MANAGEMENT IN VARIOUS INDUSTRIES
In the context of the digitalization of the economy, the key driver for increasing the efficiency of the high-tech industry is the development of human resources. The purpose of the study is to determine the conceptual foundations of the personnel motivation system of high-tech enterprises in Iran. Based on the goal set, a number of tasks were solved. The components of the motivation system are described: subjects and objects of management, mechanisms and processes of management on the example of the Iranian company NOSA. The concept of “high technology” has been clarified, the criteria for a high-tech enterprise have been defined: a high share of companies’ costs for R&D (research and development work). The scientific novelty of the work lies in the construction of a conceptual scheme for motivating the personnel of high-tech enterprises. On the basis of empirical research, the needs of the employees of the Iranian company NOSA are determined. The presented tools: survey, questioning, testing, observation allow the head of the enterprise to determine the motives and needs of employees and, on their basis, develop or adjust the most effective system of personnel motivation in the enterprise. The object of the study is the personnel motivation system of the Iranian company NOSA. The subject is the organizational and economic aspects of motivating personnel in the high-tech sector in the context of the digitalization of the economy. The provisions outlined in the article make it possible to comprehensively present the conceptual foundations of personnel motivation systems, including those in high-tech industries.
Despite numerous trade disputes within the World Trade Organization (WTO) regarding the overestimation of the support level for agriculture by individual countries of the world, subsidizing farmers by their own governments not only does not decrease, but also tends to increase in general. In the conditions of the WTO member countries open markets, the world countries food security, including Russia, largely depends not only on the competitiveness of their own agriculture, but also on the support of their own agricultural sector commensurate with other states. Based on this, it is an urgent task to track the scale of state influence on the industry in other countries in order to avoid excessive competition of imported products. Thus, the purpose of the article is to study the dynamics of state support for agriculture in the countries of the world based on the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) data. The results of the work are detailed information on the comparative level of state support for the agro-industrial complex in the countries of the world, and the amount of support for the Russian agricultural industry corresponds to the world average. To process the information received in order to present the results of the work as accessible as possible, tabular and graphical methods are used.
The article presents a detailed analysis of the impact of policy on the transport system of the Russian Federation. The main directions of state policy related to transport are studied, considering both global trends and regional characteristics. The article pays special attention to safety issues, environmental aspects and meeting the needs of passengers and cargo carriers. The impact of political decisions on creating a safe transport environment, preventing accidents and reducing the number of victims is analyzed. Meeting the needs of passengers and freight carriers is considered an important aspect of transportation policy development and implementation. The article also discusses the main regulatory documents governing transportation infrastructure in Russia, including federal laws and government resolutions. These documents establish rules and requirements for the development and operation of transportation infrastructure, as well as regulate the activities of transportation companies and organizations. The paper also examines the impact of policy on the transportation infrastructure of two major cities in Russia, Moscow and St. Petersburg. These cities have complex transportation systems with high passenger and freight volumes. Based on the analysis, conclusions are formulated to assess the results of policy influence on the development of the transportation system in Russia. These include evaluating the effectiveness of policy interventions, meeting their objectives, identifying problems and making recommendations for improving transport policies. In conclusion, the authors emphasize the importance of developing and implementing sound transportation policies to create a modern, efficient, and sustainable transportation system in Russia that can meet contemporary challenges and societal needs.
MANAGEMENT IN ECONOMY: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS
The article is devoted to the analysis of foreign countries’ digital economy programs. The study considers Argentina, Brazil, India and Mexico cases. The authors assess the general state and level of digitalization of the economy of these countries and the national programs adopted for the digital economy development. Next, the article examines the first programs aimed at digitalization of the economy in foreign countries. The authors identify the main problems hindering the digitalization of the economy in Argentina, Brazil, India and Mexico, the characteristic features of each program and analyze the measures taken by states to improve their positions in the world in terms of the economy digitalization. As a result of the study, the authors found that the most successful from the economic development point of view are those countries where, firstly, the digitalization of the economy is supported by the current government, and, secondly, where the systems of institutions responsible for digitalization and communications between them are well developed. The article notes that common problems for states at present are the lack of a unified regulatory framework for the digitalization of the economy, as well as differences in regional development, which, of course, slows down the pace of progress in this direction.
