The article is devoted to research of sectorial and regional features of industry development in Russia, structure of industrial production, size and quality of economic growth. Comparative analysis of the dynamics of certain types of industrial production in Russia showed that the crisis of 2008–2009 has produced a significant impact on the production volumes, particularly in the areas of machinery and equipment as well as transport equipment. Based on analysis of official statistics the comparative analysis of industrial production volumes in leading regions is presented. It is shown that the structure of the manufacturing industry is dominated by activities not related to the production of machinery and equipment. The coefficients of growth of the shipped goods manufacturing industry are presented. It is shown that these coefficients significantly differ relating to the type of economic activity. A significant growth of regional differentiation in industrial production is revealed. It is shown that the growth rate of industrial production is not constant and different in different regions. The article offers to consider regional preferences determined by their climatic features and comparative advantages, as well as new realities determined by new challenges and threats.

Organizational resources, their rational construction, combination and application present essential factors of the company‘s activity and existence in the market environment. Consideration of organizational resources as a complex of connections and interactions, the understanding of this complex as the organizational potential of the company allows to create complex models and technolyze the company’s management of the company through the management of its organizational potential. The organizational potential of the industrial company (OPIC) is understood as the company’s ability to form the structurized construction of complementary resources incorporated combined through the idea of orientation on conformity with the environment or its transformation. The management of organizational potential is considered to be a complete process to secure the conformity of the company with the business environment, consisting of 3 phases: research, construction and maintenance and transformation of organizational potential on the basis of application of combined resource and process OPIC indexes. Complete OPIC management technologies are formed by combining the value oriented functionally specialized company management technologies. To this purpose the methodology of the structural analysis and designing (SAD) is used. The presented material expands our knowledge on structure and properties, essence, features and opportunities to apply the complex of organizational resources of the company, ways of managing its growth and adaptations to conditions of the business environment, essence, kinds and ways of construction of complex management technologies The practical importance of the study consists in the opportunity to of apply the offered tools for development of strategy, tactics and complex technology of company management through management of organizational potential targeting concrete
parameters of growth.

The paper discusses the concept and fundamentals of industrial outsourcing, development of services in the Russian Federation. It is shown that in case when resource Arctic corporation transfer the noncore business processes for industrial outsource it will increase the feasibility of innovative technologies. The features of the functioning of the market of industrial outsourcing in the Arctic, including the mechanism of withdrawal of non-core assets are described The international experience of industrial service companies is considered. It is shown that the market for services in the Arctic resource corporations is associated primarily with the modernization of production, application of the newest materials and innovative technologies, acceleration of scientific and technical progress. At the same time the mining industry of the Arctic can serve as a catalyst for the development of service companies. Presented are the advantages and risks of the non-core business transfer to an industrial outsourcing compared with the case when this work is performed by corporations. The list of non-core activities of corporations and an example when major resource corporations – OJSC MMC “Norilsk Nickel” and JSC “Apatit” effectively transfer the non-core business processes to an industrial outsourcing is presented. Proposals to harmonize state and corporate outsourcing of industrial innovation policy in the Arctic are made. The necessity is noted to further perform theoretical and methodological study of the transfer of corporate business process to outsourcing industry.

Due to the active process of development of the automotive industry cluster in Sankt Petersburg and Leningrad region the problem of creating the efficient infrastructure has become especially important. It becomes important not only to launch new projects of foreign suppliers and own production, but to develop infrastructure for testing procedures. The study presents the analysis of current and future demands in the test support for automotive components in St.Petersburg and Leningrad region. The study applied following methods: collecting, organizing, analyzing sectorial information, interrogating representatives of the industry. The results were classified in following groups. The first group of results determines the need for automotive companies in the test service and the necessary equipment, as well as criteria for the selection of test laboratories. The second group of results allowed to estimate the growth rate of the costs and demand for automotive components testing support. The third group allowed to determine the need for a united test center for automotive companies. The key factors, determining the specific market, have been revealed. Basing on primary data the research makes recommendations regarding the volume of the market requiring the testing of auto components and the creation of an unified testing center. The results revealed the fact that the current level of development of Russian market for automotive components test support should be defined as the initial. The main reason for carrying out the tests overseas is the lack of the necessary infrastructure to support testing of automotive components. Creating a united test center for automotive companies can be regarded as one of the steps towards the establishment of this infrastructure. State and municipal authorities can use established facts for analytical purposes.

