Scientific problem. The paper notes that the desire of Ukrainian universities to carry out PR-activities in social media is correlated with the tendencies of PR activity of European and American universities. However, the lack of specialists in digital communications (SMM) within the staff of universities makes it possible to characterize their activity in social media as being carried out without a clear definition of goals and using limited tools. Due to the lack of strategic planning, we observe low communication efficiency of using social media. Novelty. The brand pages of Ukrainian universities in social networks are analyzed, quantitative characteristics and content topics are investigated. Recommendations are developed for improving the efficiency of communication and updating the style of content on the brand pages of universities in social networks. Research methodology. The official accounts of Ukrainian classical and technical universities in social networks (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram) are discovered and analyzed the statistics of these pages. Based on the statistical data and the method of observation, brand pages of universities in social networks are defined in which are active and promising for the promotion of the communication strategy of universities, and which social networks have lost popularity among target audiences. In addition, the analysis of the contents of Facebook brand pages is done. The basic statistics is graphically presented in four tables, which allow comparing the PR activity of the universities in social media. Results. For the effectiveness of PR in social media, it is necessary to increase the activity of followers, to distribute different content in the information and comment on the publications. It is proved that the lack of strategic planning of communicative activity in social networks negatively affects the results of both large PR campaigns and the effectiveness of communications for informational support of university activities. The main shortcomings in creating the content of the university's PR services and the main trends in writing messages in the Facebook news are revealed. The practical significance. The detailed study of the PR-practice of the universities makes it possible to develop recommendations for increasing the effectiveness of promote brand pages in social networks.

The development of the concept of strategic planning and management of a changing economy is considered. The research is based on the provisions of the system economic theory, which makes it possible to fully describe the dynamics of changes and their mutual impact on the economy and society. At the same time, the “new system feature” of strategic planning means bringing the strategy-building mechanisms into line with both the requirements of the new economy and the internal logic of the evolution of the national socio-economic system (SES). The theoretical and practical significance of the approach is to improve the model of planning and management in the Russian Federation, since the existing practice is not fully adequate to the new economy, which creates difficulties and risks for the scientific and technological development of the country in the era of global changes. In this regard, the concept of strategizing the economy based on system economic theory is proposed. The definition of “strategizing” concept, as well as its scientific foundations and key stages, is formulated. The scheme of strategizing as an iterative process is presented. It is shown that following the system concept of strategizing the new economy can significantly increase the validity of the strategy and lead to the harmonization of the SES; otherwise, the imbalance of sectors and the non-stationary economy may increase.

In recent decades, the political game in democratic societies has become increasingly personalized. The weakening of the role of parties as representatives of public interests is caused by the influence of personification, which in turn is facilitated by the growing importance of social media. Personalization is largely manifested in the period of election campaigns, since the electorate chooses specific individuals based on the image of a politician recreated in the media. Thus, the purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis about the increasing role of social media and the personification of the political game during election campaigns. The author chose bibliography analysis and content analysis as the research method. The author analyzed the profiles in social networks of candidates for deputies of the Legislative Assembly of the city of St. Petersburg, nominated by the electoral association "St. Petersburg regional branch of the All-Russian party "Unity and Fatherland" - "United Russia". Based on the analysis of the social media profiles of the candidates under consideration, the hypothesis put forward has not been confirmed. The paper concludes that the key factor in the personification of political discourse in the media is political competition. In the absence of political competition, politicians lose their incentives to disclose personalized information and form a positive image of a person in social media. The practical significance of the work for representatives of the political community lies in the fact that in order to increase public loyalty to the dominant party and trust in the activities of political leaders, politicians at all levels of government need to conduct a competent policy in social networks, based on the experience of democratic countries.

The present study focuses on the usefulness of social network analysis in unveiling network patterns in social media. Specifically, the propagation and consumption of information on Twitter through network analysis tools are investigated to discover the presence of specific conversational patterns in the derived online data. The choosing of Twitter is motivated by the fact that it induces the definition of relationships between users by following communication flows on specific topics of interest and identifying key profiles who influence debates in the digital space. Further lines of research are discussed regarding the tools for discovering the spread of fake news. Considerable disinformation can be generated on social networks, offering a complex picture of informational disorientation in the digital society.

Any brand’s presence on social networks has a significant impact on emotional reactions of its users to different types of posts on social media (SM). If a company understands the preferred types of posts (photo or video) of its customers, based on their reactions, it could make use of these preferences in designing its future communication strategy. The study examines how the use of SM technology and customer-centric management systems could contribute to sustainable business development of companies by means of social customer relationship management (sCRM). The two companies included in the study provide a general consumer good in the beverage industry. As such, it may be said that users interacting with the posts these companies make on their official channels are in fact customers or potential customers. The study aims to analyze customer reaction to two types of posts (photos or videos) on six social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Google+ and Youtube. It brings evidence on the differences and similarities between the SM customer behaviors of two highly competitive brands in the beverage industry. Drawing on current literature on SM, sCRM and marketing, the output of this study is the conceptualization and measurement of a brand’s SM ability to understand customer preferences for different types of posts by using various statistical tools and the sentiment analysis (SA) technique applied to big sets of data.

Studies of social media frequently focus on the most popular platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) and fail to consider more unconventional platforms and communities that nevertheless fit the criteria of social media. A comparison of fan communities emphasizing different content structures (Archive of Our Own, DeviantArt, and Fanfiction.net) to open source community platform GitHub can provide insight into the practices of communities of making, regardless of even substantial differences in purposes and affordances, while expanding the traditional definition of social media. Study of both fan and open source communities revealed commonalities across platforms, such as non-market practices with deep market ties; gift economies that run on status; and a lack of inclusivity. We argue that the dynamics of inclusion and exclusion, labor, and value on social media platforms can be illuminated by putting these platforms and their communities into conversation.
