THEORETICAL BASIS OF CHANGE MANAGEMENT IN THE ORGANIZATION
Authors: HAVLOVSKA Nataliia , SEMENCHENKO Vitaliy , YABLONSKY Taras , HYMENNA Emma ,   Khmelnytskyi National University
Published: May 2023

The article examines the existing models of change management, in particular: the model of business transformations by K. Levin, the ADKAR model by D. Hiatt, the McKinsey model, the 8 forces model by J. Kotter, theory E and theory O, the iceberg model of change management by V. Kruger, the transition model of V. Bridges. K. Levin’s business transformation model is one of the most popular and successful change management models and includes 3 stages of the change process, namely: 1) (unfreezing, 2) changes, 3) freezing. ADKAR model – author D. Hayatt, includes 5 stages, in particular: 1) awareness – awareness of the need for changes; 2) desire – desire to support and participate in changes; 3) knowledge – knowledge of how to change; 4) ability – the ability to acquire new skills; 5) reinforcement (compensation) – support for the consolidation of changes. The McKinsey 7-S model contains seven interrelated elements: 1) common values, 2) skills, 3) personnel, 4) style, 5) strategy, 6) structure, 7) systems. J. Kotter’s 8 forces model is following: 1) create a sense of urgency, 2) build a governing coalition, 3) create a strategic vision and initiatives, 4) recruit an army of volunteers, 5) activate action by removing barriers, 6) generate short-term victories, 7) sustain achievements, 8) institutionalize changes. E Theory and O Theory of organizational changes by Michael Berr and Nitin Nohria single out two polar concepts of organizational development, each of which defines a corresponding change strategy. E Theory starts from financial goals and focuses on their effective achievement, O Theory considers the organization as a self-developing system and is more focused on the corporate culture, goals and motives of the organization’s employees. The iceberg model of change management, which was proposed by W. Krüger, allows you to form types of change implementation based on the type of changes and the strategy that should be applied. V. Bridges’ model of transition is more focused on transition than on change and consists of 3 stages: 1) ending, loss and letting go of the lost, 2) neutral zone, 3) new beginning. Appropriate conclusions have been drawn.

Authors:   Sumy National Agrarian University, KRASNORUTSKYY Oleksiy
Published: May 2023

In modern conditions, opening a business based on the principles of craft technologies is relevant for agricultural producers of Ukraine, because it allows to reduce the risks of security issues and unemployment. Economic processes in the country are changing very quickly, customer requests for unique products and quality are undergoing transformations. Therefore, managing the brand of craft producers will provide an opportunity to find effective ways to optimize costs and efforts to enter new local markets, including foreign ones. The purpose of the study is to determine the current state and strategic aspects of the development of branding based on craft technologies of agricultural enterprises. The existence of an inseparable synergistic effect from a positive brand of a craft product of an agricultural enterprise for both the business entity itself and the consumer is substantiated. This can be traced through the corresponding economic and social result (profit, expenses, satisfaction of needs, emotions). Particular attention is paid to such a feature of a craft product as the personal participation of the owner in its production. The image of such a key person will determine the direction of branding and the perception of its development. The situation that has developed in Ukraine with the organization of craft productions has been analyzed and the most developed types of activities in the agricultural sector have been identified (bakery and confectionery, alcoholic beverages, cheese and dairy products, meat, honey products and canned goods). The main difficulties are related to unsatisfactory marketing, financial difficulties, uncertainty due to military aggression. The strategic aspects of agribusiness that should be planned by the manager in the context of the introduction of craft technologies are substantiated and analyzed: (strategy and tactics of a new type of activity based on craft technology; choosing the location of an agricultural enterprise; choosing suppliers; sources of financing and assessing the impact of craft product development on the image of an agricultural enterprise).

