Authors:   West Ukrainian National University, Liakhovych Larysa
Published: February 2023

The article is devoted to the problem of formation of strategic behavior of companies, development of effective business strategies in the context of ensuring their survival, recovery and qualitative renewal. To achieve the objectives of the study, the following general scientific methods were used: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, comparison. The state and problems faced by domestic companies after the beginning of the war in Ukraine are analyzed. It is established that the business that is focused on the local market, in particular micro-, small- and medium-sized businesses, whose financial strength margin is smaller or much smaller compared to large businesses, has been particularly affected. In these conditions, companies should make effective managerial decisions on the formation of their strategic behavior, the implementation of which is conditionally divided into three consecutive stages: to survive, to keep the business "afloat"; to recover, to adapt to new realities; and thirdly, to lay the foundation and successfully update in the future. The company's strategy should meet its main objectives at a particular stage, reflect what the business needs to operate, and the success of its implementation will be determined by the appropriate "decision tree", which focuses on how, given the situation, to effectively confront the main challenges, resume work and function effectively. It is proposed that at the stage of survival, companies should implement a reduction strategy with an emphasis on capital preservation and cost reduction. At the stage of recovery, it is advisable for companies to implement a stabilization strategy, form a clear program of measures to restore the business, carry out a full or partial change in the business configuration, build new operating models, apply methods and technologies to expand the customer base, establish logistics and effective communications, enter new markets or expand existing ones, build strong relationships with partners, use new technologies for the organization of production and labor. At the stage of renewal, the company should implement certain strategic changes within the growth strategy that will optimize business processes and update the business model. It is concluded that the choice of alternative strategic behavior of the company and justification of business strategy is one of the key factors of its success at the stages of survival, recovery and renewal.

Authors:   National University «Lviv Polytechnic», Gnylianska Lesia
Published: February 2023

The article substantiates and develops practical recommendations on the peculiarities of the development of international cooperation between domestic and German dairy enterprises, in particular international cooperation ALC "Ivano-Frankivsk City Dairy Plant". Since international relations are the part of social relations that crosses the borders of state borders. International relations form the structure of the international system. The main factors for the development of the IER include: heterogeneity of natural, geographical, demographic, economic conditions, different security of material, labor, financial and other resources; deepening the international social division of labor in general, special and single forms, in particular international specialization, a significant expansion of the product range; increasing the efficiency of national production due to the influence of foreign economic activity (in particular, international trade); the need to at least partially overcome the growing gap between highly developed and underdeveloped countries in the formation of a holistic world economy; deepening the global environmental crisis, which can only be alleviated or overcome by the joint efforts of all countries; increasing power and strengthening the role of international economic; public parties with their demands for deepening cooperation between different countries. International cooperation reflects a process dominated by a common search for opportunities to pursue the interests of all stakeholders. This is a joint activity, joint work to achieve a goal, which is based on the presence of trust in the relationship between partners. When developing a strategy, it is always necessary to take into account the existing level of the enterprise in all areas, taking into account the influence of the external and internal environment of the organization and factors affecting its dynamics. It should be noted that international business activity is mainly focused on the implementation of specific measures by expanding existing markets, services, capital, labor, a thorough search for new sources of production and financial resources, diversification of all economic activities, etc. It is these main motivations for carrying out versatile business operations outside state borders that form the structure of international business, which is a certain system of interconnections of types, forms and methods of implementing international, functioning in a certain direction of international trade relations, dynamic movement and rational use of financial and labor resources within the global interdependent economic system.
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES OF ECO-INNOVATION COMPANIES IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY
Authors:   Pridniprovska State Academy if Civil Engineering and Architecture, Chala Veronika
Published: February 2023

