It is extremely important for Russia as a Federal State to approve the meso-level of strategic planning within the framework of transition to the system of planing. The role of such type of planning is to link and coordinate federal strategies both of sectoral and spatial nature with the strategies of social and economic development of the regions of the Russian Federation. Until recently, such a role, although quite passively, was played by the strategies of the federal districts, which were mainly based on the principle of mechanical summation of regional strategies with an attempt to promote somehow the practice of interregional cooperation. When developing the strategic planning documents in accordance with the requirements of the 172nd Federal law the hypothesis of linking the meso-level of such planning to macroregions, partly as an alternative to federal districts was generated. The concept of macroregion is well known in the regional development theory and it is also tested in the national economy, in particular in the form of the system of so-called “councils of national economy” (Sovnarkhoz). However, in modern conditions taking into account the realities of Russia and the specifics of the economy of the market type, the approval of the macroregion as a special subject of strategic planning requires a wide range of legal, economic and institutional prerequisites which are studied in this article.

The purpose of the study is to collect and analyze the complete database of social and economic development strategies of Russian cities with the population exceeding 100 thousand people approved by local regulatory acts in the period between mid-2014 (that is, after the adoption of the Federal Law “On Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation”) and the end of 2019. The task is challenging because despite the presence of the public federal state register of strategic documents in Russia, it does not contain complete and accurate information about documents at the municipal level. The studied range includes 168 cities. The search studies official websites of city administrations and legislative bodies as well as other open sources. Many documents are found on the websites of legal reference systems or in regional databases of strategic documents. As a result of the research, the database of documents under study includes 94 new strategies approved in 87 cities, which is about 51.8% of all cities in the studied group. In addition, 21 strategies had been updated and so only 60 cities out of 168 did not have an updated (in the sense of compliance with the Federal Law) strategy at the end of 2019. The analysis of the territorial distribution of cities that approved strategies after the adoption of the law shows the relative leadership of the cities of the Ural Federal District, the Siberian Federal District and the Far Eastern Federal District on strategic planning. On the basis of the results of studying the dynamics of approving strategic documents, the authors propose an updated periodization of strategic planning at the city level: Stage 1 – from 1997 to 2006 (“innovative strategic planning”); Stage 2 – from 2007 to 2014 (“mass proactive strategic planning”); Stage 3 – from 2014 to 2018 (“legal strategic planning”).

The presented study examines the specific aspects and processes of the functioning of regional economies and interregional interaction.Aim. The study aims to analyze the existing mechanisms of the functioning and interaction of regional economic systems.Tasks. The authors present a general scheme for the functioning of a regional economic system; examine the principles of interaction between regional economic systems; determine the specific aspects of inter-sectoral interaction as a form of interregional cooperation.Methods. This study uses general scientific methods, including systems analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction, specification and generalization, and modelling.Results. The authors substantiate a general scheme for the functioning of the regional economic system as an object of management. Its structural elements include the region’s production-economic and socio-economic complexes and the fiscal sphere. It is shown that interregional interaction is now particularly important as it facilitates joint production of goods. Interregional interaction involves the exchange of goods and services, migration processes, and financial exchange. Interregional cooperation should be based on the existing federal and regional strategies. It is established that inter-sectoral interaction and formation of regional sectoral clusters are efficient forms of interregional cooperation.Conclusions. A specific feature of the functioning of regional economies is that it is regulated simultaneously at the macro- and meso-level. Regulation at the meso-level involves the implementation of regional economic development strategies with allowance for the socio-economic features of individual administrative and territorial units. At the macro-level, the regional economy functions within the existing strategy of the federal center and also involves interregional and inter-sectoral interaction.

The authors of the article analyze the modern organizational, structural, methodological and informational problems of developing regional strategies in the period after the adoption of federal law № 172 «On strategic planning in the Russian Federation» and the Methodological recommendations for the development and adjustment of the strategy for socio-economic development of the subject of the Russian Federation . For this, a comparative analysis of regional strategies of the regions of the Volga Federal District was carried out. The following problems were identified: there is no single methodological approach to understanding the essence and basic elements of regional strategies; strategic documents of various types and levels are not agreed upon; long-term interests of economic agents in regional strategies are not consistent; lack of methodological support for the adaptability of targets and forecast indicators to changes in the external and internal environment; different institutional status and planning horizon of regional strategies; there is no single approach to the selection and presentation of target indicators in regional strategies; there is a problem of information support and methodological substantiation of regional strategies. The authors identified key areas for improving the information and methodological support for the development of regional strategies.

New Challenges

The article aims to summarize new conditions and new challenges, which currently determine the possibility and even the need for substantial revitalization of the strategic management of the social and economic development of Russian municipalities.Five years of practice of implementing the provisions of the Federal Law no. 172 on trategic planning in the Russian Federation revealed a sufficiently large number of gaps in this legislative act, which currently need to be filled. However, the complexity of the situation cannot be reduced only to the initial mistakes made during the development and adoption of this legislative act. Much of the issues which need to be amended or supplemented in the law on strategic planning today is connected with new conditions and priorities of the social and economic development of the country, its regions and municipal territories. The mentioned above fully concerns the issue of the logical (in the legal and economic sense) completion of the “hierarchical relationship” of strategic planning through a more complete and clear legal regulation of the main forms and key functions of strategic planning at the municipal level of management. The solution of this problem is not limited only by the elimination of the dualism or uncertainty that is necessary for positioning municipal strategizing in the current version of the Federal Law no. 172. The point is that legal regulation should cover a lot of new phenomena of territorial organization of production, settlements (for example, megacities, agglomerations); identify the features of municipal management and strategizing in such specific “points” as towns and mono industry cities, particularly depressed settlements, intercity municipalities, etc. However, the necessity to achieve the coordination of positions on this wide range of issues between the legislation on strategic planning and the legislation on the general principles of the organization of local self-government in the Russian Federation is shown.

