Unveiling Phishing Patterns: A Text Mining Analysis of Cyber Threats

In today’s knowledge and information economy, hacking is a huge problem that affects a wide variety of businesses of all shapes and sizes. In recent years, there has been an increase in the prevalence of a variety of attack techniques, such as distributed denial of service (DDoS) and assaults on the management faults of cloud servers. In this study, the different types of phishing were analysed via the lenses of word frequency analysis, cluster analysis, and network analysis respectively. We were able to home down on the most important themes, relationships, and patterns by making use of the graph that evolved as a consequence of the study. In addition to that, we were in a position to provide a helpful analysis of countermeasures for phishing. In addition to this, it acts as a launching point for studies into phishing techniques and the development of preventative measures against them. It is possible that one day this sort of research may be used to evaluate the vulnerabilities of open source software, which will lead to the development of a defensive mechanism that is able to adapt to new types of hacking.

Scientific research in wartime plays an important role in restoring the current state of Ukraine's economy, as it allows to identify economic problems and market dynamics, assess social and cultural factors of renovation of production and consumption processes, distribution and exchange of resources, as well as to influence the acceleration of investment and other management decisions. Such studies can not only reflect the impact of destructive factors on the economic situation in these difficult conditions, but can also be used to study social interaction between business entities, analysis of trends in economic sectors, and contribute to the formation of strategies for business recovery at the local level and sustainable development of Ukrainian society as a whole. In such a circumstance, the issues of theoretical and scientific-methodological approaches to sociological research as part of scientific research in the information economy are becoming increasingly important. This study identifies the main trends in the use of modern digital tools for conducting sociological research, to be used for analyzing the state of economic entities that suffer the most and require urgent economic decisions, as well as for forming a portfolio of economic recovery projects at the micro, meso and macro levels. The authors note a special place for digital tools in sociological research, that help for systematic collection, analysis and interpretation of data for the purpose of understanding social phenomena and processes. The most important are digital collection of data, use of the Internet as a multidisciplinary tool for socio-economic studies: the standard of living of the population; lifestyles of certain social groups; social assessment of the consequences of economic reforms; quality of social services; subjects of economic (entrepreneurial) activity. The peculiarity of sociological research is that the analysis, generalizations and conclusions are based on actual material obtained by the researcher himself. Such information can be useful to the government and international organizations in developing strategies for economic recovery and support after the war.

THEORETICAL APPROACHES TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SUSTAINABLE ENTERPRISE CONCEPT

The relevance of the research stems from the fact that, amidst the globalized economic processes and high external turbulence, with intensified pressures from international and domestic market competition, domestic enterprises face an urgent need to refine development management concepts. These concepts must ensure a comprehensive and strategic orientation in their operations within the new economic environment. The aim of the article is to develop a concept for the sustainable development of enterprises in the modern economic environment. Research methods include logical analysis and generalization. The article refines the definition of the concept of sustainable enterprise development, which is proposed as a strategic approach to enterprise operations that ensures stability and growth in a globalized setting. This concept integrates production and sales, information and communication, economic, and socially beneficial activities. This interpretation of the sustainable enterprise development concept allows for a more detailed view, not only within the economic, environmental, and social dimensions commonly identified by researchers but also by incorporating communication and information components, which are essential in the context of an evolving information economy. A structural-logical framework for the sustainable enterprise development concept is proposed, which includes: the conceptual idea (goals and objectives), a support system (resources and capacities that form the potential, along with infrastructure and tools), and an implementation system (methodology, mechanism, strategy). The advantages of implementing the sustainable development concept in domestic enterprises' practices are specified. Refining the essence and main elements of the sustainable enterprise development concept highlights the need for improved management and business systems, whose details will be the focus of future scientific research.

Queer Data: Ronald Firbank and the Information Economy

Abstract: What can a study of "data" contribute to our understanding of early twentieth-century literary culture and how can data aesthetics help to explicate the seemingly obtuse style of writer Ronald Firbank? This article addresses both of these questions by considering the forms and function of data in Firbank's writings. It argues that Firbank's characteristic camp and elusive style can be understood as an examination of the information economy in which he was living, an economy that traded in flattened forms and decontextualized data.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRY 4.0 AS THE BASIS FOR ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT OF THE FORMATION OF THE FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC POTENTIAL OF AN INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISE IN UKRAINE

