THE INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY OF PRODUCTION FACTORS IN THE CONTEXT OF POST-WAR ECONOMIC RECOVERY IN UKRAINE
Authors:   National University «Lviv Polytechnic», Bosak Аndrii , Zakorchemna Olha ,   National University «Lviv Polytechnic»
Published: June 2023

The international mobility of production factors is a necessary precondition for post-war recovery of the Ukrainian economy. Without attracting production factors from abroad, it will be difficult to return to pre-war production levels in short terms and restore export potential. The Heckscher-Ohlin theory, the Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson theorem of factor price equalization, and the Heckscher-Ohlin-Vanek model of factor trade in services may become the theoretical basis for developing a macroeconomic program for post-war recovery of the Ukrainian economy. However, there is a problem of evaluating production factors, as their physical measurements are difficult to convert into cost ones due to the impossibility of achieving complete homogeneity. The purpose of the study is to explore the possibilities and conditions of attracting production factors from abroad for post-war recovery of the Ukrainian economy. To achieve this, the following objectives should be performed: 1) generalize the theoretical basis of international mobility of production factors; 2) develop a method for evaluating production factors and their level of international mobility; 3) establish criteria for assessing the feasibility of involvement foreign production factors. The used research methods are theoretical generalization, analysis (for regulation of international mobility of production factors), statistical analysis of indicators for evaluating physical and monetary parameters of production factors, their homogeneity, productivity, efficiency of management, and international mobility. Generalizing the theoretical basis of production factors’ mobility makes possible to form, in general terms, a method for evaluating their cost and level of international mobility. The research results prove the necessity of step-by-step attraction of foreign capital to different sectors of the economy and the cre- ation of conditions for re-immigration of the population of Ukraine. If labor resources increased, it is possible to involve foreign labor. A developed model for evaluating production factors considers their level of international mobility and establishes links with macroeconomic indicators. In the model ratios that measure the productivity of production factors, their capacity in final production, consumption, exports, imports, and their level of relative shortage (surplus) are used. A promising direction for further research is the formation and empirical testing of specific econometric models for the optimal distribution of available, developed, and imported production factors among the sectors of the national economy in order to maximize export potential.
INVESTMENTS IN RENEWABLE ENERGY IN THE EU: EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INCENTIVES
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Podolchuk Dmytro
Published: June 2023

This study uses panel data regression analysis to examine the relationship between incentive policies and the deployment of renewable energy sources (RES) in the European Union (EU). Data for 25 EU countries were collected from 2000 to 2021, with Malta and Cyprus excluded due to insufficient data. A fixed effects model was utilised to consider individual country characteristics and unobservable factors that differ over time. Additionally, a dynamic panel data model was estimated to assess the influence of prior RES capacity on current capacity, offering more efficient parameter estimates than traditional static fixed-effect estimation. Our findings reveal the multidirectional impact of various RES incentive instruments and policies on different types of RES in the EU. Fiscal and financial instruments, such as taxes, grants, and R&D policies, proved more effective in promoting RES development than other incentive types in the energy sector. Market-based incentives, including certificates and support policy frameworks, also positively impacted the capacity of RES power plants. However, net metering, direct investment, and loans did not significantly increase RES, while regulation and direct investment appeared to constrain RES potential. The dynamic panel data estimates demonstrate that previous RES capacity positively and significantly influences current capacity. Furthermore, our estimation results emphasise that fossil energy consumption, nuclear energy, and GDP are critical determinants of RES development. Interestingly, net imports (energy security) and CO2 emissions were not significant factors driving RES growth. The results also indicate that the fossil fuel lobby could be more highly effective, and concerns about nuclear power are quite strong in the analysed countries. This study highlights the importance of RES incentive instruments that reduce investment costs for the success of RES mechanisms, stressing the need for supportive policies to enhance the competitiveness of renewable energy technologies. It emphasises that although some incentive policies have effectively promoted RES development, others, such as net metering, direct investment, and loans, have not achieved the desired results. In conclusion, understanding the effectiveness of various incentive instruments and policies is crucial for driving further RES development and improving the overall sustainability of the energy sector in the EU.

