ІНВЕСТИЦІЙНИЙ КЛІМАТ ЯК УМОВА СТРАТЕГІЧНОЇ КОНКУРЕНТОСПРОМОЖНОСТ

Abstract.The purpose of the article is to conduct an assessment of investment activity in Zakarpattia region on the basis of statistical information - an indicator of the policy of the regional authorities in the field of investment climate formation as a condition of high competitiveness.The study showed that recently there has been a sharp drop in investment activity in Zakarpattia. In 2020, the trend, which was aimed at growth, sharply went down. This indicates the deterioration of the investment climate in the region and, accordingly, the drop in the level of competitiveness of the region.The conducted analysis proves that insufficiently active investment policy in the region is due to the following reasons.First of all, in Zakarpattia, any investment, especially in the innovation field, should have a high financial return. Due to the lack of data on investments in the innovation sphere, the amount of investments in the region as a whole was chosen for analysis. As a result, an examination of the level of profitability of regional business was carried out using the indicator of the share of enterprises that received losses for the year. The share of enterprises in the region that ended the year unprofitable in 2020 is more than 25%, that is, every fourth enterprise operates without a profit. Due to the fact that the product of innovative activity, as a rule, has a high profitability, it is possible to conclude that investments in innovative activity are not decisive in the total amount of investments.Secondly, investments in innovative activity are highly risky, so the appropriate financial results should cover the degree of uncertainty and the possibility of financial fiasco.In addition, the reason for the investment climate that does not meet modern requirements is the inadequate financial condition of regional enterprises. The study showed that the region has low liquidity and solvency of enterprises. The amount of liabilities is much higher than equity, which indicates the extremely poor solvency of Transcarpathian enterprises.Low financial stability of a business is a marker of a possible pre-bankruptcy state. If the financial stability of the business is in question, the infusion of any investment is also a high-risk action, the implementation of which requires a change in management, policy, strategy, etc., which, in turn, determines the need for time and additional financial investments.Keywords:region, competitiveness, investment climate, solvency, profitability.

The agribusiness ecosystem as a way to a balanced recovery of the agrarian economy of Ukraine

The recovery of Ukraine's economy requires a systematic approach. Correlation analysis confirmed the high degree of dependence of Ukraine's GDP on the volume of agricultural products. The study of trends in the development of the industry revealed a number of problems: the predominance of economic goals over growing environmental threats, the production of products with low added value, high dependence on exports, and others. The creation of an agribusiness ecosystem has been proposed in the development of a strategy for post-war recovery. Innovative technologies of Industry 4.0 will make this transition more efficient. To evaluate the effectiveness of the created agribusiness ecosystem, an integral indicator of balanced development is proposed. Based on the analysis of the economic, environmental, social, innovative spheres, the application of four directions to evaluate the outcome for all actors of the agribusiness ecosystem is substantiated. This approach contributes to the overall recovery of the national economy.

ІННОВАЦІЙНА СИЛА ТА СТАТУС УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ЕКОНОМІКИ В КОНТЕКСТІ ЄВРОІНТЕГРАЦІЙНИХ ПРОЦЕСІВ

The innovative power of Ukraine plays a vital role in driving its economic growth and competitiveness, primarily as the country aims to integrate with Europe and works towards attaining candidate status for EU membership. To accurately assess Ukraine's innovative status and identify areas for improvement, it is imperative to evaluate critical indicators and factors. Given the current economic realities, pursuing an effective innovation policy for our country is of utmost importance, considering its status as a candidate for European Union membership. The article aims to analyze the innovative power and status of the Ukrainian economy within the framework of European integration processes. It has been determined that the level of innovative activity in Ukrainian companies is currently below the international standard and needs to catch up to the average benchmark set by the European Union. Emphasis is placed on the fact that most innovations are primarily "new to the firm," often achieved through equipment acquisition, rather than "new to the world" innovations. The study revealed that Ukrainian companies encounter a challenging external environment in their pursuit of innovation. Consequently, critical positive and negative factors that significantly influence the potential innovative power of the Ukrainian economy have been identified. The article analyzes the international legal agreements that serve as the foundation for cooperation between Ukraine and the EU in research and innovation. Furthermore, it highlights that Ukraine is classified as a new innovator according to the European Innovation Scoreboard 2022. The article emphasizes the structural disparities between Ukraine and the European Union, which significantly impact the innovative status and strength of the Ukrainian economy. The research concluded that Ukraine has substantial potential for cultivating an innovation-driven economy, owing to its large talent pool and entrepreneurial aptitude. Nevertheless, the innovative potential of Ukraine has yet to be fully realized, and the military conflicts on Ukrainian territory have introduced a new existential risk to the country's innovation sphere. Overcoming this challenge necessitates the effective engagement of public-private partnerships, a substantial increase in scientific funding within Ukraine, and the utilization of new opportunities, including financial ones, presented by the candidate status for EU membership. Particularly, joining the European research area holds promise in this regard.

