Стратегии выхода российских организаций на международные рынки в изменившихся внешнеэкономических условиях

The change in the system of world economic communications as a result of sanction policy towards Russia and its allied countries forces enterprises and organizations to prove strategies of entry into foreign markets for the purpose of income generation and inclusion in new value chains. Therefore, the purpose of this research is the comparative analysis of factors and assessment of the application of international market entry strategies of Russian IT companies. Qualitative and quantitative methods of economic research were applied to achieving this goal. Qualitative methods included PESTEL analysis, situation and comparative analysis. Quantitative methods included the cost-benefit method, statistical techniques and economic analysis methods. Tabular and graphic approaches are used for text visualization. In this research the factors influencing organizations activity in the international sphere and also the main foreign market entry strategies of IT companies were analyzed. Comparative analysis revealed benefits and shortcomings of each strategy, taking into account modern forms of business and currency risks. For the Russian IT company producing software three strategies were evaluated: export, franchising and direct investments. The choice of the IT industry for considering international market entry strategies of Russian organizations is proven. It is necessary to separate the development of new technologies and infrastructure, existence of financial resources and pressure of economic sanctions from the factors influencing this process. Of the three strategies analyzed, the lowest-cost and lowest-profit strategy was the franchising strategy; it can be used when there is a shortage of financial resources. For “growth hacking” the expensive, but highly profitable strategy of direct investment taking into account currency hedging is applicable. Proceeding from the analysis of the influencing factors and legal conditions of the Russian Federation it is expedient to follow the strategy of average profitable export for ensuring company development. The practical application of strategies for organizations to enter foreign markets is a multifaceted object of research that requires a comprehensive analysis of various aspects of business expansion. The received results will help companies make weighed decisions when choosing the optimum strategy for expanding their business in the international market.

Personal life environment within the socio-political context of modern Russia: status according to the attribute of certainty

The subject of the article relates to the sociological discourse on the category of uncertainty at the personal level of analysis. The uncertainty of the environment inherently contains risks as a potential possibility of damage from an adverse outcome of events, phenomena, processes. The strategy of the analysis presented in the article takes as the initial and independent position of the study the fact that there is such a context in the environment, such conditions that can serve as sources of risks of various levels. In the research proposed in the article, the author proceeds from the fact that a fundamentally risky socio-political context at the country level (SMO, increasing sanctions pressure) by a particular person may not be perceived as causing uncertainty in the space of his personal life environment. The empirical basis of the analysis is data from a representative survey of the Russian population conducted on a quota sample in June 2023. A methodological approach is applied, the peculiarity of which is the formation within the sample the target groups according to the criterion corresponding to the main goal of the analysis – self-determination of the living environment status. The data was rearranged and analyzed under an intelligence strategy aimed at identifying similarities and differences between those who positively and clearly see their life prospects and those who are in a situation of uncertainty about the future and the present. The analysis of those resources and features that have the greatest weight in differentiating the selfdetermination of the living environment status within the risky external environment made it possible to assess their internal relationship and carry out an empirical (real), as opposed to a priori (theoretical) grouping. The empirical grouping revealed three blocks of resource determinants of differences between target groups in determining the adaptive status of the living environment, which correlate with the components of subjective intelligence: emotional as the ability to recognize, understand and use emotions, with social as skills and experience of communication with the institutional environment, rationality as the presence of skills of self-organization and self-control.

At the same time, the sanctions have affected the urban economy in completely different ways: while in some cities show significant negative effect, in others the impact of sanctions is insignificant. Cites face number of new challenges: disruption of supply chains, refusal to supply paid equipment, inability to find analogues of imported equipment with the necessary characteristics, rising prices for spare parts. components and construction materials, the rupture of established sales channels to unfriendly countries, a drop in municipal budget revenues, etc. The heads of the city administration work overtime to solve emerging problems, organize interaction between enterprises, establish and deepen business contacts with friendly countries, put forward proposals to improve the situation at the federal level. New tasks successfully solved, although it requires serious efforts. To respond to new challenges, we need a new, more decentralized and local-oriented style of public administration, a process of well-established feedback.

And also — on the illegality of the priority of political expediency and certain “rules” in the politics of Western countries over international law in modern conditions. In conclusion, the author concludes that the interests of both the revolutionary expediency in the USSR and the representatives of the “deep state” in the modern United States are directly dependent on collisions in the assessments of the essence of law, which are mediated by the political and economic interests of the dominant forces.

Экологическая готовность промышленных компаний в Республике Саха (Якутия) и влияние изменяющихся внешний условий на корпоративную экологическую политику.

The purpose of the work is to identify assessments of the readiness of industrial enterprises of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) to the conditions of post-Covid external shocks and sanctions pressure, as well as the impact of these conditions on corporate environmental policy. As a result of the study, an expert assessment was obtained on a fairly high level of environmental maturity of industrial enterprises of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), expressed in the presence of environmental management systems, not a high level of adaptation to crisis conditions associated with the uncertainty of the external environment and the delayed reaction of environmental management, not the uncertainty of the external environment. The reaction to uncertainty regarding changes in corporate environmental policy is associated with the postponement and reduction of the volume of implementation of environmental activities, and as adaptation measures, a softening of the environmental industrial policy of the Russian Federation is expected.