Published: June 2023

The article examines the legal regulation of the National Police of Ukraine in the performance of official and combat tasks. In particular, attention was paid to the genesis of certain central concepts of our work, the authority to ensure and implement measures of the legal regime of martial law, the performance of official and combat tasks by police officers in civilian clothes. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that the work deepened the theoretical work on the legal regulation of the activities of the National Police of Ukraine in the performance of official and combat tasks. In accordance with the current legislation of Ukraine, police officers are assigned a number of duties and powers. accordingly, it is clear that during the period of martial law, the work of a policeman has a number of peculiarities. So, as a general rule, a police officer performing official duties in civilian clothes must always carry a special badge. It is forbidden for a policeman to remove a special badge from his uniform or hide it. It is important to note that in the Law of Ukraine «On the National Police» the powers in the context of ensuring the functioning of the measures of the martial law regime or the state of emergency; work in the direction of combating criminal acts against critical infrastructure objects, which in turn poses a great threat to the normal provision of life activities of the population, work to support security in cyberspace; joint work with special units in the direction of combating criminal groups, sabotage and intelligence groups and groups whose main task is to overthrow the constitutional order and sovereignty of the country, etc. Carrying out the police service in conditions of war, state of emergency or other critical situations requires the employees of the National Police to have the appropriate abilities, skills and characteristics of character. So, one of the main requirements for police officers is the speed of decision-making in critical situations, the ability to act taking into account all the circumstances. So, taking into account the above, we note that the combat effectiveness of a unit of police officers directly depends on the ability to act in stressful situations and, most importantly, the ability to cope with stress, and the ability to correctly apply tactical work.

Published: June 2023

The rapid spread of information technologies, in combination with the new stage of development of economic relations, contribute to the spread of electronic commerce. Spreading everywhere and offering an increasingly wide range of goods and services, electronic commerce becomes a tool for integrating individuals, enterprises, industries, government institutions, and states into a single community, within which the interaction of partners is effectively and smoothly realized using information and telecommunication technologies. The advantages of using the Internet attract an increasing number of participants who seek to take advantage of new opportunities for doing business, making sales, and purchases. The article examines today’s largest e-commerce markets in the global economy. It was determined that in the current conditions on the world market of international electronic trade, several global centers of electronic commerce have formed, which are significantly ahead of the rest of the world regarding market size, development rates, and the spread of information and communication technologies. Three leaders in the global e-commerce market have been identified: China, which quickly improved the direction of e-commerce; the market of the United States of America, which was the first to develop the order of e-commerce and held the lead for a long time; and the member states of the European Union. The research investigated the main modern trends in the e-commerce markets of China, the United States of America, and the European Union. The largest e-commerce markets were formed in China and the USA, which account for more than half of all global online sales in international trade. Although these countries have a constantly growing volume of the electronic market, the Chinese market is considered more promising. This is because China has a large population and low Internet penetration, indicating its great potential. At a time when in the USA, about two-thirds of the entire population already has Internet access and conducts transactions on the network, in Europe the undisputed e-commerce market leaders are Germany and France, which account for 81.5% of online sales in Europe.

Authors:   National Aviation University, Mykhalchenko Oleksii
Published: June 2023

