          <artTitle lang="ENG">Discussions on the need for a single world currency in today’s globalized multipolar world</artTitle>
        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">This paper discloses the manifestations of globalization in the overall monetary and financial sphere; the practice of using a national currency as an international currency in the second half of the 20th century; the conflicting economic interests of Euro-Area countries at the beginning of the 21st century; the concept of creating a global reserve currency and its criticism. An attempt was made to assess positive and negative consequences of using the US dollar as the world's reserve currency in the 20th century; to consider the main advantages and contradictions in the functioning of the Euro as a regional currency; to present various positions on the political benefits and economic contradictions with respect to using the global reserve currency; to justify the assumption that the system of multiple reserve currencies should be preserved and further developed. However, the author does not exclude the possible emergence of a global supranational currency, the functioning of which will not be subject to the political will or economic conditions of individual states or their groups. It is hypothesized that the single international currency of the future will be electronic. The singular and specific character of electronic money is exemplified by the experience of using the digital currency known as Bitcoin. Its introduction spurred the creation of a new way of money emission and turnover, and generated a number of controversial opinions on the perspectives of its application. Most significantly, Bitcoin differs from traditional types of electronic money and cashless payment instruments in the way that Bitcoin emitters assume no liability whatsoever. Bitcoin is a virtual currency, a number associated with a number of conditions. Only the person who meets access requirements can use the money. It is typical to use a Bitcoin address, but there are other options as well. Bitcoins can be used only within the Bitcoin payment system. The value of Bitcoin is not pegged to the value of any other currency or asset. Its exchange rate is determined only by supply and demand. The issues of how distant the above-described future is and whether the cyber currency will still be called Bitcoin remain pending. The answers will unfold along with further development of information technology and deepening globalisation of international economic relations. It is infinitely more difficult to foretell the name of this global electronic currency and its emitter, or, at least, the institution that would support and regulate the issue, turnover, and destruction of electronic payment instruments.</abstract>

          <artTitle lang="ENG">Optimal control over unstable macroeconomic systems</artTitle>
        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The article presents a mathematical description of the process of an optimal control over an unstable macroeconomic system based on the Leontief’s input-output model. The optimal equation allows setting a balanced growth rate for a macroeconomic system. It is the main problem in the current development of regional and national economies. The methods of an optimal control are generally applicable to stable systems. This article shows that a developing macroeconomic system is unstable and therefore an optimal control over it has its peculiarities. An unstable macrosystem is divided into two subsystems: a stable multidimensional and an unstable one-dimensional. The stable system is optimized via standard methods, where a single growing exponent sets the growth rate of the entire system from the second unstable system. In order to divide the system, the author suggests using a homothetic transformation. To calculate the parameters of an optimal control a Riccati equation is used. The results of solving a matrix of factors determine the cost of restructuring unstable macroeconomic systems with a balanced growth rate. The knowledge of the cost of an optimal control and restructuring creates prerequisites for a more effective process to manage socio-economic politics in the region and the whole country. These results play a vital role in decision-making processes of management and administrative bodies concerning statistical analyses and managing the economic situation. The results are based on the hypothesis that the dynamic models of macroeconomic systems are linear. In practice, actual economic systems are subject to various effects like synergy and self-organization. They cannot be described under the linearity hypothesis. Our future research requires the elaboration upon the problems of an optimal control over nonlinear and unstable economic systems.</abstract>

          <artTitle lang="ENG">Analytical review of changes in entrepreneurial intentions in various countries according to data obtained via global monitoring</artTitle>
        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The article provides an analysis of such indicators as entrepreneurial intentions and entrepreneurial status. The indicators of entrepreneurial activity were studied in respect to various factors and incentive motives to start a business. The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) database was used. Data obtained in the course of the survey of the economically active population in such countries as Russia, China, the United States, India, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy and Japan were studied. The analysis of entrepreneurial intentions and other indicators was conducted for each country, which resulted in producing comprehensive summaries. Entrepreneurial activity is of interest for the economically active population in all the countries considered in this paper, as it is a good career choice. Successful entrepreneurs enjoy high social status among the population of all the reviewed countries. The index of early-stage entrepreneurial activity is significantly higher than the rate of business discontinuation, which testifies to the ongoing rapid development of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship has now become one of the most important life spheres for a considerable part of the adult population to apply their efforts in. In some cases, their entrepreneurial activities are not considered primary and are pursued on an occasional basis, in spare time. In the Russian Federation, entrepreneurship has gained momentum in recent years. It ranks quite high in the public’s mind. There is a number of prospective entrepreneurs, well-grounded and not averse to taking risks with their own businesses. The further development and the support of entrepreneurial activity in the Russian Federation require institutional changes, including eliminating ambiguities and uncertainties in the legislation and ensuring its ability to respond to present-day challenges, improving mechanisms for state regulation and reducing administrative barriers. It is of particular importance to provide access of entrepreneurs to financial resources by reducing credit interest rates and developing special loan programs for budding entrepreneurs.</abstract>

