CULTURAL DIVERSITY MANAGEMENT MODELS AND ORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATIVENESS
Authors: Baleviciene Dovile
Published: October 2021

Many researchers agree, that cultural diversity has positive influence on an organization – encouraging creativity, adaptivity, problem solving, knowledge transfer, creating conditions for innovative ideas and perspectives, however it also increases probability of conflicts, loss of trust as well as other challenges. Therefore, Ikegami et al (2017) equates cultural diversity to Schrödinger‘s cat – a dual state of existence, at the same time it is an asset to an organization and a challenge. Cultural diversity is currently receiving increasing research intensity. There have been various studies conducted analysing opportunities created by cultural diversity on various levels. Also, widely analysed are cultural diversity influences on organization and relation between cultural diversity and innovation. However, there is a lack of research that focus on “how to manage” cultural diversity to achieve innovativeness or innovation. This is due to cultural diversity on its own not being able to guarantee these outcomes. The aim is to investigate how to enable innovativeness in an organisation while managing cultural diversity. Firstly, cultural diversity management and relation to organizational innovation are discussed; secondly, the cultural diversity management models are analysed. Comparative analysis and synthesis of scientific literature were used to conduct the research.

Authors: Volkova Liudmyla
Published: October 2021

The article considers the system of criteria for evaluating innovation activity in the system of public management of socio-economic processes. It is offered to use not exact values of this or that characteristic, and their indistinct analogues for the description of processes in social systems.
It is determined that new knowledge and innovations determine the pace of scientific and technological progress, the viability of enterprises and the competitiveness of economies. This necessitates the search for strategies to stimulate innovation activity in the field of public administration, focused on the formation of a comprehensive system of motivations, the creation of a modern organizational and economic model of activity, the introduction of monitoring and evaluation technologies. At the same time, there is a lack of a systematic approach to the assessment of innovation activity in the public administration system, which is accompanied by an increase in the risks of innovation and negatively affect the introduction of new technologies. In this regard, the problem of selection and implementation of an effective system for monitoring and rating construction is relevant. Existing in theory and practice approaches to innovation management and assessment of the level of its development do not contain clear, unambiguously interpreted criteria for choosing a strategy, as well as tools and methods to stimulate innovation. In addition, insufficient attention is paid to the organizational aspects of the implementation of innovation strategies. The list of the main characteristics for classification of innovative activity and construction of rating monitoring is resulted. Each of the subsystems is characterized by its fuzzy index. Thus, a combination of indexes describing various aspects of system operation is a universal code that can be used to classify and rank. The principles of analysis of quantitative indicators are also used as a methodological basis in the formation of the methodology for assessing innovation activity. Indicators should be used in the development of further strategies and the introduction of rating technologies to monitor the use of modern management techniques, the use of managerial innovations, digitalization of public administration, etc.

Authors: Nikitenko Kateryna
Published: October 2021

The modern development of economic relations, their global nature on the one hand, and the development of information and communication technologies, on the other, have led to the emergence of a specific form of these relations - electronic business and e-commerce. Market entities quickly master new opportunities for organizing business communications and are actively involved in the electronic business environment. This leads to the fact that access to information technologies becomes not just a competitive advantage, but a necessary condition for the functioning of market entities. However, despite the rapid development of electronic business communications, there are a large number of problems that hinder the integration of the national economy into the global economic electronic space. Large Ukrainian corporations with significant export volumes and extensive foreign economic ties simply cannot afford to stay outside the space of the modern world market, in which its electronic part is beginning to account for an increasing share. Large sales volumes allow, even if a small part of the manufactured products is sold at the first stages, to ensure the economic efficiency of their electronic platforms. It has been established that e-commerce is a type of economic activity, the essence of which is to carry out various business transactions between business entities, business activities in cyberspace, ie the use of the Internet and other interactive functions.
The development of e-commerce is becoming increasingly important in the context of globalization of economic processes, due to the possibility of achieving a global presence and economic activity worldwide, global choice of goods and services regardless of geographical location, optimization of trade flows, reducing costs for servicing the operation, which, in turn, leads to lower prices, the emergence of new goods and services (remote banking, insurance, brokerage services). Unfortunately, in Ukraine, the field of e-commerce is inferior to many developing countries, primarily due to the high level of distrust and low public awareness of the e-business sector, insufficient level of modernization of information and telecommunications technologies. Today in Ukraine, the segments of e-commerce - business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) are the most developed and represent, respectively, the sphere of concluding electronic business transactions between business entities. The article examines the reasons why the potential of e-commerce in Ukraine is not fully realized and the main factors of the growth of Internet commerce in the country.

