Эволюция антикризисного управления организацией в современных условиях

The article deals with the dynamics of the theory of anti-crisis management of the organization (ACM) in modern conditions. The basic classifications of types of anti-crisis management are considered, their comparative analysis is carried out, conclusions are made that in modern conditions anti-crisis management of an organization is inseparably connected with its sustainable development, therefore, it comes to a new level, becoming a part of strategic management and especially actual today change management. The levels of anti-crisis management of the organization are marked out. The article pays special attention to the ambiguity of interpretation of the concept of «crisis of the organization». It is necessary for formation of effective anticrisis strategy of the organization to understand the essence of its basic concept – crisis, the research of its genesis and modern interpretations. The study of economic literature has shown that the understanding of crisis is ambiguous. There are two main positions have been formed in studies on the problems of crisis management to understand the nature of the crisis. One group of authors (E.M. Korotkov, T.N. Rogova, V.K. Krutikov, K.V. Baldin, S.E. Kovan, etc.) focuses on the negative manifestations of the crisis, its destructive function. Other researchers (A.S. Bolshakov, V.Y. Zakharov, A.D. Chernyakhovsky, N.D. Koryagin, A.S. Lifshits, V.M. Pishchulov, etc.) consider crises as a contradictory phenomenon and analyse their positive sides and creative role. The dual nature of crises predetermines the multi-purpose orientation of ACS and multifunctionality of its content. This is the peculiarity of the anti-crisis management system. The unified ACM system includes tools for crisis prevention, diagnosis, overcoming the crisis, enterprise restructuring strategy, methods of crisis prevention, methods of forecasting and planning, strategic management, as well as non-standard methods of personnel management. The author notes that crisis management tools should be integral components of sustainable enterprise development strategies.

POSSIBILITIES OF USING GAMIFICATION IN TEACHING ECONOMICS TO MEDICAL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Background. Among the key trends influencing education today, the following stand out: “massification” and internationalization of education, turbulence of the world economy, “digital revolution”, technological innovation. Gamification has become a popular tool for solving various problems of varying degrees of complexity and today is confidently used in areas including business, personnel management, healthcare, and education. The purpose is to examine the application of gamification in teaching economics to medical students. Materials and methods. When working on the article, we used an analysis of sources containing experience in the use of gamification by domestic and foreign scientists, generalization and systematization of the results obtained, modeling of the educational process, a pedagogical experiment on modifying existing economic games and using them in practical classes in economics, observation of behavior students in classes using gaming technologies, analyzing the results of using games. Results. The characteristics of generations differ in different countries depending on the economic, social, political and other conditions of the development of society. Taking these characteristics into account, educational standards and teaching technologies are changing. Educational technologies used in the process of teaching economics to students of generation “Y” required significant improvements for teaching to students of generation “Z”. The idea of using gaming technologies, which is actively used in our time, cannot be called completely new. The classics of pedagogy K.D. Ushinsky and Sukhomlinsky V.A. spoke about the need for games in learning. The authors conducted a pedagogical experiment on introducing gamification into the teaching of economics to medical university students. At a medical university, students study economics in their junior years, when they themselves are still dependent and, with rare exceptions, have no experience of earning money on their own. The use of games, common in teaching economics at specialized economic universities, presupposes a well-developed economic thinking and knowledge base. For medical students, gamification tools require significant adaptation and refinement. Also, when introducing games into the learning process, it is necessary to take into account the different perceptions of students of generations “Y” and “Z”. Generation Z is closer to computer games and, accordingly, there are opportunities for their use in education. However, as the experiment showed, these students willingly take part and show interest in classes using the classical principles of board games. As a result, approaches to introducing gamification into teaching economics to medical university students have been developed. An analysis of gamification as a tool for developing interest and motivation of students was carried out, taking into account the theory of generations. As part of gamification, board games were modified and tested, which allowed students to develop skills in applying economic knowledge in future professional activities, including the commercialization of scientific developments.

LABOR VALUES IN THE PERCEPTION OF THE MILLENNIAL GENERATION IN THE CONDITIONS OF DIGITALIZATION

The purpose of the article is to explore the perception of work values as a marker of identity by the millennial generation in the context of the global digitalization of society. The millennial generation, being a significant part of the country’s economically active population, demonstrates its understanding of decent work, expressed in work preferences and value orientations, which, in turn, serves to determine the identity of this age group. Digitalization has contributed to the development and diversification of the employment sector by offering alternative forms, which has greatly changed the understanding of decent work. Based on data from a sociological study of formalized interviews among representatives of the millennial generation (n = 300), the key components of work values and their influence on the professional activity of representatives of the generation being studied were identified. The desire of millennials for career growth and professional self-improvement as the main labor value has been established; we can talk about a balance between external and internal labor orientations. It was revealed that an integral part of decent work for them is the presence of an expanded social package, including voluntary health insurance (VHI), and flexible work schedules. Millennials demonstrate high adaptability to changing conditions of the labor market and openness to innovation in organizing the labor process, which is manifested in a preference for remote forms of employment, opportunities for retraining and development. In the future, it is possible to study the attitudes towards work of millennials and centennials from a comparative perspective. The results of the article are of interest to those specializing in the field of sociology of labor and sociology of youth. The sociological research data can be used in the practical organization of labor activities to optimize personnel management and create a corporate culture that meets the needs of the new generation of workers.

