Methodological Approaches

The article presents an overview of scientific publications on institutions of entrepreneurship development. It has been stated that most of publications consider three main issues: the definition of such institutions, their typology and methodological tools for assessing the effectiveness of functioning. There have been determined the specific features of the institution of entrepreneurship development in the Northern raw materials regions: Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous District - Yugra and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District. It has been found that the institution of entrepreneurship development in the regions under consideration is at the stage of its formation. There is a sufficient infrastructure to support small businesses. The lack of unified methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of the institution of entrepreneurship development and a large number of different structures do not allow to manage purposefully the process of entrepreneurship development. A methodological approach to assessing the socio-economic efficiency of the entrepreneurship institute on the basis of target indicators and criteria for the social and economic efficiency of budgetary investments directed through institutions of entrepreneurship development has been proposed. The presented methodological approach includes five stages: determination of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the institution of entrepreneurship development; identification of problems based on the analysis; formation of a system of goals; developing criteria for the social and economic efficiency of budget investments. As criteria for the social efficiency of budget investments it was proposed to use the following factors: population employment, expanding the range of services, increasing transport permeability, maintaining traditional activities of the indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North. The criteria of economic efficiency include the innovative nature of entrepreneurship, the decrease in the mono-profile of the regional economy, the development of competitive products, the promotion of the formation of an information society. The final stage provides correlating the feasibility and possibilities of directing budgetary investments to the institution of entrepreneurship development in order to achieve the target indicators. The recommended methodological approach makes it possible to formulate the priorities of the institution of entrepreneurship development at the regional level and to allocate budgetary funds with maximum efficiency.

One of the key ones and most cost-effective technology from an economic point of view for the real sector is the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, which is usually provided in the form of Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, still does not have its own framework for assessing its economic efficiency. The author proposes a methodological approach based on a combination of classical methods of investment analysis and an architectural approach. From the information point of view the scientific work is based on cost-effectiveness studies of IoT projects, domestic and foreign scientific publications, IT cases and research on taxonomy of IoT platforms. The proposed approach may serve as the basis both for preparation of financial business cases and for facilitating the development of tools for objective assessment of the project initiatives attractiveness as part of implementation of the state digital development programs in Russia.

PurposeThe purpose of the paper is to model the modern global practice of social management of human capital – at the state and corporate levels – to determine the perspectives of its optimization and to develop the basic principles of a new methodological approach to social management of human capital, which is preferable in the conditions of social market economy.Design/methodology/approachThe author uses mathematical tools, including correlation and regression analysis. These are applied to determine the influence of each of the 12 indicators for the labor market that are presented as part of The World Economic Forum's (WEF’s) ”The Global Competitiveness Report 2019” on The United Nations Development Programme's (UNDP) Human Development Index. The research objects are countries from each of the four categories of nations, as distinguished by UNDP, in the Human Development Index. By unifying the 2019 data from UNDP and WEF, a data set is formed.FindingsIt is substantiated that in modern economic practice, it is impossible to achieve the “ideal” conditions necessary for applying existing methodological approaches to the social management of human capital, which reduces how effectively current approaches function. Foundation on the existing methods leads to uncertainty as to management of human capital, which is social by 95.14% in 2019. Though the achieved value of the social management of human capital is close to being optimal, it is still not enough to achieve a high level of human development, which was 0.685 on average for the global economy in 2019 and is likely to increase by 31.43% until 2025, for acknowledging the social market status of the modern economy.Originality/valueIt is proven that there is a need for a new, mixed, methodological approach to the social management of human capital, which would optimally combine the best practices of both state and corporate management. The principles for the practical implementation of such an approach are offered, and proposals are developed to substantiate the contribution of this approach to the achievement of the global goals of sustainable development.

This study suggests the social construcionism approach as useful methodological approach to comprehend strategy as a social practice. For this purpose the results of interviews conducted with owners, business partners and executives are presented regarding the meanings attributed to the practice of strategy in their organizations. The aim was investigate how strategic practitioners build strategic understanding of what strategy is, how it is created in organizations and who are involved in its creation. We develop depth interviews with 23 executives/business owners who work with the strategy in their professional life. Interpreting their linguistic repertoires, through the methodological approach of social constructionism, the results showed a diversity of understandings for the themes “what is strategy” and “how the strategy is created”. The study concluded that the social value of the word strategy was one factor in its spread, especially among small businesses, because the use of the word strategy legitimates the members of an organization to demonstrate that they act as good managers and gives meaning to actions that have always existed in the organizational space.

