DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL MODEL OF EXPORT IN THE CONTEXT OF STRATEGIC PLANNING OF FOREIGN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY OF ENTERPRISES

The article deals with the development and implementation of a financial model of exports in the context of strategic planning of foreign economic activity of enterprises. The model described in this paper aims to measure, analyse, evaluate and propose improvements to administrative processes by identifying various variables involved in strategic foreign trade planning. This paper is a survey that is being developed for export activities in Ukraine. Exports in Ukraine were analysed to test the methodology and to build an additive model.The model empirically shows the links that exist between the internal functions of a company and its ability to generate performance management indicators and business dynamics as a way to improve processes in strategic foreign trade planning. Some relevant findings from the first two stages of the empirical research conducted to date are presented. Validation has proven that the use of the methodology of strategic planning of foreign economic activity allows you to compensate for investments in new resources by increasing the number of operations carried out eliminating delays and attracting new customers as a result of improving the client's perception of the quality of service. During the audit, it was possible to determine that the delays created in the activities of support systems increase their negative impact on the process, consuming the slack of many actions of the central system and delaying their implementation, negatively affecting foreign economic activity. The model will be useful for enterprises engaged in foreign trade.

CLUSTERING OF EU MEMBER STATES BY THE LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR ASSET MANAGEMENT

The financial landscape within the European Union is characterized by a significant disparity in the development of institutional investor asset management across its member states. Institutional investors, such as pension funds, insurance companies, and investment trusts, are vital in shaping financial markets and influencing economic stability. This study aims to fill the gap in the existing literature by examining the grouping of European Union member-states. The research focuses on examining key attributes, trends, and performance indicators of institutional investor asset management across various EU member-states. It utilizes data from 2017 to 2022, reflecting the average values of financial assets held by institutional investors as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This data provides a critical perspective on the investment landscape within the EU, particularly focusing on investment funds and insurance corporations. A notable observation from the data is the significant variance in the financial assets to GDP ratio among EU countries, with Denmark and France showing exceptionally high ratios, indicating a substantial role of institutional investments in their economies. In contrast, Lithuania and Greece demonstrate much lower ratios. This disparity is further analyzed through cluster analysis, grouping EU member-states into five clusters based on their asset management profiles. The clusters reveal distinct patterns in the distribution and development of asset management across the EU. Countries like Denmark and France, with highly developed financial markets, contrast sharply with those like Lithuania and Greece, which have less mature markets. The study highlights the influence of various factors such as economic structure, regulatory environment, and cultural attitudes towards savings and investment on these disparities. The study suggests that future research should focus on developing comprehensive policy recommendations, taking into consideration the distinct characteristics of each cluster to promote balanced economic growth and stability within the EU.

Incorporating uncertainty in Indigenous sea Country monitoring with Bayesian statistics: Towards more informed decision-making.

Partnerships in marine monitoring combining Traditional Ecological Knowledge and western science are developing globally to improve our understanding of temporal changes in ecological communities that better inform coastal management practices. A fuller communication between scientists and Indigenous partners about the limitations of monitoring results to identify change is essential to the impact of monitoring datasets on decision-making. Here we present a 5-year co-developed case study from a fish monitoring partnership in northwest Australia showing how uncertainty estimated by Bayesian models can be incorporated into monitoring management indicators. Our simulation approach revealed there was high uncertainty in detecting immediate change over the following monitoring year when translated to health performance indicators. Incorporating credibility estimates into health assessments added substantial information to monitoring trends, provided a deeper understanding of monitoring limitations and highlighted the importance of carefully selecting the way we evaluate management performance indicators.

Clinical features, socioeconomic status, management, short and long-term outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction: Phase I results of PEACE MENA registry.

The Program for the Evaluation and Management of Cardiac Events in the Middle East and North Africa (PEACE MENA) is a prospective registry program in Arabian countries that involves in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or acute heart failure (AHF). This prospective, multi-center, multi-country study is the first report of the baseline characteristics and outcomes of inpatients with AMI who were enrolled during the first 14-month recruitment phase. We report the clinical characteristics, socioeconomic, educational levels, and management, in-hospital, one month and one-year outcomes. Between April 2019 and June 2020, 1377 patients with AMI were enrolled (79.1% males) from 16 Arabian countries. The mean age (± SD) was 58 ± 12 years. Almost half of the population had a net income < $500/month, and 40% had limited education. Nearly half of the cohort had a history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, or hypercholesterolemia; 53% had STEMI, and almost half (49.7%) underwent a primary percutaneous intervention (PCI) (lowest 4.5% and highest 100%). Thrombolytics were used by 36.2%. (Lowest 6.45% and highest (90.9%). No reperfusion occurred in 13.8% of patients (lowest was 0% and highest 72.7%).Primary PCI was performed less frequently in the lower income group vs. high income group (26.3% vs. 54.7%; P<0.001). Recurrent ischemia occurred more frequently in the low-income group (10.9% vs. 7%; P = 0.018). Re-admission occurred in 9% at 1 month and 30% at 1 year, whereas 1-month mortality was 0.7% and 1-year mortality 4.7%. In the MENA region, patients with AMI present at a young age and have a high burden of cardiac risk factors. Most of the patients in the registry have a low income and low educational status. There is heterogeneity among key performance indicators of AMI management among various Arabian countries.