The article emphasizes that global eco-innovative companies not only actively develop internal competencies based on financing their own research and development, but also attract large-scale external financing for their green R&D, while implementing a number of investment strategies. The author identifies the most promising of them, which require additional study from the point of view of understanding the prospects of applying such strategies for Ukrainian eco-business. An analysis of the investment strategy of attracting capital of accredited institutional investors, which is considered the most effective investment strategy of eco-innovative companies in scientific circles, has been carried out in the article. The main advantages of this strategy are low market entry barriers, wide opportunities to save transaction costs, and a significant increase in own liquidity and the raising the scale of the capital, thanks to their institutional sources. The author claims that the modern financing of eco-innovations by accredited institutional investors has led to the development in global coordinates of a qualitatively new field of scientific and technological activity related to the institutionalization of the process of circulation of capital assets on the global market of green innovations. The venture financing as another effective investment strategy of eco-innovative companies has been characterized in the article. The author has emphasized the completion of the process of forming a mature model of the climate technology market in the structure of the global venture market. The growth of the average value of deals has been defined as a specific feature of the modern stage of venture capital investment of climate start-ups. It has been proven that the international competition between investors for climate technologies has intensified significantly. “Mergers and acquisitions” strategy is characterized by the author as one of the effective investment strategies in ensuring the concentration and centralization of capital, strengthening financial stability, as well as increasing competitive positions in various segments of the global market of green innovative developments. It has been proven that mergers and acquisitions allow eco-innovation companies to achieve not only significant savings in financial costs for green technological developments, but also to significantly reduce the time lag for the development of green technological innovations. Finally, the article analyzes the investment strategy of creating green fundraising and crowdfunding platforms. The high efficiency of this strategy in terms of finding and attracting investment resources in the green innovation sector, which is carried out through the channels of so-called "crowd funding", has been proved.

Authors:   Odessa National Economic University, Klievtsievych Natalііa
Published: February 2023

The article defines that one of the alternatives to the linear model of production and consumption, the existence of which provoked the global problems of today, is the concept of the economy of closed cycles or the circular economy, which provides for resource-efficient production and consumption, the preservation of products and their parts in closed production and sales cycles and reduction of the negative consequences of human activity for the environment, which determined the relevance of the article. The essence and main purpose of using closed-loop business models is considered. On the basis of a critical analysis of research on this issue, the signs of such business models are highlighted. The prerequisites for the transition to the economy of closed cycles, as one of the most important mechanisms for overcoming the global problems of humanity, are analyzed. The main areas of the emergence of circular business models are characterized, the development of which will improve the forecast of global economic development (due to the reduction of resource limitations to growth and the creation of additional value in various sectors). The possibilities of using circular business models in modern conditions by Ukrainian companies, depending on the sphere of their activity, are revealed. The existing classifications of circular economy business models are considered.The classification developed by Accenture specialists, under the auspices of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, focused on the implementation of technologies that contribute to the use of fewer resources for the production of products and / or services, was examined and analyzed in detail; extending the service life of existing products and/or services through repair and restoration; completing the life cycle of products by recycling them. This was achieved using general scientific methods (system analysis, formalization) and methods of economic and statistical analysis (graphical, grouping, classification); A conclusion was made about the need to apply the analyzed techniques to Ukrainian realities. The main elements of the circular production process were systematized. The practical value of the conducted research lies in the possibility of developing a "roadmap" for the transition to a circular economy at different levels of public administration, as well as the strategy of long-term and sustainable development of individual companies.

Published: February 2023

The article reveals the essence of the concept of hypothesis and the differences between hypothesis and prediction, where predictions are often seen as predictions, and the hypothesis as a reasonable assumption, tested and confirmed by research. Its characteristics are formed: it should be simple but clear to look reliable and justified enough; should be written in an explanatory form and should preserve and reflect the space for further research and experimentation. Identified sources that can be referred to when creating a hypothesis for research: research papers and theories on the subject, observations from previous experiments and recent theories, general paradigms that run through the field of research on a particular topic, similarities and relativity between different research topics. Formulated types of hypotheses: an alternative hypothesis with two subcategories, which include directed, used in cases where you want to establish a relationship between different variables, and without direction, undirected, alternative hypothesis, which does not provide any direction for the expected results; null hypothesis, which determines the opposite of the expected results or results throughout the study; a simple hypothesis that reflects the relationship between dependent and independent variables; complex hypothesis, which assumes the relationship between several dependent or independent variables set out in the research problem; empirical hypothesis, which is a "working hypothesis" and is tested by experiment and observation; statistical hypothesis which is explained after studying the sample of the population. The identified steps to create a convincing hypothesis argue that it is necessary to identify and clearly describe the research question, conduct a primary, preliminary study, draft the first hypothesis, revise the hypothesis, create a three-dimensional phrase hypothesis, create a null hypothesis.
STRATEGIZING OF POSTWAR DEVELOPMENT OF INFANT MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES
Authors:   State Organization “Institute for Economics and Forecasting of NAS of Ukraine”, Tsyplitska Olena
Published: February 2023

