Search engine marketing (SEM), which includes search engine (contextual) advertising (SEA) and search engine optimization (SEO), allows toachieve this aim by means of technical settings and consideration of marketing aspects in creating user experiences. The effectiveness of search engine marketing is tested in practice with the help of web analytics, which allows real-time tracking of traffic, its sources, and user actions, which helps identify the most effective tools and advertising campaigns. In the context of the emerging impression economy, improving the user experience of potential and existing customers at every touchpoint depends on the speed and convenience of achieving user goals in the digital environment. Search engine marketing is based on users’ search queries in the face of actualized demand. Therefore, websites that are quickly accessible in search and contain a value proposition in accordance with the search queries of potential customers will be convenient for users, have a competitive advantage by providing positive impressions based on an improved customer experience. This approach ensures that the interests of both users and businesses are satisfied, thus achieving the goals of digital marketing and business efficiency in general. The aim of the recearh is to substantiate the relationship between search contextual advertising and search engine optimization as search engine marketing tools and to identify their synergistic impact on creating positive user experiences, increasing targeted traffic and increasing website conversion.

In today’s world, enterprises cannot exist without the introduction of innovative processes into production or to existing goods or services. The application of innovations in marketing, which increases profitability by 10%, is extremely relevant today, so there is an urgent need to study the spread of innovations in e-trade, taking into account marketing management. The aim of the article is to determine the impact of marketing management on the spread of innovations in e-trade. The research was conducted using methods of theoretical generalization and grouping; formalization and synthesis; principles of scientific content analysis. In order to assess the significance of the influence of the components of the marketing complex on the spread of innovations in e-trade, for the reliability of the research results and the justified choice of strategies, the model of F. Bass was chosen, which is characterized by the universality of application and the classification of e-consumers into social groups: innovators, early followers, early majority, late majority and outsiders. Price and promotion (advertising) are found to affect the size of the e-trade market, taking into account the elasticity of demand and the growth dynamics of the e-trade market size. Innovations ensure the further development of successful business and maintaining competitive positions on the market, therefore demand forecasting is a priority area. Marketing mix management affects all key elements of the Bass model, including innovativeness and imitation rates, total e-trade market size, and diffusion rates. It was found that the price is the dominant factor in the diffusion of innovations, and the effect of advertising is cumulative during the life cycle of the innovative product, which positively affects both the size of the market and the speed of diffusion of innovations.","PeriodicalId":487010,"journal":{"name":"SCIENTIA FRUCTUOSA","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139962030","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 trigger that led to the growth of the social function of the hotel business was the full-scale invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine, which caused a wave of migration of the Ukrainian population. In these conditions, the Polish hotel business implemented the function of social responsibility towards Ukrainian refugees, offering temporary shelter and organizing needs. The research aim of this paper is to analyze the role of hotels in the direction of Ukrainian refugees support during 2022. General scientific and special methods of cognition were applied: abstract-logical and comparison; analysis and synthesis, analogies, questionnaires; theoretical generalization and formulation of conclusions. The obtained results of the research on the peculiarities of providing temporary accommodation and food services to refugees indicate that the satisfaction of their primary needs intensified the determination of the importance of the social functions of the hotel business in the conditions of humanitarian crises. It has been proven that it is expedient to include informational and social services (assistance in employment) in the structure of hotel services. It has been established that the needs and expectations of refugees will require the hotel business to develop a certain algorithm of actions to attract external funding, which is a factor in ensuring (growth) of revenue and the ability of hotels to increase the amount of support to refugees without reducing key indicators of economic activity. The relevance of the topic of gender is confirmed by the coverage of the issue of providing guarantees to the hotel business by the United Nations Refugee Agency in order to create proper conditions for refugees in the conditions of military conflicts. Support for migrants is, on the one hand, \"search for sources of funding\" and, on the other, \"assistance in the integration process.\" The article describes the areas of support offered by hotels to refugees seeking temporary shelter in Poland.

To achieve the specified aim, the research methods were used such as: historical, logical, methods of statistical analysis, synthesis and comparison, generalization. Given the unprecedented nature of the destruction caused and the fall in Ukraine’s GDP, there are reasons to insist on writing off most of Ukraine’s debt to international organizations, including the IMF and the World Bank.

