Based on a critical analysis of approaches of various researchers, the evolution of the essence of the concept of "efficiency" is determined in the article, aspects of this category in relation to the field of higher education are considered. It is noted that the problem of analyzing the effectiveness of business entities in the economic literature is well covered. A large number of researchers consider various aspects of the formation of the effectiveness of organizations in various industries and fields of activity in relation to a variety of conditions. At the same time, the issues of the effectiveness of institutions of higher education cause some discussion. The functioning and development of universities and ensuring their competitiveness are impossible without the formation of their effectiveness, including in modern conditions under the influence of universal digitalization of all spheres of activity. The new technological paradigm of higher education generates new conditions for the formation of their effectiveness, new factors, tools and criteria, that determines the interest in the subject of this research. The result of the analysis is the structuring of scientific and methodological approaches to the concept of "efficiency", which later allowed defining the effectiveness of a university. 

In the conditions of Industry 5.0, industrial integration, which affects the interests of all stakeholders in the territory where industrial enterprises are present, must be studied and assessed from the perspective of the trinity of economic (technological), environmental and social efficiency. An effective tool for implementing the policy of technological sovereignty and sustainable development of the industrial sector are environmental and technological projects that comply with the principles of the best available technologies. The article suggests factors that should be taken into account when selecting environmental and technological projects, as well as the main directions for their assessment, ensuring the achievement of economic, environmental and social development goals and contributing to the technological sovereignty of the domestic economy. The authors analyzed a number of cases describing projects implemented by industrial clusters and symbioses operating in various regions of the Russian Federation, from the perspective of their compliance with the above factors. Problems and promising directions of environmental and technological transformation of domestic industrial production in modern realities have been identified. 

Nowadays resource centers for socially oriented non-profit organizations may be considered as a driver for the territorial development. However, government support often remains the key element for its functioning. The purpose of this work is to design proposals for improving measures of state support for the activities of resource centers based on a study of the experience of the Russian regions. Statistical data from the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, the authorities of the regions of the Ural Federal District, on the volume of state support provided to resource centers were studied. Descriptive methods, and analysis of current legislation were applied. It should be noted that regions have accumulated different experiences in providing government support measures to resource centers. The author's proposals for improving measures of state support for the work of resource centers include the certification of resource centers, providing financial support on a long-term basis, and mandatory assessment of the effectiveness of support measures provided by authorities. Results of this research may have practical significance for the authorities of regions of the Russian Federation and representatives of the non-profit sector. 

As you know, any concept contains the future tense, in addition, strategies, programs and projects for the development of the northern territories require the full involvement of all economic entities in their implementation. In the implementation of the development strategies of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, the stumbling block was not only the issue of resource allocation between economic entities, but also the problem of specialization of their functions and differences in their interests, which did not allow them to achieve their goals in the end. The purpose of this study is to achieve the desired socio–economic result using foresight tools on the example of the Russian Arctic. The research methods are presented within the framework of socio-economic foresight. Methods of studying weak signals of emerging trends and possible jokers are used. It is assumed that the emerging new model of relations between economic entities such as the state, business and the family, aimed at joining forces, working in a group, will overcome the above barrier. 

The article examines the paradigm of balanced enterprise development, analyzes various conceptual approaches, identifies the relationship and difference between the categories of "sustainable development" and "balanced development". The stages of formation and key goals of a balanced scorecard are determined, the features of its application in modern conditions of the development of the domestic economy are revealed. 

The systematic active development of the third sector raises the question of increasing the level of public trust on the part of stakeholders in the activities of non-profit organizations. A bona fide non-profit organization must ensure a positive business reputation, achievement of statutory goals, and long-term continuous operation. One of the tools to ensure favorable conditions for effective and long-term work is the availability of an internal control system for the organization's activities that monitors the implementation of the financial plan, ensures reliability, validity of management decisions and guarantees the fulfillment of obligations. The article describes the current problems of the functioning of the internal control system in organizations of the non-profit sector and forms proposals for their solution. 

The digitalization of the banking sector in the world has reached such a scale that it is already appropriate to talk about the transformation of the sectoral economy into an ecosystem economy. Digital technologies are so rapidly entering our daily lives, covering such areas as everyday life, communications, education, healthcare and much more, that ignoring them will deprive any enterprise of competitiveness in the market and naturally lead to a drop in income, or even bankruptcy. Banking institutions are dramatically changing their financial appearance, the processes of bank functioning, the formation of banking products and services, and the ways of interacting with customers are changing, and this requires careful study. At the same time, such a concept as the financial reliability of commercial banks not only does not lose its importance, but also acquires a new meaning for evaluating the bank's activities as a high-tech financial center for the formation of an ecosystem. In addition, in modern conditions, the choice of a bank's strategy must be carried out not only depending on the long-term goals of the bank, but also taking into account the impact of IT technologies on its work, as well as the level of their development in the world. The article examines the impact of digitalization on the financial stability of a commercial bank and the formation of a general strategy for its development in the context of building a digital ecosystem. In the course of the research, a qualitative analysis of the ways of ecosystem formation and its structure was carried out. To do this, the orders of the government of the Russian Federation, legal acts, and reports of some commercial banks that are in the public domain were studied. A comparative analysis of the banks' marketing strategy has been carried out. 

This article examines the main modern trends in the budget policy of the Russian Federation. The relevance of such scientific research is determined by the fact that the analysis of the state budget policy allows us to identify the main problems in the formation and use of budget funds, and to determine possible ways to optimize the process of managing national resources. This is of particular importance in the context of growing budget expenditures and public debt. The purpose of this article is to determine the main directions and features of the implementation of Russia's budget policy in the current socio-economic conditions. The research carried out in the work showed that the budget policy currently being implemented in Russia uses countercyclical measures; its key directions are to ensure the efficiency of budget planning and expenditure of public financial resources. The latter is achieved through the reform of such instruments as government programs. An analysis of the main parameters of the federal budget was also carried out - revenues, expenses, deficits, and the share of program expenses in the total expenditure of funds from the national budget were studied. The problems of the budget policy of the Russian Federation identified during the study made it possible to determine the main ways and tools to overcome them.