The article studies the role and approaches to strategizing the post-war development of innovative activities in the industrial sector. It was determined that the emergence of new industries that supply innovative high-tech products is an integral part of the qualitative technological restructuring of the national industry, which is able to lead the Ukrainian economy in the post-war period along the vector of long-term economic growth. The experience of developed countries, which due to differences in approaches to supporting the innovative activities (highly coordinated – in Germany and low-coordinated – in Great Britain and the USA) and the characteristics of the institutional environment, had uneven success in creating strategic industries, was considered. The inflexibility of labor relations and the active promotion of the development of the local innovation ecosystem along with the implementation of a number of large-scale programs such as "BioRegio" allowed Germany to strengthen the position of innovative entrepreneurship in the field of biotechnology over time. In Great Britain, the biotechnological industry, due to the lack of government regulation and support for start-ups, has deteriorated its position on the world market. Developing countries, Brazil and China, demonstrate the need to implement a comprehensive strategy for growing new industries. Partial solutions and insufficient incentives in Brazil have become the reason for inhibiting the development of high-tech goods markets. And thorough planning in China gradually pushes new industries in their innovative development. Recommendations have been developed for the formation of tasks and the use of separate tools for strategic planning of the post-war recovery and industrial sector restructuring in Ukraine. They include strategizing the development of new industries during military operations, the introduction of technological innovations, state innovative procurement of domestic defense and civil developments, international production cooperation with partners from the main markets – the EU, the Middle East, the USA, Asia, and the use of a number of state industrial policy instruments to stimulate the scaling up of production and exports of new industries, as well as attracting investments and highly qualified personnel.

Published: February 2023

The article analyzes the export-import potential of the grain product sub-complex of the agro-industrial complex. A positive trend in the development of Ukraine's international trade and economic relations has been established, and the strengthening of the EU country's role in bilateral trade of products of the grain sub-complex, the share of which is increasing not only in exports but also in imports, has been substantiated. An analysis of the export of cereals, legumes (with products of their processing), and flour from Ukraine was carried out. In the process of writing the article, various general scientific and unique research methods were applied: economic analysis and comparison for the study of parts of individual types of products of the product subcommittee of the agricultural industry in Ukraine in export and import from EU countries; graphic method - for a visual representation of the results of data analysis of export and import activity; abstract-logical method - for theoretical generalizations and formation of conclusions; a process of analogies, tabular - for substantiation of the leading importer countries of domestic grain, economic and statistical - search and analysis of export and import activity of Ukraine during the war period. It is substantiated that during the last period, there was a strategic reorientation of the domestic export of grain and its processing products from the markets of the CIS countries and the Russian Federation to the needs of the countries of Asia and the European Union. It has been established that the preponderance of export volumes of products of the grain product sub-complex of the agro-industrial complex over the books of its volume is significant, which partially proves the import of the proposed hypothesis. The Russian-Ukrainian war stimulated problems with the stability of logistics chains that ensured the export of the grain product sub-complex, which in turn led to increased prices for agricultural products. It has been proven that the blockade of Ukrainian ports in the Black Sea makes trade over such a long distance somewhat problematic. The results of this study are of interest to higher education institutions seeking to improve agricultural supply chains; practices of the farm sector, which are aimed at the optimal cost of transportation of agricultural products. The author's research emphasizes the importance of the export-import potential of the products of the grain product sub-complex. It ensures the systematization of the problem of food supply chains.

