FEATURES OF FORMING ACCOUNTING AND MANAGEMENT REPORTING BY COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATIONS IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

O. A. Chirkova — 2025-12-10

Accounting and management reporting often overlap, but they are designed for different purposes and audiences. Accounting reporting is not just a requirement, but an important tool for successful management that allows companies to attract potential investors, new suppliers, and customers by providing transparent reporting, ensuring accountability to partners, investors, and government agencies. On the other hand, management reporting is essential for planning, forecasting, monitoring, and making strategic decisions based on the organization's goals. This article revealed the main stages of compiling accounting (financial) statements by commercial organizations, as well as the features of the technology of compiling accounting statements by organizations in accordance with the new FSBU 4/2023, which was adopted on January 1, 2025. The article also examines the principles of forming management reports, and proposes a system of management accounting and reporting at different stages of the organization's functioning. This system involves the formation of specific management reports at different stages of the company's operation, which will improve the effecience of management decision-making, and leading to an increase in the company profitability and the achievement of strategic development goals. The article analyzes the relationship between accounting and financial reporting in the organization's operations and demonstrates their non-interchangeability.

BRANDING FEATURES IN THE RUSSIAN CHEESE MARKET

N. M. Suray — 2025-12-10

With the rapid growth of digital technologies, the target audience is becoming more demanding of the quality and uniqueness of the brands offered. Companies need to find new ways to stand out from the comperirion. One of the key areas shaping modern branding strategies is digitalization and personalization of customer interaction. A successful brand creates a sustainable competitive advantage, which, in turn, contributes to increased profitability and improved market performance. At the moment, the level of branding in the domestic cheese market is relatively low, but it shows an upward trend. The Russian cheese assortment is based on semi–hard cheeses (42.4%), soft cheeses (21%), and Swiss cheeses (about 10.6%). In 2023, the Belarusian brand Brest-Litovsk became the leader in the Russian cheese market. The share of this brand in sales of all types of cheeses in the largest retail chains increased from 5.8% to 7% in monetary terms, which allowed it to displace the former leader, Hochland, whose share increased from 6.3% to 6.7%. In third place is the Lambert brand from PepsiCo, whose share in sales decreased from 5.1% to 4.6%. Provided that the average consumption growth rate remains at 3% per year, by 2030, cheese consumption in Russia may reach 9 kg per capita.

ECOLOGICAL-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT OF THE ARCTIC REGIONS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

L. N. Babkina — 2025-12-10

The article substantiates the need for the development of minerals in the Arctic Zone. It was noted that countries such as the United States of America, Canada, Denmark, and Norway have stepped up scientific research related to exploration, modernization, and upgrading of mining equipment in the Arctic. The People's Republic of China is also showing interest in the Arctic, primarily due to the need to monitor the Arctic climate, which will change in the future due to the melting of ice and will contribute to the extraction of minerals. In addition, the authors consider the dynamics of quantitative values of groups of indicators characterizing this type of economic activity in the territories of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, such as the volume of mining, the rate of change in mining volumes, the rate of change in price indices for goods of this type of activity, as well as the volume of mining adjusted for price indices. The analysis of the dynamics of these indicators is carried out for the period from 2010 to 2023: as a result, it allows us to calculate short-term forecasts of price-adjusted mining volumes in the territories of not only the regions of the Arctic Zone, but also in the territories of macro-regions, all regions of the Arctic Zone in aggregate and in the Russian Federation as a whole. Conclusions were drawn about the need for exploration and development of new deposits, primarily in the territory of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, based on the implementation of Russian, including joint projects, to develop natural resource reserves in the Arctic zone.

THE ESSENCE, CONCEPT, PRINCIPLES OF FORMATION OF LOCAL MARKETS FOR PRODUCTS OF A CROSS-BORDER REGION

T. V. Drugova — 2025-12-10

The article explores various interpretations of the concepts of "local market" and "cross-border region". We believe that events in local markets and territories are, in fact, a reflection and consequence of larger–scale economic processes taking place at the national, regional or regional level. We believe that the creation of an effective system of local markets, especially in developing regions, including cross–border ones, is a key factor for the growth of these territories. Such a system gives local organizations the opportunity to access target markets with stable solvent demand, contributing to their development and prosperity. Consistency in the formation of local markets in cross-border regions will avoid the autonomy and segmentation of the regional economy. The category of "local market" is actively explored to a greater extent by Russian scientists, who are making attempts in terms of structuring, typologization, orderliness, formalization of scientific research and the search for a scientific universal methodology associated with an objective justification of this economic process. Most of the provisions of the theory of the functioning of the local market, studied in the Russian literature, are often controversial. This paper describes the possible interaction of the border territories of the Altai Territory based on the formation of local markets with neighboring countries.

INTELLECTUALLY-ORIENTED FREELANCE: INTERNATIONAL TRENDS OF THE EARLY 21ST CENTURY

I. N. Dubina — 2025-12-10

This paper reviews contemporary foreign publications from 2000-2024, reflecting the nature of the changing relationship between freelancing and intellectual capital, as well as the transformation of freelancing into a new innovative entrepreneurial model within the digital economy. The results show that the potential synergy between freelancing and intellectual capital remains underdeveloped from an economic and practical points of view and has not been sufficiently studied in academic discourse, however, it is a distinct trend, especially after the covid-19 period. The authors examine the distinctive features and interrelationships of freelancing and intellectual capital, draw attention to foreign experience in using multifunctional freelance exchanges and propose a conceptual model of a multifunctional online platform for freelancing as a tool to support innovative economic development, and also draw attention to the role of freelance trade unions. This work contributes to the development of entrepreneurship and the gig-economy, by considering freelancing as a dynamic phenomenon that significantly impact on future business models and labor market policies.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF DISTRIBUTION MODELS FOR METAL PRODUCTS IN THE USA, THE EUROPEAN UNION, AND RUSSIA

K. O. Kislykh — 2025-12-10

This article presents a comparative analysis of distribution models for metal products in the United States, the European Union, and Russia. The study’s relevance stems from the metallurgical industry’s pivotal role in supporting strategically important economic sectors, as well as from the differing economic, regulatory, and geopolitical conditions that give rise to distinct distribution systems in each of the three regions. The aim is to conduct an in-depth comparative examination of the structural and functional characteristics of metal-products distribution across these economic systems. To that end, the key market participants and their interrelationships have been systematically mapped, and a side-by-side comparison performed using standardized parameters—logistics infrastructure, the role of distributors, inventory management practices, level of digitalization, and the impact of regulatory frameworks. The novelty of this work lies in its integrated approach, which combines comparative analysis with content analysis of digital-platform case studies and a review of relevant regulatory acts. This methodology affords deeper insight into how variations in market structure, legal frameworks, and technological maturity create unique competitive advantages within each distribution model. The findings will benefit metallurgical companies, logistics operators, supply-chain management researchers, and practitioners.

INFRASTRUCTURE OF AUTOMOBILE TOURISM IN THE REPUBLIC OF BASHKORTOSTAN

E. R. Mamleeva — 2025-12-10

The Republic of Bashkortostan has significant potential for the development of automobile tourism due to its picturesque nature, rich cultural and historical heritage, developed network of roads and growing demand for domestic tourism. However, for the development of this direction of tourism it is necessary to develop the accompanying infrastructure. The article considers the current state of the infrastructure of automobile tourism in the Republic of Bashkortostan, including the road network, roadside service facilities, navigation systems, cellular coverage, collective accommodation facilities. The key problems hindering the development of automobile tourism are identified, such as uneven distribution of roadside service facilities and collective accommodation facilities on the territory of the republic; insufficient number of places for recreation in remote areas, "blank spots" in the coverage area. Based on the conducted research, recommendations are proposed for optimizing the automobile infrastructure in the Republic of Bashkortostan.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL STATRMENTS IN RUSSIA, CHINA, AND INDIA: REFLECTION OF INVENTORY

T. M. Mezentseva — 2025-12-10

Modern geo-economic transformations actualize the need for a deep understanding of the national characteristics of financial reporting in the context of expanding interstate cooperation between Russia, China and India. The study is aimed at identifying convergent trends and divergent characteristics in methodological approaches to the formation of accounting documents, which is of critical importance in the context of the intensification of trade and investment flows between these jurisdictions. The processes of the evolutionary development of the accounting systems of the three states are analyzed in the context of the global imperatives of standardization of financial reporting. Special attention is focused on mechanisms for adapting national regulatory norms to the requirements of international standards while preserving unique elements determined by historical traditions and institutional features of each economic system. The comparative study demonstrates both the processes of unification of reporting forms and persistent differences in conceptual approaches to the recognition, measurement and disclosure of business transactions. The results of the analysis can serve as a conceptual basis for developing practical recommendations for optimizing cross-country financial cooperation and increasing transparency of corporate information for international stakeholders. The revealed patterns make it possible to predict the directions of further development of national accounting systems in the context of globalization processes and regional economic integration. Special attention is paid to the analysis of methodological discrepancies in the reflection of inventories, which are a critical component of working capital in industrialized economies.

PRICE IMPROVEMENT USING FACIAL RECOGNITION SYSTEM

Абделуахаб Муссай — 2025-12-10

This study aims to explore how pricing can be optimized using artificial intelligence techniques, including machine learning and deep learning.

Traditional methods of setting price for goods and services are some of the main methods that organizations have relied on for long time. The most notably method is cost-based pricing, where the price is calculated by adding direct and indirect costs and adding a specific profit margin that ensures sufficient returns for the organization. Competition-based pricing is also used, where the price is determined based on market and competitor prices without placing significant emphasis on actual costs. This is appropriate in markets characterized by product convergence and multiple competitors. Another traditional method is perceived value-based pricing, which relies on the customer's assessment of the value of a product or service. Psychological pricing is used, where product pricing is based on methods that influence consumer perceptions. Traditional methods also include promotional pricing, which is used for temporary offers to stimulate demand, especially during recessions or when launching new products. Geographic pricing, which takes into account differences in costs, taxes, and market conditions across different geographic regions, allowing for flexibility in distribution and marketing. Although these methods were effective in previous periods, technological and behavioral developments is driving many organizations to adopt more sophisticated pricing methods that respond to changing market conditions.

Facial expression recognition plays an important role in several fields, among them optimizing the prices of goods and services. Facial recognition systems generally consist of three main stages: preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification.

Preprocessing is a vital step in improving face recognition performance. It involves enhancing image quality through operations like clarity adjustment, scaling, and noise removal. This step also eliminates irrelevant details (e.g., ears) and prepares the image for accurate recognition by applying techniques such as alignment, normalization, binarization, and standardization.

Feature extraction focuses on extracting key facial features — like the eyes, nose, and mouth—and their geometric arrangement to classify expressions. Each face has a distinct structure that enables recognition. Techniques such as eigenfaces and scale-invariant feature transform are used for accurate feature extraction. Facial emotions are conveyed through the activation of specific muscle groups, revealing complex information about a person’s mental state. Machine learning and deep learning techniques are used to recognize and classify these expressions by training models on labeled facial images.

The goal of price optimization is to find the best pricing strategy that leads to setting the appropriate price, maximizing profit, and meeting customer needs. This can be achieved by relying on customer behavior through facial expressions, as the face is a key feature in expressing emotions. By analyzing customer facial expressions relative to the prices of goods and services offered in retail stores (supermarkets), the store owners understand better the customer reactions to prices.

The results of analyzing customer facial expressions, both positive and negative (such as happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear, and disgust), provide store owners with accurate insights into customers' emotional feelings as they interact with products or services. These analysis enable store owners to precisely meet customer needs, design personalized offers and services, and enhance the shopping experience. This, in turn, leads to increased sales, builds trust between the store and customers, enhances customer loyalty and satisfaction, and increases profits. It also enables store owners to make accurate decisions based on available data, creating a competitive advantage in a market characterized by constantly changing customer tastes.

A SYSTEMIC APPROACH TO RISK MANAGEMENT IN THE PROCESS OF SCALING UP PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES

S. S. Perminov — 2025-12-10

The issue of risk management during the scaling of production activities remains insufficiently structured: as enterprises expand, risks are often assessed in isolation, without regard to their systemic interdependencies. This results in managerial and operational distortions, particularly during phases of rapid growth. The aim of this article is to examine current conceptualizations of a systemic approach within this context and to formulate the author’s original recommendations for its practical implementation. The relevance of the topic stems from the urgent need to rethink risk management tools in an era marked by technological complexity and the multilayered interdependence of internal and external factors. Contradictions identified in the literature primarily relate to the tendency to oversimplify management actions into linear models that disregard nonlinear effects, as well as to the underestimation of the organizational environment and the strategic architecture of economic actors. The article concludes that only a systemic approach makes it possible to construct an integrated risk management framework in which risks are viewed as properties of the entire production system, rather than as a mere sum of isolated threats. The findings will be of interest to company executives, corporate strategy developers, and project management professionals.

GENERAL ASPECTS OF INTERREGIONAL CAPITAL MOVEMENT

E. N. Sabyna — 2025-12-10

This article explores one of the most understudied forms of interregional economic relations, both theoretically and conceptually: capital movement. Russia's economic space is highly sparse, characterized by extreme unevenness in regional development. The movement of capital between regions facilitates their convergence and economic growth. The aim was to present financial flows between regions in a general yet systematic manner. Various forms of capital movement are characterized: the movement of private and official capital, entrepreneurial capital, and loans. Investment movement, specifically foreign direct investment, the concentration of banking capital, and the movement of official capital in the form of grants, subsidies, and subventions are considered as specific forms of capital movement.

Overall, the conclusion is that a holistic understanding of interregional capital movement as one of the most important forms of interregional economic relations has not yet been developed. Given the importance of capital movement as one of the most important forms, it is one of the most promising areas of study for the spatial integration of Russian regions.

THE BASIS FOR THE FORMATION OF RELEVANT INFORMATION ON THE ACTIVITIES OF SMALL BUSINESSES AT THE NATIONAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL

I. N. Sannikova — 2025-12-10

The article reveals the features of assessing the performance of small enterprises to determine the possibilities of their sustainable development and providing support at the regional level.

The purpose of the study is to determine a key set of financial indicators based on simplified accounting reports and to expand the scope of explanations for the reports to form relevant information on the activities of small enterprises, which is necessary to understand the trends in the development of small businesses.

The research methodology is based on logical and epistemological tools using general scientific methods of comparison. The study is conducted in a movement from the general to the particular, and from the particular to the general. As a general deductive principle, the significance of small business activities for the national and regional economy is considered, and as a particular principle, the requirements for the formation of small business information are considered.

The structure of employees in small enterprises in Russia as a whole corresponds to the general structure of employment in significant aspects, which allows us to conclude that relevant information for small and medium-sized enterprises regarding the assessment of employment, the labor market, and the social component of ESG assessments should correspond to general economic practices and trends. Making up about a quarter of Russia's economy, small and medium-sized enterprises should be fully characterized by financial and non-financial performance indicators, without which it is impossible to assess the current state of the economy and predict the country's socio-economic development. Regional databases on the state of small enterprises must have specific characteristics related to the structure of the regional economy. The necessary information should be generated on a systematic basis as part of the reporting of small enterprises.

DESIGNING A RISK IDENTIFICATION MODEL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY USING THE PEST ANALYSIS METHOD

M. N. Semikolenova — 2025-12-10

The construction industry is subject to a large number of risks caused by a situation of uncertainty and related to a variety of factors: the complexity and uniqueness of construction projects, the involvement of several contracting parties, significant capital investments, the duration of the production cycle, and environmental influences. Emerging corporate risks have an impact not only on the efficiency of the construction company, but also on the stability and productivity of the production activities of customers, organizations of related industries and the economy of the region of presence as a whole.

Risk management of a construction project is a complex, multi-stage and complex process of identifying and assessing internal and external risks of production activities. This study is devoted to the first and most important stage of the risk management system in the construction industry: the identification and identification of external risks in the construction industry. The purpose of the article is to identify and assess the key risks of organizations in the construction industry of the Altai Territory associated with the influence of external factors and aimed at creating a mechanism for their mitigation. The use of the PEST analysis method to assess the main parameters of external risks makes it possible to increase the objectivity of the analysis and generate the necessary relevant information for forecasting the cost, quality and timing of a construction project. The proposed model for identifying external risks in the construction sector includes sequential and interrelated stages: identification of environmental factors; analysis of key risk factors in terms of the likelihood and materiality of the impact on the main parameters of the construction project; identification of risks of construction production; development of a control and monitoring system in the context of risk types and taking into account the specifics of the construction site. The approbation of the PEST analysis methodology in the construction industry of the Altai Territory allowed us to identify the key risks associated with the influence of external factors: political, economic, social and technological.

ECONOMIC COOPERATION BETWEEN THE ALTAI TERRITORY AND THE KEMEROVO REGION: COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT

A. Ya. Trotskovsky — 2025-12-10

Using the example of interactions between the Altai Territory and the Kemerovo Region, the article reveals the state and partly trends in the formation of a single integration space of the regions of the Siberian Federal District in the field of economics.

Its relevance is due to the relatively little study of interregional interactions, especially in terms of interregional capital flows and, in general, comprehensive empirical research covering key areas and results of interregional interactions in the field of economics.

Due to the lack of systematic information (this is only one of the key reasons), the research results presented in the article do not pretend to characterize the interregional interactions between the region and the region in all their completeness and diversity. They are often valid only in relation to individual parties and a local fragment of inter-regional relationships.

The article reflects the key directions of interregional integration in the commodity, labor and capital markets. Along with this, certain aspects of the dependence of the intensity of interregional interactions between the Altai Territory and the Kemerovo Region on the state of the transport network are disclosed.

The article concludes with brief conclusions based on the results of the work carried out, revealing the picture of interregional integration of the Altai Territory and Kuzbass in these aspects of interaction. Among them are:

The interaction of the regions under consideration in the commodity markets is stable and long-term, due to the complementarity of regional economies. Mutual supplies of basic products are of critical importance for the regions;
Interregional migration of capital is characterized by its movement in both directions. The expansion of Kuzbass capital into the Altai Territory is more pronounced;
In the process of interactions in the field of population exchange, the dominant flow is the movement of the population of the Altai Territory to the Kemerovo region.

