The purpose of the study is to develop and present methodological approaches to optimizing the procurement system in the company, which allow obtaining an economic result, facilitating manageability, and providing additional effects. The analysis of a case (case study) of optimization of procurement activities in a particular large company was used as the basic research method, a comparison was made of the parameters of the procurement system before and after transformation. The experience of a domestic company in this direction, which has undergone a process optimization procedure and received the necessary economic and managerial effects, has been considered. the reasons that required these changes, the difficulties faced by the company during the implementation of the changes, the advantages of centralization are identified. The assessment showed the need for significant investments, which, however, paid off in the next few years due to a reduction in the number, centralization of purchases, and standardization of contractual relations.","PeriodicalId":31948,"journal":{"name":"Mir Ekonomiki i Upravlenia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135287839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By such projects, the authors mean initiatives aimed at solving social problems (for example, in the field of health care, education or crime reduction) through sports. Approaches to the evaluation of social projects in general, and its features for sports, in particular, are still poorly represented in the academic literature. At the same time, the reduction in funding and the relevance of choosing a limited number of initiatives from plenty will make this topic even more in demand. As a research methodology, the authors used an analysis of existing grant competitions and review of methods used by charitable organizations. In particular, the provisions of 11 competitions aimed at supporting social initiatives in the field of sports, as well as annual reports of several charitable foundations, were considered. As a result, it was found that expert models and change theory are among the most popular. Besides authors present a comparative analysis of the assessment criteria used. Foreign assessment practice is more focused on monetary models, including SROI and cost-benefit, which are not yet sufficiently common in Russia. The conducted research can be of value for organizations that implement and support social projects in the field of sports, as well as for the public sector, primarily from the standpoint of developing their own assessment methodology and substantiating the criteria used.","PeriodicalId":31948,"journal":{"name":"Mir Ekonomiki i Upravlenia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135287548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amongst many risk aversion-adjusted methods of project valuation proposed by economists, the Cozzolino criterion appears to be the most appropriate. However, being applied to the problem of determining the optimum working interest in an exploration venture, this criterion yields an anomalous result such that the optimum working interest first increases and then decreases as the potential gain increases. This problem has inspired an intensive discussion in the oil and gas economics literature but, apart from attempts to overcome the problem by adding extraneous constraints that are somewhat palliative in nature, there has not been proposed a clear and acceptable procedure for overcoming all difficulties. In this article, it is shown that the paradoxical result can be explained if one steps outside the narrow limits of the working interest optimization task and view the issue as a part of a broader problem of building an investment portfolio. The authors propose a decomposition of the total impact of the project gain change on the optimum working interest into two components that resemble the substitution effect and the income effect. Both components have intuitively understandable economic sense and unambiguous sign. The resulting sign of the total impact depends upon the relative sizes of the two oppositely directed effects that can be calculated numerically, thus providing a better understanding of the issue.","PeriodicalId":31948,"journal":{"name":"Mir Ekonomiki i Upravlenia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135287840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of the work is to identify key (anchor) companies that can have a significant impact on the development of the high-tech sector and serve as the basis for the country's technological sovereignty. The theoretical basis of the analysis is the adapted anchor tenant hypothesis, which came from the real estate economy. Anchor high-tech and knowledge-intensive companies order research; create new technological solutions, from which new companies subsequently arise; are involved in the training process; show a stable demand for materials, raw materials, components; and also provide their partners with the opportunity to integrate into global value chains. Analysis of high-tech and knowledge-intensive companies performance micro data (SPARK-Interfax database) showed that in 2016-2020 73% of companies belong to seven sectors (these are activities in the field of architecture and engineering design, etc., chemical and automotive industries, telecom, scientific activities, software development and mechanical engineering, etc.), which account for 64-67% of the total revenue of the Russian high-tech business. Based on an analysis of the level of concentration and stability of leadership in these key activities, 43 companies were selected to potentially be considered anchor high-tech and knowledge-intensive companies. Further, taking into account the weight of companies in their industries and comparing their dynamics with the industry, 12 leading anchor companies were identified, united in three groups - \"stability\", \"forward movement\" and \"explosive growth\". The position and prospects of the leading companies were considered in more detail. The analysis showed that in the Russian economy there are examples of successful high-tech and science-intensive companies that, if the emerging opportunities are realized, can act as an “anchor” of technological development.","PeriodicalId":31948,"journal":{"name":"Mir Ekonomiki i Upravlenia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135287841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of modern information and communication technologies in the urban environment improves the comfort of life, the efficiency of urban space management, leads to sustainable development and rational consumption of resources. However, like other approaches, there are risks associated with the accelerated and large-scale introduction of modern technologies and the unpreparedness of society to accept them. Digitalization should not the aim, government should use an integrated approach. This work is devoted to the study of the risks of introducing the concept of a smart city. There are technological risks (absence or imperfection of domestic technological solutions in this area, cybersecurity threats: risks of system instability and data leaks), economic (low efficiency of implemented innovations, growing digital divide), managerial (technical and psychological unpreparedness of the authorities, loss of urban authenticity ), institutional (legislation behind the practice of applying modern technologies, the presence of a conflict of interest between public and private commercial interests), related to human capital (unpreparedness of the population to use technology, the risk of a technocratic approach to the implementation of the concept) and environmental risks. Although the literature has given more attention to the technological risks of a smart city, other risks (like economic, managerial, etc.) are also important. These risks are closely related and have a significant impact on the process of digital transformation of the urban environment, which may slow it down or reduce its effectiveness. Therefore, it is necessary to take them into account when planning the implementation and development of a smart city.","PeriodicalId":31948,"journal":{"name":"Mir Ekonomiki i Upravlenia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135287842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the first stage, the product groups of Rosstat were regrouped into commodity markets in order to more fully use the data of Rosstat and the Bank of Russia Enterprise Monitoring in the component-by-component modeling of the consumer price index of the Siberia macroregion. At the second stage, for each commodity market in Siberia and each period of price dynamics (the entire series, acceleration and deceleration of price growth), using the LARS method, factors of price dynamics were selected and then, in order to arrange the selected factors according to the degree of influence on commodity prices, linear regression models were trained. It is shown that, despite the close characteristics of the initial factor spaces, the models of non-food markets included a smaller number of features. This fact, together with the lower quality of non-food models, suggests that the generated space of factors, reflecting predominantly regional specifics, is less suitable for explaining the price dynamics of non-food products, which are more tradable in nature. Using the mean reciprocal rank metric, the most significant factors in a variety of commodity markets were identified. The comparison of factors showed that in both types of markets, during periods of accelerating price growth, the influence of the RUONIA interbank lending rate and the price index for investment products is more significant, and during periods of slowdown, the influence of the index of the real exchange rate of the ruble against the dollar, producer price indices by sectors and the amount of debt on loans to individuals. It was found that in the food markets of Siberia, the main factor of inflation is producer prices in commodity markets, while the non-food markets are most affected by the RUONIA interbank lending rate. In addition, non-food markets are more influenced by world prices, which also reflects the greater integration of non-food producers into the international division of labor and, conversely, the greater localization of food value chains.","PeriodicalId":31948,"journal":{"name":"Mir Ekonomiki i Upravlenia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134974561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