MAIN DIRECTIONS IN THE PUBLISHING AND POLYGRAPHIC COMPLEX
Authors: Gutkevych Svitlana , Shenderivska Lina
Published: October 2021

The article reveals the main issues related to the management of publishing and printing companies in the current conditions of economic development. The enterprises of the publishing and printing complex are considered as objects of investment. The basic functions of management, such as planning, organization, motivation, analysis, control are defined. Modern enterprises, which meet the needs of consumers and meet their economic interests, along with the classic tasks perform a number of socially significant functions that do not provide direct capitalization, but become a prerequisite for competitiveness. Thus, the implementation of social projects requires additional costs and is not for profit, adherence to the principles of green economy does not always have an economic benefit for the company, but requires investment. In this way, the management of enterprises becomes more open, externally oriented, and the focus shifts from the economic purpose of functioning to the social mission of the business entity. This fully corresponds to the enterprises of the publishing and printing industry, which is not a priority sector of the national economy, but is attractive to investors as one that is associated with the formation, use, development of intellectual capital. We analyzed the general management methods used in publishing and printing companies, the results of which established a number of features. Economic management methods are more developed in medium-sized enterprises, which in their work are guided by the provisions on bonuses. The payment of bonuses in small businesses is unsystematic due to the unstable amount of funding, and depends on the decision of the head of the distribution of funds between different areas of development, which negatively affects the motivation to work. At the same time, to increase the level of social protection of workers, printing companies are introducing an hourly form of wages for workers, which helps to stabilize wages in underemployment. To ensure the competitiveness of printing production, it is advisable to ensure the efficiency of production by improving operational and calendar planning, the use of parallel or combined cycle, automation of orders, improving quality control in preparation for printing, development of logistics capacity, focus on high level of services.

The marketing complex is proposed to be considered as a set of eight interconnected elements inherent in the service sector: product, price, promotion, distribution, material environment, physical evidence, process and personnel. It is established that the greatest impact of digitalization of education is the material environment of educational services, which is almost completely transformed into a virtual environment: material facilities and equipment will be replaced by platforms for video conferencing and distance learning platforms, which will reduce the cost of educational services and will enable educational institutions to finance funds for development, in particular, the part of the environment that should remain material (laboratories for training medical students, pharmacists, training facilities for actors, etc.). There will be significant changes in the organization of the educational process, in particular, the problems of organizing this process in space will disappear, learning will involve a combination of online communications and the use of distance learning platforms, there will be multichannel communication with teachers, geographical barriers will disappear, including in the organization of meetings with professional specialists and stakeholders, the level of comfort will increase due to the integration of learning in the home space.