LEADERSHIP IN OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY: SYSTEMATIZATION OF CONCEPTS AND KEY QUALITIES

О. V. Usikova — 2025-12-10

The article presents a study of key aspects of leadership in the field of occupational health and safety, exploring the concepts of "leadership in occupational health and safety" and "a leader in occupational health and safety," while identifying the essential qualities of an effective leader. The authors analyzed regulatory documents, corporate policies, academic literature, and practical experience, confirming the absence of a unified understanding of leadership in this domain. Based on a comprehensive review of materials, the authors propose their own definitions: leadership in occupational health and safety is defined as the ability to inspire a team to adhere to safety requirements, whereas a leader in occupational health and safety is an employee whose actions and decisions demonstrate a commitment to occupational safety principles. Furthermore, the qualities of a leader are categorized into four groups: visible behavior, soft skills, professional expertise, and demonstrated values. Special emphasis is placed on the leader’s role in shaping a safety culture, including the implementation of the Vision Zero strategy, proactive mitigation of systemic risks, and fostering employee engagement through trust and open dialogue. The study is relevant for managers, occupational health and safety professionals, and other stakeholders interested in advancing workplace safety culture.

HENRY FORD'S MANAGEMENT STYLE AND HIS "SUCCESSORS" IN MODERN TIMES

A. Z. Huseynzada — 2025-12-09

In light of the rapid development of modern business, it is important to consider the long-term legacy of the managerial reforms implemented by Henry Ford at the beginning of the 20th century. These reforms not only altered the industrial landscape but also exerted a profound influence on contemporary management and leadership practices. The article analyzes the innovations H. Ford introduced in management, focusing on their long-term impact. Specifically, it examines his leadership vision, which is centered on principles of efficiency, employee welfare, and continuous innovation. Despite being formulated almost a century ago, these principles remain relevant for 21st-century leaders, reflecting the importance of considering the human factor and striving for continuous improvement. The article also draws attention to the negative aspects of Ford's approach that continue to provoke discussions in the modern era. These aspects include his authoritarian management style, disregard for individual employee needs, and challenges in social responsibility. Negative characteristics of H. Ford serve as a reminder of the importance of striking a balance between productivity and humane management aspects in today's world. Thus, the article comprehensively reveals the influence of Henry Ford's management and leadership innovations on modern business, delineating both their positive and negative aspects, which still influence our organizations and society as a whole.

STRUCTURAL SHIFTS IN THE EXPORT OF PRODUCTS FROM THE REGIONAL AGRO-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

S. P. Vorobyov — 2025-12-09

The purpose of the article is to identify the main trends in changes in the volume and structure of exports of agricultural products of the Altai Territory in modern conditions. The article determines the comparison of the structure of exports of the region with the average values for Russia, identified significant differences, which determines the income of the main participants in export activities. The main reasons for changes in grain and oilseed exports, which accounted for 39.88-51.72% of the Altai Territory agricultural exports in value terms in 2020-2024, were identified as follows: price conditions in agricultural markets, profitability of production, government regulation of raw material exports, demand from importing countries, sanctions restrictions in global trade, logistics costs, and the exchange rate of the national currency. The article assesses the impact of quantitative, structural, and qualitative factors on changes in grain and oilseed export revenues in the Altai Territory. It is noted that the impact of these factors varies over time, both in terms of direction (positive or negative) and significance.

CONCEPTUAL APPROACHES TO DEFINITION THE CONCEPT OF “INNOVATIVE POTENTIAL OF REGION”

N. N. Atamanov — 2025-09-15

The author conducts a comprehensive analysis of conceptual approaches to the interpretation of the concept of innovative potential of the region. The main goal of this research is to systematize and integrate the understanding of innovation potential from the point of view of theory as a key element of regional development. As a result of the study, four approaches to the interpretating of innovative potential were identified including: resource, process, result and systemic. In order to fully understand each of them, not only their features were analyzed, but also the advantages and limitations of each of them. The result of the work was the creation of an integrated approach to understanding the essence of the innovative potential of the region through a thorough systematic analysis of various theories, on the basis of which it is possible to develop more effective strategies for managing the innovative development of territories. The practical significance of these results lies in the possibility of their use in the activities government bodies when developing relevant programs.

VALUATION OF RESOURCES: INDUSTRY SPECIFIC ASPECT (BASED ON MATERIAL FROM FOREST INDUSTRY ENTERPRISES ALTAI REGION)

A. A. Bakhireva — 2025-09-15

The article proposes a variant improving a rather developed area of economic analysis, namely, the methodology for assessing the provision reserves with regard to the industry specifics a timber processing enterprise. The need to develop this area, first of all, is due to the presence of the traditional problem providing the rhythmicity of raw material flow at the enterprises the industry under consideration. High interest rate and exhaustion accumulated growth factors, difficulties in international payments, limitation of state support, increased fiscal burden and other factors destabilize the industry and reduce the reliability a planning. We also take into account the shift of inventory management criteria to their constant availability. The authors justified the use of the indicator “raw material safety threshold” to calculate the target final balance the raw material stocks. The feature the new indicator is the accounting of the break-even value adjusted by the coefficient reflecting the useful output the products from raw materials. The economic meaning the new indicator is that its value characterizes the cost of raw materials in order to ensure the level the break-even sales volume. Calculated in dynamics, the threshold of raw material security allows to estimate the so-called «raw material load» the enterprise: the higher the level of this indicator, the higher the load on the system planning and material support. The presented methodology for analyzing the provision of materials, taking into account the specifics of the processing industry, will increase the reliability of material supply planning, but also provide conditions for growth and a sufficient level of confidence of all economic entities united in cooperation clusters of the timber industry complex.

INDICATORS OF SATISFACTION WITH THE QUALITY OF NEW APARTMENTS: MOTIVES, INDICATORS, PROBLEMS

L. Kh. Gabidullina — 2025-09-15

The standard of living of a person is largely determined by the availability of housing, its quality and the living environment. Families in the Russian Federation have the opportunity to improve their living conditions in various ways (building their own homes, purchasing secondary real estate, buying housing during the construction phase, purchasing a new apartment, renting). Among all forms of housing improvement, new residential complexes are of particular interest, which attract with their modern infrastructure, modern design, cleanliness, and landscaping. However, it is not only supply that determines demand, but also the satisfaction of new settlers that shapes the attitude and their future interest in new housing from a well-established developer. This article presents the results of a survey of the satisfaction of residents of a new residential complex with a purchased apartment. The study was a quantitative analysis, the survey tool was a questionnaire. Analysis of consumer satisfaction with an apartment in a new residential complex is an urgent issue in a highly competitive market, due to the peculiarities of the residential real estate market, which is characterized by differentiated prices, their fluctuations, differentiated supply, and a variety of bank mortgage programs depending on the conditions of the developer and the client's capabilities.

BALANCED DEVELOPMENT OF THE REGION: METHODOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION (USING THE EXAMPLE OF THE ALTAI TERRITORY)

A. P. Devyataykin — 2025-09-15

The article considers the problem of balanced development of regions using the example of Altai Krai. As a result of on the analysis of scientific literature, the main approaches to determining balanced regional socioeconomic development are identified. A methodology for assessing the level of balance based on a system of indicators that include economic, social and environmental indicators was developed. To assess the balance of regional development, key indices were calculated, such as: economic development index, social development index and environmental development index. It is proposed to calculate the balance of regional development based on use of the corresponding integral indicator. In addition, the criteria for interpreting this indicator for further assessment are identified. Based on the proposed methodology, an assessment of the balance of regional development of Altai Krai was made, disproportions were identified, and the main recommendations for adjusting regional policy to achieve a highly balanced development of Altai Krai were identified.

ANALYSIS OF COMPETITIVENESS AND STRUCTURAL CHANGES IN THE ECONOMY OF THE REGIONS OF THE SIBERIAN FEDERAL DISTRICT

D. A. Dotsenko — 2025-09-15

The article analyzes the structure of the economy and sectoral growth of the regions of the Siberian Federal District in 2022-2023 using the method of competitiveness analysis and structural shifts (the Shift Share Analys method). This method is well-developed in the scientific literature, and there are more modifications available. One of the classical versions is used to analyze the economy of the regions of the Siberian Federal District. The article proposes an addition for this version of the method that takes into account the sectoral structure of the region's economy in the current period. It was revealed that the application of this supplement leads to changes in the interpretation of the obtained values. In the original version of the method, the obtained effects (MIX-effect and DIF-effect) were compared with zero (as the average border value for the country), but with the addition of the supplement, the border value for the MIX-effect will be different from zero. As a result of the analysis, it was found that most of the district's economies are represented by sectors that are successful in their development at the national level. However, there are issues with sectoral competitiveness in the district's regions. A feature of the sectoral structure of a number of the district's regions in 2022-2023 is the presence of a significant share of sectors experiencing a decline, which led to a decline in the overall regional competitiveness. Some of the most significant sectors in the economies of the regions under consideration experienced a decline: agriculture in the Altai Territory, mining in the Irkutsk Region, Krasnoyarsk Territory, the Republic of Khakassia, and the Tomsk Region.

ON THE IMPORTANCE OF MEMORIAL AND MONUMENTAL OBJECTS IN THE FORMATION OF THE IMAGE OF THE TERRITORY AND IN THE PRESERVATION OF HISTORICAL MEMORY OF MILITARY EVENTS (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE ALTAI REGION AND THE CITY OF BARNAUL)

S. V. Krasnov — 2025-09-15

University (Barnaul, Russia)

The authors' study of territorial management issues, the formation of their image, and the specifics of regional and municipal policies over a number of years using methods of analyzing archival and legal acts and documents, historical and modern information materials, expert opinions, local history and reference literature contributed to a deeper immersion in the topic. Involvement in the process of state and municipal governance, participation in scientific and practical events made it possible to correlate subjective authorial opinions with objective scientific views on a number of nuances of the area under study. From the authors' point of view, insufficient attention is paid by researchers to such objects of territorial infrastructure as memorials, monuments, and military history monuments, despite the fact that they can be an integral part of the image of a city, region, or the entire country. Significant events of 2025, declared the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland by the President of Russia, and the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory emphasize the relevance and timeliness of considering the stated topic using materials from the Altai region and its capital is the city of Barnaul.

LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT MARKET IN THE TOURISM INDUSTRY: FORMATION AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS (ANALYTICAL REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH)

T. V. Lee — 2025-09-15

This article presents a review of research in the field of labour and employment within the tourism industry, emphasizing the significance and scale of employment opportunities supported by tourism worldwide, a fact brought into sharp focus during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic revealed the vulnerability of tourism workers and accelerated the search for alternative employment options, while simultaneously exacerbating the historical labour shortage in the industry following the recovery of demand. Despite its crucial role, work in tourism remains an under-researched area. The article uses the concept of “maturation” to describe the development of tourism labour studies, examining the path taken and identifying future directions. The review covers a 50-year period, drawing on previous works by Ladkin (2011) and Baum et al. (2016), and analyzes systematic reviews of research from 2005-2023. Five thematic areas of research are highlighted: management, human capital, economic value, labour mobility, and gender, along with a multi-level model (macro, meso, micro) for structuring research. The necessity of a multi-disciplinary approach and critical analysis is emphasized to overcome fragmentation and deepen the understanding of labour issues in tourism. In conclusion, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism labour market and the need to adapt research to new realities are noted, highlighting the importance of studying the changing “work landscape” in tourism and utilizing accumulated experience for the further development of research in this field.

STUDY OF THE ACCOUNTING MECHANISM FOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO STATE OFF-BUDGET FUNDS AND PERSONAL INCOME TAX (PIT)

T. M. Mezenceva — 2025-09-15

The article is devoted to reforming issues related to the legislation on personal income tax and contributions to state non-budgetary funds. These issues are the most pressing for Russian business and are most often subject to changes. Both personal income tax and contributions to state non-budgetary funds have a single taxable base: the accrued payroll of an employee of the organization. Personal income tax is one of the most collected and controlled taxes. It is this tax that allows to show the civil responsibility of each working citizen to our country. Contributions to state extra-budgetary funds, carried out by the employer, increase his responsibility to the employee, whose labor is used, in terms of social security of the working people.

The results of study of the accounting mechanism of deductions to state non-budgetary funds and personal income tax and gives recommendations for its improvement. The changes in the tax legislation on accrual and payment of insurance contributions for the enterprises included in the list of enterprises with preferential tariffs are analyzed. The changes of legislation for personal income tax in 2025 are determined, the comparison of innovations with the current legislation is carried out. Recommendations for the implementation of innovations in the accounting of a production enterprise are offered.

ON MANAGING THE BUSINESS CAREER OF ADULT STUDENTS RECEIVING SECONDARY VOCATIONAL EDUCATION IN THE FIELD OF PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORTS

I. I. Samsonov — 2025-09-15

In the context of rapid economic development, qualified personnel provision is of decisive importance in achieving planned national goals and strategic objectives. The physical education and sports sector is not left without attention. In the context of personnel shortages and the need to introduce practice-oriented training, the state, having initially established strict requirements for admission to work only for qualified citizens in all types of professional activity, began to introduce an optional option for admission to work for students, starting with teaching staff. Thus, options for employment of students receiving higher education were established at the legislative level.

However, for adult students receiving pedagogical secondary vocational education, the legislator has established optional options for hiring, but only for the implementation of educational programs of preschool and primary general education. Considering this decision to be insufficiently substantiated, the authors propose to

review the established approaches to the admission of adult students mastering secondary vocational education programs in the field of physical education and sports, adjusting the optional option by supplementing it with educational programs of basic and secondary general education, as well as additional general educational programs.

THE MECHANISM OF LABOR MARKET REGULATION IN THE REGION

I. L. Sennikova — 2025-09-15

The development of the regional labor market and employment sphere is of great importance in improving the quality of life and welfare growth. Ensures the availability of qualified personnel with experience and knowledge in these spheres. Historically, the Kirov Oblast demonstrates a relatively stable level of employment of the population, which indicates the stability of the labor market. Active development of small and medium-sized businesses contributes to the creation of new jobs and diversification of the labor market. Attracting investments to the region will allow to create new enterprises and increase the demand for labor resources. The development of cooperation with other subjects of the Russian Federation will allow sharing experience, attracting investment and labor resources. The enterprises of these industries are the “growth points” of the region, provide the inflow of qualified personnel, contribute to the renewal of the labor market, allow to exchange experience with other regions of the country. Consideration of the dynamics of the Kirov Oblast regional labor market development in the context of the regions of the Volga Federal District allowed us to conduct a comparative analysis, identify key challenges and define new opportunities in the field of employment.

RENEWABLE ENERGY AS A MECHANISM FOR THE TRANSITION TO GREEN TRADE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

Sakina Hamlaoui — 2025-09-15

This study employs a descriptive and analytical methodology to investigate the European Union's strategy for incorporating renewable energy as a pivotal catalyst for green commerce. The European Green Deal positions the EU as a global leader in the adoption of renewable energy technology for the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy. The report emphasizes the crucial importance of renewable energy, such as solar, wind, hydropower, and biomass — in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and fostering economic growth via green trade. EU initiatives, like the Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), have markedly expedited the transition to sustainable energy, bolstering the EU's pledge for climate neutrality by 2050. Renewable energy technologies boost energy security and stimulate green commerce by facilitating the flow of ecologically sustainable goods and services within the EU and with global partners. Moreover, financial instruments like green bonds and sustainable investment initiatives under the Just Transformation Mechanism facilitate this transformation, guaranteeing its inclusivity and economic feasibility.

The research indicates that renewable energy is a fundamental component of the EU's green trade system, aiding adherence to international climate accords and improving competitiveness in global markets. Nonetheless, obstacles persist, including technological inequities among member states, substantial initial investment expenditures, and intricate regulatory frameworks. The report advocates for the enhancement of cross-border collaboration, the augmentation of innovation financing, and the fortification of public-private partnerships to overcome these obstacles.

CHINA’S “DUAL CIRCULATION” STRATEGY: HOW IT AFFECTS THE GLOBAL ECONOMY

Y. Tsui — 2025-09-15

The “Dual Circulation Strategy”, adopted by China, represents a new model of economic development aimed at achieving sustainable growth through a balanced interaction between domestic and international markets. Amid growing global instability, trade wars, and changes in the world economy, China is increasingly turning to internal drivers of development, seeking to reduce its dependence on external demand. Particular emphasis is placed on stimulating domestic consumption, developing high-tech industries, modernizing the production base, and enhancing self-sufficiency in key sectors.

At the same time, the strategy does not imply isolationism: China continues to actively participate in the global economy, expanding its external ties and strengthening international cooperation, especially within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative and bilateral trade agreements. This article examines the key elements and objectives of the Dual Circulation Strategy, its institutional and economic mechanisms of implementation, as well as its implications for the global economy and international supply chains. Special attention is paid to the prospects for strategic cooperation with other countries and the transformation of China's foreign economic policy in the context of a changing geopolitical and financial landscape.

A diagnostic assessment of the economic security status of the Republic of Mordovia under demographic aging has been conducted. Approaches to risk mitigation are considered, and directions for adaptive social policy requiring transformations to transition towards active longevity are proposed.

The purpose of this article is to diagnose crisis situations emerging in the regional economic security system under the influence of demographic aging, and to develop evidence-based proposals for risk reduction and social policy adaptation.

The research methodology includes a systematic approach to the analysis of demographic and economic indicators, the identification of a system of indicators for diagnosing the economic security status of a territory under demographic aging, the use of threshold values of normative indicators, and zonal classification of risks in the field of economic security.

HOW ERP SYSTEMS EMPOWER THE BALANCED SCORECARD: ANALYSIS OF SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS

Fatima Berarma — 2025-09-12

This study aims to explore the relationship between Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and the Balanced Scorecard (BSC), aiming for identifying the potential of ERP systems to enhance the effectiveness of BSC implementation. In the context of economic digitalization and increasing complexity of management processes, there is a growing need for integrated information systems for providing timely and reliable data for strategic decision-making. Against this backdrop, examining the impact of ERP systems on the development of strategic control tools, including the BSC, has become an important area of academic research.

The methodological basis of this study is a literature review. The analysis includes 58 scholarly publications from 1990 to 2023, covering the evolution of ERP and BSC concepts, their implementation, interaction, and implications for management accounting and control.

The results of the study show that when ERP systems are properly integrated with the BSC significantly improve strategic management performance by offering comprehensive, real-time, and aligned data. This allows organisations to track key performance indicators more quickly, ensure more accurate and timely control, and better align their actions with strategic goals. Moreover, ERP systems automate data collection and processing, allowing controllers to shift from routine tasks to analytical and advisory roles. Integrating the BSC into the ERP architecture expands the use of predictive and prescriptive analytics for strategy evaluation and adjustment.

