Science Communication and Popularization of Science in CS recruitment Tasks

The article analyzes the global practice of using science communication and, in particular, science popularization to recruit volunteers for citizen science projects (CS recruitment). Russians actively participate in global, cross-border online projects. However, local Russian CS projects are less successful. It is shown that the problem of unsatisfactory recruitment is very serious. Science communication and science popularization contribute to recruitment and volunteer retention. Moreover, the role of communication is particularly important in the early stages of a project. The concepts of active and preliminary stages of CS recruitment are introduced to identify the dynamics of volunteer motivation. The experiences considered in the article can be useful for scientific management in Russia.

Prospects for Sustainable Corporate Governance in Russia Based on Integrated Communications

The article presents the author’s understanding of the terms “corporate governance”, “corporate management” and “communication management” in the context of the concept of sustainable development, the ESG agenda and sustainable corporate governance, as well as their relationship. The role of the stakeholder approach in bringing together the content of the concepts of “corporate governance” and “integrated communications” is shown. Some features of communications management in Russia, including in the context of ESG, are examined in detail. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that many Russian companies and organizations are extremely slow to implement the principles and methods of integrated communications and sustainable corporate governance, although they determine the effectiveness of theiractivities. The subject of the study is the system of sustainable corporate governance as part of the implementation of ESG principles in Russia. The purpose of the article is to show Russian stakeholders the role of integrated communications in the development of sustainable corporate governance and ESG policies using research methods such as analysis of scientific papers on the research topic, comparison, generalization, systemic and logical analysis. The scientific novelty of the publication is justified by the author’s interpretation of the variants of understanding the terms, for example, the authors of the article consider the organizational and/or functional division of communications into internal and external to be unproductive. In addition, in order to modernize the methodology for rating and auditing companies and organizations for compliance of their activities with ESG principles, the authors propose to increase the number of management criteria of block “G”, using metrics for assessing the effectiveness of integrated communications management, taken from the “corporate management” and “communications” systems management». The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of its use in the development of integrated communications systems within the framework of sustainable corporate governance, as well as in the course of modernizing the methodology for rating and auditing ESG policies in Russian companies and organizations. A further direction of research may be related to the development of criteria and indicators of the quality of integrated communications systems and sustainable corporate governance, as well as consideration of the characteristics of Russian communications practices in the business environment.

Forecasting Macro-Economic Indicators Based on Text Information from Strategic Management Field in Russia

The current situation in economic activity is notable for exponential increase in accessible e-information and serious interest in its use in order to get competitive advantages. The article studies influence of information published in mass media on the essential social and economic indicators, which show key concepts of the system of strategic management in Russia. Methodological basis of the research was formed by theories of cognitive, topical modeling and regressive analysis. In the investigation the author used methods of topical modeling, machine education and statistical analysis of data. The author put forward the procedure of automated plotting of the cause-and-effect diagram based on qualitative and quantitative data. The system of causal links between key concepts of the system gave a chance to build forecast models of high accuracy. Findings of the research showed that topics being highlighted in mass media can influence social and economic indicators. Unfortunately, accidental events can make mathematic models, relying on system inertia, inadequate. In theoretical aspect the article proposes the procedure of automated building of the cause-and-effect diagram based on heterogeneous data, which can eliminate the problem of subjectivity of expert estimations in plotting cognitive maps. In applied aspect models of forecasting the most important social and economic indicators based on mass media publications were worked out that lean against cause-and-effect diagram and can support well-grounded managerial decisions and in case of necessity can affect the situation.

Проблема разработки регионами страны рациональных нормативно-правовых основ стратегического управления

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of developing rational legal frameworks for the strategic management of the country’s regions, no matter what natural, climatic and meteorological conditions they are in. The dissonance that has arisen between the theory and practice of strategic management in Russia is explained by many reasons, including the result of the transition to new economic relations. However, this does not make the problem any easier. According to the authors, the process of developing the regulatory framework for the strategic management of the country’s regions should be subordinated to the principles of autonomy in conducting the economic activities of each specific region, ensuring economic self-sufficiency, the development of the most energy-intensive areas in the economy of each individual region, state regulation of the economic activities of the country’s regions in the aspect coordination of economic relations between regions, etc.

