World Intellectual Capital Circulation: Brain Drain, High-Tech Products and Export of Technologies

The purpose of the present research is to reveal the global structure of intellectual capital flows, in which upstream emigration of scientists and researchers from donor countries enriches the intellectual capital and potential of the recipient countries, while intellectual products and technologies from recipient countries go downstream to donor countries. The research uses expert judgement to collect data. Institutional and comparative analyses are used to explain the structure of intellectual capital flows and to identify the reasons for the upstream emigration of intellectual capital and the downstream export of intellectual products. Econometric methods are used to explain the relationships between indices and scores. We reveal that all countries can be conditionally divided into two categories, namely donors and recipients of human intellectual capital. Donors supply scientists and researchers to recipient countries, and recipient countries supply high-tech products to donors. This situation is not only justified from the perspective of the international division of labor, but is also beneficial for both donor and recipient countries, as donors receive the necessary technology from recipients, and recipients replenish their need for scientists to create high-tech products. This constant circulation leads to the further impoverishment of developing countries, while at the same time becoming the basis for the enrichment of highly developed countries. According to the results of the study, we can conclude that three main characteristics act as factors to describe the global flows of intellectual capital: 1. As recipient countries offer better living and working conditions, higher wages and more secure human rights, the outflow of scientists from donor countries seems to be a natural phenomenon. 2. Research shows that donor countries lack the demand for scientists and their development, as these countries receive high technologies and products from recipient countries, which means that donor countries' policy is aimed at reducing their funding for science. 3. On the contrary, the demand for scientists in recipient countries is growing as high-tech products become the main export commodity. Recipient countries of intellectual human capital have no other export opportunities – they are poor in minerals and the high-tech sector is the only way to balance the country's payments.

Workforce ecosystems as a model for human capital management in the digital age

This paper discusses the use of workforce ecosystems to manage human intellectual capital. The need for work ecosystems has emerged in the digital age because of the rapid growth in the number of engaged partners and freelancers in the digitalization of enterprises. It is shown that this growth is directly related to the use of agile management systems in design and development: agile, DevOps, microservice architecture, turquoise practices, etc. The information systems needed to manage workforce ecosystems should have competency-based metrics to link business needs, recruitment and training, and finding new partners. At the same time, training should be prioritized over recruitment and the search for new partners in the context of staff shortages. When automating workforce ecosystems, a platform approach should be used to integrate both corporate HR, time and business process management systems, and similar systems from partners.

Standalone Valuation Method for Software-as-a-Service Operational Knowledge Derived from Human Intellectual Capital Qualitative Changes

This study focuses on digital operational knowledge belonging to natural persons and proposes a greenfield approach to differentiate the value of intangibles from that of human intellectual capital. Our research approach involves two assessments. Assessment 1 evaluates intangible assets using the internally generated goodwill (IGG) measure. We analyze time-series IGG data for six digital sectors, using the top 90 software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies as a benchmark. The results indicate that the IGG of the SaaS benchmark is higher than the total IGG of the six sectors. Assessment 2 focuses on the correlation between digital labor investment and digital investment returns before and after 2013 for the six sectors to identify positive and negative correlations from 2013 onward. The results indicate that, since 2013, a qualitative change has occurred in digital labor capital that has not been reflected in financial statements because of accounting distortions and that the returns on investment for digital labor have been underestimated. The standalone valuation of digital know-how that belongs to natural persons, previously based on operating expense, will be based on capital expenditure. In addition, amortization will have the same contribution as depreciation of tangible assets to value creation.

Reforming higher Professional Education in Russia in changing Geopolitical conditions

During the period of work of Russian universities according to the rules of the Bologna system, the quality of higher education has decreased.

Strategic documents and practical results of the activities of universities have been studied. The analysis of official sources of information and scientific publications of domestic and foreign authors revealed problem areas in the training of specialists by Russian universities. The key role of higher education in the reproduction of human intellectual capital has been proven. Recommendations for improving the organization of the educational process and resource support for the training of students at various levels of ISCED-2011 have been formulated.

