Small and medium-sized businesses in most countries are a priority part of the economy, favorably affecting the level of employment, filling as the State so the local budgets. The development of this form of entrepreneurial activity is complicated by a number of problems, including: a high degree of uncertainty and risks, fluctuations in demand, lack of financial instruments for the formation of start-up capital, administrative barriers, corruption, etc. The presence of problems causes the relevance of searching for ways of development, one of which is the formation of optimal models of partnerships to maximize competitive advantages, which comprises the purpose of the article. The information base of the research is the legislative framework of a number of countries, international regulations, data of international scientific platforms, official statistics. To achieve the article’s purpose, methods of scientific cognition were used: theoretical generalization, empirical analysis, abstraction, expert evaluation, visualization. The publication analyzes the most significant problems inherent in small and medium-sized businesses, identifies the prerequisites for their further development. The need to develop scientific and applied approaches to the formation of an optimal model of partnerships based on achieving competitive advantages is substantiated. Stages of this process have been formed, including: methodological approach to determining the partners based on the allocation and assessment of competitive advantages that are created in the process of partnership implementation; approach to choosing the most optimal model of partnerships, based on the construction of a matrix of model compliance with the results created by it; model of the process of monitoring the functionality of partnership relations. Further development of the topic will be carried out in the direction of forming a scientific and methodological approach to determining the synergistic effect that may arise as a result of the integration of small and medium-sized enterprises.

Abstract. Taking into account global development trends, integration and globalization processes, encourage the search for and further development of new products, services and management mechanisms. The economic-mathematical model of optimization of parameters of type NBIC-direction of competitive advantages is developed. The model is formed by the criterion of maximizing  the net discounted cashflow. Based on the developed scientific and methodological approach, 4 types of NBIC-direction of competitive advantages of telecommunication enterprises are proposed, which are based on a combination of levels of innovative activity of the enterprise (from low to high) and complementarity of cashflow management (from low to high). As a result, the types of NBIC-direction of competitive advantages of the enterprise are proposed: adaptive-passive, adaptive-active, object-oriented; foresight-progressive. Complementary cashflow management involves a balanced distribution of cashflows by certain NBIC-components, namely: Nano-components (application of Nano-development stop rovide high-speed telecommunications), Bio-components (introduction of artificial intelligence in organizational culture, implementation of self-organization in the enterprise), Info-components (introduction of innovative standards of telecommunication activity, information software in business process management), Cogno-components (cognitive flexibility of top and middle managers, ability of personnel to complementarity, development of knowledge management system at enterprise, introduction of system of continuous training of all employees links). Thus, the combined use of these components provides an increase in cashflows and forms a modern platform for breakthrough competitive development of enterprises. Keywords: management, competitive advantage, cashflow, innovation, complementarity. JEL Classification B26,  D61 Formulas: 14; fig.: 3; tabl.: 2; bibl.: 15.

AbstractSchool prayer represents a curiosity of Reagan era politics. Reagan and the social conservative movement secured numerous successes in accommodating religious practice and faith in the public sphere. Yet, when it came to restoring voluntary school prayer, conservatives never succeeded in securing the judicial victory that they sought despite conditions that seemingly favored change. Herein, we attempt to reconcile Reagan era successes with Reagan era failures by exploring Reagan's entrepreneurial activity to affect both the demand (i.e., judges) and supply (i.e., litigants) side of legal change. Identifying Reagan's entrepreneurial activities in his attempt to alter national social policy reveals the resilience of legal institutions to presidential and partisan regimes. Reagan's efforts to change national school prayer policy gained some measure of legislative success by securing the Equal Access Act but it failed to garner a change in school prayer jurisprudence. We conclude by noting that the difficulty of influencing both the demand and supply side of legal change in a timely manner and its implication for reconstructing policy through the courts.

To avoid use errors when handling medical equipment, it is important to develop products with a high degree of usability. This can be achieved by performing usability evaluations in the product development process to detect and mitigate potential usability problems. A commonly used method is cognitive walkthrough (CW), but this method shows three weaknesses: poor high-level perspective, insufficient categorisation of detected usability problems, and difficulties in overviewing the analytical results. This paper presents a further development of CW with the aim of overcoming its weaknesses. The new method is called enhanced cognitive walkthrough (ECW). ECW is a proactive analytical method for analysis of potential usability problems. The ECW method has been employed to evaluate user interface designs of medical equipment such as home-care ventilators, infusion pumps, dialysis machines, and insulin pumps. The method has proved capable of identifying several potential use problems in designs.

The problems of ensuring effective management and forming competitiveness of industrial enter-prises are relevant regardless of the conditions for conducting business activities. The fact is that the competitiveness of business structures in modern conditions is not ensured by simply owning factors of production (labor, capital, land), and even entrepreneurial talent is not currently a source of obtaining stable or exclusive competitive advantages. In order to obtain sustainable or exclusive competitive advantages that constitute strategic competitiveness, the business structure needs to have an intellectual (educational) component of development, including the production and implementation of innovations, as well as readiness for changes. Subject of research. On the basis of innovative foresight, ensuring the competitiveness of business structures of the production industry is a set of organizational, managerial and economic relations that arise in the process of formation. Purpose and objectives of the study. Development of proposals to improve the competitiveness of business structures based on innovative foresight. A number of theoretical, methodological and practical issues related to the formation and implementation of a strategy for managing the innovative development of entrepreneurial structures based on innovative foresight remain insufficiently studied and require further development of rules for its creation and functioning. At the same time, despite a detailed description of the problems of strategic management of innovative deve-lopment of business structures, the research of foreign scientists was carried out in relation to the relatively stable conditions of the economy of developed countries, the practical application of the mechanisms proposed by them in the conditions of the Kazakh economy requires mandatory revision, taking into account the specifics of the modern economy and industry.