The article presents the general estimation of contemporary state and possibilities of the realization of the basic principles of energy-effectiveness and economy of resources in applying natural esources under the intensively changing conditions of the national economy . It is noted that one of the basic elements of the state strategic policy on the rational use of natural resources must be the obligatory consideration of the known and successfully approved in the region contemporary principles of energy-effectiveness and economy of resources. The world and domestic experience of energy-effectiveness and economy of resources is analyzed. It is indicated that the practical application was limited basically by regional and branch specific character, and was until now insufficiently systematized. In contrast to the foreign economy, it had no broad application in the domestic economy. In the larger part this relates to the processes of resource saving while the realization of the energy capacity and energy efficiency principles appears , especially in field of environment and economy, appears at present to be more successful in Russia. The contemporary ecological-economic aspects of the realization of the principles of energy-effectiveness in the field of rational use of natural resources with the estimation of creating the system of their further improvement and promising development are revealed and analyzed.

The article discusses the concept and theoretical basis of innovation policy, in the first place at the regional level. It is shown that in the industrial complex of the Russian Arctic, this process is determined by the specific conditions, the resource-based production and its scale determining the complex and contradictory interaction between state, regions and corporations. It requires constant and deeply grounded interaction of interests, eliminating, or at least timely smoothing the objective contradictions and subjective conflicts. It should be borne in mind that the innovation expenditures of managing subjects many times exceed the budget money. It is noted that Arctic regions are exceptionally heterogeneous both in natural resources, and the level of the development, but they have one characteristic feature – the complex climatic conditions determining the increased costs of their development, which under market conditions can be secured only through natural rent, of course, except in cases of non-economic relations, for example, when the state finances the development for political or defense purposes. However, in reality they all are very closely intertwined. and for all the innovation factors are crucial. It is proved that under the conditions of limited resources and the conflicting interests the main elements of the mechanism of industrial innovation policy is target-oriented approach and the public-private partnership. In the modern theory  and practice the basis of such partnership presents the contract concluded between the authorities and one or more private companies to combine resources on the long-term and mutually beneficial basis.

The author considers the possibility of the development of the fishing fleet, performing the fishing of marine biological resources in the interests of the coastal region. The socio-economic development of any region is, as a rule, based on the use of their own potential, and this potential is realized on the existence of a developed industrial infrastructure, natural resources and employment potential. This coastal region is interested in the intensive marine economic activities as one of the potential factors. The author analyzes the problem of fishing fleet renovation on the example of the Murmansk region, draws attention to the domestic shipbuilding industry, which is currently unable to ensure the competitiveness of its own products. Studying the experience of the development of the shipbuilding industry in the Soviet Union and abroad, the author proposes to link the possibility of building fishing vessels in domestic shipyards with economic interests of the coastal region. To do this it is necessary to introduce changes to the existing rules granting quota resources fishing vessel in order to ensure the economic relationship between coastal regions and the vessel. The author believes that regional authorities are interested in the stable development of their own market subjects ensuring employment and tax revenue. The upgrading of the fishing fleet and its further exploitation should benefit the development of the region.

Currently, the majority of enterprises develop innovation activity for maintaining a competitive edge in the market. The understanding of the innovation process is the crucial condition for the effective innovation management. Innovation management requires building precise and transparent model of the innovation process with the prediction of different scenarios. Modern technologies permit to design business processes effectively that enhances the probability of successful implementation of innovation. The article discusses the advantages of computer modeling regarding its conventional counterparts. In addition, the authors discuss the advantages of the implementation of the process approach to the development of the innovation process model. In conclusion, the authors state that the application of information technologies and process approach is effective in the development of the innovation process model.

