Published: November 2020

In an economic environment with a perpetually increasing number and complexity of challenges, financial sustainability must be part of the development strategy of any company, emphasizing the good management of the patrimonial resources on the long term. The financial sustainability of a company is actually the ability to generate value with the help of a correct balance between investments and sources of financing. Simultaneously, within a company, the emphasis will be on the vigor of the accounting principle of continuity in long-term operations. Therefore, at the level of each company, managers are faced with challenges related to managerial decisions that would ensure financial sustainability. In Romania most of these companies are financed by bank loans, which leads to a lack of liquidity, which in turn triggers an increased risk of inability to make payments. In a company, financing sources have a strong impact on the liquidity risk, and, therefore, the higher the share of the equity in the company’s total financing sources, the lower the financial risk. The results of our research are relevant for providing useful information in managing the activities of companies. wineries and more. Correct and timely information can help a company to optimize its resources and, in addition, to perform a correct analysis. The aim of our research was to make a diagnosis based on documentation of financial sustainability and the factors that influence it. The case study was conducted at a wine company in Tulcea County, Romania, namely SC Alcovin SRL Măcin.

Authors: Savelyev Mikhail , Pushina Natalia , Savchenko Andrey
Published: November 2020

The article examines the features of the economic development of Russia since 1887 by growth and risk parameters. The development risk was measured using the standard deviation of the annual growth rates of real GDP. Progressive, regressive, conservative, and aggressive development is proposed to determine according to the changes in growth and risk. The authors have analyzed the process of development under individual governments, as well as in general for the imperial, socialist, and post-Soviet periods, with the emphasis in the last two Stalinist and post-Stalinist, liberal and patriotic periods, respectively. Progressive changes in economic development are revealed: Stolypin reforms, industrialization and the “vertical of power”; regressive: civil war, Khrushchev reforms, perestroika, liberalization, and modernization; conservative: Kosygin reforms and “nationalization of the elite”. Except for opportunistic growth and risk surges 1911-1913 and 1998-2000, no aggressive developmental periods with identifiable institutional causes were found. The repetitive development cycle of the socialist and post-Soviet periods is shown. The conclusion is made about the greater authenticity of the Russian culture of the socialist development model and the least of the liberal ones, as well as the need to develop post-industrial development institutions that are authentic to the Russian culture for their application after the predicted institutional crisis.

Regional and urban sustainability no longer consider as an solely environmental or economic concern, but also incorporate social dimensions. However, the notions and indicators of social dimension of sustainability has not been very clearly defined. We linked social sustainability with the level of socio-economic well-being, equitable access to social service and quality of social capital. There are at least three types of municipalities in the Sverdlovsk region, based on the availability of certain social services and their dynamics. Analysis of strategic documents and policy actions of regional government demonstrate some positive shifts in social services availability, however regional differentiation on the demographic and economic indicators should also be taken in account. Gaps in the regional strategic planning system are identified and recommendations are formulated.

Authors: Egorov Yuriy , Zhuravleva Natalia , Poliak Miloš
Published: November 2020

This article attempts to assess the impact of the level of railway rates on the sustainable development of territories (on the example of Russia, freight and passenger rates, 2000-2018) using econometric modeling with an autoregressive model. As follows from the results obtained, in general, the statistically significant effect of the level of railway rates on the sustainable development of territories can be identified only for some indicators that assess certain aspects of sustainable development. Evaluation of the influence of the level of railway rates on integral indicators of sustainable development (on the example of the human development index) leads either to the identification of autocorrelation of the model residuals or does not give an unambiguous answer about the presence/absence of autocorrelation, which casts doubt on the conclusions on assessing the quality of the model and its coefficients.

Authors: Baskakova Irina , Suldina Olga
Published: November 2020

This paper is devoted to research the “entrepreneurial city” in Russian economy. Firstly the authors analyze the development of the concept in foreign studies and compare the results with Russian authors researches. This concept is not so widespread both in scientific sphere and in municipal level in Russia. Then the authors propose two groups of parameters that give the opportunity to identify entrepreneurial city using Russian statistics. From the one hand there are quantitative parameters that include the degree of economic diversity and services; presence of human capital; the degree of the urban environment and living conditions. Each of criteria was evaluated on the several statistic indicators. From the other hand there are qualitative parameters that help to explain differences between similar cities. For example, the authors consider two close Ural cities, Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg, and analyze its differences according quantitative and qualitative criteria of entrepreneurial city.

