Strategic Planning as a Factor of Public Administration in Ukraine

The article considers strategic planning issues as a factor of public administration in Ukraine. Consideration of strategic planning in the system of public administration is carried out based on factor analysis of the study of legal phenomena in the context of modern methodological principles of the theory of administrative law and the theory of public administration. The study's relevance is due to the need to increase the effectiveness of public administration of socio-economic development and national security in terms of integration into the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It is noted that Ukraine has accumulated experience in public administration, methods and tools, which continue to dominate, despite the development of a new system of the socio-economic structure. The need for sustainable socio-economic development and national security as a strategic goal facing the state necessitates the creation of appropriate legal arrangements that mediate the strategic nature of planning. Integration into the European Union creates the preconditions for forming a new paradigm of public administration, which is designed to include mechanisms and tools of the new general management, able to strategically ensure socio-economic growth and the appropriate level of national security.

Исследование роли стратегического планирования в повышении уровня устойчивого развития экономики региона

The present research featured the issue of regional strategic planning as part of Russian economic system. The research objective was to study the role of strategic planning in improving the sustainable development of local economy. The study was based on the methods of analysis, synthesis, and grouping. The Strategy of Economic Development of Kuzbass through 2035 turned out to be more relevant in its content than previous strategies. The analysis of regional typology helped to identify a wider range of problems that aggravated or appeared over time. The problems were formulated as key priorities aimed at improving the life of local population and boosting the economic growth. The author believes that the main goal of the state regional policy is to reach and maintain a high level of economic development of the region. Regional policy is a set of legislative, administrative, and economic measures aimed at improving the quality of life and productive in the region. The state regional policy has the same economic orientation for all regions, which should be regulated by strategic planning, thus increasing the level of sustainable economic development.

Redistribution and the Abolishment of Historical Entitlements in the CAP Strategic Plans: The Case of Greece

A key issue in CAP strategic planning in Greece is the treatment of historical entitlements. An unequal level of payments per hectare is difficult to justify in terms of the CAP’s rationale, and so the abolishment of these entitlements seems to be the most reasonable option. However, for historical reasons, this abolishment may result in a transfer of payments from smaller to larger farms and between different agricultural sub-sectors which could in turn lead to negative effects on the incomes of small farms and lead to farmers leaving the sector. We simulate the change to a flat rate payment in order to quantify these effects, then explore the possibility of employing the new obligatory redistribution measure, termed complementary income support, to mitigate any negative effects. We conclude that redistribution is, indeed, a powerful tool for fine-tuning decoupled payments if historical entitlements are to be abolished.

РАЗВИТИЕ МУНИЦИПАЛЬНОЙ ПРОБЛЕМАТИКИ В ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОЙ ПРОСТРАНСТВЕННОЙ ПОЛИТИКЕ РОССИИ

In the coming years, it is necessary to develop a new strategy for the spatial development of Russia and continue to elaborate the state spatial policy, within the framework of which there should be an increase in the importance of municipal issues. From the author’s point of view, this will be possible when solving a number of conceptual and applied problems. This is a clear articulation of a multi–scale approach in state spatial policy in general and in relation to the formation of the settlement system in particular - a clear statement of goals and objectives at the level of macro-regions, regions (subjects of the Russian Federation), municipalities, determining the balance of these partly inevitably contradictory goals. In order to justify the decisions taken, it is important to radically advance the quality of municipal statistics: the approval of the official methodology for calculating the gross municipal product, the active use of the resources of the Federal Tax Service, ensuring comparability of data on municipalities and subjects of the Russian Federation. In order to transform municipalities into real subjects of spatial development, it is necessary to study, within the framework of the upcoming reform of local self- government, the issues of differentiation of the powers of local self-government bodies of municipalities of different population and type, the expansion of the powers of local authorities, especially large and largest cities, as well as issues of management and strategic planning in urban agglomerations. As part of the development of measures of state support for the development of rural areas and small towns, the author suggests paying special attention to the issues of motorization of the population.