Investments in Human Capital: intellectual, organizational physical resources

The object of the study is the investment in human capital. Subject – new forms of investment in human capital in modern conditions. The purpose of the study is to determine the factors influencing the diffusion of innovations and digital technologies on the effectiveness of investments in human capital. The research is based on general scientific methods and a review of foreign scientific literature. As a result of the study the authors declare the necessity of accumulation of human capital and optimization of its use to provide the economic development of organizations, regions and the country as a whole in modern conditions. The development of information and communication technologies leads to an increase in the role of human capital, including its convergent components: physical capital; intellectual human resources and organizational capital. At the same time, there is an urgent need to conduct an inventory of human resources at the level of organizations and local government. Such transformations are possible only through continuous improvement of the quality of educational potential, which will help maintain the quality of human capital indicators in the relevant entities at the proper level. It is concluded that human resources, when developed and properly used, easily converge with each other, which contributes to the rapid accumulation of human capital. Investments in a changing socio-economic environment, saturated with digital technologies and elements of artificial intelligence that ensure faster monetization and practical application of human capital.

ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLECTUAL POTENTIAL OF KAZAKHSTAN IN THE CONDITIONS OF INNOVATIVE ECONOMY

The innovative economy was created, is being created and is developing jointly and in parallel with the growth of the quality and value of the accumulated intellectual potential, i.e. in parallel with the development of science, and intellectual human capital is the main factor in its development. And the accumulated high-quality intellectual potential serves as the main part of the foundation of the innovative economy sector, as well as the knowledge economy. The purpose of the study is to identify the main problems in the development of intellectual potential in the formation of an innovative economy. The study was conducted based on a system-structural-functional approach, a SWOT analysis of the development of intellectual potential of Kazakhstan was carried out. The analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the intellectual potential of Kazakhstan allowed not only to show the positive sides, but also to identify the main shortcomings in the development of intellectual potential and problems in the formation of an innovative economy. The development of intellectual potential is hindered by the underdevelopment of infrastructure for education and research; inequality in the quality of education in urban and rural schools, national, regional and private higher education institutions; migration of talented people, mainly with technical education abroad in search of better opportunities; lack of a strong tradition of scientific and technological innovations; reduction in the number of scientists, a small number of researchers with an academic degree. Based on the results of the analysis, the system conditions for the formation of an innovative economy in a country where the formation of human capital with the corresponding intellectual potential is the main one are proposed. The results of the study, in our opinion, will allow us to activate the formation of an innovative economy in the country, and the identified strategic priorities for the formation of intellectual potential will allow us to focus on those points that need to be developed in this context.

Keywords: verification, intellectual human capital, economic entities, functional mechanism of verification, functional mechanism of analysis, the conditions of preservation, analysis of the results of a complex audit, complex analysis, confirmation of authenticity.

Impact of Intellectual Human Capital and Knowledge Acquisition Capabilities on Financial Performances of Indigenous Craft Industries in Sri Lanka

The study seeks to investigate the impact of intellectual human capital and knowledge acquisition capabilities on the firm’s financial performance, particularly in indigenous craft industries in Sri Lanka. The quantitative data were collected from 355 owners of indigenous craft industries located in traditional handicrafts villages in Sri Lanka and analyzed with the help of a Partial Least Squire Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM). The empirical results show that intellectual human capital has a significant positive impact on the financial performance of indigenous craft industries. Further, it was found that knowledge acquisition capabilities have a significant positive impact on the firm’s financial performance. In addition, the study identified that knowledge acquisition capabilities have a significant positive mediating effect on the relationship between intellectual human capital and the firm’s financial performance. Thus, the study found that the intellectual human capital of owners is the most powerful intangible resource, which has a significant positive impact on a firm’s financial performance. The study suggests to owners of the indigenous craft industries, policymakers, donors, and others to incorporate the strategies to develop and strengthen the efficiency and productivity of intellectual human capital to improve their financial performance.