The object of the study is a limited liability company Scientific-Technical Center “Technologies of special metallurgy” – small innovative businesses, established at NUST “MISA”. Center introduces the industry in the development of the university, thus creating an innovative belt, closing the chain from basic research to the specific technology and products (commercialization of innovative technologies). Scientific and technical center “Technologies of special metallurgy» is the industrial partner NUST “MISA” in the Federal Target Program “Research and development on priority directions of scientific-technological complex of Russia for 2014-2020”. Currently, extremely important direction of development activities is to obtain powders for 3D-printing, this is due to the fact that in recent years there has been considerable interest in the bulk nanomaterials that can be effectively used for the production of products produced using additive technologies. The problem of obtaining powdered materials is important not only for the development of AF-technologies, but also for the classical powder metallurgy. Metal-powder compositions are used in high-tech sectors such as aeronautics, energy, military and space technology, shipbuilding, instrument. The main goal of this research is to study the technical feasibility and cost effectiveness of the project for the production of pellets for 3D printers.

The development of petrochemical industry directly dependent on their innovation activity .Accordingly, the necessary measures to stimulate innovation in the enterprise have to be taken. Under these conditions it is very important to assess the effectiveness of innovative activity. The existing methods to evaluate it need to be systematized and extended to be practically applied by economic departments of petrochemical enterprises. The authors propose a method to estimate the innovative activity in the petrochemical enterprises, consisting of 7 stages. On the first stage the dynamics of “intangible assets” and “the results of research and development” in the enterprise for the certain period (usually three calendar years) are estimated. At the second stage the structure of «intangible assets» and results of research and development» are estimated in terms of the share of value of the overall property of enterprise for the same period. At the third stage the structure of «intangible assets» or the result of research and development are examined. At the fourth stage of the depreciation coefficient of “intangible assets” and the write–off coefficients in the “results of research and development” sector are calculated. At the fifth stage th e structure of “intangible assets” and “the results of research and development” and their share of the total value of all the innovation in the enterprise are examined. At the sixth stage four indicators: fund capital productivity of innovation; fund capacity of innovation; fund profitability of innovation; fund furnishing; the coefficient of innovation activity in not-circulating assets are calculated. At the seventh stage of the share of trained employees in the calendar year from the total number of employees is calculated.

Currently, the Russian industry in most cases is represented by such entities as industrial integrated structures (IPR). Typical representatives of IPR are JSC “Gazprom”, “Lukoil”, JSC “Mechel” Steel Group OAO “Chelyabinsk Tube Rolling Plant”, OAO “TMK”, JSC “United Metallurgical Company”, JSC group “GUTA”, JSC “Ural Mining-Metallurgical Company” and others. The contemporary studies shows this form of modern research management to provide the following benefits for separate business units, which are the part of the IPR: they have great potential for the implementation of the competitive advantage strategy; they have the ability to create closed production chains and to diversify the production. They are able to save administration costs by centralizing certain functions, etc. Today, much attention is paid to assessing the performance of the industrial integrated structures. However, the complexity and diversity of the process of mergers and acquisitions of business entities do not allow to form a consensus and unified approach to solve the problem. The article discusses the nature of the integration process of companies, reveals specific features and provides methodical approach to the assessment of the effectiveness of an integrated industrial structure taking into account arising synergies.

The contemporary business practice has created the term of intellectual resource as one of the most important components when building up an effective management system. The intellectual capital plays also an important role representing the nature and the mechanism of human resource employment at an organization in the most spectacular way. The authors believed that the matter of investment activity efficiency becomes very actual in intellectual capital management.The article shows the specificity of investment into non-material assets of an enterprise, throws light upon principle investmen problems into non-matetrial assets, discloses key problems in the low level of the intellectual business component.

A significant number of young people in contemporary Russia want to get the academic education at universities although they demonstrate low degree of school education (less than 220 points in three unified state exams) . Lacking a expressed motivation to acquire a profession, these students do not enjoy high success in their study. The article discusses the issue of conformation between relevant personal qualities of students and kind of profession the choose when learning in high school. The survey involved 120 students from various areas of training It is shown that almost 40% of the students participating in the experiment, showed no inclination to their chosen profession. To prepare such students for professional work the authors recommend to use of a system of active mastery of specialty created in «MISIS» (National Research Technological University «MISIS»). The authors indicate that it is expedient to interrogate the students in order to reveal their inclination to the specific profession

