Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Vilchak Lilya , Peredalo Khrystyna ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: January 2024

The professional development of employees is an integral part of the organization's personnel management, since the effectiveness and efficiency of its activities significantly depend on the level of professional training of personnel in the conditions of the modern economy. Employees increas-ingly have to combine a wide variety of functions in their work, perform many different professional tasks, process large amounts of information, etc. Therefore, the proper choice of the form of profes-sional development, which would meet the demands and capabilities of the company, as well as the employee himself, is an important task of the management. However, despite this, the question of which tools to use for the effective selection of acceptable forms is still unclear. The article considers different approaches to the essence of the interpretation of the concept of "professional development". Various forms of professional development of employees are char-acterized, the importance of choosing a specific form for the development of the company and the problems that arise in this case are indicated. The stages of choosing forms of professional develop-ment for employees of the foreign economic division have been developed and the use of the TOPSIS methodology for choosing the optimal form of professional development of an employee on the ex-ample of a specific enterprise is clearly presented. The research was conducted on the basis of State Enterprise "X". According to the TOPSIS methodology, the chosen option, namely self-education and mentoring, cannot be considered the best forms of professional growth for employees of the for-eign economic division, but only acceptable for the organization. According to the TOPSIS method-ology, the option that receives 1 point is considered the best. According to the results of our research, it can be noted that the choice of forms of profes-sional development of an employee, especially those working in the field of foreign economic activi-ty, is an important issue for companies that seek not only to maintain their positions in the foreign market, but also to expand their activities abroad. Therefore, the stages of selection of forms pro-posed by us and a visual presentation of the use of the TOPSIS methodology will enable domestic en-terprises to more effectively solve this task, taking into account financial capabilities, the needs of employees, their abilities about professions, the needs of companies, etc.

The introduction of the economic rating will contribute to the centralization of control over the activities of economic entities by various state bodies. On the other hand, the economic rating will allow to avoid subjectivity in the evaluation of the economic activity of enterprises by state bod-ies and other subjects of economic activity and to establish a transparent and understandable work of the state bodies themselves for subjects of economic activity and society as a whole. It consists in a careful study and analysis of the international and domestic experience of rat-ing the economic activity of enterprises according to economic and economic indicators in Ukraine in order to develop agreed and unified methodological recommendations for the ranking of business entities in the process of European integration of Ukraine. To determine the rating of the company by economic indicators, it is necessary to evaluate the main indicators of the economic activity of the enterprise, minimizing and simplifying their calcula-tion, and to introduce a digital rating of the economic indicators of the company. With two-way communication between the enterprise and other market participants, this will simplify relations be-tween them. On the other hand, state bodies will be able to direct the development of enterprises in the right direction, according to the adopted policy of socio-economic development. The proposed recommendations will help to simplify the conditions for obtaining privileges by honest and conscientious enterprises in the form of quotas, licenses, permits, benefits, subsidies. The proposed system will enable government bodies, as well as other commercial institutions, to conduct a kind of audit of the enterprise, to see the overall picture of the state of its activity, to transparently select the best in the industry and grant them privileges. In addition, the rating will help reduce the number of inspections of the enterprise by government authorities, which are often inefficient and ineffective.
Strategic opportunities of the enterprise and their assessment
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Koval Zoriana
Published: January 2024

