Abstract

In view of researching modernization processes of the country economic system the article studies representative interpretations of policy aiming at speeding-up being the foundation of strategy of social and economic development in the USSR at the 1st stage of perestroika (1985–1986/87). The authors showed viewpoints of prominent Russian and overseas researchers, such as J. Boff, V. A. Mau, M .F. Polynov, U. Taubman, F. Hanson,

A. V. Shubin and others on the following points: interconnection of the course for acceleration and economic policy pursued by Yu. V. Andropov and K. U. Chernenko, chronological borders of this course, its chances for success, adequacy of the acceleration concept to top-priority tasks in the field of economic development in the USSR and results of the 1st stage of perestroika. The article highlighted that even at the initial points of perestroika prominent analysts, mainly overseas, doubted in possible prospects of acceleration policy referring to excessive ambitions of its targets, insufficient resources and poor reformation potential. In the 1990-s similar appraisals appeared in Russian researchers’ publications. The authors pointed out that in the early 2000-s experts focused on quality of the acceleration concept itself. Vast memoirs literature (N. I. Ryzhkov, V. A. Kryuchkov, A. S. Cherniaev, A. N. Yakovlev, etc.) had showed up, which provided an opportunity to clarify history of shaping and implementing the acceleration concept. It was pointed out that perestroika historiography advances an opinion, according to which not all aspects of the acceleration concept were studied enough and unfavorable external factors, mistakes made by reformers and restrictions of constructive potential of the acceleration course resulted in failures in its implementation. It was underlined that the research can promote understanding of historic peculiarity of Russian economic system transformation.

Abstract

The article studies genesis of the theory of women’s economic security. Women’s economic security was analyzed in the light of interaction of four groups of factors, such as economic, social and personality, crisis and institutional. The research integrates international and Russian problems dealing with provision of economic security of women. Based on data of international organizations (the UN, the International Labour Organization, the World Bank, etc.) and Russian statistics the authors identified specific features of the current standing of women’s economic security in Russia and in the world: restrictions in access to highly-paid jobs, higher unemployment rate and risk of losing job, stable gender gap in remuneration, lower income and saving rate, high load in the field of unpaid care, vulnerability to finance fraud, employment in illegal and informal sectors of economy, etc. Evolution of approaches to providing economic security of women was studied, which leads to synthesis of the paternalist model and the model of active subjectivity, when person acts as a key agent of his/her economic security. Special attention was paid to legal regulation on national level and the role of international organizations in upgrading women’s economic security.

Abstract

In conditions of high uncertainty and poor formalization of social and economic systems cognitive modeling is becoming a key tool in decision-making support. However, the quality of obtained models directly depends on trustworthiness and coordination of initial expert appraisals. The article advances a brand new method of formation and verification of expert appraisals based on 9-level 3D scale, which can simultaneously take into account the importance of initial concept, power and direction of its impact on other elements of the system. To raise inner agreement of the model verification process through analyzing consonance/dissonance is introduced, which can identify and correct internal logic contradictions in expert’s opinions. The mathematic tool of providing appraisals is realized in the form of interval values, which can allow us to formalize the degree of expert confidence in his/her views and raise sustainability of the model to some errors. Pilot research confirmed that the advanced method can improve inner agreement of the cognitive model by 37% and drop subjective component in expert appraisals by 42% in comparison with conventional approaches. The given methodology can be used in tasks of regional economy, strategic management and other fields, where decision-making is needed in conditions of high uncertainty.

Abstract

The development of large language models (LLM) has extended opportunities of processing non-structured data in corporate environment. However, LLM fundamental restriction lies in their dependence on data of preliminary learning, which can decrease their ability to work safely with enterprise information non-published in other sources. The article provides analysis of current approach to using corporate data to upgrade quality of answers generated by LLM. Systems of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) are studied both in classical vector realization and in GraphRAG. Agent systems and integration of RAGand GraphRAG approaches in their architecture were discussed, as it can make it possible to build complicated systems of AI and solutions requiring multi-stage analysis of corporate non-structured data. Architecture of classical vector RAG-approach is described, which consists of three key stages: getting vector presentation of indexed fragments of papers; searching for fragments relevant to user requirement; forming the answer on extracted context combined with the initial request. As a key restriction the author showed the absence of mechanism necessary for integral analysis of loaded proprietary data. In its turn GraphRAG uses mechanism of plotting knowledge graph on context, which can help work not with semantically similar data fragments but with hierarchically clustered information by accumulated analysis of text summaries. Shortcomings and benefits of using approaches were formulated, criteria of expediency of RAG and GraphRAG practical application were identified and examples of systems for their use were provided

