The article describes overcoming the conceptual gap between classical theories of economic growth and practical requirements to management of today’s industrial enterprises in context of Industry 4.0. Focus is made on new managerial paradigm necessary to use effectively hybrid digital resources, i.e. integrated assets including material, informational and intellectual components. The goal of the research is to substantiate theoretically and develop methodologically the approach to adaptive management of hybrid digital resources of enterprise based on modified Cobba – Douglas production function providing synergy of traditional and digital production factors in conditions of turbulence and fast technological obsolescence. The author shows evolution of theoretical ideas about economic growth from neo-classical modes relying on exogenous factors to the development of paradigm of exogenous growth and economy of knowledge, where innovation, human capital and information play the key role. Criticism of methodological restrictions in classical range of tools, including standard Cobba – Douglas function in today’s context was provided. Paradigm succession in current Russian investigations that demonstrates backwardness of managerial practices from theoretical trends was empirically confirmed. The article formulated the response to global challenges of reindustrialization and digitalization of Russian economy, which requires integral systemic transformation of mechanisms of in-company resource management. On the basis of provided conclusions new problematic aspects were identified: limited statistic production functions necessary to estimate contribution of digital resources possessing properties of non-exclusiveness, non-competitiveness and network effect; arising of ‘digital gap’ in enterprise between technological potential and managerial culture. Modified Cobba – Douglas production function with a separate hybrid factor, i. e. AI can provide a key solution.

The article puts forward a modified algorithm of multi-criteria optimization of stock management in conditions of uncertainty based on using standardized data to present figures of particular criteria. The approach aims at elimination of inadequate choice phenomenon, when criteria with lower order of values can hardly affect the final solution due to misbalance in their numerical ranges. It was shown that transit to standardized data can help smooth the distorting effect of various scales of measurements and provide commensurability of each criterion contribution to the integral estimation of alternatives. In contrast to the earlier approach using generalized data the new modification shows comparable efficiency in elimination of inadequate choice phenomenon and provides another ranging of alternatives by widening a set of methods of multi-criteria analysis. Quantitative verification of algorithm was conducted by resolving the task of choosing logistic intermediary and strategy of product stock management in conditions of uncertainty in demand and delays in delivery. It was found out that the use of standardized data gives a chance in some cases to eliminate inadequate choice phenomenon. The research findings are important for developing corporate systems of decision-making support, which can ensure well-balanced account of multiple controversial criteria in conditions of uncertainty.

The article studies evolution of the triple spiral concept as a mechanism of innovation development. Key stages of the model development were analyzed, from initial triple spiral (state – business – universities) to its extended variants, i.e. of four – (civil society included) and five-link one (natural environment is taken into account), as well as other interrelations that show various socio-economic processes and national specificity. The goal of the research is to describe elaboration of efficient model of innovation development based on evolution of the triple spiral concept and identification of roles of innovation ecosystem actors. Theoretical importance of the research deals with systematization of stages of spiral model working-out and development of structured role model that can make functions of innovation ecosystem participants more concrete. The article underlines practical importance of the role model of business-ecosystem for elaboration of concrete measures of state and corporate policy aimed at the development of innovation infrastructure and stimulation of cooperation.

The article deals with foreign economic after-effects of changing dynamics of social and economic processes in the Russian Federation as a consequence of parrying new challenges and risks to Russian economic security connected with shaping of a new multi-polar world and aggravation of geopolitical competition. Large-scale prolonged reforms in these spheres have changed drastically the trajectory of Russia development in science, industry, public health system and general competitiveness of the country. The article studies components of political confrontation between the Russian Federation and country-members of the NATO and EU. Enormous anti-Russia sanctions introduced since 2022 have no doubt affected Russian economy. However due to rich raw material base of Russian economy and excessive reserve of social and economic stability Russian economy withstands worsening of international relations with countries of the collective West and geopolitical changes in the number of countries showing pro-Russian position on the global arena. The goal of the research is to investigate strategies and mechanisms of strengthening innovation potential of Russia in conditions of economic confrontation with due regard to current challenges and opportunities, as well as to estimate today’s innovation resources and infrastructure. The article used methods that can estimate the current innovation potential in Russia and namely: document analysis, statistic analysis, comparative analysis, methods of cluster analysis. The research aims at resolving acute problems and ensuring long-term sustainable development, as it envisages national security (development of innovation fosters elaboration of advanced technologies), provides economic stability (strengthening of innovation potential gives an opportunity to diversify economy, reduce dependence on raw material export by creating new growth sources unreceptive to external shocks), improves competitiveness of the country (innovation development helps Russian companies reinforce positions on global markets) and shapes international prestige of Russia as a country that can compete with leading global states in the field of science and technology.