Assisted-Driven Design of Customized Maintenance Plans for Industrial Plants

Current production systems that respond to market demands with high rates of production change and customization use complex systems. These systems are machines with a high capacity for communication, sensing and self-diagnosis, although they are susceptible to failures, breakdowns and a loss of reliability. The amount of data they provide as a productive system and, individually, as a machine can be treated to improve customized maintenance plans. The objective of this work, with an operational scope, is to collect and exploit the knowledge acquired in the industrial plant on failures and breakdowns based on its historical data. The acquisition of the aforementioned data is channeled through the human intellectual capital of the work groups formed for this purpose. Once this knowledge is acquired and available in a worksheet format according to the Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) methodology, it is implemented using Case-Based Reasoning algorithms in a Java application developed for this purpose to carry out the process of RCM, accessing a base of similar cases that can be adapted. This operational definition allows for the control of the maintenance function of an industrial plant in the short term, with a weekly horizon, to design a maintenance plan adjusted to the reality of the plant in its current operating context, which may differ greatly from the originally projected plan or from any other plan caused by new production requirements. This new plan designed as such will apply changes to the equipment, which make up the production system, as a consequence of the adaptation to the changing market demand. As a result, a computer application has been designed, implemented and validated that allows, through the incorporation of RCM cases already successfully carried out on the productive system of the plant, for the development of a customized maintenance plan through an assistant, which, in a conductive way, guides the plant maintenance engineer through their design process, minimizing human error and design time and leveraging existing intellectual capital.

Современные тенденции развития человеческого потенциала

Theoretical aspects of the formation and practical implementation of human potential as a complex scientific category, the key component of which is education, are being studied. The purpose of the article is to identify the features of the accumulation of human potential, manifested in the objective aspirations of various actors in the context of the transformation of geopolitical and mega-economic reality. The object of the study is the Russian education system, its characteristic features and influence on the accumulation of human potential. The subject of the study is the transformation of economic relations in the field of education in the context of changing goals of social development. The evolution of the essential characteristics of human potential and its relationship with educational potential and human intellectual capital is considered in the works of various scientists. Based on scientific publications and information sources, key indicators have been identified that characterize the contribution of the education system to the functioning and development of human potential; for a number of positions, the indicators were compared with the countries of the BRICS coalition and other foreign countries. It has been established that to measure the educational potential of the population, it is advisable to use such qualitative indicators as: 1) the level of education of the adult population and its component - the level of vocational education, 2) the number of students per 1000 people of the population; to reflect the demand for the educational potential of the population in the labour market, indicators of employment and unemployment are acceptable (in relation to the level of education); The rating of the domestic education system at the international level is characterized by the number of foreign students studying in Russian universities. Conclusions about the timeliness of updating the priorities of public and state policy in the direction of the internationalization of education and the intensification of activities to attract citizens of friendly foreign countries to receive professional education in Russia are made.

THE CRISIS IN THE HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM OF CONTEMPORARY UKRAINE IN THE CONTEXT OF NATIONAL SECURITY CHALLENGES

The article analyzes the state of the art in the Ukrainian higher education system and education reform during the post-Maidan period. Political, economic factors of university reform are examined in detail for an insight into the transformations over the last years. Special attention is paid to the close correlation between the institutional dynamics of higher education and political factors – the ideology of reform and the government policy in higher education, the political line-up in the parliament and MPs’ views on education and research. The author finds that modernization in higher education during this period was largely correlated with the dynamics of the political transformation of the government.
 Two periods in university policy are singled out: the reform period (from mid-2014 to mid-2016) and the stabilization period (2016–2019). The author elicits that the current crisis in the Ukrainian higher education system is caused by the attempt to implement neoliberal approaches toward university policy, while failing to address and even exacerbating unresolved post-Soviet problems. The decline in the quality of higher education has a negative impact on Ukraine's economic competitiveness, the reproduction of the nation's intellectual resources and human capital, as well as social cohesion. It may also trigger new humanitarian security challenges.
 In the second part of the article, the author focuses on the macroeconomic conditions for the development of higher education in 2014–2019, the dynamics of public funding and the structure of education expenditures. The analysis finds that during this period, the share of higher education expenditures in the structure of total public expenditures also decreased, and the rationale of the government was motivated by neoliberal approaches.
 Particular attention is paid to the analysis of science and research funding in Ukraine. Currently, academic research is in deep crisis, and the system of public funding of Research and Development is inefficient. University research remains underfunded, which results in the further deterioration of the already low research and innovation capacity of national universities. The level of public funding for science in 2014–2019 was the lowest in twenty years and amounted to 0.2–0.25 % of GDP, which did not cover even the minimum needs of the industry. The critical state of affairs in science and research is potentially a national security challenge, as it undermines opportunities for the technological modernization of the national economy, the development of innovative industries, and contributes to the leaking of intellectual resources from Ukraine.