        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The given paper focuses on the theoretical approaches that enable to estimate the influence of the development of small business on the factors of the economic growth. It discusses the evaluation of the role of small business in the context of the theories of reforms at the present stage. It is proved that the functioning technology of the short-term and medium-term forecasting hardly takes into account the enterprising potency of the population and it leads to the reduction of efficiency of the taken decisions both on the federal and regional levels. It is shown that the decisions to change the conditions of the functioning of small business should account for the estimation of the labour market and the regional peculiarities. It is necessary to develop and expand the existing practice of the medium-term forecasting with the procedures and methods that allow to estimate the decisions taken by the authorities regarding small business from the position of their influence on the factors of the economic growth. These approaches and procedures are performed on the formal level using the methods of econometric simulation, and they will considerably facilitate the process of complex expert analysis of consumer demand and income which usually was executed. Within the frame of the short-term forecast, it is offered to develop the procedures and methods that make it possible to modify the rational correlation of small forms and large enterprises in accordance with the tasks of the modernization period of the country.</abstract>

        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The regional market of Knowledge is the economic system, the infrastructure of which implements a function to enhance continuously the competent level of enterprises' manufacturing-technological systems. It provides the increase in sales of products and /or services that have market cost, in other words, competitive advantage on the market. Products of the market of Knowledge are educational bachelor's programs by the major «Innovation» and master's programs by the major «Innovation management», which is university's intellectual property and intangible assets. The mechanical-engineering enterprises of the municipal district have been offered to purchase these intangible assets in the form of «Rights to manage the study process under the Bachelor’s Educational Program» and «Rights to manage the study process under the Master’s Educational Program» adapted to the competent level of manufacturing-technological systems of each enterprise. These Educational Programs have been accredited in the Russian Federation and submitted for the ASIIN accreditation. The estimation of capitalizing the balance cost of intangible assets shows that managing amortization techniques allows adjusting the base for the tax on operating income. Besides, if we have a group of at least 10 students who pay for the course of 4 years – the study period of bachelor students -, it will result in the capitalization of 3.47. The main advantage of the concept of the municipal infrastructure of the Knowledge market is the formation of a market structure based on the purchase of intangible assets, which provides funding for accreditation of Educational Programs at the European accreditation agencies. The proposed methodology to assess the level of competence in manufacturing-technological systems provides reasonable investments into their competent level and functional capabilities. The methodology allows controlling the stability of consumer properties of products having a competitive advantage on the market.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The article analyzes the ways to improve the international competitiveness of the Russian steel industry, the basis of the Russian economy. The concept of sectoral competitiveness is discussed and the methods to evaluate competitiveness in terms of the outcome, i. e. the ability to sell products in certain markets and the quality of existing competitive advantages, are suggested. The application of the proposed methodology enabled us to indicate lower competitive position of the Russian metallurgical enterprises within the last ten years. Thus, the application of a systematic approach to the problem of improving sectoral competitiveness is quite uptodate. According to this, the effective sectoral innovation system is to be established to provide interaction of economic agents. A key role in it is given to the system of higher metallurgical education as it is reflected in all stages of the innovation cycle, from training highly qualified personnel to the commercialization of research results. We focus on the development of the sectoral innovation system, which is to enable us to increase international competitiveness of Russian steel industry and to determine the direction of development of the Russian system of higher metallurgical education, consistent with the objectives of the sectoral innovation system. As a result, we have ensured the key role of higher education supported by the state in the development of the metallurgical industry innovation system. Due to the role of higher education in innovation and development of the industry we focuse on motivation of metallurgical enterprises to build relationships with universities.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The paper presents the findings of a terminological analysis of the basic definitions related to the results-based method of energy saving management at the regional level. The authors highlighted the features of the regulatory framework for regional energy saving management. Ambiguity and incompleteness of the terminological system, lack of coherence in terminology of newly-introduced and earlier-accepted regulatory documents make the research important. The aim of the research is to synthesize and refine new terms on the basis of analysis of the existing terminology in the modern paradigm of the regulatory and methodological framework in terms of the regional policy of energy saving. The tasks of the research are: to define the main elements of the terminological system; identify the terms which definitions are absent from the terminological system, but used in the regulatory framework; carry out terminological analysis; link together the following terms: a subject of the Russian Federation, a region, state (regional government) energy saving and energy efficiency policy, a program related to energy saving and energy efficiency. In order to solve the tasks set, the authors’ of the study applied the methodology of terminological analysis with an emphasis on an analytical approach. The scientific novelty of the findings of the phase of the research is to expand and clarify the modern terminological system related to the development and implementation of regional energy efficiency programs. The authors introduced explicit definitions of «regional policy in the field of energy saving and energy efficiency», «a program in the field of energy saving and energy efficiency». The authors stressed the importance of using a unified terminology system in energy saving management, including at the regional level, as an opportunity to reduce the uncertainty and subjectivity in making appropriate managerial decisions.</abstract>

