Сотрудничество России и Китая в Арктике в энергетической сфере: стратегический взгляд

The imposed sectoral restrictions on the Russian Federation and the current macroeconomic situation create prerequisites for building a new model of cooperation with Asian countries, primarily with the People’s Republic of China. The People’s Republic of China demonstrates a strategic approach to joint implementation of energy projects in the Arctic, having shares in joint ventures with Russian energy com-panies (Yamal LNG, Arctic LNG-2). Yamal LNG, the most complex technological project in the Arctic for the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG), located on the Yamal Peninsula above the Arctic Circle on the basis of the South Tambeyskoe field, has become the flagship of Russian-Chinese cooperation in the Arctic. The joint implementation of this project has the most important geostrategic and industrial significance in the global energy industry, clearly demonstrating the capabilities of the two countries in creating high-tech solutions for gas liquefaction in difficult climatic conditions. It is important that such projects have powerful complex-forming and multiplicative effects, creating conditions for the maximum utilisation of the industries of both countries, as well as for the construction of infrastructure along the Northern Sea Route and the creation of a high-tech fleet for the transportation of liquefied natural gas. Despite the existing legal disagreements between Russia and China regarding economic activities in the Arctic, in light of the current macroeconomic situation, interaction with Asian partners is a promising area of cooperation in the implementation of joint technological projects. With significant financial resources and accumulated engineering and technical competences, the People’s Republic of China is one of Russia's most reliable partners in the context of implementing energy projects. It is important that China is also a buyer of Russian energy resources, which ensures a stable market for hydrocarbons. The publication analyses the development of Russian-Chinese relations and considers the prospects for joint economic cooperation in the Arctic in the energy sector

The Salient Dynamics of Cross-Border Ocean Governance in a Regional Setting: An Evaluation of Ocean Governance Systems and Institutional Frameworks in the Guinea Current Large Marine Ecosystem

This article contributes to a growing body of research on the Large Marine Ecosystems Concept. It particularly shines the light on the Guinea Current Large Marine Ecosystem (GCLME), a biodiverse maritime domain providing essential ecosystem services for the survival of a large population while at the same time under intense pressure from both anthropogenic and natural factors. With the need for coordination and cross-border ocean management and governance becoming imperative due to the magnitude of challenges and maritime domain, we examine the factors that underpin ocean governance and those key elements necessary for cross-border ocean governance cooperation in the region. The research draws on qualitative data collected from peer-reviewed literature and documents sourced from different official portals. Three countries in the region (Benin, Nigeria, and Cameroon) are selected as the descriptive and comparative case studies to examine: (i) the factors that drive ocean governance (including geographical features, maritime jurisdictions, political framework, maritime activities, and associated pressures), and (ii) key enabling factors for cross-border ocean governance and cooperation in the GCLME (including marine and coastal related policy and legal framework convergence from international to national including, and shared experiences, common issues and joint solutions). We show that the biophysical maritime features, the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), otherwise known as the Law of the Sea (LOS), inherent political characteristics and the relics of colonization, and increasing ocean use and pressure on the ecosystem make ocean governance challenging in the region. Our analysis also reveals a varying level of convergence on international, regional and national legal, policy and institutional frameworks between the case studies on ocean-related aspects. Significant convergence is observed in maritime security, ocean research, and energy aspects, mostly from countries adopting international, regional and sub-regional frameworks. National level convergence is not well established as administrative and political arrangement differs from country to country in the region. These different levels of convergence help reveal procedural and operational shortcomings, strengths, weaknesses, and functional capability of countries within a cooperative ocean governance system in the region. However, experience from joint-implementation of projects, pre- and post-colonial relations between countries and the availability of transboundary organizations that have mainly emerged due to sectoral ocean challenges would play a crucial role in fostering cross-border ocean governance cooperation in the region.

Conceptual model of content management of development programs of project-oriented organizations

Today, in the global world economic crisis and the Covid / SARS-19 pandemic, the development and functioning of business companies are more relevant than ever. In addition to the global pandemic, the Covid-19 crisis has dealt a devastating blow to the economy and business of the company, and enterprises have suffered severely financially. Development within the framework of proactive management of companies is based on following the required level of their competitiveness. This approach is adapted for business companies and connects together the dynamics of the external and internal business environment, the level of competitiveness of the organization, the level of innovative development, the system of goals of the business organization and the system of goals of business development programs.
 The conceptual model of content management of the business development program is analyzed, which establishes the compliance of the program objectives with the main factors of the competitiveness of companies and determines the value of projects as ensuring the achievement of these goals, takes into account the possibility of each project’s contribution to the achievement of several goals, as well as the influence of systemic effects in shaping the value of the program and justifying the necessary the amount of resources to provide it. Methods for assessing the values ​​of companies as the degree of compliance of their results with the set business goals. The method is based on the operations and properties of companies, allows to take into account the uncertainty of the conditions and results of the implementation of business companies, forming a two-parameter assessment of the value of the project - the business contribution to the achievement of each goal and the degree of this contribution. This approach, in contrast to the existing ones, makes it possible to take into account the achievement of goals to a greater extent in the following procedures for determining the content of the business. It has been established that synergy in business development programs is manifested in cost savings and an increase in the final value of projects by companies.
 Authors identified the main sources of the formation of the effect of business synergy associated with costs. Formalized the formation of the synergistic effect in terms of the theory of companies’ projects, arising from the joint implementation of projects within the program, allows with a greater degree of reliability to assess the achievement of the goals of business companies and the necessary resources in conditions of uncertainty.

