The need to find new methods of management of trading enterprises, where the management of cyber security of trading operations should occupy a key position, is becoming highly relevant. The search and implementation of these methods is a priority task for management practitioners and theoreticians, public administration specialists. That is why the purpose of the article is to find and research effective methods of cyber security management in the customer loyalty system of domestic enterprises, to build an effective organizational chart of the customer loyalty cyber security management mechanism, which is based on the protection of all components of the commodity-economic interaction and its proper resource provision. As part of the study, the following general scientific theoretical methods were used: system analysis and synthesis - to build a management scheme for the loyalty cyber protection system; induction method - for accumulation, generalization and processing of information of relevance and unsolved research problems; the method of deduction - to distinguish the main components of the problem; methods of abstraction and concretization - for a schematic and practically oriented description of the problems of cyber protection of trade enterprises; abstract logical method - for identifying logical problems of the loyalty cyber protection system, assessing the risks of cyber incidents, identifying resource needs of cyber protection. As a result of research on the security of informatization of trade and economic processes, the significant impact of cyber incidents on the decrease in customer loyalty of trade enterprises has been confirmed. However, in the case of domestic sellers and buyers, there is a low interest in issues of information and cyber security of trade operations. The main problem remains the lack of a unified approach to managing customer loyalty cyber security. The paper proposes a scheme for cyber protection of customer loyalty, which provides for a comprehensive mechanism for assessing, monitoring and solving cyber risks and cyber incidents. The main component of the effectiveness of such a scheme is the Information Security Policy and the prompt response to cyber incidents. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the fact that the recommendations and proposals outlined in the study provide justification for the implementation of an effective system of cyber protection of the loyalty of buyers of domestic trade enterprises. Prospects for further research in this direction are the segmentation of the organizational chart of the buyer's loyalty cyber security management mechanism for the cases of domestic trade enterprises of various types and sizes.

Взгляд на партийные идеологии через призму административных парадигм

The article is devoted to the analysis of proposals for the reform of public administration in the programs of the Russian political parties that participated in the 2021 Duma elections, the assessment of their coherency and realism as an indicator of the party’s political maturity, its willingness to implement its slogans in practice. Using classification methods, as well as content and thesaurus analysis, the author documents similarities and differences between these proposals and considers them through the prism of party ideologies and basic administrative paradigms. The study does not reveal a clear correlation between party ideology and proposals for improving public administration: party programs with polar ideologies have similar proposals. At the same time, the author discovers a connection between party ideologies and administrative paradigms presented in the programs. Left-wing parties are oriented towards Good Governance i.e., the openness of the authorities and the involvement of citizens in the administration. New Public Management associated with economic efficiency and client-centric state is typical to right-wing and (to some degree) centrist parties. The Weberian paradigm with its emphasis on the legality and procedural aspects is scarcely presented in the programs of Russian parties. In general, the paradigm of Good Governance is most popular in the programs. The author explains the dominance of this paradigm in party programs both with the populist trend gaining strength all over the world and with a request for social justice inherent in the Russian society. However, according to his conclusion, although parties and society are ready for cooperation, which is reflected in discursive practices, such readiness conflicts with the underdevelopment of the mechanisms of the implementation of Good Governance, which have not yet been developed even at the level of theory. He sees a possible solution to this problem in the unification of the efforts of political scientists and specialists in public administration and overcoming the mismatch between these disciplines.

Liderstvo v publichnomu upravlinni: perspektyvy rozvytku v Ukraini

In modern conditions, Ukraine sets many tasks, based on the democratization of public administration. To a large extent, this applies to the development of leadership and methods of ensuring it as a universal lever through which the state influences the condition of social, economic and political development. Leadership as a stabilizing factor of public administration, integrates the interests of different groups of the population, plays an important role in their lives, activities, group decisions that are important for each member of such a group. Leadership development includes strategies, objectives and goals of public service activities that will help improve the quality of public administration. Aspects related to management activities can be developed on the basis of an institutional environment that provides a clear legal basis for the functioning of the public service; development of civil society and effective communication between government and citizens; organizes models of educational and scientific activities related to the acquisition of knowledge and competencies of public administration specialists and research on the development of leadership in public administration. It is noteworthy that a person who seeks public recognition and support from the general public must necessarily demonstrate a willingness to implement the socially expected constructs that function in the mass consciousness as a social ideal. However, the methods of achieving such designs can be radically different up to the choice of diametrically opposed and mutually exclusive directions. It turns out that the despotic form of political domination in most cases leads to the regression of civil society and the state as a whole. Methodologically, the approach to the development of knowledge, skills and competencies of public administration leaders should be based on democratic principles and educational approaches that will form civic and managerial knowledge (competencies), namely, the ability to solve complex problems in professional and innovative spheres with the potential of obtaining and forming new knowledge or practices; ability to identify and solve systemic problems of social significance in key areas of activity. Public sector leadership is a combination of skills and competencies that provide personal influence, goal setting, and strategic thinking. Leaders are the initiators of change and key figures in the success of democratic administrative reform. They formulate strategies and determine how to implement them. Defining the prospects for the development of leadership in public administration is currently very important and is seen as a key to improving the capacity of social governance, which will depend on the sustainable development of the whole country.

ПОНЯТТЯ «БЕЗПЕКА ЛЮДИНИ» В ПРАВОВОМУ ПОЛІ УКРАЇНИ

There is no doubt that the notion of “human security”, as well as its synonyms in meaning with the notions of “human security”, “personal security”, in the legal literature, human security is undoubtedly the foundation of a democratic regime and the first, one of the main social values which the state must ensure. Therefore, in our opinion, it is urgent and necessary now to carry out fundamental research and determine the definition: what can we call human security, what elements does it consist of, how does it relate to the notion of human rights, who are the subjects of human security? The answers to these questions are complex and require a broad discussion, to which not only lawyers, but also social scientists, philosophers, politologists, representatives of law enforcement agencies, specialists in public administration and others should be invited. This article contains information about the analysis of the concept of human security and its aspects, in order to demonstrate how broad, interesting and complex the concept is and to ask the colleagues to work collectively on the creation of a definition, that has to improve the Ukrainian legislation and make it more modern and effective.
