THE IMPORTANCE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FOR FORECASTING THE ACTIVITIES OF THE ENTERPRISE IN THE TOURISM BUSINESS

The aim of the article is to study the importance of information technologies for forecasting business activity in the tourism business. The analysis of the processes taking place in the industry shows a discrepancy between the level of application of information technologies in the activities of domestic business entities in the sphere of tourism development and their implementation in tourist developed countries of the world. Specific features of the creation and implementation of tourism services (a large number of participants and a significant geographical reference, a balanced system of relations between the subjects of the tourism market, territorial differentiation of the tourist product, remoteness of the place of sale of tourist services from the place of their consumption) necessitate an increase in the level of provision of the management system of modern information technology. Methodology. The following methods were used to study this topic: descriptive, idealization, statistical, field research. Much of the data in this study was obtained through observations of both tourism businesses and consumers of tourism services. Results. The need to forecast the results of the enterprise is due to a significant degree of uncertainty and a large number of risks, because the economic environment, both external and internal, is characterized by high dynamics and changes. Forecast indicators are an important component of the management process of the enterprise and its divisions in the context of identifying opportunities and threats, the level of solvency of the enterprise. Practical implications. Activity in the field of information technology is based on a number of features, which are based on the innovation policy of the enterprise in the tourism business: the dynamism of information technology; novelty of products or services provided or produced. This leads to the growth of the information services market, implementation and use of the most modern products in the field of information technology. All this provides a strategic advantage of the company in the market. Value/originality. It is proved that the modern work of the enterprise is impossible without the analysis of future forecasts and development programs that will contribute to the achievement of the expected and desired state of affairs. The development and implementation of forecasting methodology has become an objective requirement for enterprises in any field of activity.

Village officials not only serve the community but must have innovations to develop the village in accordance with the demands of institutional change so that the village is able to compete with other villages. In other words, village officials must be able and observant in facing and taking advantage of various challenges and opportunities as a consequence of changing village institutions. Facing the desired conditions, the professionalism of village government apparatus resources is a must that cannot be postponed anymore. Because at this time village officials must have certain skills and knowledge, such as the demands of the village community for satisfactory services, which must be immediately responded to by the Village Government. Community services will be satisfactory if the administrative completeness of the village is complete. Training as an alternative for developing village apparatus resources needs to be carried out immediately as a consequence of changes in village government institutions and community demands for satisfactory services. To find out the needs needed by village officials in the context of developing village apparatus resources, it is necessary to identify the types and methods of training that are truly appropriate and no less important is the need for evaluation after the training. Departing from the explanation above, of course, the development of apparatus resources is directed so that village officials have the appropriate competencies needed to develop the region. The need for training is directed at meeting the needs of village officials, such as training in making letters for hamlet heads for administrative completeness, the end of which is the creation of satisfactory public services. This condition of limited human resource capabilities is currently also being felt by the Government in South Sakra Village. The goal to be achieved in this service activity is to carry out training and assistance for the South Sakra Village Apparatus, especially the hamlet head in the context of making letters to support their daily duties. The specific target to be achieved is to make South Sakra Village an Independent Village of Orderly Administration in East Lombok Regency. To achieve these specific goals and targets, the method used is the transfer of knowledge through the implementation of training and mentoring. Training activities will be devoted to training in making letters both manually and digitally. After the training is completed, the next step is to provide assistance to village officials related to the knowledge that has been obtained during the training.

THE EFFECT OF FINANCIAL INCLUSION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP CREATION AMONG AGENCY BANKING. EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION OF POINT OF SALE (POS) CARD ACCEPTANCE OPERATORS IN NIGERIA: SPECIAL REFERENCE TO LAGOS METROPOLIS

This study aims to evaluate the link between inclusive finance and entrepreneurship creation among banking agency, with specific reference to point of sale (POS) operators in Nigeria. Therefore, the study anchored on the special agent theory of financial inclusion. The novelty of this research is the inclusion of Khan Measurement variables and methods for evaluating financial inclusion (FI), who proposed the use of the FI index to measure banking penetration, availability and accessibility of service/product and usage of banking system/technology. Another novelty is financial inclusion in the entrepreneurial paradigm, which is a model of an inclusive financial channel for startup businesses and entrepreneurship creation. This model provides a basis for financial solutions for struggling startups in agency banking. 204 copies of the questionnaire were retrieved from the respondents out of 399 distributed to POS operators and two agent banks using the Yamane statistical method. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the questions from each variable, while regression statistical analysis was employed to test the hypotheses. The findings revealed that banking penetration has a significant positive relationship with entrepreneurship creation of services, financial products/services has a significant positive relationship with entrepreneurship creation, and usage of banking services was significantly and positively related to entrepreneurship creation among Lagos POS operators. Practical application is for POS operators and agent banks used to promote financial inclusion and job creation. Therefore, it is imperative that agency banking should provide more financial incentives to POS and mobile banking operators to encourage them to have access to funds.

