommend pay attention to the quality of the acquired cross-cultural competencies of the participants of the business dialogue. Organizations should invest in the cross-cultural knowledge of their employees to increase the efficiency and productivity of internationally organized businesses.

Modern organizations tend to view business processes as knowledge processes. The creation of knowledge includes its further expansion, development, improvement and application in the organization. Modern business organizations are looking for ways to create additional knowledge values through identifying, applying, and using them in a unique way, and this is a process that is part science, part art, and part pure luck. Effective management of the knowledge that people from different cultures bring, as well as the spaces in which they will interact, сontribute to strengthening the corporate image of the organization and its positioning in the international market.

The study is aimed at determining the level of electronic services provided in Syrian banks and identifying the level of their compliance with the trends of modern technological developments. The authors make the comparison of the Syrian banks with the best practices of using information technologies to provide their services by world banks that use the concept of electronic service.

The study showed, that despite the banking sector in Syria is striving to be modern and improve along with technological developments, there is a significant reduction in the use of electronic banking. Syrian banks are required to adhere to a sufficient number of material and technical requirements to implement the concept of a real electronic service. Among the priority tasks the authors highlight the expansion of the use of electronic money in the country, the network of ATM machines, bank cards. However, in order to reach the level of global banks, it is important to move to a digital omnichannel development strategy.

As an example of the implementation of ecosystem projects, the paper considers some of leading Russian companies that build their ecosystem around customers based on the principle of “Lifestyle Banking”. Based on Russian practice, the article presents a number of recommendations that will improve the electronic banking of Syria. This will allow the country not only to restore the banking system, but also give the opportunity to keep up with global technological advances, as well as compete with international banks.