The article defines the features and directions of transformation of the tax and customs status of the aviation complex of Ukraine in the conditions of European integration. An analysis of the content of the Customs Code of Ukraine and normative acts specifying the content of its provisions was carried out. A conclusion was made about a more detailed regulation of customs control and registration of commercial aircraft and goods transported by them compared to the procedures for customs control and declaration of passengers. The content of customs formalities for air transport in international traffic has been systematized: customs control and customs clearance of aircraft, control over their re-export / re-import, customs control and customs clearance of passengers and goods when they cross the customs border of Ukraine. The directions of harmonization of the Customs Codes of Ukraine and the EU in terms of detailing the provisions on the customs risk management system, prior information about passengers, countering terrorism, algorithms of interaction between customs, border, law enforcement agencies, security services of Ukraine and airports are substantiated. The necessity of developing methodical recommendations for assessing customs risks based on formalized and informal data, using automated and intellectual analysis by officials of responsible bodies is shown. To ensure the customs security of Ukraine, two lines of protection are proposed: the first – representatives of border, customs authorities, airport security services, who collect information about suspicious persons, their luggage, etc.; the second – initiating bodies that process information and carry out control both by software methods and by means of personal communication (interpersonal contacts, telephone, electronic communication, etc.). The main task of the further development of automation and informatization of processes in customs affairs is the creation of a multifunctional, complex system, an important element of which is preliminary information about aircraft, the goods they move, passengers and luggage.

Published: June 2023

In the conditions of the post-industrial economy based on information and knowledge, intellectual capital is a leading factor in the development of an enterprise, a condition for its competitiveness. The involvement of innovative technologies makes it possible to limit the circle of competitors and ensure stable positions in the selected market segment. Therefore, intellectual capital should be considered in the context of the most important component of the economic potential of the enterprise. Its effective management will ensure the growth of the enterprise's intellectual and economic potential and its sustainable development. The article examines the essence and structure of the economic potential, intellectual potential and intellectual capital of the enterprise. The process of forming the enterprise's potential is one of the directions of its economic strategy and involves the creation and organization of a system of resources and competencies so that the result of their interaction is a success factor in achieving the strategic, tactical and operational goals of the enterprise. The economic potential of the enterprise consists of the potentials of various areas of its activity: production, organization, marketing, financial, scientific and technical, informational. Researchers summarize all types of potential in the form of objective and subjective potential. Human, structural and informational potentials cannot be attributed to the objective or subjective potential of the enterprise. These components form the intellectual potential, which by its nature is a subjective-objective potential. The main component of the intellectual potential of the enterprise is its intellectual capital, which includes the human and structural capital of the enterprise. The analysis of intellectual capital and its components in the context of the formation of the economic potential of the enterprise made it possible to reveal the main relationships between intellectual capital, intellectual potential and the economic potential of the enterprise. Intellectual capital is the starting factor for the formation of the intellectual potential of the enterprise, which is an important component of the economic potential and a prerequisite for the sustainable development of the enterprise.
THE DIGITAL PARADIGM OF THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL MARKET FUNCTIONING
Authors:   Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman, Soroka Bohdan
Published: June 2023

The article examines trends in the development of the global financial market under the influence of the development of digital technologies. It is emphasized that the development of digital technologies quantitatively and qualitatively changes the global financial market. First of all, its scaling is taking place, and financial capital is being transformed into the main driving force of the global economy. Digital technologies contribute to the quantitative growth of the global financial market, and capital mobility is becoming an extremely important factor in economic development at the level of nations. Along with this, the prerequisites for the active use of financial innovations are being formed. However, innovations that are diverse in nature cannot always be evaluated exclusively positively because some of them often increase imbalances in financial development. It is emphasized that the format of functioning of financial institutions is fundamentally changing, especially in terms of their interaction with financial services' consumers and participants in financial transactions. The formation of the FinTech sector is taking place, the activity of which represents the technological component of the development of the global financial market. Activity of FinTech companies in fact impersonates the digitalisation of the financial market. And velocity and dynamics of the development gradually transform FinTech companies into key participants of the global financial market, which form trends at its key segments. At the same time, digitalization leads to the emergence of new challenges for the global financial market participants. Among other things, the mentioned problems are related to the poor effectiveness of state regulation and the inability of the state regulator to provide supervision over specific segments of the global financial market. It is argued that today the financial market of the digital economy is forming, which determines the need to update the strategies of all its participants. However, it is extremely difficult to predict what will be the outlines of the digital economy’s financial market and its key parameters in the medium term.