The concepts of value, utility, cost and efficiency in economic theory presenting both the backbone and discussion matter, still do not have a single interpretations, experts continue to argue about the relationships that exist between them. The process management widely uses the terms «valuable proposition», «the process created value», «value chain», «value creating flow». Often it remains unclear what kind of values the authors mean and how to evaluate it. The purpose of the transition to process management is interpreted as elevated efficiency, however, the focus on the quantitative assessment of the efficiency does not guarantee commercial success of the enterprise. The «effectiveness» term has many meanings. There arise a problem how to attach to the terms «value» and «efficiency» a consistent explanation where the applied meaning would not be contrary to the fundamental one , otherwise their use in process management would lead to confusion. The solution of this problem has great practical importance for the business analysts when the company plans to shift to process management. Without it will remain unclear what is the value for the consumer , how it is formed, how to analyze the process, how to discriminate work creating value and cost. Not understanding the nature of business performance, the analyst does not know how it can be controlled. The article shows that the classic process management rather freely uses the terms value and effectiveness, so that in each case one has to understand whichthe ultimate meaning lays in those concepts. It is proposed to separate the phase of business process modeling, where the technological process of production is prepared and which appears to be a key for overall economic impact, since it is exactly this stage where the standard cost-effectiveness of the business is created.

Despite the fact that both foreign and Russian intellectual capital researches pay the most attention to human capital: problems of the human capital investments, conditions of its formation, storage and reproduction, we strongly believe that its impact on the effective development of industrial enterprises, competitiveness in the long term should be considered together with the structural capital. It performs several key functions: ensures the implementation of specialized knowledge of employees in production processes, creates prerequisites for the development of corporate culture, promotes reproductive ability of intellectual capital in the long term and has in the short term the greatest commercialization potential. Structural capital in modern conditions is thus a specific object of management, its formation and development directly determine the innovative potential of industrial enterprises. This article analyzes existing approaches to the definition and classification of intellectual and structural capital of an industrial enterprise. Basing on the synthesis of approaches the authors present their definition of structural capital. Authors define goals, objectives and principles of the structural capital management at the industrial enterprises, describe the features of the decision-making.

The expanding of company’s boundaries has its limits. At the same time, however, the desire of businesses to ensure a stable development, to form a model for sustainable interaction with contractors (supply of the production and sale of finished products) positioned outside the scope of hierarchical structures, stimulated the transition from random, one-time transactions to long -term mutually beneficial partnership. Such kind of cooperation is reflected in the use of different means and methods of coordination of industrial and economic activities, the formation of strategic alliances and business networks. Coordinating institutions and business networks consisting of many companies and organizations are typical of any modern economy, regardless of socio-political organization of the state. The article describes the practice of sectoral and intersectoral cooperation, the experience of the economy of the USSR supply chains, clusters and networking arrangements (formal and informal) of industrial enterprises, taking into account the specifics of the Soviet economic system. Distinctive features of Soviet coordinating institutions different from foreign analogues were provoked by the predominance of administrative regulation, a low degree of autonomy of enterprises, the specific nature of the properties of the industrial and scientific and technological potential in the country .It is indicated that the reduced effectiveness of the planning-distribution system and lack of direct interaction of enterprises have contributed to the development of informal and non-formal horizontal links between economic agents.

The extent of consumption of all kinds of resources and their steady growth proved a worldwide problem, especially considering the rapid development of the East Asian economies. The hope is that scientific and technological progress in industries that consume resources spontaneously will compensate increase of resources due to increased production volumes, many scientists appear to be unjustified. A growing number of experts are inclined to believe that without change the economic paradigm of the sustainable development of modern civilization possible. This was discussed further at the Davos forum in 2009. One of the possible components of the change in the economic paradigm is related to frugality, which, since the second half of the twentieth century, is no longer so mandatory, which it was for most people in recent times. Considering the above, the subject of the article about the return to the ideology of thrift seems relevant. The article attempts to show that the call for increased consumption, which was formed in the United States in the forties of the last century on the background kolosalnoe productivity growth, in favor of large corporations, the people in the age of mass consumption, the review found, not only in America and Europe, but also had a detrimental effect on the whole world. Extravagance became recognized as a sign of success – first in the final consumption, and then penetrated into the sphere of production under the banner of scientific and technical progress. Now the world is gradually going sobering pressure manifested limited resources and irreversible environmental impacts. The article expressed concerns about public manifestations and the methods necessary to combat wastefulness.
