The aim of the study is to determine the factors of occurrence and reasons for growth of the energy crisis in the context of the transition to carbon and climate neutrality of European Union’s countries, People’s Republic of China. The energy problems that have arisen in the economy on the way to reducing the indicators of anthropogenic impact on climate change and provoked the energy crisis of the 2021 second half and is currently ongoing in the European Union countries and China were analysed. The main objective of the research is to study the mechanism of cross-border carbon regulation aimed at protecting European producers from environmental dumping and designed to reduce the risks of migration of carbon-intensive industries to countries with a less stringent climate policy. The relevance of the research topic is due to the need to identify steps to modernise the energy sector of the economies of countries that are just embarking on the path of carbon neutrality in order to prevent such energy crises. The results of the study can be used in the formation and adaptation of energy transition strategies for all states and subnational associations that have attempted to achieve carbon neutrality. When reviewing and correcting climate initiatives, a strategy to form a reserve of reliable and cost-effective basic generating capacities has been proposed.

The research aims to test the relationship between electronic service technology and job burnout among employees of the Commercial Bank of Syria, and to what extent modern technology contributes to reducing the negative manifestations of job burnout among workers in addition to the level of technology used in providing various banking services at the Commercial Bank of Syria. Testing the level of job burnout that bank employees are exposed to, and the study found an inverse relationship between electronic service technology and job burnout among workers. Therefore, modern technology contributed to alleviating the causes of this phenomenon by increasing flexibility in banking performance due to the ease of use of this technology and reducing errors committed by employees. It is shown, that the bank does not have the latest technology, which covers all banking services, so that all of them can be provided electronically. As for job burnout, it was noted that there was a low job burnout experienced by workers in the Commercial Bank of Syria, but there was suffering on the part of some workers in facing the problems they are exposed to, and the research concluded with a set of recommendations for the Commercial Bank of Syria in line with the results that were reached through research.

The article is devoted to the issues of the sustainable development of such a representative of the ecosystem as a special economic zone. The subject of the study is the organizational interactions that arise between resident companies, clusters within the technopolis and the management company. The conducted research is aimed at determining the criteria for the expediency of selecting participants in the ecosystem, identifying indicators for assessing the effectiveness of their joint functioning. The objectives of the study were to identify key trends in the formation of business ecosystems; to formulate the principles of managing the sustainability of the ecosystem, to determine the levels of sustainability and indicators for measuring it. The methodology of scientific research is based on the assessment of the digital maturity of business processes, the theory of interaction between organizations and the platform approach. Statistical processing methods of reports on management companies, grouping and rating the attractiveness of technoparks for investors were used during the study. The article formulates the principles of sustainability of the business ecosystem, defines the levels and indicators for their assessment. The results of the study are addressed to employees of management companies of special economic zones, heads of executive authorities responsible for the development of industrial policy. The development of research in the field of sustainable development of business ecosystems is related to the consideration of information security issues for agents of the digital economy.

The article substantiates the thesis that in personnel management it is necessary to distinguish between the object state and the object state indicators. The study of employee behavior from the standpoint of a system-transdisciplinary approach allowed us to conclude that any employee strives for stability and self-preservation. The condition for maintaining the stability and development of the employee is to achieve the indicators that the manager gives him. However, this doesn’t always change the object state. The main problem of personnel management is the development of a set of indicators, in which, working on indicators, employees would change the state of the organization in the right direction. The interpretation of economic relations as a system allows us to designate their basic element as a household. Then the objective function of economic relations is to meet the needs of all households. It is shown that the existing system of monetary indicators at the state level cannot provide an increase in the well-being of all households. The necessity of developing evaluation indicators of the activities of decision-makers and managers based on the designated system goal of the development of the national economy is justified. The problems of developing indicators and ways to solve them are also outlined.

In the context of the implementation of numerous innovative projects around the world, one of the urgent tasks of the modern theory of management accounting is the harmonisation of business processes within systems of various specialization (management, accounting, design and production) that form the organisational structure of the company and are at its various levels. The problem is the inconsistency of the activities of economic and design departments in the process of forming the concept of an innovative product, due to the lack of a model of the mechanism of their interaction at various stages of an innovative project. The article describes the initial stage of testing the hypothesis of the existence of an optimal model of management accounting and cost design systems (design department) interaction model at various stages of an innovation project. Within the framework of the study, a number of tasks were solved, in particular: the task of choosing the most effective research method from the list of methods used by the authors of similar scientific papers; the task of describing the mechanism of interaction of the considered intra-organisational systems in the context of the implementation of an innovative project; the task of establishing the identity of problematic issues arising from the interaction of the management accounting system and the design service at various enterprises. The purpose of the study is to test the hypothesis of the existence of an optimal model of management accounting and cost design systems interaction. Within the framework of the study with the participation of a representative group of three enterprises, the results characterising the current state of the management accounting and cost design systems were obtained. In practice, the enterprises under consideration face problems related to the management accounting and cost design systems interaction model, which are often accompanied by a low level of development of business processes and project management. As a result of the conducted research, indirect confirmation of the proposed hypothesis of the study was obtained.

