Aim. To form a systematic understanding of the structure of trade of Central Asian states within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

Objectives. To analyze the commodity structure of trade flows and their geographical distribu- tion; to identify key characteristics of trade flow networks of Central Asian states within the SCO.

Methods. Statistical analysis of the geographical, commodity, sectoral structure of exports and imports of goods, as well as the degree of their technological capacity.

Results. It can be stated that there are practically no high-tech groups of goods among the significant commodity groups in the trade of Central Asian SCO member states with their part- ners in this organization. Moreover, to a large extent the growth of trade turnover of the countries is conditioned by the intensification of supplies of various raw materials to China (oil, ore, textile and agrarian raw materials). The pattern of “raw materials for raw materials” trade exchange often persists, especially between the Central Asian states proper; moreover, these countries are to a large extent competitors, as the commodity structure of their export flows largely coincides (in particular, in terms of raw materials and agrarian products). Conclusions. The current situation hampers the development of industrial cooperation between the SCO countries. The fact that the “One Belt - One Road” initiative is based on the established trade specializations of the countries may, on the one hand, “revive” trade relations in the region, on the other hand, consolidate the role of Central Asian states as suppliers of raw ma- terials for China.

Aim. To determine the ways of improving the management system of the objects of cultural and educational activities of the Krasnoyarsk region and their use in the organization of tour- ist and excursion services in the context of cultural and cognitive tourism.

Aim. To develop recommendations of strategic nature for regional authorities to make decisions aimed at reducing energy intensity and electricity intensity of regional economies, taking into account the identified trends of changes in the process of analyzing the calculated data and applying the typological grouping of the country’s regions.

Objectives. To analyze normative legal acts, reporting documents of federal and regional authorities, as well as publications devoted to the research topic; to consider the possibilities of applying to the analysis of energy intensity of regional economies along with the sectoral territorial approach; to present the methodology of analysis of energy intensity of regional economies based on the decomposition of energy intensity and subsequent typological grouping of regions on several grounds; to characterize the obtained results and to determine strategic solutions for the reduction of energy intensity and electricity intensity of regional economies.

Methods. Along with general scientific methods of research, such as analysis, generalization, analogy, description, the methods of statistical data processing, including index, methods of average values, dynamic series, balance, aggregation, statistical and typological groupings, summary were applied.

Results. Along with the sectoral approach to analyzing the energy intensity of the Russian economy, used primarily by the federal authorities, the territorial approach was considered. The latter makes it possible not only to identify trends and latent factors affecting the energy intensity of the gross regional product (GRP), but also to manage it within the framework of the regional authorities’ targeted policy to reduce energy intensity. By means of the proposed methodology, a typological grouping of regions was carried out, which makes it possible to identify the subjects of the Russian Federation (RF) with the highest values according to the growth rates of electricity intensity and energy intensity, in respect of which it is necessary to use a differentiated approach and incidental measures that take into account the influence of latent factors and the sectoral structure of the regional economy.

Conclusions. From the methodological point of view, the article may be of interest to the scientific community focused on finding solutions in the context of improving the energy efficiency of regional economies, and from the practical point of view to regional authorities, whose competence includes the issues of reducing the energy intensity of economies. The study contains elements of novelty, manifested in the methodology of analyzing regional electricity and energy intensity, application of territorial and sectoral approach to improve regional energy efficiency. The article contributes to the evaluation support of management decisions at the regional level in the framework of the state task to reduce energy intensity of the Russian economy.

Aim. To identify technological features of human resource management (HRM) in the conditions of digital transformation.

Objectives. To describe the main directions of HRM technology transformation in modern conditions; to define the concept of "digital tools"; to systematize the digital tools used in modern conditions; to identify promising directions of using digital tools on the way of digital trans- formation.

Methods. The authors used in the research process the methods of contextual analysis, modeling terms and models, induction and deduction, synthesis and description, applied methods of comparative, system and structural analysis.

Results. The outcome of the digital transformation of business is a progressive process, which in the end will radically affect the functioning of personnel. In this regard, the concept of "digital tools" of HRM is defined, their relationship with HRM technologies is revealed. It is revealed what digital tools are most often used today in Russian companies, whether there is their classification by forms of application and whether digital tools affect the technological process of HRM. The peculiarity of applying HRM tools from the possible set of tools is its scientific substantiation on the one hand and the practice of its application on the other. The basis is the orientation on the solution of a certain problem faced by the company in the current period. In order to get an effective effect, it is necessary to refuse from haphazard ap- plication of tools. A technological process of HRM should be formed, which will be based on a clearly structured sequence of actions that are interchangeable. An important element that should be paid close attention to is the understanding that the new information reality will place increased demands on the competencies of personnel. The article emphasizes that the digital transformation of business should be carried out progressively, taking into account the timely mastering of new digital competencies by employees.