The need to strengthen technological sovereignty and enhance the technological development of the country requires effective mechanisms for technology transfer, including from the defense sector to the civilian one. The purpose of the article is to propose a possible model for the organization of technology transfer from the military-industrial complex to the civilian sector of the economy. An analysis of statistical materials, current legislation and existing infrastructure showed that patent and technological activity in the country is declining; existing institutional support is insufficient to reverse this trend. One of the possible solutions to this issue is the organization of a technology transfer system, which will allow more active use of the capabilities of the defense industry for the development of civilian industries. The proposed model of such transfer is based on network interaction and coordination of all necessary functions within the technology transfer institution. The principles on which the model is based are substantiated: three levels of management; the possibility of state financing; a “single window” of technology transfer; information circulation; motivation of developers; personnel training system. The stages of technological transfer have been adjusted taking into account the specifics of the defense industry. The function of technological transfer for the transfer of information from industry to science is revealed, it is proposed to expand the use of the model in the direction of forecasting priority areas of science and technology development. From a theoretical point of view, technological transfer is defined as a mixed good, which justifies the role of the state in the presented model.
The author examines the influence of various factors of cross-country development on the effectiveness of monetary policy in conditions of price instability. The main problem (subject) of the article is to study the influence of the structural and institutional features of the country that influence the dominant causes and nature of inflation. The purpose of the study is to determine the factors influencing the effectiveness of anti-inflationary monetary policy models for various groups of countries. Content analysis, benchmarking, logical analysis, descriptive analysis method were used as research methods. The scientific novelty of the study lies in assessing the effectiveness of anti-inflationary monetary policy for various countries according to their classification groups and substantiating the factors that determine the effectiveness of model approaches to anti-inflationary monetary policy. A decrease in efficiency means that the effect of using a tool decreases as its use increases. As a result of the study, the most effective channels of the transmission mechanism for various groups of countries are substantiated, depending on their structural and institutional features. The results of the study include conclusions about the influence of individual structural and institutional features on the dominant factors of inflation. It is also shown how this dependence affects the features of the monetary policy of the considered groups of countries in terms of inflation.
The paper examines data on electricity consumption in the Russian regions for the period from 1990 to 2020. The main attention is paid to the dynamics of this indicator, including its calculation per capita. As a result of the analysis, parallels between the change in the socio-economic situation in the country, as well as the migration of the population in the regions and electricity consumption are established. One of the main findings of the study is that over the past decades, regional differentiation in electricity consumption has increased significantly, especially if we consider this indicator per capita. This indicates the growing socio-economic stratification of regions in Russia. To achieve the goals set, the work used such methods of processing statistical data as tabular and graphical analysis, as well as methods of general scientific knowledge, including analysis and synthesis. The results of the study can be used to assess the socio-economic development of the regions, as well as to draw up plans for the creation of a generating and electric grid infrastructure in the country. The results obtained are an important and relevant contribution to the study of the problems of electricity consumption in Russia and can be used for further research in this area.
The article notes the importance of increasing the production of grapes and wines in the Russian Federation; the historical aspect of the change in the areas of grape cultivation is considered; the analysis of the dynamics of changes in the acreage under grapes, its gross harvest and yields is presented. It is noted that with the positive dynamics of grape and wine production in the country, there are unrealized reserves for growth, in particular, increasing the yield of grapes in the Southern and North Caucasus federal districts and timely processing of grapes at primary winemaking enterprises. The possibility of increasing the growth of the competitiveness of Russian winemaking through the rejuvenation of old vineyards has been studied. It is noted that it is necessary to use the existing experience of advanced enterprises more fully and provide state support for the replacement of physically and mentally worn-out machines and equipment. The article also focuses on the formation of alcoholic beverages consumption culture at different levels of education, as well as in the family. The potential for the development of wine-making activities by Russian enterprises in related industries is shown, considering new trends in consumer behavior, in particular, focusing on a healthy lifestyle and replacing sugar in the diet.