РАЗВИТИЕ КООПЕРАЦИИ НА РОССИЙСКОМ ДАЛЬНЕМ ВОСТОКЕ В НАЧАЛЕ XX в.

The cooperative form of economic management in Russia is formed with the emergence of capitalist relations, being in turn an indicator of economy’s transition to a new level of development.

The article presents an overview of the main activities of cooperative enterprises in the Russian Far East on the eve of political and economic cataclysms at the beginning of the XXth century.

Managing digital transport infrastructure of a region

The socio-economic situation in the world and the Russian Federation in particular is characterized by increasing mobility in all spheres of public life and the expansion of economic ties. To maintain its competitive advantages, a territory should ensure effective communication lines and a highly developed transport system. The paper investigates the issues of transport infrastructure management in Russia at regional level. The theoretical framework includes the concepts of public management and digital transformation, as well as spatial development theory. The methods of synthesis, expert assessment, and min-max normalization were used. Statistical data were retrieved from the Russian Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) for 2016–2021. It was found that the current methodologies for assessing transport infrastructure are not in line with the global trends in the social development, including digital transformation. In the paper, we come up with a new methodology for assessing digital transport infrastructure (DTI) which suggests calculating a composite index of the region’s DTI based on four subindices: transport, education, information and communication, and innovation. The study provides composite indices for Russia’s all federal districts for the period from 2016 to 2021 indicating that the regions are seriously lagging behind the center, and the development level of innovation, ICT and education is insufficient.

State in Context of Dataism: Swarm of Political Agents and Data Management in Russia and the World

The article analyzes the transformation of the state in context of dataism. Dataism is a paradigm that (1) recognizes the crucial role of data in policy preparation and evaluation, (2) considers all systems as a structures of data exchange between decentralized agents for coordination and collective decision-making. In context of dataism the state implements information incentives through data policy to receive feedback from citizens and businesses in the form of engagement in management, value creation, production of local innovations. Dataism transforms the state in a swarm of political agents, where collective decision-making becomes possible through data exchange. The swarm model requires effective data management as the creation of organizational, regulatory and infrastructural conditions for the use of the data in policy implementation. The article presents a comparison of the data management results in Russia and different groups of countries within the framework of the global data management map. Russia has significant results in regulatory and structural measurements of data management, but additional solutions are needed in participatory and accountability/transparency measurements. The directions of improving data management in Russia include open data policy, transparency of automated systems, crowdsensing; intersectoral data exchange.

Features of taxation of rational environmental management as a factor of sustainable growth in Russia

The article is devoted to the study of the problems of fiscal regulation of the rational use of natural resources to achieve the goals of sustainable economic growth and improve the quality of life of the population. According to official statistics, it should be noted that it is difficult to identify individual problems on the impact of direct taxation of the use of natural resources on the effectiveness of environmental management in Russia. Great practical importance in theoretical and applied economics is attached to strengthening the environmental component in taxation. The purpose of the study was to analyze the prospects for the development of the implemented directions of the tax policy of rational environmental management to ensure the environmental safety of Russia. In modern tax systems, a separate aspect highlights the directions of tax regulation of the use of natural resources, providing a fiscally significant effect on budget revenues at all levels and increasing the environmental potential of rational environmental management. Various general scientific methods were used in the research process, including: abstract-logical, comparative analysis, generalization, as well as tabular and graphical methods. When studying the practical experience of tax regulation of effective environmental management, SWOT analysis methods, as well as variable and trend analysis are used. The authors provide a systematic analysis of the practice of ensuring budget revenues of the subjects of the Russian Federation and their compliance with the policy of rational environmental management, as well as determining the causal relationship of the considered features of taxation of the use of natural resources in Russia. The procedure for taxation of environmental management is important for the formation of fiscal sustainability and ensuring high efficiency of tax policy in the field of rational environmental management. The state policy of taxation of environmental management should be based on the principle of preserving the interest of investors in investments in environmental protection measures, providing tax incentives and preferences for the introduction of new waste-free production technologies. The prospects for further development of tax regulation of effective environmental management should be aimed at activating public-private partnerships by stimulating private investment in the creation of new and modernization of existing assets of the "green" economy, as well as optimizing environmental monitoring.