        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">This article is concerned with the problem of energy saving and energy efficiency increase in Russia’s petroleum refining industry. Power-intensive production is one of the petroleum refinery sector’s characteristics. The costs of fuel and energy resources are influenced by the production cost. This type of costs is found after the raw material costs in the cost structure in petroleum refining. The article deals with typical development trends of the Russian petroleum refining industry. Attention is drawn to the special aspects of energy consumption at Russia’s petroleum refineries. Lines of the energy saving and opportunities to increase energy efficiency are formulated. Different classifications of energy-saving measures are described in this text. The authors analyze the current approaches to the efficiency assessment of the resource and energy-saving projects for industrial enterprises. The authors of this article worked out a relative integrated index of the total effects due to the implementation of the energy-saving projects per 1 ruble of capital investments. In order to develop a portfolio of the energy-saving program, it is proposed to select a number of measures, ranking them according to the values of the worked out indicators. The best alternative of energy-saving measures implementation for the petroleum refinery is the decrease of energy consumption, reduction of the energy intensity of production, the potential increase in the yield of light petroleum products, fall of fees for the emissions into the environment and improving the financial and economic development level of the region as a result of an additional income to the regional budget. The original feature of the research is an enhancement of approach to the selection of the energy-saving projects to be implemented. This approach allows taking into account the particular characteristics of petroleum refining, which are energy saving, regional and environmental effects and the effect of quality.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The article examines the population life quality as one of the most important indicators that reflect the level of development of any country, and its evaluation. The intricacy of the problem of life quality assessment is due to a large number of indicators on hand. The authors presented the basic theoretical concepts of life quality and methodological approaches to measuring and assessing life quality (objectivist and subjectivist). Particular attention is devoted to one of the main indicators of life quality – Human development index. Presented is the analysis of its calculation by the old technique, which was used until 2010, and by the new one, currently adopted. The main purpose of using the human development index is to draw up the inter-regional ranking of countries with a view to assess the population life quality dynamics and to compare it with other territories. 75 countries with high, average and low values of HDI were chosen for the analysis. The correlation coefficient is counted, proving the linear dependence between final values of the HDI, made by means of the old and the new methods for different countries. Calculation of the Russian Federation HDI is made using the Federal State Statistics Service data. The result differs from the RF HDI in the global HDI ranking presented by the UN report, which could be explained by using statistic data for calculating from different sources.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">This article is about modeling the corporate behavior of a financial and industrial structure under the present social and economic conditions in our country. Analyzing the publications related to the international and Russian practices in the sphere of forming, functioning and developing industrial corporations one can make a conclusion that they represent one of the ways to integrate financial, industrial and trade capitals by means of a a complex participation system. On the basis of the undertaken analysis we have developed goal-setting concerning the congruence of interests in the enterprisesof vertically-integrated financial and industrial structures based on the suggested interest congruence principles and taking into account the specifics of the present economic conditions in Russia. We have researched the congruence of economic interests of enterprises in vertically integrated structures on the basis of two economic and mathematical models. The support model describes the coordination of the economic interests of each enterprise in a vertically integrated structure in particular with decentralized money distribution. The central one shows the congruence of the economic interests of enterprises in a vertically integrated structure with centralized money. These models form the generalized chart of modeling the corporate behavior of enterprises with a vertically integrated structure. Putting the suggested models into practice allows increasing the effectiveness of these financial and industrial structures due to the synergetic effect from forming interest congruence mechanisms based on optimizing the enterprises’ innovation plans in the corporate structure with decentralized and centralized money distribution. Introducing the developed economic and mathematical models and procedures into the corporative management system of financial and industrial structures boosts the effectiveness of their industrial and business operations, creates the necessary conditions for long-term sustainable development. The considered models can be structurally extended by means of including social and economic public interests and their realization within the framework of the public-private partnership system.