Published: November 2020

The article presents the results of a study of the social and environmental problems of a small town with a developed mining industry. The authors have tested the methodology for assessing social and ecological tension for the city of Sibay in the Republic of Bashkortostan based on the approaches by I.A. Sosunov for the regions of Russia. The key indicators of the analysis were the data of official information on the socio-economic and ecological state, a sociological survey and a comprehensive assessment of the state of the environment. As a result, the index of social and ecological tension of the city was calculated in the context of settlements: Gorny (3.7) - Yuzhny (3.2) - city center (2.7) -Zoloto (2.6) - Vostochny (2.4) - Dom Rybaka (2.3) - Arkaim (1.6). The use of the category of social and environmental tension in the proposed interpretation allows for a comprehensive analysis of the urbanized territories of the mining region, which determine its environmental safety and sustainable development, their ranking, and also development of a set of economically justified measures to be included in the programs of the strategic development of the region.

Authors: Kodirzoda Diclovar , Matveeva Alla , Yalunina Ekaterina , Krasnov Roman
Published: November 2020

The article describes the versatility of the service sector in the tourism industry. It is argued that a clear definition and even an idea of management in the tourism industry as the flagship of the national and regional development of the service sector has not yet fully developed in the scientific community. The complexity, significance and relative novelty of the service sector in the tourism industry, as well as the lack of fundamental work in this area, have led to the emergence and use of many terms that define its essence. Over the past ten years, the regional administration in Russia has been undergoing a clear transformation and a new approach to strategy development is being formed.As the Russian tourism industry’s market for services represents an innovative management and socio-economic platform with a regional character, new management and development technologies should be more actively developed and implemented in the most resource-appropriate territories. The problems of strategic development of the service sector and management in the tourism industry are considered on the example of the servirization of the Sverdlovsk region.

Authors: Volosova Aleksandra , Matiukhina Ekaterina , Akimov Dmitry
Published: November 2020

The article explores the possibility of applying tensor method of dual networks for analysis of transport and tourism components in sustainable development of territories. The tensor method of dual networks, in contrast to other methods allows to consider the structure of the large-scale intelligence system and the processes occurring in it as one whole. Thus, we have the possible to complex analyze all the components of a large-scale system even when its structure, the number of its elements and the connections between them will be changed. Tensor equations make it possible to accurately calculate the parameters of a system when simulating various ways of connecting its elements. On the example of the analysis of the tourist transport system, the advantages of using the method of double networks to assess the impact of the system on the sustainable development of the territory are shown.
Transport Security in the Sustainable Development of the City: Legal Aspect
Authors: Iroshnikov Denis V.
Published: November 2020

A sustainable city imposes stringent requirements on transport infrastructure. Nowadays the city transport must meet a number of criteria. That means it has to be advanced, environmentally compliant, and safe. Herewith, transport must be safe for a driver and his passengers as well as for other road users (such as pedestrians and others). Recently, alternative modes of transport have become widespread in the cities. This includes personal electric transport: segway, self-balancing scooter, electric scooter, unicycle, etc). Some countries have been already operating autonomous vehicles within the urban traffic whereas in other countries they are undergoing final testing before their release on urban roads. In large cities and metropolises, carsharing service which has already proven its effectiveness is actively developing. The usual modes of city transport are also improving. For instance, the taxi has been almost completely brought under the control of web-aggregators (“Uber” and others). All of that requires thorough scientific research in the sphere of ensuring transport security which is the indispensable condition of the sustainable city concept.

Authors: Trotsenko Oksana , Batanov Oleksandr , Simachkova Natalia
Published: November 2020

In the article, public-private partnership (hereinafter - PPP) is analyzed as one of the ways to implement infrastructure projects. This form of cooperation arises primarily in those areas for which the state bears responsibility (for ex-ample, road construction, housing and communal services, healthcare, con-struction of social infrastructure facilities, etc.). Due to the strategic importance of the above spheres of the economy, the state can not completely abandon control over their functioning. At the same time, there is a need to maintain the operability of the objects included in them, as well as to attract additional (in addition to budget) funding. Based on foreign experience, the most optimal form of cooperation in this case is PPP.

Published: November 2020

This paper examines aspects of corporate social responsibility that is the key element of effective corporate management strategy, including different social and economic programs that contribute to an increase in the level of business activity of the company and strengthening its relationship with society. The authors consider corporate social responsibility in Russian companies, and primarily the public companies. The authors carry out the comparative analysis of the practice of non-financial reporting in Russia and abroad, being fundamental for establishing the company’s contribution to social development. The authors also analyze the dynamics of the corporate social responsibility indices of Russian companies, including public companies. The study found that Russian companies are at the initial stage of corporate social responsibility development, and non-financial statements are published only by the largest private companies and state corporations. This process does not involve small and medium-sized businesses, as well as small companies with state or municipal ownership. Such circumstance significantly complicates the assessment of the level of corporate social responsibility in Russia, including the state entrepreneurship sector.