РАЗВИТИЕ ИННОВАЦИОННЫХ ТЕХНОЛОГИЙ В ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ ПРЕДПРИЯТИЙ

The efficiency of enterprises in a market economy is based on their ability to quickly respond to rapidly changing economic realities. At the same time, one of the fundamental factors affecting the effectiveness, speed and efficiency of such a response is the presence and use of innovative technologies by an economic entity in its activities. Due to the focus of the modern economy on the development of innovation, state support for innovative enterprises is of key importance, since it is financial assistance from the state that is the foundation for the successful development of an innovative enterprise. The search for ways of state regulation and response, mechanisms, tools of state support is the main task when considering the problem of development of innovative enterprises. At the same time, an increase in innovative activity requires the participation of all public authorities, since in addition to monetary resources, tax policy, including various state benefits, credit policy, etc., should also be directed to solving this problem. In other words, the development of innovative activity and innovative enterprises requires the coordination of all state bodies involved in the regulation of the innovation sphere, which predetermines the relevance of the topic of the present study.

FINANCIAL ASPECTS OF INNOVATIVE STATE DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT IN MODERN CONDITIONS

Introduction. The issue of financial support for the management of innovative development of the state in modern conditions is highlighted. The analysis of the sources of financing of innovative activity was carried out, indicating negative trends in the structure and conditions of financial support for the management of innovative development. Recommendations have been developed for the improvement of innovative activity, taking into account the continuity of reproductive processes, which are implemented in the presence of a sufficient amount of financial resources by distinguishing the mechanism of financing, planning, budgeting and balancing of cash flows. Goal. The purpose of the article is to analyze the state, features of the financial support of innovative development of the state and assess its consequences in the conditions of modern economic transformations in order to identify the optimal directions of management of innovative processes. Research methods. The methods of generalization, systemic and structural-logical analysis were used in the process of preparing the article. The results. It is substantiated that in modern conditions, the imperative of innovative development is determined by the novelty, complexity, intensity and danger of global transformations, which determines the expediency of using management tools and their adaptation to a specific situation. It has been proved that the key role in the innovative development of the state is played by financial resources, due to which all stages of the innovation process are provided and various links of innovative activity are coordinated. The state of financial support for the management of innovative development is analyzed, since the economic effect of such development is determined by the ability to accumulate a sufficient amount of financial resources for the implementation of innovative ideas and affects the speed of bringing innovations to the market, and therefore, their commercial success. Attention is focused on the fact that the reduction of research and development costs, as a result, the reduction of the attractiveness of the research system for young scientists, the low concentration of researchers, the insufficient level of development of the innovation infrastructure, the limitation of the tools of institutional and financial support for innovators caused a negative impact on the reduction of the effectiveness of innovation activity. insufficient protection of intellectual property rights. It is proposed to ensure effective financing of innovative activities of economic entities by releasing a certain part of financial resources as a result of the introduction at the state level of special accounting and depreciation and tax policy regimes, as well as by attracting external investors to finance innovative projects, participation in international projects, within the framework of which innovative developments of enterprises will be supported. Recommendations have been developed for the activation of innovative activities through the use of various forms of state financial support; stimulation of investment in the innovative sphere; increase in funding of priority areas of science and innovation; balancing the volumes of expenses for fundamental, applied research and development; establishment of cooperation between the state and business sectors regarding the commercialization of innovations; expansion of interstate cooperation. Key words: financial support, innovative activity, innovative costs, sources of financing, innovative development, innovative processes, financial support, investment resources.

Innovation and inclusive model of additional education

Introduction. Additional education is a sphere of numerous innovations, a sphere of searching for new, individualized forms of work with students and students, including in the context of the development, implementation and reflection of educational trajectories of students and students with disabilities, in inclusive education. People with disabilities, as follows from the basic orientations of special and inclusive education, have special educational needs and, therefore, require additional support for educational, medical, psychological and social plans. Innovation, development, testing and reflection of new methods and directions of educational work with such learners and students is an urgent need, but not always innovations, even those especially focused on the formation and implementation of personal educational trajectories, help to fulfill the basic goal of (inclusive) education – the goal the formation and development of man as a subject of culture.Purpose setting. The purpose of the study is to comprehend the problems of educational innovations in the context of an inclusive model of additional education.Methodology and methods of the study. The research method is a theoretical analysis of the problems of educational innovations in the context of the idea of educational trajectories of students in inclusive education.Results. Innovations in inclusive and general education place special demands on the preservation and improvement of their quality. However, the opposite is often observed: innovations are declared as a way to facilitate teaching and learning, but not by optimizing them and new ways, but by emasculating, primitivizing and reducing the level of requirements for the final result. The essence of the inclusive model of additional education lies in the fact that additional education is considered as a highly individualized (personalized) sphere of transferring and mastering general cultural and educational and professional competencies, within which the teacher is able and obliged to encourage students to comprehend and realize themselves as a subject of culture, a person among other people. Realizing and accepting their own characteristics and needs, as well as the needs and differences of other people, realizing their values and meanings, it is important for the teacher and students to strive for themselves and help others to achieve a state of self-fulfillment, a harmonious combination of personal and social interests, self-actualization and self-realization, to teach others and/or learn from others to live, fulfilling their functions as a subject of culture.Conclusion. The inclusive doctrine is being improved, it learns and teaches to distinguish between the tasks of including a person in the community, supporting his becoming a subject of culture, and the tasks of subordinating a person and his life to the interests of society, absorption of a person by society, even and especially for the sake of imaginary "sustainable development". A modern person can and should be aware of and study the meanings and meanings of what surrounds him, what is offered to him as an "innovation" or "model of a future need", this ability is transmitted and formed in dialogue with significant others, including teachers.

STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS OF PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP SUPPORT IN THE SPHERE OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT

The article analyzed directions and measures for the successful development of public-private partnership. After all, by creating and encouraging partnership relations, the state replenishes the arsenal of effective management methods, transferring the functions of managing its property to the private sector, which, in turn, using state assets and guarantees, brings organizational experience, knowledge, production know-how, makes investments, minimizes business risks. Currently, the sphere of partnership relations extends to solving tasks of entrepreneurship development, activation of innovative activities, organization of clusters of commodity producers. In addition, it is proposed to add to the already existing list the following directions and measures for the successful development of public-private partnership in the innovative sphere of Ukraine: 1) Inclusion of new industries in the database of public-private partnership, such as: "Scientific research" and "Innovative infrastructure" , 2) Development of development programs and regulatory documents regarding public-private partnership in the innovation system based on international experience. Keywords: public-private partnerships, partnership relations, private sector, transnational companies, public-private partnership model, private partner, state partner, innovative development.

Current Legal Aspects of Information Security of Innovative Activities

Problem setting. It should be agreed that the primary task of the organization of information provision of innovative activity is the formation of information resources, the composition of which should be oriented towards the establishment of information links between participants (subjects) of the innovation sphere, which carry out activities at all stages of the innovation process, in order to ensure mutual relations the connection between demand and supply of innovative products of national production. Moreover, information provision should be oriented towards the creation of effective means of access to information resources and their optimal management from the birth of an idea to the commercialization of the results of innovative activity. In today’s conditions, the issue of information support for innovative activities is gaining considerable relevance, taking into account modern trends in the introduction and use of the latest information technologies (resources). Analysis of recent researches and publications. The issue of ensuring the innovation process and innovative activity (including information) was considered in the works of many scientists. Thus, S.V. Hlibko considered the issue of functional support of the innovation process. The study of the technology transfer mechanism and its implementation in the innovation process was conducted by O.V. Rozghon.In addition, Yu. V. Pasmor considered the problems of information provision of innovations. However, today there is not a large number of scientific studies that would comprehensively cover the issue of information provision of innovative activities, therefore this topic is relevant and requires additional research. Target of the research is to study the current legal aspects of information support of the innovation process, including the study of issues of formation and use of information resources in the field of innovation activity. Article’s main body. In the scientific work, some relevant legal aspects of information provision of innovative activities are investigated. The article analyzes the norms of the current regulation of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine «About the Ukrainian Research Information System», the main purpose of which is the collection, formation, preservation, verification of data and information in the field of scientific and scientific and technical activities, ensuring access to them and their use as well as automation of procedures and processes of interaction between subjects and users of the system. It has been established that the Ukrainian Research Information System functions on the more important principles of scientificity, humanism, democracy, organic combination of educational, scientific and innovative activities. It is through the implementation of the specified principles, including the principle of combining educational, scientific and innovative activities, that it is possible to ensure sustainable innovative development of the national economy. It is noted that the creation of the Ukrainian Research Information System is an example of the implementation of the best European and global practices and aims to stimulate the development of scientific, scientific and technical and innovative spheres. Conclusions and prospects for the development. As a result of consideration of current legal issues of information support of innovative activity, in particular the process of legislative implementation and the peculiarities of the functioning of the Ukrainian Research Information System, it is appropriate to draw a conclusion regarding the importance of this system for the proper implementation of scientific, scientific and technical, innovative activities and infrastructural support of the innovative process. In addition, it should be emphasized that the information infrastructure should ensure the formation and implementation of new information resources and appropriate access to them by users. Therefore, the main task of the process of organizing the information support of innovative activity should be the formation of innovative resources. That is, the effectiveness of innovative activity must be ensured with the help of appropriate resources (including information) and determined precisely by the level of appropriate information support. In addition, the development of scientific, scientific-technical and innovative activities requires the availability of a modern and up-to-date information base.