Assessment of strategic opportunities is an important stage of strategic planning for the develop-ment of an enterprise and an important component of its strategic management system. The study of the strategic level of the enterprise, its strategic potential will make it possible to analyze the features and determine the prospects of its development for the future. The evaluation of the level of effectiveness of the strategy chosen by the enterprise, which characterizes the direction of its strategic development, will allow to effectively influence the current state of economic activity and the dynamics of changes in this state, to identify more important factors that caused the specified changes, to forecast and plan such changes. A characteristic of strategic development in the process of such an assessment is the company's ability to achieve strategic goals and planned strategic results of its activities during the planned time period. At the same time, the availability and efficiency of the use of the appropriate resources necessary for the imple-mentation of the strategy, the ability to adapt the strategy to changes occurring under the influence of internal and external environmental factors, as well as the ability to obtain significant competitive ad-vantages due to the choice of the appropriate strategy, etc., also become important. The results of the analysis of these and other parameters specified in the study indicate the strategic capabilities of the en-terprise, that is, its ability to take advantage of the positive influence of external factors for its develop-ment and counteract the influence of negative factors, or minimize their influence on its activities. The article proposes a methodology for assessing the strategic capabilities of enterprises using the theory of probability, which will make it possible to take into account both the parameters of their internal environment, which determine the effectiveness of the chosen strategy, and the features of the external environment, which in today's complex conditions is characterized by a significant level of instability and unpredictability. The advantages and disadvantages of using this method during the development, selection and evaluation of enterprise strategies are considered, the peculiarities of its application in certain situa-tions are considered, the probability of the enterprise realizing its opportunities under various types of certainty and variability of the external environment is investigated, which will contribute to increasing the objectivity of assessing the gap between strategic the goals of enterprises and their capabilities and will help identify directions for reducing this gap in the long-term perspective.

The study examines the problem of managing venture structures in conditions of uncer-tainty, where modern companies face unprecedented change and risk. The relevance of the re-search is due to global transformations, geopolitical conflicts, technological innovations and un-expected market changes. The article discusses strategies for managing venture structures in conditions of uncertainty, including adaptation to changes, portfolio diversification, and in-volvement of experts. The role of technological innovations in venture management is also con-sidered, including their impact on opportunity identification and process automation. Adaptive leadership is a crucial aspect of managing enterprises under conditions of uncertainty. This in-volves being flexible and responsive to the business's changing environment and challenges. The study's general conclusions indicate the need for flexible management strategies, the use of modern technologies and the development of new investment models to succeed in conditions of constant uncertainty and change. It is noted that the effective management of venture struc-tures is essential for the country's post-war recovery because it can become a catalyst for rapid economic recovery and stimulation of innovation. Venture capital contributes to the financing and development of innovative enterprises and technologies that can revolutionize various areas of the economy. This includes the development of new products, services and technologies that help solve social and economic problems. Creating a favorable ecosystem for venture capital can lead to the growth of innovative entrepreneurship and the attraction of important invest-ments in promising industries. This, in turn, contributes to the creation of new jobs, the devel-opment of new technological industries and the restoration of economic potential after a period of conflict and war. An important advantage is also the ability of venture capital to attract for-eign investments and contribute to the support of national innovative projects. This approach contributes to economic recovery and has a positive effect on the further development of the country. Prospects for further research include the analysis of the impact of global crises, regu-latory aspects and psychological factors on venture management and the expansion of coopera-tion between large corporations and startups in this context.
Peculiarities of cross-cultural conflicts solving in the process of foreign economic activity implementation

Published: January 2024

Any violations or problems in the establishment of cross-cultural communication in the organiza-tion can become the causes of potential conflicts. Therefore, for their prevention or faster solving, it is important to understand the possible causes of their occurrence. Problems related to the establishment of cross-cultural communication can be: the use of cultural filters when forming an opinion about foreign counterparties; insufficient level of tolerance towards part-ners or clients; incorrect use of verbal and non-verbal means of communication; the establishment of new connections may depend on the degree of implementation of the principles of social responsibility, as this indicates the reliability of the business entity. Conventionally, all problems of cross-cultural interaction can be divided into two groups: conducting negotiations with international business partners and commu-nication within the organization. Usually, cross-cultural conflict during business negotiations arises for two main reasons. First, when dealing with cultural differences, partners quite often rely on stereotypes. Stereotypes are often de-rogatory and can lead to distorted expectations about the opponent's behavior and potentially misinterpre-tations. The second most common cause of intercultural misunderstandings is the tendency to interpret the behavior, values, and beliefs of others through the lens of one's own culture. To overcome this tendency, it is important to learn as much as possible about the culture of the foreign partner's side. The classification of business cultures by Richard Lewis can help to better navigate the character-istics of different cultures, comparing one with another and identifying common and distinctive features. This method is useful for planning cooperation with new counterparties in order to minimize the risk of potential conflicts due to unfamiliarity with the foreign partner. Before starting each negotiation, especially if they take place with new counterparties, it is neces-sary to process an array of information about cross-cultural differences. It is thanks to this measure that the probability of cross-cultural conflict can be minimized. And when a dispute arises, the company's team still needs to review its training, because in most cases, knowing cultural characteristics and being able to use them correctly is the key to solving the problem. For the effective resolution of conflicts, it is worth using the recommended strategy for resolving cross-cultural conflicts in the company in the process of foreign economic activity.
Development of social-psychological methods of personnel management under the conditions of martial law
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Phsyk-Kovalska Orysia , Kovalskyi Oleh ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: January 2024