Abstract

The article carried out retrospective literature review of branch investigations, as a result it was found that traditional models (systems) of factors of shaping innovation climate in organization (ICO) that create benefits on internal environment and social and psychological aspects are burdened with closeness, fragmentation and do not take into account fundamental changes taking place under the impact of ecosystem digitalization. As a response to identified drawbacks and challenges of today’s economy a system of 6 key factors of shaping was developed. The author put forwards a holistic ecosystem-oriented approach, which integrates internal and external determinants of innovation activities and helps adequately assess and control innovation climate in organization with regard to digital transformation of economic activities in conditions of passing over to platform businessmodels.

Abstract

The article provides results of developing innovation resource-saving technology for processing non-traditional vegetable raw material to produce functional foods necessary to strengthen health and prevent alimentary dependent diseases. In the context of global challenges connected with a drop in population immune status special attention is paid to study and complex use of home officinal and spicy-aromatic raw material (OSARM), such as coneflower, dog-rose, chicory, marigold, mint, thyme and marjoram that possess evident immune-modulating, radio-protective and antioxidant properties. The author’s technology of getting highly-active ingredients, such as micronized cryo-powder of OSARM was substantiated and described in detail. The use of the method of cryogen crushing helps retain biologically active matter in raw material, raise bio-access and effectiveness of the end product. On the basis of worked-out additions formulas and technology for two new types of dragees ‘Kislinka’ and ‘Tuta’ were developed. These products are complicated poly-component systems enriched by the complex of bioactive combinations: beta-carotene, ascorbin acid, flavonoids, phenol compounds (including CGA), catechins and tannins. Dragees were designed with regard to daily need in key vitamins-antioxidants and meant for regular use in order to correct oxidation stress and strengthen protection functions of the organism. The research confirms serious potential of using local vegetable raw materials for import-substitution and development of effective functional foods that can promote health saving, increase in non-specific organism resistance and shaping well-balanced food allowance in today’s conditions.

REGIONAL ECONOMY

Abstract

Today forecasting economic development in regions is a key link of the mechanism of regional economy management. In spite of the fact that tools of economic-mathematic forecasting are being upgraded continuously, the problem of making trustworthy forecasts in conditions of uncertainty is still acute. The goal of the research is to elaborate methodological aspects of forecasting economic development in regions in conditions of uncertainty. The article highlighted key factors in forecasting social and economic development in Russian regions. The authors provided comparative characteristics of current approaches to forecasting economic development in regions in conditions of uncertainty, which reveals principles of decision-making by bodies of regional authority in conditions of uncertainty. Stages of making these decisions were formed and their description was given. Special attention was paid to methodology of decision-making in conditions of uncertainty and possibility of its adjustment to forecast economic development in region. Taking into account the fact that the theory of decision-making in order to formalize conditions of uncertainty with regard to decision-maker’s opinion uses methodologies MCDM (multicriteria decision-making) and DSUD (decision-making under deep uncertainty), whose features were shown in the research, opportunities of their adjustment for forecasting economic development in regions in conditions of uncertainty were described. Advanced methodological aspects of forecasting economic development in regions in conditions of uncertainty help elaborate effective methods and algorithms of decision-making, whose introduction in practice can raise quality of forecasting indicators of regional economy development. In its turn it can foster making effective managerial decisions by bodies of regional authority.

