Penerapan Laporan Laba/Rugi Segmen Sebagai Alat Bantu Untuk Pengendalian Biaya

This research was conducted in the company "X" which is a company with more than one type of business activity. This research was conducted to determine how the application of the segment income statement using the contribution approach. The method used in this research is quantitative method with a case study approach, and data collection techniques using interview techniques and documentation. The segment profit / loss statement applied in this study contains the division segment profit / loss statement, the product line segment income statement, and the rental income segment report from the tenants. After the research is carried out, the segment income statement contains information that shows a number of losses on a particular product. This is because the information in the income statement prepared by the company is not detailed so that the costs incurred in the previous period were out of control.

Análisis de información y factores de desempeño ambiental y de economía circular en empresas peruanas

Peruvian companies with significant sustainability impact have a significant development in their environmental information. Based on this, this research aims to analyze the level of disclosure of environmental performance information according to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and circular economy (CE) practices. Similarly, determine its relationship with the size and business sector for those companies that published their sustainability report, and analyze the results within the framework of legitimacy and institutional theories. A quantitative investigation was carried out by means of a content analysis of the sustainability reports to determine the indices of the level of disclosure of said information, description and relationship of the variables indicated. This level of environmental disclosure is not met in all aspects of GRI. In fact, the results indicated greater compliance in the dissemination of environmental waste management, water, transport and regulatory compliance indicators, an institutional influence by type of business activity was observed. On the other hand, CE practices also did not show a high degree of disclosure, while input consumption reduction and waste management practices showed greater disclosure. The business sector presented a relationship with the level of environmental information, however, neither the size nor the sector of the companies were related to the CE information.

Problems of Forming Psychological and Management Competence of Network Leaders in MLM

This article is a theoretical study of problems related to the formation of psychological competence of network leaders regarding management interaction and optimization of the management process in modern Ukrainian network marketing companies (MLM) in order to achieve maximum efficiency of management in networks under market economy. In this article authors went over the main requirements for founders (leaders) regarding their ability to lead. It is stated that at the start the leaders of MLM companies require neither in-depth knowledge nor special qualifications in order to work, as they are able to learn while working. However, as the company grows and the leaders gather their team of employees, requirements for a leader’s both professional and psychological competence change. This study indicates that it is beneficial for the company if leaders not only study and learn themselves but teach their team as well.The authors state that there are a number of problems in the formation of psychological and managerial competences of MLM leaders and managers. This mainly refers to management interaction and optimization of the management process in modern Ukrainian network marketing companies. A significant part of these problems is based on the specifics of network marketing as a type of business activity in the domestic field. Another part is a consequence of the unpreparedness of MLM leaders and managers for change and development, and their overall resistance to innovation, despite a significant amount of new opportunities (webinars, Internet conferences, online courses and trainings, etc.) that appeared with the development of public communications, and which are also, unfortunately, not fully used and not by all network leaders.Solving those problems, at least partially, will ensure growth in both professional and psychological competences, which, in turn, would be beneficial for the further development and improvement of MLM companies in Ukraine.

Company Mobility in the Modern Economy

While the modern economy demonstrates an increase in company mobility, neither economists nor company managers pay due attention to this developing socio-economic phenomenon. Therefore, we analysed how new organisations enter the market of companies and old enterprises leave it after losing their viability, noting the specific features of these processes. We examined the market of companies in Russia in general and in the Federal Districts of the Russian Federation in particular. We used the data from 1 January 2001 to 1 January 2020 published in the Statistical Register of Organisations of Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat). The research methodology includes synthesis, analysis, comparison methods, and systemic-structural approach. The obtained results showed that, since 2016, the share of officially liquidated companies in the Russian Federation and most of its regions exceeds the birth rate of organisations. This is inextricably linked to the worsening economic situation in Russia, including the business environment. We noted that privately owned companies and organisations with joint Russian and foreign ownership have the highest turnover. The average annual turnover of organisations in Russia amounted to 16.8% in the period 2001–2019. Among the federal districts of the Russian Federation, organisations of the Siberian and Ural Federal Districts have demonstrated the greatest dynamics of the market of companies over the 19-year period (18.1 % and 17.4 %, respectively). Corresponding changes have taken place in the structure of organisations in the market of Russian companies. The share of companies providing various services has sharply increased, including transport and communication companies, and real estate organisations. New organisations with an established business reputation are mostly registered in the regions with higher competitive immunity, characterised by a favourable business environment for small- and medium-sized enterprises. The research results can be used by authorities for managing the spatial development of territories, and determining the support for certain types of business activities in a particular region or municipality.