The processes of digital transformation today are driving forces of change in almost all spheres and industries, and also open up opportunities for the introduction of new technologies and the construction of digital business models. The aim of the article is to characterize the digital transformation of enterprise management and digital decision-making processes taking into account the development of Industry 4.0 in Ukraine. Digital transformation of business is a very necessary and relevant process, which serves as a driver for changes in the company, changing the needs of customers, the actions of competitors, and promotes the emergence of new technologies and services. The gap between Ukraine and most European states is significant, and, according to experts, it will take 3 to 5 years to overcome it, provided the economic situation is stable, as well as the inflow of investments. Instead, Ukraine has a fairly large potential and a developed IT sector, which is the driving force in the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies. The synergistic digital transformation of domestic governance, business, and industry, that involves the transition to European business standards in the context of the development of the information economy, digitalization, industrialization, digital transformations, informatization of society, and globalization of the economy, should become a challenge for Ukraine. These processes require improvement of competitiveness, income and infrastructure of enterprises; acceleration of digitization of the most promising sectors; wider use of IT products and services by domestic companies; strengthening the country's defense sector. As a result of business adherence to the leading principles of digital transformation, there is a gradual change in business processes and the transition to digitization using Industry 4.0 tools and models. Based on the project of the national development strategy 4.0, the article presents a SWOT analysis of the digital transformation of enterprise management and digital decision-making processes, taking into account the development of Industry 4.0 in Ukraine.

The article is devoted to the topical issue of the use of digital technologies in the development of cities: "management 2.0". The importance of "management 2.0" for the effective functioning of a smart city, which will be based on the principles of cloud technologies and IT solutions, has been proven. The basic provisions and features of "smart" (smart) management in the conditions of the spread of information economy standards are defined, namely: the city's intelligent transport network; open data and transparency of public procurement; participation of citizens in the management and distribution of public funds through electronic petitions; the field of education is developed; energy management; support of entrepreneurship and innovative activities; sustainability of the surrounding environment; environmental management; social responsibility; economic planning and viability. The components that hinder the development of smart cities and modern tools for their development are given: various subjects of management of utility networks; lack of urban mobility; individual decision-making by local communities; environmental problems. The main stages of the transition to smart city management have been formed: formation of a smart city development team; audit and planning of digital development; the involvement of cloud technologies and a unified data system; data collection, verification and geocoding; introduction of information and analytical environment; selection of adaptive analytical solutions; making management decisions based on a single data system; making a decision on the transition to planning and budgeting based on a single data system. The main directions of modeling the city's development have been determined: the construction of analytical dashboards, which will make it possible to visually assess the situation in the city with the help of tables, figures and graphs; introduction of analytical E-solutions; simulation of various scenarios of city development; assessment of marginal indicators of city security. Modeling will allow to reduce inefficient use of funds or limited resources of the city, to optimize operational activities of the city, to develop economic plans of the city in accordance with development strategies, to study the dynamics of changes in indicators and the interrelationship of changes between them, to make the right management decisions regarding the management of the city.

ВЕЛИКІ ДАНІ ТА ОЗЕРА ДАНИХ ЯК СКЛАДОВІ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНОЇ ЕКОНОМІКИ

The article is devoted to consideration of the importance of such components of the information economy as big data and data lakes. It is shown that in the process of unfolding the modern information technology revolution, information and information technologies are gaining increasing importance in the economy and social life. This is especially important in the context of the formation and development of the information economy. It is noted that the characteristic features of the information economy are its virtualization, the processing of large volumes of information based on the digitization of data, the use of quantum and neurotechnologies, artificial intelligence, wireless communication, the industrial Internet, sensors and robotics, digital platforms, etc., and the key technologies of the digital transformation of the economy and society are the Internet of Things, processing of structured and unstructured data of huge volumes, artificial intelligence and blockchain. Key commonalities and differences in big data and data lakes are shown, as well as their role in storing, processing and using large amounts of information. In particular, it states that "Big Data" has become shorthand for the technologies and analytical tools that help manage and query "big data" and represent three steps to a new way of analyzing information that will transform how we think about society and its organization: the first step - rejection of the sampling method; the second is the rejection of precision, and, finally, the third step is the rejection of centuries-old traditions of the search for causality. It is shown that along with big data, which stores processable and structured information, there are also data lakes, which are a system or centralized data repository where all structured, semi-structured, unstructured and binary data are stored in their natural, i.e., their own raw format. The further development of the information economy and the growth of the role and importance of information will lead to new requirements for the technologies of processing, storage and use of information resources.

Research on the Path of Economic Management Innovation and Development in the Context of Informatization

Abstract In the context of economic informatization, the traditional economic management model has been unable to fully meet the actual needs of enterprise development. Enterprises should take effective measures to innovate the economic management model, to achieve the informationization and modernization of economic management work. Based on the needs of economic management innovation, this paper constructs a multi-dimensional digital economic management innovation path based on informationization. Then, according to the fuzzy hierarchical analysis method, construct the evaluation index system of economic management informatization, take company H as an example to carry out empirical evaluation, and analyze the influencing factors of the level of economic management informatization by using the two-sample Z-test. Company H's final evaluation score for economic management informatization is 91.23, and the level of informatization is good. The P-value of the top management's attention to informatization, the cultivation of informatization talents, the innovation ability of informatization talents, the ability of the project to meet the demand, the reliable management system of information system maintenance personnel, and the monitoring system of the information system operation is less than 0.01, and the Z-value is greater than 1.96, and the difference of its results from the hypothesis is very significant, which indicates that these six items have the greatest influence on the informatization of economic management in Company H. Empirical cases and strategy suggestions for the informatization path of economic management are presented in this paper.