Authors:   Leonid Yuzkov Khmelnytskyi University of Management and Law, PIKHNYAK Tatiana
Published: May 2023

The article analyzes the importance of the functioning of small business as one of the important sectors of the economy during the Russian-Ukrainian war. Their activities in partially occupied, front-line, support and safe regions were studied, in particular: the number of registered individual entrepreneurs, active individual entrepreneurs, individual entrepreneurs who ceased their activities in 2021-2023. State support measures for small business entities were considered: direct payments from the budget, tax preferences, preferential loans, measures to reduce administrative pressure. Attention is focused on one of the types of support for business entities during martial law – tax preferences. Their role and importance in the activities of enterprises that are on the simplified taxation system is determined and the importance of the mentioned support is proven. It is accepted to pay attention to the current tax legislation – the Tax Code of Ukraine regarding preferences for the simplified tax payers of the first, second and third groups. The tax preferences for four groups of taxpayers who are on the simplified taxation system in 2022 were considered according to the following indicators: the maximum amount of income per year, the rate of a single tax, the amount of a single contribution (per month), documentary checks, sanctions for violating tax legislation and non-use of cash registers (registrars of settlement transactions). The revenues and expenditures of the budget in 2021-2022 and their impact on the country’s economy were analyzed. Problems of the development of small enterprises in Ukraine and ways of increasing the efficiency of their activities in modern market conditions are highlighted: introduction of tax incentives for local production of important products in Ukraine; exemption from taxation of materials and equipment necessary for the modernization of production; preferences for relocated enterprises or those that continue to employ internally displaced persons; formation of additional credit support programs for business entities.

Authors:   Live University of Trade and Economics, SAPOZHNYK Dmytro
Published: May 2023

The article discusses the problems and modern aspects of identification of counterfeit products, as well as the problems arising in the course of combating counterfeit goods. It is stated that if the manufacture, distribution or other use, as well as import, transportation or storage of material media containing the result of intellectual activity or means of individualization lead to infringement of the exclusive right to such result or means, such material media are considered counterfeit. The author shows that importation and distribution of counterfeit products are primarily associated with falsification of quantitative and qualitative indicators of goods in order to understate the customs value of goods, which significantly affects the calculation of customs duties. At the same time, up to 80% of goods in circulation in the domestic market are related to copyright or patent infringement, and in certain groups of goods in circulation, 30 to 50% are actually counterfeit or falsified. The author analyzes the damage caused by counterfeit products to the country’s economy and business. It is noted that an integrated approach is needed to combat counterfeit products, detect and prevent their import and export, and the following measures are worthy of attention: improvement of interaction between customs authorities and right holders; improvement of the regulatory framework in the field of intellectual property protection; raising the legal culture of citizens in the field of intellectual property; introduction of new technical means of control and information transfer; improvement of the procedure for declaration and commodity expertise. It is stated that the main aspects of modern identification of counterfeit products are: determination of the homogeneity of the presented sample of goods to the registered goods (specified in the certificate). The goods compared in the course of examination may be recognized as heterogeneous, homogeneous, identical, close to identity; determination of identity or similarity of goods, including possible mixing (degree of mixing) of multi-component products.

Published: May 2023

The article examines the state of internal trade of Ukraine. Internal trade of Ukraine, like any developed country, is characterized by rapid dynamics, reaction to changes in the country’s economy, and depends on many factors. The dynamics of domestic trade turnover during 2019-2021 and its structure are shown. The indicator of wholesale turnover increased from 2,322.2 to 3,153.2 billion hryvnias, i.e. by 36%, during the studied period. During the same period, retail turnover increased by 32% – from 793.5 in 2019 to 1044.5 in 2021. In the structure of sold wholesale goods, imported products prevail — from 56.7% in 2019 to 52.4% in 2020 and 54.6% in 2021. The positive balance is maintained at the expense of food products, which were sold for about 90% of domestic production. Taking into account the current state of our country and the fact that a large number of enterprises have stopped their work due to the occupation of the territory or the destruction caused, we can say that the share of imported products will grow. In the structure of sold goods in retail trade, domestic products prevail, especially in the food group, where 80% of goods produced in Ukraine accounted for 2019, 79.4% in 2020, and 77.6% in 2021. In today’s conditions, there is a large number of resellers operating on the market of Ukraine, which differ from each other both in terms of scale of activity and organizational and economic forms, the list of performed functions, specialization, etc. Domestic trade in Ukraine will continue to develop in the direction of forming more effective forms of trade organization. The development of domestic trade is impossible without effective state regulation.