Оперативное управление фитнес-клубом

Fitness center managers in Russia and the Far East, as well as the managers of organizations in other areas, face the problem of ineffective operations. Regional features such as remoteness, cultural diversity, and climatic conditions can affect the competitiveness of fitness services. Solutions to the problem can lie in the internal environment of the organization, including improving the management system and the activity planning system. In most Russian organizations, and fitness centers are no exception, tactical planning and the control and motivation of activities tied to it are carried out over relatively long time periods: a month, a quarter, a half-year, a year. However, in the conditions of the Far East, where a rapidly changing economic and social situation requires flexibility, the relevance of shorter-term planning increases. In the article, the authors present the results of testing the weekly operational management system in the activities of fitness centers in Russia. In particular, it is shown that it allows fitness industry organizations to expand their client base, increase sales revenue, and ensure an increase in salaries for employees responsible for sales. The findings may be of interest to managers of fitness centers in Russia and the Far East, in particular, those interested in improving the efficiency of management activities.

Определение параметров агент-ориентированной модели резильентного управления промышленностью России

The purpose of the work is to establish the parameters of an agent-based model of the industrial complex of the Russian Federation for resilient management of its functioning. To achieve this goal, a number of tasks were completed. A theoretical basis for the main provisions of the study is given. The author's definition of industry resilience is proposed. Analyzed crisis periods in the development of the Russian economy (1998, 2008, 2014-15, 2020, 2022) and the features of industrial development during these periods were clarified. The stages of crisis periods in the development of Russian industry over the past decades have been identified. The parameters of the industrial system that respond to shock fluctuations of crises and control indicators have been established. A spectral analysis was performed to assess the adequacy of the response of the phase vector parameters to shock fluctuations of crisis phenomena. Regression equations were constructed to identify the parameters of the model of resilient industrial management in Russia. The quality of the equations was assessed. The possibility of their use for estimating control system parameters and making forecasts is substantiated. The resulting statistical models can be used to build an agent-oriented model of the Russian industrial resilient management.

Искусственный интеллект в политическом управлении: тенденции и перспективы

The article discusses the main directions of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the political life of society. It is noted that the level and quality of life of the population depends on the pace of AI implementation in various spheres of public life. The analysis of the conducted research in the format of an expert interview allows us to identify the key trends, advantages and challenges faced by the Russian political system in the implementation of AI. The results of the expert survey provide valuable practical recommendations and a basis for discussing possible directions for the development of AI in political management in Russia. The article notes the insufficient elaboration of the problems of artificial intelligence in the Russian scientific, in particular, political science discourse, which, in turn, is seen as promising in increasing research opportunities. The aim of the work is to identify the main trends in the use of artificial intelligence in political management and the prospects for its development in the political sphere of society. The consideration of the problem was based on the results of an initiative political and sociological study in the format of an expert interview (N=7). The following general scientific methods were used to analyze the results obtained: description, analysis, synthesis, classification. The study also used SWOT analysis to identify the strengths and weaknesses of using AI in the field of domestic state policy and electoral systems, as well as to show the opportunities and threats of its use. The analysis of the results of the expert survey showed that artificial intelligence is most in demand in such areas as analytics, decision-making, scenario forecasting, political communications, improving the efficiency of political institutions, especially the electoral system, monitoring voter sentiment, and in the field of security. Highlighting the shortcomings in the use of AI, experts noted the possible subjectivity and bias in decision-making, the problem of transparency and protection of personal data. As solutions to this problem, the development of appropriate regulations protecting the human right to confidentiality and privacy, "transparent" algorithms, and careful selection of data on the basis of which AI makes decisions were proposed. The prospect of further research lies in the development of ethical standards that can ensure transparency and security in the implementation of AI in political systems. An important conclusion of the article is the conclusion that there is an objective need to develop a regulatory framework and conduct regular inspections of AI systems to maintain trust and effective use of digital technologies in politics.
