Cost Accounting and Raising the Effectiveness of Scientific-Technical Progress

The revolution in science and technology predetermines the necessity for cardinal changes in the entire system of economic management, and the transition to adequate forms and methods of economic management is in turn an important factor in the further acceleration of technical progress. By no means do all the elements of the present economic mechanism correspond to the tasks of the general development of science and technology. As indicated in the Report of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) to the Twenty-fifth Party Congress, much still remains to be done so that scientific advances more quickly progress from individual models to the mass production of new equipment.

Scientific - Technical Potential and Long-Term Economic Growth

The sharp reorientation projected by Party in realm of economic development and changeover to intensive methods of economic management advance theoretical problems of reproduction of a new type, which expands primarily on basis of technological utilization of attainments of modern science. It is possible to speak of advent of historic period predicted by K. Marx when the production process will be transformed from simple process of labor into a scientific process …. (1) In this regard it is essential to systematize and evaluate new factors of economic growth that play a paramount role in long run.

Rental Relations and the Development of Economic Methods of Management

The urgency of investigating the theory of rental relations in the socialist system of management is determined by a number of circumstances — especially by the need to substantiate proportions in social production and the criteria of its effectiveness and to stimulate the optimal use of all national economic resources and the improvement of distributive relations. The solution of these problems presupposes the further elaboration of the theory of differential rent under socialism and, on this basis, the development of practical forms of rental relations in the national economy.

Labor Resources in the Ninth Five-Year Plan

The Soviet nation has entered the third, decisive year of the five-year plan. On the basis of successes attained and considering the problems that are still unresolved, the Communist Party has outlined the basic directions and has defined concrete ways of implementing the Ninth Five-Year Plan. In his report on the fiftieth anniversary of the USSR, L. I. Brezhnev pointed out: Today the main task is to sharply alter the orientation, to shift the emphasis to intensive methods of economic management, and thereby to bring about a substantial rise in the effectiveness of the economy. The point is that to an ever increasing degree, economic growth must be due to increased labor productivity and to the acceleration of scientific and technical progress.

Economic and Administrative Methods of Managing the Economy

Successes realized in carrying out the economic reform in industry attest to the fruitfulness of the changeover to economic methods of management, consistently implemented by the decisions of the CPSU beginning with the October (1964), March, and September (1965) Plenums of the Central Committee and the 23 rd Party Congress. At the same time, to a considerable extent, the difficulties that have arisen in the course of the reform result from the fact that in a number of cases there is bureaucratic administration and the economic interests of the enterprises are ignored.

The Basic Lines of Wholesale Price Revision

An Essential Condition The experience of the 673 enterprises that were shifted to the new methods of planning and economic stimulation provides convincing evidence that the economic reform is correct and scientifically substantiated. But it must also be borne in mind that the transition to the new methods of economic management has taken place so far with the old wholesale prices for industrial goods in effect. Hence, implementation of the reform in branches operating at a planned loss or at a small profit has met with serious difficulties. On the other hand, some of the enterprises shifted to the new conditions of work operated at an abnormally high level of profitability. Thus, during the first half of this year the profitability (in percentages relative to production assets) of the Moscow Hard Alloys Plant was 98%, of the Kuntsevo Needle Platinum Factory — 101.5%, and of the Kosino Knitted Goods Mill — 140%. Under such conditions, of course, the 6% charge on assets could not have a stimulating effect. ...

Price and its Role in the System of Economic Methods of Management

I Price is the monetary expression of value. Value is quantitatively determined by the socially necessary production expenditures. Marx defines the value of every commodity as the amount of labor materialized in the commodity's use value — i.e., as the labor time that is socially necessary for its production.