The article analyses the problems of digitalisation, which has become dominant in recent years, which is justified by numerous data on scientific publications, the number of patents, the volume of investments and publications in various media. The article is based on the methodology of an integrated approach and system analysis. The theoretical basis of the article was the publications of Russian researchers devoted to the problems of the Russian economy҅s digitalisation. Familiarisation with regulatory documents and government programmes, methods of comparative analysis were chosen as research methods. The methods used also included the method of expert assessments, normative and logical methods. The analysis of methods, mechanisms, tools and other aspects of updating the track of digital transformation of the Russian economy is carried out. Based on and summarizing the results of the study, nine directions for the development of end-to-end technologies have been formulated and a block diagram of the model of the government programme «Digital Economy» is presented. Separately, the culture of organisations is considered, which is a barrier to the digital transformation of companies, which evolves into a «digital culture». In conclusion, a modern rating of end-to-end trends of the digitalisation process is presented, and global end-to-end trends of digitalisation in the sectoral context demonstrating the track of development of the digital matrix of the Russian economy. The presented information will allow to navigate in the established directions of development of end-to-end technologies of the Russian economy, and to make rational management decisions to representatives of Russian business and top management of Russian companies.

The term digital transformation has been widely discussed and extensively promoted both to and by companies in every industry to become overused. While generally accepted as a boon and often marketed as the only alternative to extinction for a firm, digital transformation remains a significant challenge for those assigned to implement it. We offer an alternative narrative digital transformation, which we argue is better described as going «more digital». The extent to which going more digital becomes transformative depends on the industry and the ability of a firm to change the business model and organizational skills, and corporate culture. We extend the discussion on why digital transformation is in most cases unrelated to business strategy and provide examples of when and how it may become part of a corporate strategy toolbox. A simplified model of a business as a network of processes and decisions helps illustrate why digital technologies first spread in the process domain but can become strategic and transformative when adopted to the decision domain. The latter also brings yet unquantifiable risks and uncertainties. We suggest future research to focus on the value created by going «most digital» in both process and decision domains and risks to companies and the economy.

The purpose of the article is to outline the changes that are taking place with the modern economic system. The article discusses some of the driving forces and circumstances of her deficient condition. The coronavirus pandemic is seen as a «collider», as an accelerator of the transition to a new model of the global economy. Its basic features are just being outlined, but a general conscious desire to streamline and automate many processes, to the reasonable digitalization of society, the state and business is already noticeable. The author points to the beginnings of transformation processes in the complex of productive forces and production relations, focuses special attention on those qualitative changes that were prompted by both the pandemic itself and the measures to combat it. These results appeared due to the use of the following methods: a) analysis of scientific reviews and articles devoted to the problems of diagnosing the need and readiness for automation of public, state and organizational processes; b) an expert survey conducted online during the «autumn quarantine» (2021), it was at this time that the problems of adapting to extreme changes, and the need for research and a practical look at the issues of intellectualization of transformational processes in society, state, and business, became significantly aggravated; c) content analysis of answers to open questions offered to respondents. The conclusions are drawn about the urgent need for the creation of useful technologies, their competent implementation in specific conditions and the formation of a benevolent regulatory environment. This is important not only from a theoretical point of view, but also for the practical preservation of the pace of digital transformation, sustainable economic development, and public good.

The article examines the situation with refugees during the civil war in Tajikistan after the collapse of the USSR. The factors and scale of refugees and features of asylum seekers from Tajikistan are considered. The scale and prospects for the development of the flow of refugees and asylum seekers from Tajikistan to Western and Eastern Europe are investigated. Every year, a huge number of people leave their homes due to armed conflicts, wars, poverty, and persecution on various grounds. One of the reasons for the refugees influx from Tajikistan to other countries is the civil war in the republic. After the collapse of the USSR, a power struggle between nationalists and Islamists began in Tajikistan that led to a civil war. The emergence of the refugees flow from Tajikistan to other countries is related with the civil war in the republic. Another reason is the ban by the Tajik authorities of two major opposition organisations – the Group of 24 and the Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan (IRPT). Among the Tajik political refugees who received asylum in European countries, there are also former migrant workers who worked in Russia. Deportations, decline in earnings after the 2015 currency crisis, and tightening of Russia’s migration policy towards migrants from Tajikistan forced some migrants to reorient themselves in other countries, primarily in European countries, the United States and Canada. There are cases of deliberate destruction of their passports by Tajik migrants when moving to Germany, followed by an appeal to the authorities under the guise of refugees from Afghanistan (since both Tajiks and Afghans speak Farsi (Dari)) to obtain refugee status and corresponding benefits in Germany. Among asylum seekers from Tajikistan in European countries, political asylum is the most popular. The purpose of the article is to identify trends and prospects for the development of asylum as a new emigration channel from Tajikistan to the countries of Western and Eastern Europe.
