The article deals with the analysis of the organizational and institutional differences between the enterprises and ecosystems given in relational key and with the use of four-typed system language of G.B.Kleiner, applied for description of institutions as well. Features of different business-ecosystems with indication of dominated characteristics are analyzed which are as follows: innovation-oriented industrial clusters as objective systems, technological platforms as environmental systems, networks as processed systems and business-incubators as projective systems. An evolutionary logic of the enterprise development is presented with accent on two aspects: existential (enterprises are treated as existing objects, legal entities, as a rule, entering into explicit contractual relations and/or practicing implicit relations within themselves) and transactional (mattered in inter-firm interactions or relations between existing or potential elements of hybrid structures). Other logic connects to networks, especially, innovative – principally non-hierarchical structures, relied on the information power provided by the new technological paradigm. It is confirmed that the main difference between competing and functioning in market environment enterprises and such acting in the frame of ecosystems is the studied in the paper enterprises form functional unity with all types of ecosystems, however with different degree of intensity of this unity connection.

In a paper, features of business, or economic ecosystems, considered in relation to the ecosystems of bio-shere, with the usage of four-typed system language of description is analyzed. Such a tool of system interpretation, according to G.B.Kleiner, includes presentation of systems as objects, environments, processes and projects which in relation to social-economic ecosystems have connotation to organizations, infrastructural formations, business-processes and innovative projects. To characterize features of business-ecosystems, besides the four-typed system language, corresponding institutional notions are offered whose study is taken with the analogical system positions where institutions, according to B.H.Yerznkyan, are presented in a role of objects (players – economic agents), environments (market, firm or hybrid rules of the game), processes (the play of the game), projects (long-time norms of behavior). Features of different business-ecosystems with indication of dominated characteristics are analyzed which are as follows: innovation-oriented industrial clusters as objective (organizational) systems, technological platforms as environmental systems, networks or related by networking structures as processed systems and business-incubators as projective systems. In such context the ecosystem serves as an “umbrella” term to characterize the all of its types.

The article examines the trends of innovative development of industrial production, including the active transition to Industry 4.0. Digital technologies used by industrial companies in the world, Russia and its individual regions are identified and analyzed. The use by a small number of Russian companies of predominantly digital second-tier technologies was noted. A proposal has been formulated on the need to form a digitalization strategy for production activities on the basis of technological platforms in cooperation with industrial clusters in the field of IT technologies.

Enterprise development is dependent on the implementation of projects that contribute to improving economic performance. Considering this the need to apply the economic and management approach to the definition of effective projects under risks of reduced enterprise profitability due to the uncertain economic environment is justified. The study used scientific abstraction, formalization, causal relationship, time series analysis, variational range-based standardization, parameter minimization according to maximum and minimum values. The approach is created to evaluate the profitability dynamics of the production, management and finance subsystems of the enterprise, to monitor the deviations in the established corridor of their sufficient levels, to systematically control for the dynamics of the enterprise development to form the effective project portfolio, as well as to manage the risk reduction for projects that are inappropriate for development. The approach approbation, using Ukrainian machine-building enterprises as an example, has found enterprises with the level of development dynamics lower than the corridor determined. This indicates the risks of implementing inefficient projects and the need for systematic adjustment of their portfolio. The enterprises whose business operations belong to the fourth technological paradigm should implement projects to increase the profitability of the production and management subsystems, and those from the fifth paradigm should execute projects for the rise in the finance subsystem profitability.

The transition to sustainable development and the new industrial transformation of resource-dependent countries are closely intertwined. The cluster approach is an effective means of realizing industrial potential in the context of innovative development. Clusters’ innovation potential is influenced by the network synergies that result from active regional policies. The article considers the mechanism of supporting regional clusters by creating and maintaining the viability of regional innovative systems that enhance the effect of the creation of agglomerations, and allow industrial clusters to move to innovative clusters. The latter are the highest form of enterprise development, as the connection with territorial advantages is lost. In addition, the article raises the question of the feasibility of diversifying regional economies by creating tourist clusters and promoting their brands. This type allows economies to be more resilient to crises, to increase attention to environmental issues, and to further increase the revenue part of budgets.