WSFeIn: A Novel, Dynamic Web Service Composition Adapter for Cloud-Based Mobile Application

Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) has been a cornerstone development in today’s fast-paced world, covering the lifecycle of services and contributing to service delivery through distributed applications. SOC is striving to integrate cloud computing with complicated mobile apps. Dynamic and adaptable web service composition is the tip of the iceberg for SOA adoption. Dynamic service binding is vital for mobile computing due to the need for distributed mobile internet consumption at runtime. This study addresses SOC difficulties associated with web service composition, whose growth creates a paradigm change in identifying data type matching solutions. This allows for data type-level matching research to ensure high-quality web service creation. In this work, the composition process is divided into three phases: web service discovery, web service selection, and web service composition, where web service personalization and workflow reliability are emphasized. The final result is a complicated mobile app that runs without depleting device resources and an adaptable, reusable web service composition workflow. This improves matching at the data type level, an SOC pain point.

Digital Competition in Different Sectors of the Economy

The introduction of information and communication technologies (ICT) into different sectors of the economy has led to the emergence of the digital economy, defined by the “fourth industrial revolution”. Digital competition in different sectors of the Ukrainian economy is mainly seen in the creation of digital services, while global practice demonstrates the modernization of enterprises based on digitalization of production, the sales sphere and so on.Digitization and its competition in different spheres of the national economy is studied here. Namely, it is determined that nowadays digitization of the real sector of Ukraine's economy in the form of innovative production is not observed at the moment, but digitalization is more represented in the financial sector. Taking into account the current structure of the financial market in Ukraine, it was found that digitalization processes have largely affected the banking sector, which is embodied in the presence of developed Internet banking. It is found that the stock market in Ukraine currently lags far behind the banking sector in terms of the introduction of digital technologies.

Trade in creative services: relatedness and regional specialization in the UK

ABSTRACT Creative services have become an important, but understudied, part of global trade. This paper presents new evidence on the transformation, geography and industrial relatedness of creative service exports in the UK, using the Inquiry in International Trade in Services (ITIS) database. Creative services exports have grown over the past decade, but there are pronounced patterns of geographical specialization in the export of creative and non-creative services. We develop a measure of relatedness between exports of creative and non-creative services and of manufacturing goods. We argue that creative services are economically significant because of their interrelationship with other local sectors.

Foreign presence in the Southwest French countryside. Contribution of recent initiatives to the social and economic diversification of rural areas

Less studied and documented than in the cities, the presence of foreigners in the French countryside remains more discreet and often unknown today. However, new international migrations are crossing rural areas, thus adding to previous movements. In rural southwestern France, our statistical analysis, based on census data obtained from INSEE and available since 1968, reveal their spatial distribution and the process of social diversification at work. This process has led us to question contemporary rural dynamics through the prism of international migration. Whether the migrants encountered in the framework of the CAMIGRI program surveys act directly in the development of new economic and social initiatives, or contribute to their genesis and development, their presence and their point of settlement significantly interfere with the trajectory and the evolutions of certain characteristic of rural places. In the Vienne, the Dordogne and the Ariège, a cross-analysis of three recent initiatives provides food for thought on the emergence of innovative forms of rural entrepreneurship. These types of entrepreneurship have in common that they are situated in the field of arrival of foreigners in rural areas: either through a specific activity (agriculture), or through the creation of services that allow for integration, accompaniment, emergency or permanent welcome. Thus, the anchoring of foreigners, which is part of the current rural dynamics, can be seen as a real perspective of endogenous development and innovation that enhances rural resources by relying on local territorial configurations.Keywords: international migration, territorial anchorage, entrepreneurship, resource, rural

Semantic Reusable Web Components: A Use Case in E-Government Interoperability

Advancements in technology and software engineering strive to efficiently build robust technologies and deliver them as fast as possible. It has been shown that both could be achieved by reusing existing implementations, libraries, components, and even frameworks. In the field of public administration, which needs to follow and implement national and EU regulations, it is essential to not only have compatible semantic data structures and processes but also to enable cross-sector and cross-border integrations. In this paper, we present the Digital Europe for All project, more specifically, a use case of a reusable prototype - A web component based on semantic data representation. We show that the component can be easily integrated into an arbitrary Web site and supports arbitrary evidence types, represented using the project's ontologies. Reusing such components enables faster creation of interoperable digital public services and opens new opportunities, better mobility, faster processes, and reduced implementation costs.

