THE NATURE OF BUSINESS MODEL OF A COMPANY
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Magomedova Alina
Published: December 2024

Today, companies place significant emphasis on refining and evolving their business models. This attention is largely driven by rising global competition and rapid technological change, particularly accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has prompted businesses to adapt quickly to new market conditions. Companies must grasp fundamental aspects of business model development to navigate such challenges effectively. However, the concept of a «business model» varies considerably, as different enterprises interpret and adapt it based on their lifecycle stage, sector-specific challenges, and market needs. Because of this, extensive literature exists, offering numerous definitions and often correlating the term with other economic categories. Consequently, there is a growing need to deepen the study of the economic substance of business models by exploring diverse academic viewpoints and clarifying their core functions.

Organizational viability and long-term success are intimately tied to their capability to generate and retain value. Therefore, each commercial enterprise continuously focuses on constructing, optimizing, and evolving its business model to remain competitive. Strategic priorities can differ widely, depending on factors such as industry characteristics, market concentration, regulatory frameworks, organizational age, and customer base. For example, younger businesses might prioritize market penetration, while older companies may emphasize diversification. Government regulations can also influence the direction of strategic development, particularly in heavily regulated sectors.

Furthermore, a business model is never a static or completed construct. It is inherently dynamic, requiring ongoing refinement to adapt to changing market demands, emerging technologies, and customer needs.

Authors: Komkov Nikita S. , Strigunenko Vlas V. , Kurmaev Rinat Kh.
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND: Many approaches to the development of modern automotive products are based on methods inherited from the 70-80’s of the XX century from the country with a radically different economic system. Advanced modern approaches rely on the fact that the manufacturer is in constant contact with the clients and is engaged in the development of its processes in order to organize the development of the best product to increase its own market share and competitiveness.
The paper discusses the proposal of a new model of the vehicle designing system.
AIM: Development of the system for designing automotive products that meets modern requirements and modern competitive approaches.
METHODS: The study analyzed the existing modern methods and approaches to the development of automotive products.
RESULTS: The system for designing automotive products that meets modern requirements in the field of product development is described. The system differs from the existing ones with elements that allow improving the quality, properties and characteristics of the products being created.
CONCLUSION: It is advisable to use the proposed system in the development of modern vehicles. It is also possible to use the system in the development of other high-tech products.

Published: December 2024

This article analyzes the scope of services provided by a dentist within the military medical service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation during a modern armed conflict. The study included two stages: a prospective stage involving patient care (preventive oral cavity examinations in citizens mobilized for military service) and a retrospective analysis of dental care provided by the military medical service during a military operation (data from preventive examinations, oral sanitation plans for armed forces personnel, and reports from senior dentists of military districts). It has been established that the need for oral sanitation among career military personnel averages 72% and reaches up to 81% among volunteers and citizens mobilized for military service, increasing the workload for both military and hospital dentists. On average, 85.4% of armed forces personnel require outpatient dental care, with each individual having an average of 5.6 teeth requiring treatment: 3.8 for caries, 0.8 needing endodontic treatment, 1 tooth requiring extraction, and 7.4 teeth needing restoration among those requiring prosthetics. It was noted that the critical factors were the nature of combat operations, the workload of medical evacuation stages, and the availability of various resources in the regimental aid station or the medical company of a brigade. These factors often hinder the full deployment of dental equipment and the ability to provide treatment for oral disorders, both on an elective and emergency basis. Satisfactory conditions for this type of medical care are achievable only in a dental office within a separate medical battalion or a special task medical detachment. To improve the provision of dental care to armed forces personnel by the military medical service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation during a military operation, the authors propose the following. Dental offices should be equipped with portable turbine dental units, which have proven to be highly effective in real combat conditions, and with portable dental X-ray machines to significantly improve the quality of diagnostics and treatment of dental disorders. In addition, given the challenges of restocking medical consumables, dentists should ensure their timely requisition and monitoring their receipt, since only 36.6% of medical units are equipped with standard dental consumables, necessitating urgent measures to establish a stable supply system.