Published: February 2023

In modern conditions of crisis phenomena, there is a need to transition to sustainable functioning of enterprises. The effectiveness and sustainability of their activities is ensured by the formation of structures in which each element performs certain functions and tasks in order to achieve the set goals. Achieving the target results requires analysis and evaluation of system elements, setting the necessary parameters, structuring them in the given direction of development according to the established methodology. The purpose of the article is to determine the differentiated and integrated impact of operating costs on the efficiency of enterprises, the formation of a decomposed model of sustainable economic development of enterprises in the hotel and restaurant business. In the research process, general scientific and special methods were used, including correlation-regression, statistical, decomposition analysis, methods of economic-mathematical modeling. The article proposes systemic and system and loss approaches, aimed at the formation of target functions of individual types of activities and business processes of hotel and restaurant business enterprises to ensure the selection of optimal development options and increase the efficiency of operational activities. This made it possible to assess and forecast the features of the component (differentiated) and integrated interaction of processes and their elements on the intermediate and final results of operational activities. Based on the results of the analysis, a decomposition model of the sustainable economic development of enterprises in the hotel and restaurant sector was created, which allows assessing the step-by-step effect of individual economic factors and their combination on the reduction of resource costs, the progressive development of their potential based on certain types of capital investments. This ensures the renewal of the material and technical base, the use of reserves of available resources, the improvement of the efficiency of the operational activities of enterprises, and, therefore, their sustainable economic development. The created model makes it possible to establish trends in economic growth and development of business processes, assess the potential of resources and forecast the results of activities based on decomposition analysis.

This article is devoted to the analysis of the place and role of these processes in ensuring the sustainable socio-economic development of the region. Investments are the main tool that allows solving the problems of increasing the efficiency of the economy, implementing structural changes, implementing modern achievements of technical progress, and improving economic security indicators. Innovative security of the region is one of the most important elements of economic security. The issue of innovative security acquires special importance due to the fact that currently innovative technologies and processes of their implementation are of critical importance for improving the quality of life, expanding development opportunities and ensuring the national security of all states without exception. In most economically developed countries, research devoted to the problems of national and economic security has been conducted for a long time. Moreover, the innovative component in these studies is considered as a component of economic or scientific-technical (scientific-technological) security. Successful innovative activity is impossible without a system of effective state regulation, which includes the creation of a legislative framework, the selection of priority areas of innovative activity, financial support, and the creation of appropriate infrastructure. The influence of innovations is realized through the achievement of the goals of ensuring the country's security, among which is the dynamic and progressive development of the economy. The state innovation policy should ensure the transfer of technological innovations to the process of formation of the system of market factors of production. It was established that the economic security of the region depends on its ability to perceive innovations, while institutional factors significantly affect the pace of development.

Published: February 2023

The article is devoted to research and development of directions of optimization of taxation of agricultural producers in Ukraine. The research methodology is based on both general scientific and special methods of research, namely: Logical generalization, system, indoution, dedukation, analysis, synthesis, classification, grouping, etc. The existence of any business entity during its entire life cycle is connected with the payment of taxes. At the same time, economic entities strive to optimize the size of these payments. The modern stage of human development is characterized by the rapid development of digital technologies, which causes changes in tax processes. The global shift toward digital transformation and cloud-based applications provides unprecedented opportunities for tax optimization. However, implementation of these opportunities requires the involvement of professionals who have experience in both tax and digital technologies. Small agricultural enterprises are largely unable to have such specialists in their staff. In such a situation, it is expedient to cooperate with agricultural advisory services, whose staff consists of highly skilled workers in different spheres. The staff of advisory services provide advice on analysis and resolution of issues by presenting the necessary information, carry out actions on stimulation of introduction of innovations, etc. A significant difference between advisory services and other consulting services is that they provide advice on a wide range of issues and are mostly free for the client. Delegating complex and variate tasks to the advisor allows to consider tax transformation as a whole, closely interwoven system of evolution of business operations and strategies based on the use of digital technologies. The presence of highly qualified employees in the staff of advisory services ensures the possibility to develop and implement an individual tax strategy taking into account the peculiarities of the taxpayer's activity, to improve the work with fiscal authorities, to make fuller use of the possibilities of digital technologies.