Authors:   Odesa National Technological University, Pavlova Iryna
Published: June 2023

As a result of the reform of the territorial organization of society in Ukraine, united territorial communities (UTC) and new districts identified as rural-urban agglomerations were formed. In this regard, there was a need to clarify the essence of this socio-spatial phenomenon, to determine its place in the system of social relations and in the solution of urgent socio-economic problems related to overcoming significant differences between the town and the countryside, of disparities in the development of regions. The article substantiates the need to determine the degree of dependence of the development of rural-urban agglomerations of Ukraine on the basis of inclusiveness from the impact on this process of urbanization and ruralization. In order to achieve this goal, the task was formulated ‒ to identify UTC and districts as rural-urban agglomeration formations; reveal the essence of socio-spatial inclusiveness; to find out the development trends of these agglomerations under the influence of urbanization and ruralization. The methodological basis of the study is the fundamental and latest works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists on various aspects of inclusive development, the nature of agglomerations, and modern trends in the manifestation of urbanization and ruralization. The research was carried out using of interdisciplinary, systemic and institutional approaches, comparative, statistical methods, as well as methods of SWOT-analysis, deduction and induction, analysis and synthesis. The scientific novelty of the study consists in substantiating the position regarding the dependence of the inclusive development of rural-urban agglomerations on the influence of urbanization and ruralization. Taking into account the manifestation within the spatial boundaries of these agglomeration formations of urbanization and ruralization allowed us to carry out the appropriate typology of UTC and districts, classification according to urban and rural features of the regions of Ukraine. According to the results of the research, certain generalizations were made, practical recommendations were given, the use of which is appropriate in the conditions of the post-war recovery of Ukraine on the basis of inclusiveness. It is noted that their implementation as best as possible will require the continuation of scientific research in the specified direction.

It has been established that increasing the efficiency of the construction industry is possible due to the activation of innovations and innovative activities. Clustering is one of the effective tools for implementing innovative activities. It is justified that clusters can be considered as an alternative to the sectoral organization of the economy of the country and the region, which corresponds to the traditional approach to economic development. Clusters are the main link of modern institutional formations that effectively organize and regulate a complex system of interdependent economic and social relations, in particular in the construction industry. It has been proven that the formation and development of clusters is an effective mechanism for attracting foreign direct investment and activating the processes of integration into global value chains. It is substantiated that clustering is the innovative technology that will contribute to the rapid strategic development of the construction industry of Ukraine in the postwar period. And this, in turn, will contribute to the economic growth of GDP, the creation of new jobs, and the restoration of the infrastructure of the region and the country in general. It has been proven that clustering is the innovative technology that will contribute to the rapid strategic development of the construction industry of Ukraine in the post-war period. And this, in turn, will contribute to the economic growth of GDP, the creation of new jobs, and the restoration of the infrastructure of the region and the country in general. Clusters create a certain synergistic effect on the economy of the region and the country. It is justified that important aspects of the implementation of an active policy of clustering should be: a clear business environment, trust in the authorities, active growth of regions and a policy of supporting the development of clusters at the state and regional levels. It was determined that these aspects should be taken into account by domestic state and regional authorities, especially in the direction of the development of construction clusters in the housing and communal sphere.
PROCESSES IN ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT
Authors:   Khmelnytskyi National University, Abushov Teymur
Published: June 2023