Performance assessment and indicators for agricultural water management—A review

AbstractThe complexity of irrigation systems and the need to adapt them to uncertainties requires developing approaches to synthesize their performances. This paper reviews performance assessment and indicators for agricultural water systems. It is aimed at finding various methods and indices used for irrigation performance assessment and standard classes for their characterization. The global application of the metrics was also documented. Adopting a systematic review approach, peer‐reviewed journal articles published in the English language in the last two decades (1 March 2001 to 31 December 2020) were surveyed. Case studies were presented demonstrating the application of the indicators. The study revealed a lack of standardization and the use of a wide range of indicators among others, and recommended representing certain indicators as single. However, this review considered one indicator as the best. Suggestions for further studies were made.

Economic analysis and control of crisis phenomena in the activities of enterprises

The article analyzes the essence of crisis phenomena and the causes of their occurrence in the activity of the enterprise. In the activity of anyone enterprise there are quite a few reasons that can lead to a crisis situation, in the scientific literature there are external and internal factors that can cause a crisis situation that have a mutual impact. The emergence of crisis situations in the enterprise is an inevitable stage in the life cycle. In order to avoid excessively negative consequences of the crisis, the company needs to carry out early diagnosis of the possibility of crisis situations and, if necessary, to introduce a set of measures aimed at preventing or countering the crisis. In order to early detection of a crisis situation or the probability of its occurrence, it is necessary to systematically diagnose the financial security of the enterprise, which involves the implementation of express diagnostics, complex analysis and fundamental diagnostics. The article provides an indicative list of indicators for the implementation of express diagnostics of the financial and economic state of the enterprise, including: indicators of own sources of formation of financial resources and financial stability; indicators of liquidity and payment and settlement discipline; indicators of the state of fixed assets; performance indicators of economic activity and management of the enterprise. The list of these indicators is not exhaustive, because in each case the specifics of the industry, the market and the enterprise itself should be taken into account. Three main stages of the crisis development at the enterprise are considered: hidden crisis (efficiency crisis, strategy crisis), solvency crisis (performance crisis), threat of bankruptcy (liquidity crisis). The main manifestations of crisis situations at the enterprise at each stage and the main mistakes that management makes in an attempt to counteract the crisis are determined. The main tools for the development and application of anti-crisis measures have been identified. At any stage of the crisis, subject to the introduction of an effective marketing strategy, effective tools of crisis management and the sufficiency of financial resources, it is possible to restore the normal rhythm of the enterprise and strengthen market positions. The experience of well-known companies that have received a useful effect from the crisis situation is considered. The effectiveness of the anti-crisis management system at the enterprise is achieved subject to the flexibility and adaptability of the management mechanism, the ability to diversify and rapid situational response, the ability to effectively use the potential of the enterprise and the introduction of informal management methods. The article considers tendencies of development of Ukrainian enterprises in conditions of crisis caused by the war. In the context of economic sectors, the main obstacles in the development of enterprises are outlined. The analysis of dynamics of development of the existing business and the beginning of a new one (by sectors of the economy and by regions) is carried out.

도시재생사업의 성과측정에 관한 연구

The urban regeneration project started under the Park Geun-hye administration and was promoted more heavily as a New Deal project under the Moon Jae-in administration. However, as the urban regeneration project progressed, problems arose that residents could not feel due to poor implementation performance and low execution ability. Accordingly, in this study, in order to establish and achieve the goals of the urban regeneration revitalization plan, a management system and performance indicators for monitoring, evaluation, and feedback are presented to systematically and comprehensively manage everything from plan establishment to performance and effect derivation, and a resident satisfaction survey to measure performance. We conducted an investigation. In order to accurately measure performance, the ‘Comprehensive Performance Index’ presented by the central government was used as a common indicator, and the ‘Local Government Performance Index’ was comprehensively analyzed and used as an auxiliary indicator. In this study, research was conducted targeting the ‘Jeonju Station Area Urban Regeneration Area’, which is currently under construction, to select indicators for performance measurement, and practical data was presented in relation to the research method.