Published: December 2024

The study evaluated key spirometric parameters in patients with post-tuberculosis (post-TB) lung sequelae after recovery from a new coronavirus infection. The main group incliuded 14 patients with clinically cured respiratory tuberculosis who had recovered from the new coronavirus infection and, after recovery, were sent to the Glukhovskaya tuberculosis sanatorium for treatment in 2020-2021. The control group included 52 patients with residual post-TB sequelae, who did not have a new coronavirus infection and who were treated at the sanatorium during the same period. The groups were comparable in terms of epidemiological and clinical criteria, except for post-TB sequelae: the main group included 13 cases (92.9%) of minor post-TB sequelae, 1 case (7.1%) of major post-TB sequelae, and the control group included 36 (69.2%) and 16 (30.8%) cases, respectively. Pulmonary function tests included vital capacity, forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, and forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity. Tests were performed at admission to the sanatorium and after 1 month. At stage 1 in the main group, vital capacity, forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in 1 second were on average below the predicted level (80%) compared with the control group, and after sanatorium treatment the same parameters improved slightly. In the control group, the initial indicators were significantly higher, the rates of recovery of vital capacity of the lungs and forced vital capacity of the lungs were comparable with the main group, during the 2nd examination, the average levels of recovery of vital capacity of the lungs and forced vital capacity of the lungs approached, and in terms of forced expiratory volume in the 1st second, they reached the norm. At baseline, low ventilatory lung capacity correlated with clinical symptoms, as 42.8% of patients in the main group and 55.7% of controls reported shortness of breath. However, after sanatorium treatment, the control group more often showed parameters below 60%: 7.7% of cases for vital capacity, 17.3% for forced vital capacity, 11.5% for forced expiratory volume in 1 second, while the main group showed mostly slight or moderate decrease of these parameters. Therefore, the new coronavirus infection has a negative impact on the functional capacity of the respiratory system, but major post-TB sequelae also contribute to the development of ventilatory disorders.

Published: December 2024

The study evaluates the dynamics of aquaporin (aquaporin-1, aquaporin-5, and epithelial sodium channel) content in the aero-hematic barrier during the latent phase of rat intoxication with carbonyl chloride (phosgene), thermal decomposition products of fluoroplast containing perfluoroisobutylene, and nitrogen dioxide. Rat intoxication was modeled using average lethal concentrations of these toxic substances. At 30 and 60 minutes post-exposure, pulmonary coefficient was measured and histological and immunohistochemical studies were performed. Western blot analysis was used to determine the aquaporin-5 content in rat lung tissues exposed to the thermal decomposition products of fluoroplast. It was found that rat intoxication with phosgene and thermal decomposition products of fluoroplast containing perfluoroisobutylene led to an increase in the relative content of aquaporin-5 and epithelial sodium channel-positive cells in lung tissues as early as 30 minutes post-exposure. At 60 minutes post-exposure, there were signs of the interstitial phase of toxic pulmonary edema and an increase in the pulmonary coefficient. Exposure to nitrogen dioxide resulted in an increase in the pulmonary coefficient and the relative content of aquaporin-5-positive cells, as well as pronounced signs of the interstitial phase of edema 30 minutes post-exposure. Western blot analysis using anti-aquaporin-5 antibodies revealed an increase in the staining intensity of complexes with molecular weights of 25 and 50 kDa, suggesting the formation of aquaporin-5 tetramers and their likely translocation from the intracellular compartment to the plasma membrane of alveolar cells. These findings indicate that aquaporin-5 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of toxic pulmonary edema induced by the studied pneumotoxicants. Targeting these molecules may be a promising approach for pathogenetic therapy of poisoning.