MODELS AND ALGORITHMS OF THE CONSISTENT FINANCIAL DISTRIBUTION IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PROJECTS OF THE ASSOCIATION OF BUSINESS ENTITIES

A characteristic feature of the development of modern economic systems is active association, inte-gration of enterprises into larger economic entities. A distinctive feature of such associations is the multidirectional interests of its members. The development of innovative mechanisms for financial management of an integrated structure, allowing to take into account the conflic¬ting interests of the enterprises of the association, is an urgent task. Aim. To develop mathematical models and algo-rithms to improve the efficiency of financial management of the association of business entities by forming an optimal package of projects and coordinated distribution of profits from its implemen-tation between enterprises. Materials and methods. The proposed approach is based on the use of systems analysis methods, optimization methods, decision theory and game theory. The paper dis-cusses the mechanism for the coordinated distribution of funds of the enterprises of the association in the implementation of projects, which consists of two enlarged stages. At the first stage, an optimal package of merger projects is formed. Each enterprise of the association offers its own variants of projects, from which a package of projects is formed. The constructed model of the formation of a package of projects that ensures the amalgamation of obtaining the greatest profit is a knapsack problem and is solved by the branch and bound method. At the second stage, the distri-bution of profits from the implementation of projects between the enterprises of the association is carried out. To find the distribution of profits, ensuring the coordination of the economic interests of the enterprises of the association, it is proposed to use the methods and principles of the theory of cooperative games. The paper shows that the described problem can be formally represented as a game in the form of a characteristic function. It is proposed to choose a certain element of the C-core as an agreed profit distribution. The formation of this element is carried out on the basis of an optimization model, the function of the goal and the system of restrictions of which takes into ac-count quantitative indicators of the activity of enterprises' participation in the implementation of merger projects. Results. A mechanism has been developed for the coordinated distribution of fi-nancial resources of the enterprises of the association during the implementation of projects, based on mathematical models and methods. A feature of the mechanism is the application of the game principle when distributing the profit of projects. Practical calculations are carried out to substantiate the advantages of the presented approach in comparison with the known methods. Conclusion. The coordinated distribution of finances proposed in the work reasonably ensures the benefit of each en-terprise from the joint implementation of projects and stimulates the management of enterprises to search for highly effective projects.

Modeling of the optimal composition of the enterprise technical development program

The object of this research is the program of technical development of the enterprise. This research is devoted to the problem of forming the optimal composition of a technical development program within the framework of its scope management on the basis of the concept of a value approach, according to which the project’s value is its compliance with the development goals. The principle of forming the composition of a technical development program is based on ensuring the maximization of the program’s value in terms of a given set of technical development goals.A method for assessing the value of technical development projects has been developed, based on the use of fuzzy sets, as a result of which two assessments of the project value are formed – the project's contribution to the achievement of each goal from a variety of goals and the degree of this contribution. Such approach allows one to take into account not only the fuzzy meaning of the results, but also to take into account in the processes of program formation the “uncertainty” degree of the overall result in terms of each goal.Description of a quantitative assessment of the synergy effect is formalized in terms of the theory of fuzzy sets that arises from the joint implementation of projects within the program, which allows a greater confidence degree to evaluate the result of the program.A model has been developed for the formation of the optimal composition of a technical development program taking into account the value of projects and the system effect (synergy) of their joint implementation within the program. The model provides for the ranking of goals, which is used when establishing minimum boundaries for the achievement degree of a particular goal, which corresponds to the actual process of selecting projects in practice.Using the proposed approach to assessing the contribution of projects to achieving goals, as well as a model for optimizing the composition of the program, it is possible to form a program from a proposed set of projects. At the same time, the achievement of goals is ensured to the maximum extent, taking into account the uncertainty of both the conditions for the implementation of projects and their results.The application of the proposed model can be extended to programs of various orientations.

Власть и бизнес: стратегии взаимодействия

In the article some strategies are analyzed that use the authority and business in relations between them, based on the study in the Orenburg region among entrepreneurs, state and municipal employees. The general conclusion of the article is that government and business use different, often overlapping strategies in the system of relations with each other. In particular, it is established that the joint implementation of projects of government and business stimulates an increase in the density of their contacts and building strategies, where they stand as the closest stakeholders to each other. It is found that the interaction between business and government in many aspects depends on the stage of development at which the enterprise is located, and largely determines the approaches to the relationship, the main ones are: anticipation, adaptation, protection and response.

Joint public procurement

Joint public procurement is an opportunity that first appeared with the new European Public Procurement Directives. The significance of joint public procurement should not be exaggerated, but it is important to explore its advantages, its possible applications and its occasional disadvantages. Joint public procurement can not be managed independently from the decisions or the internal organisational matters of the contracting authorities or entities. There are plenty of potential research questions that widen the scope of understanding of the joint procurement framework system. A better understanding of everyday practice could make it clear that joint implementation of projects does not directly yield cheaper and more efficient public procurement.

Co-creation of health and social services in the socio-economically backward neighbourhood of Feyenoord, Rotterdam

How to tackle extensive health care issues in a socio-economically backward neighbourhood in Rotterdam? Seven years ago, this question was at the foundation of the network ‘Samen een in Feijenoord’ (Together one in Feijenoord). In a multi-ethnic neighbourhood, with a low educated population, high unemployment rates and fragmentation in social services, the need emerged for organizations from different sectors to work together. Since health status is strongly interconnected with for example education, participation and housing, individual health care organizations could not improve the health situation on their own. Currently 30 organizations cooperate in the network, ranging from health care providers, social services, schools and social housing companies. Through coordination, exchanging knowledge and joint implementation of projects, added value is created. Some of the most notable results are multifunctional health care centers, the increased availability of preventive health care and new training and working opportunities for local youth.