Financial leasing is a kind of symbiosis of lending and renting, it has a number of significant advantages for ensuring and expanding the activities of business entities due to the replenishment of their investment income, a convenient source of financing, the possibility of using modern and often expensive equipment without significant costs, modernization of production and normalization of the financial and economic state of business, which invigorates the development of the country’s economy as a whole. In Ukraine, despite 30 years of development, financial leasing has repeatedly encountered difficulties, including the problems of the origin and formation of the leasing services market (90s), imperfect legislation, the decline during the financial crisis and post-crisis recovery, and currently – functioning in the conditions of war. The economic instability of the past years and the conditions of the present significantly affect the pace of development of the leasing industry, and therefore its recovery is currently a matter of time. The growth of the financial leasing market in conditions of a pandemic, economic recession and martial law makes it necessary to have a clear mechanism for regulating leasing activities. The priority reference point is the European experience, the study of which in the framework of strengthening the innovative focus of the development of the domestic economy will make it possible to choose a relevant model of the functioning of the modern financial leasing market. The aim of the article is to determine the regulatory requirements in the field of leasing activity, the key vectors of the development of the domestic market of financial leasing services in the context of European integration. To achieve the aim, scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, systematization, graphic and generalization were applied. It was established that, despite a number of problems, the leasing market of Ukraine still has all the prospects of becoming one of the powerful markets of the Central and Eastern Europe region. In this direction, it is urgent to strengthen financial literacy among the population and business entities regarding the understanding of leasing as an innovative way of purchasing equipment and a flexible business financing tool, ensuring an increase in the level of penetration of leasing into the domestic economy, expanding the spheres of attracting external financing, developing state programs, developing vendor financing.","PeriodicalId":487010,"journal":{"name":"SCIENTIA FRUCTUOSA","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139960577","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}

Recently, a stable trend has emerged in the countries of the Euro zone, which consists in liaison of the mechanism of regulation of banks’ activity to the goals of sustainable financing, which makes it necessary to do changes to the existing standard of requirements for the capital of credit institutions (CI) and to regulate its adequacy. The mentioned metamorphosis has also spread to the banks of Ukraine, which are only taking the first steps in the direction of introducing the key principles of sustainable financing into their practical work. Along with the above, in the near future the domestic banking sector may face the problem of \"greening\" the mechanism of regulation of their activity according to European standards, directives, regulations and guidelines. Solving this extremely difficult problem will require the NBU to take decisive and, at the same time, well-balanced measures, which would not hinder the active development of investment and lending in a sustainable economy. The aim of the study is to reveal the key provisions of the regulation of banks in the EU, to determine the vectors of their change in accordance with the goals of sustainable financing, as well as to develop recommendations for the banking sector of Ukraine.

The presented analysis of the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine for 2022 using the example of two groups of drugs – prescription and over-the-counter (according to the analytical system of market research PharmXplorer\"/\"Pharmstandard\") shows that significant opportunities have opened up for those pharmaceutical companies that have timely resumed marketing activities with brand promotion. Under these conditions, timely response to new challenges, promptness and flexibility in making marketing decisions become the main tasks of the functioning of the brand management system. It is those brands whose managers realize that promotion in wartime is both a risk and an opportunity at the same time, will become trendy, will be able to optimize efforts and find non-standard solutions for positioning and promotion. The aim of the research was to analyze whether the military situation affected the development of the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine and to determine the main strategic decisions in the brand management system to increase the efficiency of the functioning of pharmaceutical business enterprises. Using such methods as generalization, analysis and synthesis, comparison, tabular and graphic representation, it was found that despite the negative impact of the war, the demand for medicines remains high. However, the efficiency of enterprises is determined by the chosen marketing strategy. Therefore, correction, adaptation and rapid response to market needs are important for pharmaceutical business enterprises in wartime. For this, it is important for pharmaceutical companies to take a clear social position and adjust their promotional efforts according to changes in consumer priorities. At the same time, it is advisable to constantly plan and implement marketing activities for the promotion of brands. This also applies to drugs – almost every brand can be replaced by another generic drug.

General scientific and special methods have been used: theoretical generalization, system analysis, systematization, statistical, grouping, and scientific abstraction. Ensuring national resilience for Ukraine can be considered as a new stage of state building and restoration of sovereignty. National resilience determines the reaction of the state and society to internal and external challenges and threats. However, in the conditions of war, an important component in the development of national resilience is the international support of partner countries, which can satisfy the key needs of our state with their resources and diplomatic efforts. Such support includes the provision of humanitarian and military aid, financial assistance, and participation in international diplomatic efforts to negotiate a ceasefire and restore peace. The russian-Ukrainian war caused a series of global challenges that destabilized the international security environment. Key among them are: food, energy, humanitarian, security and environmental global challenges. Restoring global stability and countering new challenges is a common goal for all stakeholders.