Process approach in pharmacy organization management

The classification of the pharmacy organizations fields of activity is substantiated, the typology of pharmacy activity is formed, and the main groups of production processes involved in the process of creating pharmaceutical services and bringing pharmaceutical products to the end consumer are characterized. It was established that process approach is an important quality management principle. Process approach allows you to visualize the entire organizations work and present its internal environment as a set of interrelated processes. Two directions of pharmacy organization activities are defined as: current activities, during which a finished pharmaceutical product is created, and development activities, aimed at improving the pharmacy organizations activities. The four groups of processes involved in the creation of pharmaceutical services in one way or another were identified after applying the process approach (main, auxiliary, development processes, management processes). These process groups are characterized and grouped. The main goals the roles performed in the pharmacy's activities, the result, as well as the final and intermediate consumers of these processes are defined for each of the groups of processes. A process-oriented model of the pharmacy organization management system was developed based on the process approach application. Building a network of processes, presenting each selected process in a visual and easier to understand form, as well as forming and approving a document regulating the algorithm for executing a specific process are included in the model. It is necessary to define the goals of the organizations activities for the functioning of such a model: identify a set of processes that ensure the activities of a pharmaceutical organization, describe these processes by developing appropriate regulations and procedures, distribute areas of responsibility between performers, and develop a system of indicators and performance evaluation. Process approach is commonly an effective mechanism for influencing a pharmacy organizations management system. The presented model contributes to improving the quality of pharmaceutical care provided to the population.

Zimbabwean communication agencies

Researchers from various countries have studied the practices of communication industriesworldwide. Despite this nexus of study, relatively little research has been done on the practiceof communication in Zimbabwe. In order to contribute to the understanding of the state of thecommunication industry on the African continent, this study reports on the results of a surveyof 50 Zimbabwean communication agencies. This article is different from other studies on thecommunication industry because it focuses at an institutional level across the agencies, ratherthan at the level of individual practitioners. The findings focus on four main topics, namelypractitioner profile, agency profile, prevailing professional practices and practitioners’ views onfuture industry trends. The research indicates that the Zimbabwean communication industry isvibrant despite the economic and political challenges facing the country. Owing to economicchallenges and stiff competition, most agencies are multipurpose in nature and provide a widevariety of communication and creative services to their clients. The agencies provide servicessuch as advertising, graphic design, branding, website development, event management, videoproduction, online marketing, media relations, mobile app development, and even animation.There is a growing trend to use digital platforms of communication, yet radio and print (magazinesand newspapers) remain essential communication channels. Among social media platforms,Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are the most used by practitioners in Zimbabwe, while onlineaudio-podcasts, blogging sites, crowdsourcing and Linked-in are less popular. Practical issues areaddressed regarding information about how agencies have adapted (or can adapt) to the new waysof strategic practice with clients in order to keep up with the changing Zimbabwean market. Thisresearch also provides valuable insights into the communication industry as a whole. It explorespossible opportunities and threats for communication practitioners presented by economic andpolitical environment issues and suggests directions for further research in this area.

An analysis of the sustainability goals of digital technology start-ups in Berlin

New digital ventures play a very important role in the creation of new products and services and are a major driver of current economies. At the same time, there is growing awareness about sustainability and more interest in transformation towards a more sustainable future. This raises the question about rational choices of digital entrepreneurs and the subsequent contributions of new digital ventures in terms of sustainability. In times of rapid disruption through digital technologies, many new enterprises are driven by such new technologies. But to what extent do digital technology start-ups contribute to sustainability? An analysis of 320 start-ups from a large survey of entrepreneurial activities in the Berlin metropolitan region indicates that digital technology start-ups primarily focus on economic goals, with social and environmental goals being of lower importance or even ignored. This makes us question the priorities of current frameworks and incentive schemes.