КРИЗА ГЛОБАЛЬНИХ ЛАНЦЮЖКІВ ПОСТАЧАННЯ В УМОВАХ ДИВЕРГЕНЦІЇ ГЛОБАЛЬНОГО РОЗВИТКУ

Currently, the crisis of global supply chains has had a negative impact on various economic sectors and areas. This is a certain challenge for both the economies of individual countries and world foreign trade relations in general. This fact also had a negative impact on their development, which led to a slowdown in the development of most countries of the world. The current sharply aggravated international situation leaves an imprint on all sectors of global economic development. COVID-19, the food crisis, restrictions on trade relations, a decrease in cargo turnover and more have become a real test for many global companies, most of the companies could not even cope with such pressure and, moreover, completely ceased to exist in the international market. Many industrial, trading and logistics companies found themselves in a situation where the sharply aggravated problems of market participants’ functioning led to disruptions in the movement of material and related flows, and in some cases to breaks in supply chains, which led to a reduction in profits for many companies, which negatively affected them. Quarantine, falling exchange rates, declining imports and other environmental factors are pushing enterprises to deal mainly not with tactical tasks, but to raise the issue of strategic planning, developing an overall coordination strategy within the supply chain, as well as the task of maximizing internal resources and increasing efficiency in difficult economic conditions. The consequences are enormous, but the state is trying to find solutions to keep its economy afloat, bypassing these problems. This article considers the problem of disruption of global supply chains in the context of divergence of global development, assesses the impact and problems associated with disruption in the processes of production and foreign trade, and the economic risks associated with it. It also examines the consequences of disruptions in global supply chains, what measures should be taken to minimize and mitigate them, and what companies need to do to establish production. The question of the role of the state in such a crisis situation is considered.

Основные механизмы развития государственного стратегического планирования в Российской Федерации

In modern conditions, implementation of sustainable progressive movement of the country by carrying out large-scale structural changes can be realized only on the basis of a centralized identification of areas, goals, priorities of socio-economic development, as well as indicators of strategies, programs and plans interconnected at all levels of the country's national economy management. Methodologically the article is based on dialectical method of scientific knowledge, as well as systemic and institutional approaches. Scientific periodicals (monographs, scientific articles, etc.) and official documents of legislative and executive authorities of the Russian Federation on the issues of state strategic and long-term planning in Russia and the USSR were used as an information and analytical base. The article dwells on the following issues: 1) as a result of analysis of domestic and foreign literary sources, as well as regulatory and methodological guidelines in the field of state strategic planning, its main shortcomings were identified. According to the authors, these include: dissemination of program-targeted management methods not only into all spheres of socio-economic development, but also to the areas of budget allocations, the lack of sufficient information base of calculations; 2) methodological approach (stages, sequence of work, methods and procedures) to elaborating state programs for the economic development of the country, industries and regions is proposed; 3) application of the methods of hierarchies analysis (MHA) and network modeling (NPM) as the main methods for developing state programs is substantiated; 4) proposals on the composition and structure of the information base for calculating indicators of state programs are given.

Hybrid decision-making and optimisation framework for manufacturing-remanufacturing closed loop systems

ABSTRACT Remanufacturing of end-of-life products is one of the most preferred disposition alternatives to address environmental and economic concerns. In this paper, a hybrid decision-making framework is proposed to address the strategic planning issues of manufacturing-remanufacturing closed loop systems. The framework consists of qualitative and quantitative parts. The AHP-based qualitative part can be used to determine the configuration of the closed-loop network. The framework takes into consideration the product complexity and other characteristics as well as the supply chain network structure. The model considers the concerns of a manufacturer who offers a variety of complex modular products. The second part of the framework provides a quantitative optimisation model of technology implementation. A case study from the washing machine industry sector is used to illustrate the application of the proposed decision-making framework.