Authors: Egiazaryan Karen A. , Lazareva Valentina V. , Bondarenko Elena A. , Skvortsova Maria A. , Badriev Denis A. , Shatihina Anastasia O.
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND: Benign soft tissue masses of the hand are defined by the lack of a generally accepted global classification, consistent terminology, and histological identification criteria, as well as a wide range of forms and frequent recurrences. During preoperative preparation in routine clinical practice, imaging and comprehensive clinical examinations are frequently not performed in patients with soft tissue masses of the hand. In the event of a later recurrence, the selection of treatment approach can be challenging due to limited clinical and imaging findings.
AIM: To assess the prevalence of benign soft tissue masses of the hand among all neoplasms of the hand, based on the histological structure, as well as the characteristics of clinical diagnosis and the efficacy of specialized examination methods.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study was performed in 1.355 patients with benign soft tissue masses of the hand and tumor-like lesions for a 10-year period between 2010 and 2020. The diagnosis was based on clinical, X-ray, and ultrasound findings, with a mandatory histological examination of the excised tumor in all patients. To clarify the diagnosis, additional magnetic resonance imaging was used in 53 patients, computed tomography in 15 patients, angiography in 13 patients, and thermographic and radionuclide studies in 28 patients.
RESULTS: Of the 1,355 cases of tumor-like lesions on the hand, 563 (41.5%) were benign soft tissue masses. The most prevalent were benign synoviomas (263 cases; 46.8%), hemangiomas (94 cases; 16.8%), lipomas (62 cases; 11.2%), fibromas (35 cases; 6.2%), glomangiomas (28 cases; 5%), and fibrolipomas (26 cases; 4.6%). Angiofibromyomas, hemangiopericytomas, and lymphangiomas had the lowest prevalence (3 cases each; 0.5%).
CONCLUSION: The study found that benign soft tissue masses of the hand accounted for 41.5% of all tumor-like lesions on the hand, with benign synoviomas being the most prevalent. The diagnostic significance of mandatory X-ray and ultrasound examinations before surgery was confirmed. Only 884 of 1,355 cases (62.5%) had a preliminary diagnosis made prior to imaging studies that matched the final diagnosis based on histomorphological examination of the excised tumor. The feasibility of widespread use of high-resolution MRI for the differential diagnosis of hand neoplasms was determined. The diagnostic significance of angiography, computed tomography, and thermographic and radionuclide studies in detecting benign hand neoplasms was confirmed. It is incorrect to perform surgery without preliminary clinical and imaging examinations. A histomorphological examination of the excised tumor is mandatory in all cases.
Middle-term two-stage treatment results of fistulous and non-fistulous form of chronic hip periprosthetic joint infection
Authors: Kochish Andrey A. , Bozhkova Svetlana A. , Artyukh Vasily A.
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND: Chronic deep periprosthetic infections (PPIs) of the hip joint are a major concern in modern orthopedic surgery. Numerous risk factors are being studied to reduce the recurrence rate; however, the role of functional fistulous tracts remains unclear.
AIM: To compare the physical status of patients, infection etiology, efficacy of chronic periprosthetic hip joint infection therapy, and treatment outcomes depending on the presence of a fistulous tract.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The retrospective analysis included 218 patients, with two study groups. Group 1 had 80 PPI patients without fistulas, while Group 2 had 138 PPI patients with fistulas. Treatment outcomes were assessed in 202 patients; the median duration of follow-up was 26 months.
RESULTS: Patients with fistulas were younger than those without fistulas: 58 and 63 years, respectively (p = 0.006). There were no significant intergroup differences in the total comorbidity score, duration of surgery, and blood loss. Patients with fistulas had a three-day shorter average hospital stay than those without fistulas (p=0.03). Monobacterial PPIs were the most common in both groups, with Staphylococcus epidermidis predominating in the group without fistulas and Staphylococcus aureus in the group with fistulas (p 0.001). These findings had no significant impact on the recurrence rate. The efficacy of the first debridement was 82% and 76% in the groups without fistulas and with fistulas, respectively; the efficacy of the second debridement was 69% and 58%, respectively (p 0.05). The presence of a fistulous tracts significantly increased the risk of PPI recurrence (p=0.048).
CONCLUSION: PPIs of the hip joint with fistulas have no significant impact on the first PPI relapse; however, fistulas may significantly increase the risk of the second relapse. This must be taken into account when planning relapsing PPI treatment stages.

Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND: Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) in remedial spine surgery is currently a gold standard, and protecting the nervous system during surgery is a major concern for both surgeons and patients. Moreover, we use various types of preoperative halo traction in patients with severe scoliosis to reduce the risk of neurological complications. Thus, we performed a comparative study of changes in IONM findings during scoliosis surgery in patients with and without preoperative halo-gravity traction.
AIM: To compare IONM findings during scoliosis surgery with and without preoperative halo-gravity traction.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: An observational, single-center, retrospective, single-arm study of IONM findings was performed in 88 patients with severe scoliosis who underwent scoliosis surgery with halo traction between 2019 and 2023. The study included two groups. Group 1 (52 patients) had preoperative halo-gravity traction while standing or sitting. Group 2 (36 patients) had intraoperative halo traction. A comparative analysis was performed, which included the following: risk criteria for neurological deficit in the lower extremities during surgery, deformation angles, mobility parameters, postoperative deformation, blood loss, and surgery duration.
RESULTS: The intergroup comparison of changes in deformation angles and IONM findings revealed that Group 1 had more severe deformation based on primary and compensatory curve angles, more severe stiffness, and a lower number of patients with normal motor evoked potential (MEP) levels. The differences were significant (p 0.05). Risk criteria for neurological deficit were reported in 12 patients: seven in Group 1 and five in Group 2. In two patients in Group 2, MEP values of the lower extremities were not restored, resulting in permanent neurological deficit.
CONCLUSION: Preoperative halo traction prepares the nervous structures for the treatment of severe deformations and minimizes the intraoperative impact on the nervous system, reducing the risk of neurological complications in patients with severe spinal deformities compared to immediate treatment with intraoperative traction.

