Formalization of Regional Strategies with Allowance for the Long-Term Consequences of the Interaction between Internal and External Components of Regional Socio-Economic Systems

Aim. The presented study aims to define a methodological approach to the formalization of regional strategies with allowance for the prospective benefits from the interaction between internal and external components of regional socio-economic systems for the national economy.Tasks. The authors determine the essence of strategic management of regional development by analyzing the internal processes of the interaction between subsystems, components, and elements of the region as a complex socio-economic system; compare the specific features of the functioning and interaction of administrative divisions in a planned and market economy; substantiate the principles of mutually beneficial interregional interaction and the need to improve supra-regional economic efficiency in view of the allowance made for the projected effects of interregional interaction in rational strategic planning; define the concept of strategic management of regional socio-economic systems and formulate an approach to the formation of the management process.Methods. This study use general scientific methods, including systems analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction, detalization and generalization, modelling.Results. The process of formation and coordination of regional strategies is conceptualized as a basic element of the organizational mechanism of strategic management of the functioning and development of regional socio-economic systems. A system diagram is provided that makes allowance for three hierarchical levels of management (federal, interregional, regional), each acting on the appropriate level of abstraction and introducing its inherent critical aspects of rational planning of national spatial development. It is shown that strategic planning of interregional interaction at the supra-regional level makes it advisable to develop multi-regional, multi-sectoral computer models that would help to achieve a state of interaction close to economic equilibrium, thus ensuring future functioning of the national economy based on the planning principle applied in a brand new way.Conclusions. The system of strategic management of regional development and interregional interaction should be a multilevel, hierarchically ordered mechanism for the formation and implementation of a strategic plan for the spatial development of the country. Such a system should be aimed at functionally maintaining social and economic, planned and competitive balance between national expediency determined by state strategic priorities and independent regional development guidelines without degenerating into bureaucratic formalism when creating regional development concepts on the one hand and without turning into a constant competitive struggle of divergent interests of the regions on the other. It is advisable to develop an integrated (supra-regional) approach to the strategic management of regions as regional socio-economic systems based on the conceptual organizational-managerial mechanism for their functioning and development. This approach should be aimed at achieving the planned supra-regional efficiency (socio-economic balance) using not-yet-manifested projected interregional synergetic and agglomeration effects from the use of interregional (national) infrastructure, scientifically based implementation of absolute and relative regional advantages in the process of determining and planning future regional specialization at the federal level, deployment and development of the territorial cores of intersectoral clusters serving as the starting points of growth for an optimally balanced crystal lattice of spatial development on the national scale, implementation of interregional interaction of expected quantity and quality, mathematically justified with allowance for the needs of interregional and intersectoral exchange, intra- and intersystem structures, elements, communicative relationships, dynamics and stages of the life cycle of industries, organizations, the ability to adapt to changes in the external environment of the regions included in the system.

In the article the authors highlight the main methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of competitive development of enterprises in the face of intensifying competition in the markets caused by the processes of globalization of international economic relations. The presence of a wide range of approaches in domestic and foreign literature made it possible to form their own vision of this problem. Based on the analysis, basic groups of approaches to measuring the effectiveness of competitive development are formed on the basis of comparison of efficiency indicators, comparison of competitive advantages and measurement of competitiveness on the basis of market share. The tools for assessing competitive development at different hierarchical levels of management were considered (macro-level – the competitiveness of the country, meso-level – the competitiveness of the industry, micro-level – the competitiveness of the enterprise). Methodological tools are proposed, which consists in building a matrix of standardized values of partial indicators of competitive development of enterprises in order to rank them according to the integrated indicator of the level of competitiveness of each individual enterprise. Considering the competitive development from the standpoint of the competitiveness of the enterprise, it is established that its strategic priorities are interrelated and determined by the goals of which the company seeks to achieve in the market. It is proposed to pay attention to the trajectories of competitive development, selection of methods and tools for forming a system of competitive development management, a set of strategic relationships, and resource provision of competitive development.