Abstract

The article provides critical analysis of the new Strategy of spatial development of the Russian Federation up to 2030 with the forecast up to 2036 in view of evolution of federal relations and provisions of the institutional theory. Topicality of the research is envisaged by the necessity to comprehend the fact whether the present document in the absence of certain strategies of federative relations can perform the coordinating role in stimulating economic selfdevelopment in regions. The goal of the research is to identify systemic contradictions between declared targets of spatial development and real conditions and mechanisms of governing included in strategic documents. Principle conclusions of the research demonstrate a deep paradox of today’s Russian regional policy: in spite of the declared rejection of the idea of equal development and transition to rhetoric of differentiated approach and resource concentration the effective Strategy does not put forward any withdrawal from the model of controlled asymmetry but reproduces centralized vertical logics of governing. The key institutional gap is successive denial of the important role of institutions of in-regional level, i.e. city agglomerations and strong centers of population, which are recognized as objective reality but are not provided with real power and finance authorities. Tools being introduced, such as common lists of strong centers of population and geo-strategic territories, as well as the digital platform of governing are analyzed as mechanisms of increasing administrative priority fixing from above and tools of vertical supervision but not as the basis of decentralization and providing regions with authorities. The author shows increasing non-coordination in the system of strategic planning. As priority lines in restructuring the article proposes adoption of the federal law about regional development securing the real status of institutions on in-regional level; drastic change in inter-budget relations to raise region independence and restore on the federal level the common center of responsibility for coordination of spatial policy. The research contributed to the discussion about the necessity to elaborate complex strategy of federative relations and showed that without such a document and re-distribution of real power and resources any spatial strategy will not be able to resolve key institutional paradoxes.

Abstract

The article analyzes Russian practice of designing regional housing policy and identified key trends in its development. Topicality of the research is envisaged by the importance of housing sphere for demographic and social and economic development of regions, as well as insufficient study of mechanisms of elaboration of regional housing policy in today’s Russian conditions. As a methodological basis the authors used analysis of regulatorylegal and program documents of federal and regional levels and data of bodies of state statistics and institutes of development. The research showed that regional measures mainly are implemented on the basis of federal programs and national projects, which is connected with decomposition of federal targets and mechanisms of budget cofinancing. The coordination between housing policy and demographic tools of family support is revealed, programs of attracting and retaining labour resources in conditions of current personnel shortage are also mentioned here. At the same time the article studies the impact of the Strategy of spatial development of the Russian Federation through priorities of the Far East support and the development of city agglomerations. As a special trend the article showed elaboration of their own models of housing policy in economically developed regions of Russia in case of their dependence on federal mechanisms of regulation and financing. A conclusion was made that efficiency of housing policy is determined mainly by the degree of its coordination with demographic, labour and spatial priorities of the region development.

Abstract

In conditions of economic uncertainty and the need to attain technological sovereignty estimation of innovation policy efficiency in Russian regions becomes more and more important. However, traditional econometric methods often do not take into account endogen nature of factors and dynamic character of innovation processes, which can cause mixed estimations. The present research proposes to use dynamic panel model using systemic generalized method of moments (System GMM) to analyze determinants of innovation development. On the basis of data of 82 regions of Russia for 2014–2023 the model including lagged values of dependent variable and key factors of innovation policy was estimated. Validity of the model was confirmed by complex of diagnostic tests: the absence of autocorrelation of the second order (p-value = 0.1586) and validity of tools (Hanson test, p-value = 0.6186). Results showed complicated time dynamics. Positive effect of R&D expenses is clear with two-year lag, special economic zones demonstrate positive impact in the short-term period with subsequent inverse effect while human capital of high qualification showed stable negative impact on innovation output. Methodological contribution of the research lies in demonstration of System GMM application for correct estimation of dynamic effects in panel data by Russian regions and elaboration of practical recommendations on taking into account of time lags in developing scientific and technological policy.

Abstract

BRICS countries form a unique group of emerging economies characterized by fast growth, considerable demographic potential, which stipulates a rising impact on global economic processes. Researching fundamental anomalies of stock market in these countries requires specialized methodological approaches taking into account specific features of national finance market. In the research CAPM models, 3-factor and 5-factort Fama French models and Karharta model were used These tools help identify anomalies in the institutional environment in BRICS countries, such as paradox of weak institutes but high growth rates of economy or constant asymmetry between formal regulations and their practical use and simultaneously high level of shadow economy, which envisaged analyzing the quality of institutes through indicators of law supremacy, corruption control and efficiency of state governance and investigation of regulatory features of finance markets and their compliance with international standards. For instance, on Russian, Brazilian, Indian and Chinese markets 3-factor and 5-factorn Fama French model and Karharta model allow us to identify several systematic anomalies: effects of size, cost and high volatility, which do not correspond to fundamental indicators. Researching fundamental anomalies in BRICS countries requires complex methodological tools taking into account specific features of these emerging economies. The combination of traditional econometric methods with new approaches and fintech-tools, data science and net analysis can give an opportunity to identify and analyze systemic deviations in share prices from expected ones in accordance with logics of economic and finance processes.