ІННОВАЦІЇ ЯК СКЛАДОВА ФОРМУВАННЯ ПРОДОВОЛЬЧОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ УКРАЇНИ

The article is devoted to arguing the importance of innovations in the formation of food security in Ukraine and the world. The main indicators of the transformation of the agricultural sector of the food sphere in the direction of innovations are considered. Risks for the food security of Ukraine and the world caused by demography, shortage of natural resources, food waste, pandemic, climate change and the full-scale military invasion of russia on Ukrainian lands are identified. The influence of the military actions of the russian federation on the agricultural sector of Ukraine and its consequences on the food security of the states, which are import-dependent on Ukrainian products, are analyzed. The development of the agricultural sector based on smart agricultural innovations and in the direction of organic production is substantiated. The Ukrainian agri-food sector in modern conditions is not only a type of business activity in the agricultural sector but is an area of global social responsibility. Innovative approaches and technologies, new quality of work, innovative developments and inclusive solutions will reduce costs, and increase productivity and profitability of agricultural production, which will strengthen not only the food security of Ukraine but also economic security. The implementation of innovations in the available agricultural resource potential of Ukraine will provide opportunities to increase the volume of production and export of agricultural products. Innovations in the agricultural sector should be aimed at fulfilling the goals of sustainable development and be directed to highly productive farming, ensuring its environmental sustainability. To speed up the development of agricultural innovations in Ukraine, the article proposes to establish cooperation with the international community for the exchange of experience and the development of joint innovative projects in agri-food production. The introduction of innovations in the agricultural sector will ensure its balanced and highly productive development, which will contribute to strengthening food security, environmental friendliness, and humanization.

ПРОБЛЕМИ РОЗВИТКУ РИНКУ ПОДАТКОВОГО КОНСУЛЬТУВАННЯ В УКРАЇНІ У СУЧАСНИХ РЕАЛІЯХ

Demand in the consular market is directly dependent on the economic situation in the country. The constant changes made by the state in tax legislation, the maintenance of pressure on business by the tax authorities, as well as the improvement of fiscal supervision lead to an increase in demand for the services of tax consultants. The need for business consulting is growing very rapidly, tax consulting is becoming an increasingly popular service among taxpayers. Tax consulting allows you to get strategies developed by specialists that can reduce, without violating the law, the totality of tax payments, reduce the risks of incorrect and late tax assessment and payment, protect yourself from damages associated with penalties for tax violations. At the present stage, without this process, the normal functioning of various types of business activities is almost impossible. But there are many obstacles to the development of the market of tax consulting. Demand for tax consultants is increasing, but the direction of services is changing due to the focus of tax authorities to reduce the optimization of business tax payments. Even its formation has certain problematic aspects, which are due to the lack of previous experience of this type of activity, as well as the imperfection of the current organizational, economic and legal mechanism of this new type of consulting for Ukraine. The article includes consideration of features and problematic aspects on the way to the development of the tax consulting market in modern realities, determination of the need to develop the institute of tax consulting in Ukraine on the basis of generalization of theoretical principles of its functioning. The essence of the concept of "tax consulting", its role in the tax system of the state is highlighted. The reasons for the underdevelopment of the tax consulting market in Ukraine are analyzed. The advantages of using consulting services in the field of taxation for taxpayers are highlighted. The necessity of state regulation of the market of tax consulting services in Ukraine on the basis of fixing the legislative norms of its functioning, determining the place, role, rights and responsibilities of tax consultants in the system of tax relations is substantiated.

