The article is devoted to defining the essence and role of corporate (value) image as a factor of the value-oriented competiti-veness at the enterprise. The relevance of topic is due to growing role of intangible assets, image of the company, in the growth of its market value. Need for further research is connected with the problem of valuation of image. It is also connected with fact that in the highly concentrated basic industries of economy in Ukraine the overwhelming number of enterprises are cost oriented. Purpose of the work is to improve methodology of assessing the image of a value-oriented enterprise based on the concept of Balanced Scorecard - BSC. The system-structural analysis and the method of logical generalization were used to clarify essence and place of image in the structure of intangible assets of the enterprise, factor and economic-mathematical analysis – to form the BSC management panel and to calculate the integral index of corporate image; critical analysis - to compare alternative approaches to form a Balanced Scorecard and role of company image in the implementation of its cost growth strategy. Assessment of the corporate (value) image of a metallurgical value-oriented enterprise is implemented by the normative method of integral evaluation of the investment attractiveness of enterprises and organizations. The Balanced Scorecard - BSC concept, which is emerged as a system of estimation of the cost and efficiency of the enterprise using measuring instruments of material and intangible factors of its value creation, was used as a tool for assessing the corporate (value) image of a metallurgical value-oriented enterprise. The validity of valuing image of a value-oriented enterprise based on the BSC concept is that a positive image of an industrial enterprise produces its future value in the stock market, which allows it to gain an edge over its competitors. The authors have improved the method of estimating the image of a value-oriented enterprise, which, unlike the known ones, involves the calculation of integral index of the corporate image of enterprise on the basis of the Balanced Scorecard. The comprehensive assessment of the indicator takes into account both positive characteristics and reasoning for the choice: significant orientation on expectations of the investment community; the possibility of taking into account contribution of intellectual capital of the enterprise in the creation of its future value; simplicity of calculation and availability of indicator logic perception at all levels of management; the ability to navigate key factors of value creation and value image of the enterprise to lower levels of management. The practical value of the proposed methodology for the assessment of corporate image is to determine the strategy of its adjustment and increase the strategic competitiveness of the enterprise.

<p>The term ‘employee engagement’ has been debated in human resources management, with particular emphasis on discussions centred on employee motivation, job satisfaction and productivity. Recent research shifted focus to show its significance in performance management. Research is still scanty on the linkage of employee engagement, overall organisation performance and the strategic management process. This research aimed at assessing the role of employee engagement in strategy implementation using the Balanced Scorecard for a Ministry of Minerals Resources. Knowledge of the importance of engagement in the execution of the organisation’s strategy and performance management was sought and the role of leadership in driving employee engagement in the workplace. A quantitative research strategy was used to gather data from a target population of 120 participants through the use of questionnaires. Findings revealed that awareness of the importance of engaged employees in the execution of an organisation strategy is relatively high and can positively contribute to increased productivity and performance, particularly if the Business Scorecard tool is understood by all employees and appropriately cascaded to them. The study also recommended that a positive organisational culture be cultivated so that all employees have the same vision, motivation and drive to improve productivity.</p>

We focus on the processes and strategies utilized by entrepreneurs to commercialize new technologies, thereby creating significant change and value in new, or existing markets, i.e. innovation. A cross-industry approach utilizes available theories and strategies applicable to commercialization and innovation. Our contribution is to leverage these theories, but augment their application by informed use of design thinking, and lean entrepreneurial principles to create and apply an iterative and unified framework for innovation. The coupling of strategy with informed execution is intended to provide the entrepreneur (or innovator) with an early and evolving understanding of unmet customer and user need, and how to address that need thru offerings from market entry through growth. We also utilize the “jobs to be done” framework to identify opportunity to create value for the customer/user, and for the entire ecosystem in multi-sided, networked markets. Section One covers our methodology, surveys the extant theories, and provides a framework that is applicable to commercialization and innovation in any industry. Also, we describe in Section One the innovation culture that is needed to drive and support innovation. We present our extension of the Balanced Scorecard – the Innovation Strategy Dashboard - as an appropriate methodology to measure innovation in any organization. Section Two is dedicated to applications of these principles and models to emerging opportunities in Biopharma, MedTech and Digital Medicine. Section Two includes a general healthcare industry overview highlighting its evolution and current challenges. We also include contributed articles pertinent to the production side of the healthcare industry, e. g. marketing and product positioning for biopharma, and further extend the role of design thinking to service design in healthcare. These are followed by several mini-case studies applicable to biopharma, MedTech, and digital medicine.
