Dynamic and deep socio-economic transformations at the present stage of the development of social and economic life even more accentuate the attention of researchers and practitioners on the concentration of reflected forms that characterize their virtual nature. The superstructure of virtual forms, complementing the real basis of the economic system, transforms it in a similar way. Virtual signs, products, images form many-sided images, reproducing the mental activity of a person endlessly. Rapid flows of information are increasing, financial derivatives and currency transactions are multiplying, specific services are carried out that do not have a subjectobject basis and form virtual reality, reflecting and multiplying. The article shows that behind the movement of reflected forms there is a certain essence containing past and future scenarios of the formation of a new way of organizing economic activity of people, designated in a number of works as “knowledge economy”. For effective management of such economy the system quality of communications in all spheres of social and economic processes and the phenomena at the present stage is important. The authors investigate the structural elements of virtual reality and their characteristics; consider synonymous categories denoting the interaction of socio-economic systems in the network space. The article demonstrates theoretical and methodological approaches that reveal the essence, nature and content of the “virtual economy” and “virtual reality” in the conditions of modern socioeconomic transformations. The article uses the resources of knowledge economy, political economy, evolutionary and post-industrial methodology.

The transformation of post-industrial American life in the late 20th and early 21st centuries includes several economically robust metropolitan centers that stand as new models of urban and economic life, featuring well-educated populations that engage in professional practices in education, medical care, design and legal services, and artistic and cultural production. By the early 21st century, these cities dominated the nation’s consciousness economically and culturally, standing in for the most dynamic and progressive sectors of the economy, driven by collections of technical and creative spark. The origins of these academic and knowledge centers are rooted in the political economy, including investments shaped by federal policy and philanthropic ambition. Education and health care communities were and remain frequently economically robust but also rife with racial, economic, and social inequality, and riddled with resulting political tensions over development. These information communities fundamentally incubated and directed the proceeds of the new economy, but also constrained who accessed this new mode of wealth in the knowledge economy.

Abstract Assistance is becoming increasingly relevant in carrying out industrial work in the context of cyber-physical production systems (CPPSs) and Industry 4.0. While assistance in a single task via a single interaction modality has been explored previously, crossdevice interaction could improve the quality of assistance, especially given the concurrent and distributed nature of work in CPPSs. In this paper, we present the theoretical foundations and implementation of MiWSICx (Middleware for Work Support in Industrial Contexts), a middleware that showcases how multiple interactive computing devices such as tablets, smartphones, augmented/virtual reality glasses, and wearables could be combined to provide crossdevice industrial assistance. Based on activity theory, MiWSICx models human work as activities combining multiple users, artifacts, and cyber-physical objects. MiWSICx is developed using the actor model for deployment on a variety of hardware alongside a CPPS to provide multiuser, crossdevice, multiactivity assistance.

ABSTRACT In a world with enough natural and human resources to feed, dress and house the entire population in a nondestructive way, it is not logical to see most people living in poverty, consuming in unsustainable proportions and destroying the basic systems that support life. Understanding the economy only through the lenses of the capitalism money has transformed society and shaped cities. How long will the multiplication of profits be the main objective? How far do we move away from our roots to meet an unsustainable economic model? Are we happy in this system? And, after all, are there alternatives? The aim of this research is to point out possibilities for a healthy economy and, consequently, a better quality of life. From a wide review of the literature, this article addresses the social and economic transformations resulting from the popularisation of the Internet - emphasising the paradigm shifts that are transforming the logic of capitalism's unsustainable growth (scarcity vs. abundance; competition vs. collaboration, etc.). The improvement of the connection between people, projects and ideas drives much-needed social innovation, especially in times of crisis. In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and the challenges related to climate change, this article explores three examples of so-called "new economies": Creative, Collaborative and Circular. It was observed that economies based on the new paradigms and aligned with the post-industrial era are more fluid and capable of rescuing the sense of community, of regenerating ecosystems, of reconnecting individuals with their purposes and of the redesigning of cities, generating vibrant and resilient local economies.

The Relationship

Integration is an economic process of mutual adaptation, expansion of economic and industrial cooperation, unification of national economies of two or more states, a form of internationalization of economic life. The very process of globalization of the economic sector and production, which is developing very rapidly, is closely linked to international integration as a whole. This process, in turn, shows the relationship and adaptation of the economy, the harmonization of global economic systems. All this determines the relevance of the author's research. The article focuses on the issues and content of the memorandum of the Eurasian Economic Union, where the main goal is to create and develop a global unified system, which is implemented on the principle of free trade, services, and human capital. This principle ensures the effective and free development of the economy of the EAEU States. This document is aimed at improving the quality of life of the population. It is proved that at present the business of states is increasingly integrated into the integration processes. Based on the results of the study of issues related to integration processes in the economy, the corresponding conclusions are made.

