Each student completed a self-reported test to collect socio-demographic data and th Internet Addiction Test (IAT) from K. Young to assess the risk of Internet Addiction. The Mann-Whitney test for quantitative variables was used for statistical analysis. Results: 522 students were enrolled, 243 students from online teaching and 279 from traditional teaching schools. Internet Addiction was observed in 1,16% of the total sample, while 53.83% of subjects was at risk of development Internet Addiction. No significant difference was found between the two different types of teaching, nor considering gender. Considering the amount of time spent on the web in portion of the sample at risk of developing Internet Addiction, the Traditional Teaching group spent between 4 and 7 hours a day on the Web, while the Online Teaching group between 1 to 3 hours/daily.

Though there have been works highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of online learning, no study focused on university-level economics students. None of the studies explored students' opinions about improving the quality and effectiveness of online classes. Many used questionable samples, closed-ended questions, and all those researches were carried out at the beginning of online classes. In this paper, we overcome these limitations of earlier studies. Using a convenience sampling technique and open-ended questions, we collect data from 154 university-level economics students after being exposed to the online class for a year. Some advantages of online classes are: students can do classes from home without being exposed to health risks, easily accessible, flexible class schedule, students remained connected with the study, it saves costs, reduce the likelihood of semester loss, easy to understand, less stressful, and learning new technologies. Major problems from students' perspectives include network problems, difficulties in understanding the topic, unsuitable for mathematical courses, concentration problem, class not interactive, financial constraint, adverse health impacts, device issues, power outages, unfamiliarity with digital technology, internet problem, and unfixed class-schedule. Disadvantages outnumbered advantages. Students made several suggestions to improve the quality and effectiveness of online classes. Some of the vital suggestions are: using state-of-the-art digital tools, recording and uploading lectures, resolving internet issues, holding classes regularly, higher efforts to make the topics easier, resolving network issues, lowering class duration, institutional support, implementing a fixed class schedule, and introducing online evaluation system.

The activities of modern enterprises are affected by both new opportunities and challenges. An example of the challenges for global business was the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and related quarantine restrictions. The negative macroeconomic and microeconomic consequences of the pandemic significantly worsened the financial and economic situation of enterprises, led to changes in consumer behavior. Businesses are forced to look for tools to stimulate economic development and increase competitiveness. The development of scientific and technological progress, digitalization make available the use of Internet technologies, in particular in the field of marketing. In Ukraine, as well as around the world, Internet marketing is becoming widespread. At the same time, the possibilities of such an innovation as social media marketing have not yet been properly implemented. Social networks have been created as a tool of entertainment; have become a powerful tool for marketing. They play an important role in establishing business relationships with customers. Social media in today's environment is more popular than traditional media. The use of SMM accelerates the sale of products and services, reduces marketing costs and better implementation of all marketing processes. Social networks allow you to quickly find people depending on interests, age and other parameters, create groups and inform potential consumers about various new products. Advertising on social networks is usually not as intrusive as on other resources and is targeted to a target audience, which is selected by a large number of parameters. To confirm the thesis that SMM is an important tool for the competitiveness of the enterprise in today's challenges, a study was conducted on the basis of the cheese brand - TM "Laguna" of the company "Food Production Ukraine". Analysis of the results of the study showed that "Laguna" in the eyes of consumers is associated with an inexpensive product of relatively low quality, with a "copy" of well-known global brands and loses to them in sophistication. . Given the limited use of offline marketing in quarantine, it was decided to develop a set of actions to influence the consumer through Internet resources. Improvements in SMM have ensured that people are sympathetic to the manufacturer and the product itself.
