Strategic Perspective

Aim. The presented study aims to substantiate the content of the problem of improving the strategic planning of production and implementation of cloud software products (CSPs).Tasks. The author analyzes the demand for cloud software products from the strategic perspective; analyzes the theoretical foundations of strategic planning; substantiates major enterprise goals in the development of SCPs in accordance with the goals and objectives of the national projects of the Russian Federation and the needs of user enterprises; classifies informatization enterprises engaged in the development of SCPs, making it possible to conduct a comparative audit of enterprises engaged in SCP development; develops the concept of strategic planning for informatization enterprises engaged in the development and implementation of SCPs.Methods. This study uses strategic planning tools, statistical analysis of the development of digitalization enterprises based on cloud software products, the systems approach, theory of the efficiency of strategic planning of SCP development and implementation, theory of emergence in the assessment of the activities of an interconnected chain of cloud digitalization enterprises, mechanisms for coordinating economic interests based on the theory of collective decision-making.Results. The pace of cloud digitalization of the Russian economy is insufficient and requires scientific, methodological, and government support. Well-known theoretical and methodological studies of strategic planning do not make allowance for the specific aspects of the activities of enterprises engaged in the production and implementation of SCPs and need to be further developed in this direction. The existing classification of SCPs does not fully meet the objectives of the national projects of the Russian Federation and the requirements of user enterprises. Enterprises engaged in the development and implementation of SCPs are classified to enable audit of the quality of their activities. The author proposes an original concept of improving the strategic planning of enterprises engaged in the development and implementation of SCPs.Conclusions. Resolving the issues identified by the author is an important national economic objective for improving the strategic planning of the activities of informatization enterprises engaged in the development and implementation of SCPs. Solving this problem is key to increasing the economic efficiency of both informatization enterprises and SCP user enterprises in the context of cloud information systems, improving the efficiency of digitalization of the country’s economy as a whole.

Strategic planning is an organizational process, the purpose of which is to conceive, formulate and manage the strategies implementation in the enterprise. The implementation of strategic planning involves the implementation of a set of actions aimed at taking the organization from a known position to a more desirable position, creating sustainable competitive advantages. This study deals with substantiating the role and importance of organizational strategic planning in the development of the organization using a systems approach. Systems engineering consists of a multidisciplinary and collaborative engineering approach, the purpose of which is to derive, develop and verify the effectiveness of decisions or the functioning of the system throughout its life cycle to satisfy the needs, expectations and desires of stakeholders. The purpose of this article is critically to analyze the Andrade method by comparing the processes and tools used in this method with those obtained as a result of traditional strategic planning. The methods were compared by developing a case study conducted in a science, technology and innovation institution operating in Brazil and annually conducting strategic planning cycles, using traditional methodologies for managing and analyzing the effectiveness of the organization and defining strategies for its development. The paper using the engineering system, carries out the comparison of the applied phases and tools with the offers in the model. The obtained results prove disadvantages of the traditional strategic planning process in comparison with the model proposed by Andrade. The application of the proposed model would allow to obtain indicators, different from the results of traditional strategic planning, in terms of forming another set of strategies and tools to manage the organization’s development. The paper concludes that the model proposed by Andrade is more complex than the traditional one. It indicates the expediency of organizations using other tools to analyze and formulate company development strategies in the context of strengthening their competitive advantages and achieving strategic goals.

David Magnusson has been the most articulate spokesperson for a holistic, systems approach to personality. This paper considers three concepts relevant to a dynamic systems approach to personality: dynamics, systems, and levels. Some of the history of a dynamic view is traced, leading to an emphasis on the need for stressing the interplay among goals. Concepts such as multidetermination, equipotentiality, and equifinality are shown to be important aspects of a systems approach. Finally, attention is drawn to the question of levels of description, analysis, and explanation in a theory of personality. The importance of the issue is emphasized in relation to recent advances in our understanding of biological processes. Integrating such advances into a theory of personality while avoiding the danger of reductionism is a challenge for the future.
