Tourism risk analysis and mitigation: Strategies for managing risks in a dynamic tourism environment

Tourism is interconnected with other industries and brings additional benefits to both the European economy and Ukraine in general. However, it also depends on external and internal factors and is the first to react to their changes. The article describes and uses a strategy for managing the risks posed by the fast-changing tourism market, where every second trip for travel purposes goes to EU countries. The EU countries comprise 50% of global tourism, while outbound tourism from European countries is almost 48% of all outbound trips and tourism activities worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic had a severe impact on the tourism sector of many countries, leading to significant changes and negative consequences. However, the tourism industry is dynamic and constantly evolving, responding to any changes and demands. Therefore, the relevance of this study lies in exploring further ways to develop tourism in the European tourism macroregion, taking into account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The unprecedented pace of transformation has affected the management system of tourism enterprises. Travel companies must respond quickly to constantly changing environmental conditions to protect their reputation and financial stability. Therefore, there is a real need to create a modern, comprehensive risk management system for tourism companies. Risks cannot be eliminated, yet any business owner who cares about the success of their business must investigate possible adverse factors affecting their profits and take action to reduce them. Risk management serves this purpose.

Comparison of solutions to the task of IT product configuration items early identification using hierarchical clusterization methods

The object of this study is the IT project configuration management process. During the research, the problem of early identification of configuration items (CI) in the information system (IS) of enterprise management was solved. Research in this field is mainly aimed at solving the task of early identification of services and microservices during the refactoring of software systems. The issue of the application of artificial intelligence methods for the detection of CI has not been sufficiently investigated. During the study, the Chameleon hierarchical clustering method was adapted to solve the problem of early identification of CI IS. This method takes into account both the internal similarity and the connectivity of individual functions of the studied IS. The adapted Chameleon method was used when solving the task of early identification of CI in the functional task "Formation and maintenance of an individual plan of a scientific and pedagogical employee of the department". 10 functions and 12 essences of the problem database were considered as the initial CIs. The result of the solution is a dendrogram with all possible options for decomposition of the description of the task architecture into individual CIs. Based on the results, a comparative analysis of the use of Chameleon, DIANA, and AGNES methods for solving the problem of early identification was carried out. According to the criteria "Number of vertices of the dendrogram", "Number of levels of decomposition of the dendrogram", and "Evenness of filling the elements of the dendrogram", the results from using the Chameleon method are the best. Using the research results allows automating the procedure of forming backlogs of IT project implementation teams. This makes it possible to improve the quality of IS development by assigning IS containing similar functions to the same IT project executor

АНАЛІЗ ТА НАПРЯМИ ПІДВИЩЕННЯ ЕФЕКТИВНОСТІ УПРАВЛІНСЬКИХ РІШЕНЬ У СФЕРІ СТІЙКОСТІ БІЗНЕСУ В УМОВАХ КРИЗИ

The object of the study is the process of maintaining viability and ensuring the development of enterprises in crisis conditions. It was established that for such purposes, the formation and implementation of tools and means of anti-crisis management, aimed at strengthening the stability of the business entity in crisis conditions, becomes critically relevant. It is emphasized that in the conditions of a crisis caused by a full-scale war, the emphasis and prerogatives in the management of sustainability change for the sake of stability and orderliness of the functioning and development of economic entities. It is additionally argued that in crisis situations, the focus of attention shifts from issues of high efficiency to the task of preventing challenges and threats, when the subject of attention is the economic security of business, the relevant mechanisms and tools for ensuring it. Based on these principles, the purpose of the study is to analyze and identify directions for improving the effectiveness of management decisions in the field of business sustainability in crisis conditions. The implementation of the specified goal made it possible to develop a complex of means of improvement and development of anti-crisis management systems of domestic enterprises. According to the results of the survey of managers of domestic enterprises, their low activity in the field of business sustainability management and the concentration of measures in this field mainly only on monitoring the financial and economic condition of the enterprise were established, the current market situation and its changing trends, assortment, quality and price parameters of the products presented on the market. The leading factors that weaken the state of stability of domestic enterprises have been identified, which remain the unstable market conditions, in particular demand, pressure from competitors, insufficiently high level of development of the industry and related types of economic activity, underdevelopment of the product sales system, lack of material and technical and technical and technological support of enterprises. It has been proven that the difficulties of the war lead to the complication of the survival conditions of economic entities and, accordingly, require greater efforts of domestic enterprises to preserve their own financial and economic stability. The structural and functional basis for improving management in the field of managing the stability of domestic enterprises in crisis conditions through the rationalization of their strategic marketing management, which involves the implementation of measures of a financial-economic, organizational-production, intellectual-personnel, and socio-economic nature, is substantiated. An aggregated structural model of anti-crisis management in the area of guaranteeing the sustainability of domestic enterprises has been developed.

