As a guarantor of human rights protection, the state must ensure the growth of the well-being of citizens, including by providing affordable and cheap consumer loans to the population. The in-creased level of debt on unsecured consumer loans of citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan makes it necessary to reduce the debt burden of the population to credit institutions. The purpose of the study was to compare the legislation and the practice of applying sustainability of banking legislation in the field of lending to individuals in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation. The article characterises the sustainability of banking legislation of the Republic of Kazakh-stan, describes the main legislative reforms, their implementation and consequenc-es. A comparative analysis of the measures taken in Kazakhstan to protect the rights of a borrower with the system of the Russian Federation as the most approx-imate in terms of economic and social indicators. The main problems of the activi-ty of credit institutions on the territory of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation were revealed and possible ways of their solution were found. It was concluded that nowadays the main problem of consumer lending is unfair lending by finan-cial organisations. It is necessary to adopt a separate law on consumer lending, which will ensure the protection of the interests of borrowers.","PeriodicalId":38202,"journal":{"name":"Rivista di Studi sulla Sostenibilita","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88180243","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 current stage of mod-ernisation of production can provide a significant impetus for economic growth and is a priority for governments and business leaders. Therefore, it is important to study project management strategies in the context of digital transformation in order to implement them in the enterprises of Kazakhstan. The purpose of the pa-per is to investigate the features and specifics of project management in modern conditions and search for methods of sustainable development of the state. The leading research method was the analysis, which made it possible to identify global trends in the field of project management for the implementation of innovations, as well as to assess the current state of enterprises in Kazakhstan after the Gov-ernment of the Republic of Kazakhstan approved the State Program \"Digital Ka-zakhstan\". As a result of the study, the features of project management for creat-ing a platform for the implementation of the Industry 4.0 for sustainable devel-opment of the state were identified.

This is the subject of further consid-eration of integrated marketing communications as a systematic approach to do-ing business, which allows making the most of all available business tools today. The purpose of the research was to solve the problems of integrated marketing communications related to the organisation of planning and management, ensur-ing the priority of consumer opinion, creation of individualised goods and services. Customisation is based on completing consumer goods with individual elements, component modules or additional exclusive accessories ordered by customers, whose demands are growing and changing. Customisation is understood not only as ensuring that a product or service meets the needs of a specific consumer, but also as designing them together with a future buyer. The article presents a custom-ised model of integrated marketing communications, which can be used by entre-preneurial structures of the restaurant business in the process of forming a com-plex of marketing communications to ensure the savings of their financial and or-ganisational resources, which lead the economic well-being of the enterprise. Based on the analysis, a formula for a customised model of integrated marketing com-munications was derived, which is based on the dynamics of the stages of the formation of IMC.

The purpose of the research is to analyse the prob-lems of the legal mechanism for protecting consumer rights based on the norms of sustainable development, identify and disclose modern problems related to the le-gal status of this area. The main method of the research was comparative analysis which allowed to compare the regional mechanisms for protecting consumer rights, considering the economic and political factors inherent in each of the countries. The conducted study allowed to reveal legal approaches to the study of consumer protection, to analyse the relevant current legislative framework. It is substantiated that the issues of consumer protection are given due attention in many countries. It was concluded that during the development of the latest corrective legislative acts governing consumer protection mechanisms in the countries of the European Union, the Republic of Kazakhstan and India, the positive aspects of world experience, the content of these legal documents were considered.

To achieve the objectives of the study, the comparative method is used as the main one, both in horizontal and vertical as-pects. At the same time, the classical inductive method is used to formulate many provisions as an addition. For comparison, the authors of the study take the expe-rience of the United States, Russia, and China as the main trading partners of Ka-zakhstan, relations with which are of decisive importance for the country. From the stated provisions, it was concluded that the labour law of the Republic of Ka-zakhstan is quite progressive, although they need to be adjusted. Among the ana-lysed provisions, first of all, it is necessary to correct the size of the minimum wage, as the most important economic and legal indicator, and also to consider the pos-sibility of extending the minimum paid leave from 24 to 28 days. Therewith, the provisions on a written employment contract and the protection of employees from unjustified dismissal are quite progressive.","PeriodicalId":38202,"journal":{"name":"Rivista di Studi sulla Sostenibilita","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88640215","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}

It was established that in modern crisis conditions, in order to ensure a stable competitive position in the passenger and freight transport market, railway transport enterprises should focus on the systematic introduction of innovations, improving management methods, and enhance the quality of business processes. The definition of the concept of \"competitiveness of railway transport enterprises\" was clarified by summarizing scientific works and studying the competitive ad-vantages of industry enterprises. The main requirements of consumers for the ser-vices of railway transport enterprises are systematized, the consideration of which in the process of transport services will contribute to increasing the competitive ad-vantage of railway enterprises. An algorithmic sequence of benchmarking for rail-way transport enterprises was created in the article. An innovative model for ensur-ing the competitiveness and the sustainability of railway transport enterprises has been developed, which contributes to their adaptation to a dynamic external envi-ronment by organizing the continuity of innovative development aimed at finding and constantly introducing innovations as a basis for the formation of sustainable competitive advantages by railway transport enterprises in a crisis environment.