Abstract The present work investigates clustering of a graph-based representation of industrial connections derived from international trade data by Hidalgo et al. (2007, The product space conditions the development of nations. Science, 317) and confirms the existence of nine industrial clusters that are reasonably consistent with expected historical patterns of diffusion of innovation and technology. This supports the notion that technological development occurs in sequential waves of innovation. The clustering method developed in this work follows conceptual ideas introduced by Pons and Latapy (2006, Computing communities in large networks using random walks. J. Graph Alg. Appl., 10, 191–218), Lambiotte and Barahona (2009, Laplacian dynamics and multiscale modular structure in networks. arXiv.org.) and other researchers—random walks can be used to assess hierarchical structures of network communities. We, however, implement these ideas differently in order to match the physics of the problem under consideration and introduce a hierarchical clustering procedure that is progressive in time and is combined with concurrent reordering of the elements. An equivalent spectral interpretation of the clustering procedure is also given and discussed in the paper.

The Banana is a widely grown edible and perennial crop cultivated all over Africa. This is a theoretical paper based on the facets of theories of production and enterprise development. Banana value creation through entrepreneurship for industrial growth in Africa is aimed at job creation, wealth creation, enterprise development, crowd funding, industrial clusters and sustainable development in Africa. The Banana, when well-nurtured, has a capacity to sustain production over a long period of time, suckering and multiplying successively, even on low-nutrient soils of African countries. In Nigeria, production appears best in the South-West, South-East and South-South geopolitical zones of the country. The North-Central zone can also competitively produce comparable scales. African entrepreneurs engaging in banana production or processing would obtain sustained economic satisfaction in terms of food security and income for small-scale farmers; international trade; domestic consumption; flour, chips and fried banana processing; and alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages. This paper finds that banana value creation and entrepreneurship can enhance consistent wealth creation and industrialization in Africa.

AbstractAssessment of brand competitiveness which influences consumer trends and company’s sales performance contributes to business development. This paper elaborates the theories and the main investigations of brand competitiveness, and formulates a comprehensive hierarchical structure integrating multi-attribute indexes, i.e., social, technical, managerial, environmental and cultural criteria. An integrated multi-criterion decision-making (MCDM) model combining with analytic hierarchy process (AHP), grey relational analysis (GRA) and VIKOR is presented to determine the weights of influence criteria and to evaluate brand competitiveness. The utilized integrated methodology has been proved to be valid and practical by the empirical application on three enterprises. The results provide an accurate and effective tool for MCDM problem and also a new guideline for the enterprise development.

Abstract This contribution presents the most recent state of research regarding functional item additions. The typology of functional item additions is rearranged on the basis of the distinction between glossed and non-glossed item additions. It is shown that and how functional item additions determine the hybrid structures of all types of elementary and nonelementary items and dictionary arcticles and determine a typology of such structures. Thereby a new typology is developed on the basis of the terms lexicographic superscript and subscript that allows a precise differentiation of the individual hybrid structures. Finally a network is developed in which all hybrid and pure article-related types of hierarchical structures, like the four types of article structures, i.e. article microstructures, article constituent structures, article item structures and exhaustive artictle item structures as well as all types of hierarchical comment structures, e.g. left and right core structures, left and right periphery structures, left, middle and right interstructures can be linked with one another across two types of partial structure relations, i.e. the substructure relation and the reduction relation.

Aggregation of different variables into one road safety performance index is a popular concept in evaluating road safety and comparing the performance of territories/entities. This paper presents the development of a novel and innovative weighting methodology using grey relational analysis. Based on the proposed model, ten hierarchical road safety indicators were selected in terms of a two-layered model with three categories related to behaviour, safety and system. Grey weights are assigned to the categorized indicators in each layer, and the grey road safety composite indicator for each entity (21 selected territories) is calculated by the weighted sum approach. With relatively high weights, this systematic methodology can serve the policy makers in targeting the risk domains where improvements are needed. The results clearly illustrate effectiveness in addressing a large number of indicators with hierarchical structures.