The article considers a set of terms used in management to reflect a management approach based on the general theory of processes. Ukrainian scientists use the terms "process" and "business process" interchangeably in scientific research on this topic. Taking into account the existing proposals regarding the delimitation of the above, it is proposed to understand business processes as a type of processes that should be separated to denote processes that result in economic values and social effects and that collectively reflect the economic activity of the business entity. Business processes are divided to reflect the system of processes occurring in the enterprise as objects of different levels of management. It is proposed to differentiate the terms depending on the level of the management object. The term "process approach to management" or "process-oriented approach to management" is used to denote the approach to enterprise management. A key feature of this approach is the use of the term "process" to reflect the entire set of processes occurring at the enterprise. This approach extends not only to the display of the management object as a set of processes ("process management"). On the basis of systems theory, it is also possible to structure the management system itself, that is, management influence. In this case, it is appropriate to talk about "process-structured management". At the same time, the smallest object of management in the process approach to management should be considered a specific process of a certain orientation. The term "process management" or, more often, "business process management" is used to denote management activities related to it. To use a managerial approach, it is important to be aware of the relationship between the terms "project" and "process". Projects can and should be used within process, functional, situational or system approaches. Their feature is that they should be used to solve important, but one-time unique tasks. At the same time, it is incorrect and inappropriate to consider the business process as a component of a certain project impractical.
COMPETITIVENESS MANAGEMENT AS A WORLD VIEW OF ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT
Authors:   Poltava State Agrarian University, Varaksina Elena
Published: June 2023

The article deals with the issues of enterprise competitiveness management, in particular, the article focuses on the scientific approaches of foreign and domestic researchers to define the essence of the concept of "enterprise competitiveness management". It is noted that in scientific circles the interpretation of this economic category is considered quite diverse. It should be noted that the concept of " enterprise competitiveness management " is considered by the vast majority of scientists as management actions aimed at creating and maintaining long-term competitive advantages, with an emphasis on the development of competitive strategies. In view of the various approaches of scholars to the definition of "enterprise competitiveness management", the main characteristics of enterprise competitiveness management are allocated. It is pointed out that the competitive strategy should be built in close connection with the overall strategy of the company. Each enterprise should create an effective system of competitive strategies, which includes several variants of strategies, which have to be periodically reviewed and adjusted to changes in the internal and external environment. It is extremely important to have a set of competitive strategies because the company's activities always take place in conditions of uncertainty and are accompanied by risks, and the company must develop continuously in such conditions, so it is extremely important to create a system of competitive strategies. The presence of a number of competitive strategies will provide an enterprise with sustainable competitive advantages and will help to meet all kinds of consumer needs many times more effectively than competitors. The levels of competitive strategies of an enterprise and their characteristics are assigned: low, medium, high, and attention is also focused on the levels of competitive advantages and their characteristics: low, high and highest. The correspondence between the levels of competitive strategy and competitive advantage is compared. It is emphasized that, in addition to strategic measures, the enterprise's competitiveness management includes tactical measures, which are taken in case of the need for a quick reaction or action in response to the actions of competitors.

The modern development of international business creates new conditions for the effective functioning of business entities on international markets. First of all, this concerns the constant and steady increase in the volume of financing of foreign economic operations, which, in turn, requires the search for optimal methods and sources, among which leasing occupies a significant place. In Ukraine, the urgency of the development of leasing is determined by the need for technical re-equipment and renewal of the fixed assets of enterprises, the level of wear and tear of which is approximately 80%. The vast majority of Ukrainian enterprises are unable to carry out technical renewal of production with their own funds. Therefore, there is an objective need to develop the leasing business. The article analyzes the current trends of the global leasing market and the market of Ukraine, identifies problems and prospects for development, develops recommendations for improving the methodical support of the organization of leasing operations in the field of foreign economic activity. The historical experience of the development of leasing in many countries confirms its important role in the renewal of production, the expansion of product sales, and the activation of investment activities. Leasing can become especially attractive in connection with the introduction of tax and depreciation benefits. Leasing can become especially attractive in connection with the introduction of tax and depreciation benefits. Leasing operations are in great demand on the world market, as they provide certain advantages for all participants in the agreement. Today, Ukrainian leasing companies are unable to fully meet the aggregate demand for this type of financial services, therefore, for Ukraine, the use of international leasing as the main element of updating equipment and production facilities is extremely important. International financial leasing provides enterprises with the opportunity to modernize equipment and thereby increase their efficiency and competitiveness. Therefore, the relevance of the study is determined by the need to use international financial leasing as a means of updating the company's main production assets.
THREATS IN THE CONCEPT OF ECONOMIC SECURITY OF THE ENTERPRISE