Published: October 2021

The article considers the problem of new, modified, inflation processes manifestation in the present-day market environment. Modern approaches to the inflation processes analysis are brought to light. In particular, the problems of inflation detection, causes of inflation, anti-inflation policy and acceptable level of inflation for countries with different levels of market development are revealed. Attention is paid to modern directions of inflation research. Manifestations of inflation processes modifications are determined in the article, penetration into economy related fields such as educational, social, intellectual, etc. are revealed. The focus is set on the necessity of a new look at these processes, in particular it concerns the emergence of modern, scantily explored categories, such as “shrinkflation” and “panflation”, which require more thorough research. It is proved that inflation processes in the monetary environment acquire new qualities as a result of the active development of cryptocurrencies varieties which operate outside of state regulation. Inflation processes deepen in the financial environment due to the state uncontrolled spread of financial innovation instruments (derivatives), characterized by separation from their ontological, material basis. In today’s financial markets, speculative transactions with innovative products are not directly related to production, which provokes constant financial instability. It is shown that the modern economy – the knowledge economy in Ukraine is exposed to inflation processes, which manifest themselves in the devaluation of the human capital role as a factor of production. The entire educational sphere in its various manifestations is devaluated, in particular, productive learning time, knowledge level, its assessment, educational documentation and moral and ethical standards of scientific activity is depreciated.
It is shown that these processes lead to the depreciation of labour costs and the gap with the level of education. The peculiarities of these processes influence on the Ukrainian economy development are revealed. It is stated that ignoring these manifestations of panflation processes leads to their reproduction, expansion and penetration into new spheres.

Given the prolonged national and transnational market turbulence, which is observed in most sectors of the economy, one of the biggest threats to the financial and economic security of most countries is the presence of a significant volume of shadow operations. The consequences of their implementation are the lack of tax revenues in the budget and the reduction of the country's financial viability in financing economic development programs.

Authors: Bobrovska Olena
Published: October 2021

The specific character of reproducing and maintaining the quality and productivity of technical resources is considered from the point of view of their economic essence and economic behavior in the production process. The views of domestic and foreign scientists are analyzed regarding the subject-functional and monetary definition of the enterprises’ capital, а part of which is the cost of technical resources. Understanding the properties of technical resources as a part of the enterprise total capital allowed identifying the basic statements. The relationship between the reproduction of technical resources and their total value in the process of functioning, namely the turnover and transition of their monetary equivalent to the material equivalent and vice versa has been shown. The steps of movement of the technical resources monetary equivalent are presented and considered in three stages: formation of the stage, at which the enterprise money capital is transformed into technical resources; the stage of technical resources production use and that of resources conversion into monetary form in the process of which the relationship between the state of technical resources capabilities and their cost characteristics changes. The character of economic transformations in the process of movement is described; the method of creating and adding cash flow formed by technical resource, to the money capital of the enterprise is considered. It has been proposed to use a linear rate depreciation accounting, from the beginning of the technical resources acquisition and throughout useful life using of the capital discount rate, in order to prevent partial loss of value of the initial capital invested in technical resources. It has been shown that the use of technical resources is expedient until the value of the monetary product is equal to their discounted price. The research pursued showed that for timely innovative reproduction of technical resources as part of the enterprise capital cost, these resources must perform the main function – that of forming additional value (additional profit).
ESSENCE AND QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION OF THE EXPORT POTENTIAL OF THE ENTERPRISE
Authors: Fedotova Yuliia
Published: October 2021

Today, there is an objective need to study foreign economic activity in terms of developing methodological approaches to assessing its effectiveness, especially export-import operations, which are its basis. The existing system of traditional indicators of economic analysis, the basis for calculating, which is the financial statements of the enterprise, gives an incomplete understanding of the activities of the enterprise to increase the efficiency of management. The first step in analyzing the problem of the study is to consider the economic category "export potential". Historically, the first is the resource concept of potential formation, originating from macroeconomic theory, which focuses on the transformation of resources within the economic system. The next step is an effective concept. The concept of the export potential of the enterprise is quite complex, since it combines the interpretation of such economic categories as «competitive potential», «production potential», «potential of export activity», as well as «financial potential». In its study, it will be necessary to proceed from the fact that the export potential of the enterprise is a set of available resources and opportunities to produce competitive products, its implementation and maintenance and foreign markets both in the short and long term. These factors have a significant impact on the competitiveness of the enterprise, its ability to produce goods in specified volumes. To assess the export potential, methods of sum of all warehouses of exports of the enterprise and the "system of eight indicators" were proposed, including: efficiency of export products production, share of profit from export of products in the total volume of profits of the enterprise, profitability of export sales, share of exports in the total volume of sales of the enterprise' products, competitiveness of the manufacturer, share of products certified according to international standards, share of innovations products, the share of products sent to foreign countries. According to the first approach, quantitative assessment of export potential (EP) is defined as the sum of all ingredients of the company's exports in value terms.

