<p>The article provides methodology to evaluate competition development perception on regional consumer markets by manufacturing companies. Competition is being treated as a function with a multi-dimensional latent character, connecting a set of factors-arguments and a set of consequences-results of competition development for companies, which are, in their turn, factors of competition limitation for end-up customers. This evaluation takes into account several groups of factors, including market entry barriers for new companies and operability restrictions for operating companies, and also factors of consumers demand. The evaluation data originate from results of internet-polls conducted among some regional manufacturing companies. The article provides examples of evaluation of competition perception on certain consumer markets of the Omsk region. The results of evaluation 1) may be used by regional authorities making decisions on type and direction of state support for small and medium-sized enterprises on inter-regional consumer markets; 2) are useful for manufacturing companies developing competitive marketing strategies.</p>

The practice of landscape and townscape or urban design is driven and shaped by consumer markets as much as it is by aesthetics and design values. Since the 1700s gardens and landscapes have performed like idealized lifestyle commodities via attractive images in mass media as landscape design and consumer markets became increasingly entangled. This essay is a methodological framework that locates landscape design studies in the context of visual consumer culture, using two examples of influential and media-savvy landscape designers: the renowned eighteenth-century English landscape gardener Humphry Repton and one of Britain’s top twentieth-century draftsmen and postwar townscape designers, Gordon Cullen. Rather than aesthetics and meaning, I focus on the designer’s motives, working modes, and visual marketing strategies for building audiences and markets. At the heart of these strategies is the performance of images in consumerist culture. Drawing on primary and secondary sources, I show that they persuasively fashioned, “packaged,” and “sold” their landscape commodity through attractive and marketable image-text products. The study highlights the specific role that each man assumed vis-à-vis his work environment and consumers, the pictorial sources that each used, and the media that broadcast and shaped each designer’s legacy. Despite the different historical contexts and the particular logics of the economy and mass media apparatuses of the time, this consumerist-focused study also reveals parallels between these men’s motives and image-making and marketing strategies. For instance, their drive for both professional and laypeople appeal led them to bridge theory and practice, use the “art of compromise,” and devise palatable and alluring images. By using consumerist arts perspectives in landscape and urban design studies, I offer a new interpretive path toward a historical knowledge that incorporates the landscape designer’s modus operandi and explains the role of mass media and marketing in the production and consumption of landscape.

Application of technical regulation measures frequently leads to excessive administrative pressure in the conformity assessment sphere. This pressure negatively affects economic agents’ activities and business environment which, in its turn, influences external and internal competitiveness of Russian enterprises. The article treats conformity assessment as one of major parameters that determine market entry barriers and company’s strategic behavior. The market of conformity assessment services itself and its entry barriers are also considered. The article highlights the market power of certification authorities and justifies the necessity to modernize the accreditation system.

The pharmaceutical market of Ukraine is characterized by a tendency to dominate imports over exports, which indicates its economic attractiveness for foreign companies that face various obstacles when entering the market. Entry barriers are understood as factors of an objective or subjective nature that prevent new firms from organizing profitable operations in the industry. The presence and impact of market barriers prove the need for their identification and comprehensive research. It has been established that when entering the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine, there are restrictive barriers related to state policy (for example, licensing, registration of medicines, examination, certification, etc.), barriers due to competition, and barriers of a non-legal nature. The results of the analysis of the competitive situation as a possible barrier characterize the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine as a market of free competition, which contributes to the relatively free entry of foreign manufacturers. Market entry barriers are also caused by anti-competitive behavior such as mergers and acquisitions, unfair competition, informal agreements, and so on. The results of the research can be used in making decisions about entering new markets or market segments for pharmaceutical companies, in forming competitive advantages and business strategies in order to develop potential in the long term.