Abstract

The article aims at wider understanding of finance security phenomenon. The authors tried to shift the investigation focus from analyzing properties of certain components and safety of the whole finance system functioning to net processes of in-building of each element in the dynamic structure of finance market to identify new aspects of finance security phenomenon and define relevant factors of its attainment. Analyzing features of finance system functioning in view of the theory of compound dynamic systems helps draw a conclusion about synergetic nature of the finance security phenomenon. It was shown that element of finance system that is effective from individual point of view but is not built coherently in the general mechanism of its functioning can hinder operation of other elements and the system as a whole. It could mean the necessity of reaching individual and systemic efficiency by all components of finance system in order to provide national finance security. Factors were found that hinder coherent functioning of finance system elements, at the same time lines of applying managerial efforts aimed at providing coherent functioning of finance system components were identified.

Abstract

The article discusses the possibilities of using audit modeling as a tool for strategic optimization of the company's sources of financing. The necessity of expanding the functional role of audit from controlling the reliability of financial statements to supporting strategic management decisions in the field of financial resource formation is substantiated. Based on a systematic and comparative analysis, a conceptual approach to modeling audit procedures is proposed, focused on assessing the structure of sources of financing, taking into account the financial stability, risks and strategic goals of the company. The logic of integrating the results of audit modeling into the process of strategic financial management has been developed. The findings make it possible to increase the analytical value of the audit and use its results in optimizing the structure of sources of financing in the long term. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of applying the proposed approach to strategic planning and financial control in companies in the real sector of the economy.

Abstract

The development of the digital financial assets market in various directions is considered, from the perspective of different types of participants. Based on specific examples, transactions with several types of digital financial assets are shown. Quarterly performance indicators of domestic information system operators have been studied. The study was conducted using systematic, analytical and statistical methods based on data published in open sources. The factors stimulating and hindering the growth and development of the financial market sector under study are highlighted. Estimates of the attractiveness of digital financial assets from the issuer and investor are given, and the processes of issuance, purchase, and sale are characterized. Digital financial assets open up not only technological but also innovative opportunities, extending to intellectual property, real estate, commodities, and more. However, it is noted that the country still has an uneven distribution of the market among information system operators and digital financial asset issuers. Steady experience of working with such assets is only accumulating, typical techniques have not yet been established in business circulation. The volume of judicial practice is insufficient, and the development of international cooperation in this area is in the formative stages. However, the growth of the market is provided by the ever-increasing interest from institutional and retail investors.

Abstract

The article studies economic characteristics of collection LEGO sets as non-financial investment asset. The empiric foundation was formed by data of BrickLink, eBay and Avito platform second market and results of quantitative study of profitability in 1987–2015. The average yearly nominal profitability of collection sets makes 11% (8% in real terms) and exceeds profitability of big shares, bonds and gold for the respective period. Pricing on second market depends on set rarity, license topic and physical characteristics. Hedonistic price analysis says that a set of the series withdrawn from production sells by 15.84% higher than similar positions of the lasting series; the rarity growth by 1% results in price rise by 0.63%; availability of mini-figures increases cost by 44%. LEGO shows weak correlation with traditional assets (bonds: from –0.13 to –0.16; shares: lower that 0.24), positive multifactor alpha 4–5% and Sharp coefficient 0.4. Features of Russian second market in conditions of restrictions of 2022 were studied. Research novelty lies in systematization of LEGO collection set estimation criteria as investment asset as applied to Russian market, where specific academic research had not been done yet.

The article studies crowd-funding, which in conditions of digital transformation of economy becomes more and more important and popular as an alternative mechanism of financing small business. The research focuses on elimination of gaps in analyzing micro-economic factors of long-term sustainability of commercial crowd-funding projects in today’s academic works. The authors identified key factors of crowd-funding projects of small business success and worked out practical recommendations on raising their viability. The research used complex methodology combining quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis. The quantitative section includes longitude analysis of viability of 42 projects in 2021–2024 by using Kox model, logistic regressions and estimation of finance indicators. The qualitative component is based on 25 deep interviews with project developers and contentanalysis of 1427 messages in communication channels. The obtained results demonstrate mixed dynamics: while in 6 months after setting-up 92% of projects are still active, in a year only 68% and in three years only 29%. The research showed the critical period between 12 and 24 months, when the majority of initiatives face the shortage of initial capital. As key factors of success the following ones were mentioned: finance sustainability (availability of reserve fund exceeding 20% raises the possibility of survival by 37%), communication activity (optimum frequency is 1.8 messages a week, which increases NPS index by 39%) and product adaptation (2.4 iterations a year correlates with turnover growth by 135%). The author identified interconnection between micro-economic parameters of projects and their long-term sustainability on Russian sample and elaborated concrete recommendations, including the rule of finance planning 30/50/20 and proposals on upgrading crowd-funding platform functions. These results open new prospects for further research in the field of branch specificity and cross-cultural analysis of crowdfunding practices.

