Market Situation

This study focuses on the strategic management consequences of technology development. Business policy considerations are predicated on the overall assumption that the multiplication of broadband telecommunication networks, capable of delivering both voice and data bits of information, has led telephone companies into a competitive situation where they are compelled to decrease their interconnection fees. All over the world there is an observable trend towards a cornucopia of networks and a glut of bandwidth. This means that legislation putting a cap on connection fees will only conserve a business situation that is gone long ago. Browsing the classical literature on telecommunication regulation, this study on business policy argues that instead of waiting for legislation - that is far too late to orient companies what to do policy-wise with the imminent new market situation -, wireless carriers should rather start emphasising the design of new, value-added services. Such a change of emphasis - turning away from the provision of connectivity alone - can help them achieve some added value and remain in business. Otherwise, they may soon follow the path of a slow corporate funeral following their wired brethren.

In the last decade unprecedented technological changes have taken place, resulting in the emergence of a fundamentally new economic model. Based on the widespread spread of smartphones, the world has become more “connected”. The digitalization of demand and supply contributed to the creation of entirely new digital markets managed by platform enterprises based on an open business model, that enabled external consumers and producers to connect and interact with each other. A more interconnected world generates vast amounts of data, allowing platform companies to invest in machine learning and artificial intelligence and ultimately improve their efficiency. Finally, a steady digitalization of business processes, markets and global value chains is observed. In these circumstances, approaches to value addition are fundamentally changing in the context of new dimensions of the digital economy, the analysis of which was the purpose of our study. It has been identified, that in the absence of a standardized international methodology for measuring the digital economy, the latter is so far possible on disparate development-left and national statistics. Initiatives taken at the international level to overcome national differential approaches are still insufficient, as there is a lack of statistics and variables related to digital data. It has been revealed, that the lack of quality statistics on key indicators of the digital economy makes it difficult to assess the value added in the world economy scale and international comparisons. Much of the challenges of measuring value added in the digital economy, as shown in the article, are related to the principle of “scale without mass,” the intangible nature of capital, the intense growth of large-scale cross-border data flows, and the emergence of new sources of value creation.

The Creation

The article analyzes the production of agricultural products in India for the period 2000-2018. - as the basis for the formation of export potential, which has shown an increase in production in almost all major types of agricultural products in India. Today India is a major exporter of agricultural products and foodstuffs and ranks sixth in the ranking of the 10 largest exporters in the world. Its share in the global market in 2018 was 2.2%. ($ 42 billion). India intends in the future to significantly increase the volume of supplies of agricultural products to the world market - up to 100 billion dollars. In this regard, India has developed a new export policy aimed at developing export potential through the production of high value-added products and the development of export infrastructure, which will increase the competitiveness of Indian products in the global food market. The article discusses some aspects of export policy. Particular attention is paid to the formation of clusters and agricultural export zones, the creation of which will attract foreign investment both in agricultural production and in the development of infrastructure in India, and ensure the production of high quality products. An important point in the formation of clusters is the involvement of farmers in the value chain through the creation of Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), designed to help smallholders overcome shortcomings in production and expand the presence of farmers in foreign markets. The article reflects the infrastructure to support exports and stimulate the production of export agricultural products with high added value. The issues of mutual trade in agricultural products between India and Russia and some directions of its development are considered.

The article considers the development of outsourcing relations in the world, the role of outsourcing in the development of the world economy. There are some researches on this issue that describe certain aspects of the functioning of organizations that use outsourcing in their activities, which, however, without considering the industry specifics of using outsourcing. In particular, this applies to the theoretical and practical use of outsourcing in the agricultural business. Taking into account the dynamic of outsourcing development, its research requires constant scientific exploring, updating knowledge in this area, comprehensive analysis, generalization of modern outsourcing practices, and formulation of the precise scientific and practical recommendations. Outsourcing relations in the agro-industrial business of the Netherlands, Great Britain, Poland and Japan are analyzed. The advantages and risks of outsourcing and selection of outsourcers to perform certain functions of the enterprise are systematized. It has been proven that companies that use only internal opportunities instead of external ones (instead of outsourcing) are less innovation-oriented and cannot take advantage of opportunities to develop new value added products. It is noted that highly specialized outsourcers can do much more to create added value at a lower cost than any integrated enterprise. There are basic criteria for choosing an outsourcer determined. The expected benefits from the use of outsourcing are singled out: savings in operating costs, reduction of investment costs, supply of fresh capital, conversion of constant value into variable, improving the quality of products and services, improving the adaptability of the enterprise, access to modern technologies, focus on key activities and solutions associated with existing features. The existence of a strong positive correlation between the level of outsourcing development and production volumes, trade volumes, employment level and innovation level has been proved. The reasons for the low level of implementation and development of outsourcing in domestic vertically integrated agricultural enterprises are identified.

strengthen their international competitiveness. This was linked to the implementation of institutional and economic reforms, significant technological changes and improvements in the quality of human capital, as well as fiscal stabilisation policies. These changes affected their situation in the labour market. Purpose of the article: The aim of the study is to assess changes in the situation in the labour market in the EU with particular emphasis on the post-communist countries in the period 2002? 2019. Methods: The situation of countries in the European labour market was estimated using the TOPSIS method. A similarity matrix of changes in the composite variable for each country was then constructed using the Dynamic Time Warping method. On its basis, homogeneous clusters of countries were determined using the Ward?s method. Findings & value added: Four homogenous clusters of countries were formed. The post-communist ones belonged to two groups. In one, there were two countries ? Croatia and Slovakia. The rest of the post-communist countries were in a large cluster, which also included Germany, Malta, Finland, Portugal, France and Belgium. Changes of the situation in the post-communist countries in this group improved very much during the analysed period (this was particularly evident for Czechia, Estonia and Poland). It is interesting to investigate whether the reaction of labour markets to changes in the global economic situation in post-communist countries is similar to that in the old EU countries. The similarity of changes can be measured using the DTW method. There is an empirical research gap in this respect. Therefore, the added value is the use of this method in assessing similarities of changes in the labour market situation in post-communist countries in comparison to the Western European ones.