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The article analyzes the current economic situation in Russia. It considers the principle models of resource management, such as lean production, the theory of constraints, and the resource-based view. It also reveals how using one of the resource management models correlates with the present state of the Russian economy and examines the appearance of foreign automotive companies in the Russian market and its causes. The paper presents examples of adopting the modern organizational technology – lean production in the industrial enterprises, such as the Ural Automotive Plant (Chelyabinsk region), which is part of the GAZ Group, the KamAZ Automotive Plant, and the Signal Engels Instrument Making Association. These enterprisers were the pioneers in implementing lean production principles in Russia. One more example is Tatneft, which has recently started applying the methods of this organizational technology as well. Another remarkable example in the service sector is Sberbank, the largest bank in Russia and Eastern Europe. The article considers the Sberbank Production System as part of Sberbank’s Development Strategy and provides its interim results and new goals. The authors offer an explanation of why Russian companies often face difficulties when implementing lean production. Applying lean production principles is deemed to be one of the possible measures to overcome the current economic crisis in Russia.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">Today’s fast-changing market environment makes certain demands on the management system of modern companies. The management system, represented by the enterprise architecture, should have a balanced structure and be mature enough to promptly react to inner and outer business challenges. The system approach to enterprise management means that enterprise architecture components must be formed, reformed and developed taking into account their interdependency. As processes and projects are core components of business architecture, not only they seriously influence, but also define its maturity level. There are a number of existing process and project management maturity models, but no well-known research concerning their joint maturity and the maturity of business architecture. The balance between maturity levels of the mentioned components as a key factor of the balanced business architecture and its development is in the focus of the paper. Analysis of the existing processes and project maturity models has shown that there is a high correlation between maturity levels of these management approaches. Combination of process and project management maturity levels is a reliable diagnostic tool for estimating whether the business architecture is balanced or not. At the same time combination of the maturity levels of process and project management in the company is a way to determine the path of sustainable development of the company’s management system. The paper is focused on exploring the ways to manage business architecture maturity via its key components’ maturity management.</abstract>

          <abstract lang="ENG">Nowadays, the development of the domestic industry is the main task of an economic strategy of the country. The development of processing industries that include the enterprises of timber processing complex has to become the key issue. The improvement of the management of the working capital that serves the production and marketing process of the industrial enterprise is one of the essential problems of the modern production management. The article focuses on the peculiarities of the implementation of the production and marketing activities causing the necessity to develop a new mechanism of the performance management of limited reverse resources to receive the highest economic results from all financial and economic activities. The existing approaches to the development of the management policy are outlined. However, each individual enterprise has to form an individual technique (tools and methods) in the developing situation. The authors show that the previous methods of the working capital management of manufacturing enterprises (rationing) in a modern unstable and unpredictable economy do not work successfully. It is noted that the exiting methods, used by western companies and economists, cannot be effectively implemented in the current business environment. Therefore, under present circumstances it is necessary to provide the enterprises with some operational adaptation ways of the regulation of ensuring production and marketing process with current assets. It is essential for each enterprise to develop the working capital management policy individually. Only its own resources and interests should guide it. The authors draw a conclusion that the duration of the turnover used for the working capital and the established profitability at every stage and in general for PSP should act as the performance criteria of an adopted policy of the working capital management.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The article contains a mathematical model of parametrized network of knowledge exchange. It considers a process of knowledge spreading among a group of people united by common professional interests (a company or its sub-unit). A network is described by a fuzzy graph where vertices stand for individuals and edges – for contacts between them. A fuzzy set of edges defines the process quality characteristics that have direct influence on the result: coincidence of professional interests of individuals (in the model – cognitive potential of knowledge transfer) and evaluation of communication activity between them (how often they communicate – communication intensity). The first parameter is defined on the base of knowledge structure of individuals (for particular knowledge domain). The second one – communication intensity – is counted on information of communication occurrence (one-on-one communication, in groups, round tables and other ways of communication are taken into account). On the base of the quality parameters of relation between members of a group the model define clusters in a network (connected components in the graph theory) – subgroups of individuals that have strong productive communication among them. The model has a set of overall process characteristics of the process of knowledge spreading and may be used for analysis of network states in different timestamps and as consequence of all that – for knowledge management support. Information for analysis can be retrieved for corporate social networks. The model itself and its instruments can be added as an add-on to corporate networks to sustain knowledge management in organization. The article contains an example of the model use (calculation, analysis, illustration of fuzzy graphs). It defines the model’s advantages and probable ways of improvement.</abstract>
