The largest corporations establish modern trends in the world order, penetrating into all spheres of national economic systems. This trend is determined by processes such as the concentration of production and capital. Being factors of economic development, the concentration of production and capital can be defined as determinants of economic development. However, today there is no unified approach to understanding the essence of these processes, which makes it difficult to study their impact on the socio-economic system of the state. The purpose of the study is to analyze theoretical approaches to the economic content of the processes of concentration of production and concentration of capital, as well as to determine their relationship. The formation and development of these processes are studied. The analysis of the approaches of the main economic schools and directions of political economy to the study of the processes of concentration of production and capital is carried out. According to the majority of foreign and domestic scientists, it has been determined that the purpose of the production concentration process is to increase the size of the enterprise or production volumes. At the same time, such attributes as the movement of factors of production, capital accumulation in the assets of the enterprise, and means of production are distinguished. Most scientists understand the process of capital concentration as the accumulation and capitalization of a part of surplus value. At the same time, the concentration of production is the result of an increase or expansion of the production factors, and the concentration of capital is the accumulation and capitalization of a part of surplus value. As a result of the analysis of the essence of the processes of concentration of production and capital, their relationship was established: the concentration of capital is a factor in the process of concentration of production. Based on the conducted retrospective analysis of the economic essence of the categories of concentration of production and capital, the author's interpretation of these categories is proposed.

In recent years, the sustainable development of the state and its subjects has received increased attention from the leadership of our country. This article investigates approaches to defining and assessing the sustainable development of a territory. The authors proposed a set of indicators to assess the dynamics of sustainable development of the region. The sources of information were data from the scientific electronic library eLIBRARY.RU, decrees, laws and strategies regulating the sustainable development of the Russian Federation and its constituent entities, the Strategy for the socio-economic development of the Penza region for the period until 2035, as well as official statistical data from Rosstat of the Russian Federation and the Unified Interdepartmental Information-Statistical System (UIISS). To collect and process information, methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction were used; to analyze the dynamics of indicators of sustainable development of the region, comparative, statistical and graphical methods were applied; to form conclusions – a method of summarizing scientific literature, official statistics and the results of analytical work. The proposed approach to assessing the sustainable development of the region was tested using materials from the Penza region. The authors have suggested the need to make timely proactive management decisions so that the goals formulated in strategic documents on sustainable development at the national and regional levels are achieved.

The article shows the significance of motivation for solving a problem of providing restaurant business enterprises with personnel in conditions of its shortage in the post-pandemic period. The emphasis is placed on the high labor intensity of the activities of service companies, which include enterprises of the restaurant business, as well as on the fact that the personnel potential of the restaurant is one of the main resources of competitiveness in the market. The positions of a number of researchers on incentive methods and motivation programs in the restaurant business are presented. The authors have identified the main research problems that require further consideration and study. It is shown that a well-developed incentive system and the creation of adequate motivational programs are urgent tasks in the context of a permanent shortage of qualified personnel in the restaurant business. A brief analysis of the state of the Russian restaurant market is given and the dynamics of the ratio of requests for vacancies in the restaurant business from employers and demand for these vacancies from applicants is described. Using statistical data, the authors show that there is a shortage of applicants in the restaurant business today (the "applicant market"), as a result of which the employer often searches for the right candidate for the vacant position for up to a month. The article systematizes the basic techniques and methods of stimulation for two categories of staff of a typical restaurant (cook and waiter), which are offered by employers when placing requests on headhunter portals, on the basis of which a system of incentives can be proposed that meets the expectations of applicants in the restaurant business market to the maximum extent.

The relevance of the research topic is determined by the need to develop effective methods for assessing and analyzing the economic potential of enterprises of the rocket and space complex as a key indicator of their effectiveness. The problem of the study lies in the lack of integrated approaches and universal algorithms that make it possible to fully assess the state of the economic potential of enterprises of the rocket and space complex and, on this basis, determine their ability to long-term sustainable development and achieve set tactical and strategic goals. Within the framework of the study, the author substantiates the similarities and differences between the concepts of "resource potential" and "economic potential", important aspects of the economic potential of an enterprise, of which the resource potential is a part. An algorithm is proposed that details the stages of analysis and assessment of economic potential using specific indicators for evaluating the components that collectively determine the economic potential of an enterprise. The author has developed and tested an integral indicator of economic potential on the example of an enterprise of the rocket and space complex, which takes into account the key components and their weighting factors, ensuring the objectivity and complexity of the assessment. This approach makes it possible not only to assess the current state of the enterprises of the rocket and space complex, but also to identify areas for improving their efficiency.

The article is devoted to the study of measures taken by the state to manage the activities of organizations under sanctions. Sanctions pressure on the Russian economy began back in 2014, but the restrictions of 2022 had a significant impact on the economy due to an unprecedented number of sanctions against the oil and gas, banking, agro-industrial and other sectors. In such conditions, the need for government measures to support individual industries and the economy as a whole increases. The authors systematize the main sanctions imposed on the Russian Federation, examine the response measures taken by the state to stabilize the situation. Special attention is paid to public administration measures in the banking sector, which is determined by its importance in the country's economy. The areas of support for the banking sector are highlighted, such as easing regulations and capital requirements, stimulating lending, creating preferential conditions for the formation of reserves, etc. The obtained research results can be used to develop effective strategies for maintaining stability and economic development in the face of sanctions.

The problems of commercialization of innovative university developments are actively discussed in the contemporary Russian literature. The prevailing approach is the transfer of mechanisms and tools used in the business environment, including in terms of assessing the potential for commercialization of scientific and technical developments. At the same time, universities have a number of significant differences from commercial organizations, which reduces the effectiveness of using such mechanisms without their deep adaptation to the specific conditions of functioning of higher educational institutions. It is advisable to start building a mechanism for assessing the potential for commercialization of scientific and technical developments of universities by formulating principles that will allow it to be targeted in relation to the external and internal environment of the functioning of institutions of higher education. The article presents a system of seven such specific principles developed by the author, which create the basis for the formation of a target mechanism for assessing the potential of commercialization of innovative scientific and technical developments of the university.

A study of problems and features of the formation of industrial clusters in modern Russia is carried out, aimed at identifying sources of increasing the efficiency and competitiveness of domestic enterprises. In the context of modern challenges of reformatting global value chains and implemented economic models, certain difficulties in the production and business environment have emerged and the favorable opportunities for the efficient production of goods and services provided by the digital economy have decreased. In order to neutralize the impact of negative factors and reach a new level of economic efficiency, which is a basis for the competitiveness of contemporary enterprises, mechanisms of new integration formations are needed, which can be provided by industrial clusters. The results of the conducted research show the unconditional advantages of cooperation between enterprises participating in the cluster, which reduce business risks associated with a high level of competition, availability of necessary resources, pricing and interaction between suppliers and customers. The methods of structural and morphological forecasting, the theory of organized systems, systemic and situational approaches, business process modeling based on the materials of the activities of domestic and foreign business entities, their territorial and sectoral associations were used. The conclusions of the study are aimed at developing new approaches to the effective development of production systems and clarifying existing methods for increasing the competitiveness of enterprises in the face of uncertainties and various restrictive measures.
