ECONOMIC THEORY

Abstract

The article examines the problem of increasing the economy's resilience to external shocks, which create a long-term obstacle to economic, technological, and social development. The solution to this problem is considered from the position of the structural transformation of a network-type economy, during which the redistribution of production factors accelerates and their efficiency increases, and the range of national advanced technologies expands. The author's methodology is formed by approaches to analyzing the structure of the economy and the impact of shocks on it, factors of shock resistance are shown, and a set of factors of network structural transformation is proposed. The article presents a set of factors for increasing the economy’s resilience to external shocks associated with its network structural transformation (the formation of network-centerless alliances of large and medium-sized businesses, the development of innovation and investment cooperation, the network reproduction of human capital within the framework of a neural network technology platform). They are designed to complement the circle of known factors, such as acceleration of capital accumulation, innovative and technological modernization, increased mobility of production factors, and adaptability to shocks. In the article, particular attention is paid to the reproduction of human capital in the network system of the “quadruple” spiral of innovative development, ensuring technological parity of the national economy with advanced states.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of relevance of Aristotle's principles of market exchange, which initiated Western economic thought, and his theory of logical substantialism. The initial circumstance of the emergence of market exchange is the horizon of diversification of professional specialization, which causes the emergence of both an excess of labor products of a particular professional and an inevitable shortage of labor products of other specialists. The presence of a surplus of one and a deficit of the other induces the phenomenon of a market scene designed to overcome a personal consumer-productive imbalance. In the market, a person as a carrier of economic interest is divided into a buyer and a seller. Being on different sides of the counter, however, the buyer and seller pursue the same motive of profit. The generic identity of the exchange motive of the subjects of supply and demand generates a contrast of its specific expressions that come into collision: it is more expensive to sell for the seller and cheaper to buy for the buyer. It was at the instigation of the ancient Greek metaphysician, who centered the horizon of collective management on the market scene of commodity and money trading, that the system of arbitrary balancing of consumer and productive interests of economic figures was called "market". The center of gravity of the scales of market exchange is the coin as a material carrier of logical substantiality, which in Aristotle's metaphysics is assigned the role of a "fixed mover". Approximately in this capacity, the monetary substation determines the functioning of the market economy.

Abstract

The subject of the author's research is elements of the financial support system for SMEs: support tools, infrastructure organizations, SMEs, their relationships, the integrative effect and its assessment. This article is part of research aimed at studying the impact of regional financial support on the activities of SMEs. The purpose of the author's research is to develop a model for assessing the effectiveness of financial support for the activities of SMEs. The impact of government support on the activities of SMEs has been studied by different researchers, various methods for assessing the impact are proposed, and this article uses a mathematical apparatus that is atypical for this area of research. The author proposes to use a fuzzy assessment of the impact of support on the activities of SMEs using the mathematical apparatus of the theory of fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic and a fuzzy inference system. The article presents the developed model of fuzzy assessment of the effectiveness of regional financial support for SMEs. This model is tested on empirical data. The obtained result is compared with other studies, which confirms the quality of the model. A positive assessment of the impact of regional financial support on the activities of SMEs in the Samara region was also given. Assessing the effectiveness of support has important practical significance; it can provide an opportunity to assess the effectiveness of regional economic policy, the distribution of budget funds and the activities of infrastructure organizations.

Abstract

The article presents a cluster analysis of an enterprise in the Russian metallurgical complex based on 12 selected indicators of the company’s financial and economic activities. In the course of the correlation analysis, three main factors were selected that influence the activities of enterprises in the Russian metallurgical complex. These factors were net profitability, EV and net debt. Dunn's method was used to determine the most optimal number of clusters. The most optimal number of clusters was three clusters. In the course of the cluster analysis, a transition from one cluster to another of a number of communication companies with an increase in profitability and EV indicators was identified. In 2021 and 2023, significant improvements in the performance of companies in the metallurgical complex are observed. The company PJSC Ashinsky Metallurgical Plant continues to maintain its high position, both in 2016 and in 2021 and 2023. The company PJSC Severstal, unfortunately, has not sufficiently improved its activities by 2021 and 2023. The results obtained indicate that economic conditions and the situation in the country are becoming more balanced, and development is becoming homogeneous in this industry.

Abstract

The article examines the specifics of the development of digital services in an innovative environment in crisis conditions. Any transformations and crisis phenomena oblige society to seek a way out of the current situation at the lowest cost. In this case, it is innovation and digitalization that come to the rescue. At the same time, it is important to note that they must act together, because the synergistic effect of these two components is potentially more effective than using technologies separately. When writing the article, the author used the methods of theoretical research. The main method was the analysis of the literature, as well as the method of comparative analysis. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the crisis phenomena act as a booster for the development of the digital services market and its interaction with the innovative environment.

MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS MANAGEMENT

Abstract

The article proposes a conceptual system-contextual model of scientific, technical and related types of development based on the principles of parity and permanence, with the allocation of "quality of life" as a significant factor ensuring the development of individuals. The conditions for obtaining rational and consistent with the principles of the digital economy results from the activities of this model are given. An economic and mathematical formula has been developed for periodic and general assessment of the quality of life from scientific and technical processes. A conceptual network basic model of motivation for scientific and technical activities is proposed, in which motivation is represented by two independent directions – socioindustrial and general social, which makes it possible to concretize, make a qualitative selection of the factors forming these directions, as well as to engage in their improvement to the necessary extent. As a scientific guideline for the support of scientific and technical activities of industrial enterprises, its methodological model has been developed. Taking into account the fact that the organization of scientific and technical processes of industrial enterprises as carriers of social transformations and their results cannot be rationally built, being completely isolated from the state in which macroand meso-level economies are and what rules they use, a methodology for interaction of all levels, including micro-economics, in solving social problems has been developed and, specifically, the task of improving the quality of life of people is significant for their livelihood.

Abstract

The article discusses stages of designing the information system "Medical information System" for use in medical institutions. This topic seems relevant at the present time due to the presence of large information flows related to the service of people. In order to improve the quality and accessibility of medical care in public health institutions, reduce inaccuracies and loss of information, save resources, reduce the burden on staff, free up space in premises intended for document storage, reduce the time required to fill out documents on counterparties, it becomes necessary to create an information system that would solve these problems. The purpose of the study is to design and develop the information system "Medical Information System" using the IDEF0 diagram reflecting the functionality of the information system. During the research, applications were used draw.io, 3SL Cradle, phpMyAdmin, HTML hypertext markup language, CSS cascading style sheet, multi-paradigm JavaScript programming language and PHP scripting programming language. Based on the results of the analysis, an information system was designed that significantly improves the efficiency of medical institutions in terms of organizing electronic document management and information collection and processing processes.

FINANCE, MONEY CIRCULATION AND CREDIT

Abstract

The stable development of the economy largely depends on the state of the securities market in the country, including the stock market. The relevance of the research topic is determined by the crisis phenomena, the constant variability of the external conditions in which the securities market operates. The subject of the study is the economic relations that are formed in the process of transformation of the functioning of the Russian stock market in modern conditions. The purpose of the study is to determine the prospects for the development of the stock market in conditions of external pressure, which occurs through sanctions imposed by other countries. In the course of the work, the authors revealed the industry affiliation of shares traded on the market, analyzed the current state of the stock market in Russia, in particular, the state of the IPO market, as well as the secondary stock market. When considering the transformation processes in the Russian stock market, the main focus was on the problems of sanctions restrictions, which led to a change in the number of bidders and their structure. In addition, the authors identified the consequences of the influx of private investors into the Russian stock market, namely, increased volatility and an increase in the number of discrete auctions in third–tier issuers.