Integration of the mechanism of digital economic forensics into the enterprise management system

The article examines the issue of introducing economic forensics tools into the enterprise management system in the emergence of a digital economy. Economic forensics has a great potential for use to ensure the economic security of enterprises by detecting, preventing and eliminating the consequences of economic and financial violations, but its mass implementation is hindered by the large expenditure of time and resources required by traditional forensics. It is argued that the implementation of economic forensics in the format of an information system using modern information technologies, in particular artificial intelligence, blockchain and machine learning, will allow the integration of economic forensics tools into the practice of enterprise management. The mechanism of digital economic forensics has been formalized as a system that combines the internal relationship and the order of processes and procedures, as well as their methodical, organizational, informational, legal and resource support, the functioning of which is aimed at increasing the economic security of enterprises based on forensics tools and the use of digital technologies. The mechanism is implemented as a sequence of stages of information collection and analysis, detection of risks / suspicious actions, response within the enterprise (with subsequent monitoring of the implementation) or complaints to law enforcement agencies. At each stage, appropriate departments are involved and appropriate digital tools are used, in particular to identify suspicious actions and transactions by comparing them with a database of similar actions from past periods. The advantages of the proposed mechanism include ensuring a systematic collection and analysis of information on economic transactions that may pose risks for the economic security of the enterprise; automated detection of risks and provision of warnings to the management of the enterprise; the possibility of preventing losses or compensating them in the early stages; the ability to resolve a crisis situation without recourse to law enforcement agencies and bearing the corresponding costs and damage to reputation; constant improvement of the quality of risk detection and classification by means of using artificial intelligence tools. All this together may increase the economic security of enterprises.

System management of e-commerce enterprises

Modern system management has in its arsenal a number of tools for effective design of enterprise management based on digital techno­logies and artificial intelligence. The synergy of management subsystems of e-commerce enter­pri­ses is able to ensure the formation of the effect of growth of business flexibility to changes in the external environment, optimize business proces­ses and positively influence the behavior of on­line buyers. The aim of the article is to determine the role of synergistic effects of the management system of e-commerce enterprises in the context of a circular business model. It is hypothesized that the synergistic effects of e-commerce enterprise management should be considered through its analysis as a circular internal system consisting of internal and external subsystems. The circular business model essence of the e-commerce enterprise is substantiated. Conce­ptual approaches to the content of synergistic management are defined. It is proposed to consider the system management as a circular self-reproducing system that has internal (technological core) and external (organiza­tional superstructure) subsystems. The content of synergistic effects according to the signs of their formation is disclosed. On the basis of a cross-approach to the core and superstructure subsystems, the products of their organic inte­rac­tion were identified. Through the introdu­ction of technologies based on artificial intelli­gence (AI) and through a combination with effective management technologies, such products are able to form synergistic effects that will lead to an improvement in the quality of value propositions, an increase in customer trust, and an increase in turnover and profits. It has been proven that the systematic approach to the e-commerce enterprise management is based on the synergistic interaction of external ele­ments (management of human resources, know­ledge, information technologies, financial and mone­tary relations) and internal elements (manage­ment of technical protection systems, data protection of customers, personnel, cont­rac­tors, website, and databases) subsystems. Deepening the scientific analysis of electronic commerce tools is of prac­tical importance for the develop­ment of strate­gically correct mana­gement deci­sions in view of diversification of risks of loss of market position, reduction of sales volu­mes and weakening of competitive advantages. Concep­tua­lization of the synergistic effects of the system management will improve the processes of analyzing the field of e-commerce at the macro- and mega-economic levels and forecasting the economic growth of the industry

Association of neighborhood-level superfund sites with atmospheric toxic exposures and increasing cancer risk in the United States: A proof-of-concept geospatial study.