The article shows that the processes of world development initiate changes in various areas of international cooperation both at the global and regional levels. This is also happening within the framework of regional economic integration cooperation. The author proves that the modern transformation of integration processes has an impact on the development of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). This process requires a comprehensive theoretical analysis and systematization. The purpose of the article is to analyze and evaluate integration processes in the EAEU. The scientific novelty of the article is the systematization of new phenomena and characteristics in regional economic integration in the world in the 21st century. The author also tries to formulate new tasks for the EAEU in building a progressive integration process. Another point of view, which the author substantiates in the article, is that the foundation for the development of integration in the EAEU should be taking into account ongoing global changes, previous experience of economic integration within the framework of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (Comecon) and the development of industrial cooperation between the EAEU countries and non-regional partners both in industry, and in agriculture, that means, in the real sectors of the economy. The author concludes that it is production cooperation in the real sectors of the economy in the EAEU that will ensure the necessary stability of both national economies and the progressive development of the integration process in the current conditions of the world economic process increased turbulence and the global system transformation. And since the EAEU faces such large-scale and vital tasks, then, according to the author, a reassessment and some redirection of integration efforts are required. It is on this basis that an adequate formation of new principles of financial cooperation in the EAEU is possible.
PROCESS MANAGEMENT
Digital technologies became the primary source of innovation in the private and public sectors. The Internet profoundly changed the way businesses are run catapulting “most digital” industries and companies to the top of the S&P500. Two innovations that drive digital transformation changing the nature of competition are cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Cloud-native business models and strategies proved successful in various industries, while AI is being tested in vivo by management mainstream. The publication provides an analysis of a multidimensional impact cloud computing makes on strategies and business models of companies. We show that what made cloud computing special in the management context was the way it morphed into strategies and business models best suited for the uncertain future. We also noted that as the focus of digital transformation shifts towards cloud-based AI powered decision-making solutions, managing the human aspect of “more digital” business models and related risks, recently referred to as an existential threat, becomes a priority of management research.
The article examines the impact of the currency crisis and the consequences of COVID-19 pandemic on labor migration from Tajikistan to Russia, the impact of new anti-Russian sanctions by the European Union and United States of America on Tajik labor migrants, as well as the repulsive factors of the reorientation of migrants from Tajikistan to a new direction of labor emigration to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries and the Persian Gulf. Russia is the main migration channel for labor migrants from Tajikistan. During the entire period of their stay in Russia they face various crisis phenomena in the country along with the local population. Each crisis in Russia has had a different negative impact on the situation of Tajik labor migrants. During the currency crisis in 2014–2015, Tajik migrants lost their income by twice due to the fall in the Russian ruble exchange rate. During the COVID-19 period, because of the introduction of a self-isolation regime in Russia, since the end of March 2020, the Russian labor market has been compressed, many Tajik labor migrants have lost their jobs. The new anti-Russian sanctions have already affected Tajikistan. Due to the European and the United States sanctions against Russia, the total flow of labor migration from Tajikistan to Russia has decreased. The aim of the article is to identify the attractive factors of the orientation of Tajik migrants to labor emigration to Russia and the repulsive factors of the reorientation of Tajik migrants to a new direction of labor emigration to the OECD and Persian Gulf countries.