The article examines the competitive status and competitive positions of Ukraine. It proves that in the current context the competitive status of the national economy is determined by the presence of a strong global competitive force that provides dynamic growth based on innovation potential, developed institutions, infrastructure, ICT adoption, macroeconomic stability, health, skills, product market, labor market, financial system, market size, business dynamism rather than by traditional factors (natural resources, geopolitical situation). It has been identified that a wide range of factors in global competitive force establishment suggests the complexity of its assessment. It has been noted that in world economic practice the Global Competitiveness Index of the World Economic Forum is predominantly used to assess the competitive status of the national economy. It has been determined that according to this index, in the overall ranking among 141 countries in 2019, Ukraine ranked 85th (2009-2010 – 82/133; 2018 – 83/140). The article analyzes of the competitive status of Ukraine in the international arena in terms of twelve pillars of the studied index and in the context of components of the said pillars. The dynamics of Ukraine's global competitive force in recent years shows that there has not been any build up. However, if one analyzes it in terms of the criteria of the global competitive force of the domestic economy, their assessment is volatile: the main regression can be traced in the sphere of the financial system, where Ukraine dropped by 19 positions in one year (2018 – 117/140, 2019 – 136/141), and the greatest progress is observed in the product market, where Ukraine rose by 16 positions in one year (2018 – 73/140, 2019 – 57/141). Analysis of the components of Ukraine’s global competitive force criteria shows that the worst positions in terms of such components are as follows: non-performing loans (% of gross total loans) – 139/141 and soundness of banks – 131/141. The best positions are in terms of the following components: costs of starting a business – 14/141 and attitude towards entrepreneurial risk – 18/141.

The authors consider the issues of forming a procurement strategy for enterprises of the fuel and energy complex (FEC) as a management tool. The study begins with a review of the categories of strategy, purchasing, and risk. Based on the generalization and interpretation of the obtained knowledge, the author's model of procurement strategy for enterprises of the fuel and energy complex is proposed, which differs from the existing ones in that it simultaneously acts as a means of connecting the enterprise with the external market environment. The strategy has a complex multi-stage character with many elements. Through detailed strategic planning can be achieved high efficiency of the procurement activities of enterprises of fuel and energy. The proposed algorithm can form the basis of an unlimited number of branches of the national economy.

Career theories are developed to help make sense of the complexity of career choice and development. The intricacy of the subject matter is such that career theories most often focus on one or two aspects of the phenomenon. As such, the challenges of integrating the theories with each other, and integrating them within career practice, are not insignificant. In this chapter, an overview of the theoretical landscape is offered that illustrates how the theories align with each other to build up a comprehensive picture of career choice and development. The chapter introduces a wide range of theoretical frameworks, spanning seven decades and numerous academic disciplines, and discusses the most well-known theorists alongside less familiar names. The chapter is structured around four concepts: identity, environment, career learning, and psychological career resources. Suggestions are offered for the incorporation of theories in career practice.

Technological Competitiveness

A significant number of scientific economic theories have been identified, which substantiate the essential characteristics of the technological competitiveness of the national economy. The difference between each of the theories is due to the evolution of economic development, conditions and factors of formation, as well as directions and means (tools) to ensure the technological competitiveness of the national economy. The conditions and factors of formation of technological competitiveness of the national economy according to economic theories of competition – blue ocean, global advance of competitors, competitive advantages, cyclical development of economy, neoliberalism, structuring are allocated. In each of the theories of competition as their historical evolution, the technological competitiveness of the economy was considered in the context of access and ability to effectively use technological resources, the formation of the market of innovation and technology, implementation of state policy to stimulate innovation. Taking into account theories of competition allows to clarify the important characteristics of technological competitiveness of the national economy, which relate to determining the influence of society, state, market environment, globalization and informatization on the creation and implementation of technologies in economic processes, economic competitiveness. Analysis of the evolution of scientific views shows the high intensity of changes in the field of competition and provides a wide range of conditions and factors for the formation of technological competitiveness, the development of economic agents. Accordingly, the lack of opportunities for technological and innovative development of national producers should be regarded as the main threat to the competitiveness of the economy. These are market, infrastructural, technological, innovative, intellectual, resource and other trends, in the context of which it becomes possible to effectively use competitive opportunities.

Risk-oriented approach in the implementation of control (supervision) activities is an important state task that affects the country economy. As part of the implementation of the priority area of reforming control and supervision activities, the Federal Law «On the state control (supervision) and municipal control in the Russian Federation» was adopted, which comes into force on July 1, 2021. In order to implement the Federal Law «On state control (supervision) and municipal control in the Russian Federation», it is advisable to revise the regulation on the federal state energy supervision. It is required to study the issue of taking into account the risks of causing harm (damage) to legally protected values when carrying out control (supervision) activities in relation to the subjects (objects) of the energy sector, as well as criteria for assigning it to the risk category and indicators of the risk of mandatory requirements violation. Currently, the only criterion for assigning the harm (damage) to the risk category is the dependence on the established and (or) transmitted capacity of the energy facilities used, which is nonobjective due to the changes in the normative-regulatory framework for the implementation of control and supervision activities. It is required to study the issue of categorization depending on the established (transmitted) capacity of the object, the amount of economic damage as a result of the implementation of emergency situations and (or) emergency incidents (in value terms), the number of people killed (irretrievable losses), the number of people whose vital functions were disrupted as a result of the implementation of emergency situations and (or) emergency incidents.