Socio Economic Development

Research Question: The study is aimed to explore the achieved level of socio-economic development of European countries, providing their efficiency analysis. Motivation: Current trends in the social wellbeing quantification indicate the neediness to change the perception of growth that relies solely on economic performance and the requisite to develop new approaches in measuring societal progress that, in addition to economic, includes the social performance of the national economy. Modern concepts are designed to encompass both the economic aspect and social goals. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to contribute to the development of a methodological approach that can be applied to assess the level of socio-economic development. Idea: The study has been developed with the main idea to empirically assess and quantify the socio-economic development of European countries in order to improve traditional performance measures, which are primarily focused on economic aspects, omitting other aspects of sustainability. Data: A sample of 32 European countries was empirically analysed based on the data on socio-economic development indicators in 2018 (employment rates, mean equivalised net income, GDP per capita PPS, and percentage of people at risk of poverty and social exclusion) obtained from EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) and Eurostat database. Tools: The assessment of the achieved level of socio-economic development was carried out using a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) based on the BCC output-oriented model with four output variables. Findings: Most of the EU28 countries (26 out of 28) do not achieve satisfactory levels of socio-economic efficiency. Additionally, countries of Northern and Western Europe achieve greater socio-economic efficiency, compared to the countries of Southern Europe. Four countries have a satisfactory level of socio-economic efficiency (the Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Norway). Contribution: This paper contributes to the existing literature in the field of socio-economic sustainability assessment through testing of the model with empirical data on European countries.

Relevance. Formation of a circular economy assumes a special place among the new realities that fundamentally affect new technological trends in industrial development. Although the concept of this economy is at the stage of formation, many developed countries, primarily the EU countries, necessarily include it in the most important strategic documents for the development of their countries provisions related to the key principles of a circular economy. The strategic planning system in Russia also includes documents based on the use of individual principles of this economy, contains the development and use of possible mechanisms for integrating the requirements of low-waste and low-carbon development into a circular economy. The industrial development of the country has a special influence on the process of transformation of a linear economy into a circular one, the greening of which is largely associated with solving the problem of processing industrial waste. The decisive role in their formation belongs to the country’s mining and metallurgical complex. To date, numerous technological processes for the complex processing of technogenic resources have been developed; there are investment projects in this area. However, there is no modern methodological toolkit for assessing their effectiveness, taking into account the sharply changing world and national conditions, economic conditions. The purpose of the work is to form a methodological approach to assessing the ecological and economic efficiency of processing technogenic formations of mining and metallurgical industries. Methods of research. The methodological basis of the study is a functional approach that allows taking into account the rapidly changing economic conditions. The research methodology is based on the basic provisions of the methodology of real options. Results. A comparative assessment of the formation and processing of wastes from mining and metallurgical production in Russia and the Urals is carried out. A methodological approach to assessing the socio-economic efficiency of processing technogenic resources has been formed. A classification system for the conditions of real options is proposed for assessing the efficiency of processing of technogenic raw materials. Conclusions. The results of the study confirm the feasibility of using the proposed methodological toolkit for assessing the efficiency of processing technogenic resources of various industries. The formed system of classification of the conditions of real options for assessing the efficiency of processing of technogenic raw materials creates the possibility of choosing optimal management decisions.

Varios enfoques teórico-metodológicos en la ciencia social nos permiten identificar las diferentes formas en que los individuos construyen su conocimiento, así como evidenciar las condicionantes para el tránsito de la información de lo individual a lo social y viceversa. Se asume como un proceso holístico de conocimientos adquiridos y transmitidos, que puede incluso transformar comportamientos. Dos enfoques a los que nos referimos son las Representaciones Sociales (RS) y las Creencias Epistemológicas (CE). Consideramos que las RS y las CE son aproximaciones distintas, pero estrechamente vinculadas entre sí al compartir puntos de encuentro, aunque sus conceptualizaciones no lo reflejen. En este artículo se evidencian las convergencias y divergencias de ambas nociones, desde sus enfoques teóricos hasta las aproximaciones metodológicas de los diversos estudios emprendidos con base en cada una de ellas. Several theoretical-methodological approaches in the social sciences facilitate the identification of the different ways in which individuals construct knowledge. These approaches also highlight the conditions necessary for the transfer of information from the individual to the social and vice versa. They are considered to form an acquired and transmitted holistic process of knowledge, which can even transform behavior. Two of these approaches are Social Representations and Epistemological Beliefs. Although considered to be distinct approaches, Social Representations and Epistemological Beliefs are closely linked through their shared convergent points even though their conceptualizations do not reflect this. The article highlights the convergences and divergences of both notions taking into consideration their specific theoretical approach up through their specific methodological approach using different studies undertaken and based on each one of them

The economic assessment of the three-mowing technology for harvesting grass raw materials for haylage was carried out on the basis of new methodological approaches. The total costs (50.5–53.9 thousand rubles/ha) for the creation and use of promising different-ripening grass stands paid off in 1.6 years. In the next 3–27 years of grass life, due to the productive longevity of agrocenoses, 19.1–25.0 thousand rubles/ha of conditional net income were received. The cost of 1 feed unit was 5.2–5.8 rubles with a production margin of 69–87%.

Cognitive Foundations

This paper examines the cognitive foundations of natural theology: the intuitions that provide the raw materials for religious arguments, and the social context in which they are defended or challenged. We show that the premises on which natural theological arguments are based rely on intuitions that emerge early in development, and that underlie our expectations for everyday situations, e.g., about how causation works, or how design is recognized. In spite of the universality of these intuitions, the cogency of natural theological arguments remains a matter of continued debate. To understand why they are controversial, we draw on social theories of reasoning and argumentation.