Female Traditional Gender Roles in The Brothers Grimms' Sleeping Beauty
Authors: Tanusy Jeanyfer , Tanto Trisnowati
Published: February 2023

The tale of the Sleeping Beauty is still one of the well-loved and popular fairy tales among children, especially girls. The story has been adapted into various versions but has not changed essentially—it is always about a princess saved from a curse, about good versus bad. Due to the simple nature of the story, most literary researchers no longer deem this story a valuable source of data anymore although there are still more to uncover from the fairy tale. This study attempts to examine how the female characters in the story are represented from the structural semiotics perspective using two theories proposed by A. J. Greimas, namely the Actantial Model and the Narrative Trajectory. The qualitative method is applied to interpretatively divide the story into different major events, from which an actantial diagram and a trajectory can be made before the representation is drawn. The findings suggest that the female characters in the story are mostly placed as an object of the actantial diagram and a goal in the trajectory; this means that the story puts the female characters in passive roles that comply to the traditional gender roles and female stereotypes.

Cusatuzumab is a high-affinity, anti-CD70 monoclonal antibody under investigation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This two-part, open-label, multicenter, phase I/II trial evaluated cusatuzumab plus azacitidine in patients with newly diagnosed AML ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. Patients received a single dose of cusatuzumab at one of four dose levels (1, 3, 10, or 20 mg/kg) 14 days before starting combination therapy. In phase I dose escalation, cusatuzumab was then administered on days 3 and 17, in combination with azacitidine (75 mg/m2) on days 1-7, every 28 days. The primary objective in phase I was to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of cusatuzumab plus azacitidine. The primary objective in phase II was efficacy at the RP2D (selected as 10 mg/kg). Thirty-eight patients were enrolled: 12 in phase I (three per dose level; four with European LeukemiaNet 2017 adverse risk) and 26 in phase II (21 with adverse risk). An objective response (≥partial remission) was achieved by 19/38 patients (including 8/26 in phase II); 14/38 achieved complete remission. Eleven patients (37.9%) achieved an objective response among the 29 patients in phase I and phase II treated at the RP2D. At a median follow-up of 10.9 months, median duration of first response was 4.5 months and median overall survival was 11.5 months. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events were infections (84.2%) and hematologic toxicities (78.9%). Seven patients (18.4%) reported infusion-related reactions, including two with grade 3 events. Thus, cusatuzumab/azacitidine appears generally well tolerated and shows preliminary efficacy in this setting. Investigation of cusatuzumab combined with current standard-of-care therapy, comprising venetoclax and azacitidine, is ongoing.

The purpose of the study was to assess the influence of inventory returns management on performance of food and beverage manufacturing firms in Kenya. Descriptive research design was adopted because it allowed an in-depth study of the subject. The target population was heads of procurement in the food and beverage manufacturing firms in Kenya. A sample of 132 food and beverage manufacturing firms was arrived at out of a total of 197 food and beverage manufacturing firms. R square value of 0.6 means that 60% of the corresponding variation in food and beverage manufacturing firms in Kenya can be explained or predicted by (refurbishment management, materials re-use management, waste management and re-manufacturing management) which indicated that the model fitted the study data. The results of regression analysis revealed that there was a significant positive relationship between dependent variable and independent variable at (β = 0.6), p=0.000 <0.05). The findings of the study concluded that refurbishment management, materials re-use management, waste management and re-manufacturing management have a positive relationship with performance of food and beverage manufacturing firms in Kenya. The study recommended that food and beverage manufacturing firms should embrace inventory returns management aspects so as to improve performance and further researches should to be carried out in other firms to find out if the same results can be obtained.

This study aimed to reveal the correlation between emotional representation and alexithymia (emotional loss) and their relationship to post-traumatic stress disorder in Karak Governorate, and to identify the level of alexithymia (emotional loss) in a sample of Syrian refugee children in Karak Governorate, and identify the level of emotional representation in a sample Children of Syrian refugees in Al-Karak Governorate, and to identify the level of post-traumatic stress disorder among the children of Syrian refugees in Al-Karak Governorate. The descriptive analytical-relational approach was used to achieve the objectives of the study. The study sample consisted of (200) male and female refugees from the children of Syrian refugees in Al-Karak governorate who were chosen by the available method. The level of emotional representation among the children of Syrian refugees was medium, and the results showed that the level of post-traumatic stress disorder among the children of Syrian refugees was moderate. At the level of significance (α≤0.05) between the emotional representation scale and the post-traumatic stress disorder scale, the study presented a set of recommendations, including conducting follow-up studies to track the level of post-traumatic stress disorder among Syrian refugees at different age groups.
