The article proves that the management of the potential of the enterprise in market conditions is a complex dynamic phenomenon that can lead to the development of this potential, its reduction or complete disappearance. Capacity development should be understood as its growth and implementation to achieve the goals set by managers. In order for capacity development to take place and have the necessary dynamics for managers, management decisions on the formation and use of enterprise capacity must take into account factors of internal and external environment of the enterprise, in particular those that affect the rationality of management. Factor analysis must be performed permanently. Its results should help business leaders choose sound management decisions. To accomplish this task, factors need to be identified, classified, and evaluated. Identifying factors means identifying them and establishing the relevance of these factors. The classification of factors is necessary for their division into constants and variables, interconnected linearly or indirectly, into significant and insignificant, and so on. The construction of the classification of factors is the result of their evaluation. The study performed a clustering of factors. This made it possible to identify the factors grouped into one group, as well as to identify the nature of the relationships between these factors. The practical application of the proposed analytical and information model of factor consideration in the formation of management decisions to manage the potential of the enterprise will increase the objectivity of the approved decisions in the management of the potential of the enterprise.

This study investigates the plasticity of phonological boundaries during discourse in a lingua franca. We tracked the production of 34 Spanish learners of English conversing with two Dutch confederates in English across two speech styles, focusing on incremental changes in two key English vowel contrasts with differential effects of cross-linguistic influence (/i/–/ɪ/ and /ε/–/æ/). Results indicate that Spaniards align with Dutch confederates, quickly merging /ε/ and /æ/ and gradually separating their merged /i/–/ɪ/ category, rather than adopting native-like English production. We found greater merger in informal speech overall. We also found an interaction with time for the /i/–/ɪ/ contrast, indicating that the merged /i/ and /ɪ/ categories gradually separate in informal speech; this effect was not found for /ε/–/æ/. Finally, proficiency modulates alignment: the most proficient speakers separate /i/–/ɪ/ and merge /ε/–/æ/ more than other speakers. We interpret phonetic alignment as a complex, dynamic phenomenon influenced by proficiency in discourse language and speaking style, and whose effects may unfold rapidly or gradually depending on the phonological category investigated.

This article will focus primarily on how the adaption-process into a Danish environment has provided a local ??kta-cult from Sri Lanka with a special narrative, and with symbols and text that it, most likely, would not have had if it were still in Sri Lanka. This is important with regards to understanding religion as a dynamic phenomenon, but also in relation to understanding how a tradition not only survives in a new setting but also expands in new environments.