The purpose of the presented research is to analyze the prospects of piggyback in improving the efficiency of or-ganization of agricultural supply chains to the world market. Ukraine is characterized by a high level of logistical com-ponent in transportation of agricultural products, which actualizes the issue of managed transformations in this field. The arguments and counterarguments on the viability of the strategy of using piggyback in the practice of build-ing a supply chain in the context of the agrarian market are analyzed. The basis of the formation of the author's vision is based on the criterion of economic feasibility. Attention was paid to the potential of piggyback in mitigating the situa-tion in the organization of agricultural supply chains by reducing: the need for storage capacities, expanding the range of exporting entities, smoothing the situation of shortages of hopper wagons. At the same time, the actual updating of the piggyback mechanism is connected with the change of the structure of Ukrainian agro-export, in the transition from the practice of raw material appendage to the strategy of creation of production chains with high added value. It is noted that the key feature of agro-logistics is the objective need to form highly specialized segments within it. Each group of a wide range of agricultural products requires an individual, non-uniform approach in the logistics of intermodal trans-portation. Piggyback is recognized as a promising direction for the development of the logistics services market in Ukraine. However, their implementation in the practice of organizing agricultural supply chains has objective limita-tions. The segment agricultural group where piggyback is economically viable includes high-value elite agricultural products with a small average export batch, as well as high value-added agro-industrial products. Key words: world market, piggyback, supply chains, international logistics, agricultural products, exports.

Oil And Gas Sector

The article considers the relevance of the problem of assessing the gross value added created by enterprises belonging to the oil and gas sector of the Russian Federation. There is no unified system of statistical indicators in the world that determine the boundaries and characterize the economy of the oil and gas complexes of the countries of the world. The World Bank’s calculation of the share of oil rents in the gross domestic product of the Russian Federation has adopted as one of the simple indicators for assessing the role of the oil and gas complex in the country’s economy. It has been noted that the oil rent is reflected only as a part of the primary income arising from the extraction of oil and gas, their processing, transportation and further use. The expediency of taking into account the entire value chain created in the oil and gas sector of the economy has been justified. The methodological difficulties of a number of interrelated problems have been highlighted in detail: measuring the added value created by service sector enterprises related to the oil and gas sector; complexly organization of production structures (vertically integrated companies); transfer pricing in the oil and gas industry; reflecting taxes and subsidies on products of the oil and gas sector. The conclusion has been made about the expediency of calculating the share of the oil and gas sector in the gross domestic product of the Russian Federation.

Business Process Analysis can be used to eliminate or reduce a waste cost caused by non value added activities that exist in a process. This research aims at evaluating activities carried out in the natural material procurement process in the PT XYZ, calculating the effectiveness of the process cycle, finding a way to improve the process management, and calculating the cost reduction that can achieved by activity management. A case study was the approach of this research. The researcher obtained research data throughout deep interviews with the staff who directly involved in the process, observation, and documentation of natural material procurement. The result of this study show that the effectiveness of the process cycle of natural material procurement in the factory reached as much as 87,1% for the sand material and 72% for the crushed stone. This indicates that the process still carry activities with no added value and still contain ineffective costs. Through the Business Process Mechanism, these non value added activities can be managed so that the process cycle becomes more efficient and cost effectiveness is achieved. The result of the effective cycle calculation after the management activities implementation is 100%. This means that the cost of natural material procurement process has become effective. The result of calculation of the estimated cost reduction as a result of management activity is as much as Rp249.026.635,90 per year.

Philosophical Nature

The question of the Russian man – his past, present and future – is the central one in the philosophy of history. Unfortunately, at present this area of philosophy is not suffciently developed in Russia. Partly the reason for this situation is the lack of understanding by researchers of the role played by Russian classical literature and its philosophizing writers in historiosophy. The Hunting Sketches, a collection of short stories by I.S. Turgenev, is a work still undervalued, not fully considered not only in details but also in general meanings. And this is understandable because it is the frst systematic encyclopedia of Russian worldview, which is not envisaged by the literary genre. To a certain extent, Turgenev’s line is continued by I. Goncharov (the theme of the mind and heart), L. Tolstoy (the theme of the living and the dead, nature and society, the people and the lords), F. Dostoevsky (natural and rational rights), A. Chekhov (worthy and vulgar life). This article examines the philosophical nature of The Hunting Sketches, its structure and content. According to author’s opinion, stories can be divided into ten groups according to their dominant meanings. Thus, in The Hunting Sketches the main Russian types are depicted: “natural man,” rational, submissive, cunning, honest, sensitive, passionate, poetic, homeless, suffering, calmly accepting death, imbued with the immensity of the world. In the image and the comments of the wandering protagonist, Ivan Turgenev reveals his own philosophical credo, which he defnes as a moderate liberalism – freedom of thought and action, without prejudice to others.