Published: June 2023

The article establishes that ensuring the necessary and sufficient level of economic security is one of the most urgent issues for any enterprise, not excluding domestic business. At the same time, in the conceptual foundations of the theory of economic security of the enterprise, which determine the strategy, tactics and mechanism of its provision, an important place belongs to the understanding of the essence of the concept of «threat to economic security». The economic understanding of the «threat» category consists in quantifying the losses that the economic system of the enterprise as a whole or its individual components will suffer in the event of its implementation. The study of the terminological foundations of the definition of threats to the economic security of the enterprise established a large number of opinions of scientists regarding the content of this concept, which were grouped into four main approaches – threats to economic security as: processes, phenomena, prerequisites, factors capable of causing changes of a negative nature to the enterprise; existing or potential actions that complicate or make impossible the realization of the economic interests of the enterprise; any conflict between the goals of the operation and development of the enterprise with the external or internal environment, and if the goals coincide, as a discrepancy in the ways of achieving them; identification of threats and dangers to the sustainable functioning of the economic system and the level of its economic security. Therefore, it is proposed to consider threats to the economic security of the enterprise as existing and potentially possible events that can negatively affect the level of economic security of the enterprise. The conducted research made it possible to find out the main essential characteristics of the concept of «threat to the economic security of the enterprise», which include the fact that threats may or may not occur; negatively affect the economic system of the enterprise and its economic process and, therefore, the level of its economic security; can have a different nature of occurrence: natural, man-made, subjective, force majeure.
PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF RAILWAY TRANSPORT ENTERPRISES

Published: June 2023

The article proves that today, in conditions of drastic changes in macro- and micro-environments, Ukrainian railway transport enterprises are not always able to adequately and flexibly respond to these changes, as a result of which the industry's potential opportunities for obtaining economic benefits can turn into a source of problems. Studies have shown that currently the characteristic features of the modern state of railway transport enterprises are a high level of wear and tear of the rolling stock and material and technical base, a critical level of the financial state of the industry, as well as open questions regarding restructuring, the development of public-private partnerships, attracting investments, and technical innovations. and technological modernization in the industry. This situation arose as a result of: almost complete lack of state support, state funding, which does not allow covering the needs for maintenance and development of transport infrastructure; lack of own means of railways; lack of external funding sources; administrative restrictions on the increase of railway transport tariffs, which does not allow to accumulate funds for capital investments; imperfections of the legislative and regulatory framework. To date, the railways of Ukraine have a sufficiently high level of efficiency, as evidenced by the main qualitative indicators that characterize the operation of railway transport: average daily locomotive productivity, average daily wagon productivity and freight wagon turnover. It has been proven that without the implementation of decisive measures in the direction of improving management activities, the railway transport of Ukraine in the coming years may turn into the main restraining factor of the rise and structural restructuring of the economy, ensuring the country's security and defense capability, improving conditions and raising the standard of living of the population. Ensuring the effective development of railway transport should be based on a fundamentally new management approach, which would include the formation of innovative potential as a priority, as well as the constant and continuous improvement of the competence of railway enterprises.
THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF MANAGEMENT OF SECURITY ACTIVITIES OF THE ENTERPRISE

Published: June 2023

COVID-19 and the military aggression of the Russian Federation with negative consequences for the national economy and every enterprise have actualized not only the problem of ensuring economic security at the micro level, but also directly reviewing the principles of managing security activities. The difficultly predicted change in the influence of key internal and external factors poses new tasks for security subjects, the solution of which is possible not only by studying best practices, but in general by reviewing the basic positions of interaction between the controlling and controlled subsystems. The purpose of the study is to carefully consider the historical foundations of the formation of management theory in order to specify the principles of managing the security activities of the enterprise. In order to consider the theoretical aspects of the management of the security activities of the enterprise, the following methods were applied: induction and deduction, comparison and systematization – in the study of differences in the positions of the interpretation of the concept of "management"; synthesis and analysis – to reflect the transformation of researchers' views on the management of any systems; morphological analysis – to clarify the term "management of security activities of the enterprise"; abstract-logical – for theoretical generalizations and research conclusions. Studying the historical foundations of the development of management theory and clarifying the essence of the main modern approaches ("activity", "system", "process" and "social-psychological") creates the necessary basis for modernizing the understanding of security activities at the scale of an individual enterprise and improving its management for preserving and creating conditions for business development. It is proposed to understand the management of security activities of the enterprise as a purposeful and organized managerial influence (based on the application of methods, means, technologies and available resources) of security subjects on internal and external objects in order to consolidate efforts in achieving goals in the field of security activities. The key differences of the author's position lie in the orientation of security activities to ensure and maintain self-development, self-organization and self-control of the enterprise as a system, which are key parameters in the complex conditions of the national economy.