Correction: Investigation of key performance indicators for performance management of the manufacturing industry in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic

Investigation of key performance indicators for performance management of the manufacturing industry in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic

AbstractThe execution of constructive Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) is a critical tool for the Performance Management (PM) of the manufacturing industry to regulate operations. The companies rely on the PM strategies grounded on conventional KPIs assessment to achieve sustainability although the current dynamic manufacturing environment is undergoing complexities. The KPIs used in the past for PM are not mutually dependent, as they have not been adequately measured and updated to address emergency situations like the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly for the Leather Products Industry (LPI). Monitoring of plentiful KPIs is inconceivable and literature is also not available. Realizing these gaps, this study accumulates suggestions from a wide-ranging context of 25 experts’ feedback. Initially, a set of KPI was identified through literature review and experts survey. Later, employing a Pareto analysis, 15 KPIs were identified from 48 KPIs. Then the finalized KPIs investigated utilizing linguistic Z-digits and Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) to find the “Cause-Effect” relationship. An industrial chronology is conferred to demonstrate the potency and functionality of the suggested method. The upshot signifies the “Target fulfillment within the delivery time during COVID-19” as the most important KPI for the studied case. The outcomes will assist the LPI managers to dictate crucial KPIs suitably and flourish the PM in attaining the goals and objectives.

Clearing the path: Leveraging operational optimization strategies to enhance patient access.

450 Background: The complexities of navigating the healthcare system for an oncology patient can be extensive and overwhelming. Prioritizing ease of access to care is essential. The time and effort required to coordinate visits, treatments, and other appointments can result in time toxicity, limiting the patient’s ability to engage in activities that enhance their quality of life. Minnesota Oncology, a practice within The US Oncology Network, is a large community oncology practice in Minneapolis, MN with 90 providers and 14 sites of care. The leadership team at Minnesota Oncology recognized challenges with patient scheduling as a priority. This was based on patient and staff feedback which included patient satisfaction surveys, significant telephone hold times for scheduling, and missed appointments due to a delay in order processing time. Methods: The quality improvement initiative followed a methodological framework that includes identifying the root causes of challenges patients face related to access to care and the subsequent development and execution of effective improvement solutions. The primary objective of the improvement initiative was to address telephone wait times for scheduling, overall patient satisfaction with scheduling and access, and order processing time. To identify the necessary focus for interventions, a ‘Kaizen’ event was hosted involving front line scheduling and clinical staff. The team aimed to identify workflow redundancies, bottlenecks, and inefficiencies via workflow mapping and root cause analysis methodologies. Leveraging the insights gained from these approaches, the following strategies for improvement were executed: Regionalized resource utilization to maximize productivity; strategic redistribution of workload to improve efficiency; workflow redesign to streamline processes and eliminate waste; and redefinition of key performance indicators for business unit performance management. Results: Through the methodological identification of root cause analyses and a tailored execution approach, results were achieved (table.). Conclusions: The improvements in the identified categories were achieved through strategic operational optimization, without the need for additional resources. This underscores the importance of adopting a culture of methodological continuous improvement in the management of clinic operations and highlights the importance of ongoing improvement efforts in delivering efficient care and achieving favorable business and patient experience outcomes.[Table: see text]

A Survey on UAV-Enabled Edge Computing: Resource Management Perspective

Edge computing facilitates low-latency services at the network’s edge by distributing computation, communication, and storage resources within the geographic proximity of mobile and Internet-of-Things devices. The recent advancement in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technologies has opened new opportunities for edge computing in military operations, disaster response, or remote areas where traditional terrestrial networks are limited or unavailable. In such environments, UAVs can be deployed as aerial edge servers or relays to facilitate edge computing services. This form of computing is also known as UAV-enabled Edge Computing (UEC), which offers several unique benefits such as mobility, line-of-sight, flexibility, computational capability, and cost-efficiency. However, the resources on UAVs, edge servers, and Internet-of-Things devices are typically very limited in the context of UEC. Efficient resource management is therefore a critical research challenge in UEC. In this article, we present a survey on the existing research in UEC from the resource management perspective. We identify a conceptual architecture, different types of collaborations, wireless communication models, research directions, key techniques, and performance indicators for resource management in UEC. We also present a taxonomy of resource management in UEC. Finally, we identify and discuss some open research challenges that can stimulate future research directions for resource management in UEC.
