Subject. The article investigates the process of market orientation of enterprise functioning based on a marketing strategy. Objectives. We focus on building a model of market orientation of enterprise functioning, enabling to choose a development strategy and increase production efficiency. Methods. The study rests on developments, concepts and hypotheses that are justified and reflected in the works on the problems of economic theory, economic growth, and development. Results. We present a model of market orientation of enterprise functioning, which is based on a marketing strategy. Conclusions. The proposed mechanism for assessing a market orientation model at the enterprise enables to create a universal criterion that takes into account both financial and non-financial indicators of evaluating a marketing strategy, namely, an integrated indicator of customer value satisfaction. A special feature of the model is the ability to compare integrated indicators of customer value satisfaction for each developed marketing strategy at the enterprise. As a result of such a comparison, it is possible to choose the most effective strategy for the analyzed enterprise.

To increase production efficiency of meat products, milk protein additives are often used. Despite a number of advantages, use of dairy ingredients involves a certain risk, namely the allergenic potential of milk proteins. A number of methods have been developed to detect milk-origin raw materials in foodstuffs, including immunological reference methods. This study presents newly developed immunohistochemical (IHC) methods for casein detection in meat products. Casein was successfully detected directly in meat products where sensitivity was determined at 1.21 and specificity at 0.28. The results obtained from the IHC were compared with the Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA) and there was no statistically significant difference between the IHC and ELISA methods (p > 0.05). The correspondence between the methods was 72% in total. The highest correspondence was reached in frankfurters (90%), the lowest in canned pâté (44%).

Companies usually like to claim that they are market-oriented; however, many studies reveal that businesses typically rely on short-term financial indicators, only a small percentage of firms consider time spent on consumers as important, and marketing is considered as a cost rather than an investment. Companies, however, need to understand their own and their environment's operations in order to set the right objectives, manage their tangible and intangible resources, and achieve the best possible performance. This paper focuses on performance measurement and its relation to market orientation, marketing activity, objectives and marketing resources. This research reveals that though marketing's role in the organisation seems to be significant managers' commitment to marketing often remains at an attitudinal level, and they tend to overestimate their marketing efforts. Furthermore, customer-based measures seem to be good indicators of market-orientation, still managers consider financial and market performance measures to be more important. This paper supports the finding that market orientation and business success are strongly related to one another.

The formulation of marketing strategy is augmented with the firm making efforts to develop market orientation. Market orientation is the ability of the firm to “orient” its marketing strategy to the requirements of the market and continually re-orient its marketing strategy to the changes that occur in the market and business environment. The paper examines the nature of market orientation through literature review and outlines the meaning of the types of strategic thrusts, with specific focus on introducing a new position of competitive advantage called “market mechanisms.” The paper then postulates aspects of enabling reorientation of marketing strategy to keep up with changes in the market and business environment. The paper then extends the understanding of market orientation in extant literature by outlining the details of accommodating the convergence between the business purpose of firm orientation and the business purpose of value creation that encapsulates the firm-customer relationship or the market. An empirical section on certain “orient” aspects is laid out. Implications for marketing strategists are discussed.

Microalgae have long been used for the commercial production of natural colorants such as carotenoids and chlorophyll. Due to the rising demand for carotenoids and other natural products from microalgae, strategies to increase production efficiency are urgently needed. The production of microalgal biorefineries has been limited to countries with moderate climates. For countries with cooler climates and less daylight, methodologies for the efficient production of microalgal biorefineries need to be investigated. Algal strains that can be safely consumed as whole cells are also attractive alternatives for developing as carotenoid supplements, which can also contain other compounds with health benefits. Using such strains helps to eliminate the need for hazardous solvents for extraction and several other complicated steps. In this study, the mesophilic green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was employed to study the effects of cold stress on cell physiology and the production of pigments and storage compounds. The results showed that temperatures between 10 and 20 °C induced carotenoid and chlorophyll accumulation in the wild-type strain of C. reinhardtii. Interestingly, the increased level of carotenoids suggested that they might play a crucial role in cold stress acclimation. A temperature of 15 °C resulted in the highest carotenoid and chlorophyll productivity. At this temperature, carotenoid and chlorophyll productivity was 2 times and 1.3 times higher than at 25 °C, respectively. Subjecting a mutant defective in lutein and zeaxanthin accumulation to cold stress revealed that these two carotenoids are not essential for cold stress survival. Therefore, cold temperature could be used as a strategy to induce and increase the productivity of pigments in C. reinhardtii.