Introduction. The emergence of the term "New Economy" is associated with the development of modern electronic information technology, the formation of the information system of the Internet. The new economy is a systemic phenomenon that is gradually formed within the post-industrial period of economic development through the introduction of scientific and technological progress and innovative management methods, intellectualization of human capital, the use of advanced technologies and scientific and economic sectors of the national economy. The new economy is formed on the basis of the intellectualization of production and all economic life. The purpose of the paper is the identification and study of the term “New Economy”, analysis of its advantages and disadvantages. Consideration of characteristics and priority directions in development, identification of the basis of the new economy. Describe the benefits of the new economy. Result. The main characteristics of the new economy are knowledge. They are considered as a productive factor and a strategic resource. In a “new economy” a product is produced, wealth is the result of the application of knowledge, which is both a resource used to create goods and services, and an element of infrastructure. The new economy is a systemic phenomenon that is gradually formed within the post-industrial period of economic development through the introduction of scientific and technological progress and innovative management methods, intellectualization of human capital, the use of advanced technologies and knowledge-intensive industries. Conclusion. The above features allow us to define the "New Economy" as a process of formation and development of the world economy, which is global in nature, subject to social progress and economic growth is achieved using a new factor of production – constantly updated knowledge (“knowledge economy”) includes the "knowledge economy" of its mechanism of knowledge production, infrastructure and resource potential.

The Impact

The article is devoted to reviewing tools for analyzing the impact of external and internal factors on the system of "quality of education" in the educational institution. The determining factor in the analysis of the state of development of educational activities in the educational institution is determining the level of efficiency of the quality assurance system of educational activities and the quality of education. This system makes it possible to manage the educational activities of the educational institution at any level, from school to university. The article aims to propose a comprehensive algorithm for assessing the impact of external and internal factors, including socio-economic, on the system "quality of education" and the formation of indicators list for assessing this analysis's results as elements of educational institution development strategy. In the framework of the study to analyze the influence of external and internal factors on the system "quality of education," the abstract-logical method, the method of analogies, and induction-deductions are used. In addition to the tools used in the study of economic systems, the schemes inherent in the description of technical and information objects with an analogy between technical and socio-economic systems are also used. A combination of several tools: SWOT-analysis to assess the internal and external state of the system "quality of education", "PESTEL-analysis to assess the impact of internal and external factors on the system" quality of education", Ishikawa causal diagram to analyze the main problems of quality assurance education (based on the criteria for evaluating educational programs from the National Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education), a combination of the Deming cycle and methods of testing software products to determine the performance of the "education quality" system are used in the article. According to the research results, each of the analysis tools in the general algorithm of forming the educational institution's development strategy is presented. The use of the proposed algorithm is possible for the system "quality of education" and other systems for building models of control and management of the processes of ensuring the compliance of elements with certain indicators.

The "marketocentric" economic theory is now dominating in modern science (similar to Ptolemeus geocentric model of the Universe in the Middle Ages). But market economy is only one of different types of economic systems which became the main mode of resources allocation and motivation only in the end of the 19th century. Authors point to the necessity of the analysis of both pre-market and post-market relations. Transition towards the post-industrial neoeconomy requires "Copernical revolution" in economic theory, rejection of marketocentric orientation, which has become now not only less fruitful, but also dogmatically dangerous, leading to the conservation and reproduction of "market fundamentalism".

The Relationship

The article discusses a non-standard view of the formation of human capital for work in organizations of the agricultural sector of the economy, in the context of modern socio-economic transformations. In the classical sense, human capital for agriculture should be formed and developed in rural areas. But in real life, this is not always the case, because there are many factors that prevent the classical solution of this problem. First, the demographic factor affects, second, social and household factors, and third, in many rural areas there are no working agricultural organizations where qualified agricultural specialists can work. All these and other circumstances actualize the problem of the quality of human capital in rural areas in relation to the development of agricultural production.

Aim. The presented study aims to develop the methodology for assessing the quality of management of organizational transformation processes. Tasks. To achieve the set aim, the authors solve the following problems: determine the essence and content of socio-economic transformation, formulate quality assurance principles for the management of transformation processes, draw attention to the problem of selecting a unified quality criterion for the management of organizational transformation processes. Methods. This study uses general scientific methods of cognition, including analysis and synthesis. It also applies a systems approach to identify the major problems of assessing the quality of management of transformation processes, including the problem of selecting a unified quality criterion for the management of transformation processes and formulating the principles of ensuring the quality of management of transformation processes. Results. The global problem of managing transformation processes in the economic system consists in the complexity of the managed processes, which increases due to the multidimensionality, mutual influence, and the resulting uncertainty of interactions between the elements of the system. It is concluded that the methodology for assessing the quality of management of transformation processes is based on the principle of integrating separate measures to improve the quality of management of system elements into a single system of management actions and the principle of ensuring that management actions are primarily aimed at preventing possible negative consequences of the transformation of economic systems, i.e. reducing the potential impact of unfavorable events and their consequences. To assess the effectiveness of targeted management actions and productive actions aimed at organizing, controlling, and guiding the transformation process, the authors actualize the problem of selecting an adequate quality criterion for the management of transformation processes in economic systems and put forward a hypothesis about a possible unified criterion of management quality. Conclusions. The principle of integrating separate measures to improve the quality of management of system elements and the principle of ensuring that management actions are aimed at preventing possible negative consequences lie at the core of the methodology for assessing the quality of management of transformation processes in economic systems. The quality assessment methodology should be developed in the direction of finding a unified quality criterion for managing transformation processes in economic systems.