The Northern Sea Route in the national strategic planning system

Subject. This article analyzes the system of State strategic management and planning against the background of significant changes in the external macroenvironment – political, economic, and social, as well as changes in the spatial organization of the Russian economy with a focus on the Arctic region. Objectives. The article aims to determine the relationship between the national strategic planning documents that determine the long-term development of the Northern Sea Route (NSR), and analyze the possibilities of developing Arctic oil and gas reserves, which largely depend on the creation of a system of sea communications. Methods. The study is based on a general-research approach. Systematized legislative and regulatory acts of the Russian Federation regulating the issues of State strategic planning were an information base. Results. Based on the analysis and systematization of the regulatory strategic documents of the Russian Federation for 2014–2020 related to the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation and the Northern Sea Route, the article defines the NSR’s role in changing the spatial organization of the country's economy and shows its strategic importance for the economic security of Russia. Conclusions. In the current system of strategic planning, the Northern Sea Route is actually the core of the Arctic economy of Russia. There are new opportunities for developing entrepreneurship and improving the socio-economic situation of the Arctic areas.

Conceptual Approaches to the Development of a Strategy for Innovation and Investment Activity in a Food Enterprise

The variability and uncertainty of the external environment inherent in business activities determine a high level of risk and enhancing the role of strategic planning as a special tool for adapting to the external environment. The purpose of the scientific research was to form a conceptual approach to the process of developing a strategy for innovation and investment activity of a food enterprise. During the study of the study’s theoretical basis, it was determined that the issues of strategic planning of the enterprise as a whole and individual economic functions, in particular innovation, were developed by many foreign and Ukrainian researchers. However, for the most part in the literature, innovation and investment strategies are considered separately, at the same time they are closely related, and the implementation of an innovation project can be considered as an implementation of an investment project. In recent times, the concept of innovation and investment activity has appeared in the literature, but the methodology for rational organization of such activity has not been sufficiently developed. In the course of the research, three main approaches to developing a strategy for innovation and investment activity were described, also our own fourth approach was formulated. The analysis of methodological principles that are the basis for building strategies for innovation and investment activity was also carried out. It was concluded that the effectiveness of the strategy development process depends on the creation of a system of its information support. At the same time, increasing the productivity of innovation and investment activities of individual enterprises will help to increase the number of enterprises engaged in such activities, which will have a positive impact on the country’s economy as a whole. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the considered strategies of innovation and investment activity can be used in the activities of relevant enterprises

Topical Issues of Strategic Planning and Audit in Modern Russia.

The article analyzes the state of strategic planning and audit in the Russian Federation. There is a low level of implementation of the country’s main strategic documents, which is due to the insufficient realism of their goals. In turn, the shortcomings of strategic documents are largely a consequence of the lack of regulatory rulemaking and the closed nature of the procedure for their development. Strategic audit in Russia is still not effective enough, since the practical significance of the recommendations of the Accounts Chamber is not great—the problems it reveals cannot be eliminated at the stage of implementation of strategic documents, and it is actually excluded from participation in their development. Based on the results of the analysis, the authors formulate proposals on the areas of improving the procedures for strategic planning and audit.

Operations Research for Supply chain management – An Overview of Issue and Contributions

The Logistics and Production Network Administration agrees that this is a mandatory research area, although there are some written reviews and examinations on this field. Operations research, which is also known as ‘Science of Better’ deals with mathematical models in order to take better decisions with better alternative options. A review of chronological progresses in Supply Chain Management (SCM)and SC modeling is offered to provide an insight into the development and possibilities of SCM modeling. This article is set out to suggest some serious issues in SCM research by means of several reviews related to the policy of Operations Administration. This paper focuses on the reviewing of various mathematical models proposed and suggested for SCM and SC operations. The article intends to study and analyze journals, books and articles published from the most known and comprehensive international journal on operations management and logistics. The purpose of this work is to identify trends in the literature and identify strategic results, financial strictures, limitations and related issues in strategic planning and model chain design. Finally, certain guidelines and recommendations are provided for supporting future work in this area.