Published: November 2020

Some moments in the history of the formation of the concept and the modern components of the mechanism of industrial corporations sustainable development, which comprehensively combines the managerial, economic, social and environmental aspects have been presented in the paper. The experience of disclosing information in the field of sustainable development by the largest metallurgical corporations having assets in the Russian Federation has been presented and analyzed as well. The research has shown that using the unified GRI Standards recommendations, management of each corporation independently determines the number and composition of indices required to assess the Triple Bottom Line. It has been concluded that the lack of a unified methodology for disclosing information in the field of achieving sustainable development results does not allow corporations to compare them, since one of the main principles of scientific research, i.e. the principle of results comparability is violated. The following authors’ position is defended: in order to eliminate the reasons that complicate the comparative assessment of the results of sustainable development of industrial corporations, the reporting methodology needs to be improved.

Authors: Rubtsov Gennadiy , Litvinenko Aleksandr
Published: November 2020

Single-industry towns occupy a special place in the system of regional economic development of Russia. To date, domestic practice has accumulated significant experience in the management of mono-profile areas. In fact, its own model of mono-education management, which includes an individual set of tools for socio-economic impact, has been developed. The institute of development of single-industry towns was formed into a complete system of tested mechanisms and organizational forms of their implementation. The basic directions of support of monoprofile territories are defined, the bodies of development of single-industry towns are created, the complex programs of development of monoformations are tested and adjusted. The process of development of mono-territories has passed to the “post-institutional” stage, when the system of institutions for single-industry towns management (Single-Industry Towns Development Fund), tested in practice, has been subjected to scientific and public criticism, and to date is able to effectively generate a qualitatively different level of influence on the socio-economic situation of cities of the mono-profile type.

Authors: Zaporozhchenko Oleg , Radkovskaya Elena , Kochkina Elena , Mironov Denis
Published: November 2020

The article substantiates the need to choose a new paradigm for the macro-regional development of Eurasia, which, along with other macro-regions, has found itself in recent decades in a situation where the old theoretical platform for regional development has ceased to correspond to modern conditions of economic and socio-political reality. The system paradigm proposed as an alternative puts forward the principle of studying the region as a holistic system based on the analysis of interconnections and relations between its individual components. This applies both to the internal relations of the system (economic, cultural, organizational, demographic, social and others), as well as interconnections with the environment external to the system. According to the authors, the growing role of economic sustainability is determined by the objective need to develop theoretical, methodological, and practical guidelines that would enable the process of transition to a sustainable development format.

Authors: Kuzminyh Konstantin , Galkova Regina
Published: November 2020

Today, sanatorium and resort institutions are undergoing a difficult period, in particular due to the spread of “Covid19” infection. It is assumed that against the backdrop of the crisis, domestic tourism will develop more, respectively, tourists will prefer to book tickets themselves, studying information on Internet resources. In this case, it is impossible to increase the efficiency of the enterprise and increase the demand for services without the use of innovative IT technologies to sanatoriums. The study showed that the activity of most sanatoriums on international online sites is very weak, as well as many of them do not conduct news feeds on official sites, ignore social networks as an effective mechanism for their promotion, as a result of which circumstances arise when the services provided by sanatoriums do not meet the expectations of vacationers. It should be recognized that the level of service in the sanatorium requires an increase, accordingly, it is necessary to carry out activities to position and qualitatively improve work on online services. The acquisition of competitive advantages and the preservation of loyalty of guests is the key functions of positioning and promoting sanatorium and resort institutions, which in turn will contribute to the management of the sustainable development of the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan.

The article is devoted to determining the place of further vocational education in the processes of implementing the strategy for sustainable development of the education sector. In the process of the educational reform, this area turned out to be the most vulnerable in the conditions of market mechanisms, while simultaneously tightening the requirements of the legislation. The stability of the system depends on the achievement of a consensus of factors of the external and internal environment, which combined the needs of the educational services market, the requirements of professional standards and the potential of educational organizations. Due to the independent status of the organizations providing advanced training and professional retraining services, sustainability is expressed in the availability of sufficient personnel, information, organizational and other resources for a timely response to the consumer requests. Therefore, the prospect of implementing a sustainable development strategy for these organizations lies in the formation and use of the internal and external potential of the educational organization.