Personnel management is an activity that creates many new challenges for managers who implement it at the enterprise. Today, one of these challenges is personnel management under martial law. In the con-ditions of martial law, a person's mental state is especially vulnerable, which is accompanied by a change in behavior, a low level of information perception, and an aggressive attitude towards others. All these negative processes are formed under the influence of stress in which people are, in particular, employees in organizations under martial law. People perceive and experience stress in different ways, some gradually adapt to the new reality, recover, and some in response to stressful circumstances and events feel uplifted and want to move forward against everything. In the conditions of martial law, the mental health of em-ployees is a factor that significantly affects labor productivity. Therefore, there is a need for the manager to use social and psychological methods at all levels and stages of management. This will contribute to the formation of a highly qualified and effective team, each member of which will realize their potential at the highest level, as a result of which the efficiency of the enterprise will increase. Social-psychological meth-ods appeal to the management of relationships. The main specificity of such methods is the use of informal factors, interests of the group, collective. At the same time, the competently implemented socio-psychological influence of the manager will form the employee's psychological resources for long-term successful activity. The main feature of psychological methods is the appeal to the inner world of a person, his personality, intelligence, feelings, images and behavior in order to direct the inner potential of a person to the solution of specific tasks of the enterprise. A review of literary sources and own research allow us to state that the formation of an effective labor team in the conditions of martial law directly depends on the identification, formation and development of psychological resources among employees. Despite the diffi-cult operating conditions of domestic enterprises, the proposed directions for the formation of psychologi-cal resources and well-argued evidence of the effectiveness of socio-psychological personnel management methods in the conditions of martial law should comprehensively solve the problem of reducing labor productivity, namely, from reducing organizational stress to improving the company's reputation, increas-ing trust in leadership and team cohesion.

Published: January 2024

The article investigates the relevance of the implementation of management accounting sys-tems using information technology. Digitalization and digital transformation significantly influence business processes, accounting procedures, and the enterprise management system in general. It is established that management accounting is an information base for the use of information by man-agement in making managerial decisions and assessing the results of economic activity. Therefore, the relevance, efficiency, timeliness, and interpretation of data are impossible without its automa-tion. The main tasks that the automated management accounting system allows solving are present-ed, as well as the list of objectives, the achievement of which it will provide. The advantages of implementing an automated system of management accounting are brief-ly reflected: efficiency, quality, reliability of obtaining, storing and processing information; obtain-ing relevant information by the staff of the enterprise in the shortest possible time; realization of qualitative and timely forecasts on economic activity of the enterprise; formation of balance sheet (financial plan, budget) at any moment of time, dynamics of indicators, state of assets and their sources for a particular reporting period, funds flow; efficiency of calculation of financial perfor-mance indicators: profitability, turnover; implementation of all types of accounting in a single in-formation system; obtaining operational analytical information on different areas of the enter-prise's activities: types of activities, types of products (works, services), business segments, expens-es, revenues, etc.; control of business process activities at all stages of management; consolidation of data of several companies, formation of consolidated financial statements; transformation of re-porting according to other rules and standards (accounting policy of the host company, Internation-al Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)). The main stages of implementation of the automated system of management accounting at the enterprise are proposed, and the types of work at each stage are characterized: assessment of in-formation requirements; analysis of the existing/current accounting system; development and ap-proval of the organizational structure of the enterprise; development of management reporting; de-velopment of accounting policies; internal control systems; terms of reference. It is proved that the automation of management accounting at the enterprise allows the cre-ation of a global system that provides solutions to a number of problems related to company man-agement, strategic and operational planning.