DIGITALIZATION OF ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITY

The article considers a number of issues related to the concept of digitalization of entrepreneurial activity, its content, advantages and disadvantages, problems of its perception and implementation in domestic enterprises. The analysis is based on the premise that digitalization, covering all areas of the economy and business, contributes to the establishment of internal and external relations and, ultimately, to increase company productivity and business efficiency. Based on a comparative analysis of the definitions of digitalization, the following interpretation of this term is proposed: “digitalization of entrepreneurship” is a process of business transformation that involves the use of digital technologies to optimize business processes, increase company productivity and improve customer experience. Successful implementation of digitalization requires a proper understanding of these processes by the management of the enterprise. Rapid changes in the external environment in the context of globalization are forcing us to adapt to new digital innovations. Business owners should understand that in order to be competitive in today's environment it is necessary to implement new approaches to doing business and develop new products using digital channels of the enterprise. Digitalization helps to generate new business ideas, increases creativity and innovative approaches to their activities. A component of the digitalization process is to meet the needs of retailers who are constantly changing and interacting with new technologies, seeking to quickly and comfortably meet their own needs. The advantages and disadvantages of digitalization are generalized and grouped. It is noted that the benefits are not guaranteed, and in case of failure may not appear. The key role is played by the qualification of staff: the availability of highly qualified personnel is a necessary condition for successful digitalization, so the appropriate staffing is one of the difficulties faced by the company in the implementation of digitalization processes. Digitalization of entrepreneurship is an innovative creative process, so there can be no standard instructions for its implementation. However, it can be argued that the key to its successful implementation is corporate culture and innovation in activities at all levels of the enterprise in order to implement operational changes. The digitalization of the enterprise will promote the development of new types of business activities, the formation of a new quality of economic relations, the disclosure of intellectual and creative potential of all employees. This is especially important to increase the competitiveness of the enterprise.

Differentiation of Companies’ Environmental Initiatives in the Light of the Research Results

<p>Theoretical background: The deteriorating condition of the natural environment, as a result of human activity, is one of the global problems that contemporary business entities must face. Companies in their attempts to comply with principles of environmental protection undertake activities aimed at better utilization of resources, production materials or improved efficiency. Such endeavours include the elimination of pollution, recycling of materials, reduction of waste generated, reduction of fuels and energy consumption, and limiting water usage. This contributes to improving corporate economic performance, thus, making production more efficient, more economical and safer.</p><p>Purpose of the article: The purpose of this article is to identify the company’s behavior with regard to environmental protection issues. The study tests the research hypothesis that the companies’ characteristics (i.e. company size, type of activity – production/non production, the scale of activity – local and regional, national, international) are factors that significantly differentiate the involvement of companies in activities for the environmental protection.</p><p>Research methods: The empirical analysis is based on primary data from 68 companies. It was carried out using the Mann–Whitney U test, chi-square independence test, and the correspondence analysis. The strength of the examined relationships was expressed by the V-Cramer coefficient.</p><p>Main findings: The research showed that the level of implementation of environmental initiatives depended on both the type of business activity and the size of the company. In the opinion of the surveyed entities, the implementation of pro-environmental activities aims at improving the company’s image and, to a lesser extent, at obtaining specific economic benefits. Large companies were often involved in the implementation of pro-environmental activities more than small and medium-sized entities. Production entities were more involved in it, compared to non-production companies.</p>

Application of maqâṣid al-sharî’ah in murâbahah contract in sharia financial institutions

The development of the Islamic finance industry, especially Islamic banking, demands product innovation. Based on its business activities, Islamic banking implements three types of business activities, there are fundraising, distribution, and banking service activities. The Financing products that are widely used are Murâbahah contracts. The implementation of Murâbahah in Lembaga Keuangan Syariah (LKS) has been modified, so that the sharia signs and spirits are needed to remain in the sharia corridor. This type of research is library research with normative juridical methods. The results showed that Maqâṣid al-syarî'ah is an important component in Islamic financial institutions. Because, without the implementation of Maqâṣid al-syarî'ah in the development system of Islamic financial institutions, muamalah products are developed, banking and financial regulations will be rigid and static, consequently Islamic banking and financial institutions will be difficult to develop.

Improving the taxation system in the field of transport services

Entrepreneurship is one of the most important areas of the economy. However, this is not a specific type of economic activity, but a specific direction of production. It should be noted that entrepreneurship consists of many types of economic activities that are fundamentally different from each other. Every day there are more and more new types of business activities. Sometimes in the practice of entrepreneurship, it would seem that the same types of production activities in analytical research should be evaluated by different criteria. So as a specific example, you can take transport services. here, when using passenger transport as a criterion, which is the object of research, is the seat, and for trucks-the number of cars. But both of these criteria are subject to extensive analytical research. This analysis should be performed by economists with an industry focus. With this in mind, it should be noted that industry criteria for the production sectors of the economy are necessary when determining taxable amounts.

