The endogenous-oriented development of the regions is conditioned by the identification of instruments for regulating the financial imbalances of the regions and the identification of conditions for their achievement, which are derivatives for ensuring the endogenously-oriented development of the regions as a whole.

Formation of management decisions to increase the innovation potential of industrial energy enterprises given the impact of structural transformations

The article is devoted to defining directions of formation of managerial decisions to increase the level of innovative potential of industrial energy enterprises taking into account influence of structural transformations. The article determines that under current conditions of functioning, the imperfection of structural transformations influences the fluctuations of the innovation potential of industrial energy enterprises, which, as a rule, is a developmental disease: a lag of the management system and other internal mechanisms from new scales of activity, the inability to timely and comprehensively introduce necessary innovative changes, unprofessional management and more. It has been demonstrated that improving the formation of managerial decisions aimed at increasing the level of innovative potential, taking into account the influence of structural transformations, is one of the key ways to stabilize the economic sphere of industrial energy enterprises as a whole, which is a qualitative sequence of actions and conditions to achieve goals. The stages of the process of forming managerial decisions are identified, namely: analysis of the environment and the state of innovative potential of enterprises, the formation of development goals, the formation of criteria for achieving goals, formulating tasks, identifying and allocating available resources for development, identifying risk factors and force majeure and taking measures to neutralize them. Along with productive directions of increasing the level of innovative potential of industrial energy enterprises, taking into account structural transformations, it is proposed to attract internal reserves of achievement through more comprehensive use of production capacities, improving the quality and competitiveness of products, reducing costs, making appropriate use of material and labor, financial and economic resources, and reducing unproductive costs and losses, the introduction of resource-saving technologies.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ФОРМУВАННЯ КОРПОРАТИВНОЇ КУЛЬТУРИ ОРГАНІЗАЦІЇ

In this article, theoretical aspects of the formation of modern relations are explored and new approaches to the formation of culture are argued. Corporate culture is not formed immediately, the process of its formation is complex and time-consuming. It develops according to its specific laws, has its own principles, and provides for certain stages. In addition to the tools of information impact on employees, the organization should develop a certain internal organizational policy that will support declarations on these or other values. The stages of improving the corporate culture in the organization were analyzed and it was found that for the successful formation of the culture of organization and the reduction of staff resistance it is desirable to create a system for motivating the implementation of the program for the formation and development of a corporate culture for workers at each level. It is proved that to reduce the resistance of workers it is necessary to develop a program of innovations that was understandable to every employee. All innovations should be discussed in advance at meetings, and cardinal changes at the general meeting. When forming and developing a corporate culture, it is important to take into account the opinion of employees. When starting the program, the so-called manager principle should work: the head of the organization, by his example, must confirm the necessity and correctness of the changes and innovations that are being implemented. This is especially important for organizations in which the first person in the organization always enjoys great authority among employees. All levels must be involved in the process of formation and development of corporate culture. If at some level of innovation is not accepted, cause resistance, they must be adjusted again at the highest level. It is proved that the formation of a corporate culture in the current conditions of functioning is a global strategic resource of the organization.

Cultural Heritage and Social Environment Coherence in the Ethnographic Villages of Lithuania

The records of the State protected cultural heritage objects in the preserved ethnographic villages of Lithuania; the survey records on their assessment; the guidelines on their potential use are considered to comprise a very significant part in the field of culturologic assessment. It is closely related to the needs and demands of the currently developed agricultural produce in these villages and the prevailing public services infrastructure as well as the social environment. When working out the issues related to the future heritage preservation and possibilities for the adaptation of these historic ethno culture-oriented rural settlements, the most decisive appeared the economic potential of the population in those villages. The state and conditions of the heritage objects in these ethnographic villages reflect not only the cultural attitude and provisions of the local communities, but the unregulated changes of the social economic environment. The related project was carried out in 2012 called ‘The assessment of the state and conditions of the prioritized ethnographic villages as well as the relics and objects of the immovable cultural heritage in those villages, by means of the analysis of the historical development and photo-fixation of the valuable objects and by the studies of the social environment of the local population’ (Inventory... 2011). There was made an attempt to find out the current conditions of functioning of the prioritized preserved ethnographic villages, to determine the measures for protection as well as the prospects for future development. Based on the ‘Inventory of the criteria for selecting the prioritized ethnographic villages’ (Inventory… 2011) compiled from 38 villages which are included into the List of the Folk Art Valuables on Architecture, there were selected 10 prioritized villages. The assessment of the state and conditions of the immovable cultural heritage objects and social environment was performed in the following ethnographic villages of Salos, S. Katinautiskes, Kretuonos, Mikalajunai, Kasetos, Ziogeliai, Zervynos, Darguziai, Ciziunai ir Skirvytele. From the total number of 386 farmsteads, the detailed research study was performed in 188 farms. The findings of the study clarified the changes in the planned and spatial structure, the current state of the heritage objects of urbanism and architecture, the compositional characteristics in the landscape as well as the needs of the local communities and economic potentials for further protection of the ethno-architectural heritage.