Глобальные вызовы и формирование стратегии устойчивого развития автомобильной промышленности России

The purpose of the article is, based on the analysis of global trends in the development of the world automotive industry, to identify the development problems of the Russian automotive industry, to formulate key aspects of improving the strategic management of the industry development. The COVID‑19 pandemic has demonstrated the vulnerability of globalized supply chains, accelerated the digital transformation of the economy, and the development of CASE (Connected, Autonomous, Shared & Services, Electric) technologies in the automotive industry. Russia lags far behind other countries in readiness to use such technologies. It is obvious that the global pandemic will lead to the emergence of different car markets, the Russian market by the world’s leading car manufacturers in the long term will be considered as a market for cars with gasoline and diesel engines. The global challenges caused by the COVID‑19 pandemic, the development of new technologies, the existing imbalance between production capacities and the demand for automotive equipment, a low level of localization of production, and low export potential of the Russian automotive industry actualize the issues of improving the strategic management of the industry development. The analysis of strategies and programs for the development of the automotive industry indicates a weak account of the economic potential and risks of the industry development, weak coordination of hierarchically related state, regional, cluster and corporate strategies and development programs. The paper proposes a hierarchical approach to the process of strategic planning for the development of the automotive industry, based on the principles of consistency and subordination of state programs, sectoral, regional, cluster and corporate strategic development plans, which allows balancing the interests of federal and regional governments and automotive corporations, resources and development projects. Coordination of strategic plans and programs for the development of the automotive industry consists in the coordination of: target indicators of strategies and programs of different hierarchical levels of management; activities and timing of programs; conditions for the provision of funds from the federal and regional budgets to finance programs; mechanisms for the implementation of strategies and programs. Given the global challenges, strategic documents at the national, sectoral and corporate levels should be focused not only on overcoming the consequences of economic crises, but also on ensuring sustainable development in the long term. Thus, it is advisable to talk about the formation of not just a strategy for the development of the automotive industry in Russia, but about strategies for the sustainable development of this industry and corporations within it, developed in accordance with national and international documents.

Habitat suitability and connectivity modeling reveal priority areas for Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) conservation in a complex habitat mosaic

ContextConservation for the Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis), a federally endangered species in the United States of America, is typically focused on local maternity sites; however, the species is a regional migrant, interacting with the environment at multiple spatial scales. Hierarchical levels of management may be necessary, but we have limited knowledge of landscape-level ecology, distribution, and connectivity of suitable areas in complex landscapes.ObjectivesWe sought to (1) identify factors influencing M. sodalis maternity colony distribution in a mosaic landscape, (2) map suitable maternity habitat, and (3) quantify connectivity importance of patches to direct conservation action.MethodsUsing 3 decades of occurrence data, we tested a priori, hypothesis-driven habitat suitability models. We mapped suitable areas and quantified connectivity importance of habitat patches with probabilistic habitat availability metrics.ResultsFactors improving landscape-scale suitability included limited agriculture, more forest cover, forest edge, proximity to medium-sized water bodies, lower elevations, and limited urban development. Areas closer to hibernacula and rivers were suitable. Binary maps showed that 30% of the study area was suitable for M. sodalis and 29% was important for connectivity. Most suitable patches were important for intra-patch connectivity and far fewer contributed to inter-patch connectivity.ConclusionsWhile simple models may be effective for small, homogenous landscapes, complex models are needed to explain habitat suitability in large, mixed landscapes. Suitability modeling identified factors that made sites attractive as maternity areas. Connectivity analysis improved our understanding of important areas for bats and prioritized areas to target for restoration.

ACCOUNTING OF EXPENDITURE MANAGEMENT TACTICS

The article analyzes the methodological approaches to the operational management of costs, defined as tactics, accounting tools. Such a methodology should be formed and detailed for macro and micro levels, taking into account the needs of management at each level of the hierarchy. The author interprets the category of “cost management” as a process of choosing the means of influencing expenses in order to achieve strategic goals of activity at hierarchical levels of management. The essence of the current and strategic cost management is disclosed, the place of accounting support for the cost management tactics for an agricultural enterprise is determined. The hierarchical levels of providing cost management in the context of the current, tactical and strategic levels of management for managers of lower, middle and senior management of an agricultural enterprise are given. To identify the features of cost management and determine ways to improve efficiency, the financial data of Mironovsky Hleboproduct PJSC for 2013-2018 was considered. It is determined that the cost management system will be effective if the particularities of the type of enterprise are taken into account, all management processes are covered. A system of indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of information support for tactics of cost management by coefficients with a given information base and calculation methodology has been formed. A constructive scheme of information support for the tactics of cost management of agricultural enterprises has been developed. The policy of accounting support for the tactics of managing the costs of an agricultural enterprise is justified. Using the developed proposals will increase the tactical level of management by expanding the methodological base for cost analysis based on accounting software. Prospects for further research are to determine the methodology for creating an accounting information reflection procedure to ensure cost management tactics, including for various types of agricultural enterprises.