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES
The purpose of the study is to search for guidelines for holistic marketing in solving the problems of high-tech development of the Russian economy. The article reveals the problems and opportunities of marketing for high-tech solutions in the Russian realities of the world economy geopolitical crisis period, sanctions pressure and the disruption of global innovation links. The results of statistical and expert evaluations of the Russian and foreign studies are analyzed. Approaches to the definition of high technologies are presented; their features as an object of marketing (complexity, high uncertainty of results), as well as demand and competition; high risks of investments of all types of resources. The innovativeness, ability to generate and commercialize high-tech innovations crossing the boundaries of industries, cultures and markets of the regions of the world, is defined as a necessary condition for sustainability, competitiveness of the economy and the potential for its development. The definition of high-tech marketing in the concept of holistic marketing is proposed. High level of human capital development in the Russian Federation is defined as a prerequisite for the use of creative solutions in marketing of high-tech innovations. The recommendations of marketing solutions for the deployment of the life cycle of a high-tech product for market segments of varying degrees of maturity are presented, the methods and models used in high-tech marketing are indicated. The importance of informing and educating a wide and professional audiences is emphasized. High technologies are proposed to be considered as part of innovative systems in the context of socio-economic institutions. It is noted that the holistic concept of high technology marketing as an element of national, technological and global innovation systems involves decisions at the institutional and infrastructural levels.
Intra-company and strategic planning consider the organization from different sides, combining the results obtained to compile a comprehensive strategy based on planned indicators, based on the capabilities of the enterprise and the assessment of external competitive advantages. In addition, intra-company and strategic planning helps industrial enterprises to make rational decisions and control risks in a volatile business environment. At the output, the company receives a single plan with priority areas of business development. The purpose of the work is to analyze the use of intra-company and strategic planning tools at industrial enterprises. In the conducted research general scientific methods were used: analysis, synthesis, grouping, generalization. Project and process management becomes a solution in the implementation of the investment block of the business strategy (a key tool). In PJSC “Quadra” it was proposed to introduce a projectprocess approach to management. The modified life cycle management system of the investment project (within the framework of the project-process approach) will avoid the following losses: in the form of RUB 250 thousand of the working time fund of the engineering staff of the branch. Rosatom State corporation considered a Scrum methodology, where social and economic effect from its application is 70% of successfully realized tasks, 20% – experience exchange between employees, 10% – training development.
THREATS AND CHALLENGES
The aim of this article is to study and justify the possibilities of using a product-service system in the field of alternative energy, as well as to develop business-models for introducing relevant innovative developments in the field of renewable energy sources to the world market. Thus, CO₂ emissions are reduced, and the demand for green energy is met. There are few studies in the literature linking the product-service system and renewable energy sources. The originality of this work lies in the correlation of these two concepts. The authors conducted a preliminary analysis of the energy market and developed three business models based on the product-service system applicable in the field of renewable energy: On-Grid, Off-Grid and Hybrid systems. The results of the study show that the proposed business-models are ideal in an environment where traditional electricity tariffs are high or there is no power grid, as well as when it is possible to be a prosumer (consumer and producer of electricity at the same time) at the legislative level. The favorable impact of the product-service system application to renewable energy sources on the environment is substantiated. Also, the purchase of renewable energy by consumers will not require an initial investment. These models consider the demographic, legal, and cultural characteristics of countries and communities. Companies operating with renewable energy can apply these business-models regardless of which country they operate in or what type of renewable energy they provide, which shows the importance of applying alternative business-models for the development of renewable energy.
The relevance of the problems considered in the article is associated with the growth of uncertainty and increased turbulence in the development of the world economy in recent years, as well as with the ambiguous impact of this instability on the economies of individual countries. These new trends have actualized the problems of economic policy, the analysis of which is the purpose of our study. These problems are connected both with the restoration of the previous growth rates and the choice of optimal instruments of fiscal and monetary policy, as well as counteracting the volatility of world prices and the instability inherent in commodity markets. One of the objectives of the study is to assess the approaches of individual countries in terms of their response to the crisis phenomena of recent years, to determine the main directions for counteracting the growth in the debt burden of countries, tools to curb inflation in the context of unprecedentedly tight financial conditions, as well as mechanisms for macroprudential regulation. As one of the results of the study, the author proves the growing differentiation of economic policies in the context of individual countries, limiting the sustainable recovery of the world economy, which is exacerbated by the ongoing instability of international trade and disruptions in global value chains. In addition, the author concluded that volatile world energy and food prices make traditional economic policies more uncertain and force countries to use alternative economic regulation tools, in particular, those related to changing the practice of applying policy rates to curb inflation, new approaches to the implementation of the tasks of the climate agenda and labor market policy.