A THEORETICAL MODEL OF EMPATHIC INTERACTION BETWEEN A PSYCHOLOGIST AND A CLIENT: A CYCLICAL-ACTION APPROACH

The interdisciplinary study is devoted to the elucidation of the author's concept of the deed integral, developmentally enriched and dialogically directed empathic interaction of a psychologist with clients of different ages, gender, mental experience, social status and mental organization of the individual self. The proposed concept was created, on the one hand, through a reflexive reconstruction of the content of the psychological theory of empathy known in Ukraine and abroad (L.P. Zhuravlyova, 2007), when it is step-by-step achieved, scenario-worked out and practically realized, mutual complementation of the developmental functioning of various types, levels and stages of the empathic process, resources, channels and means of empathic attitudes-relationships and individual psychological features of empathy of each participant in dialogic contact in the "psychologist-client" system, on the other hand - due to the use of the latest methodological optics of post-non-classical rationality, namely the author's cyclical-action approach with its basic principles (cyclicity, synergy, action, metasystem), a number of regularities and norms of cognitive thinking activity. Moreover, the universal tool for implementing research consciousness into life, which establishes the epistemological core of the concept advocated here, is a m e n t a l s c h e m e built according to the principle of quaternity in the context of the broad intellectual possibilities of the innovative sphere of professional methodologization (A.V. Furman, 2005, 2016). The starting idea in this case was the axiomatic statement that the process cycle of the current course of empathy is a separate, original act on the part of the individual. Taking into account the goal, task and subject field of this study, it is proved that: firstly, the most effective technology of collaborative psycho-spiritual filling of interpersonal relationships is modular-developmental interaction, which is first subject to a reflexive-action scripting, and then to a full-fledged existential implementation; secondly, the stages of deployment of personified empathic interaction can not only be justified on the basis of dominant processes (affective, cognitive, conative), but also more methodologically justified on the basis of the logic-canonical structure of the act (situation, motivation, action, afteraction); thirdly, the empathic dialogic cycle is best consciously organized by a practical psychologist while working with a client as a four-periodized and step-by-step (procedural) detailed act of personal empathy, which includes the alternating dominance of natural, affective-cognitive, conative-active and reflective types of empathy; fourthly, the psychologist's practical use of the action-reflective thinking scheme of the scenario confirmed the empirical effectiveness in his individual work with students of secondary and higher education, in particular with those who have special needs or are characterized by problematic behavior.

ANALYSIS OF STATE SUPPORT MEASURES FOR SMALL BUSINESS IN MODERN CONDITIONS

The modernization of Russia implies a qualitative breakthrough in the small business sector, using new technologies and developing the innovation sphere. The creation of a developed small business can solve many modern Russian problems, so the state should develop small businesses and, if necessary, support them. The issues of the need to support small and medium-sized enterprises became especially acute during the coronavirus pandemic and continue to be relevant both abroad and in Russia. The first part considers the share of small enterprises in the overall structure of enterprises in world practice, as well as general measures to support this category of enterprises. The second part is devoted to the analysis of support measures provided in connection with COVID-19 in developing and developed countries of the world. Different countries offer their own support measures, the analysis and implementation of which can help other countries to fight the crisis. The study of domestic and foreign experience in providing support to small and medium-sized businesses made it possible to identify general and private forms of assistance. The authors concluded that support measures for all countries are aimed at reducing the tax burden and concessional lending.

Our paper develops theoretical and methodological principles of grounding assessing the dominant trends in intersectoral academic research related linked to the main tools and instruments of funding innovations in business companies. We employ the analytical approach as well as the two-stage bibliometric analysis of scientific articles published in the past 80 years and indexed in Scopus abstract and citation database which has been selected for its clarity, coverage, as well as its scope. In addition, we employ the outcomes of analytical analysis conducted using with the help of Google Trends tool. This approach described above allowed allows us to compare the peak periods for the changing the search queries of main concepts on this problem with the periods of the most significant events in the innovation sphere and financial policy. Moreover, we apply the VOSViewer software for identifying the dominant trends in intersectoral research related to funding innovation of business companies, as well as for finding out which instruments for the implementation of the financial policy implementation are more relevant for academics and scholars.Our results from the first stage demonstrate that the researchers’ focus on funding innovation of business companies and financial regulation was targeted on such topics as tax, monetary, budget, and investment instruments. Additionally, our results from the second stage additionally helped us to determine the dominant trends in intersectoral research connected to each group of the identified instruments. Thence, our findings contributed to the clustering of the theory of funding innovation of business companies by structure and main instruments. These results can be useful for by the multidisciplinary scientists, entrepreneurs, investors, innovators, as well as other relevant stakeholders and practitioners in making their everyday decisions on funding innovations in business companies.