The study argues that implementing the BSC outside the context of integrated information systems such as ERP limits its potential. However, a strong link between ERP and the BSC strengthens the proactive nature of strategic control and enables more agile responses to internal and external changes. Thus, ERP systems not only support the implementation of the BSC but also enhance its effectiveness as a tool for strategic management and control.

The findings are relevant for organizations seeking to improve management system performance through the integration of information technologies and strategic control tools. The paper is of interest to researchers and practitioners in the fields of management control, digital transformation, and strategic management, particularly in the context of regional and sectoral economies.

THE ORGANIZATION’S STRATEGY: METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO DEVELOPMENT

Iu. V. Gorbunov — 2025-09-12

The research issue is related to the increasing relevance and complexity of developing development strategies for modern organizations. Radical and unpredictable changes occurring both within national economies and at the level of different states and their associations make it difficult or impossible to generate reliable long-term forecasts. Namely, they are, according to popular methods, the basis for the development of organizational strategies. At the same time, successful development of companies is impossible without a well-structured perspective. In the article, the authors explore the category of “strategy”, which is compared with the concept of “strategic planning”, consider the tools of strategic management, approaches to the development of organizational strategy.

Using the methods of economic and financial analysis, the dynamics of the most significant external and internal factors affecting the development of Public Joint Stock Company “Mining and Metallurgical Company “Norilsk nickel” is studied, and the methods of strategy development applied by the management of this company are analyzed. The study showed that the management of PJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel was forced to abandon the use of a rational approach in strategic management in favor of logical incrementalism.

IMPLEMENTATION OF REGIONAL MIGRATION POLICY FOR POPULATION REPRODUCTION BASED ON MATERIALS FROM THE URAL FEDERAL DISTRICT

S. V. Danilova — 2025-09-12

The migration processes of the territories have an impact on the indicators of the implementation of demographic policy, which is currently aimed at reproducing the population in the context of demographic aging, which determines the relevance of this study. The purpose of the study is to form a modern mechanism for managing migration processes in the Ural Federal District. The totality of migration flows, under the influence of accompanying social factors (the level of adaptation of migrants, education, health, involvement in the processes of socio-cultural integration) significantly affect demographic processes. It is quite difficult to assess the level of the direct (isolated) impact of migration on the demographic indicators of the territory, but through expert assessment it is possible to form a common mechanism for managing demographic processes, in particular, and migration policy in general (as part of demographic policy). The article evaluates individual regulations that have a direct impact on migration processes, analyzes some indicators that are used to assess migration flows. As a result, the author developed a modern mechanism for implementing migration policy in the Ural Federal District in the context of population reproduction management and concluded that it is necessary to develop a unified, integrated approach to managing migration flows, which should significantly increase the effectiveness of not only migration, but also demographic policy in general.

T. V. Drugova — 2025-06-11

The article examines the issues of interaction between representatives of the Institute of voter protection and stakeholders in terms of improving urban infrastructure. Construction and improvement of urban infrastructure is a complex process aimed at creating conditions for ensuring normal life and work of people living in a certain area. To do this, it is necessary to form engineering networks, build socially important facilities and make interconnected decisions that create conditions for life and work in order to develop a certain locality. It should also be borne in mind that many fields and specialists are involved in the construction and improvement of urban infrastructure. In addition, the basic facilities, systems and buildings included in them, organizations must be built taking into account the requirements of safety for urban infrastructure.

ASSESSMENT OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES OF THE WATER MANAGEMENT COMPLEX

N. V. Erin — 2025-06-11

Currently, the global community is actively discussing issues related to attempts to include ecosystem services in international and national economic mechanisms and the formation of markets for these services. Modern approaches to the conditional income method suggest using the technique of comparing the economic effect of using natural resources in the case of their conservation with possible losses in the case of their loss. The intensive use of resources that underlies economic growth is recognized as a long-term national risk, making research in this area increasingly relevant.

The paper analyzes the ecological, social and economic characteristics of the water management of Lake Teletskoye. It is shown that in modern conditions of increasing anthropogenic load and the possibility of recreational degression, the risk of loss of the water body's required ecosystem services does not go beyond the limits of acceptable and justified values. The obtained results can be used in the practice of economics of nature management in the management of water resources from the point of view of effective and rational use, taking into account their limitations, competent justification of methods for preserving a favorable environment within the framework of the concept of sustainable environmental and economic development of the territory.

L. A. Kapustyan — 2025-06-11

The article emphasizes the relevance of continuing the topic chosen for the study of improving the joint activities of the government and the population on the socio-economic development of the country, its regions and municipalities. The involvement of the authors in the system of state and municipal governance contributes to their conviction that issues of increasing the efficiency of interaction between the state and society are among the highest priorities when discussing various proposals and choosing ways to solve emerging problems in territorial management. Using traditional research methods, the authors pay attention to both the already established practice of parity cooperation in solving local issues (territorial public self-government, initiative projects, etc.) and the study of new approaches dictated by the development of information and communication technologies and innovative mechanisms. A number of features of the management process related to the implementation of the principles and standards of client-centricity introduced in order to improve the quality of services provided to citizens in electronic format are touched upon. Emphasis is placed on the activities of multifunctional centers for the provision of state and municipal services (MFC), the results of a survey of citizens who applied to the MFC of the Altai Territory are presented. The need to improve personnel policy, including training, advanced training and retraining of personnel for the management sphere was noted.

DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES FOR THE LABOR MARKET IN A WEAKLY URBANIZED REGION

A. Ch. Kylgyday — 2025-06-11

The article presents the results of a study of the structure of Russian regions based on the calculation of the level of urbanization and integral indicator of the labor market. An extremely tense situation on local labor markets has developed in weakly urbanized regions. These tensions are characterized by high unemployment, a shortage of qualified personnel in certain industries and, as a result, an outflow of the population to more urbanized regions. The lack of jobs in rural settlements is often due not only to the lack of companies, but also to the inability of existing organizations to offer competitive salaries and working conditions comparable to urban areas. The priority development of rural settlements in the format of an agrocluster is proposed to overcome the challenges facing the labor market in regions with a low degree of urbanization. This approach will stimulate the development of the region's economy and the labor market.

NEW GENERATION STRATEGIC PLANNING: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS A TOOL FOR IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF MANAGING THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF SINGLE-INDUSTRY TOWNS (BASED ON THE MATERIALS OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN)

S. I. Mezhov — 2025-06-11

The results of a study the development forecasting the tools the balance on devoted of migration to artificial intelligence technology in order to improve the effectiveness of strategic planning for the socio-economic development of single-industry towns in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Currently, there are no universal methodologies for forecasting socio-economic indicators and characteristics of migration processes. At the same time, the amount of budget funds allocated for human resources, social infrastructure and measures that determine the trajectory of the development of single-industry towns directly depends on the accuracy of the forecast of the migration balance.

This article provides an analytical review of existing research in the field of forecasting migration processes, which revealed the lack of representation of artificial intelligence models, in particular adaptive neural networks, in this area.

The purpose of the study is to develop tools for predicting migration balances based on artificial intelligence technology in order to improve the effectiveness of strategic planning for the socio-economic development of single-industry towns in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The result of the study is a methodological approach and tools for forecasting the migration balance, applicable in the context of single-industry towns of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The proposed approach and tools are characterized by potential versatility in the field of forecasting socio-economic indicators. The described results can be used in further research in the field of forecasting and planning, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of management decisions, in particular, in the implementation of evidence-based policies focused on the development of single-industry towns.

FROM CLICK TO HORN: HOW TO MAP THE CUSTOMER JOURNEY IN THE RIDE-HAILING INDUSTRY

S. Meradi — 2025-06-11

Ride-hailing services have afflictive «monopolized» regions of North Africa and changed the nature of interaction cities and various digital platforms. Yassir — which provides a mobile-based alternative to standard taxi services — has rapidly established itself among Algeria's dominant VTC service providers. But this increasing visibility brings up critical questions about the real quality of the user experience. The company touts the affordability, efficiency, and convenience of its service, but user reviews from the web paint a more complex and, at times, contradictory portrait. By investigating the digital footprints present in comments made publicly by users as well as reviews found on platforms, this study aims to shed light on the various user stages in order to better comprehend the journey customers undergo when engaging with Yassir. The aim really is to find those key friction and satisfaction moments and how that influences their engagement and loyalty. We employed a qualitative netnographic methodology where we compiled and thematically analyzed user generated content on social media and mobile app platforms. Data were coded according to the four key phases of the customer journey: awareness, consideration, decision and post-experience. The results suggest that Yassir customer experience is an assemblage that is constituent by a variety of cognitive, and emotional factors that changes over time.

Users usually find out about the app in the initial awareness stage when it is shown in the form of a sponsored ad or via a friend or an influencer. This phase is critical because it sets first impressions. The right pricing models will attract some users, a cross-section will be drawn in by competitive prices and the promise of convenience, while others express initial reluctance based on unclear pricing models and negative word-of-mouth. Those early concerns suggest a perception gap between the promotional promise and the perceived reliability of the service. In the consideration stage, users are actively comparing Yassir against their competitor apps (TemTem and Heetch). Online ratings, reviews and anecdotal experiences all serve as social proof, which is a critical driver of perceptions. While promotional codes and referral incentives boost engagement, cyclical pain points — such as pricing, sudden cancellations, and lack of clear route tracking — are frustrating users. This again points to the need to ensure they can maintain transparent communication and information flow. During the decision-making stage, for example, users tend to prefer availability and price first, since time pressures can influence a booking. Hip at this stage everyone, the app interface, driver ratings, and estimated arrival times, play a huge role in your choice. Yet that experience is often muddied by unpredictable fare fluctuations, delays and unresponsive customer service, all of which erodes trust and pushes some users to competitors. Once they are done with an experience, this post-experience stage will provide important insights into their long-term involvement. They can also serve up satisfied users, who turn into active promoters sharing positive reviews and encouraging others to install the app. By contrast, users who experience recurring problems — like overcharging, impolite or unprofessional drivers, or problems with complaints going unanswered — are more likely to vent publicly about their frustrations. Such negative narratives have a multiplicative effect on brand goodwill and highlight systemic failures in service recovery processes. The analysis finds that even though Yassir manages to attract a wide range of users with high visibility and low-price posting offers, it fails to provide a consistently reliable and transparent service. To improve the end-user experience and gain user loyalty, the platform needs to take some tangible actions: clear pricing structures, increased driver accountability, faster response to user complaints and effective loyalty programs targeting users with consistent usage. They're not just important for addressing the gap between promise and performance, but also for turning transactional interactions into deep and durable customer relationships. By adapting, Yassir stands to further consolidate its competitive edge while building deeper levels of trust and satisfaction among its users.

FORMATION OF A NATIONAL OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH CULTURE MODEL

О. V. Usikova — 2025-06-11

For any organization, two interrelated tasks are a priority: preserving the life and health of employees and ensuring an accident-free production process, which can be solved by employees whose professional level meets modern qualification requirements and whose capabilities (mental, physical, and physical) are adequate to the requirements of the relevant legislation. Qualification requirements, and their capabilities (mental, physical, emotional) allow them to perform their work without damage to their health. All this has necessitated the formation of new approaches to improving the culture of work safety and creating a favorable working environment, that is the formation of a national culture of work safety. The article presents various foreign models of safety culture maturity and considers the peculiarities of their formation. The analysis allowed us to formulate the concept of the model of the national culture of occupational safety and health taking into account the peculiarities of spiritual and moral values and mentality of the population of the Russian Federation.

FACTORS AFFECTING FOOD SECURITY OF FARMING HOUSEHOLDS IN BALKH PROVINCE (AFGHANISTAN)

M. M. F. Haidari — 2025-06-11

Food security means ensuring physical and economic access to food products. This type of security is linked to the first principle and is defined as one of the necessary conditions for maintaining health and well-being of people in the society so that people can play a key role in political, economic, social and cultural development. In addition, it is an integral part of human security according to the UN. It refers to the state duty to maintain food security which should also be legally binding. Without achieving food security, other formats of strategic development of the state are simply impossible. This topic is relevant at the international, domestic level and in the context of each household. The global problem of food security lies in the geographically disproportionate distribution of food resources, and, therefore, the differences between countries in assessing this indicator. Thus, the present research has been conducted to highlight the significance of this issue. This study is non-experimental and non-descriptive in terms of the level of control over variables, field-based in terms of data collection method, and survey-based in terms of the generalizability of the findings. The target group of the present study consists of household heads in Balkh province in Afghanistan. The sampling method used in this research is simple random sampling, 210 individuals were selected using Cochran's formula.

The findings of the research show that policy and regulation have a significant impact on the food security of families in Balkh province. Thereby, this highlights the specificity of the implementation of this factor at the level of Afghanistan. It is certain that the development and administration of public supportive policies and regulations in order to increase income and, consequently, food security of families is necessary. After policy and regulation, economic factors had the greatest impact on the food security of families in Balkh province. The low level of household income and the difficulty of growing through additional sources were taken into account. Educational and informational factors were among other factors affecting the food security of families. Availability of information, level of education, and, consequently, professional competencies shape the quality of decisions implemented at the level of each household. Geographic factors were another factor that had a strong effect on the food security of families. Geographical position has a direct impact on food security through climate impact, transport accessibility, economic development and cultural traditions. These factors determine territorial potential for food production, storage and distribution, as well as the resilience of its inhabitants to external threats. The last factor that had the weakest impact on the food security of families in Balkh province is the family factor. The impact of this factor can be observed through the relationship between family size and consumption level.

Thus, the results of the research emphasize the multifactorial impact on food security in Balkh province. They indicate that it is necessary to implement complex solutions for positive changes in the area which will further lead to a multiplier effect. Consideration of relevant regulations in relation to one factor will not give stable and sustainable results. Thereby, a synergetic effect can be achieved through the implementation of state programs aimed at social stability, development of the personnel system for relevant areas of the economy and strengthening information accessibility.

THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT INSTRUMENTS ON THE PERSONNEL POTENTIAL OF THE AGRO-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX OF THE ALTAI TERRITORY

N. A. Shevchuk — 2025-06-11

The existing problem of labor shortage in the country and the region requires a thorough study. This study is devoted to the consideration of such a factor of production as human capital in terms of the impact on its size and the qualitative composition of financial support instruments, including government. The paper provides a comparative analysis of the dynamics of wages of agricultural workers in the region, in the Siberian Federal District and the Russian Federation. The structural proportions between the wages of agricultural workers and workers in other fields of activity have been established. The dynamics of the rural population has been assessed, taking into account changes in its share in the total population of the region. Parallels are drawn between the size of the allocated budget funds and the availability of labor resources in the agricultural sector of the region's economy. In addition, the dynamics of vacancies in the agro-industrial complex of the region has been established. The conducted studies did not reveal a direct correlation between the amount of financial incentives allocated and the amount of labor capital in the region. According to the authors, the main reason for the current situation is the discrepancy between the social infrastructure and consumer needs of the population. Overcoming the existing discrepancy requires the search for new approaches in infrastructure development, the development of special production and technological solutions, and changes in the economic mechanism for the development of infrastructure services in these territories.

ORGANIZATIONAL AND ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING OF CONVICTS

Yu. N. Dyatlov — 2025-06-09

The relevance of the article's problems is determined by the need to eliminate the organizational and economic disproportions and restrictions existing in the domestic system of professional education and professional training of special contingent of correctional institutions. Among them, the following are highlighted and considered as priority structural discrepancy between the list of professional educational programs offered to convicts and the current needs of the labor market, insufficient use of modern information technologies and equipment necessary, lack of professional selection of convicts, unsystematic and unequal access of convicts to higher education, restriction of the possibility of mastering related professions during the period of serving the sentence. A number of additions have been proposed that are advisable to be included in the list of the main stages of the implementation of the process of vocational education and vocational training of convicts. As part of the final stage, it was recommended to assess the effectiveness of this process on the basis of quantitative and qualitative indicators characterizing the level of organization of the educational process in penitentiary institutions, the professional structure of employment and the dynamics of recidivism of persons who have served sentences of imprisonment.

INTER-REGIONAL CONTRASTS IN ECONOMIC POTENTIAL AND PER CAPITA BUDGET EXPENDITURES

O. V. Askanova — 2025-06-09

Growing significant imbalances in the territorial development of the Russian Federation is causing increasing concern, posing a serious threat to the social stability and security of the state. Being on the current agenda, the topic of regional polarization is reflected both in the power rhetoric and in the strategic planning documents of the state. However, the «modesty» of the results of the implemented measures to balance spatial development, as well as the theses that periodically pop up in the public space about the need to abandon the support of the Russian province, do not allow the author to ignore the identified problem.

The aim of the work is to investigate the gaps in the economic potential of Russian regions and the fiscal effects smoothing them, which are given a definite idea by analyzing the gross regional product and budget expenditures per capita. The validity of using these indicators for research purposes is determined, in the author's opinion, by the inequality of budgetary opportunities of sub-federal authorities and gaps in the relative size of the gross regional product.

The use of special methods of processing and analyzing an array of statistical data made it possible not only to identify rather strong territorial contrasts in terms of gross regional product per capita in the Russian Federation, but also to clearly record the process of regional development levels diverging according to this indicator. At the same time, the study of regional differences in budget expenditures per capita showed the presence of spatial redistribution of economic resources on a national scale. Recognizing that through fiscal policy the government is trying to smooth out the sharp imbalances in the economic development of the regions, the author notes the insufficiency of damping measures. As a result, not only the problems of lagging behind are being preserved, but also the levels of socio-economic development of the leading and stagnating regions are diverging.

CURRENT STATE AND DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL OF REGIONAL RETAIL (BASED ON THE MATERIALS OF THE ALTAI TERRITORY)

N. M. Suray — 2025-03-16

The trade industry plays a key role in the socio-economic development of regions. The practice of regional retail from Siberia to the Far East demonstrates that retail successfully competes in the same market with federal chains. The article presents the results of a study of the peculiarities of retail trade development in the Altai Territory. The advantage of regional retail is the presence of a high proportion of local products. Currently, there are over 20 grocery chains operating in the Altai Territory, including both large federal retailers and regional companies. Thus, among the local networks, the largest networks can be distinguished — LLC Maria-Ra (Barnaul), LLC Anix and LLC Forne (Biysk). Based on the results of 2023 Retail chains in the region accounted for 41.9% of the total retail turnover, which amounts to 212.2 billion rubles (in the Siberian Federal District — 40.6%; throughout the Russian Federation — 36.1%). In the retail sector of food products, including beverages and tobacco products, the share of sales of retail chains reached 55.7%. The retail trade turnover in the retail chains of the Altai Territory amounted to 44.3% of the total retail trade in the subject of the Russian Federation. The main trends in the transformation of the activities of regional retail chains are highlighted.