The Role of Strategies in Diversification of Regional Economies: Planned Development versus Unplanned Results

Introduction. The issues of long-term strategic planning are crucial for the successful socio-economic development of Russia’s regions. At the same time, the validity of the choice of industry priorities is often not supported by a comprehensive analysis of the unique competitive advantages of the region, which makes it difficult to achieve the established goals. The purpose of the study is to identify the links between the stated priorities and structural changes in Russia’s regions, particularly, the emergence of new industries of specialization in the regions. Materials and Methods. The study was based on the strategies for socio-economic development of Russia’s regions adopted in 2005–2010. The method of content analysis of documents was employed when forming a list of the priority industries declared in the strategies of 66 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The adapted methodology of the European Cluster Observatory for identifying industry specializations was used to determine the diversification of regional industry portfolios. Results. The conducted analysis of the strategic documents has shown that the industry priorities of Russia’s regions do not reveal their unique specializations, but are focused on the sectors which are most common for the Russian economy. In half of the strategies the food industry and heavy engineering are named as priorities for long-term development. Diversification of regional industry portfolios has been recorded in 46 regions. A total of 76 cases of industries emerging in regional portfolios from 2005 to 2015 have been identified. In 11 regions, the declared industry priorities have not been associated to the real processes of diversification. Discussion and Conclusion. The study has revealed that the diversification of the economy in many Russia’s regions is unplanned. This is not so much the result of a strategic decision of regional authorities, but rather the impact of factors that are not taken into account when choosing industry priorities, which have a significant impact on industry development. The provisions and regional classifications developed in the article may contribute to the development of the theory of public and municipal administration in terms of assessing the impact of managerial decisions on the socio-economic development of territories.

Problems and prospects of strategic planning Of regional development

Problem setting. In the direction of balanced regional development, the state has the opportunity to use such a direct lever of influence on the process as strategic planning. At present stage of reforming of the system of public administration of regional development, its role and importance are especially growing, because strategic planning makes it possible to predict the further development of territories. General purpose of strategic planning is to move to indicative forecasting, information support for objective management decisions at the regional, local and national levels, including concerning increase and effective realization of resource potential of the region, overcoming of depression of territories, realization of structural transformations.
 Recent research and publications analysis. Issues related to regional development are covered in works of such scholars as E. Alaev, G. Balabanov, P. Bubenko, Z. Varnalii, S. Haluza, Z. Herasymchuk, А. Holikov, H. Huberna, M. Dolishnii, L. Zaitseva, U. Ipatov, B. Kliianenko, V. Kravtsiv, O. Krainyk, N. Kuznetsov, L. Kuzmenko, A. Mazur, T. Maksymova, A. Marshalova, S. Melnyk, І. Mykhasiuk, N. Mikula, Y. Navruzov, O. Novoselov, V. Symonenko, D. Stechenko, H. Stolbov, L. Taranhul, S. Tiahlov, V. Khodachek, L. Chervona, М. Chumachenko, B. Shtulberh, M. Yankiv and others.
 Taking into account the significant achievements of the scholars in the field of regional studies, insufficiently complete and in-depth study of the issues of strategic planning of regional development is still worth emphasizing.
 Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. The main purpose of the article was to present a wide range of results of the study on the analysis of the problem and to justify the prospects of strategic planning of regional development.
 Paper main body. Public administration of regional development in Ukraine should take into account basic trends of reforming processes in the European Union. Like in European countries, in Ukraine there are normative documents, which frame the strategic planning, i.e. there is every reason to talk about the functioning of the regional development planning system. The main components of this system include: strategic plans for socio-economic development; spatial plans of territorial development (schemes of planning of the territory of the region, general plans and town-planning documentation of settlements); medium-term plans for socio-economic development of the region and targeted development programs for certain areas of activity; short-term programs of socio-economic development.
 Strategic, medium-term and short-term program documents of socio-economic development of the region are related to creating a favorable environment for the development of the regional economy and citizens’ life, meeting basic needs of business sector and people in various services, forming competitive advantages to enter outer markets, stimulation of entrepreneurial activity, active attraction of investments, development of various sectors of economy, etc. Spatial plans of different levels relate to the development of the territory as an object of implementation of urban policy of local authorities, they are tied to a specific space. Therefore, we can talk about two types of program documents. Both types are closely interrelated, contribute to improving the efficiency of the territory, but differ from each other.
 Today, in the field of strategic planning of regional development in Ukraine there are many problems resulting from the lack of a comprehensive system of strategic planning of regional development in the country. In particular, these are the following: inconsistencies between different strategic and planning documents; lack of clear links between planning documents and the budget; lack of a unified approach to planning, uncertainty of the status of sertain strategic documents, political and legal consequences of their non-implementation; inefficient system of public policy evaluation; lack of responsibility for making ineffective management decisions.
 The main directions of strategic planning were identified: intellectual growth of territories, which involves economic development based on the growing development of production infrastructure, knowledge, research, inventions, patents and innovations, i.e. reorientation of regional economies to an innovative model of development; sustainable and continuous growth of territories for creation of an economy based on the efficient use of resources, in particular, environmental resources, and increasing the efficiency of use of natural resources, economic potential of the region; comprehensive growth of living standards through the development of social infrastructure, increasing employment, human resources development and achievement of social well-being; increasing the investment attractiveness of regions and intensifying innovation activity therein, as well as increasing the competitiveness of regions.
 Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Strategic planning of regional development is a powerful tool to unite the interests of the public, local business and local authorities, which has a positive impact on the business climate, community welfare, and competitive position of the territory. It is a creative process of defining strategic directions and agreeing on realistic goals and objectives, implementation of which will help to achieve a better future.