Conclusions. The digital transformation of business taking place today launches new, previously unobserved processes that cover all spheres of functioning of real commercial enterprises. Business can get a new quality both in the aspect of formation of management decisions on an objec- tive basis and in the framework of HRM. In this regard, it is safe to say that we are waiting for a systemic restructuring of the main business processes and, as a consequence, the introduction of new HRM tools, on the basis of which it will be possible to design digital HRM technologies.

Aim. To examine the impact of IT performance management on improving employee productivity, and to propose a balanced approach to integrating IT into human resource management.

Objectives. To conduct a literature review in the context of the research topic; To perform an in-depth theoretical analysis to confirm the impact of IT tools, including data analytics, automation and machine learning; To develop proposals for the implementation of IT Performance management in the field of human resource management in organizations.

Methods. The authors used the method of descriptive literature review. To achieve the set objectives, general scientific methods were also applied: analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization.

Results. Integration of IT in personnel management significantly increases the efficiency of the organization, optimizing many processes. Useful information derived from real-time analytics Not only helps to make administrative decisions, but also contributes significantly to long-term strategic planning. Challenges such as data privacy and potential over-reliance on technology are identified. The article proposes a balanced approach to integrating IT into human resource management. Although technology provides indispensable tools for modern HR management, it must be complemented by human judgment and ethical considerations.

Conclusions. IT integration has transformed HR management from a largely manual domain to one defined by efficiency, accuracy, and strategic depth. With tools that automate and improve processes, individual HR professionals are better equipped to focus on value-oriented tasks, using real-time data analytics to make informed decisions. This shift promotes a proactive approach, allowing employees to anticipate needs and develop customized strategies.

Aim. Improvement of the enterprise business processes management by offering methodical tools for assessing the possibilities to fulfill customer requirements before concluding a contract for product delivery / service provision.

Objectives. To analyze the existing approaches to the management of enterprise business pro- cesses in the scientific literature; to determine the control points of end-to-end management of business processes; to consider the peculiarities of the application of qualitative and quan- titative types of risk analysis; on the basis of the conducted research to develop a methodology for assessing the possibilities of meeting customer requirements at the enterprise.

Methods. The article considers the methodology of assessing the possibilities of fulfillment of customer requirements as an element of end-to-end management of business processes at the enterprise. With the help of general scientific and special economic and statistical methods, such as analysis, synthesis and comparison, the key control points of the business process man- agement system, where different management approaches to risk analysis are applied, are de- termined. The trends characteristic of the current state and development of risk analysis methods are highlighted, their advantages and disadvantages are established. Systemic and complex approaches are applied to the studied phenomena and processes. Results. In the process of the conducted analysis the deficit of attention to the application of methods of business process risk management at the stage of pre-contract work was found out. Within the framework of the concept of risk-oriented thinking, which is at the heart of modern management systems, the article highlights the applied approaches to risk analysis, the algorithm of realization of expert risk analysis at the enterprise is proposed, the types of requirements used for evaluation are defined. The indicator of feasibility of customer require- ments at the enterprise is calculated, the criteria for making a management decision based on the results of the assessment are revealed, The variants of auxiliary documentation developed in the course of the assessment are given. Thus, the developed methodology acts as a control point at the initial stage of realization of the algorithm of end-to-end management of business processes of the enterprise.

Conclusions. The proposed methodological toolkit for assessing the ability to fulfill customer requirements is a preventive measure to eliminate risks before the delivery of products / ser- vices. The procedure and peculiarities of the methodology application are given on the example of analyzing the level of feasibility of the customer’s requirements of the gas industry com- pany, Realizing the service of construction of main gas pipelines and compressor stations. The developed methodical toolkit allows to increase the level of quality of realization of business processes and the degree of their transparency, to provide more balanced management decisions, to improve conditions for contract conclusion, to reduce the number of discrepancies in the activity of enterprises of gas and other industrial branches.

Aim. To study the economic crises that occurred in the Russian Federation (RF) from 1991 to 2022 from the point of view of analyzing the causes of their occurrence and the factors of reversal, as well as identifying the chances of overcoming the stages of slowdown and decline in economic dynamics, including those associated with digitalization.

Objectives. To reveal the causes of economic crises by identifying the risks realized during this or that crisis; to determine the financial instruments of economic crises reversal in the Russian economy since 1991; to identify the chances of the economic system to overcome the stages of slowdown and decline in economic dynamics and to turn the economic system to sustainable growth.

