Nature, causes and consequences of shadow relations were identified, as well as their ambiguity. It was shown that dual nature of shadow relations, especially its subjective start could deteriorate the situation connected with elimination of negative after-effects of shadow economy expansion. Steps were put forward aimed at neutralization of threats of shadow economy in new economic conditions of making business. The author pointed out that struggle against shadow sector combines a set of mechanisms and regulators (legal, monetary, organizational, taxation, budget, etc.). A conclusion was drawn that to strengthen country sovereignty, its economic development, minimize risks in order to ensure public and state security we need a complex program of neutralization of threats of corruption proliferation and shadow economy expansion.

The article shows typical features of a new theory of controllable economy. The author pointed out that markets of resources, goods and services are controlled by offer varieties. It causes an increase in market profits, in goods and services producers and signifies the downfall of market economy and emergence of controllable economy. Production forces of computer projecting and manufacture at state-owned companies in conditions of computer and material revolution develop varieties of complicated science-intensive manufactured goods of civil and defense public use (carriers of intellectual property) that render services during their operation. Consumer expenses of stateowned companies of civil public and defense use form earnings of private enterprises of small and medium business, which produce consumer goods and services, while customer expenses of private enterprises of small and medium business create earnings of state-owned civil companies during their operation. Military men’s incomes arising during usage of goods of defense public use form earnings of private enterprises of small and medium business. State-owned corporations set up by V.V. Putin, such as ‘Roscosmos’, ‘Rostech’ and others can in their turn develop controllable systems of state-market economy of these companies and private enterprises of small and medium business. The mode of economic development and growth of Russia should be like this, the so-called Putin’s way. To implement it we should introduce a system of planning in stateowned companies.

The article deals with implementation of the concept of sustainable development in the Russian Federation. It provides the author’s interpretation of the notion ‘sustainable development’, shows the correlation between the concept of sustainable development and ESG-concept and identifies factors affecting the rate of sustainable development.

The article provides statistics of Russian companies’ adherence to ESG principles and shows current trends in the field of sustainable development.

The article studies the concept of circular economy as an alternative of traditional linear model oriented to efficient use of natural resources, cutting wastes and development of closed material cycles. The basis of circular economy is formed by the principle of maximum use of resources through recycling and repeated use of materials. Transition to circular economy can become an important strategic element for Russia, especially in conditions of such challenges as dependence on import and sanctions. The article provides analysis of data concerning recycling and import of plastics in Russia, where considerable volumes of plastic wastes cannot be used due to insufficient development of recycling infrastructure. The proposed economic model shows that transition to recycling of 95% of imported plastics can both create a serious economic potential for import substitution and result in extra economic benefits, including new sources of revenues, jobs and transition to economy of closed cycle without necessity of raw material purchase with foreign currency. In conclusion the authors underlined the necessity of complex approach to effective recycling of plastics and cutting plastic wastes within the frames of goals of sustainable development in the Russian Federation.

On markets of oil-bearing crops and fat and oil produce information about future conditions is the most important. It has both academic and practical significance, which can help economic entities in business-planning. However, the number of investigations on this subject in free access is limited. As a rule it comes to analyzing previous and current prices, while forecasts are either neglected or inaccessible for internet-users for free. The goal of the research is to build a forecast of average monthly prices of producers on oil-bearing crops and fat and oil produce on home market in Russia on April 2025 – March 2026. For this purpose the authors used econometric package TIBCO Statistica v13.5.0.17 with modeling on ARIMA base with due record to trend and seasonal fluctuations. The obtained forecast models show a sufficient degree of reliability. The forecast error by results of cross-checking for sunflower seeds makes up 21.9% , rape seeds – 6.4%, soy-bean – 7.1%, sunflower oil and its non-purified fractions – 11.6%, rape oil and its non-purified fractions – 11.4%. In 2025 we expect a small drop in world prices on oil-bearing crops and vegetable oil. In Russia in conditions of considerable volumes of their production and high level of resources a low rise in prices is forecast.

