ECONOMIC THEORY
The article investigates a system-process approach to the analysis of consumer behavior in the context of digital transformations as a multifunctional economic system. The purpose of this approach in the analysis methodology is to identify patterns that stabilize the functionality of the consumption system in the digital economy for the stability and well-coordinated interaction of coupled systems with a unidirectional development vector. Within the framework of this research, based on the study of the perspectives of the system analysis of structures of economic systems, an algorithm of the system-process approach for analyzing the behavior of digital consumers has been developed.
WORLD ECONOMY
Integration processes can be applied to create a global image of business logic and use resources more efficiently. The study of this issue made it possible to describe the state of the transport infrastructure of the Eurasian Economic Union, reveal specific features of this area and note the role of transport in economic relations.
REGIONAL AND SECTORAL ECONOMY
The geopolitical situation of the modern period determines the interest in liquefied natural gas (LNG) both in Russia and abroad. The article presents and substantiates regional factors that ensure optimal performance of the construction process of a liquefied natural gas production line, as well as its storage and transportation processes, which was the purpose of this research. To achieve this goal, the scientific work defines tasks aimed at analyzing, substantiating, selecting and building an optimal production process for using the production capabilities of the region at the enterprises of the oil and gas complex that form its infrastructure. The choice of technological factors is determined by the analysis of available technical parameters and operating conditions using a simulator based on LNG condition management, modeling of a production line with optimal energy consumption and maximum productivity. As a result of the study, the most important process variables and constraints that directly affect the productivity, production, storage and transportation of LNG are highlighted. The identified technological conditions for LNG production largely depend on the approach to process management and its parameters based on the analysis of sensitivity to pressure in the stabilizer column, stabilizer supply temperature, gas temperature, as well as highly qualified specialists as an important factor in the implementation of the corresponding process.
The article investigates social influence as a process of influencing the behavioral and consumer attitudes of young people in the market of "green" food products. The article presents the quantitative study results of young people aged 18 to 23 years, as hypotheses we consider the possibility of having a direct impact on the consumer behavior, as well as changes in consumer behavioral characteristics, which, in turn, will affect their perception of information within the consumer preferences framework. The quantitative study was conducted as part of an online questionnaire, where the respondents were offered questions related to their media preferences, the purchase of "green" food products, as well as involvement in modern fashion trends related to vegetarianism and veganism. Based on the study results, it was concluded that the media impact on consumer behavior does not always lead to direct changes in preferences, but it affects the information perception, even among the part of the audience that, according to the researchers, should be affected the most by such an influence. Suggestions about the direct impact on the consumer behavior of young people through the Internet media are not sufficiently confirmed, and further ways to study this issue are suggested.
MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
When analyzing business processes, the main task of oil and gas sector enterprises is to collect comprehensive information necessary for the formation of strategic, tactical and operational decisions. If we consider the company as a financial flow management system, it is based on economic and financial planning, which plays a key role in the formation and allocation of all types of resources necessary for the operation of the enterprise. This activity covers areas such as financial forecasting, analysis of economic transactions, strategic planning and forecasting, business process modeling, sustainability analysis and other important aspects. The analysis of business processes contributes to the growth of the company, strengthening its position in the market and planning long-term development, acts as a mechanism to attract investment, increase investment attractiveness and influence potential investors, which makes it especially important in conditions of sanction restrictions and uncertainty.
The article investigates the main functions and tasks of strategic controlling of housing and communal services enterprises. It is noted that at the present stage, the construction of effective management systems, including in housing and communal services, is impossible without the use of integrated digital solutions. The improvement of the theory of strategic controlling in housing and communal services has a close relationship with the development and implementation of digitalization elements. The research methods include general scientific methods, analysis of opinions of representatives of the scientific community, heads of housing and communal services and other sectors of the economy. This study is important for the further systematic development of the theory of controlling in terms of developing the concept of strategic controlling of housing and communal services enterprises based on digital solutions.
The relevance of the topic of this article is determined by the importance of maintaining and developing credit cooperation as a niche financial instrument that contributes to the increased availability of financial services for rural residents and small agribusiness. The purpose of the study is to highlight and reveal the content of the main functional strategies for the development of the operational activities of rural credit cooperatives based on a generalization of accumulated practices. The used research methods include abstraction, generalization, formalization, analogies and other theoretical and general logical methods. A fiveelement model for the development of rural credit cooperation has been developed, which differs from the known ones by the inclusion of three "horizontal" strategies (mobilization mechanism, transmission mechanism, internal multifunctionality), describing promising directions for the development of rural credit cooperation in the functional area, and two "vertical" strategies (hierarchy and inter-cooperative integration ones) systematizing organizational alternatives. For the "mobilization mechanism" strategy, aimed at mobilizing internal financial resources and organizing mutual lending, external and internal mechanisms for protecting the funds (savings) of shareholders have been developed. For the "transmission mechanism" strategy, which involves the use of external borrowing to expand indirect access to bank loans, restrictive and security instruments have been proposed. Within the framework of the "internal multifunctionality" strategy, which involves the development of activities not related to the organization of mutual financial assistance, its inexpediency is justified with the proper development of other types of consumer cooperation.
The article is devoted to the study of procedures for multilevel control of construction production in the contractor's economic security system in order to minimize risks, threats and losses. Construction activity forms a complex dynamic system, the effective management of which is conditioned by maximum consideration of interdependent factors and the constantly changing state of objects under construction. The author presents an economic view of the continuous monitoring of construction production and corrective action through the analysis of the time of processes, forms and methods used, areas and objects of control.