Abstract

The development of transport infrastructure of the Northern Sea Route makes up one element in realizing the Sea Doctrine of the Russian Federation and a condition of raising sustainability of the Arctic transport system. The goal of the research is to assess the compliance of the actual dynamics of the Northern Sea Route infrastructural development with tasks fixed in the Sea Doctrine of the Russian Federation and to identify trends of raising transport return of the created infrastructure potential. The research was done on the basis of regulatory-strategic and statistical-economic approaches. The authors used provisions of the Sea Doctrine of the Russian Federation, academic publications and statistics for 2019-2025 that characterize total cargo turnover, transit cargo traffic, navigable activities, port capacity, ice-breaker support and finance accompanying of the route development. The following methods were used in the research: structural and dynamic analysis, comparison of absolute and relative indicator changing, short-term extrapolation of identified trends. It was found out that the development of the Northern Sea Route promotes a rise in transit activity and extension of port base while disproportion between the built infrastructure capacity and actual cargo load remains. The research identified restrictions connected with weak sustainability of the cargo base, uneven finance support, aged structure of the ice-breaking fleet and insufficient use of port capacities. The authors showed the necessity to pass from building-up infrastructure capacities to raising effectiveness of their use at the expense of assigning of long-term cargo base, development of regular arctic lines, renewal of the ice-breaking fleet, coordination of financing with measurable transport results and shaping the home technological support of the route.

Abstract

Transformation of managerial practices in conditions of growing uncertainty requires revision of approaches to conflict management. The meditative approach oriented to neutral mediation and conciliation procedures is considered to be a promising resource of raising efficiency of organizational management. However, the absence of empirically grounded data about its effectiveness in organizations of different scale hinders introduction of relative practices. The goal of the research is to diagnose empirically the use of meditative approach in organizations of different scale (small and medium businesses and big companies), to estimate its effectiveness and to identify segment factors influencing its results. The research is based on the principle of methodological triangulation: survey ( N = 548 valid questionnaires, SMB segments 254 respondents, big companies 294 respondents), analysis of organizational indicators and statistical processing by using IBM SPSS Statistics (Mann-Winny U-criterion, Spirman correlation analysis, successive regression, Kronbach alpha coefficient). The authors found out that big companies statistically exceed SMB by degree of conflict settlement in-building in the system of management and expressiveness of meditative logics of conflict consideration, however by communicative conditions and competence support serious differences were not found. Integral indices of meditative maturity showed that its medium rate in SMB is lower than in the big segment. The interconnection between meditative maturity and results of conflict management is statistically important only in SMB segment, while in big companies it is absent. Successive regression confirmed the impact of integral index on results in SMB. Thus meditative approach demonstrates segment-unequal results. In SMB it acts as a direct resource of raising sustainability of conflict settlement. In big companies higher level of institutional fprmalization is not converted in lowering the negative impact of conflict on organizational settlement, which requires revision of strategy of meditative practice introduction aiming at their integration with adaptation, prevention and personnel-analytical outlines of management.

Abstract

In conditions of global turbulence and geo-political instability strategic development of business gets decisive importance for retaining stability, competitiveness and survival of Russian companies. Sanctions imposed on