The wellbeing economy: Possibilities and limits in bringing sufficiency from the margins into the mainstream

The idea of sufficiency faces great obstacles in contemporary political economies in which production and consumption growth has long been considered imperative. Despite evidence supporting calls for a sufficiency-oriented, post-growth approach to environmental challenges, only pro-growth environmental perspectives have found significant mainstream political support until now. However, one recent formulation that has a strong affinity with a sufficiency approach—a wellbeing economy—has found growing support among mainstream political actors including governments and international organizations. Does the growing support for a wellbeing economy represent the long-sought breakthrough for a sufficiency-oriented, post-growth environmental approach? To help answer this question, we conduct case studies of New Zealand, Scotland, and Iceland—the three founders of the Wellbeing Economy Governments (WEGo). These nations have (to varying degrees) taken steps to downplay the centrality of economic growth and instead highlight wellbeing as the ultimate goal. They have also moved “beyond GDP” by introducing new wellbeing measurements and using them in policymaking. However, movement in a post-growth direction is limited by continuing dependence on economic growth to achieve intermediate goals, such as employment creation and provision of welfare state services, that are closely associated with the goal of wellbeing. We therefore characterize the emerging practice of the wellbeing economy as a “weak post-growth” approach. To become a “strong post-growth” perspective, it needs to be linked to a much more challenging project of disentangling contemporary societies' dependence on economic growth. The article includes a discussion of ways that WEGo nations could contribute to addressing that considerable challenge and build on the sufficiency-oriented elements evident in the wellbeing economy.

Urban development and tourism planning reality in the province of M'sila: a case study of Bousaada city – Algeria

Tourism is a vital economic resource that can’t be excluded from government economic policies. In many countries, tourism is one of the most important sources of income for the local economy. In addition, urban development specialists consider tourism as a factor activating the city' s urban dynamics, through the creation of new income sources, i.e. the support of urban economy and the development of infrastructures, the creation of specific and quality local services, the establishment and structuring of broad social and cultural relations, etc. The province of M'sila and the city of Bousaada became a known tourist destination that counts high tourist numbers every year since the French occupation. Consequently, it is necessary to understand and identify the tourism reality of this city to assess its current situation. The diagnosis is based on the inventory and evaluation of the various sites and tourist attractions available, both natural and archaeological.

Directions for Improving Business Models of Industrial Enterprises in the Republic of Belarus in the Context of Digitalization

Directions for improving the business models of industrial enterprises in the Republic of Belarus in the context of digitalization have been developed. Studies of the theoretical foundations of business models transformation have been carried out in the industry. To achieve this goal, tasks such as identifying the specifics of the digital transformation of an industrial enterprise, studying the prerequisites for the transformation of business models of industrial enterprises in the Republic of Belarus in the context of digitalization, developing and essentially characterizing areas for improving the business models of industrial enterprises in the Republic of Belarus in the context of digitalization. The materials used are the works of domestic and foreign scientists-economists, data from research reports performed by the authors, and national statistical data. The systematic and institutional approaches, analysis and synthesis have been applied. A methodological approach has been developed to transform the business model under the influence of digitalization as to the process of irreversible qualitative changes in the mechanism of reproduction of the use value of the economic system, due to the introduction of digital technologies and tools in production and business processes, in systems of interaction with other participants in the value chain and consumers, as well as in the goods or services themselves. This made it possible to explore the possibilities of transforming business models under the influence of digitalization of the interaction of an enterprise with other participants in the value chain (network) and the state; interaction between the enterprise and the consumer; improvement of internal production and business processes, including creation of digital services. Technical-technological and organizational-economic relations at an industrial enterprise are considered as factors in the digitalization of its business model. As prerequisites for the transformation of business models of industrial enterprises in the Republic of Belarus in the context of digitalization, the following were identified: an increase in the access of industrial enterprises to computing power, high-speed data transfer, and cloud technologies; a positive dynamics of indicators of digitalization of the Belarusian economy and society, digitalization of the sphere of public administration and interactions “state-business” and “state-population”. All this, as a result of the study, made it possible to develop directions for improving the business models of industrial enterprises in the Republic of Belarus in the context of digitalization.

75th Anniversary of Altai oncological service. Current diagnostic and treatment capacities of neoplastic diseases in Altai region

Initiation of oncological services in the Altaiskiy Kray began simultaneously with the creation of the Russian anti-cancer service. It was in that difficult post-war period, when the country was in dire need of population restoration, that the fight against cancer increased by the order of the USSR council On measures to improve oncological care for the population. This most crucial historical decision served as a catalyst not only for the technological development of the oncology service but also for the scaling of its key achievements, tools, and algorithms for including the population (prevention, oncology registration, etc.) into the regional oncology network. Thus, in 1946, among the first in the country, an oncology office was opened in post-war Barnaul.