Authors: SMOLINSKA Natalia , RAVOK Solomiia ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: May 2023

The article considered main trends of Ukrainian metallurgical industry development in wartime conditions. It was established that the world leaders in the metallurgical industry are China, India, Japan, the USA, North Korea, Ukraine lost its global position from 14th to 25th place. Crude steel production volumes in Ukraine decreased by 70.7%. Despite the fact that the EU steel industry remains a highly energy-intensive industry, in Europe this sector is characterized by modern energy-saving equipment that is able to produce products with high added value for the global market based on innovative metadata. The influence of the metallurgical industry of Ukraine on the inflow of foreign investments into the state’s balance of payments was studied. Today, the metallurgical industry in Ukraine is inferior to the agricultural industry. The main problems faced by the metallurgical industry of Ukraine in the conditions of Russia’s armed aggression are the complicated sales of products due to the blockade of sea ports. The main threats faced by enterprises of the metallurgical industry are: destruction of their assets, which led to a complete stoppage or partial operation of enterprises; lack of working capital; logistical restrictions due to the blockade of ports (about 65% of the exports of the enterprises’ products were carried out by sea); shortage of energy resources (attacks on critical infrastructure facilities brought Ukraine’s energy system to the point of total frugality). The Ukrainian mining and metallurgical complex managed to remain at the level of 15-30% of capacity in 2022, primarily due to the support of Western partners, who provided their ports and lowered trade barriers. The main realistic scenario of support for metallurgical enterprises today remains the prolongation of reduced tariff rates for Ukrainian products and the inclusion of enterprises in the national post-war reconstruction program in the following years.

The article deals with the theoretical and applied aspects of the processes of green investments as a mechanism of global sustainable development in conditions of significant aggravation of the environmental problem that impacts global economic progress. The paper reveals significant impact of the global environmental problem on the transformation of the forms of international competitive relations and the priorities of international economic policy. The scope, structure and key trends of green investment processes, as well as the factors that determine their dynamics in recent decades, are researched. In the context of green institutionalism considerable attention is paid to the issue of the modern institutional structure of green investments and the economic motivation of various types of financial intermediaries regarding their participation in green investment processes on global scale. Key trends in processes of green investment of global economic development are defined: 1) increase in the needs of governments and business sectors, institutional investors and households, in attracting sustainable capital to increase their level of competitiveness on national and global markets; 2) diversification of financial instruments as a result of the implementation of fundamental ecological transformations of national economies; 3) diversification of the institutional structure of the global financial market and appearance of new institutions; 4) deepening of geographical and instrumental asymmetries and gaps. The need to create a favourable environment of implementation of green investment projects is emphasized as it is attributed to the core of modern mechanism of achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Further scientific inquiries should investigate the effectiveness of instruments of environmental diplomacy of states in their close connection with green investments and growth of competition for global environmental leadership, the right to apply environmental sanctions and the formation of global environmental standards in the sphere of production and international trade.

Authors: TANASIIENKO Nataliia , НOLOVACH Tetiana , ZABOLOTNA Sofiіa ,   Khmelnytskyi National University
Published: May 2023

This article substantiates the feasibility of using an innovative system of total quality management (TQM) based on theoretical and methodological research. This system has proven its effectiveness in the global economic space. It helps to solve problems associated with increasing the production of high-quality products, the interest and motivation of employees, and also makes production management more effective. The experience of introducing this system by individual countries, in particular, Japan and the USA, is also considered. A comparison of the indicators of Japanese companies before and after the implementation of the TQM model is given. It was concluded that today the majority of domestic enterprises manage product quality in accordance with the principles of the ISO 9000 series. ISO standards are based on technical systems and procedures, but employee involvement and continuous improvement are optional. Unlike ISO, the TQM system involves prioritizing philosophy, concepts, tools and methodology, as well as involvement of all employees and a continuous improvement of quality. The possibility of adapting the TQM system to the practice of Ukrainian enterprises was investigated. Given the available resource potential, this is possible, but first of all, for this, it would be necessary to completely rethink the approach to the management of the organization and conduct trainings on familiarizing employees with the TQM system. Based on the analysis of the main technical and economic indicators of the « Agricultural company 2004» PE, it is proposed to apply the key principles of TQM, which were developed by the famous scientist E. Deming, to increase the efficiency of its activities.