10577 Background: Decades of underinvestment have disproportionately exposed several neighborhoods in the US to hazardous conditions. Superfund is the name given to the environmental program established by the US Congress in 1980, to address abandoned hazardous waste sites. The extent to which Superfund sites have contributed to differences in cancer risk remains unknown. We investigated atmospheric toxic exposures increasing cancer risk by proximity to Superfund sites at the neighborhood level. Methods: In this cross-sectional study of US neighborhoods, census-tract level air toxic cancer risk data from the Environmental Protection Agency for 2019 were linked with census-tract level geolocation data of ~1300 Superfund sites from the Superfund Enterprise Management System database. Linear regression models were utilized to explore association between cancer risk and proximity to Superfunds. Geographically Weighted Regression models explored spatial non-stationarity by modeling spatial relationships that vary across the study area. Bivariate Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA) cluster maps were created for superfund site proximity and cancer risk (high-high, low-low, low-high, high-low). Kruskal-Wallis testing compared the distributions of different variables across the four LISA cluster types. Results: Study explored 82,770 census tracts nationwide. For every 10 percentile increase in Superfund proximity, there was an increase of 4% in cancer risk (p < 0.001). This association was strongest in the Intermountain West, South-Southeast, and Northeast regions. High-high clusters (high proximity to Superfund, high cancer risk) had higher percentage of non-White, low-income, unemployed and lower education attainment populations compared to low-low clusters (all p < 0.001). Within high-high clusters, non-White population had the strongest correlation with proximity to Superfunds. Cancer risk was much higher for the top 10% than the bottom 10% of proximity to Superfunds (Table). Conclusions: Our study highlights higher clustering of cancer risk around neighborhoods with existing Superfund sites. Further, we demonstrate the closer a neighborhood is to a Superfund site, the greater the cancer risk is with associated sociodemographic changes. Using a novel approach to geospatial analytics, the results demonstrate the first clear evidence of a dangerous association between Superfunds and healthcare, and encourage the urgent prioritization of Congressional policies that optimize investment in Superfund site clean up for public health.

Improvement of financial management tools of agricultural enterprises

Financial management of agricultural enterprises, like any other direction of managerial activity, is a complex system consisting of many interdependent elements that collectively determine the financial stability of the subject. The authors defined the principles of financial management in the system of management activities: the principle of complexity after the adoption of management decisions, the principle of variability of approaches to the development of management decisions, the principle of dynamism of management decisions, the principle of compliance of management decisions with the strategic goals of the enterprise. It has been established that the main goal, the achievement of which is aimed at managerial decisions within the framework of financial management, is to guarantee the financial stability of agricultural enterprises based on the organization of the competent distribution of financial resources, their use and movement, and that at the current stage of the development of economic relations, an important factor in increasing the competitiveness of agricultural enterprises enterprises are using digital products that allow automating the management system of business entities. It was found that in order to increase the efficiency of the financial management system, agricultural enterprises need to improve financial resources management tools, one of which is the implementation of the Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP-system), which automates management activities. The use of such software products will allow: at the enterprise level – to improve the general financial condition and timely neutralization of threats capable of weakening the financial stability of entities; at the level of the national economy – to guarantee the financial security of the state. Improving the financial management system of agricultural enterprises based on the implementation of the ERP software product will allow to increase the effectiveness of management decisions in the field of financial resource management and, accordingly, significantly strengthen their financial stability.

Analysis of the Impact of Globalization Trends in the Digital Economy on Business Management and Administration Systems of Enterprises

Aim. This study aims to investigate the impact of globalization trends on the business management and administration systems. Methodology. The scoping review of the literature included 123 articles through desk research and in-house material. Upon categorizing typologies as qualitative, quantitative, or mixed, an assessment was made regarding the performance and consequences of globalization from 1990 to 2022. Results. Developing country managers are more likely to depend on international sales as a means to augment revenue, due to the greater saturation of sales in developed markets. Developed economies focus on advanced, possibly automated production methods, whereas developing nations employ the digital economy to compete in less automated industries. This creates a more specialized global market..E-commerce in the digital economy makes it easier for developing nations to enter the global market and reach a global audience. In their pursuit of financial gain, corporations based in affluent nations are more likely to employ sophisticated production methods, while those situated in developing countries are more likely to utilize less advanced ones. A number of prevalent issues and trends—including economics, politics, emerging markets, corporate social responsibility, and emerging markets—were recognized as critical for the development of global markets. While past research has focused on globalization's effects on developed economies, this study examines emerging country managers' unique difficulties and opportunities. The emphasis on expanding international sales and potential manufacturing process reduction can inform management approaches in similar situations. Conclusion. The recommendations underscore the critical necessity for further investigation into the aforementioned impacts across diverse economies, ranging from developing to developed. Although this study encountered difficulties due to inconsistent and limited data, it established a strong foundation for subsequent investigations in the field through the application of operationalization, methodologies, and analyses discovered in the business literature.

