REGIONAL AND INDUSTRIAL RESTRUCTURING OF INVESTMENT FLOWS AS A FACTOR OF STRENGTHENING THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE URAL’S ECONOMY

Размер файла52-70 Размер файла  336.88 KB Размер файла Full text

The article considers the state of the economy and investment complex of the Urals. It reveals the persistence of the underinvestment in the macroregion economy, which causes the level of depreciation of fixed assets exceeding the average Russian level. The author’s methodology for analyzing the investment activity of the Ural business has been developed, based on a “field” study of changes in the dynamics of the implementation of investment projects in industry and agriculture. A comparative analysis of regional and sectoral restructuring of investment flows has made it possible to identify the main features of the restoration and increase of investment activity in the Urals. The hypothesis about the beginning of an investment cycle based on the accumulation of industrial capital has received well-grounded confirmation.

Keywords: state support, investment project, investor, industry, agriculture, the economy of the Urals.

Размер файла66-91 Размер файла  685.52 KB Размер файла Full text

Business needs to seek and use best practices in the field of improving organizational efficiency, one of which is the headcount management. The purpose of the study is to develop methodological approaches to headcount management that ensure optimal and efficient work of personnel, taking into account the goals and objectives facing the company. The main research method is the analysis and generalization of best practices in the field of personnel management, the study of the experience of successful companies conducting optimization. The analysis showed that the best option for assessing the optimal number of employees, taking into account current market conditions, development strategy and long– term plans, is the use of long-term standards. The proposed methodological approaches can be used to bring the number of personnel to an optimal state, reduce costs, and increase organizational efficiency in any commercial organization on condition that they are adapted to the specific features of the company, industry, and market situation.

Keywords: headcount, headcount optimization, labor productivity, headcount standards, headcount model.

Размер файла92-105 Размер файла  352.73 KB Размер файла Full text

The aim of the study is to identify the perception of Russians regarding the factors that determine health and to assess the relationship between individual characteristics and this perception. The research is based on the International Social Survey Program (ISSP), Health and Health Care module, 2021. Logistic regression models were constructed, where the dependent variables included people’s perception of environmental conditions, poverty, genetics, and behavior as determinants of health. It has been established that the environment is perceived as the most important factor for Russians, while the perception of other factors as causes of poor health is recognized as less significant. People with different sociodemographic and economic characteristics have different views on health factors, which is partly explained by personal experience; for example, people with low incomes are more likely to recognize poverty as a health factor.

Keywords: public opinion, health perception, social health determinants, International Social Survey Program (ISSP), Russia.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF OBJECTIVES IN STRATEGIC PLANNING DOCUMENTS IN THE CULTURAL DOMAIN

Размер файла47-65 Размер файла  327.72 KB Размер файла Full text

The article explores the objectives outlined in strategic planning documents and program-based management frameworks within the cultural sector. It examines inconsistencies between the national development objectives, the Integrated action plan, and the objectives of government programs related to culture. With regard to the Integrated action plan, the article substantiates the existence of a two-tiered objective structure, distinguishing between strategic and operational objectives, and investigates how these objectives are aligned. The author introduces an alignment matrix for objectives and activities, which enables an assessment of consistency at different levels. The study identifies cases where strategic planning logic in the cultural sector is disrupted, such as replacing strategic objectives with operational ones or incorporating new strategic objectives into the Integrated action plan that were not previously included in sectoral strategic documents. The misalignment of objectives in the cultural sector creates risks for achieving both sectoral development priorities and national objectives. These inconsistencies negatively impact public administration performance metrics and highlight the need to reconsider the structure of the Integrated action plan and update approaches to objective-setting. The quality of objective-setting, the realism of the defined objectives, and the degree of their alignment directly affect the actual implementation of public cultural policy and the overall functioning of the cultural sector.

Keywords: strategic planning, program-based management, cultural sector, national development objectives, government programs, strategic objectives, alignment matrix, performance metrics, cultural economics, objective alignment.