The dynamics of structural shifts in regional economies amid the advent of convergent technologies

Subject. The article studies economic growth rates by quantifying structural shifts in the economy, and analyzes the relationship of their intensity. Objectives. The study quantifies the dynamics of structural shifts in the region's economy and identifies the correlation of economic development and convergent technologies in Russia nationally and regionally. The study is to conclude on the efficiency of economic processes from geographical perspectives. Methods. We conduct the structural-dynamic analysis of economic systems. To quantify structural shifts, we apply the Ryabtsev index and Gatev index to identify the structural shifts by their intensity and efficiency. The empirical framework includes statistical data on gross value added broken down by sector, types of ICT costs for 2005–2019. Gross value added spreads across 15 types of business activities. ICT costs comprise six types. Results. We assessed the dynamics of the Ryabtsev index and Gatev index by sector and their gross value added in Russia and some regions. The article analyzed the comparability of structural shifts in the economy and ICT costs. Conclusions and Relevance. We quantified the structural shifts in sectors of gross value added and discovered that the structural shifts are inconsistent nationally and regionally. We also assess the correlation of the structural dynamics in the economy and ICT.

Impact of the cargo customs complex efficiency on the supply chain reliability

Creating supply chain involving the customs infrastructure facilities is an urgent topic when shipping cargo internationally. The most in demand are cargo customs complexes, which have in their structure customs storerooms, warehouses of temporary storage, perform freight-forwarding, and customs-brokerage and other functions that are necessary to perform foreign economic activity. Also there are subdivisions of customs authorities on their territory. This type of business activity provides the business entities with the comprehensive service and enables them to reduce the time spent moving to each of the necessary control services or logistics facilities when moving cargoes in different customs regimes. Therefore, it is proposed to apply the concept of logistics chain reliability with a freight customs complex as its element. The latter will take into account business entities` financial and time expenditures with non-productive timing at the different transition stages of material flow, and will enable to optimize information flows. The paper considers the procedure of placing imported goods in a temporary storage warehouse. It is proposed the regulation methodology for individual service stages provided by a freight customs complex. The generalized algorithm for constructing a reliability model of a freight customs complex`s operation is offered allowing to determine the reliability level of each individual element in a logistics chain.

Digital Entrepreneurship and its Role in Innovation Systems: A Systematic Literature Review as a Basis for Future Research Avenues for Sustainable Transitions

Digital entrepreneurship is an essential driver within the innovation system. It changes the structure, aims, and networking mechanisms of the overall business system and, ultimately, affects the various levels and dimensions of the innovation system. Bringing inevitable changes to the innovation system, digital technologies may not only provide new business opportunities but also be disruptive and cause new vulnerabilities. In order to gain a rigorous understanding of the hybrid concept of digital entrepreneurship and its role within the transformation of the innovation system, we conducted a systematic literature review. The results of 52 core papers allow for the identification of key categories of digital entrepreneurship and also its differentiation from other types of business activities. The analysis leads to the distinction of the determinants of digital entrepreneurship within three core dimensions of the innovation system, which encompass the entrepreneur (including, e.g., behavioral, competence. and mentality patterns, as well as personal outcomes and consequences of entrepreneurial activity), the entrepreneurial process (including activities that concern digitalization in organizational management processes, transformations within strategic and operational activities, and digital start-up establishment), and its relevant ecosystem (which encompasses, among others, the influence that external infrastructure and institutions have on digital entrepreneurship development). The systematization of the existing literature is highly relevant for future research that aims to understand the interrelations between the transformation of entrepreneurial structures within innovation systems as well as the socioeconomic system in general. Such understanding requires further extended research in fields related to method, content, and theory.