Responsible business – making has gradually entered everybody’s sphere of attention and become the center of interest all over the world in general and academic quarters in particular. The research highlighted this poorly studied subject in the section dealing with the development of ecologic, social and governance (ESG) responsibility in overseas highly-industrialized countries. In these countries pressure on the part of regulation bodies, demands of investors and expectations of society made the greatest contribution to speeding-up the development of ESGpractices. Understanding factors influencing efficiency of ESG-operation of companies was not only the key goal in the sphere of strategic management but possesses fundamental importance for resolving the most urgent ecologic and social problems in the world and for supporting ESG viability. More and more often companies conducting international activities use ESG principles that form the basis for sustainable development of the country. The goal of the article is to provide broad and well-structured knowledge concerning introduction of ESG criteria in overseas countries in order to upgrade national practices in the field of responsible business -making and to identify trends of systemic review of adequate literature sources, comparative analysis and forecasting. The authors compare and analyze the current international status of development in view of rating and describe various steps of governments stimulating movement for ecologic, social and governance responsibility. The article also studied in detail the systems of ESG ratings that are used by key suppliers, as the demand for ESG information keeps growing. Apart from that it provided critical analysis of problems connected with ESG ratings. The growing attention of world community to sustainable development caused a rise in the number ESG rating suppliers, but this extension resulted in additional problems. ESG ratings are complicated and differ depending on the agency due to various methods of assessing and non-standardized information revealing, which can hinder the accurate estimation finding. Moreover, investors and companies demonstrate limited confidence in these ratings accuracy. Standard-legal regulation in different countries aim at improvement of information revealing and comparability of ESG ratings, however discrepancy in criteria of rating assessment and methodology is still present. In the current field of global finance and corporate management ecologic, social and governance aspects have become the key factors influencing investment decisions and forming company strategy. The research can help regulating bodies and politicians develop norms of information revealing in countries with various institutional specific features.

Current conditions of making business require more flexibility and adaptability of companies to changes in external environment. Due to this fact traditional methods of business-planning based only on finance indicators are becoming insufficient to ensure long-term success of organization. The author substantiated a choice of key trends in assessing the company work at the fuel and power complex in order to raise efficiency of business-planning. A balanced system of indicators was proposed, which meets the principles of process management by goals and provides opportunity to trace compliance of process results to strategic goals of organization and cascade steps of the system to subsidiary and affiliate companies and divisions. The concept relies on building the strategic map, where key indicators are divided into five separate groups: finance indices, customer indicators, factors of in-business processes, training and development of personnel and relatively new point, i. e. power-efficiency and sustainable development.

In today’s world business-ecosystems gain status of digital superpowers that can control a considerable part of economic and social processes, get extra profit and value and influence global competitive market. At present we can observe smoothing of traditional industry borders in favor of business-integration, which offer various services to customers within the frames of seamless experience. Economic importance of ecosystem can be identified by study of its entrepreneurial model that is chosen for attracting and inclusion of new participants. It is evident that the largest economic ecosystems of the world and Russian business-ecosystems follow the mixed model combining elements of transparency and exclusiveness. Companies in Russia that use the ecosystem approach to organization of their work are not so highly developed as international leaders. However, some of them such as “Yandex’, ‘Mail.ru’, ‘1C’, ‘TBank’, and ‘Wildberries’, according to the consulting group BCG, were included in top 100 of technological companies of developing countries in 2020, which can testify to their potential on the way to reaching technological leadership. Business-ecosystem is a model of organization functioning, which consolidates different technologies, goods and services on the basis of common cloud platform under the common brand and is meant for complex and effective interaction with customers. Analysis of different approaches and concepts of home and overseas academicians can allow us to draw a conclusion that at the current stage of economic development there are no unified definitions and standards in the field of assessment of business-ecosystem work. The author of the article proposes methodology of estimating the impact of finance indicators of ecosystem work on its properties as a tool of analyzing and managing business-ecosystems in general.

Annual growth in modeling market of town-planning causes the emergence of new solutions for different stages of life cycle of construction projects. The author studied factors influencing the development of modeling technologies in this sphere by factor, cluster and disperse analysis. Factor analysis means thorough researching on how different factors influence the final figure that is presented in the research by building companies in the world and in Russia. Cluster analysis is a multi-dimensional statistic procedure that collects information about projects and adjusts them in relatively similar groups. Discriminant analysis is a method of statistic analysis used to resolve tasks of dividing data into groups. It can find differences between groups and classify projects by the principle of max similarity. The method implies the presence of two or more groups different from each other by certain variables, which can be measured on interval scale.

The article studies the notion and meaning of the competition phenomenon during the process of development of human society from primitive man to the present day, which covers shock growth in the population of our planet at the Late Stone Age and further participation of people in the process of nature mastering expressed in multi-stage academic and technical progress. For the first time a hypothesis was put forward about transfer of quantitative changes in man (biological changes of the body and internal organs) to qualitative ones (cerebral brain changes) that took place during historic development. It is shown that in current realities at the stage of demographic shift in spite of local creative activities decision-making of people mainly orients to biological but not to universal human goals stipulated by rational activity.