Russian business affected key sectors of economy, including transportation, industry, banking, logistics and highlytechnological branches. The majority of sanction restrictions have got long-term and structural character, which eliminates the opportunity to return to former conditions of running business in the medium-term prospect. Such circumstances make organizations transit to a new format of strategic thinking oriented to autonomy, adaptation and institutional flexibility. Not only classical prescriptions of strategic management become topical, but mainly applied practices of managing uncertainty, delivery re-orientation, production localization, technological importsubstitution and institutional interaction with state are in the foreground today. There are numerous investigations and publications dealing with different aspects of strategic management, however lately we can observe serious interest on the part of academic community to changes and alterations in the field of strategic development. The goal of the research is to specify the current interpretation of the essence of ‘development strategy’ idea and systematize technologies of elaborating strategic decisions on business development. The author carried out comparative review of available classical approaches to defining development strategy in academic literature. Apart from that the current interpretation of the category is provided; issues of strategic flexibility, strategic thinking, eco-systemic approach are studied; classification of today’s strategies of business development is given; stages of elaborating development strategy are specified; approaches to strategy designing (classical, adaptation, institutional, digital and hybrid models) are systematized; tools of strategic development are defined, such as SWOT-analysis, PESTELanalysis, benchmarking, scenario analysis, finance modeling, road cards, dashboards and KPI, strategic sessions. The article substantiates the adaptation outline of strategy that can take into account all factors, from global trends and political decisions to local failures in logistics and changes in currency rates. Academic conclusions of the research can be useful both to management of Russian companies in elaborating strategy of development on market and representatives of other professional communities interested in attracting tools of strategic analysis.

Abstract

Topicality of analyzing ESG-risks is directly connected with the rising criticality of factors of sustainable development for business success. Today’s organizations have to integrate responsible attitude to ecologic challenges, follow principles of social responsibility and introduce effective corporate practices in order to comply with critical expectations of society, regulators and investors. The author showed that integration of ESG-factors can cause not only the loss of competitive advantages but also a cut in customer confidence, serious reputational risks and restriction of access to capital markets. ESG-risks have transformed into a key element of strategic planning at present day companies that need sustainable development as a basis of long-term competitiveness in conditions of global transformations. However, introduction of ESG-initiatives will require systemic approach, long-term planning and involvement of all concerned parties. It is important to take into account the fact that successful management of ESG-risks is possible only in case of continuous monitoring, analysis and adaptation of strategy to changing conditions of market. Serious attention should be paid to personnel training, elaboration of in-company policy and introduction of tools of automated accounting of ESG-indicators.

Abstract

Topicality of the research is stipulated by the need to raise competitiveness of enterprises dealing with maintenance of machines and equipment at the expense of improvement of service quality and drop in technological risks connected with dependence on foreign soft. Traditional methods of quality management cannot always provide the required automation and standardization, which can limit efficiency of business-processes. The goal of the research is to develop proposals aimed at upgrading business-processes for providing quality at enterprises dealing with machine and equipment maintenance by re-engineering targeted at raising the degree of automation, drop in the number of errors and replacement of foreign soft by home analogues. Findings of the research demonstrate serious improvement of key indicators: the level of automation grew, the number of errors reduced, compliance with regulatory documents increased. The dependence on foreign soft was eliminated, which raised sustainability of processes. The author came to the conclusion that the advanced approach to re-engineering of business-processes in quality management system can provide complex improvement of indicators and can be used at other enterprises of the machine-building industry to adapt to current challenges of market.

Abstract

The article studies the approach to shaping and developing multi-level system of logistic integration of participants of supply chains on the basis of step-by-step use of integration mechanisms. On the basis of universal criteria the author estimated the level of 4 groups of enterprises research participants (production and trade companies, storehouse and transport operators). The author tried to apply the method of functional equations to searching optimal variant of distributing logistic integration mechanisms by the level of interaction between suppliers and customers. The goal of the research is to use in practice the advanced approach in step-by-step forming supply chains of strategic partnerships. The result of the research is presented in the form of multi-level integration model that allows suppliers and customers to develop relations on the basis of joint planning mechanism, informational integration, suppliers’ motivation, harmonization of guiding documents and joint use of resources. In the research methods of hierarchy analysis, questionnaires and expert appraisals, comparative analysis, dynamic optimization were used.

Abstract

The article studies theoretical and practical aspects of building economic mechanisms of providing sustainability of supply chains of Russian enterprises in conditions of sanction restrictions by using potential of the quality management system. On the basis of analyzing present day academic literature and practical experience of home companies the conceptual model of integration of quality management systems into mechanisms of providing sustainability of supply chains was worked out, which is adapted to conditions of external restrictions. It was found that economic mechanisms based on risk-oriented approach and integrated into quality management systems can provide necessary adaptation and sustainability of supply chains. The article shows results of proposed mechanisms tested on examples of Russian industrial enterprises, which proved their efficiency for neutralization of adverse affect of sanction restrictions on functioning of logistic systems. Methodological recommendations were put forward on building economic mechanisms of providing supply chain sustainability through quality management taking into account branch specificity of Russian enterprises.
