Authors: Шестакова Анна Валеріївна , Ткачук В’ячеслав Олександрович , Мельник Тетяна Юріївна , Травін Віталій Вікторович
Published: December 2022

У статті обґрунтовуються катастрофічні наслідки від військового вторгнення рф в Україну, що зумовило виникнення промислової кризи у світі. Аргументується необхідність якнайшвидшого відновлення аграрного сектору економіки, зокрема втрачених або зруйнованих ланцюгів постачання сільськогосподарської продукції в період воєнних дій, насамперед шляхом впровадження цифрових можливостей у бізнес-процеси агропідприємств. Робота аграріїв на землі фактично під прольотами ракет і винищувачів над головами із тривалими затримками, пов’язаними з попередньою перевіркою ґрунтів саперами, не могла не позначитися на експорті продукції підприємств агросфери. Хоча ситуація з експортом продовольчих культур до початку війни з рф виглядала досить оптимістично: в попередньому році було зібрано рекордний врожай пшениці, істотно зросли обсяги збору кукурудзи, очікувалися позитивні прогнози врожаю продовольчих культур у наступні періоди. У той же час авторами констатується, що запровадження карантинних заходів у зв’язку зі світовою пандемією не зумовило значний негативний вплив на стан аграрного сектору економіки України. Це пояснюється специфікою роботи аграрних підприємств, яка провадиться переважно на сільськогосподарських угіддях, що дозволило агробізнесу зменшити додаткові витрати для дотримання нових обов’язкових санітарних вимог. Разом із тим світова пандемія посприяла пришвидшенню процесів цифровізації в аграрному секторі за рахунок введення та щоденного використання сільськогосподарськими підприємствами внутрішнього електронного документообігу, проведення нарад і зустрічей за допомогою онлайн-платформ для відеоконференцій, корпоративних порталів та ін. До того ж агрохолдинги змогли швидко адаптуватися до нових умов праці завдяки активному впровадженню в бізнес-процеси ще до поширення світової пандемії електронних маркувань на аграрних виробництвах, камер, моніторів, датчиків, GPS-трекерів, безпілотних літальних апаратів. За результатами проведеного дослідження обґрунтовується думка, що за потужної підтримки розвитку цифрових можливостей агробізнесу надалі можна буде поліпшувати процес посівної на сільськогосподарських угіддях, що не зазнали руйнувань під час воєнних дій, та в тих регіонах, де не була паралізована логістика постачання насіння. У підсумку виникають підстави говорити саме про розвиток цифрового фермерства як способу ведення сільського господарства з використанням технологій, необхідних для інтеграції фінансових і польових записів для подальшого комплексного управління діяльністю ферми. Однак суттєво він буде залежати від готовності фермерів до комплексної цифровізації господарської діяльності.

Authors: Жалінська Ірина Володимирівна
Published: December 2022

Недостатня увага до питань управління якістю готельних послуг в Україні, з одного боку, та об’єктивна необхідність повноцінного входження на європейський ринок шляхом імплементації відповідних вимог щодо рівня якості послуг, з другого боку, роблять актуальними дослідження щодо наявних підходів до управління якістю послуг у засобах розміщення. У статті окреслено важливі аспекти управління якістю готельних послуг, а саме: наявні зручності, взаємодія персоналу та споживача, технології надання послуги, а також ступінь задоволення клієнта. Запропоновано класифікацію підходів до управління якістю готельних послуг, зазначено їх відмітні риси. Для операційного підходу характерним є орієнтація на належне виконання технологічних процесів надання послуг і не передбачає участі споживача. Визначено, що зараз регуляторна база управління якістю готельних послуг в Україні найчастіше орієнтується на операційний підхід, проте подальший розвиток передбачає переорієнтацію на потреби споживача. В споживчому підході базовим є сприйняття послуги споживачем. Зазначено, що наявні методологічні підходи за участі споживача є доволі різноманітні. Як приклад наведено коротку характеристику методів the Service Quality Model та the Service Performance Model. Характерною особливістю комплексного підходу вказано вбудовані в систему управління підприємством вимоги якості. У межах такого підходу наведено декілька практичних інструментів, а саме: інструмент стратегічного менеджменту Balanced Scorecard (BSC), який надає можливість його імплементації до процесів управління якістю; Customer Relationship Management (CRM), який створює можливість постійного моніторингу різноманітних аспектів взаємодії зі споживачами та їх сприйняття послуги; премії в галузі якості, вимоги яких слугують своєрідним набором загальновизнаних орієнтирів у досягненні високої якості послуг; та документовані системи якості, зокрема системи управління якістю ISO, найбільш значущим аспектом яких є реалізація підходу безперервного поліпшення якості. Визначено, що кожен підхід володіє певними характерними особливостями та відображає різні аспекти діяльності готелів.

Descriptive analysis using Likert scale-based questions was used in reviewing evaluations related to this study.  The dyad perspective, which includes the view of microfinance institutions and higher education institutions, is needed in research to find out and compare awareness and perceptions between the two research objects related to knowledge about Sharia Governance.
 
Findings:  Based on the studies that have been carried out, it can be concluded that there is still a lack of knowledge, information, and insight from students related to the implementation of Sharia governance compared to Microfinance Institutions.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: We suggest for students to increase the information gap between students. Universities can also review the curriculum related to special courses that explain sharia governance.
 
Originality/value: The research focusing on the dyadic perspectives of the implementation of shariah governance according to Islamic Microfinance Institutions and Higher Education Institutions in Indonesia.

Derivative Instruments on Emission Allowances: factors Influencing Disclosure in Portuguese Companies
Authors: Monteiro Sónia , Lemos Kátia , Ribeiro Verónica , Florindo Ana
Published: December 2022

Purpose: This article aims to analyze the degree of disclosure of information on Derivative instruments on Emission Allowances, analyzing the degree of compliance with the underlying accounting regulations, and their determinants factors.
 
Theoretical framework: With the evolution of the European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS), which foresees that the emission licenses will no longer be allocated free of charge and will be negotiated at auction, it is expected that there will be an increase in the trading of derivative instruments on licenses, to cover any risks of future price fluctuations, and therefore an increase in disclosure in this area.
 
Design/methodology/approach: The methodology used in this study was the content analysis of the Reports and Accounts of the sample entities over a 12-year period, based on the creation of disclosure indexes for the topics under analysis. This is a longitudinal study that seeks to address possible changes in the behavior of companies' reporting practices in the periods 2008-2102 and 2013-2020 (corresponding to the 2nd and 3rd phases of the EU ETS).
 
Findings: The results of the derivative disclosure index, in general, is higher (average IDGD is 0.81), although it is still very low when it specifically refers to derivative instruments for risk hedging related to emission licenses (IDL_LE = 0.11). Contrary to expectations, not only companies do not use this type of instrument to cover the risk of fluctuations in the price of licenses, nor is the change in the behavior of companies between the 2nd and 3rd EU ETS periods significant. Regarding the explanatory factors studied, there is only a statistically positive correlation between the disclosure index and profitability.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: The study will focus on a sample of companies operating in Portugal, which are part of the National Emission Licensing Plan (PNALE) I and II. The literature is silent on previous studies related to disclosure on emission allowances derivatives, so our study represents a contribution to the advancement of literature in this area.
 
Originality/value:  As far as we know, previous studies related to the disclosure of derivative instruments for gas emission licenses are non-existent, so our study represents a contribution to the advancement of the literature in this area.