Management accounting of agricultural production: improving planning and standardization of costs in the management information system

The problems of organizing effective management accounting of agricultural production through the widespread use of economic methods, both production management and accounting and management methods and the development of their information functions, are very relevant and necessary. Management accounting in modern times is a universal integrated mechanism for the accounting and management activities of an agricultural organization. The management accounting information system should be oriented towards solving complex issues and making managerial decisions quickly. The purpose of the study is the rationale for rationing, planning and management accounting of costs, their control and analysis of production results in the agricultural management information system. The subject of the study is management accounting, while principles are formulated and new methods for rationing labor, material and biological costs of agricultural production are proposed. A unified nomenclature of cost items has been developed for planning, managerial accounting, analysis and control, both for individual production, accounting and planning objects, as well as for self-supporting units (responsibility centers) and the organization as a whole. For the organization of rationing, planning and management accounting of production costs, the sequence of implementation of special procedures is defined, a unified nomenclature of cost items is developed based on the basic conditions of requirements, which include classification attributes, degree of cost participation in the creation of new products, cost control by hierarchical levels of management. It is concluded that by comparing the actual and planned costs for the production of a particular object of planning and accounting, it is possible to analyze their cause and effect deviations, deviations of the actual marginal income and operating profit of the production of these products from their normative values ​​by changing each specific cost item.

Influence of Characteristics of the Organizational Structure of Management on Level and Structure of Transactional Costs of Firm

Efficiency of goal achievement of the organization, implementation its strategy, efficiency of interaction with the external environment is in many respects determined by the correct creation of an organizational structure of management. Main goal of existence of an organizational structure of management is ensuring sustainable development of the organization. Achievement of this purpose is carried out by means of improvement of ways of interaction of the organization with the external environment, and also interactions of elements in the organization. Exact feature of management- based organizational has great influence on structure of transactional costs of that organization. High transactional costs reduce efficiency of functioning of the organization. It is possible to increase efficiency of organization activity by management of transactional expenses. Classification of transactional costs is given in this work, the main characteristics of an organizational structure of management are considered too. The analysis of influence of the following factors: level of formalization of an organizational structure of management, extent of centralization of an organizational structure of management, number of hierarchical levels of management, number of hierarchical levels of management, number of functional divisions, control range on the transactional costs was completed.

ASSESSMENT OF INVESTMENT CLIMATE FACTORS AS UNSYSTEMATIC RISK

The efficiency of invБринestment activity, depends, on the one hand, on the validity, relevance and objectivity of investment decisions, that is on the methodology and methods of justification of investment decisions, and on the other hand, it depends on the mechanisms of investment objects choice. This paper proposes an original way of consistent assessment of the investment climate factors and unsystematic risk on the basis of the by authors developed «AVS-matrix.» Rating of the investment climate attractiveness is primarily a problem of identifying and measuring the main factors forming investment climate. For this purpose the authors have developed the «AVS-matrix», which presents the factors determining the investment climate in their manifestation at different hierarchical levels of management, particularly on «enterprise – industry – region – national economy (country) level.» The proposed matrix can be used to assess the factors that determine the investment climate, and risks having unsystematic, diversifiable nature. As is known, the risks being uncertainties significantly affect the real value of expected return of investment projects. Therefore, development of methods for adequate risk assessment seems to be very actual. Calculated with «AVS-matrix», the evaluation of the investment climate attractiveness and investment risk becomes an objective basis to develop ways of reforming the investment policy on hierarchical levels of management in order to increase the investment attractiveness of the enterprise, industry, region and the country as a whole. It allows not only to take an appropriate decision to invest in specific projects , but also to develop for each level of management effective measures to enhance the role of positive factors and reduce the impact or eliminate barrier and limiting factors that cause increased risk and hamper investment.