FINANCIAL IMPERATIVES OF QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE POPULATION IN UKRAINE IN CONDITIONS OF INCLUSIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Barannyk Liliia , Dulik Tatyana , Alexandriuk Tatyana
Published: October 2021

The main financial imperatives of the quality of life of the population in Ukraine are considered in the article. Different approaches to quality of life assessment are shown. The minimum state social standards - the subsistence level, the minimum wage and the minimum pension - were taken as financial imperatives for the study. It is proved that the official subsistence level is much lower than the actual one, so it does not allow to maintain life at a normal level, as well as to provide reliable social protection. The authors argue that it is necessary to reconsider the methodological approach to its definition. Most items in the approved consumer basket in Ukraine do not take into account the vital costs determined by modern realities. The dynamics of the minimum wage in Ukraine in 2010-2021 is presented. During this period, its annual growth on the average on 500 hryvnias is observed. It is noted that the growth rate of household income was higher than the growth rate of GDP, and this is contrary to basic economic patterns. During 2017-2021, it was possible to increase the size of the minimum wage in Ukraine, which became more than 2 times the subsistence level, but it remains 15 times lower than in developed countries. The authors concluded that the usual voluntary increase in the minimum wage will increase contributions to the state budget for some time, but this cannot be the only and permanent way to improve the quality of life and it does not affect all segments of the working population. The analysis of the minimum pension showed that it is currently equal to the subsistence level for disabled people, so it does not guarantee pensioners a normal quality of life, the minimum pension is 1.8 million pensioners, a quarter of Ukrainian pensioners (2.7 million) continue to work. The causal relationship between inclusive economic growth and improving the welfare of the population is shown. The leitmotif of the article is the idea that improving the quality of life of the population should not occur only in the plane of distributive relations. The authors substantiate that economic reforms should be carried out for the sake of increasing employment; the usual nominal increase in financial imperatives of quality of life will not lead to its significant improvement.

Authors: Bogdan Siniša , Šikić Luka , Bareša Suzana
Published: October 2021

This paper analyses the bankruptcy prediction based on the population of companies representative of the total business sector in Croatia. The representativity of the sample is achieved through the propensity score matching of the full population of bankrupt and similar non-bankrupt companies. The robust estimation of bankruptcy prediction is carried out through the multiple discriminant analysis (MDA) and logistic regression (logit). The results indicate high classification accuracy of both models, but more favourable performance of the logit estimation. Overall accuracy of the MDA model was 73.7%, while the overall accuracy of the logit model was 76.3%. The results serve as a bankruptcy estimation benchmark for the business sector in Croatia.
The investment-saving puzzle in MENA countries
Authors: Alzoubi Marwan , Kasasbeh Hamad A.
Published: October 2021

The paper disentangles gross savings into government and private savings and investigate their impact on gross investment. Our methodology is based on a balanced panel of four MENA countries (Tunisia, Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon) for the period 2000-2017 by employing the Panel Vector Autoregressive Model (PVAR). Our findings show that government savings as a ratio of GDP does not have any impact on investment while private savings as a ratio of GDP does. Both variables exhibit the correct signs. The results also show that mobility of private saving is high and seemingly statistically inconsistent with the Fielstein and Horioka (1980) puzzle. Our paper also reveals that even though OECD countries are more open than our sample countries, the higher capital mobility of our sample is driven by the economic and political instability in the region.

Language maintenance of the Javanese language in a song named Lathi can pique the public's interest in learning Javanese by creating Javanese language maintenance represented in its song lyrics. It makes the Javanese language gain popularity in the community, particularly among students and young people. It is, of course, a good sign of minimizing the threat of language shift.  The continuous use of the local language as a language maintenance effort will avoid losing the community's first language