Days of Significance
Authors: Prince Kathryn
Published: December 2024

Days of Significance, written by Roy Williams, is one of the new plays commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company as part of its Complete Works Festival. Premièred at the Swan Theatre in January 2007, this very loose adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing moves between modern-day England and Iraq to explore the tension between military and societal values that in Shakespeare lead to conflict when the soldiers return from battle. This version begins on the eve of two new recruits' departure for Basra, and traces the damage that war causes both for those who fight abroad and for those they leave behind.
Rohinton Mistry's Family Shakespeare
Authors: Williams Deanne
Published: December 2024

This article examines the significance of Shakespeare in the work of Rohinton Mistry, especially Such A Long Journey (1991). Born in Bombay and emigrating to Canada in 1975, Mistry is a Canadian novelist who writes primarily about the India of his youth. His use of Shakespeare signals Canada's shared heritage with India as former British colonies, allowing Mistry to participate doubly in the postcolonial tradition of creative engagement with Shakespeare. It demonstrates, as well, that Canadian appropriations of Shakespeare extend beyond French, English, and native Canada, calling attention to Shakespeare's particular meaning and relevance within the large population of Indo-Canadians. Through Shakespeare, Mistry addresses the problems faced by contemporary urban Indians and Canadians alike: the trials and tribulations of immigration, the limitations and vulnerabilities of classic liberal multiculturalism and its cosmopolitan ideals, and the challenges of membership in a minority community.
Shakespeare and the Eighteenth-Century Actress
Authors: Ritchie Fiona
Published: December 2024

David Garrick is frequently credited with revolutionizing the acting profession and the presentation of Shakespeare through his appearance in Shakespearean roles in the eighteenth century. But the actresses who performed alongside him were also hugely influential in pioneering a new conception of Shakespeare on the stage. Performers such as Catherine Clive and Hannah Pritchard were celebrated for their acting talent in works such as Charles Churchill's The Rosciad (1761) and Thomas Davies's Dramatic Miscellanies (1784). This paper will trace the history of women's performance of Shakespeare in the eighteenth century and will focus on the accounts of Clive's and Pritchard's acting. I suggest that performing Shakespeare helped actresses to be taken seriously as artists for the first time, allowing them to be admired and respected for their skill in their profession rather than to be treated primarily as "ornaments to the stage," as they were in the Restoration.

"To Skip or Not to Skip": Shakespearean Romanticism and Curricular Genderpellation in Canadian Popular Culture
Authors: McCutcheon Mark A.
Published: December 2024

This essay investigates the Romantic effects of Shakespearean "touchstones" in popular cultural representations of Canadian curriculum to interpellate girls in the contested institutional space of public education. The essay's genealogy of Shakespeare and gender-curricular politics opens with Lucy Maude Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables, a popular literary text published shortly after the Victorian-imperial institution of public education. The argument juxtaposes Montgomery's pedagogical and prescriptive adaptation of Shakespeare with Skye Sweetnam's "Billy S.," a 2004 popular song that articulates a rebellious appeal to the imagination, not unlike Anne's own. The paper concludes with questions about how these uses of Shakespeare in popular representations of school and Romantic ideology produce a gender-coded literary curriculum, and students, in English Canadian public education.
"Alas, poor YORICK": Quoting Shakespeare in the Mid-Eighteenth-Century Novel
Authors: Rumbold Kate
Published: December 2024