THE ROLE OF ESG-PRINCIPLES IN ENSURING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF A RESOURCE REGION

G. I. Popodko — 2025-03-16

The importance of sustainable regional development is due to the need to ensure economic growth, reduce disparities in living standards and minimize environmental damage. Currently, a large number of works are dedicated to the topic of sustainable development at both national and regional levels, but a single correct solution to provide it has not yet been found. One possible direction for ensuring the sustainability of regional economies is the implementation of ESG principles, which aim to improve the environmental condition, enhance social development, and upgrade the quality of governance in the region. Regions rating on the implementation of ESG principles is compiled by numerous rating agencies, but each agency uses its own system of assessment indicators for each block: E (environment), S (social development), G (governance). The methodologies used by rating agencies are based on scoring and are not comparable to each other. All this leads to a lack of due consideration of regional authorities to the issue of sustainable development. However, the experience of large companies that make a significant contribution to ensuring sustainable development in the regions where they operate through the implementation of ESG principles, deserves increased attention.

Assessment of customer satisfaction is one of the basic tools for understanding how much a company's products or services can meet their needs, provide the desired effects, leave a positive aftertaste that can encourage the client to make a repeat purchase. This topic is especially relevant in a highly competitive environment, the catering industry, when a business needs to evaluate these indicators every day in order to be competitive, find ways to improve the quality-of-service satisfaction. The purpose of the study is to develop a set of recommendations for improving the quality of services by assessing the satisfaction of canteen customers with the food services provided. Research methods: a survey of corporate canteen customers using the CSI and NPS methods. The results obtained demonstrated the possibility of assessing the level of satisfaction of canteen customers with the quality of food services provided. In the context of rapid environmental changes, rare CSI and NPS surveys (quarterly and less often) do not provide prompt feedback, so it is advisable to conduct them on an ongoing basis in real time. The CSI and NPS assessment methodology, taking into account its adaptation to the specifics of the services provided, can be used in other industries, which will allow obtaining the necessary results, improving the quality and economic indicators of the business.

A. D. Dzhoi — 2025-03-14

In recent years, the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) into companies' operational processes has become not only a relevant trend but also a necessary step to enhance their competitiveness and efficiency. The article examines the financial and organizational benefits associated with the use of AI, as well as its impact on human resources and corporate culture. The study is based on an analysis of various examples of AI implementation and highlights a significant reduction in operating expenses and an increase in labor productivity at OJSC “Russian Railways,” as demonstrated by forecast modeling based on company-provided data. It also points out issues in HR policy, including insufficient attention to employees' professional development and motivation, which leads to high staff turnover and professional burnout. The study found that implementing AI can lead to a reduction in operating expenses by 20-30%, an increase in labor productivity of up to 30%, and improved efficiency in HR departments.

Considering the current challenges in the labor market and trends toward decreasing unemployment, the adoption of AI and related programs is critically important for enhancing business efficiency and retaining key employees.

IMPROVEMENT OF LABOUR CONDITIONS IN THE OPERATION OF OVERHEAD COMMUNICATION LINES AND POWER LINES

V. A. Senchenko — 2025-03-14

Airborne communication lines (ACL) and overhead power lines (OPL) are the most cost-effective way of laying communication lines and power lines, being characterised by low costs, ease of installation and the possibility of providing access to hard-to-reach areas. These characteristics make overhead lines and overhead power lines an important part of the communications and energy infrastructure in today's world.

Work on overhead power lines and overhead power transmission towers is carried out by many different professions: installer, universal communicator, electrician, electromechanic and so on (hereinafter referred to as a worker). Work on overhead power lines and overhead power transmission towers is associated with an increased risk of falls from height. This article discusses the issues of improving working conditions in the operation of overhead power lines and overhead power lines when working at height using an extension ladder, focuses on

the development and implementation of a set of technical, technological and organisational measures to reduce the risk of falling from height. An integrated insurance system combined with evacuation and rescue mechanisms is presented, which has been implemented in the Volgograd branch of Rostelecom. It provides insurance during work, as well as fast and safe evacuation of victims from the support, reducing the time for organising rescue actions.

The proposed solution favourably differs from the established algorithm of rescue actions, described for the cases of work on overhead power line poles, taking into account the smaller number of participants in the process, the absence of the need for physical strength to control the rope, the possibility of adjusting the rate of descent.

STATE CLUSTER POLICY IN THE REGION: PRACTICES AND PROBLEMS OF IMPLEMENTATION

A. M. Sergienko — 2025-03-14

The theoretical and institutional aspects of regional cluster policy are considered. Using the example of the regional center for cluster development, the authors considered a wide range of practices and tools for financial and non-material support of territorial production clusters in the Altai Territory. Using the results of surveys of experts and managers of cluster enterprises, problems were identified and directions for the development of cluster support were proposed. The key problems include, on the one hand, the instability of the economic development of cluster enterprises caused by a lack of their own resources, insufficient interaction with scientific and educational organizations, significant barriers to entering new markets. Оп the other hand, there are limited opportunities of the used government support tools and forms, resulting in a low level of regional enterprises motivation to integrate into a cluster format.

FORMS OF INTERACTION BETWEEN SMALL ENTERPRISES AND LARGE BUSINESSES AND GOVERNMENT SUPPORT FOR THIS INTERACTION

A. A. Bakhov — 2025-03-13

This article discusses the topic of interaction between small and large enterprises. Their interaction is based on mutually beneficial cooperation and is possible in various forms. But usually small businesses are more interested in such interaction. And since small business plays an important economic and social role in any country, it is important for government authorities not only to support small business in principle, but also to stimulate interaction between small and large enterprises.

In the article, various forms (methods) of interaction are considered from the point of view of the relevance of their additional government stimulation. It has been established that there are forms of interaction that do not require additional government intervention (outsourcing and franchising); there are those where it is relatively effectively stimulated by the current legal regulation (subcontracting); There are those where, despite a general negative background, some positive experience has been accumulated (industry regional clusters). It is also proposed to single out “interaction within the framework of the implementation of socially significant projects” as a new form of interaction (an example of additional gasification of regions is considered).

TRENDS IN THE FORMATION OF ASSORTMENT POLICY OF RETAIL CHAINS AND DAIRY PROCESSING ENTERPRISES IN RUSSIA IN THE DAIRY CATEGORY

N. M. Suray — 2024-12-10

In Russia, the consumption of dairy products corresponds to global trends: there is an increase in the consumption of cheeses, yoghurts and dairy desserts, while traditional products are declining. Demand is shifting towards more complex and higher quality dairy products. The objective of the assortment policy is to ensure that at each moment in time the set of goods offered by the enterprise optimally meets the needs of consumers in terms of quality characteristics and volume. Retail chains implement a policy of social responsibility, setting a minimum trade margin for the most significant categories of dairy products, including milk and butter. In federal retail, there is complete import substitution of basic dairy products, but a small share of imports is retained in order to maintain the diversity of the range of these products.

The study presents key trends in the development of specialized chains selling dairy products: new players appear on the market every year and existing chains are actively developing, stores of new formats appear, and the range of chains changes. The study used data from company websites, interviews with chain store managers, reports from market players, analysis of statistical data from Rosstat, the Federal Customs Service and other sources. Optimizing the range of dairy products while maintaining the quality and availability of the main product categories is currently effective. This strategy will allow dairy processing companies to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and retail chains will simplify the processes of storing and managing inventory.

DEVELOPMENT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION IN RUSSIA: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS

A. A. Vazim — 2024-12-10

The article is devoted to the analysis of the development of renewable energy sources (RES) in Russia in 2014-2023 in the regional aspect. Investing in high-cost and knowledge-intensive renewable energy requires an appropriate risk assessment. In our article, we sought to analyze the results of how the regions of Russia can reduce threats and strengthen opportunities for the development of non-traditional energy sources in the medium term. A regional analysis of capacity commissioning and electricity generation should identify regions with favorable natural and geographical conditions, as well as regions where efficient electricity generation is conditioned by developed market and institutional conditions. The analysis showed that renewable energy is developing in only half of the country's regions. Geographically, production is uneven, with the dominance of the South of Russia. In terms of the growth rate of energy production, the South of Russia and the Volga-Ural regions are significantly ahead of others. It is there that we should expect further success in the development of renewable energy sources. The final analysis, in accordance with the principle of comprehensive development of renewable energy, allowed us to conclude that its potential is higher where government bodias are ready to pay attention to the development of the market environment and themselves create institutional conditions for the successful development of renewable energy generation.

L. N. Babkina — 2024-12-09

The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of changes in some components of the natural environment on the territory of the Russian Federation, in the regions of the Arctic zone as a whole and for each of region separately. The goals, objectives and projected quantitative values of criteria for improving the quality of environmental components are contained in such fundamental three normative documents as the Decrees of the President of the Russian Federation, which are grouped by the authors into five groups and divided into two implementation periods from 2018 to 2024, and from 2024 to 2030 and before 2036. To carry out the analysis, the authors calculated relative indicators that reflected the dynamics of changes in the criteria for achieving goals according to the existing criteria of environmental protection for the components of the natural environment, according to which forecasts of quantitative indicators were determined in the National Project “Ecology”. The analysis of the annual improvement (change) in the value of each indicator made it possible to determine the possibility of obtaining environmental protection results to improve the state of the atmosphere, reservoirs, forests, the natural environment in cities and reduce waste in all the studied territories. Conclusions were drawn about the need to create: federal projects to improve all components of the natural environment, not only the atmosphere, water bodies, forest resources and reduce anthropogenic waste; annual state statistical reporting on all indicators — criteria for the implementation of strategic goals aimed at improving the quality of all components of the natural environment.

IDENTIFICATION OF PRIORITY TOURIST AREAS IN THE REGION: REPUBLIC OF TYVA

G. F. Balakina — 2024-12-09

Approaches to assessing the tourism potential of the region are considered. The basis of the analysis is the method proposed by the authors for qualitative assessment of the potential of various types of tourism in the region based on the aggregation of statistical indicators by municipality. This method allows you to rank municipalities according to the level of suitability (adequacy) of the territory of a municipal district or municipal entity (MU) for the organization and dynamic development of a certain type of tourism. The calculation was made using the example of the dynamics of agricultural tourism in 19 municipalities of Tuva using GIS analysis methods. Conclusions are drawn about the applicability of the methodology for determining promising directions for the development of these type of tourism: attracting investment by creating new means of informing potential tourists due to the preservation of the authentic living and working environment of livestock farmers, visiting aal sites with the possibility of accommodating guests, conducting master classes on processing meat, leather and wool. Municipalities of Tuva with significant, high, medium, low and very low levels of development of quality tourism potential are identified.

The study of the problem of competitive intelligence corresponds with the general trend in the development of the digital economy, and, accordingly, aspects of the use of information technology are revealed, along with traditional methods of its implementation. Both direct and indirect effects from competitive intelligence are described, as well as a diagnostic effect associated with assessing the competence of company management and, in general, the level of development of business culture.

PERSONNEL POLICY IN THE CONTEXT OF IMPLEMENTING A CLIENT-CENTRIC APPROACH IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE

L. A. Kapustyan — 2024-12-09

The relevance of the research topic lies in solving one of the main tasks currently facing government agencies. This task is to improve communications between the state and citizens by creating effective conditions to solve this problem. In state and municipal administration, services for the population are being improved and changed with the help of digital technologies, attention is focused on those public services that arouse the interest of citizens (users of these services). The authors of the article consider the issues of personnel policy. The importance and necessity of introducing the process of client-centricity in the public service is substantiated. The work of state and municipal employees should be based on the interests and requests of citizens (city, region, country). The concepts of personnel policy are considered from the point of view of political, sociological, economic and legal sciences, the authors of the article propose to consider personnel policy from the perspective of managerial activity and the theory of public administration, since this is how the concepts of administrative, sociological and economic intersect.

The article also examines the concepts of «personnel», «personnel», «personnel potential in the external environment», the structure of personnel policy, the principles, goals and objectives, subjects and objects, mechanism, functions, forms and methods. The authors conducted a standardized survey of state and municipal employees. The results of the survey identified significant problems in the implementation of the legal status of state civil servants, which do not make it possible to effectively use their work. The authors of the article suggest shifting the focus to the internal client.

THE IMPACT OF DIGITALIZATION ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN THE ALTAI KRAI

Z. M. Kozlova — 2024-12-09

The article is devoted to the analysis of the impact of digitalization processes on the development of entrepreneurship in the Altai Territory. The current state of entrepreneurship in the region, the analysis of types of business activities, and the distribution of business by category are analyzed. The current state of digitalization of entrepreneurship is considered in detail, the main areas of the digital economy in the region are noted, and the improvements that business digitalization contributes to are indicated. The article further identified the problems that stand in the way of implementing digitalization in the business sector: insufficient digital infrastructure, low level of digital literacy of entrepreneurs and workforces, as well as lack of funds for the implementation of digital technologies. Then possible solutions to the problems were identified: it was proposed to increase the digital literacy of entrepreneurs by providing the opportunity for distance learning, it was also proposed to provide conditions for the development of innovative entrepreneurship in the field of IT technologies (development of incubators, robotics centers, special platforms for youth information creativity). It is important to develop domestically produced information products at an affordable cost for their implementation in organizations of the Altai Territory. The need to ensure a secure information environment for the development of digital economy infrastructure was also noted.

ENERGY SECURITY OF THE REGION (ANALYTICAL RETRO-ASSESSMENT FROM A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE)

E. D. Kormishkin — 2024-12-09

The article considers energy security as one of the main conditions for ensuring sustainable socio-economic development of the country (region). It is positioned as a state of the energy complex, which provides uninterrupted access of all spheres of economic and economic activity and human life to inexpensive, reliable and modern energy sources, including renewable energy. The purpose of the study is to assess the state of energy security of a particular subject of the Russian Federation (the Republic of Mordovia), to identify threats in this area of the economy that hinder the sustainable development of the region. The research methodology is based on the system approach; on the use of general scientific methods of cognition (abstraction, combination of historical and logical, analysis and synthesis, etc.); on the use of indicative analysis tools (normalising coefficients, comparison of real values of energy security indicators with their threshold values); methods of comparison and analysis of time series in the software package STATISTICA. The system of indicators and threshold values for assessing the state of energy security of the region was formed; the main threats in this area were identified. Proposals aimed primarily at reducing the energy intensity of the gross regional product of the Republic of Mordovia, oriented at improving the energy security of the region, are given.

TRENDS AND PROSPECTS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED BUSINESSES IN THE REGION

A. A. Kuzmitskaya — 2024-12-09

The problem of sustainable development of small and medium-sized businesses at the regional level is urgent. The author has studied the current trends in the development of the activities of subjects in the field of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) of the Bryansk region, identified negative aspects that hinder their sustainable development. Providing a significant contribution to the formation of the gross regional product, SMEs are undoubtedly the most important element of the socio-economic system of the Bryansk region. Most of the SMEs (especially small enterprises, including microenterprises) are involved in the non-manufacturing sector, namely in wholesale and retail trade. Medium-sized enterprises in the region are engaged in industrial activities. The analysis of the current state of the Ministry of Agriculture made it possible to identify the primary measures aimed at the sustainable development of small and medium-sized businesses in the region. One of these measures is to support business sectors that, under the conditions of anti-Russian sanctions, perform a number of important import substitution tasks, ensuring economic stability. It is noted that small and medium-sized businesses in the region contribute to reducing tension in the labor market. Regional policy measures to support the SMEs are the basis for stimulating entrepreneurship and and they should be aimed at its further development, based on the principles of economic growth, social responsibility, and respect for the environment.

DEVELOPING THE KNOWLEDGE OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE ORGANIZATION (BASE ON MATERIALS A BRANCH OF THE STRUGAL ALGERIA FOUNDATION-AL-HASNAWI GROUP - SIDI BEL ABBES)

К. N. Naimi — 2024-12-09

Djillali Liabes University (Sidi Bel Abbes, Algeria)

World economies have evolved from economies of scarcity, which rely on physical natural resources, to economies of abundance, which rely on intangible assets such as research and development, technology, design and scientific innovation to achieve economic growth and societal well-being. Algeria must keep up with the world and build its economy without relying on hydrocarbons all the time, and to make knowledge the basis for the success of its SMEs. This article aims to study the development of individual knowledge in Algerian SMEs, where the individual is the main focus of the development process and the creation of new knowledge. Our analysis, inspired by Nonaka and Takeuchi's model, emphasizes the cycle of development and interaction between tacit and explicit knowledge.

The study was conducted on a random sample of employees at STRU GAL ALGERIE — Hasnaoui Foundation — Sidi Bel Abbes — Algeria, and we found that the organization adopts a culture of knowledge sharing through the interaction between the organization's human resources and establishes organizational learning as the basis for the creation and development of new knowledge for organizational members.

TRANSPORT SYSTEM OF THE ALTAI REGION: DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL IN THE CONTEXT OF TRANSFORMATION OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROCESSES

T. A. Rudakova — 2024-12-09

The article analyzes the potential for the development of the transport system of the Altai Territory, the legal and economic conditions for the formation of new approaches and proposals for assessing the possibilities for the development of the transport system on the scale of a separate territory. Based on a systematic approach to research, groups of quantitative and qualitative parameters characterizing the transport system of the Altai Territory, its problems and development opportunities were analyzed. The authors considered the transport system as a set of all types of transport, vehicles, transport communications and companies ensuring the uninterrupted process of their functioning. The development potential of the transport system of the Altai Territory is proposed to be considered from the perspective of its determining factors: the current state, socio-economic characteristics, geographical location in the context of interregional and international interaction, characteristics of transport infrastructure, unused resources and development opportunities, level of digitalization. The positive assessment of the potential of the transport system of the Altai Territory obtained as a result of the study does not exclude the need to solve the current issues that impede its development.