Methods. General scientific methods, including comparative, retrospective and analogy methods, were used as methodological tools.

Results. The article identifies the realized risks of economic crises in the Russian Federation, from the crisis of 1991 to the crisis of 2022. As chances of economic growth in the period of digital transformation of the economy and the financial sector, the risks of innovative financial technologies, risks of digitalization of the banking sector, risks of insurance and financial services were identified. Financial and non-financial tools to turn the economic crisis to the recovery period and subsequent sustainable growth were identified.

Conclusions. Any crisis is based not only on factors that aggravate and destabilize its parameters, but also on factors that present new chances for further economic development. When assessing economic dynamics during crises, one should take into account the realized risks, possible chances and tools for economic turnaround, including financial and non-financial instruments. Financial instruments, which allow to implement extraordinary management decisions, serve as instruments of turnaround. Additional state budget expenditures from the reserve fund (until 2017) or from the national welfare fund represent corrective financing in periods of uncertainty and are associated with emergency management decisions during crises, including during a special military operation. The main task of the regulator is to limit the negative effects of realized internal and external risks.

Aim. Formation of methodological foundations of crowdfunding, determination of conditions for realization of innovative business projects.
Objectives. Clarification of terminology, functions, categories, types and features of stakeholder interaction in the process of realization of crowdfunding campaign; description of the process of realization of innovative business projects with the help of crowdfunding; analysis of foreign and Russian crowdfunding platforms, legislative base to determine the conditions of successful crowdfunding campaign of innovative business project.
Methods. The research applied methods of benchmarking, comparative analysis, inductive approach to the formation of the methodological basis of crowdfunding, modeling of the process of implementation of crowdfunding campaign of investment business projects.
Results. The methodological foundations of crowdfunding are presented, the functions are described, including the collection of funds, advertising and PR of the product/service produced, scaling of the business, as well as categories, types and features of stakeholder interaction in the process of realization of crowdfunding campaign. The process of realization of an innovative business project on a crowdfunding platform is divided into five stages: MVP of the innovative product, financing of the innovative project, launch of the innovative business project on the crowdfunding digital platform, control over the project realization, launch of the innovative product into production. The analysis of the Russian legislative framework revealed a number of shortcomings in the regulation of investment platforms: lack of clarifications on the regulation of activities with cryptocurrency transactions, the conduct of which is legally permitted; attracting investments is available only to legal entities and private entrepreneurs, which hinders the development of startups and does not provide opportunities for fundraising for the implementation of social projects by individuals.
Conclusions. A successful crowdfunding campaign of an innovative business project can be conducted if the conditions and sequence of stages of the process under consideration are met. At the same time, the revision of the legislative base in the field of regulating the activities of investment platforms is of particular importance in the development of this area of the economy.

In particular, by means of formalizing the problems of existing approaches to solving the problems of financial management, identifying trends in the development of methodology and technologies for creating digital twins, the idea of increasing the efficiency of financial risk management on the basis of creating a digital twin of the enterprise is outlined. The multilayer system of indicators defining the structure of this digital twin is proposed and substantiated, the tasks are defined and the principles of its construction oriented to solving the tasks of financial risk management are developed. The financial kernel of the digital twin of the enterprise is constructed, containing the contours of formation of financial indicators common for different enterprises, determining the achievement of the objectives of financial risk management and its efficiency. The qualitative substantiation of increasing the efficiency of financial risk management with the application of the methodological basis for the creation and use of digital twins proposed in the article is given.
Conclusions. Conceptual provisions of creation and use of digital twins for the purposes of financial risk-management, given in the article, create a theoretical and methodological basis for increasing the efficiency of financial risk-management taking into account the use of new digital technologies and can serve as a basis for practical construction of effective systems of financial risk-management at enterprises of the real sector of economy.

Aim. To analyze the transformation of the model of interaction between teacher-leader and students, building educational space in the classroom.

Objectives. To consider such key elements of V.L. Kvint’s concept of strategizing as vision and mission in relation to school education and teacher-leader’s work.

Methods. One of the most significant trends in the modern school educational environment is the obsolescence of the model “teacher-head” and the growing importance of the model “teacher-leader”. This determines the expediency of applying the concept of strategizing by academician V.L. Kvint in this environment.

Results. Among the key elements of the mission of school education should be presented not only the transfer of academic, subject knowledge, but also the development of skills to apply it beyond the school subjects. For this purpose, the school education system needs teachersleaders who have a high status among students, who are able to combine formal and informal communication, and who have developed emotional intelligence.