Published: January 2024

The article defines the essence of the concept of "global startups", and examines the factors influencing their emergence and rapid spread in the global economy. The size of the local market, the state of development of the national innovation ecosystem, the number and availability of re-sources, the level of competition in the domestic market, state protection of intellectual property rights and technologies, etc. The authors summarized the approaches to interpreting the essence of the internationaliza-tion and digitalization processes and investigated their impact on global startup entrepreneurship. It was found that the connection between digitalization and the internationalization of startups is sig-nificant, as entrepreneurs increasingly use information and communication technologies in their dai-ly activities to analyze national and international market information, sell products or services, or contact potential customers, suppliers, or strategic customers and partners. Digitalization refers to the use of digital infrastructure, the Internet as a medium for selling products and services and cre-ating value for customers. Attention is focused on the importance of digitalization for the early internationalization of startups. Systematized key factors of the internationalization of start-up firms: institutional envi-ronment of the home and host country, industry and market conditions of the country of origin and host country, state of development of formal and informal institutions, access to venture and social capital networks, availability of knowledge about foreign markets, leadership and entrepreneurial traits cofounders of startups, their cultural traits and cognitive skills, the presence of global think-ing and broad business orientation of startup founders. Based on the analysis of the success stories of domestic startups on the global market, the conditions and features of the emergence of global startups of Ukrainian origin were studied. For local startups to enter international markets, strategies for their rapid internationaliza-tion have been identified: joining international professional associations, integrating the local busi-ness into the system of European and global value-added chains, and developing bilateral plans for industry and key economic areas of the country.

Published: January 2024

The circular economy is a prerequisite for the new industrial revolution, because it contributes to achieving maximum economic efficiency in industry and reducing the negative impact on the environment. Its implementation involves a set of measures aimed at the sustainable development of enterprises, the country and society. Introducing the concept of circular economy is an important and necessary step for the development of our country, its integration into the European Union and post-war recovery. The purpose of the study is to identify problems on the path of reorientation of Ukrainian enterprises to the principles of circularity and sustainable development and to develop methods for their rapid adaptation, in particular, taking into account the consequences of European integration and full-scale war. The goals of the research: analysis of the current state of waste management in Ukraine, clarification of the essence and key principles of circularity and sustainable development, identification of the main strategies for the implementation of the circular economy, analysis of the peculiarities of the implementation of circular business models in Ukraine, taking into account the experience of the EU, development of recommendations for rapid adaptation circular business models in conditions of war. The peculiarities of waste management in Ukraine, in particular in the conditions of war, the readiness of companies and resource provision for the introduction of new circular business models are analyzed. The advantages and weaknesses of the implementation of circular principles, the opportunities that open up to enterprises, the positive impact on the economic, social, technological spheres, etc. are characterized. Before the full-scale invasion into Ukraine, most of the factors of the external environment were generally favorable for the implementation of circular economy business models by Ukrainian enterprises: accelerated accession to the EU, commitment to Ukrainian business in the world market, attraction of foreign investments, development of innovative technologies in Ukraine, gradual change in the culture of consumption , increasing consumer trust in "green" brands, increasing the level of social responsibility of enterprises. The amount of waste in Ukraine as a result of military operations as of June 2023 was 12 million tons (excluding temporarily occupied territories): destruction of administrative buildings, private houses, agricultural lands, etc. At the same time, it was stated that the pre-war methods of waste management, which were already ineffective, cannot be used in principle today. Therefore, now more than ever, it is important to promptly and effectively eliminate its consequences, which, on the other hand, is also a potential for the development of the circular economy and the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.

Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Hunka Bohdan , Datsiuk Andrian ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Havran Volodymyr ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: January 2024

The article deals with studying the state of providing heat supply services. The quality indica-tors of centralized heat supply services have been categorized. The evaluation of the quality of cen-tralized heat supply services hinges on principal benchmarks such as punctuality in starting and fin-ishing the heating season, uninterrupted service provision, and adherence to current regulations. Having analysed the heat energy supply, its pricing was divided into two components – condi-tionally permanent and conditionally variable. Such division allows us to mitigate the adverse effects of the seasonality of this housing and communal services category. It's noteworthy that this tariff formation developed with the 'cost plus' method (which also includes heat energy losses), is assumed imperfect according to European standards. It provides only a minimal level of profitability, which neither fosters equipment development nor encourages cost savings nor motivates employees. The study on the quality of heat supply services revealed that the assessment was primarily based on the minimum technical requirements and consumer relations. The article states that the principal challenge in providing high-quality heat supply services is the lack of competition in this sector. Heat supply enterprises do not have enough incentives to enhance their efficiency and seek opportunities for implementing investment programmes to ensure a more cost-effective service sup-ply. To improve quality and resolve current issues the authors propose to adopt non-conventional measures, to investigate changes in the quality of heat supply services and how they are evaluated by consumers, to inform the regulatory housing and communal services authorities and local self-government bodies about the existing problems of heat supply services and their quality so that they can make effective management decisions. For the purpose of enhancing the quality of heat supply services, it has been recommended to use monitoring based on the integrated quality index calculation. This index comprises elements such as commercial service quality, service reliability, service accessibility, and technical quality.

The article is devoted to the study of the state and prospects of the implementation of the con-cept of sustainable development in the activities of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine. The article examines the concept of sustainable development and its components, in particular the Sustainable Development Goals and mechanisms of implementation of the concept of sustainable development in the activities of enterprises. The resource, economic, legal and social factors influencing the devel-opment of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine are determined. Recommendations have been devel-oped for the state and agricultural enterprises regarding actions to implement the concept of sus-tainable development in their activities and achieve the goals of sustainable development. The agri-cultural sector in Ukraine is relatively nascent, having commenced its comprehensive formation ap-proximately three decades ago. Presently, a majority of agricultural entities find themselves in a phase marked by the expansion of operations and the augmentation of capital assets. This circum-stance affords an opportunity wherein the entire industry may be structured in accordance with the tenets of sustainable development. Such an approach is poised not only to bolster the economic resil-ience of enterprises but also to ameliorate environmental conditions and enhance the overall welfare of the populace. Consequently, there arises a necessity to undertake an exhaustive examination aimed at discerning the contemporary status and distinctive features characterizing the evolution of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine. This examination should yield recommendations, particularly for governmental entities, delineating potential measures for the integration of sustainable devel-opment principles into the operational frameworks of agricultural enterprises. Today, most agricul-tural enterprises are at the stage of expansion of activities and development of capital assets. This creates conditions when the entire industry can be built on the principles of sustainable development, which will ensure not only the economic stability of enterprises, but also improve the state of ecology and the well-being of the population. In view of this, it becomes necessary to carry out a detailed study to determine the current state and characteristics of the development of agricultural enter-prises in Ukraine, to develop recommendations, in particular for the state, regarding potential steps for introducing the concept of sustainable development into the activities of agricultural enterprises.
Analysis of modern tools of investment in renewable energy of Ukraine
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Oleksiv Ihor , Dribniuk Andrii ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: January 2024

This article examines the investment tools within the renewable energy sector in Ukraine. As the world struggles with climate change, the transition to sustainable energy sources has become a global goal. Ukraine, in its pursuit of a greener and more environmentally responsible future, has seen the growth of its renewable energy sector. However, this growth has met challenges, demand-ing the development of strategic solutions. Companies operating in the renewable energy market are now increasingly aware of their social mission in contributing to the achievement of sustainable development goals. The transformation of the energy landscape reveals the necessity of collabora-tion between various stakeholders, including governments, local authorities, banks, investment funds, and households, whose role is critical in financing renewable energy projects. As financial markets evolve and concepts of ownership adapt to the changing landscape, a need to create inno-vative investment instruments tailored to the unique demands of the renewable energy sector emerges. This enables participants in the financing process to access a wide array of investment op-tions. Among these options, "green bonds" have become a particularly effective instrument for fi-nancing renewable energy projects. The study discussed in the article highlights the numerous ad-vantages associated with “green bonds”. These advantages include legislative provisions ensuring the targeted utilization of funds raised through green bonds and their high liquidity in developed fi-nancial markets. However, for the widespread implementation of “green bonds” in financing re-newable energy projects in Ukraine, a series of legislative and organizational improvements is cru-cial. These improvements should encompass both changes in legislation and the development of the domestic financial market. Overcoming these barriers is essential for bringing Ukraine closer to the successful achievement of its sustainable development goals. This transition to sustainable ener-gy not only contributes to the global climate change mitigation but also positions Ukraine as a re-sponsible and forward-thinking player in the international effort to create a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future.
The furniture market in the context of the development of the market od socially quasi-significant goods
Authors:   Social Sciences Akademy, Petecki Ignacy
Published: January 2024