INCOMES OF THE POPULATION AS A FACTOR OF INTERREGIONAL ECONOMIC INTEGRATION

A. M. Sergienko — 2024-12-09

The theoretical aspects of the influence of the population incomes on the driving forces of the formation of processes of interregional economic integration are considered. Such driving forces are the interregional movement of commodity flows and capital and on the development of interregional cooperative and network relations of enterprises. A nature of such influence is determined and indicators are identified that allow it to be evaluated. On the example of an agro-industrial region (Altai Territory) using state statistics data from the early 2000s, a significant indirect effect of changes in real incomes and purchasing power on the physical volume of retail trade turnover and, as a result, on the interregional movement of commodity flows and capital, which was most clearly manifested during the crisis periods of economic development, are identified. The influence of low wages of employees of organizations of the region, its purchasing power on the formation of primarily low-tech value chains, inhibition of the development of interregional high-tech cooperative and network interactions of enterprises is substantiated.

KEY FACTORS AND TRENDS OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REPUBLIC OF BASHKORTOSTAN

N. V. Trofimova — 2024-12-09

Currently, the economy of the Russian Federation is under the influence of external and internal factors that significantly affect the current and forecast levels of development. The level of regional development is largely determined by all-Russian trends: economic — disruption of supply chains, reorientation of production to the domestic market and non-traditional export markets, high cost of credit funds; social — reduction in the number of labor resources; innovative — short level of introduction of the latest technologies into production, which leads to a low share of high-tech products in the total output.

In the development of industry in many regions, positive dynamics are largely due to the growth of the manufacturing industry.

To determine the level of development of a region, such fundamental indicators as gross regional product (GRP), investment in fixed capital, industrial production volumes and others are used.

In the article, based on the analysis of key economic indicators of the Republic of Bashkortostan, factors and trends in the socio-economic development of the region are identified.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AS AN INNOVATION FACTOR IN THE ACTIVITIES OF COMPANIES IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

E. S. Shchadnev — 2024-12-09

The fundamental paradigm for studying the impact of digital transformation on the business processes of companies as a whole was the study of J. Schumpeter, the greatest economist of the 19th — 20th centuries. In his opinion, innovation is nothing more than the basis of economic development. With the introduction of new approaches to activity management, which determine the transition dynamics from one structure to another, accompanied by significant changes, which, in turn, absorb old products and produce new ones, a transformation process occurs in the internal elements of the company's working mechanism.

Overall, automation is a powerful tool that improves the efficiency of construction project management by promoting quality coordination among project team members. Phased changes concern both initial planning and commissioning of the facility — this is the path to digital transformation.

As part of the study, the authors found that the digital transformation paradigm also brings with it intracollective changes in the behavioral line of employees, contributing to the development of a generative ideological mechanism, aimed at developing additional areas of the organization's activities, reducing the time range indicators necessary to fulfill the tasks set by management, and improving the psychological intro-team climate.

ASSESSMENT OF THE ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF AN INVESTMENT PROJECT IN HOUSING

A. S. Averyaskina — 2024-09-16

The article discusses a way to increase the profits of management companies by taking over the management of new apartment buildings. The acceptance of a new apartment building into management is considered as a separate investment project of management companies that requires analysis and justification of planned investments. The article proposes and tests a model for assessing the economic efficiency of an investment project in housing, which allows us to assess not only the effect of investments, but also to identify signs of early withdrawal of an apartment building from management. Identification of signs of early withdrawal of an apartment building from management is considered in the context of the proposed stages of the life cycle of an investment project in the field of housing. When assessing the investment attractiveness of a project in housing, the author's grouping of costs in relation to regulated and unregulated costs is proposed. The principle of controllability and noncontrollability of costs makes it possible to determine not only the minimum required quantity and cost of works (services) for the maintenance, management and repair of the common property of an apartment building, but also to identify the needs of the owners of an apartment building in high-quality and comfortable housing, as well as related services provided by management companies. The article offers recommendations that contribute to the prevention and elimination of signs of early withdrawal of an apartment building from management, allowing to preserve (increase) the financial capital of management companies.

MODERN TRENDS AND STANDARDS OF NON-FINANCIAL REPORTING: THE INTEREST OF THE RUSSIAN EXPERIENCE FOR THE REPUBLIC OF BELARUS

V. V. Alhanaqtah — 2024-09-16

There is a hypothesis that non-financial reporting contributes to the adherence of business organizations to sustainable development goals and, accordingly, provides access to «green» (sustainable) financing. The purpose of this article is to analyze current trends in the field of non-financial accounting and reporting, to compare the main systems of non-financial accounting and reporting, to consider the Russian experience in building ESG-infrastructure for its successful implementation in the Republic of Belarus. The current global trend is to take ESG-ratings to a new level due to the fact that more and more organizations are starting to publish their nonfinancial statements, demonstrating commitment (formal or real) to the principles of sustainable development. Since there are a number of controversial issues identified in the article, it seems advisable to continue to develop ESG-practices, but focus on voluntary non-financial reporting.

SOME ASPECTS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SUSTAINABLE AGENDA OF THE REGION

S. A. Galchenko — 2024-09-16

Currently, social responsibility, sustainable development of organizations, constructive interaction with stakeholders, which include: employees, customers, business partners, investors, shareholders, government, communities and the environment. Recently, corporate governance representatives have realized that long-term business success is based on establishing and developing good relationships with a wide range of stakeholders. In recent decades, the UN Sustainable Development Goals have been increasingly mentioned and an impressive amount of literature on this topic has appeared. Heads of organizations are increasingly realizing that participation in solving sustainable development issues benefits companies, the environment and society as a whole.
The article shows that responsible management and sustainable management are multidimensional concepts that cover not only economic aspects, but also social and environmental components. These areas involve a wide range of responsibilities assigned to various actors, such as the Government, multinational corporations or small companies. In addition, it shows that responsible management contributes to sustainable development in many
ways.

WEAKLY URBANIZED REGIONS: THE LABOR MARKET

A. C. Kylgyday — 2024-09-16

The work behavior of a person with his various social functions (the nature and intensity of activity, leisure, mobility, orientation) changes as favorable conditions for his social and professional development are provided. Urbanization is now becoming one of the important factors in the development of the economy and culture, having a significant impact on all aspects of modern society. Cities are centers of innovation and economic development, and become a magnet for people, attracting them with their opportunities and diversity.
Changes in population distribution are due to a change in the type of its reproduction and the type of management. First of all, the effects of urbanization include changes in human needs and behavior, intensification of activities, use of free time, value orientations, etc.
This study focuses on the interdependence of the labor market and the level of urbanization of the region. The analysis identified and confirmed the features and patterns of development of regional labor markets. The need to identify specific factors influencing its formation and functioning of the labor market is argued. This is especially true for regions with a low degree of urbanization, where, due to insufficient diversification of the economy, there
is a high level of overall unemployment.

SCALES OF SHADOW ECONOMY IN RUSSIAN REGIONS

O. M. Lizina — 2024-09-16

In post-Soviet Russia there has been a significant increase in the level of shadow economic activity with its simultaneous qualitative transformation. The impact of the shadow economy testifies to the loss of society's control over the direction of socio-economic and political processes. Researchers regularly make attempts to assess the scale of its spread at the state level; studies of the shadow economy in the regional context are much less frequent. To study it, the regions were grouped according to the level of economic development. In our opinion, the most preferable method for determining the level of shadow economy is the MIMIC-model. To build it, factors were determined for each group of regions using the method of principal components, and indicators of causes were identified using the analysis of factor loadings. On the basis of the obtained structural equation for each of the groups of regions, the adjusted value of the volume of shadow economy in the regional context was calculated. The shadow economy of the Russian Federation in the regional context looks rather uneven. In the period from 2006 to 2022 its average level exceeded the threshold value. Only in a few regions the level of informal activity decreased. In most regions the situation is more sad — the level of shadow economy remains stably high, and in a number of regions shadow activity tends to increase.

ON THE MEASUREMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF ESG RISKS IN THE LIFE CYCLE OF AN INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISE

A. S. Lifshits — 2024-09-16

The article is problem-solving in nature and reflects the author's vision of the methodology for measuring and interpreting ESG risks in the life cycle of an organization. The methodology is based on the principles of multidimensionality, the relationship of factors and consequences, sustainable development, and double materiality. viewed through the prism of the stages and phases of the life cycle of an organization (enterprise). The role of the economic potential of an enterprise and the preferred degree of its use in the survival and strategic development of an industrial enterprise is revealed. The sequence of measuring and interpreting the environmental, social and economic negative consequences of the functioning and development of an industrial enterprise has been determined. A double interpretation is used — economic (based on the criteria of economic damage and lost profits) and social (based on the criteria of dissatisfaction with the quality of work life). An approach has been formed to determine the degree and measure of ESG risks and their weight, which creates the prerequisites for the development of an integral indicator of ESG risks and key indicators of ESG restrictions.
The possibilities of quantitative measurement of the value chain and vulnerability chain are revealed, taking into account the potential influence of stakeholders. As a result, the possibilities for improving the relationship between the owners and top managers of the enterprise with the external environment and clarifying the role and place of management in realizing the goals of the micro-level production and commercial industrial system
of the national economy are expanding.

MODEL OF ENSURING ECONOMIC GROWTH WHILE MINIMIZING NEGATIVE ANTHROPOGENIC IMPACT

S. E. Maykova — 2024-09-16

Ensuring economic growth while minimizing ecological damage is becoming increasingly relevant in modern development conditions. The stratification of the global economic system, restrictions caused by the unprecedented imposition of sanctions, disruption of global supply chains, the redirection of key participants in production towards localization and import substitution have led to a change in the structure of material production resources.
This circumstance creates a complex of risk factors in the field of ecology, which will lead to an increase in the «cost» of economic development. Transitioning from an extensive growth model to a development based on resource-efficient technologies will help break negative trends. Addressing the challenge of preserving economic growth while reducing negative impact on the environment requires a reevaluation of approaches and the use
of forward-looking indicative planning of necessary resources, taking into account the possibilities of secondary waste utilization to minimize negative anthropogenic impact.
The research goal is the development of a functional model of sustainable development (over time), based on the principles of replacing natural capital by increasing the use of labor and capital resources with developed institutional support from the state. Such a model ensures the resolution of the conflict between «economic growth — minimizing ecological damage» through the application of the resource efficiency concept, based on the optimal selection of resource. The article outlines directions for the practical implementation of the basic model of ensuring sustainable development, as well as measures for its practical implementation, grouped by production factors.

DEVELOPMENT OF METHODOLOGICAL TOOLS FOR ASSESSING THE ECONOMIC SAFETY OF INDUSTRIAL AGGLOMERATION (BASED ON THE EXAMPLE OF PERM AGGLOMERATION)

Yu. A. Malyshev — 2024-09-16

This article briefly presents the formation of methodological foundations for the analysis and assessment of economic security in an industrial agglomeration. Digitalization processes have completely changed the tools for managing the region. The study is based on a systemic-institutional paradigm, where a transition in management has been made from «closed-loop» systems to open, self-organizing systems. Reciprocity of goods
and redistribution in case of bankruptcy in industrial organizations required institutional support over a long period. The theory of institutional and economic dysfunctions believes that institutions may not fulfill their functions and fail to achieve their goals. Existing indicative tools for assessing the economic security of an industrial agglomeration are outdated and do not contribute to solving problems in conditions of uncertainty and
the destabilizing impact of economic risks and threats. The development of theoretical foundations is aimed at substantiating the assessment methodology, the purpose of which is to identify and eliminate the dysfunction of institutions, and bring the institutional system to equilibrium, which will significantly speed up and improve the quality of decision-making.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL AREAS: CONCEPTUAL AND METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS

L. S. Medvedeva — 2024-09-16

The development of rural areas that can be observed at the present time suggests the need to improve the conceptual framework in the context of sustainable transformation. The orientation of these localities towards the sustainable development agenda can make it possible to achieve socio-ecological and economic stability not only of the village, but also of the state as a whole. However, this requires a comprehensive analysis of the territorial
development of rural areas and the construction of an algorithm for sustainable development. At the same time, this process is complicated by the fact that the collection of information necessary for conducting analytical procedures on the functioning of rural areas, on the achievement of sustainable development goals, on the results of the implementation of comprehensive development programs is not actually presented in the public domain or
is too generalized. In this article, statistical data analyzed in detail to assess the stability of the functioning of rural areas, an attempt will be made to assess the achievement of sustainable development goals in these areas, and a conceptual model will be built, including the goal, objectives, tools and mechanisms for achieving environmental sustainability in rural areas, reflecting analytical algorithms. Data from rural areas of the Rostov region were used to carry out analytical prosedures.

ISSUES OF DEVELOPMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING IN THE ALTAI TERRITORY IN FORCE MAJEURE CONDITIONS AND IN A STRATEGIC PERSPECTIVE

Val. V. Mishchenko — 2024-09-16

In developed countries, since the 80s, there has been an active process of changing the structure of national economy, when the share of industrial production is declining. The service sector becomes the basis for creation of gross domestic product, tax collection, fidget, employment. In Russia, deindustrialization took peace very quickly and this greatly affected the standard of living of population, the regions, and entire country as a whole. The back of rout material production in constituent entities of the Russian Federation and sanity from other countries force them restore the activities of manufacturing enterprises. Too far, the results cannot affective very influence the size to territorial budgets the growth of real incomes of population, etc. The structure of the manufacturing industry in the Altai Territory has changed significantly in market conditions, and companies operating in the transport engineering industry have become the leading enterprises.
Factor and agricultural engineering used to be city-forming enterprises in two large cities of the region, but theirs liquidation on minimal production become one of the main reasons for the large outlaw of population from the region. Other branches of manufacturing industry allow have specific development. Since February 22, the role of enterprises in the military-industrial complex has begun to grow and they are beginning to positively
influence the employment of the physically active population, budgets and the innovation level of the entire regional economy. Prospects for the strategic development of the territory require changes in the entire economic management system in conditions of interesting the size of the public sector, the formation of technological sovereignty both in the Russian Federation as a whole and in the its regions.

MIGRATION FLOWS OF ENTREPRENEURIAL COMPETENCIES: ANALYSIS OF TRENDS AND CONSEQUENCES

A. A. Rabtsevich — 2024-09-16

The article is devoted to the migration of personы with entrepreneurial competence in regional socioeconomic system (on the example of Bashkortostan Republic). Due to the weak development of this topic in Russian science, the author primarily examines existing studies on the external and internal migration of entrepreneurs, including potential ones. Statistics on the entrepreneurial activity of young people, as the most mobile group of the population, are provided. It is proved that profitability is the main driver of the choice of entrepreneurial activity for young people, as well as the place of its implementation. The author draws attention to the fact that in the current conditions for the Russian Federation, a special problematic focus should be focused not so much on the departure of young business competence holders abroad, as on their intra-country migration in the direction of «rural settlement — small town — megalopolis», since this phenomenon can cause irreparable damage to the socio-economic development of territories in the in the long term. An analysis of the migration situation of managers and specialists of the highest level of qualification in the field of business and administration in the municipalities of Bashkortostan Republic for 2022 is carried out using the indicator system. The administrativeterritorial formations of the region, concentrating migration flows of business competencies (metropolitan agglomeration and a number of zones with special economic conditions), as well as a set of territories, including urbanized ones, which are characterized by an outflow of people capable of entrepreneurial activity, are divided by type of settlements. The author made conclusions about the existing systemic problems of Bashkortostan Republic on the issue under consideration.

TRANSFORMATIONS IN THE SETTLEMENT SYSTEM OF ALTAI KRAI AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTEGRATION PROCESSES

L. V. Rodionova — 2024-09-16

Based on the data of the All-Russian population censuses (1989–2020) and current statistical records (1989–2023) the article analyzes the settlement system of Altai Krai against the background of the Russian Federation and the Siberian Federal District. Its structure, factors and mechanisms of formation and development are shown, the specifics of urban and rural settlement are revealed. The indicators of settlements network density, their
number of population and population density are considered. Particular attention is paid to the determination of the Altai Krai's place in the settlement system of the Russian Federation and SFD, to the study of the issues of uneven distribution of population and settlements, shifts in the settlement system of the region that have occurred in the last three decades. It is concluded that the settlement system of Altai Krai is characterized by a relatively
high degree of settlement of the territory, a relatively dense network of urban and rural settlements and extremely uneven spatial distribution of the population. During the analyzed period, there was a redistribution of population to super-large cities and largest villages and shrinkage of the middle layer of cities and rural settlements. There was the depopulation of significant territories, their falling out of the developed economic space and, as a consequence, the weakening of intra- and interregional interactions in the economy and social sphere.

ON THE ISSUE OF ASSESSING THE SUSTAINABILITY OF REGIONAL ECONOMIC SYSTEMS

O. S. Tarasova — 2024-09-16

The article analyzes approaches to assessing the sustainability of regional economic systems, taking into account their ecological subsystem. Definitions of the regional economic system and sustainability are given, approaches to assessing sustainability are considered. The absence of a unified methodology for calculating, composition and structure of criteria for assessing sustainability has been established, and it has been determined that the approach of developing indices and indicators of sustainability is most often used in assessing the sustainability of regional economic systems. The approaches to the development of indices and indicators within the framework of the concept of sustainable development, ESG indicators of sustainability, and the ESG ranking methodology are studied. The underestimation of the ecological subsystem of regional economic systems in assessing their sustainability in all the considered approaches has been revealed. The ecological component is considered either as a resource component or as an assimilation potential, the environment-forming functions of the environment, as a rule, are not taken into account. At the same time, the risks of emergency situations, real and potential economic and social damage from the development of adverse natural processes and phenomena are currently becoming limiting factors for the sustainability of regions. The use of a multicriteria (integral) approach in assessing the sustainability of regions will allow taking into account these risks.

SCIENTIFIC REVIEW OF RESEARCH METHODS AND TOOLS FOR ASSESSING ESG TRANSFORMATION IN BUSINESS

I. N. Tkachenko — 2024-09-16

For Russia, ensuring sustainable development is a priority. Companies with a sustainable development strategy launch the mechanism of their positive transformation in accordance with modern requirements, set longterm goals in the context of environmental, social and economic trends, understanding that its competitive position in the market and its investment attractiveness depend, among other things, on these components. Sustainable development is usually assessed in three separate ESG criteria — Environmental, Social, Governance, while the scope of application of the concept of sustainable development is constantly expanding, new characteristic aspects of modern development are being added that require clarification. In this regard, the agenda for researchers of ESG transformation processes and their effectiveness is the issue of a thorough study and rational application of various research methods and the tools that they include.
In this article, the authors attempt to provide a scientific overview of modern methods for studying ESG transformation, critically analyze the experience of testing research tools for studying modern trends in the implementation of ESG practices and their effectiveness in Russian and foreign companies, relying, among other things, on the experience of previous author's research and publications.

DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN THE REPUBLIC OF BASHKORTOSTAN

N. V. Trofimova — 2024-09-16

In foreign countries, small and medium-sized entrepreneurship perform economic functions, first of all, promoting innovative development, in particular, developing and introducing new production technologies. Innovation is one of the main factors in obtaining competitive advantages at the micro, meso and macro levels. In addition to economic functions, small and medium-sized businesses provide a high share of employment to the population. For example, in the United States, more than half of the economically active population is employed in the small and medium-sized business sector.
The number of small and medium-sized entrepreneurships in the Russian Federation as of 01/01/2024 amounted to more than 6 million units, but when comparing this indicator with the population, the Russian Federation lags behind Germany, France, Finland by 30–40%, from the USA, Czech Republic — 2 or more times.
In the article is based on conducted in municipalities of the Republic of Bashkortostan, the features of the functioning of small and medium-sized entrepreneurships are identified, the emerging trends and prospects for further development and expansion of activities are identified, and the most popular government support measures among SMEs are identified.
The results obtained can be used by regional executive authorities in the formation of strategic planning documents.

THE SPECIFICS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT REPORTS HIGHER EDUCATION ORGANIZATIONS

E. I. Chuchkalova — 2024-09-16

Sustainable development is generally understood as a system of special measures taken to meet the needs of the current generation, ensure economic and social progress, with the condition of preserving the environment and resources without prejudice to society in the future. Higher education is a key factor in the sustainable development of organizations, the economy and the state as a whole. As elements of the public sector, higher education institutions are subject to the attention of other participants in the system — entrepreneurs, the state, the population, who naturally expect from universities a high level of disclosure of economic, social and environmental information. The article examines the issues of sustainable development in relation to higher education organizations in the context of two paradigms: the first is the fulfillment of their basic educational and educational functions in the professional development of students and research projects commissioned by the state, regions, and business. The second is to create a positive, modern image to ensure competitive advantages in the struggle to attract business representatives and other stakeholders for the purpose of long — term partnerships. The relevance of the study is related to the commitment to introduce sustainable development reports into the
academic system of Russian education.

FINANCIAL SOURCES OF ACTIVITY OF A NON-PROFIT SPORTS ORGANIZATION: CONCENTRATION AND THEIR ANALYSIS

O. A. Shavandina — 2024-09-16

The article is devoted to improving the analysis of the concentration of financial resources of a non-profit sports organization. To ensure effective activities, sports organizations are forced to attract partners due to insufficient government funding. As a rule, the role of sponsors is commercial organizations that, by financing non-profit sports organizations, pursue their goals (sharing of sports equipment and inventory, promotion of a specific athlete, sport, advertising of manufactured products, etc.). To assess the degree of coverage of the total financial resources of sports organizations by major sponsors, the degree of influence and competition of financial partners, it is proposed to use the coefficients of concentration of financial sources, the Herfindahl-Hirschman index and the Hall-Tideman index. The reliability and consistency of the results obtained indicate that this economic and mathematical apparatus can be adequately used to analyze the financial resources of a non-profit sports organization. In general, the adjustment of analytical approaches is aimed at improving the quality of research into the effectiveness of their activities.

DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM IN THE CONTEXT OF TO THE REGIONAL ECONOMY DIVERSIFICATION AS A FACTOR IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INDUSTRIAL REGION

V. V. Shipunova — 2024-09-16

The article reveals the role of tourism development in an industrial region, shows that the raw material orientation of the regional economy makes it vulnerable to fluctuations in market conditions, resulting in a reduction in budget revenues, a shortage of investment resources for projects aimed at developing high-tech industries, improving working and living conditions of the population, reducing the attractiveness of the territory and the outflow of residents to other regions of the country. Based on the use of a comparative approach, the competitive advantages of the Kemerovo region-Kuzbass in key types of tourism are identified, the expediency of developing a relatively new type of tourism for the region, characterized by a significant number of industrial facilities, is justified. The analysis of statistical indicators and causal relationships has demonstrated the unstable dynamics of certain characteristics of the tourism industry in Kuzbass, which is mainly due to the influence of external factors. Attention is focused on the fact that the further development of tourism, with the consolidation of the efforts of the state and the business community, will contribute to the implementation of the principles of the ESG agenda in the region.

CURRENT TRENDS IN THE USE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN RUSSIAN RETAIL

N. M. Suray — 2024-06-13

Russia is one of the three world leaders with professional competencies in digital technologies. In domestic retail, as well as in the world, there is a regular increase in the pace of digitalization. This is due to the fact that consumers are increasingly using digital solutions. To successfully compete in the market and meet customer needs as effectively as possible, retailers need to continuously implement innovative technological solutions in their activities. They are introducing digital technologies in order to update and diversify business processes. Retail is an industry characterized by a high level of innovation. Artificial intelligence technologies, especially generative artificial intelligence, are becoming an integral part of the retail sector. For retail, one of the most popular applications of machine learning is the organization and conduct of marketing campaigns and customer analytics. Retailers are actively implementing modern shopping methods such as mobile payments, integration of virtual and augmented reality technologies, and the use of QR codes to improve both the digital and direct shopping experience. Fragmented reality is becoming an integral part of e-commerce, helping to narrow the gap between the digital and physical shopping experience. New sales channels will be used throughout 2024 to further improve customer relations and increase loyalty. Chatbots, game mechanics and other marketing tools for customer interaction are new points of business growth. The purpose of the study is to study the key directions of the introduction and use of digital technologies by Russian retail companies, as well as to identify the most promising trends in their development.

ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BUSINESS PROCESSES OF A TOURIST ENTERPRISE

I. A. Novichkova — 2024-06-13

The relevance of the study is determined by the need for an adequate assessment of the effectiveness of tourism enterprises and the flow of individual business processes at these enterprises in the context of the ever-increasing influence of the tourism industry on the economic and social spheres of society. The purpose of the study is to develop an algorithm for evaluating the effectiveness of business processes of tourist enterprises.

The methodological basis of the study was a set of general scientific methods. The article presents theoretical and methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of business processes of tourism industry enterprises in modern conditions of development of the tourism services market. The basic concepts of business processes are described, the purpose and criteria for evaluating their effectiveness are formulated. The characteristics of the main factors determining the effectiveness of business processes of tourist enterprises are given. When forming an integral indicator of the effectiveness of business processes, efficiency should be taken into account in such aspects of the business process as its cost and its structure, duration and quality of results, an algorithm for evaluating the effectiveness of business processes of a tourist enterprise consisting of ten consecutive steps is presented. During the implementation of the algorithm stages, the processes are analyzed according to the criteria of the quality of their implementation, their duration and cost. Priority matrices are used to identify processes in the areas of low, medium and high criticality. At the final stage, information on the effectiveness and priority of processes obtained at previous stages of the evaluation procedure is combined into a single matrix, which allows simultaneous analysis of all previously created matrices and calculation of the integral rank for each process. In cases where the process has a minimum level of integral rank, this indicates its low efficiency, which requires the application of reengineering to it.

PARTNERSHIP PROFILE OF PRC XINJIANG UYGUR AUTONOMOUS REGION IN THE CONTEXT OF ECONOMIC COOPERATION IN THE GREAT ALTAI SPACE

S. V. Lobova — 2024-06-13

The development of the International Coordinating Council “Our Common Home — Altai” (ICC) involves maintaining and strengthening cooperation between its constituent regions of neighboring countries. Economic interaction is based on knowledge and understanding of partners. The paper presents an attempt to form a partnership profile of PRC Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, which is one of the important and most developed regions included in the 1СС. We estimate the actual status of XUAR's resources and foreign trade based on Chinese statistics and mainly Chinese research. Several characteristics of the autonomous region are presented — components of the profile: territorial-geographical, resource, macroeconomic, trade-economic, infrastructural. It is shown that the features of the development of modern Xinjiang are its ultra-continental position, which determines transport economic interactions by land, accompanied by high transport costs, the presence of high natural and resource potential, the increasing development of manufacturing and mining industries, trade expansion into the Central Asian market, infrastructure modernization in connection with a special role in the implementation of the Chinese “One Belt — One Road” initiative.

STATISTICS AS A TOOL AND REFLECTION OF STATE POLICY: PROBLEMS AND TRENDS

O. V. Askanova — 2024-06-13

Despite the complication of information sources, which is typical for modern society, the most important means of reflecting socio-economic reality remains official statistical information. Based on the theme of insufficient user satisfaction with official statistical information, which often emerges in the Russian public space, the author, as a regular consumer of statistical products, sets the goal of identifying the most important problems in this area and conducting their critical analysis.

The work focuses on the study of completeness and quality issues of officially published statistical information in relation to the engineering industry, which represents the range of the author's scientific interests.

A comparative analysis of the Russian Statistical Yearbook content in terms of displaying information about mechanical engineering showed that, in comparison with today, in the “mirror” of statistics of the early 2000s, mechanical engineering is reflected retrospectively in a deeper, more informative and meaningful way, which allowed the author to state the fact of degradation information product of domestic statistics.

At the same time, noting the gradual involution of the statistical product and comprehending its causes, the author puts forward the idea of the declining the quality of statistical information with the liberal understanding peculiarities of the state role in the economy, which has dominated the state policy of the Russian Federation since the 90s of the last century.

Clearly understanding that in the changed development paradigm, where the state is a key sense-forming and coordinating actor, the existing system of official statistical information does not satisfy research and management needs, the author sees an urgent need to transform statistics from a formal means of reporting, which has little demand as an instrument of public policy, into an effective control tool.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE METHODOLOGY A RETAIL TURNOVER PLANNING: THEORETICAL ASPECTS

A. A. Bakhireva — 2024-06-07

The theoretical developments of improving the methodology the planning retail turnover are presented in the article. The importance of retail trade is due to the fact that it is the most important economic category and reflects the level of satisfaction of consumer demand. Retail trade is a type of entrepreneurial activity that provides the economy with a lot of jobs, is budget-forming and occupies a leading position in terms of contribution by gross national product (GDP). However, high dynamism and extreme uncertainty of environmental factors significantly reduce the reliability of planned retail trade indicators. The issues of developing methods for planning retail turnover that meet the challenges of our time are becoming particularly relevant. To solve this problem, the authors proposed a two-dimensional classification of retail turnover. The primary sign of differentiation is the level of satisfaction of consumer demand by retail turnover in the context of planned product groups. A secondary sign of differentiation is the elasticity of demand for goods by income. In the context of the macrogroups obtained in this way, a planning toolkit is proposed. The classification of retail turnover seems relevant and necessary, taking into account the ability of a trade organization to satisfy consumer demand with available inventories and the dependence of turnover on consumer incomes, the use of appropriate planning tools. This will ensure not only the reliability of the plan's indicators, but also the ability to dynamically manage the risks of not achieving them, create conditions and reasonable confidence in the implementation of the plan.

METHODOLOGY FOR ASSESSING IMPORT DEPENDENCE OF PRODUCTION OF AN INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISE

E. A. Gvozdeva — 2024-06-07

In the modern realities of the Russian economy, the problem of assessing the import dependence of an industrial enterprise is of particular importance. The high level of import dependence in the context of the sanctions policy of Western countries creates a threat to the economic security of an economic entity. At the same time, the methodological aspects of analyzing import dependence at the micro level remain insufficiently studied.

The author has developed methodological tools for analyzing the import dependence of production at an industrial enterprise. In order to assess the degree of import dependence of production, it is proposed to use economic indicators — “import intensity of material resources”, “import intensity of fixed production assets”, “integral indicator of import intensity (import dependence) of production”. The article formulates a definition of the concept of import intensity of production of an industrial enterprise, presents an algorithm for calculating the integral indicator of import dependence of production and defines its criterion values.

The presented methodology can be used to assess the degree of import dependence of the output of both individual types of products and the enterprise as a whole.

DIAGNOSTICS BY POPULATION OF THE CURRENT STATE OF IN THE HEALTH SYSTEM THE REGIONS

O. S. Koshevoy — 2024-06-07

The development and improvement of the healthcare system of the Russian Federation is receiving constant attention from the legislative and executive authorities. And if the success in this activity is obvious for the donor regions, which include 23 subjects of the Russian Federation, where the healthcare system can afford serious material and financial investments aimed at improving the indicators of the healthcare system. For the rest of the Russian regions, despite the assistance of federal authorities, investments in healthcare are significantly inferior to donor regions. At the same time, even on a regional scale, there is a significant unevenness among donor regions in the indicators characterizing the health care system. Based on this, the state of the healthcare system on a regional scale is an urgent task. As research on the healthcare system in the regions accumulates, it is possible to begin forming generalized directions and, as a result, criteria for the quality of the healthcare system in subsidized regions.

THE STATE AND DEVELOPMENT TRENDS OF THE FUEL AND ENERGY COMPLEX OF THE REPUBLIC OF TYVA

A. Ch. Kylgyday — 2024-06-07

The article examines the fuel and energy complex of the Republic of Tyva, assesses the state and development trends of the regional fuel and energy complex. There is a significant potential for its development by attracting investment in the developmat of large coal reserves, estimated at 11 billion tons. Also, the border status of the Republic of Tyva is a competitive advantage of the region for the transit of electricity to Mongolia and an important link in the project for the construction of the Euro-Asian energy bridge Russia-Mongolia-China.

The Republic of Tyva (Tuva) is remote, isolated from the main economic centers, relatively underdeveloped, subsidized, border subject of the Russian Federation (the presence of a border with Mongolia). Having enormous volumes of coal reserves suitable for smelting metals and generating electricity, Tuva is experiencing heat and energy shortages. The problems of shortage of thermal energy and unreliable supply of electricity to the entire region require the development of qualified feasibility studies and significant investments. When considering the problems of developing the fuel and energy base of the region, it is necessary to take into account the current situation in the territorial context and the conjuncture of the energy market of the adjacent territories.

THE MAIN RISKS AND FEATURES OF THE RUSSIAN OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY

V. A. Nezbudey — 2024-06-07

The Russian oil and gas industry basically has certain features, as well as the risks of doing business, among which we can note weather conditions affecting the cost of production, the volatility of the price of a barrel of oil exported from the Russian Federation, the withdrawal of foreign companies associated with the extractive industry from the domestic market, environmental risk that accompanies all oil companies in in the world, significant changes in the process of selling Russian hydrocarbons that have arisen under the influence of sanctions pressure from Western countries, which led to a reorientation to other markets, as well as to the emergence of a discount on the sale of domestic oil. The risks also include the adoption of domestic hydrocarbons by large importing countries, the transition to a “green” economy, which may subsequently lead to the spread of this practice to other countries and, as a result, to a decrease in demand for hydrocarbons in the world as a whole. Also among the risks is the potential withdrawal of the UAE from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, which will allow one of the major players in the hydrocarbon market to produce without any restrictions in volumes and this could affect the global oil market.

The identification of the main risks will allow us to further identify areas that should be carefully considered when assessing economic security, since on their basis it will be possible to make an assumption about which business results will change more than others, what type of change should be expected. It will also make it possible to further adjust the applied methodology for assessing economic security, if certain factors significantly affect all enterprises in the industry and, therefore, are able to significantly change the overall level of economic security of most companies.

EVENTS: A STRATEGIC TOOL FOR DEVELOPING EVENT TOURISM

A. G. Akhundova — 2024-03-07

In the modern world, event tourism is becoming increasingly popular and in demand, offering opportunities for the development of the tourism industry and attracting visitors. One of the key factors contributing to its growth is the effective use of events. Events, or activities, have become an integral part of travel, attracting tourists of various interests and ages. Whether they are festivals, conferences, sports events, or cultural holidays, events have a tremendous impact on the tourism industry. They are not just random parties — they are magnets for travelers, creating unforgettable experiences and inspiring adventures. Events reflect the spirit and culture of regions, serving as not only tourist attractions but also powerful factors of economic, socio-cultural, and environmental influence. They act as catalysts for the development of event tourism, guiding travelers to new horizons and enriching the lives of local communities. The organization and execution of events are important strategic tools for the development of event tourism. In this connection, there is a need for a professional approach to organizing and analyzing the results of events in order to achieve maximum benefits for regions and tourist destinations. The aim of this article is to analyze the key aspects of event tourism and highlight the importance and role of events in attracting tourists and developing the tourism industry.

INVINMENTAL PROBLEMS OF REGIONAL ECONOMY OF SOME TERRITORIES OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

L. N. Babkina — 2024-03-07

The article discusses the most pressing problems of reducing the quality of some components of the environment (natural) in federal districts — macroregions of the Russian Federation, which require their solution. An analysis of the level of atmospheric air pollution by emissions of harmful and polluting substances from stationary sources, based on data from annual state statistical reporting, showed that over the previous 11 years, the minimum volume of emissions was noted in the North Caucasus macroregion, and the maximum in the Siberian macroregion. The next one is the problem of pollution of the seas of the Arctic Ocean with wastewater from Russian rivers flowing into these seas, containing such a substance that pollutes the water basin of the entire planet as microplastic. The largest volume of such polluted waters was noted in the Arkhangelsk region (Northwestern macroregion), Krasnoyarsk region and Tomsk region (Siberian macroregion), and the smallest in the Kostroma region (Central macroregion) and the Republic of Tyva (Siberian macroregion). The problem of preserving and restoring such a component of the natural environment as forests, including in the protected zone of Lake Baikal and the volcanoes of the Kamchatka Peninsula, is debatable. An analysis of plans for the construction of several waste processing complexes and waste processing plants in the North-Western macroregion is aimed at identifying possibilities for solving the problem of a future reduction in the volume of such a component of the natural environment as anthropogenic waste. To solve some problems, the authors propose specific measures.

LOGISTICS OF EXPORT DELIVERY IN THE CONTEXT OF CROSS-BORDER TRADE

S. N. Bocharov — 2024-03-07

The article is devoted to one of the aspects of the formation of new export logistics, capable of responding to the challenges of a turbulent global economy. The authors analyze modern logistics problems of export supplies. Particular attention is paid to exports as an integral part of cross-border trade. The authors dwell not only on the general problems of logistics of export activities, but also identify the specifics of the logistics of cross-border trade, choosing as the object of study the countries of Greater Altai, which includes the border territories of the Russian Federation, Mongolia, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the People's Republic of China.