Conclusions. It is shown that one of the most significant competitive advantages of Russian school education is the depth of academic, subject knowledge. Meanwhile, part of the mission should be the development of skills to apply this knowledge beyond the disciplines in which it is obtained.

Aim. To determine the vector of influence of public opinion on the prospects of development of the international market of nuclear power plant (NPP) construction in the conditions of global energy transition and to formulate the most priority directions of communication work in order to increase the Russian export of nuclear power technologies in the markets of developing countries.
Objectives. To identify the current trends of social acceptability of nuclear power in the world; to consider a number of tools used to work with public opinion in the field of improving the reputation of nuclear power in countries-importers of nuclear power technologies; to substantiate the importance of communication work in order to increase Russian exports of nuclear power technologies in the markets of developing countries.
Methods. Data from various sociological surveys were used to analyze the current state of social acceptability of nuclear power plants. The key methods of this study are comparative method and case study method.
Results. The analysis of the international experience of society’s influence on energy policy has shown that it is impossible to implement international projects in the field of NPP construction without public support for the initiative on nuclear power development. The analysis revealed that one of the competitive advantages of ROSATOM in the international NPP construction market is the inclusion of public communication work in the export offer. Based on the analysis of the results of sociological surveys, it was found out that within the framework of communication work with the public in the importer country it is reasonable to emphasize the economic benefits of NPP operation and continuity of its functioning.
Conclusions. The article shows the possibilities of increasing the Russian export of nuclear power technologies in the markets of developing countries, due to the global trend to increase the social acceptability of nuclear power and the presence of relevant competitive advantages, including within the framework of the implementation of communication strategy.

Aim. To study the trends in the formation and implementation of competition policy.
Objectives. To analyze global trends in the process of formation of competitive policy; to identify the influence of endogenous and exogenous factors in the process of competitive policy development; to determine the general trends of the leading states of the world that contribute to the support of competitive relations.
Methods. The research utilized general scientific methods (comparative, complex, systemic, structural analysis), the method of cause-and-effect relationship, logical method.
Results. Competitive policy in modern conditions has acquired a dualistic character. It combines in a contradictory unity the regulation of firms and households in the domestic and foreign markets, different measures of influence on the subjects of partner and adversary countries, control and influence on the markets of monopolized and competitive industries. The function of competitiveness development includes protection from monopolism and from the rivalry of foreign commodity producers. The boundaries of fair and unfair competition are gradually blurring. Changes in the rules of economic activity legitimize the behavior of economic entities, which previously was defined as unfair and was subject to sanctions provided for by the legislation. A trend common to many countries is the application of standards and norms established at the global level by their authorities regulating competition relations to the market activities of all economic entities in the country. Attempts to adapt the best world experience in supporting competitive relations to the national and historical peculiarities of each country have become widespread.
Conclusions. The analyzed trends in the development of competition policy under the influence of the ratio of exogenous and endogenous factors in each country are manifested in two main variants. One of them is the policy of openness, inclusion of the national economy in the global economic system. Another option is the policy of isolation and restraint of competition from foreign market participants. A smaller part of the states prefer to choose one of these options, the majority tries to move along a compromise path, which can bring them success with the right allocation of priorities.

Aim. To consider the retrospective and existing trends in the development of national regulation of greenhouse gas emissions in Belarus, as well as to analyze the prerequisites and assess the prospects for the formation of carbon pricing mechanisms in this jurisdiction.
Objectives. To study the economic, institutional and legal aspects of carbon regulation in Belarus; to identify the main problems and challenges for the state arising in the process of development of such regulation, including carbon pricing mechanisms.
Methods. Using the methods of economic and legal analysis and comparison we analyzed various aspects of the functioning of the carbon regulation system in Belarus, which allow us to assess its current state and prospects for its development.
Results. Currently, the Republic of Belarus is still among the jurisdictions in which the state has not sufficiently formed institutional and legal conditions for the widespread use of carbon pricing instruments, despite the long history of building a system of regulation of greenhouse gas emissions and the attempt to introduce market mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol, which contributed to the creation of the first elements of national infrastructure for trading in carbon units.
Conclusions. Among the potential drivers of the development of the carbon market in Belarus and the subsequent export of its carbon units abroad, there is a further convergence of positions and approaches on the climate agenda and carbon regulation between Belarus and Russia, other jurisdictions in the Eurasian space, within the framework of interstate associations; regarding the preparation for potential negative consequences for the national economy associated with the introduction of the European Union mechanism of cross-border carbon regulation.