The article examines the peculiarities and problematic aspects of determining the economic effectiveness of psychological support for work with the consumer. A model for evaluating the economic efficiency of consumer profiling is proposed. The relationship between the tasks of profiling and the economic effects of its application has been studied. It has been proven that all expected economic effects of profiling apply two aspects of communication with the consumer: duration and effectiveness of communication. Reducing the average time to interact with a customer can be important for companies that use a piecework payment system. The increase in the effectiveness of communication with the consumer is determined by the increase in the probability of him buying the product (or service) as a result of minimizing the risks of irrational or manipulative behavior. The structure of economic results is determined, which is a consequence of using such a behavior profiling tool as LAB-rofile. The general approaches and components of the evaluation of the effectiveness of the application of this technology and the economic aspects of its training for the personnel of enterprises involved in communication processes with consumers are outlined. It was determined that the components of the economic efficiency of profiling are saving time on searching for appropriate mental models and increasing the effectiveness of communication. Factors determining the effectiveness of profiling are the duration and quality of education of the person who uses profiling. The use of profiling in working with consumers can be characterized not only by quantitative indicators of economic efficiency, but also by qualitative indicators that characterize positive changes in the structure of the consumer's consciousness. These changes do not lead to the consumer making economic decisions, but they increase his readiness to make such decisions in a strategic perspective. Among the effects that characterize qualitative changes during the application of profiling, one should include the improvement of mutual understanding, an increase in the level of comfort in communication, an increase in the level of satisfaction with communication and, as a result, an increase in consumer loyalty to the company as a whole.

The article substantiates the possibilities of applying the world’s best practices in the natural asset management in the post-war Ukrainian Black Sea region. Municipal natural assets are defined as the main object of management – objectively the most demanded in world practice; the specifics of the municipal natural asset management are close to the conditions of post-war Ukraine: the financing crisis, the destruction / wear and tear of communal infrastructure facilities, the imperfection of management processes and procedures, the inertia of the accounting system. In the context of understanding the ecological situation in the pre-war Ukrainian Black Sea region, it was determined that, compared to other countries with access to the Black Sea, Ukraine: in terms of renewable energy consumption, % of total final energy consumption, as of 2019, with an indicator of 7.44%, is inferior to all other countries, in particular Romania (23.54%); according to the indicator of renewable domestic fresh water resources, m3 per capita, as of 2018, with an indicator of 1,234.80, Ukraine is significantly inferior to all other countries, in particular, Georgia (15,598.88) and Turkey (2,756.86). A brief description of the destruction and pollution of the Ukrainian coastal regions as a result of the war of the russia against Ukraine was made. In particular, as of November 2022, only on the territory of the Donetsk region – large losses among the civilian population; destroyed: schools – 449, roads – 2695.2 km, hospitals – 176, residential area – 17.324 million m2. The recommendations for the inclusion of natural assets in financial planning are proposed: primarily regarding the preliminary development of an asset management strategy as a systematic business process for making decisions regarding municipal assets throughout their entire life cycle; having financial plans to ensure the repair and replacement of assets at the appropriate time, with appropriate accounting, including depreciation of assets in financial statements; combining the traditional approach of the integrated management of natural assets and the innovative approach to the municipal green infrastructure management.
