For this purpose, various tools are used, among which are secret sub-sanction agreements. This paper studies secret sub-sanction agreements as an extension of negotiation theory. A model of secret sub-sanction agreements is proposed to highlight the strategies of market players and the level of opacity (secrecy) that will be achieved to enforce the contract. A modification of the principal-agent incentive contract model is also proposed that takes into account the risks of secondary sanctions against the agent. To verify the models and to study the problem under study in more detail, the cases of secret sub-sanction agreements and their outcomes are considered.","PeriodicalId":290417,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Research of Faculty of Economics.

This article examines in detail main factors of the external and internal environment that influenced the change in the shares of companies on the Russian e-grocery market and provided strategic competitive advantages to leaders in the long-term period. As the result of studying the market situation during the period from 2019 to 2021, it was revealed that over the three years of the development of the e-grocery market in Russia, in each of the period different players were in the lead. Utkonos, X5 Retail Group and Sbermarket occupied from 13% to 19.5% of the total market. Based on data obtained during the market analysis using SV Matrix, the Russian e-grocery has moved from the stage of formation, competition between small players to the stage of maturity and struggle between consolidated alpha-companies. High entry barriers to a mature market require new companies to have sufficient capacity already at the start to secure their positions.","PeriodicalId":290417,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Research of Faculty of Economics.

Currently, more significant competition is manifested at the level of industrial clusters. The aim of this article is to study the model of the life cycle of textile industry clusters. The author examines the main schools of the theory of the life cycle of industrial clusters and chooses the theory of five stages of the life cycle of industrial clusters proposed by T. Andersson as the theoretical basis for this article. The textile industry cluster in the Chinese province of Zhejiang, where the largest number of textile enterprises in China is concentrated, was chosen as the object of research. Using the method of identifying the location coefficient based on the public databases of the Chinese Bureau of Statistics and the Bureau of Statistics of Zhejiang Province from 2002 to 2022 to determine the textile industry clusters in Zhejiang Province, the author found that the results calculated by the method of identifying the location coefficient correspond exactly to the five-stage development model of the Andersson cluster. From 2017 to 2020, the development of industrial clusters entered the stage of transformation, and the pace of development slowed down. Facing the risk of recession, with the help of external forces such as government support for industrial policy and internal forces such as technological and market innovations, the textile industry cluster in Zhejiang Province successfully transformed and entered a new life cycle.","PeriodicalId":290417,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Research of Faculty of Economics.

To do this, the article discusses the main problems that exist in Russia in the field of attracting managers at the current moment. The article highlights the advantages of OMPC: the effectiveness of the selection of candidates and competitive procedures. However, the most common criticism of the methodology and mechanisms of the \"Leaders of Russia\" competition is also considered: some of the problems have an accessible solution, others can only be corrected to a small extent without deviating from the declared goals and principles of the competition - the thesis is substantiated that a departure from the fundamental principles of OMPC is impractical. It is concluded that the introduction of a system for assessing the competencies of candidates, in which the qualities of applicants for leadership positions will be identified through a competitive selection system, will improve the quality of public administration as a whole.","PeriodicalId":290417,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Research of Faculty of Economics.

In terms of Marx's six books, \"Foreign Trade\" was supposed to be the fifth book.

In volume I, a provision is put forward according to which countries exporting high-tech goods increase national value wealth.Volume III examines at the national level the law of the average rate of profit, which is carried out by redistributing the value created in labor-intensive industries in favor of capital–intensive industries through prices: prices for labor–intensive goods decrease, and prices for capital–intensive ones increase.The law of the average rate of profit operates at the international level. The wealth of nonindustrial countries is redistributed in favor of industrial ones. The reconstructed theory of Marx explains «How rich countries got rich... and why poor countries stay poor» (E.