Published: May 2023

Informatization in the field of management of the enterprise’s economic activity is carried out with the aim of increasing the productivity of employees by reducing the cost of products and services; as well as improving the qualifications and professional knowledge of specialists. The possibility of substantiating managerial decisions regarding the choice of information technologies using the methods of linguistic vector evaluations, fuzzy logical conclusion, and fuzzy relationship of preferences is considered. The method of applying the methods of linguistic vector evaluations and the fuzzy logical conclusion of evaluating possible values of management decisions when determining the expediency of introducing information technologies into the activities of economic entities in conditions of uncertainty (crisis) is presented. It was determined that the application of this method, with a simpler mathematical apparatus, allows to evaluate the possible variants of the values of management decisions with qualitative input parameters in crisis conditions. This technique allows you to predict the results of the enterprise for the case of quantitative information in relation to a number of input parameters, however, the mathematical apparatus for processing input information is quite complex. Therefore, it will be logical to check the possibility of applying other methods of the theory of fuzzy logic to solve the problems of evaluating the results of management decisions with qualitative input parameters

Published: May 2023

The article presents the main theoretical approaches and practical recommendations for the quantitative assessment of workers’ abilities to work. The essence of the assessment, principles and content of its conduct are revealed. Methodological recommendations have been developed for determining the index of the worker’s ability to work, which is a relative indicator that characterizes the ratio of normative labor costs that are absolutely necessary for a worker of some average ability to work to perform a specified job or a set of jobs in the operation cycle in the given organizational and technical conditions of production. to the labor costs that are actually spent by a specific worker with his inherent labor abilities when performing the same work or a set of works under similar production conditions. A step-by-step method of conducting a quantitative assessment is proposed and thorough methodological recommendations are given for determining the individual workload for each worker at different intervals of time, which he is able to systematically perform according to his work abilities for a certain time in certain organizational and technical conditions of production and exchange for a certain amount salary. It has been proven that the establishment of an individual regulatory workload for each worker requires the simultaneous division into component elements of both technological and labor processes, taking into account the personal abilities of workers to work. The role and significance of the quantitative assessment of workers’ abilities to work in the aspect of the most complete and effective use of each worker’s labor resource and the achievement of the highest labor productivity are highlighted.

COVID-19 Pandemie und soziale Ungleichheit: Hängt eine prekäre Finanzierungssituation mit sozialer Ungleichheit im Studium zusammen?
Authors: Lörz Markus , Becker Karsten
Published: May 2023

Im Zuge der COVID-19 Pandemie sind viele Studierende finanziell in eine prekäre Situation geraten. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschäftigt sich daher mit der Frage, ob bestimmte Studierendengruppen von diesen finanziellen Einschnitten stärker betroffen sind als andere und welche Konsequenzen dies möglicherweise für ihren weiteren Studienverlauf hat. Aus der Perspektive der rationalen Entscheidungstheorie wäre zu erwarten, dass die veränderten Studienbedingungen insbesondere Studierende aus weniger privilegiertem Elternhaus in eine prekäre Situation bringen und die sozialen Ungleichheiten hinsichtlich des weiteren Studienverlaufs zunehmen. Die theoretischen Überlegungen werden auf Basis einer bundesweiten Studierendenbefragung in Deutschland (2020) anhand logistischer Regressions- und Dekompositionsmodelle empirisch überprüft. Die Ergebnisse machen deutlich, dass die sozialen Unterschiede zwischen 2016 und 2020 zunehmen und mittlerweile Studierende aus Nicht-Akademikerfamilien signifikant häufiger beabsichtigen, das Studium abzubrechen, und von einer Verzögerung im weiteren Studienverlauf ausgehen. Insbesondere die schwieriger gewordene Finanzierungssituation der Eltern ist mit einem höheren (intendierten) Abbruchrisiko und Verzögerungen im Studienverlauf verbunden.