Trade Secret Protection and the Integration of Information Within Firms

We examine the effect of trade secret protection laws on internal information integration (i.e., the extent to which economic agents are provided with access to decision-relevant information from other economic agents within a firm). We argue that stronger trade secret protection laws increase firms’ internal information integration because they reduce the proprietary costs of information leakage. To test our prediction, we measure a firm’s internal information integration by the share of its sites integrated into its enterprise management system. Exploiting the staggered adoption of trade secret protection laws via the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (UTSA), we find that these laws increase firms’ internal information integration. This effect is stronger (weaker) for firms with higher proprietary costs (coordination benefits). Further, we provide evidence that the UTSA-induced increase in internal information integration translates into improvements of firms’ internal information quality and decision-making quality. Taken together, our results enhance the understanding of the economic trade-offs shaping firms’ internal information environment. This paper was accepted by Ranjani Krishnan, accounting. Funding: S.

Reflections on the Construction of Strategic Performance Management System in Chinese Manufacturing Enterprises

In the surge of global economic integration, China's manufacturing industry is poised at the forefront of a transformational upgrade. Beyond the hum of production lines, the vital pulse lies within the robust rhythm of Strategic Performance Management Systems (SPMS). Yet, studies indicate that despite China's manufacturing sector advancing towards "intelligent manufacturing" and innovation, there are numerous areas within strategic performance management systems that urgently demand enhancement. In the coming years, for China's manufacturing industry to secure higher value positioning within the global supply chain and assert dominance in niche markets, it must seize the nerve center of strategic performance management. Confronted with a series of challenges including slowing growth, rising costs, and tightening environmental regulations, manufacturing enterprises urgently need to construct an efficient and precise performance management system. However, in reality, many enterprises still exhibit a weak strategic execution, lacking a systematic performance orientation and employee incentive mechanisms, often resulting in a disconnect between strategic objectives and performance management. The factors affecting the effective implementation of strategic performance management within enterprises are intricate. Internal factors primarily encompass the rigidity of corporate culture, bottlenecks in leadership style and employee engagement, as well as hindrances in information sharing and communication mechanisms. External factors involve the volatility of market environments, unclear policy directions, and intensifying international competition. The formulation of a comprehensive performance management system undoubtedly holds profound significance for optimizing resource allocation, reinforcing core competitiveness, and enhancing strategic responsiveness.

Mechanism for ensuring risk resistance in the system of management of enterprises in crisis conditions

The article proposes the structure and relationship of the elements of the mechanism for ensuring risk resistance in the system of managing the activities of enterprises in crisis conditions, which includes three main components: resource, organizational, and support system, each of which contains several elements. It was established that the dual role of risk resistance in the enterprise management system is that, on the one hand, risk resistance contributes to purposeful functioning and development, affecting the overall results of operations. On the other hand, it is determined by the interaction of the enterprise with higher-level systems, as well as internal and external factors that can become sources of risk in crises. It is emphasized that the structure of the mechanism for ensuring risk resistance, being complex and dynamic, requires constant improvement. Regardless of operating conditions and strategic goals, an enterprise must have a mechanism for ensuring risk resistance that best meets its needs. It is justified that the resource component of the mechanism for ensuring the risk resistance of the enterprise includes financial resources of the enterprise; material and technical resources necessary for the organization and ensuring the continuity of the enterprise's risk activities; personnel resources, which are determined by the number of employees engaged in analysis, assessment, and risk management. The organizational component of the mechanism for ensuring risk resistance includes organizing the most effective use of the resources involved, namely methods of analysis, assessment, and management of risks, as well as socio-economic relations arising in the process of a risky situation. The third component of the mechanism for ensuring risk resistance – the security system – includes regulatory and legal, information security, and corporate culture. Keywords: risk resilience, uncertainty, crisis conditions, anti-crisis management, strategic enterprise management.