Active development of the region's economy is impossible without attracting investment. Investment activity is the most important determinant of effective social and economic development of the regional economy. It is important for potential investors to correctly assess the investment attractiveness of the region and determine the level of investment risk. The article examines the main factors of investment attractiveness of the regions of the Russian Federation. The analysis of the main methods of assessing the investment attractiveness of regions used in Russian practice is carried out. The article draws attention to the tendency of refusal from simple calculation of financial indicators towards in-depth economic analysis when assessing the investment attractiveness of regions. The conclusion is drawn about the relationship between the level of investment attractiveness and the presence of a strong regional management team capable of creating a favorable investment climate. On the example of the Kaluga region, which implements the cluster approach in the development strategy, an analysis of investment attractiveness is carried out using the rating methods of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives and the Rating Agency “Expert”. The role of the automotive, pharmaceutical and transport and logistics clusters in attracting direct investment to the region in 2017-2019 has been determined. The volume of investments in the regional economy and the change in the gross regional product of the Kaluga region for the analyzed period are analyzed. The study used a comparative method, analytical, method of economic and statistical analysis (use of statistical data). The main result of the study was to identify the reasons for the dynamics of factors of investment attractiveness. Recommendations are given for the optimal methodology for assessing investment attractiveness, in particular, on the need to provide open access to the rating results, to be adaptive, to realistically assess the regional gap and to take into account the investment and innovation activity.

Ruminant production in the UK is largely dependent on grasslands: approximately 52% of UK land is (improved) grassland and rough grazing. Herbage production from improved grassland can be over five times higher than that of indigenous swards (Davies et al., 1984) and these pastures account for the majority of ruminant (meat and milk) production from grassland the UK. They are also amenable to manipulation through the choice of species, variety and mixture of forages sown. Efficiency of production can be influenced at the levels of both the plant and the animal and by the nutrition and genetics of both. This paper examines strategies to increase production efficiency based upon optimising rumen fermentation linked to plant breeding approaches. In this way efficiency can be improved without recourse to diet manipulation with supplements, which is generally impractical at grazing. Although the rumen microbial population allows the ruminant animal to extract energy from otherwise unusable sources (i.e. fibres), the rumen is also the source of greatest inefficiencies in the use of nitrogen and energy. Degraded plant nitrogen that is not captured by the rumen microbes tends to be absorbed as ammonia, much of which is excreted as urea and contributes to ammonia and nitrous oxide emissions. Similarly, methane release from the rumen represents a waste of energy that could otherwise be used for production. Globally, these two processes result in ruminant livestock accounting for approximately a third of the methane emissions (Beauchemin et al., 2008) and half of the nitrous oxide emissions (de Klein and Eckard, 2008) from anthropogenic sources.

This study investigated the management information needs of fish farmers in Egbeda Local Government Area of Oyo State. Structured questionnaire was used to obtain data from one hundred and ten fish farmers randomly selected from four urban and seven rural wards of the area. Data obtained were analyzed using descriptive (frequency, percentage,) and inferential (chi-square and PPMC) statistics. Results show that respondents had average age of 43years, majority were male (64.8%), had primary school as highest educational level (52.4%), had 2-5 ponds, use earthen ponds (55.2%) and had 5-7 years fish farming experience. Information was most needed in hormone identification (x=2.83), fish marketing (x=2.80) and water quality management (x=2.71). Respondents indicated high cost of feed and poaching as a major challenge in fish farming. Respondents’ age (r = -0.233, p = 0.017); management practices (r = 0.209, p =0.032); number of ponds (r = -0.412, p = 0.000) were correlated with management information needs. The study therefore recommends the need for extension agencies to provide robust and timely information in the areas of need highlighted by the fish farmers in order to increase production efficiency and output of the fish farmers.Keywords: Information needs, Fish farmers, Aquaculture