Lately the volume of road haulage seriously exceeds the volume of railway carriage. At the same time road transport has lower labour productivity than railway carriage, as cargo transportation at a distance over 1,500 – 2,000km should be changed to railway transport. The article provides conceptualization and formalization of the term ‘railway and road container’ within the frames of developing innovation intermodal transport units to raise efficiency of multimodal logistic operations. The research makes the problem of term discrepancy in the field of intermodal transport units more acute, as notions of ‘pickup body’ and ‘demountable body’ we sometimes understand as body of railway car and European swap body is compared with camateiner used only in road freightage. Different types of intermodal transport units are analyzed, which are used for cargo carriage all over the world. It was proposed to elaborate a unique cargo transport unit integrating advantages of railway and road systems in order to optimize cargo traffic, cut logistic costs and raise adaptability level of supply chains in conditions of global transport challenges, such as improving ecologic sustainability, dropping transit costs and intensifying multimodal integration in international communications.

The article studies one of the most important notions in audit work, i.e. audit risk. The author analyzed changes in audit risks depending on audit concept shift, identified audit risks predominant at each stage of shaping and developing of the audit institute. The analysis showed that the accepted classification of audit risks does not comply in full with the brand new concept of crisis-oriented audit used at the current stage. This concept is characterized by methodology of cognitive digital audit of Industry 4.0 that uses innovation information technologies, such as AI, block-chain technologies and cloud technologies. In the process of audit these tools resulted in serious changes in traditional audit risks and at the same time promoted arising of a new type of audit risk connected with IT use. The goal of the research is to classify modified audit risks in view of cognitive digital audit. The author came to the conclusion that the more advanced and complicated information technologies are used in audit, the higher level of It-risk we observe.

In the research the authors relied on available investigations and theories that reaffirm direct interrelation between entrepreneurship and economic development. Traditionally entrepreneurship was considered as a field of activities for grown-up and experienced people, which was fixed in legislation of Russia stating that only people over 18 can run business. However, current trends show that younger generation is quite optimistic about starting their business, not afraid of risk and prefers start-ups but not long-term carriers in employment and thus demonstrates high entrepreneurial activities. The present legislation of the Russian Federation permits to run business from the age of 14, however investigations in the field have not paid adequate attention to the age category 14–17 yet. Within the frames of the research the authors conducted survey among young people of this age group in order to find out their motivation to running business. To work out the questionnaire the data obtained in the earlier research by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) were used, which helped formulate questions, carry out monitoring and compare findings with business activities of other age groups. According to the authors, the information about high business activities of younger generation is connected with changes in social orientation and access to education resources promoting entrepreneurial initiatives. To provide further development of entrepreneurship in Russia it is necessary to take into account specific features of young business people aged 14-17 in elaboration of support programs aimed at shaping required skills and knowledge for effective business. Creation of favorable environment for younger entrepreneurship can become a key factor for economic development of the country.

Today the development of industries in Russian economy is not competitive due to the absence of innovation approaches to organization of manufacturing, without active search for new ways of customer needs satisfaction, which requires innovation elaboration and drawing up documents of protective character. The goal of the research is to identify the contribution of patenting and invention activities to the development of textile and foot-ware industry in the country. The research methods include quantitative analysis, logical analysis and methods of comparing and summarizing information obtained in national and international patent databases, academic investigations by home and overseas scientists. The authors showed approaches to understanding patent and invention activities, their features in view of sphere of textile and foot-ware manufacturing. A conclusion was drawn about the necessity to stimulate innovation invention activities on the part of state and about the importance of further search, development and introduction of goods (materials, equipment) within the frames of patent procedures, which could help protect intellectual property of enterprises (patent granting) and foster investment appeal of industry and certain enterprises.

