National Industrial Economies

Abstract

An analysis of global trends in economic and technological development shows that there are all signs that the driving force behind the rise of the sixth major Kondratiev cycle has started working – digital technologies of the fourth technological order, which is initiated by the emergence and implementation of innovations in production processes, defi ned as NBIC technologies (convergence of four industries knowledge related to nanotechnologies, biotechnologies, information and cognitive technologies). However, the currently observed slowdown in economic growth rates (both global and national) leads to the need to fi nd growth points, the fi xation and development of which would make it possible to extract the maximum benefi t from the use of digital technologies. The purpose of this article is to identify tools that can ensure the progressive development of the industrial sector of the national economy in the conditions of the predicted crisis and recession.
The article analyzes the dynamics of the world’s leading economies, shows that the industrial growth index is dominant in the formation of the gross domestic product of the national economy. It is suggested that one of the key factors infl uencing the slowdown in economic growth is the “digital divide” – the period of time that passes after the emergence of technologies on the market and the beginning of their commercial operation. To eliminate the “digital divide”, it is proposed to use digital platforms that provide the possibility of confl ict-free evolutionary redesign of existing enterprise processes and intelligent integration of implemented solutions in a single information space, due to which there is a signifi cant increase in effi ciency and production growth. At the same time, it is noted that, unlike previous technological paradigms, the modern economy is characterized by the possibility of using digital solutions of equal functionality at enterprises of various industries, it is only necessary to set up routes for the execution of end-to-end business processes, taking into account the specifi cs of production. Examples of a universal corporate digital platform that solve such problems are given.

Abstract

Current trends in the world economic system require developing new effi cient measures of support for agricultural industry based on the modern methods of production technologization. This is also indicated by the priorities established within the Russian Federation Food Security Doctrine, which presuppose formation of high-performance industries in the agricultural sectors. Thus, current economic conditions and scientifi c and technological development trends determine the causes and form the prerequisites for active development of the UAV market and expansion of the range of their use in various sectors of economy including agriculture. In this context, the author analysed development factors of the UAV market and evaluated the degree of impact of these factors. The hypothesis has been set up that current economic conditions and scientifi c and technological development trends determine the causes and form the prerequisites for active development of the UAV and innovative technologies market and expansion of the range of their use in various sectors of economy including agriculture. The empirical basis of the study includes expert assessments, regulatory legal acts in the sphere of development of agricultural UAV market as well as offi cial data from statistics agencies. Matrix factor analysis and ranking of expert assessments have been applied as the basic method. The author gives a ranked quantitative assessment of the factor impact on the UAV market including ranking of expert assessments. The author carries out detailed elaboration of expert assessments and on this basis identifi es major problems arising under the infl uence of heterogeneous factors of mega-, macro-, meso- and microenvironment on the UAV market. Thus, at the macrolevel signifi cant factors include climate change, rise in natural disasters, and need for satisfying the increasing demand on food products. Considering the factors revealed it is essential to establish strategic priorities for the development of the country’s agriculture.

Strategizing of industrial development

Abstract

The relevance of the study is determined by the need to search for innovative factors that contribute to the stability of the economy in times of crisis. The authors highly appreciates the role of intellectual innovations in overcoming crises in the economy. Focusing on the theoretical and methodological aspects of the formation of priorities for industrial development of the Russian Federation after the economic crisis of 2009, the authors hypothesized that changes in approaches to state management of economic processes were refl ected in regulatory documents and economic indicators, their analysis can point to the advantages and disadvantages of the existing institutional approach. The paper analyzes public management decisions in relation to the relevant economic indicators for the period from 2009 to 2021. It is determined that the main priorities of the state and economic policy of the Russian Federation during this period are innovative activities and the corresponding industrial policy. The choice of priorities is analyzed from the point of view of compliance with the author's methodology. The positive and negative dynamics of economic indicators as a consequence of the implementation of development priorities are studied, with an emphasis on crisis periods. Based on the results of the study, the authors argues that the choice of state development priorities had a positive impact on the stability of the economy, but the lack of integrity in strategizing did not allow achieving maximum effi ciency. This leads to the conclusion that a scientifi cally based institutional approach with the alignment of strategic priorities in a holistic national strategy can be a separate innovative factor of economic stability in times of crisis.

Abstract

Industrial development is one of the most important areas contributing to the achievement of the strategic goal of ensuring the socio-economic development of any state or region. The success of the implementation of the designated goal is seen through a comprehensive process of strategizing industrial objects for a long period of time, namely through the effective development and implementation of signifi cant strategic priorities, which is especially relevant and important in post-normal conditions.
Meanwhile, the complex work of strategy developers at the fi rst stage determines a long list with concepts of industrial strategic priorities, the implementation of each of them requires a certain provision, while the strategizing object has a limited supply of resources and time. Thus, it is necessary to select from this long list those strategic priorities that will give the highest effi ciency with the least expenditure of resources and time.
In the article, the author proposes an expanded methodology for the primary assessment of the industrial strategic priorities effectiveness, which includes the process of parameterization of indicators for the estimated effects of industrial priorities, modeling and evaluation of the studied effects, the process of ranking industrial strategic priorities.
The proposed methodology for evaluating the primary assessment of the industrial strategic priorities effectiveness allows ranking them at the fi rst stages of strategizing and forming a short list, on the basis of which the strategy development team will continue to work on detailing, formalizing and compositioning all developed elements at the conceptual level into a single fi nal document – an industrial strategy. In addition, the author describes the main features, principles and assumptions of the extended methodology.