Государственная поддержка развития креативного сектора региональной экономики

This study reveals essential characteristics of the development of the regional creative sphere in the system of strategic planning. The accelerated rates of the innovative development of science and technology require reduction in the cycles of innovation introduction into the real economy sector and the formation of new approaches to the implementation of the government regional innovation policy. The authors revealed that the urgency of the issue of scientific and technological strategic planning consists in the processes of regional economic development and the identification of the levels of interconnection between programs of social and economic development, the formation of program budget, digital, investment and innovation infrastructure. The purpose of this study was to determine the essence and conditions for the formation and development of the regional creative sphere in the real economy sector. Papers of both domestic and foreign economists formed the methodological basis of research in the field of the development of creative economy. The authors argued that the development of creative regional economy influences the formation of the seventh technological order and is a way to increase the competitiveness both in domestic and global markets. Strategic planning will create tools and mechanisms for attracting long-term investments in the implementation of projects in the regional creative sphere. According to the authors of the article, the development of the creative sphere in the real sector of economy is inextricably linked with the intellectual potential, where the implementation of social and economic development programs is determined by innovation. A special place is occupied by creativity i.e. the ability to generate completely new ideas and their effective implementation, which is a necessary condition for the innovation development. The main conclusions of the authors prove that the regional creative sphere is a key component of strategic planning for the development of society and innovation processes. Creative thinking inherent in the creativity of the human capital is a significant factor of the technological level development.

A Critical Literature Analysis of the Relationships of Marketing and Strategic Planning Under Project Environments

This paper investigates marketing and strategic planning issues, its relationship to project management, and the factors affecting these relationships. The authors perform an unstructured and structured literature review, which identified 83 articles that explore the critical variables in this paper. Factors are often seen as operational factors that are directed towards personnel tasked with daily operations. Notably, project management, when tasked with marketing and strategic planning, is challenged to cope with evolving situational alterations that require a different set of skills. Particularly, they contribute to several bodies of knowledge, including project management, decision-making, strategic planning, marketing, and leadership. The study builds on these bodies of knowledge and also addresses gaps identified in these research fields. They contribute to research on factors through various avenues for future research.

Some issues of sustainable territory development

The paper examines the scientific and legal foundations for the development of territories in the Soviet period, in the 90-s (during the transition to a market economy) and at the beginning of the XXI century - the period of the creation of a new state legal framework. The authors touch upon the issues of territorial and strategic planning.

Visualization of the sustainable development model of the green core of the agglomeration: the neogeography of the Chelyabinsk urban pine forest

In the study on building a model of spatial development, the issues of problem-oriented zoning of territories, transformation of the settlement framework, integration of the most significant objects of social transformations are considered. Such objects in the heterogeneous social Eurasian space are, first of all, the zones of agglomerations. Taking into account the regional specifics when identifying a heterogeneous set of key spatial objects, the main provisions of the spatial development of the territory as a complex multi-level socio-economic system are determined. The solution to the issues of strategic planning of such systems is associated with the problematic adaptation of visualization technologies, the joint use of a special format of cartographic and digital information. The main research results create the prerequisites for a significant expansion of the number of tasks of managing regional and municipal development of the natural and ecological framework.