Authors: Kärchner Henrike , Gehle Maren , Schwinger Malte
Published: May 2023

Spätestens seit der Corona-Pandemie gehören digital gestützte Lehrveranstaltungen zum Alltag an deutschen Hochschulen. Im Zuge der Qualitätsentwicklung von Hochschullehre sollten Besonderheiten und Spezifika digitaler Lehre (z.B. räumliche Flexibilität) bei der Evaluation derartiger Lehrveranstaltungen angemessen berücksichtigt werden. Bisher verwendete Evaluationsinstrumente leisten dies nicht und bleiben zudem häufig einen Nachweis ihrer theoretischen Grundlage und psychometrischen Qualität schuldig. In der vorliegenden Studie werden daher die Entwicklung und psychometrischen Eigenschaften des eigens für digitale Lehr-Lernsettings konzipierten modularen Fragebogens MOFEDILLS vorgestellt. Evaluationsdaten aus vier hessischen Hochschulen (N = 1,604) stützen die angenommene faktorielle Stuktur und Messinvarianz sowie Objektivität, Reliabilität und Validität des neuen Instruments.
Geodesics as Equations of Motion
Authors: Aaberge Terje
Published: May 2023

The empirical description of the evolution of a physical system is the account of observed changes of state of the system in time, the measure of time being that of the Systeme International. To describe the Sun-Mercury system Einstein proposed a model based on the assumption that the evolution of the system, i.e. its relative space-time trajectory describes a geodesic on space-time endowed with the Schwartzschild metric. The evolution parameter of a geodesic is, however, an affine parameter or equivalently the proper time. What this could mean is the subject of this paper.
Application of Business Model at PT. ABC
Authors: Sijabat Maradel , Santoso Adhi Setyo
Published: May 2023

The performance of PT ABC until December 2022 has been supported by several projects. Development projects in Indonesia are of significant scale, evident from the multitude of jobs, such as the Railway Line Improvement and Toll Road projects, among others. To address the specific requirements of these activities, PT ABC has risen to the challenge by constructing several precast concrete plants in different locations in Java. Considering various aspects, including uncertain conditions such as price volatility, demand trends, and other factors affecting the production process, as well as potential operational losses, the Business Model Canvas analysis method has been employed to examine the form and business model of PT ABC. Currently, the precast concrete industry faces increasing external and internal threats, emphasizing the need for a more cost-effective production system and production schedule. One emerging threat is the practice of renting formwork tools instead of selling precast concrete, allowing contractors to produce them on-site at a lower cost without distribution expenses. Can the applied business model enable the company to thrive in the long run, and are there current challenges it must confront? The designed Business Model Canvas can serve as a decision support and guideline, guiding operations to ensure proper implementation and control. Additionally, it aids in managing strengths and weaknesses by supplementing the analysis with SWOT to minimize potential losses and maximize productivity from emerging business opportunities. The study's findings highlight the necessity of a business model for a company to achieve its vision, fulfill its mission, and endure in the present and future.