In the current economic conditions the sphere of culture is becoming an important structural component of national economy that ensures upbringing of citizens and therefore the growth of labour potential in the country. The goal of the research is to work out a forecast of developing structural components of the sphere of culture in today’s conditions on the basis of regressive analysis method. By results of the research the author came to the conclusion that the number of professional theatres in Russia in 2000-2019 increased considerably and their visitation stepped up too. Due to adverse consequences of the corona virus infection in 2020–2022 the number of theater visitors dropped. On the basis of forecast models we can assume that the number of professional theaters and their visiting will rise in the short-term period, however, the increase rate will be lower in comparison with the previous time. At the same time it should be pointed out that in 2000–2022 a real museum boom took place in Russia: the number of museum institutions grew by 50% and museum visiting – by 66%. According to the presented models, in the medium-term run this trend will continue. The rise in people interest in visiting museum institutions shall be taken into account by regional and municipal bodies of power in elaboration of strategies for tourist potential development in territorial entities. As for libraries, in the medium-term run their number will drop, which can be explained by the wide use of digital information carriers and transformation of library role in today’s culture.

The article studies specificities of knowledge as a key factor of shaping and developing of business-ecosystem and puts forward methodology of their estimation. The majority of current approaches to estimation use the notion of intellectual capital identifying it with knowledge. In our opinion knowledge is a wider notion that includes different combinations of new technologies, approaches to training, professional experience, entrepreneurial ideas, motivation and stimulation, readiness for risk, etc. They provide an opportunity for business-ecosystem to generate compound valuable offer to customer, which differentiates this business-model from others. The author shows methodology of index computation of economy of knowledge, proposed by the World Bank for some countries and regions that ignores the level of organizations and business-systems. The article pays special attention to the dual nature of the category ‘knowledge’, which is considered, on the one hand, as a functional aspect and on the other hand, as a tool and result. The present methodology provides computation of index of knowledge level in businessecosystem. It is based on 16 indicators put in four groups: dynamics of business-ecosystem development, system of education and development of personnel, scientific-technical and innovation-technological potential and digitalization and level of information support of business-ecosystem. Finally, recommendations were given aimed at this methodology application and estimation of its development prospects was advanced.

The proposed tools of strategic control can help company accumulate its own resources and analyze development prospects.

In circumstances of fast digital transformation of the public health system the necessity arises to work out models of innovation introduction on the level of medical organizations. The article puts forward a step-by-step model of medical organization digitalization based on Beckhard-Harris classical model of managing changes and adapted to specificity of the public health system. The author explained topicality of medicine digitalization, confirmed backwardness of the public health system in comparison with other industries by level of digital innovation and showed the necessity of systemic management of changes for successful implementation of digital projects. Theoretical and methodological foundation includes the review of models of managing organizational changes (K. Levina, ADKAR, Beckhard – Harris) and substantiation of choosing Beckhard-Harris model to develop mechanism of digital transformation of hospital. Six successive steps of digitalization were described in detail: from realization of the need in changes and formulation of digital development vision to building the project team, implementing initiatives, estimation of results and provision of clinical security and ethical character of working with data. The article shows that adaptation of the model of managing changes for public health conditions (including the branch stage on security and ethics, using the map of digital maturity, concept of digital office and branch KPI) ensures higher efficiency of transformations. Benefits of this approach are discussed: structuring, flexibility and orientation to digitalization barriers overcoming, as well as its novelty for the public health system. The proposed model can serve as a practical guide for medical organizations in step-by-step realization of digital transformations, raising quality and accessibility of medical help, providing patients’ safety and shaping basis for further research and upgrading of strategy of digital development in the public health system.

The article studies issues of using block-chain technology in customs-logistic field. Key notions of block-chain as applied to trade and administrative activities were presented. By using three block-chain-platforms that are wellknown on the global scale comparative analysis of block-chain models used in customs service and international logistics and of experience of their application was carried out. It was shown that platforms of customs-logistic block-chain act as a foundation for shaping a specific type of digital ecosystems, which can be defined as administrative-economic with serious difference from the classical business-ecosystems. Two classes of administrative-economic ecosystems were identified: autonomous and integrated, the difference between them is closely connected with characteristics of their external and internal digital environment. The author put forward definitions of administrative-economic ecosystems, its autonomous and integrated types and of the digital environment as applied to ecosystems of the given type. Regularities of ecosystem client behavior were demonstrated that function on the basis of block-chain and simplified classification of models of client behavior on markets of customs intermediary was advanced. It can serve as a basis for shaping efficient marketing strategies of customs representatives (brokers). Promising trends of further research were shown.