Shakespeare is so widely quoted in the eighteenth-century novel that the practice seems almost innocuous. Closer examination of his quotation by the novel's characters, however, reveals a tension between this polite convention and its potentially dangerous association with the pretense of the stage. This paper will argue that Shakespeare's multiple availability to the eighteenth-century public — via the stage, adaptations, gentlemanly editions, cheaper texts, and anthologies — renders his quotation an ambiguous act, capable of representing simultaneously a stagy self-dramatization and a benign, readerly admiration. Looking at some of the ways in which novelists such as Richardson, Fielding, and Sterne have their characters variously maximize or minimize the theatricality of their quotations, the paper will show how they creatively exploit Shakespeare's complex status at this historical juncture to create subtle shades of characterization.
Reading in and of Shakespeare
Authors: Potter Lois
Published: December 2024

Drawing on early modern to contemporary practices, this essay explores the dynamics of Shakespearean play readings. Dramatization of the reading of letters in early modern plays, for instance, suggests that the act of reading functions rhetorically to allow one person (the reader) to experience a situation from the perspective of another (the letter writer) or, in more devious ways, to falsify the voice and ethos of the letter writer. Historically, many readings have been amateur productions, aimed at improving and entertaining the readers. Readings by professional companies, by contrast, can be used to evaluate plays for future production or to present inexpensively unfamiliar plays that could not be produced as stage performances. In either case, the assumption of "voice" in the act of reading continues to attract participants, a sign that the unpredictability and power of this largely unexplored art form deserves further attention.
Shakespeare on the Prairie: The Shakespeare Club of Aberdeen, South Dakota Authors
Authors: Benkert Lysbeth Em
Published: December 2024

The Shakespeare Club of Aberdeen, South Dakota — a prairie town with fewer than 25,000 residents — has been meeting for 106 years. The group's carefully preserved records reveal many similarities with other women's clubs in the U.S., but also some key differences. While the Shakespeare Club has throughout its history studied Shakespeare and other figures from high culture, the group's emphasis on charity work, both locally and globally, and its interest in texts from popular culture, among other characteristics, suggest that over the years, the club has provided its members with a connection to the wider world and helped them to feel that what they themselves do matters to the world.

Published: December 2024

Water pollution continues to be a serious environmental issue that threatens human health and ecological sustainability. In this study, a comparative analysis of water pollution was conducted between urban and suburban/rural areas by identifying locations as “City” and “Outskirts,” and reviewing data for the years 2017-2018 respectively. Water samples werecollected from each location and analysed for various tests like Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), PH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and chlorine content. The analysis showed a significant difference in water pollution sources between the city and the outskirts. The city had the worst water quality in all tested parameters due to high industrial activities, urban runoffand sewage discharge. Water in the outskirts was the least polluted with water since there were few impervious surfaces and low human activities compared to the city. On the other hand, agricultural runoff or diffuse pollution was still a notable issue in suburban/rural areas. This demonstrates the complicated relationships between land use, human activitiesand environmental factors that shape the water quality situation. Such results indicate the necessity of fast pollution control initiatives and sustainable land treatment steps to reduce water pollution in urban and suburban areas. By doing so, it is possible to secure water resources for the present and the next generation.

Authors: Haghipour Ziba , Sadatmahalleh Shahideh Jahanian , Razavinia Fatemeh , Nasiri Malihe
Published: December 2024

Background: Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) has affected almost all communities throughout the world. It affects different systems in the body, which causes irreparable consequences.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of the COVID-19 virus on menstrual disorders, anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), thyroid peroxidase (TPO), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), and prolactin levels in women with COVID-19 disease.
Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted on 201 women (101 healthy, and 100 women with COVID-19) in Nomadic hospital, Khorramabad, Iran from February-October 2021. After recovery from COVID-19, participants were interviewed about their menstrual cycle in their 1st and 4th months. Blood samples were collected during 1st and 4th months, and AMH, TSH, TPO, and prolactin levels were assessed.
Results: No significant differences were observed in the 1st and 4th months regarding menstrual disorders, TPO, and prolactin levels in the patient group (p > 0.05). The mean level of AMH in the healthy group was higher than the patient group in both times (p < 0.001). A relationship between TSH and COVID-19 was observed in the 1st month (p < 0.001); however, no significant relationship was observed in the 4th month, in this regard.
Conclusion: Endocrine dysfunction in the form of low AMH and high TSH were common among COVID-19 patients. Due to the importance of menstrual and hormonal disorders, especially AMH and TSH, and their association with COVID-19, health policymakers should find appropriate solutions to reduce complications.
Electroanalytical Methods as a Tool for Determining the Antioxidant Capacity in Blood Samples
Authors: Oliveira Fernanda Gonçalves de , Alvares Thiago da Silveira , Melo Rodrigo de Siqueira
Published: December 2024