The study analyzed the dynamics and structure of exports of the Russian Federation and the Altai Territory, and showed the features of new logistics in a turbulent economy. Given the high share of logistics costs in the overall cost structure of the production and sale of exported products, cross-border trade has advantages when it is carried out with lower logistics costs due to shorter transport routes and transportation times. The advantages of cross-border export include the absence of transit through the territories of third countries, which significantly reduces risks and simplifies information and customs logistics. Stable supply chains in cross-border trade in the Altai Territory, which have emerged as a result of many years of cooperation with the countries of Greater Altai, also help reduce risks and logistics costs.

CORRELATION ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF SANCTIONS ON STOCK AND INDUSTRY INDICES OF COUNTRIES INITIATING SANCTIONS AND COUNTRIES UNDER SANCTIONS

A. G. Zinovyev — 2024-03-07

This paper presents the analysis and assessment of the impact on financial markets of the consequences of sanctions imposed at the initiative of the United States and the European Union in March 2014. One of the factors for sustainable economic development in the context of imposed sanctions is the stability of financial markets. To assess the consequences of the impact of sanctions on financial markets, we performed a correlation analysis of stock and industry indices of countries initiating sanctions and countries which are subject of sanctions, including Russia. The use of correlation analysis using current data made it possible to determine the presence, direction and strength of the relationship, and to assess the statistical significance of the obtained data in the context of leading stock and industry indices. For a detailed analysis of the impact of sanctions measures, calculations were carried out using a market model for assessing the returns of stock and industry indices, taking into account the leading factor. There is a close connection between the selected industry indices and the majority of industry indices of the countries initiating sanctions and, at the same time, there is a weak connection with the industry indices of countries subject to sanctions, including Russia. The study showed the insignificant effectiveness of the impact of sanctions measures on the Russian financial market. Based on the correlation analysis carried out, further research will allow to assess not only the impact of sanctions on the economies of the countries on which these sanctions are imposed, but also to analyze the reverse effect for the countries initiating the sanctions.

INCENTIVING PERSONAL OF BUDGETARY ORGANIZATIONS BASE ON THE USE OF KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

I. V. Kovaleva — 2024-03-07

The article discusses issues of motivation and incentives for personnel of budgetary organizations. An analysis of recruiting companies showed that wages are an important incentive to perform work duties, capable of encouraging employees to achieve assigned tasks with high dedication and a focus on productive, efficient work. A well-designed and thoughtful system of personnel incentives has a beneficial effect on the quality and results of the work performed, and promotes creative and professional activity. The main requirements include higher education and (or) professional retraining, work experience in the areas where professional activities are carried out; the absence of outstanding or unexpunged convictions for crimes, as well as the presence of Russian citizenship. Additional requirements for personnel of budgetary organizations include — compliance with the Code of Ethics and Official Conduct of Public Sector Employees, detailed in accordance with the powers of state authorities (state bodies) or local governments provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation. The implementation of key performance indicators in the budgetary sector must be agreed upon with an assessment of the quality of financial management, which will significantly improve the rating of the main managers of budget funds, which has an impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of the activities of government bodies.

TRANSFORMATION OF THE BUSINESS MODEL OF TOURISM ACTIVITIES WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY

A. V. Platov — 2024-03-07

Thanks to the ability of blockchain to form transparency of processes, it can become the basis of fundamental transformations in business relations in the tourism industry and radical transformations of business processes. In order for the potential of the blockchain in the tourism industry to be revealed most effectively, it is necessary to rebuild tourist business models based on it. The purpose of the presented research was to develop a conceptual business model of tourism industry enterprises operating on the basis of the blockchain platform. To achieve this goal, a redesign of the Osterwalder Canvas business model in the tourism sector was implemented on a blockchain platform. The main method of data collection was an expert survey conducted in the format of semistructured personal interviews. 12 respondents who are experts in the field of blockchain and tourism were selected to conduct the survey. The results of the study are reflected in the format of a business model. This study has several theoretical conclusions: firstly, the introduction of blockchain technology in tourism creates a new industry business model, secondly, the proposed model considers the tourism business market from a systemic point of view, thirdly, blockchain creates a unique opportunity to meet the needs of stakeholders and clients in the tourism sector through peer-to-peer interaction. The practical significance of the study is expressed in determining the important role of disintermediation and smart contracts in the tourism business model on the blockchain platform.

NON-FINANCIAL REPORTING: PRACTICE OF GENERATING AND MONITORING ESG DATA

I. N. Sannikova — 2024-03-07

The implementation of the sustainable development agenda is driving growing interest in the formation and disclosure of ESG data in companies» non-financial reporting. Currently, reporting in the field of sustainable development in the Russian Federation is at the stage of development, but already has many years of experience in the formation of estimated values and the application of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. This article analyzes the dynamics of non-financial reporting of Russian companies and identifies the main trends in its development. A content analysis of non-financial reporting items was carried out using a score in the context of ESG components: environmental, economic and social. The results of the study, on the one hand, allow us to conclude that the reporting indicators of leading companies in the field of sustainable development are highly complete, clear and reliable, but, on the other hand, they indicate low comparability of the reporting indicators of different economic entities. The lack of uniform approaches and standards for developing the structure and composition of non-financial reporting indicators is the main obstacle to its interpretation by various groups of stakeholders.

IMPROVING WORKING CONDITIONS FOR WORKERS INSTALLING MONUMENTS IN RITUAL ECONOMY

V. A. Senchenko — 2024-03-07

The ritual industry in everyday life is emotionally associated with mourning. Оccupational safety issues in this industry are not discussed as widely in society as in other industries. The ritual industry does not have its own sectoral labor protection rules, therefore, labor protection issues are regulated only by intersectoral labor protection rules.

Memorial structures in terms of weight, as a rule, exceed the maximum permissible norms for single lifting and moving weights for men. Therefore, when lifting and moving memorial structures, means of small mechanization are required.

In large cities, burial in cemeteries is very dense and the passages between the graves are getting narrower and narrower. Therefore, at present, an essential requirement for the means of mechanization for the transportation

of monuments is the requirement that the dimensions of transport mechanisms correspond to the dimensions of narrow passages. Various types of mechanization equipment (trolleys) for transporting monuments are presented on the Russian market, but most of them are wider in size than necessary.

This article examines the working conditions and risks of a worker installing monuments in a ritual household. The article presents technical solutions for moving memorial structures around the cemetery using small-scale mechanization tools to reduce the severity of workers» labor. Reducing the severity of workers» work will reduce the number of.

ANALYSIS OF DEMOGRAPHIC INDICATORS IN AGRICULTURE-BASED AND RAW MATERIALS-BASED REGIONS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

S. V. Danilova — 2023-12-08

In recent decades, there has been some reduction in the working age population in most regions of the Russian Federation (influenced by the “demographic pit” of the 90s of the 20th century). The decline in the population is certainly a negative factor in the socio-economic development of any territory. The present study conducted a comparative analysis of the main demographic indicators of the two regions — agriculture-based (Altai region) and raw materials-based (Khanty-Mansi autonomous region — Ugra). The choice of these constituent entities of the Russian Federation is due to their specialization, industry, agriculture, food industry, oil and gas production are the main groups of economic progress of the entire state. The analysis of demographic processes was based on the data posted in official open sources (Federal State Statistics Service).

According to the authors, without the sufficient number of working age population, without maintaining the optimal ratio of men and women, the level of marriage, the number of women of fertile age, the development rate of the territories will decrease. Preserving the population, increasing the birth rate and life expectancy is the main task of the authorities, which is reflected in the programs of socio-economic development approved by all levels of government of the Russian Federation.

IMPACT OF A HEALTHY WORKING ENVIRONMENT ON CARPET WEAVING INDUSTRY GROWTH

M. M. F. Haidari — 2023-12-08

The art of carpet weaving is an area of culture which development traces back to a century-old tradition in the countries of the East. This industry has survived to present day and plays a significant role for the economies of Central Asia and Iran, making up a large share of their export supplies. The scientists from different countries study the history of carpet weaving goods in the context of their cultural and artistic peculiarities: ornaments, signs, symbols, etc. However, this industry is primary considered as a source of creating objects of decorative and applied art. Only a few researchers address the current economic problems of the industry, in particular, the issues of labour organization and working conditions.

Technology and organization of handmade carpet making and working conditions of craftsmen in Afghanistan have not changed much for many centuries: one carpet is created within 2-4 months by backbreaking work of a group of 3-5 Afghan craftswomen. The industry faces significant competition from cheap artificial carpets from Pakistan. Experts note a drop in the export potential of carpet weaving in Afghanistan, and some even talk about the problem of fading of the ancient craft traditions in the country. These circumstances determined the relevance of the topic.

The article describes the findings of the fieldwork-based research devoted to investigating the impact of a healthy working environment on the carpet weaving industry growth. The aim of this study is to identify the factors affecting a healthy working environment and establish the correlation between them on the example of carpet weaving industry.

The findings are the results of the survey conducted in all carpet weaving companies in the Akchakh district of Jawzjan province in northern Afghanistan. This rural region has an ancient tradition of carpet weaving.

INVESTIGATION OF THE DYNAMICS OF RETAIL TRADE TURNOVER AND PUBLIC CATERING IN MOSCOW IN THE CONDITIONS OF TURBULENCE OF THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT

N. M. Suray — 2023-09-11

The article examines the dynamics of retail trade and catering turnover in the largest metropolis of Russia — Moscow. The authors found that both indicators respond quickly and clearly to changes in the external environment.

Based on the analysis of time series of 2015–2022 indicators, the disturbing effect of economic sanctions, the

Covid-19 pandemic, as well as a special military operation is estimated. The high ability of economic indicators to recover quickly (within a year) after the cessation of disturbing influences has been confirmed. Using the correlation matrix method, close relationships between the variables of time, average salary, retail trade turnover and catering were revealed. Regression equations linking these variables are obtained, after which the effect of retail and catering turnover growth caused by an increase in wages is quantified. The obtained regression equations can be used to predict the values of the considered variables on the horizon the lead time is 2–3 years. The growth of the turnover of Moscow public catering is ensured thanks to the development of the social nutrition system. With its further development, it is advisable to adjust the assortment policy, focusing on a broader offer of dairy products to visitors, since their consumption by Russians has not yet reached the rational norm.

PRIORITIES OF INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ANGARA-YENISEI MACROREGION

G. I. Popodko — 2023-09-11

This article examines the processes of forming new territorial entities — macro-regions, which unite regions with different economic and social potential. Despite the prospects for macro-regions development, which can give an impetus to the economic and social growth of both the individual territory and the country as a whole, many limitations hinder these processes. The Angara-Yenisei macro-region, which includes the Krasnoyarsk Krai, the Irkutsk Region, the Republic of Tuva, and the Republic of Khakassia, currently does not represent a single economic space. Each incorporated region develops according to its own strategic trends determined before they were united in AER. In order to develop a unified strategy for the development of the macro-region, it is proposed to identify the priorities of social and economic development of each of the regions based on an assessment of its inclusiveness. Indicators of inclusive development, combined into blocks — growth and development, inclusiveness, intergenerational equality and sustainability — allowed us to justify the development priorities of each of the regions. The main priority for all regions is to improve the standard of living and reduce poverty among the population. Along with other priority areas, this should be the basis for the overall strategy for the development of the Angara-Yenisei macro-region.

D. Yu. Popolzin — 2023-09-06

A prerequisite for the stable progressive development of the economy at any level is the predictability of the behavior of its elements. In modern conditions, the economy of the region can be affected by both external factors and internal changes.

The purpose of the study is to identify short-term and long-term factors affecting the development of key indicators of socio-economic development for the region. The article presents the results of modeling the influence of these factors on the indicators of the main economic sectors of the region and the social sphere.

The obtained results are provided by the application of econometric methodology. In particular, the methods of checking for a unit root are used, taking into account possible nonlinearity, seasonality and the presence of structural breaks, Granger causality, nonlinear cointegration relationship.

Thus, the hypothesis of a nonlinear long-term relationship between nominal accrued wages and the consumer price index has been confirmed, a long-term relationship between the coefficients of natural and migration growth, a causal relationship between the development of the main sectors of the economy of the region with the external price environment has been revealed.

Further steps are proposed to develop the results obtained, in particular, in the development, modification and control of the implementation of strategic planning documents of the region.

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN THE CONDITIONS OF ECONOMIC SYSTEM TRANSFORMATION

T. A. Rudakova — 2023-09-06

The modern world order and geopolitical risks have caused large-scale changes that have spread to all spheres of the economy and the behavior of subjects of socio-economic activity.

The world market as an integral part of the world economy, on the one hand, is a platform for the exchange between participants in trade operations, based on stable interstate commodity-money relations, on the other hand, it is a sphere of collision of emerging contradictions between participants in market trade and the struggle for competitive markets. Violation of international economic, interregional and intersubjective relations due to changes in the value chain, disproportion in the distribution of value between participants in trade relations limits the possibility of using previously formed mechanisms and instruments of international cooperation and becomes a factor in the search for new points of contact and new partners in the processes of international and interregional interaction.

The relevance of the study is dictated by the key task of national and international development — the transformation of the economic system, ensuring its stability and viability in the face of turbulence and uncertainty, accumulated experience, opportunities and limitations.

The scientific novelty of the study lies in the formation of new views on the problems of organizing economic relations among participants in the global market.

BUSINESS ACTIVITY IN THE REGIONS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

N. V. Trofimova — 2023-09-06

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the socio-economic development of any country serve as a kind of trigger and generator of structural changes in the economy and society. Small businesses are the most receptive to innovative ideas and are ready to implement them. On the one hand, small and medium-sized businesses act as a catalyst for the economic growth of the entire country, on the other hand, they implement a number of social tasks, the key of which is to promote employment and ensure a decent standard of living for citizens. The SME sector employs more than 25 % of the country's able-bodied population. At the same time, the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are seriously differentiated in terms of the level of development of SMEs, in some regions the potential of the SMEs is used inefficiently.

Given the current conditions for the functioning of the Russian economy and the fact that small and mediumsized businesses play an important role in its development, the study of the level of entrepreneurial activity in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the search for ways to increase it is very relevant.

The article carried out the clustering of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation according to indicators of business demography (“birth rate”, liquidation of organizations), entrepreneurial activity, as well as an indicator reflecting the current opportunities for expanding entrepreneurial potential in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The place of the Republic of Bashkortostan among other subjects of the Russian Federation in terms of the level of entrepreneurial activity has been determined.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE MIGRATION PROCESSES ON THE POPULATION DYNAMIC OF ALTAY REGION

N. A. Shevchuk — 2023-09-06

The lack of human resources is a serious problem for Altay region that negatively affecting the economic development of the region. The migration processes are one of the factors that exert influence on the condition of the human resources and act as an indicator of the social and economic development of the region. The migration of the population becomes a leverage of the economic growth in the host regions. At the same time the outflow of qualified staff personnel from the territory of the donor regions is akin to a reduction in investment in their economy.

The study found that during the specified period, the number of migrants arriving in the region decreased by 8.3 %, while the migration outflow decreased by 56.4 %.

Arriving internal migrants is distributed in approximately equal proportions between the urban and rural populations, and most of them leave the countryside.

More than 90 % of international migrants arriving in the region are CIS citizens.

To a greater extent, people of active working and reproductive age (30–39 years) leave the region. For every man who left the region, there were 3 women who left.

The conducted research allows us to prioritize the formation and implementation of the migration policy of the region. The activities aimed at increasing its economic potential are coming to the fore. Special attention should also be paid to the expansion and improvement of infrastructure in the broad sense of the word, conducting systematic monitoring of migration processes, development of regional systems of higher and secondary special education, immigration from abroad of qualified foreign specialists, as well as compatriots wishing to return to their homeland.

ESTIMATES OF THE ECONOMIC GROWTH OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION USING THE INDICATOR OF GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT FOR 1991-2021

O. V. Shumilin — 2023-06-16

Today it is difficult to imagine an analysis of the country's economic security without assessing its economic growth. In educational and scientific publications, when assessing the economic growth of the state, the gross domestic product indicator (hereinafter referred to as GDP) is used, perhaps the main indicator of the economic growth of our state.

The assessment of the country's economic growth involves the use of a system of indicators, on the basis of which a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the factors of ensuring the vital activity of the state is possible. The purpose of the system of indicators of economic growth of the state is to propose measures to create a clear state policy designed to minimize the risk of threats to economic security and ensure stable and sustainable development of the political situation and the progressive growth of the country's economy.

This article presents the actual values of the GDP of the economic growth of the Russian Federation in the form of time series in various estimates, namely, in current and constant prices, as well as in the national currency — Russian rubles and US dollars — changes from 1991 to 2021.

In the article, along with a standard set of dynamics indicators, calculations of absolute and relative accelerations of the time series are presented, which make it possible to comprehensively consider the processes of changes in the economic growth of our state.

ON THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF THE SPORTS RESERVE TRAINING SYSTEM AT THE MUNICIPAL LEVEL IN MODERN CONDITIONS

I. I. Samsonov — 2023-06-16

The article is devoted to the study of a topic that is of current importance for municipal sports schools that implement additional general educational programs in the field of physical culture and sports as their main activity. The harmonization of legislation on physical culture and sports and on education that has begun since 01/01/2023 is restructuring not only the form and content of the implemented sports reserve training programs, but also their financial support. In the absence of a unified point of view on the balance of changes in terms of harmonizing the legislation on physical culture and sports and education, a contradictory situation arose regarding the ratio of the stages of sports training with the powers of municipalities on local issues. The lack of a unified position on this issue gives rise to doubt and dissatisfaction among representatives of the leadership of local governments and the administrative and managerial apparatus of sports schools, turning into the formation of manic phobias. The authors, on the basis of study, come to the conclusion about the root causes of contradictions, possible options for the development of the current situation and ways for the further development of municipal physical culture and sports.