The Level of Knowledge and Skills of Teachers in Discipline Management

High self-discipline is capable of producing self-esteemed human capital. Schools are the place to build self-esteem among students as well as at home. This study was conducted to identify the level of knowledge and skills of teachers on student’s discipline management in a primary school in Song district, Sarawak. The study also explores whether there is a difference in the level of management of student discipline based on demographic factors of the teacher. Therefore, we use exploratory case studies using holistic methods to focus on the two key aspects of identifying the level of knowledge and skills of teachers in disciplinary management. Accordingly, the interview approach was used to study 6 teachers to see the level of discipline management in the school. The findings have summarized the teacher's description of the level of disciplinary management in this school that is very high and proficient. In conclusion, this study explains that discipline management efficiency in schools can produce a balanced, physical, emotional, spiritual and intellectual human capital.

ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ ПОТЕНЦИАЛА ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСКОГО КАПИТАЛА ПРЕДПЕНСИОНЕРОВ В РЕШЕНИИ ЗАДАЧИ СНИЖЕНИЯ БЕЗРАБОТИЦЫ И ТРУДОУСТРОЙСТВА СТУДЕНТОВ И ВЫПУСКНИКОВ ВУЗОВ: ТЕОРЕТИЧЕСКИЕ АСПЕКТЫ

The article examines the accumulation of intellectual human capital and highlights the characteristic age periods of its formation. A graphic model of the accumulation and interaction of intellectual human capital of pre-retirees and young people has been developed. On the basis of the analysis of migration processes in Altai Krai, the relevance of such interaction has been justified. A theoretical and comparative analysis of the employment status of higher and secondary specialized educational institution graduates has been carried out. There is an increase in the unemployment of young specialists with higher education and the discrepancy of performed work under the received specialty due to lack of experience. A variant of acquiring such experience is proposed by means of students’ study and work combining in senior courses in interaction with specialists of pre-retirement age, who possess intellectual human capital and remain in the labor market due to the increase in the retirement age. The author believes that the proposed interaction between students and pre-retirees should be implemented within the framework of the Demography and Labor Productivity and Employment Support national projects.

Aspects of Research Training and Commercialization Research Results

The synergy of integration of science and education gives an accelerated educational effect in the training of highly qualified researchers. The accelerated process of training highly qualified researchers is implemented through the integration of higher education with advanced research fundamental science. Education and science, especially in their synergistic synthesis, are increasingly becoming the engine of technological progress, without which socio-economic progress is unthinkable in our time. High-quality training of researchers, based on an alliance with scientific activities, is a priority policy in all developed countries of the world, as well as a necessary component of the institutional structure of an innovative economy and business. The reproduction of highly qualified researchers who meet the requirements of an innovative economy and business has a high priority. Large corporations should invest sufficiently in research and development in the field of high technology, training specialists of appropriate quantity and quality, and form a system of public-private partnership in higher education. The creation of large educational complexes based on the joint activities of the university and the production sector is one of the most important areas of intersectoral cooperation for the development of high-tech industry. The commercialization of the transdisciplinary research process and its reproduction is difficult in the national framework due to the lack of the necessary modern technology and technology, skilled personnel, narrowness of the domestic market, and insufficient investment. Commercialization and reproduction of the transdisciplinary research process is possible only with intensive foreign economic relations and the reproduction of intellectual and research human capital.