Abstract

The universal measure of value has been always controversial in the traditional theory of value. Analogous to the research method of theoretical mechanics, developed from the traditional theory of value – labor theory of value, theory of surplus value and utility theory of value, the new theory of value has established a value complex variable function with labor value and use value as unknown functions, further in the mathematical logic of Euler equation and Euler formula, provided a universal measure of commodity value. On this basis, this paper focuses on the mathematical explicit expressions of value, exchange value, price and market equilibrium function that satisfy the principle of dimensional homogeneity, and the proof of the existence and stability of extremum solutions of market price equilibrium function, so as to help economics become a scientifi c theoretical system, integral with consistent logic, formed by qualitative theories, mathematical models, and computer models.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis and defi nition of priority strategic directions of development of the coal industry of the Russian Federation in conditions of instability and sanctions pressure. The authors present scientifi c grounds for methodological approaches to strategic management of the coal industry of Russia that would ensure a strategic breakthrough in development in the long term in the current crisis conditions. Working out the key government strategic decisions should affect fi scal, investment, technological and foreign trade strategies. The authors justify the necessity of changes in the legal regulation concerning the improvement of the mechanisms for providing preferential trade fi nance conditions to enterprises and the opportunity of the presidency of trading companies in the zones with a special administrative regime. It is recommended that the approach to taxation of ship chartering services should be simplifi ed, and the distribution of freight capacity to the ports of the Far East and increase of the processing capacity of such terminals to the actually confi rmed capacity should be consolidated by the Government. It is suggested that the logistic ship traffi c chains should be redirected to the eastern ports, i.e. the ports of the Asian Pacifi c market. It is regarded as strategically important to extend the regime of territories of advanced development, which have justifi ed the possibility of effective development of the region, for the resident manufacturers of coal products who have confi rmed their effectiveness; to provide the coal mining companies with the opportunity of gaining the priority right to use mineral resources in license areas adjacent to its own facilities. It is essential to ensure system government support of scientifi c developments in improving the means and methods of geological exploration. Implementation of the suggested strategic perspectives in coal industry will ensure sustainable development of coal mining companies in the long-term perspective. Further research should be directed towards the search for mechanisms of identifying the most effective strategies of development of coal mining enterprises in unstable conditions.

Regional economy

Abstract

The article proves the significance and relevance of the concept of strategic development of the regional fuel and energy complex (FEC) based on the triad consisting of innovative cluster formations, harmonization of proportions according to the graph analytical model, formation of effective system of anti-sanctions pressure. It is suggested that regional FEC should be regarded as complex hierarchical organizational technical and economic systems with a global purpose of effective functioning within the life cycle. The authors prove that issues devoted to alternative choice of cluster formations are possible only on the basis of the system criterion which takes into account financial and economic indicators as well as technical and technological, social and environmental ones. The article presents verbal comparative assessment of cluster formations – regional industrial cluster (mega-cluster), coal and energy complex (meso-cluster), mine systems (mini-cluster) – according to the classification characteristics of a cluster. It is stated that any cluster formation has the right for implementation in case it passes the criterion barrier for socio-economic efficiency.
It has been stated that the global purpose for the regional FEC is to ensure energy security of the region. During the sanctions period the Kuzbass should adapt its economy towards cardinal transformation of traffic flows and develop operation of the regional FEC on the basis of harmonization of the parameters of the basic elements according to the graph analytical model. To form the targets it is essential to predict and model the development trends of the regional FEC. This fact predetermines scientific methodological support according to optimization models. The basic foundation of the regional concept is the graph analytical model of interrelation of subjects of strategic management and relations of technological elements of the Kuzbass FEC’s function. Identification of the limit parameters within all the elements of conceptual inequality of interaction, i.e. determination of conditionally optimal parameters of coal production, transportation and demand, essential energy capacities and environmental restrictions, is needed for making strategic decisions and will ensure synergetic effect within the entire production system of the region.

Abstract

The article analyzes the scientifi c methods of managerial decision-making at hightech enterprises. It is determined that the stability of production and the competitiveness of the enterprise in the domestic and foreign markets are determined by such a parameter as the stability of the functioning of the enterprise, which is considered as a predictable parameter characterizing the state of a high-tech enterprise. Increasing the stability of the enterprise can be achieved through the systematic analysis of special indicators that determine the integrated stability in the complex. When predicting the stability of the functioning of a high-tech enterprise, it is necessary to use various methods. Based on the analysis of existing methods of scientifi c prediction of indicators and characteristics of industrial enterprises for making managerial decisions and their features, forecasting methods are identifi ed, combined into the following groups: mathematical (statistical) forecasting methods; computational methods of multi-stage forecasting based on artifi cial neural networks, which are part of the digital twin software in an industrial company; expert forecasting methods involving the use of intuition, knowledge and expert assessments. The integral stability of the functioning of a high-tech enterprise is developed under the infl uence of a complex of factors of the macro environment and the internal environment of the enterprise. They are grouped depending on the environment of occurrence, the nature and direction of the impact, the object of the impact. It is revealed that increasing the stability of the functioning of high-tech enterprises can be ensured by a comprehensive system analysis of the main directions of assessing the stability of the functioning of the enterprise and their subsequent correction, if necessary. The directions of increasing the stability of the functioning of high-tech enterprises, allowing to ensure the stability of the enterprise, are presented.