METROPOLIES OF LODZY AND LVIV: FEATURES OF FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT

Over the last 25–30 years, major cities and surrounding areas have undergone significant changes in socio-economic and spatial structure. As a result of radical restructuring, traditional industries have disappeared and are being gradually replaced by new types of business activity, especially in the services sector, with increasing processes of suburbanization and development of functions belonging to the IV sector of the economy.The purpose of the article is to determine the actual scale of urban transformations of large cities and their environment in terms of performed «new» functions, their delineation for the purpose of further development of the territory in the context of new processes. The tasks are solved: clarification of the concepts of metropolis, metropolitan space, «metropolitan» functions; the selection of transformation analysis and evaluation criteria for setting the boundaries and scale of change; characteristics of the spatial structures of Lodz and Lviv as metropolitan formations; determining the role of metropolitan functions in ongoing processes; substantiation of the ways of using the experience of the Lodz metropolis to the formation and development of the metropolitan space of Lviv.An analysis of the current theoretical developments and practical activities at forcing the development of large cities in the EU countries confirms that the priority for the development of modern cities with metropolitan functions is based on effective use of human potential and ensuring the quality of inhabitants life. At the same time, competition for a highly intellectual person and intellectual resources capable of generating innovations and serving as an impetus for the development of cities and regions becomes crucial. A new trend in urban development is the humanization of cities - the ones must first and foremost be comfortable for life, work and personal development, comply with the requirements to create the relevant conditions for self-realization and unlocking creative potential and maintaining health.A comparative analysis of Lviv and the Polish city of Lodz is carried out regarding new features and approaches to the formation of metropolitan spaces. Search for opportunities to apply the Polish experience to the practice of Ukraine. Attention is focused, among other things, on the «capital» functions of the selected cities. Despite certain challenges and barriers, Lviv has a strong enough potential to become a leading, creative hub in the fields of culture, science and innovation economy, a key element of Ukraine's European future.

Fuzzy model estimation of the risk factors impact on the target of promotion of the software product

ABSTRACT This article studies the application of fuzzy logic to the risk analysis of a new software product development and marketing in specific case of a small size IT company. Identification and analysis of external and internal risk factors show that this type of business activity could be evaluated as high-risk enterprise. So, the purpose of the paper is to develop robust method to evaluate probability of occurrence of major risk events and their impact on the company financial health. The fuzzy logic is used to estimate degrees of threat of each relevant risk factor due to lack of reliable statistical data. The novelty of proposed approach is the inclusion into the model the risk event time.

ІНДИВІДУАЛЬНО-ПСИХОЛОГІЧНІ ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ОСІБ, ЯКІ ЗАЙМАЮТЬСЯ СОЦІАЛЬНИМ ПІДПРИЄМНИЦТВОМ

The results of empirical research devoted to the study of individual psychological characteristics of individuals engaged in social entrepreneurship in Ukraine are considered in this article. Social entrepreneurship is a new area of practice that is developing rapidly but is still insufficiently studied in psychology. Foreign research projects compare social entrepreneurs’ personal traits with the ones of traditional entrepreneurs, members of the general public, employees in the same area of activity, volunteers, etc. There are such personal traits of social entrepreneurs that have a higher level of development (compared to others) as empathy, willingness to take risks and to cooperate and develop social networks, creativity, need for autonomy and independence, optimism, trust in others, belief in positive social changes, ability to cope with obstacles on their way to social mission implementation. Most researchers emphasize the developed sense of social responsibility, moral obligations towards others, self-sacrifice of social entrepreneurs. As a result of the empirical research of individual psychological characteristics of individuals engaged in social and traditional entrepreneurship in Ukraine psychological particularities within each group of entrepreneurs have been determined. A psychological portrait of social entrepreneur has been compiled based on the obtained empirical data: an active, focused on the external world, intent on reflection and introspection, receptive to obtain new knowledge, hardworking, creative, relatively emotionally stable, moderately conformable and ambitious individual, which is characterized by a high level of empathy and an internal locus of control, which can work successfully both as a team member and independently, which can adequately estimate their capabilities and make right decisions in situations of uncertainty and risk. The differences between groups of traditional and social entrepreneurs in such factors as «Openness» according to the Big 5 Personality Traits, «Сreative tendency», «Calculated risk-taking», «Internal locus of control» according to the General measure of Enterprising Tendency (GET) test, as well as according to the Balanced Emotional Empathy Test have been detected. Based on these findings one can conclude that a phenomenon of social entrepreneurship is a dynamic process that meets the urgent needs of society, corresponds to individual motives and is determined by the specifics of professional tasks we solve, and therefore by the type of business activity in general.