Міжнародний досвід бухгалтерського обліку маркетингових витрат

The international aspects of marketing cost accounting cover various approaches and practices that influence companies’ management decisions and financial reporting worldwide. Implementing International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) ensures the unification of methods for recognizing and classifying marketing expenses, contributing to transparency and comparability of financial and non-financial data. Different countries adapt these standards to their economic and regulatory characteristics, leading to variations in accounting practice. Analysis of international experience allows business entities to improve management strategies and increase cost efficiency. Studying these aspects is critical to ensuring competitiveness and stability in the global business environment. The article aims to summarize the priority international approaches to the recognition and measurement of marketing expenses in financial statements. The study used deduction, analysis, synthesis, and generalization methods. It is established that the primary documents regulating the accounting treatment of marketing costs include IAS 38 «Intangible Assets» (for capitalization of marketing costs, if justified) and IAS 15 «Revenue from Contracts with Customers» (for advertising and promotion costs related to contracts). One of the most promising types of marketing in today’s conditions is digital, which is confirmed by the amount of financing in European countries. The international standards governing the accounting of marketing costs are generalized. The results obtained can be used to improve domestic UAS and develop internal regulations for business entities. We see promising areas for further research in studying the issues of consistency between international and national accounting standards to identify common and distinctive features and areas for improving domestic regulations, as well as developing primary and reporting forms that will allow an objective reflection of their financial basis and serve as an essential source of data for management personnel. Keywords: marketing expenses, accounting, IFRS, marketing, advertising.

Economic policy uncertainty and the demand for labor: Evidence from the online job postings of Chinese firms

This paper examines the impact of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on labor demand. Using data from a Chinese online job posting site, this study empirically investigates how EPU affects firms' hiring behavior. The results suggest that EPU has overall negative effects. Firms tend to reduce job postings in times of increasing policy uncertainty. More particularly, the demand for skills such as teamwork, personnel management, project management, and customer service declines, while individual qualities become more important to enterprises. The study also reveals that there is a positive relationship between EPU and the educational background required in firms' job ads. Further analysis indicates that non-state-owned enterprises, those with poor internal control quality, smaller scale, greater industry competitiveness, and those in non-high-tech industries are more significantly affected by EPU in hiring. This research provides empirical support and policy recommendations for the government to maintain employment stability and stimulate enterprise labor demand.

Continuous charging assignment algorithm for heterogeneous robot clusters based on E-CARGO

Forming robot clusters is a common means to improve work efficiency and ensure personnel safety in intelligent logistics warehousing. However, designing a reasonable charging sequence and time for each robot in the cluster poses a major challenge for management personnel. In actual scenarios, the working and charging processes of the robots must be considered simultaneously. This study also considers multiple constraints on robot battery levels and available workstations under different parameters to ensure each team operates normally at any given time. Additionally, to enhance cooperation efficiency and alleviate the workload of management personnel, the problem is transformed from conventional one-time assignments to adaptive continuous assignments within fixed time periods. Accordingly, the ACP-GRAC problem is proposed. Firstly, a group role assignment model with conflicts is introduced to resolve assignment conflicts caused by mismatches between job skills and position requirements. Then, energy information is shared among robots during the charging process, adding adaptive cooperation concepts to address continuous charging issues. Finally, the E-CARGO model is utilized to formalize the ACP-GRAC problem, and the HCCA algorithm is designed for its solution. Furthermore, a classification backtracking strategy is proposed to simultaneously address the constraint of continuous operation at any given time and the problem of constraint violations caused by the HCCA algorithm’s pursuit of maximum team performance. Moreover, since the classification backtracking strategy can compute the theoretical minimum remaining energy of the robot before departing for charging, it further optimizes the overall work efficiency. Additionally, this study addresses the issue of low cluster work efficiency due to the unreasonable initial planning sequence of the algorithm. In the experimental section, comparisons are made with recent excellent heuristic algorithms and deep reinforcement learning algorithms. Experimental results demonstrate that B-HCCA exhibits significant advantages in both solution efficiency and solution quality when addressing adaptive cooperation problems with group role assignment conflicts.