Aerobic metabolism is an essential process for energy production in cells, but it also generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), which, in excess, can cause cellular damage and contribute to the development of various diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. The balance between ROS and antioxidants is crucial for health, as an imbalance can lead to oxidative stress, a significant risk factor for several clinical conditions. Electroanalytical techniques, such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), square wave voltammetry (SWV), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), have proven to be powerful tools for evaluating antioxidant capacity more efficiently and accurately than traditional spectrophotometric methods. These techniques offer notable advantages, such as high sensitivity, simplicity, and the ability to analyze complex biological samples rapidly. CV allows for the analysis of compounds with good sensitivity, DPV stands out for its high precision, while SWV offers excellent resolution and speed, making it ideal for clinical applications. The use of these methodologies has been expanded to analyze antioxidants in various biological matrices, enabling a more accurate assessment of oxidative stress and antioxidant status in specific clinical contexts. Additionally, electrochemical biosensors have become revolutionary tools in clinical diagnostics, allowing real-time monitoring of diseases related to oxidative stress. Innovations such as portable devices and integration with artificial intelligence promise to further enhance accessibility and treatment personalization, despite the challenges involved in device cost and standardization.

Published: December 2024

В статті розглянуто та проаналізовано інструменти удосконалення логістичних процесів, а саме автоматизація, оптимізація та реінжиніринг. Обґрунтовано, що автоматизація логістичних процесів доцільна для удосконалення і прискорення виконання рутинних та повторюваних завдань, пов'язаних з управлінням ланцюгом поставок та є обов'язковою умовою для подальшого реінжинірингу. Оптимізацію слід розглядати як постійний процес вдосконалення ланцюга поставок через впровадження комплексу заходів, спрямованих на підвищення ефективності та продуктивності логістики. Відмінність реінжинірингу логістичних процесів від оптимізації визначається спрямованістю на суттєве перепроєктування і стрибкоподібне зростання показників ефективності транспортно-логістичної системи. Запропоновано схему процесу впровадження і реалізації інструментів удосконалення логістичних процесів.

Сучасні надскладні умови господарювання обумовлюють зміщення акценту уваги на персонал підприємств, який стає стратегічним ресурсом забезпечення їх конкурентоспроможності, що і вказує на доцільність впровадження стратегічних підходів до управління кадровим потенціалом. Аналіз трактувань вчених щодо змісту кадрової стратегії дозволив зробити висновок, що під останньою слід розуміти складний комплекс політик управління персоналом (підбір, управління кар’єрою, підвищення кваліфікації, управління мотивацією та ін.), який узгоджений та інтегрований в загальну стратегію підприємства, має довгостроковий характер і є гнучким до мінливого середовища. Встановлено завдання кадрової політики підприємства з урахуванням стратегічних цілей його розвитку. З метою підвищення обґрунтованості процесів формування кадрової стратегії систематизовано її види. Беручи до уваги тренд поширення цифровізації у всіх сферах сучасного суспільства, запропоновано доповнення класифікації стратегічних сценаріїв управління персоналом їх типами, що виділені за критеріями масштаб, характер і спрямування цифрових змін. Акцентовано увагу на тому, що активне впровадження цифрових технологій в управління персоналом підприємств змінюють тактику та стратегію роботи з кадрами, зумовлюючи появу нової цифрової концепції управління людськими ресурсами. Розкрито ключові принципи стратегії управління персоналом, а саме забезпечення інтеграції співробітників у єдине цифрове середовище на основі сучасних інформаційно-комунікаційних рішень, своєчасна фінансова оцінка ефективності інвестицій у людський капітал та планування конкретного обсягу вкладень у компетенції та професіоналізм працівників у складі річних бюджетів на систематичній основі, підвищення залученості та покращення культури та соціальнопсихологічного клімату на основі стандартних та просунутих інструментів управління людськими ресурсами. Констатовано, що нині формування стратегії управління персоналом - це індивідуальний процес, який складається з кількох етапів, що мають враховувати цільові завдання у площині впровадження цифрових технологій.
