Corporate governance is a process of overcoming the problems of a company’s growth and identifying sources of funding, one of which is emission. At present, the problem of the relationship between corporate governance and other aspects of management, for example, with competitiveness and the search for investments, is poorly consecrated. A change in the format of financing inevitably affects the nature of corporate governance - one or another version of insider corporate governance arises. The purpose of the article is to assess the impact of the corporate governance model on the company’s growth indicators and its competitiveness. Currently, additional drivers of economic growth and tools for strengthening competitiveness are needed. If earlier, companies tried to increase the capitalization of companies, increase the efficiency of the use of resources and production, and thus increase the income of shareholders, now shareholders are interested in creating a competitive stable company with stable growth prospects. The problems of optimizing the structure of equity capital, its dependence on the stage of the life cycle, capitalization, break-even point, the number of shareholders and the status of the company are constantly being discussed. The financial behavior of market entities has changed, the volumes of disintermediation have been reduced, further differentiation of tax rates has occurred, which leads to the need for: formation of a mechanism for sustainable growth and strengthening the competitiveness of the company; creation of stable profit distribution schemes and optimization of the tax burden on investors, both for companies and individuals; differentiation of investors; ensuring adequate dividend payments.","PeriodicalId":349001,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Volgogradskogo gosudarstvennogo universiteta.

The main technologies within the fourth industrial revolution, which began at the turn of the 21st century, are cyberphysical systems, the Internet of things and cloud computing. Any industrial revolution implies a rapid increase in labor productivity. However, in most countries, the average annual growth rate of gross value added per person employed in industry, including energy, has been steadily declining over the past 30 years, and in a number of countries in the 2010s, they were negative. Those states that in the 2000s, accelerated the growth rate of gross value added per employed person compared to the 1990s, in the 2010s they reduced them to a level less than in the 1990s. The average annual GDP growth rate at PPP per hour worked also showed a slowdown in the 21st century. The fourth industrial revolution has as its main consequence increased digital control over citizens and enterprises. In industry and agriculture, a decrease in production volumes and a reduction in employment is predicted. The discourse of the fourth industrial revolution seems to have as its goal the formation of a positive perception of digitalization technologies and total control by humanity.","PeriodicalId":349001,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Volgogradskogo gosudarstvennogo universiteta.

Based on the example of the largest energy company in Russia – “Electric lighting company of 1886”, established by the entrepreneur originated from Germany, Karl Siemens, the process of russification of the foreign management in electrotechnical industry is demonstrated. Domination of foreign specialists at the initial stage of the establishment of industry was mostly caused by objective circumstances, connected both with specifics of functioning of joint stock companies in Russia and with the absence of the required competencies of local managers related to the management of electrotechnical companies. On the one hand, this problem was being resolved by granting a Russian citizenship to the founders and shareholders of acting joint stock companies and on the other hand, this niche was actively occupied by the graduates of local technical schools who displaced foreign management. This process has been developing most quickly during the First World War when the state introduced instead of foreign shareholders a “special management board” represented by local specialists. However, this problem has not been fully resolved due to various reasons.","PeriodicalId":349001,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Volgogradskogo gosudarstvennogo universiteta.

The methodologies of evolutionary and systemic approaches in economic theory were used as tools for this analysis. The evolution of concepts and content of terms denoting any socio-economic phenomena does not occur independently, but is interconnected with the development of productive forces and production relations in a given society. It is determined by the logic of the development unambiguously. The human capital as a scientific category is not an exception. Despite the fact that this term appeared relatively recently, the economic phenomenon that it denotes has existed for as long as we talk about productive labor and capital in the modern sense. As a result, the evolution of economic systems and concepts describing them has led to the analytical identification of two key elements of human capital: education and health. Ignoring at least one of these elements in the analysis would prevent from understanding the true economic nature of human capital, while adding new ones would not change the phenomenon significantly.","PeriodicalId":349001,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Volgogradskogo gosudarstvennogo universiteta.

In this regard, one of the main instruments of direct influence is the tax burden, which is closely monitored by financial departments. The attractiveness of the tax jurisdiction depends on its objective calculation and management. However, sometimes there are additional hidden non-tax payments that are not taken into account in the standard burden indicator, but at the same time, sometimes having a significant impact on the fiscal costs of legal entities and individuals. The article provides an overview of the main definitions that characterize the amount of taxpayer’s payments to the state: load, burden, oppression, pressure, and the like. The approaches of Russian and foreign methods for determining the value under study are presented. It was clarified that in addition to the tax, there is a non-tax component of the burden that is gradually growing. The sequence of collection of para-fiscal non-tax payment is visualized. Based on this, a general definition of the fiscal burden is formulated, which includes tax and non-tax (para-tax) components. At the end of the article, the authors assess the magnitude of the load in three components and formulate the conclusions of the study.","PeriodicalId":349001,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Volgogradskogo gosudarstvennogo universiteta.

This forecast allows to do variant calculations of economy and its industries requirement of the import substitution; to determine, based on the actual or required indicators of the scale and economy’s growth rate, the rational structure of the country’s foreign trade turnover, the optimal ratio between domestic production, exports and imports, the level of employment and household income both at the macrolevel and in the context of individual industries and commodity groups, taking into account the real situation in the economy. The import substitution effectiveness was calculated with using multicomponent analysis; the forecast of the import substitution effectiveness and its impact on economic growth was carried out using the regression modeling method in two directions: 1) forecast the values of complex indicator of import substitution, leading to a given GDP growth; 2) a point forecast of the import substitution effectiveness parameters, ensuring the strengthening of its positive impact on economic growth in Russia, solving the optimization problem. The results can be used in the activities of public administration aimed at adjusting the country’s socio-economic development plans and effective import substitution program development.","PeriodicalId":349001,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Volgogradskogo gosudarstvennogo universiteta.