DIGITALIZATION OF MUNICIPAL AS A STRATEGY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT (EXAMPLE THE CITY OF BARNAUL)

A. A. Martens — 2023-06-16

MARKETING AS A FACTOR OF PROPORTIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (A PROBLEM REQUIRING RESEARCH)

V. I. Belyaev — 2023-06-09

All problems can be divided into two groups: problems that require solutions and problems that require research. The second group includes complex hidden problems, which are sometimes difficult to identify, designate, define, describe, and establish the causes. In a market economy, this is the problem of ensuring the proportionality of production and consumption, both in general, in the country's economy, and in a separate commodity flow. The formation of production and marketing infrastructure in market conditions is stochastic in nature, that is, it is carried out in the form of spontaneous interactions of sellers and buyers, as well as producers among themselves. As a result, the formation of the proportions of the development of the country's economy is formed mainly on the decisions of enterprises on the volume of production of products and their offer to the market, taking into account the volume of demand and competitive interactions. It is impossible to make a quantitative forecast for either of them. This is the essence of the problem that requires research. The article, with reference to many literary sources, provides a justification for the possibility of using marketing as a management function to streamline the structure and content of large (national) economic systems and increase their efficiency.

IDENTIFICATION OF NEEDS IN THE PROCESS OF REPRODUCTION OF THE NATURAL FORM OF THE PUBLIC PRODUCT

S. I. Dobrydnev — 2023-06-09

The article is devoted to justifying the importance of self-study of the natural side of the process of reproduction of a public product and justifying methodological approaches to its research. The authors note that in modern reality there are important socio-political, cultural and psychological processes related to the production of a natural product, various kinds of socio-economic experiments related to consumption management are observed, which remain out of sight of economic science. The processes noted can be considered as a transition from managing the production of life benefits to managing their consumption, which affects the volume and structure of the natural product produced. As a methodological approach, the definition of utility as a designated need has been proposed for the first time. The stages of the process of determining the demand for a natural form of a labor product are considered. The connection of needs with lifestyle and worldview, as two sides of culture, is shown. On this basis, the approach to culture as the final factor of reproduction of a natural social product is justified.

FOOD COMPLEX OF RUSSIA: ANALYTICAL REVIEW, RISKS AND THREATS, PRIORITIES AND PROSPECTS

A. V. Kotarev — 2023-06-09

Currently, Russia is facing unprecedented sanctions restrictions (at the beginning of 2023, more than 10.5 thousand), as well as military-political resistance from more than 50 developed countries of the world, led by the United States, EU member states, Canada, Japan and Australia. In this tense situation, it is important to maintain socio-economic, social and political stability. One of the key factors for the successful implementation of this strategic setting is the effective functioning of the country's food complex in the context of ensuring the necessary level of food, economic and national security. Russia has a high potential for the production of agricultural products, raw materials and food (natural and climatic, material and technological, research, innovation and investment, transport and logistics, personnel, organizational and managerial, regulatory and legal). About 55% of the world's chernozem, 1/5 of fresh water reserves are concentrated in our country, there are extensive forest areas that contain the negative effects of climate change, in addition, today Russia produces about 25 million tons (in active substance) of mineral fertilizers. Thus, the research topic is relevant and has a high level of perspective and utilitarian significance. The paper assessed the current state of the food supply of our country, noted the features and problematic aspects of the domestic agricultural market, also proposed promising solutions and highlighted strategic guidelines for the development of the domestic food complex of Russia.

I. V. Maratkanova — 2023-06-09

The article presents the methodology and results of the typology of the regions of the Siberian Federal District in terms of the income and property potential of the population. The authors use the method of multivariate classification — cluster analysis, the application of which in this study was carried out in stages using the Statistica software package. To measure the level of income and property potential of the population, a system of indicators was used, including income, as well as the provision of movable and immovable property to the population. As a result, the authors identified three groups of regions with different levels of income and property potential of the population. An analysis was carried out in which each resulting cluster is compared with the average values for the Siberian Federal District and the Russian Federation, as well as for indicators of the income and property potential of the population. The authors focus on the significant heterogeneity of the regions of the Siberian Federal District in terms of income and property indicators and point out the need for a differentiated approach when making decisions in the field of evidence-based state policy and a long-term strategy for the dynamic growth of the welfare of the population.

TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY: CONTRADICTIONS, PROBLEMS, PRIORITIES

T. A. Rudakova — 2023-06-09

The processes taking place in all subsystems without exception that form the structure of modern society have become the reason for the attention of the scientific community to the study of contradictions, problems and priorities for the development of the territory of the municipality as a socio-economic system of a complex nature. It is the complex nature of the system that gives rise to a large number of questions that arise in the process of a comprehensive study of territorial and unique features, difficulties in choosing research methods and tools for solving problems at the stages of developing and implementing a territorial development strategy. The individual characteristics of a particular municipality and the goals of the territory development strategy set tasks for the developers, the solution of which depends on the correct choice of priorities, taking into account emerging barriers and limiting factors in the implementation process. The authors systematized legal acts as the foundation for building a territory development strategy, approaches to classifying contradictions on the scale of the economic system, substantiated the need to adjust the strategy as a medium-term and long-term task to the challenges of the new time, including technological breakthroughs in management and information and communication space.

OPTIMIZATION OF THE PROCESS OF PROVIDING THE COMPANY WITH SPECIAL SHOES BASED ON DATA ON ITS ISSUANCE AND INDICATORS OF IMPRORER PLANNING

V. A. Senchenko — 2023-06-09

Timely and full provision of employees of enterprises with personal protective equipment is an important task in the occupational health and safety management system. Since the costs of large companies for the purchase of PPE amount to impressive amounts, companies seek to optimize costs by centralizing purchases and purchasing PPE at wholesale prices. As a result of centralized purchases, the purchase price of a unit of goods decreases, however, a number of problems arise when planning purchases related to the variety of anthropometric data of employees of the enterprise and the time lag for the supply of products.

This article discusses the problems and approaches to solving them when providing employees with personal protective equipment for their feet (special shoes) on the example of PJSC «RTK». The data on the issue of shoes from the warehouse for 3 years are given, reflecting the picture of the deficit and surplus of the demand for standard sizes of the shoe range at the enterprise. Attempts have been made to analyze the available data array. Possible reasons and indicators of incorrect planning (provision) of PPE are formulated. Approaches to further development of optimization of PPE planning are proposed.

PROSPECTS FOR THE TECHNOLOGICAL RE-EQUIPMENT OF INDUSTRY IN THE EUROPEAN AND ASIAN PARTS OF RUSSIA

A. V. Sokolov — 2023-06-09

The article assesses the state of industry and manufacturing in the European and Asian parts of Russia. The prospects for the development of industry as a whole and its manufacturing industries in the near future are assessed from the point of view of realizing the intentions to create technological sovereignty and increase demand for domestic industrial products. It is possible that this may entail shifts in the territorial distribution of processing, in particular, due to a shift in development priorities to the Asian part of the country, especially since recently there has been an increase in Asian landmarks in geopolitical terms. With the help of calculations based on the panel data model, a quantitative assessment of the impact of investment dynamics on the dynamics of industrial growth for the constituent entities of the Russian Federation over a long period was obtained. Calculations showed that, despite the fact that investments in industrial production in the Asian part of Russia grew at a faster rate than in the European part, due to their lower return, they did not lead to a fundamental change in the territorial structure of industrial production. With the help of aggregated indicators calculated by the method of principal components, an assessment was made of the potential of manufacturing industries in the macroregions of the country. Based on the values of the calculated indicators, it was concluded that there have been no significant positive changes in the state of processing of the Asian part of the country over the last decade of the current century, despite significant investment in its development in 2018-2021. In general, the overall potential of the manufacturing industries in this part of the country cannot yet be considered as essential in achieving the emerging strategic tasks.

The article considers the driving forces and factors that have a significant impact on the dynamics of trade relations between the Altai Krai and other regions. An assessment is made of the degree of trade's closeness and economic ties between the Altai Krai and other Russian regions, a detailed analysis of their role and place in the exchange of goods with the Altai Krai in 1990-2020 is carried out. The analysis was carried out in two main perspectives of interregional trade — import and export of products, taking into account its commodity structure on the example of two time periods: in the period 2001-2016, as well as in the modern period 2017-2020. The conclusion is made about the importance of demand for the products of Altai manufacturers from the regions of Russia as the most important driver of growth in agriculture and industry. A long-term stable trend of the predominance of imports of industrial and technical products into the region and exports of consumer goods from the region has been revealed. It is proved that the Altai Krai is extremely important for the development of production in a number of Russian regions, despiteits sales market's narrowness and limited domestic demand. The main periods in the development of trade and interregional economic relations, which differ significantly in intensity, are identified. The dynamics of interregional commodity exchange of the region, which occurred under the influence of shifts in its sectoral structure and the structure of domestic demand, is revealed. The features of interregional integration processes in the tradesphere in different chronological periods are revealed and characterized.

EXPLORING THE APPLICABILITY OF OPTION THEORY IN VALUING ESG-FOCUSED BUSINESSES

D. Yu. Zakhmatov — 2023-03-15

The interest in promoting business sustainability through the adoption of ESG practices has gained widespread support from various stakeholders, including government agencies, investors, consultants, and researchers. This movement towards achieving environmental, social, and economic sustainability not only aligns with global objectives but also offers potential benefits for businesses by generating additional profits for shareholders. However, concerns have been raised about the efficacy of investing in ESG practices and associated risks. The skepticism towards ESG investments is mainly due to their low payback rates and unprofitability as measured by the traditional financial model of discounted cash flows (DCF). It is essential to consider the limitations of the DCF model, including its short forecasting period, non-linearity of pricing, non-zero value of shares, and susceptibility to volatility, which may not fully account for the unique features of ESG investments and enterprise shares. In this article, we investigate the hypothesis of using option theory to evaluate ESG-focused businesses, including the conditions for its application and a review of the relevant mathematical models. We propose further research into practical tools that can aid in understanding and analyzing the predictive effectiveness of option theory.

INNOVATIVE AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES OF DOMESTIC ENGINEERING: STATUS AND TRENDS

O. V. Askanova — 2023-03-15

In today’s reality, Russia’s technological vulnerability problem requires an urgent solution. Therefore, intensifying investment and innovation activities in the mechanical engineering sector, the main system-forming sector of the economy, is crucial for the survival of our country. The author recognizes the close interdependence of investment and innovation processes and aims to conduct a comparative and correlation analysis based on official data from the Federal State Statistics Service for one type of activity related to mechanical engineering.

The study reveals that the crisis in Russian engineering, which began in the 1990s, is ongoing, with extremely low levels of innovation and investment. These factors are insufficient for the technical and technological re-equipment of the country’s machine-building sector. Additionally, the depreciation of partially and completely worn-out equipment exacerbates the crisis.

The author believes that the development of mechanical engineering and related sectors in the Russian economy can only occur when the ruling elites implement a radical change in the direction of state policy. This change should prioritize the integrated use of state support measures to systematically address the identified problem. The author emphasizes that such a change in policy should follow a rhetoric of innovation and investment by the ruling elites.

EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT VECTOR: RETROSPECTIVE AND OUTLOOK

N. M. Abramov — 2023-03-15

The continuous transformation of the global market poses challenges for national economies, requiring the formation and strengthening of integration processes. To analyze the development of socio-economic relations within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), the authors conducted a retrospective analysis, statistical and structural analysis of key indicators, and assessed prospects for further cooperation. The study confirmed the hypothesis of insufficient competitiveness of national economies, weak foreign trade relations, and an inconsistent regulatory environment that limits export opportunities. The authors recommend shifting the focus of cooperation towards mutual support, ensuring socio-economic and demographic security, and maintaining living standards. The article identifies the main problems of interaction between EAEU member countries and suggests directions for expanding integration ties to increase the effectiveness of cooperation. The authors propose transitioning to a new level of socio-economic development for the EAEU.

V. A. Borodin — 2023-03-15

In recent years, the crisis in the domestic economy, caused by COVID-19 (2019-2020) and the tightening of sanctions imposed by the US government, EU countries, and others, has affected the Russian economy and the economy and social sphere of the Altai Territory. This article aims to identify the dynamics of the region’s economic performance and critical parameters of the social sphere from 2017 to 2022, assess the state of the situation, and make short-term forecasts for its development.

The crisis of the domestic economy in recent years, caused by the COVID-19 (2019-2020) and the tightening of the sanctions imposed by the USA government, EU countries and some others, could not but affect the Russian economy, in particular the economy and social sphere of the Altai Territory. In this article, the authors made an attempt, based on the economic performance of the industries of the region and the critical parameters of the social sphere, to identity the dynamics in the period 2017-2022, to assess the state and short-team forecasts for the development of the situation.

The authors suggest that the way out of the recession is possible through an increase in innovative activity among industrial enterprises, implementation of an import substitution program, development of consumer goods production through investment, and the attraction of savings from the population. By implementing these measures, the authors believe that the Altai economy can recover and improve in the future.

REORGANIZING HIGHER ECONOMIC EDUCATION: EMBRACING PERSONALISM AND MOVING BEYOND THE BOLOGNA PROCESS IN METHODOLOGY AND THEORY

V. I. Kryshka — 2023-03-15

The article presents an evaluation of the current state of economic education’s theoretical “core” and proposes a shift towards a personalistic approach in response to the emergence of a multipolar world in politics. Drawing on research supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR), the article identifies four types of reproduction in the market economic system as the “core” of national economic education: goods, people, man, and knowledge. The adoption of a personalistic approach within these types of reproduction can provide a balance between Western individualism and Eastern holism associated with socialism and communism.

ANALYZING NATURAL AND MIGRATION FACTORS: UNDERSTANDING THE STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS OF ALTAI REGION'S POPULATION

N. A. Shevchuk — 2023-03-15

The demographic decline in Russia began after the collapse of the USSR and was exacerbated by a spiritual crisis. To address these problems, the Conception of the Demographic Policy was adopted for the period up to 2025. This study examines the main stages of the policy and assesses its results in the country as a whole and in the Altai region in particular. The study shows that the decline in population size in the region is primarily due to rural areas, with changes in gender proportions and an increase in the natural population loss coefficient, which is growing at a faster pace among the rural population. The study also assesses the impact of migration on demographic indicators and finds that financial factors are not the only reason for the current situation. To address these demographic challenges, concrete action must be taken at the municipal level, with socio-economic measures incorporated into the policy. Furthermore, it is important to educate the younger generation in patriarchal traditions to ensure long-term solutions.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AS A FACTOR OF THE EFFICIENCY OF INNOVATIVE ACTIVITIES AND ORGANIZATION SECURITY

T. A. Akimochkina — 2022-12-12

Intellectual property management as an integral element of the effective sustainable development of an organization and ensuring its financial security by increasing the cost of capital in an innovative economy is of particular relevance. Taking into account the complexity of organizing the intellectual property management process, as well as insufficiently developed theoretical and methodological approaches and methodological tools, the purpose of the study is to consider the implementation of the intellectual property management process in a company, justify the need for system management and its impact on the effectiveness of innovation. As a result of the study, the authors confirmed that the issues of intellectual property management are related to the theory of sustainable development, since innovative development can significantly save resources, and the organization's economic security strategy, since the organization of effective intellectual property management allows organizations to reduce strategic and financial risks. The effectiveness of innovations largely depends on the conditions for their implementation in the company. Optimal conditions are provided by the intellectual property management system. The scientific novelty of the research is presented in the form of updating and increasing scientific knowledge and methodological recommendations for the implementation of the intellectual property system in an organization. Based on the principles of the process-system approach and modeling methods, the authors propose a model and methodological tools for implementing the intellectual property system at the organization level. The system, in turn, is presented as a process, with the allocation of stages and a description of the content of each stage. The proposed model can be used in the practical activities of the company.

The article reveals modern approaches to assessing the effectiveness of the region's innovation system, which take into account the peculiarities of the socio-economic development of territories. The factors that form the sustainability of the development of the region's economy are analyzed. The concept of the innovative potential of the region as the main element of assessing the effectiveness of the regional innovation system is considered. Approaches to the interpretation of the concept of “efficiency” are studied. The existing methods for evaluating the effectiveness of the functioning of innovative systems in the region are analyzed. The effectiveness of various socioeconomic systems and methods for determining economic efficiency are analyzed. An approach is presented to determine the effectiveness of the innovation system of the region in the conditions of modern economic relations, taking into account regional characteristics. Based on the presented approaches, the innovative activity in the Republic of Bashkortostan is analyzed.

The relevance of the study is determined by the need to accelerate the transition of the Russian economy to the path of technological development in the face of sanctions pressure from Western countries, restrictions on the supply of imported equipment and components. With the successful implementation of this policy, there is an opportunity for strategizing, adjusting and improving the efficiency of the economy. The above facts testify to the timeliness of research into the issues of the effectiveness of innovation activity. For effective management of innovation activities, a qualitative analysis of this area is necessary.

A.G. Akhundova — 2022-12-12

Global trade, already since the end of 2019, has fallen sharply due to the coronavirus pandemic and the restrictions adopted in connection with it. Then, due to the fall in prices on the world oil market, which is the main source of formation of the state budget of the country, there was a sharp drop in revenues, difficulties arose in financing the development of more important areas of the Azerbaijani economy. Problems were especially manifected in improving the socio-economic well-being of the population, indeveloping the infrastructure of the regions, in the industrial sector of the country in the context of improving the technologies used in production activities of domestic enterprises. In fact, the decline in oil prices forced all oil states and enterprises of various vocational orientations to a sharp transition from active economic activity to passive. New mechanisms and reforms are needed to diversify the national economy, since there are a number of problems that impede the implementation of this process and the expansion of the country's foreign economic activity. The article discusses the priority areas of diversification of Azerbaijan's foreign trade, studies the problems, analyzes the volume of exports and imports of the republic by years.

REGIONAL FOOD SECURITY: PROBLEMS OF FORMATION AND IMPLEMENTATION (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE IRKUTSK REGION)

S.V. Belousova — 2022-12-12

The purpose of the work is to analyze regional food security on the example of the Irkutsk region, both in conceptual and practical aspects. The objectives are to specify the basic components of this concept and to establish conditions for monitoring regional food security. The article analyzes the concept of food security, which offers criteria for its provision, including accessibility, reliability, sustainability, independence. Of these four criteria, only two are fixed in the Doctrine of Food Security of Russia with an emphasis on the level of self-sufficiency for 11 types of food without specifying the state of production, resource and other potential providing it and prospects for its development: The importance of creating analytical and information systems for monitoring food security is indisputable, while it is necessary to take into account the regional aspect of assessing this problem. Currently, there is a wide set of indicators for assessing food security, although without methodological support for monitoring and interpreting its results. Using the proposed composition of indicators grouped by four criteria: accessibility, reliability, sustainability, independence, an analysis of the food security of the Irkutsk region was carried out, which showed the criticality of the region in this area. The results of the work are very relevant for the formation of regional economic policy in the field of food security management.