It has been established that the furniture industry is a socially important part of the totality of Ukrainian wood-processing branches of the economy. It covers several enterprises that are engaged in both the production and sale of furniture to satisfy the residential and commercial needs of con-sumers. Products of the furniture industry are popular among consumers in any economic condition; the demand for them depends on the living conditions and income level of the population. In the last pre-war years, Ukraine constantly increased the production and export of furniture. At the same time, the Ukrainian furniture industry is characterized by a high level of competitiveness compared to other sectors of the economy that produce and sell pre-selected consumer goods. However, the furniture market in Ukraine, as well as the markets for other goods, were negatively affected by the conditions of martial law. They led to a decrease in demand for furniture, an increase in prices for raw materials and, accordingly, for finished products, the emergence of problems with raw materi-als and suppliers, damage, and even the destruction of several furniture manufacturers and sellers. However, even in such difficult conditions, Ukrainian furniture manufacturers export their goods to almost 100 countries around the world. In general, important trends in the development of the furni-ture market in Ukraine recently included: the development of the home furniture segment; the emergence and active growth of multi-brand furniture hypermarkets, which allow consumers to view goods from different manufacturers; and the development of online sales of furniture. To adapt to established changes in the environment of their operations, manufacturers and sellers of furniture must make changes in their marketing activities. Taking into account the above trends, it was de-termined that domestic furniture manufacturers need to improve their marketing policy, in particu-lar: develop the standard and semi-luxury price segments, taking into account the limited funds of the main consumers in the conditions of martial law; update the design of the offered furniture, pay-ing special attention to minimalism, loft, and hi-tech styles; more actively use Internet advertising, in particular in social networks; offer consumers the ability to independently determine furniture parameters online (size, color, used materials and accessories, etc.).

Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Seliuchenko Nadiya , Panchenko Anna ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: January 2024

Instability in the world makes it necessary to strengthen the military security of countries by modernizing armies, increasing armaments, using innovative technologies, which requires an in-crease in military expenditures. Such measures necessitate the restructuring of the economy, refor-matting of business in various branches of economic activity. And this question becomes relevant not only in those countries that are involved in the war, but also in neighboring countries and countries that have an influence on the world economy and politics. The purpose of the article is to study the trends in the volume of military expenditures for the period 2014-2022 in a number of countries that have the greatest influence on the world economy and politics. Currently, the United States, China, and Russia have the largest share of global arms expendi-tures. These countries are among the top five largest exporters of major types of weapons for 2018-2022. The top ten largest exporters of major types of weapons over the past five years include the highly developed countries of Europe - members of the "Big Seven": Germany; France; United Kingdom; Italy. US military spending fluctuated somewhat and was the lowest in 2017, but it began to grow al-ready in 2018. China has been increasing its defense budget every year in a row, and the constant in-crease has been going on since 1995. In Russia, these expenses decreased the most in 2017, slightly in 2018 and had the smallest volume this year. However, already in 2019, Russia's defense budget in-creased by 4.5%, and in 2022 by another 9.2%. A decrease in defense funding in Great Britain was observed in 2015-2016, and in subsequent years there is a tendency to increase it. Germany is char-acterized by a constantly growing trend with a slight decrease only in 2021. In France, an insignifi-cant decrease in military expenditures was observed in 2018. Italy had the most uneven nature of de-fense financing - if in 2019 a drop in expenditures by 2.7% was observed, then in In 2020, the in-crease was 22.8%. The study of the defense expenditures of these countries for the period 2014–2022 confirms that their volumes were determined both by the war in Ukraine and by the political situation in each country in particular.
