The influence of management decisions on the process of procurement for public needs

The author considers the issues of defining procurement in the Russian Federation and analyzes certain scientific legal positions devoted to the genesis of the institute of procurement for public needs. The author analyzes the opinions of scientists on the issue of division into stages and classification of these stages of procurement for public needs at which management decisions are made. Based on the analysis, the author attempts to formulate a definition of procurement for public needs. The author analyzes the fact of the influence of a managerial decision on the procurement process for public needs, proposes a classification of the stages of managerial decision-making in procurement, analyzes the relationship between managerial decisions and the results of procurement. According to the results of the study, the author justified the opinion that the adoption of each of the management decisions directly affects both the implementation of the subsequent stages and the result of the procurement for public needs as a whole.

Influence of the performance of management decisions on the process of using the strategic potential of the enterprise

The article examines the specifics of the influence of management decisions' effectiveness on using the company's strategic potential. For the strategic potential of the enterprise to be used effectively, it is necessary to establish the process of making effective management decisions. Many domestic and foreign scientists deal with the issues of studying the potential of the enterprise in general and the strategic potential of the enterprise in particular. However, the influence of management decisions on using the enterprise's strategic potential has practically not been investigated. An analysis of the main theories of the essence of the definition of «potential» was carried out. The structure of the strategic potential of the economic entity, which includes various types of local potentials, is summarized. Management of the process of forming the company's strategic potential in today's challenging conditions is critical because it makes it possible to analyze the influence of external and internal environmental factors and predict the presence of potential threats and opportunities to eliminate them. The main stages that should be included in strategic potential management are considered. In general, to assess the management of the strategic potential of a business entity, it is necessary to use three main methods: analysis of the internal and external environment of the enterprise's functioning, analysis of competitiveness and competitive advantages, and analysis of the life cycle concept. «Potential Square» is used to comprehensively assess and analyze the state of enterprises' strategic potential. This method assesses four main blocks of strategic potential: production, distribution, and sales of products; organizational structure and management; marketing, logistics, and service. In the process of using the strategic potential of the enterprise, the effectiveness of the management decision becomes essential, and it is crucial not only to manage management decisions but also to know the requirements for the correctness of the chosen decision. Keywords: enterprise, potential, performance, strategic potential, strategic management, management decision.

Management of logistics transformation of the educational process

The article examines the peculiarities of logistics systems in modern military conditions. An analysis of the structure of the concept of “logistics systems” by many authors was made. This analysis includes the selection of: the essence of the phenomenon, the content of the phenomenon and its result. A classification of existing approaches to defining the concept of “logistics systems” has been carried out. Conducted critical evaluation of different approaches to the concept of “logistics systems” on a five-point scale, which made it possible to identify the definition with the highest rating. The results of the conducted research made it possible to determine that the logistics system is a system that has variable and constant elements in its composition, which changes over time under the influence of management decisions, which are based on the analysis of the internal and external environment in order to increase the efficiency and profitability of the enterprise. Restoration of the educational process in schools and educational institutions of various levels during the period of Russian military operations on the territory of Ukraine is one of the priority areas. Many students and teachers are outside Ukraine, but they should not lose contact with their educational institutions and the opportunity to study/work. However, the main condition for the restoration/continuation of the educational process is the safety of all its participants. There are a number of educational institutions in Ukraine that were moved from the temporarily occupied territory to other regions of Ukraine. The article provides a list of relocated higher education institutions as of October 2023. As a result of the conducted research, the components of the logistic transformation of the educational process were formed in the article, which will make it possible to optimize the logistic systems of the educational process, identify "bottlenecks" and eliminate them in a timely manner. As of October 2023, 31 higher education institutions were relocated on the territory of Ukraine.

Research on risk analysis and prevention policy of coal mine workers' group behavior based on evolutionary game

The analysis and prevention of behavior risk is one of the important measures to reduce accidents. This research adopts the game method to study group safety behavior, and applies the research to behavioral risk prevention in the daily safety management of coal mining enterprises. First, the influencing factors and quantitative relationship of group behavior were determined through investigation. Then, the dynamic game matrix was constructed, and the dynamic game evolution model of "formal group--informal group" was established. The evolution law of group safety behavior was discussed and analyzed from 3 aspects, i.e., management decision, environment, and manager. Finally, the research was applied to coal mine enterprises, and its effectiveness was verified by summarizing and analyzing the behavior violation data for 2 years. It was found that under the influence of management decisions, the level of safe behavior increased by 21.875% in formal groups, and increased by 21.467% in informal groups. In addition, under the influence of the group environment, the level of safe behavior decreased by 79.875% and 86.667% in formal groups and informal groups, respectively. The research explains the dynamic evolution law of coal mine workers and provides a theoretical basis and reference for the management and control of coal mine workers' unsafe behavior.