Published: May 2023

İnme, dünya çapında ikinci önde gelen ölüm nedenidir. Memeli merkezi sinir sistemindeki (MSS) en yaygın glial hücre grubunu oluşturan astrositlerin inmenin akut ve kronik evresindeki patofizyolojilerinin araştırılması önemlidir. Hastalık ve beyin hasarlarını takiben görülen patolojik durumlarda astrositler reaktif forma dönüşürler. İskemik hasar sonrası Glutatyon (GSH) salgılayarak oksidatif stres hasarını hafiflettikleri, nörotrofik faktörler salgılayarak nöron gelişimi ve sağ kalımına katkıda bulundukları, serebral ödemin düzenlenmesinde rolleri olduğu ve eritropoietin salgılayarak anjiyogeneze katkı sağladığı ve nöronal apoptozu inhibe ettiği yapılan çalışmalarla kanıtlanmıştır. Ancak tüm bunların yanı sıra, iskemi sonrası eksitotoksisiteyi indükleyerek ve inflamatuar faktörlerin aşırı salınımına yol açarak nöronal ölüme yol açtığı ve kan-beyin bariyeri (KBB)’nin geçirgenliğini attırdığı gösterilmiştir. İskemik hasar sonrası oluşan glial skarın akut dönemde doku hasarının yayılmasını önleyerek sağlıklı dokudaki homeostazı sağladığı ancak kronik dönemde akson büyümesine engel olduğunu gösteren çalışmalar mevcuttur. Bu yüzden reaktif astrositlerin işlevleri tartışmalıdır. Genetik olarak reaktif astrositlerin nörotoksik (A1) ve nöroprotektif (A2) iki polarizasyon durumuna dönüşüm geçirebileceği bulunmuştur. Farklı astrosit tipleri nörolojik hastalıklar için etkili tedavi yaklaşımlarının keşfedilmesine yardımcı olacaktır. Bu derlemede; iskemik beyin hasarına bağlı olarak oluşan inmede reaktif astrositlerin fonksiyonlarına ve bu süreçte astrositlerin fizyolojik ve histomorfolojik değişimlerine yer verilmiştir.
A Portrait of Artificial Intelligence (AI): A Trend Analysis of the Visual Representation of AI in Media
Authors: Hack Nicole
Published: May 2023

What does artificial intelligence (AI) look like? A robot with red eyes, a white, plastic line worker, a cybernetic brain, a line of code? Or does it manifest through social and cultural occurrences that illustrate the complex relationships people have to emerging technologies? This article identifies themes in how AI is represented and visualized in news, and participatory media. The study uses science communication theory as well as case studies that identify visual communication as paramount in establishing inclusivity, collaboration, and education for socially driven technology. With visual media as the focus, this study analyzed two hundred media articles over a ten-year period from publications varying in size, nature, and geography. The goal of this study was to identify whether there existed a disconnect in AI literacy between text-based information and visual media that is designed for non-expert audiences. More so, how visual form is assigned to AI as an intangible, and highly representative concept and technology. The results contribute to a larger discourse on how AI is portrayed in, and by science fiction narratives. Lastly, this study adds a modern perspective to science communication research by considering participatory media, economies of attention, and emerging technologies as nuanced factors driving AI discourse, and thus its direction. 
Unfair & Not So Lovely: Exploring the Darker Side of Globalization, the Media & Indian Beauty Standards
Authors: Morris Ridhima
Published: May 2023

As the world continues to be more global and accessible, ideologies, values and thoughts can easily be transferred to different parts of the world. This is particularly done through the media and other related mediums. The concept of beauty is greatly influenced by the media and the media impacts a society greatly especially if a specific set of standards are deemed as “beautiful”. As the media utilizes different mediums to showcase the “ideal” standards of beauty for Indian women, we began to see a problem arise for those who don’t “fit” the standards. This paper seeks to examine what influence this globalization through media has on its audience and in particular, on their perspective of beauty. Additionally, through the use of an auto ethnographic lense, this paper deconstructs topics such as identity formation, culture and beauty. 
Dealing With Death: The Gamification of Social Prescription in the Health Industry
Authors: Yoo Julian
Published: May 2023

Social prescribing is a way to support patients with holistic, non-clinical services aimed to improve their overall health and well-being. It is a relatively new concept, adopted in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands, where doctors prescribe or refer patients to non-clinical tools or activities. United Kingdom’s National Health Service is implementing a pilot project that seeks to facilitate meaningful conversations between palliative care patients and their loved ones in regards to their final wishes. The tool used to facilitate conversations was a physical card game. This study documents the design and application development involved in reconstructing the card game into digital format, from wireframing to final software compilation. This research may be applied to further the digitization of social prescribing tools or the digitization of other areas of health care.

A beaded 4-vinylpyridine–styrene–divinylbenzene copolymer was obtained and modified by the quaternization of the pyridine units with 2-chloroethanol and the anion exchange with iodine. The resulting ionic polymer can be recycled for seven consecutive runs without loss of conversion in the addition of CO2 to epoxides.