On the Role of Tax Planning in Small Business Entities

The article considers: the role of small business in the economy of states, theoretical and practical aspects of tax planning, tax burden management based on a critical analytical analysis of publications and the role of methodologies based on the analysis of indicators with which the amount of tax payments is correlated. Globalization and the growing challenges of the information and digital economy actualize the issues of: modernization of the Russian tax system in order to reduce the tax burden on business; simplification of the current system, increasing the importance of tax planning for all commercial organizations and small businesses as the most significant. The analysis of practical situations and financial indicators of small business enterprises gives grounds to assert that the management of the tax burden at small businesses is not carried out effectively enough, and with the use of illegal and labor-intensive methods. In addition, it is often associated with high risks for the "viability" of businesses and owners, since the optimization (minimization) of taxation is carried out using illegal methods and turns into tax evasion. In the course of the study, the author's methodology for calculating the smoothed integral indicator based on the use of tax burden coefficients for revenue, gross profit and net profit was tested. The results can be used by the management of commercial organizations to manage the tax burden, as well as by government agencies to optimize tax policy.

Connotation analysis of vocational literacy of higher vocational students in modern service industry based on MOA model

Abstract In order to cope with the challenges of the rapid development of the information society and economy, the educational reform aiming at students’ development of vocational literacy in higher vocational education has become a basic consensus in the field of global education. Based on MOA theory, this paper constructs the research hypotheses on the influencing factors of vocational literacy of higher vocational students in the modern service industry from the dimensions of motivation, opportunity and ability. Multiple linear regression theory is introduced to analyze the influencing factors of vocational literacy of higher vocational students in the modern service industry, and the regression coefficients are estimated by penalized quantile regression. In order to verify the application validity of the research hypotheses and regression model constructed based on MOA theory in this paper, an empirical analysis was carried out by using the data in the way of a questionnaire survey. The results show that the factor loading values of each variable of the model are higher than the critical value of 0.6, and most of the factor loading values are above 0.8. The correlation coefficients between vocational literacy and the dimensions of the influencing factors are all in the range of 0.2-0.5, and the adjusted R2 results of the model of motivation, opportunity as well and competence exceed 65% of the degree of explanation. The connotation of vocational literacy for higher vocational students of the modern service industry under the MOA theory needs to deeply excavate their motivation for learning and pay attention to the construction of the internal and external environments as a way of improving the learning ability of the students.

Философия управления: адаптация и трансляция опыта поколений

Modern management theory offers a large number of methods and approaches in management activities. In-terdisciplinary research reveals many factors that influence effective management in both small teams and global corporations. The study attempts to analyze national management models from the point of view of the theory of generations, which in this perspective is considered as a tool for translating and adapting the experi-ence of generations in management activities. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that in the era of in-formation and knowledge economy many managerial processes have become formalized and automated, meanwhile the highest managerial level remains, which requires a deep human awareness of the situation and wise decision-making. The research methodology is based on comparative and socio-cultural methods of scientific analysis. As a scientific and practical significance of the study, it is possible to highlight the actualiza-tion of the problem of management methods under the cultural paradigms of social space in the conditions of post-globalist trends.

Research promotion strategies to enhance research productivity in Tanzanian higher educational institutions

AbstractThere are low levels of research productivity among higher education institutions (HEIs) in Africa, which will likely compromise the continent's development agenda if not addressed. This study intends to develop a research framework to create a strategic roadmap that leverages leadership perspectives to foster a thriving research culture and contribute meaningfully to Tanzania's growth and development. We conducted a qualitative study involving higher education policy makers, senior university officials and academic staff from four sampled universities and two non‐university institutions that regulate Tanzania's higher education sector. The secondary data sources supported us in assessing the current state of research in Tanzanian HEI and the way forward. A thematic analysis revealed seven themes: research governance; capacity development strategy; reinforcement strategy; collaboration, networking and teamwork; establishment of research centres; dissemination strategy; and institutionalisation of research activities that can increase research productivity in the Tanzanian HEI context. This research adds to the literature on HEIs by identifying contextual strategy that can enhance research promotion in Tanzania and guide other African countries. In today's global information economy, research production is critical to the viability of HEIs and national development. This research aims to equip HEI leaders with a customised framework to help them direct their institutions towards research excellence and innovation.Context and implicationsRationale for this studyTanzania recognises the pivotal role of research in achieving socioeconomic objectives. The research productivity of higher education institutions (HEIs) is crucial in addressing local issues and fulfilling national agenda.Why the new findings matterThe findings reveal novel strategies for promoting research and how institutionalising them will enhance research engagement and productivity.ImplicationsThe research framework acts as a strategic guide for HEI policy makers that informs on how to encourage faculty and scholars and generate a better research output. The study shows how HEIs can institutionalise research, making it a part of its culture and mindset. The study has implications for the authorities and government bodies also, as the research productivity has a socio‐economic impact on national development.