Social influence and forest habitat conservation: Experimental evidence from Vermont's maple producers

AbstractWorking landscapes can provide biodiversity and ecosystem services. Many voluntary conservation programs ask those who manage working lands—farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners—to steward their resources in ways that maintain or increase these benefits. While research on landowners suggests the importance of social influence in management decisions, few studies have tested whether providing information about the behavior and opinions of others affects decisions related to private land and forest management, stewardship, or conservation. Using a randomized controlled trial design, we mailed three versions of a solicitation letter for a bird habitat conservation program to 967 individuals who manage forests to produce maple syrup. Maple producers who were messaged about recognition for participation were as likely to ask for more information about the program as those who received only a control message that described the program. Providing information about the participation of others had a negative effect on the number of producers requesting information compared to the control. These results highlight the importance of context in using social influence to change land manager behavior. Findings are relevant to conservation researchers and practitioners, offering applications of behavioral science to improve biodiversity and ecosystem service outcomes on private lands.

BEEF SPECIES-RUMINANT NUTRITION CACTUS BEEF SYMPOSIUM: Influence of management decisions during heifer development on enhancing reproductive success and cow longevity1.

Profitability of beef cattle producers can be directly tied to the productive lifespan of a cow. Management decisions influencing heifer nutrition and reproduction play a key role in establishing heifer fertility and longevity. Altering feeding strategies to utilize compensatory growth has been reported to have a positive influence on fertility during the first breeding season; however, there are discrepancies in the literature as to the impact this strategy may have on the proportion of heifers attaining puberty prior to entering their first breeding season. Ultimately, this may affect lifetime productivity as heifers born early in the calving season produce more kilograms of weaned calf over their first 6 calves, as well as, remain in the herd longer than those animals born later in the calving season. Thus, incorporation of reproductive technologies to identify fertile animals or aid in improving conception earlier in the breeding season may improve heifer reproductive performance and longevity. Reproductive tract scores have been utilized to identify animals which are more reproductively mature, increasing the likelihood of successful artificial insemination. Antral follicle counts (AFC), which predict the number of follicles in the ovarian reserve, have not only been reported to have a moderate to high heritability, but have also been used to identify animals with greater reproductive potential. Beef heifers classified as high AFC have greater pregnancy rates and longevity than low AFC heifers. Additionally, maternal diet may play a role in influencing reproductive success and ultimately cow longevity. Improving maternal plane of nutrition has been reported to increase female offspring pregnancy rates. Overall, recent research has provided producers with a variety of methods to optimize animal performance while enhancing reproductive success and longevity to ensure profitability.

Firm specific management decisions on Total Factor Productivity Growth in Indian electronics industry during liberalisation

This paper analyses the influence of operational management decisions on Technical Efficiency Change (TEC) and Technological Progress (TP) and thereby Total Factor Productivity Growth (TFPG) in four sectors of Indian hardware electronics industry after liberalisation. A three-step approach has been followed. The steps involves estimation of a potential stochastic production function, measuring the contribution of TEC and TP to TFPG and finally analysing the influence of management decision variables on TEC and TP using a management decision model on a panel data. The sectors achieved steady TP but not TEC. Asset utilisation, vertical integration improved TP and TEC while R&D investments and technology imports proved costly.

The influence of management decisions and external factors on the dairy farmer's environmentally friendly farming objective: the Green Dairy experience

Ten dairy farms participated in an EU project that aimed to improve nitrogen use and assist with the adoption of more environmentally friendly farming practices. Nitrogen use and management decisions were monitored during 2003, 2004 and 2005. Nine farms improved nitrogen use (nitrogen output relative to input) in Year 2. Four farms maintained or further improved nitrogen use in Year 3. Management decisions and external factors that improved nitrogen use were increasing farm milk output, adopting best management practices for nitrogen use, growing forage crops that required less nitrogen than grass and favourable crop production conditions that rendered large quantities of good quality forage. Decisions that worsened nitrogen use were increasing cow numbers without sufficient management support, the late start of supplementary feeding when grass quality declined, setting the target yield too high, pursuing a higher milk price, less palatable silage and disease. Sufficient slurry storage is essential to improving nitrogen use. The savings from lower nitrogen input and the revenue from milk were in no proportion to the investments required for additional slurry storage, however. The farmers did adopt environmentally friendly practices, but only to the degree their businesses were able to sustain.

Increasing the Organizational Influence of Corporate Consumer Affairs Departments

Empirical research suggests that most corporate consumer affairs departments are not a part of the decision‐making structure of their respective firms. The typical consumer affairs department appears to have little influence in management decisions that affect consumer satisfaction and welfare. As a result, it is of limited value for the consumer.A reason for the isolation of consumer affairs from corporate decision making may be that the department's contribution to the firm's welfare is not well understood. By showing a significant contribution to company sales, the consumer affairs department would be in a position to gain influence in the profit‐seeking organization. The article identifies the relationship between sales and complaint management within a marketing framework and develops objectives for complaint management that maximize the consumer affairs department's contribution to sales thereby enhancing the power base of the department within the business organization.
