The article is devoted to the study of the current state and prerequisites for the development of management consulting as a component of professional, scientific and technical activities of Ukraine. The essence and functions of professional management consulting in the structure of NACE­2010 are revealed. According to static data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the dynamics and structure of development of the field of professional, scientific and technical activities of Ukraine during 2012–2020 were studied. The slowdown in economic growth in 2020 has been revealed in both the industry as a whole and management consulting services caused by the economic crisis caused by the global COVID­19 pandemic. According to the structure of busi-ness entities of the studied industry, there are business entities with the status of individual entrepreneurs. Difficulties have been identified in determining the importance of management consulting in the national economy, due to the lack of statistical infor-mation on the parameters and performance of management consultants. A clear synchronization in the dynamics of the studied market parameters of the development of the industry is a component of professional, scientific and technical activities of Ukraine and management consulting. The dialectical system connection of the development of the field of professional, scientific and technical activity and the market of management consulting services is proved. Modern management consulting is revealed as a leading infrastructural institute of economy, where intellectual products are created, which contribute to the qualitative improve-ment of the activity of socio­economic subjects at the micro and macro level. The innovative orientation of the national economy as a prerequisite for the spread and effective development of management consulting in Ukraine is substantiated. Stimulating and disincentive factors for the development of management consulting in the national economy are argued. Prospects for the development of management consulting in the national economy under conditions of stabilization, the formation of a favorable foreign economic environment, as well as the Government's actions to continue the implementation of measures to mitigate the negative effects of the COVID­19 pandemic.Keywords: management consulting, professional, scientific and technical activity, consultant, statistical information, factors, development.

Salah satu kekuatan ekonomi nasional yang perlu ditingkatkan produktivitas dan efisiensinya adalah BUMN dikarenakan kinerja BUMN yang dinilai belum memuaskan dan masih terdapatnya birokrasi yang menyebabkan profesionalisme BUMN menjadi rendah. Privatisasi yang dilakukan sebagai upaya meningkatkan efisiensi BUMN menyebabkan berkurangnya kontrol dan proteksi negara terhadap badan-badan usaha yang menyentuh sektor publik. Tulisan ini memberikan analisis terhadap pelaksanaan privatisasi BUMN di Indonesia dan penerapan prinsip konstitusi ekonomi dalam kebijakan privatisasi BUMN di Indonesia. Dari analisis yang ada, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa privatisasi menjadi salah satu kebijakan yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah untuk menyelesaikan masalah strategis pada BUMN yang dinilai dari kinerja keuangan dan kinerja non keuangan berupa terwujudnya manajemen yang profesional dan transparan sesuai prinsip tata kelola perusahaan yang baik. Pemaknaan terhadap hak menguasai negara adalah negara melakukan pengaturan, pengurusan dan pengolahan, serta pengawasan sehingga negara dapat menyerahkan pengelolaannya pada pihak swasta dengan pengawasan pemerintah.One of the strengths of the national economy which need to be improved is state-owned enterprises because its performances are rated unsatisfactory and still have a bureaucracy that led to its professionalism below. Privatization as an effort to improve the efficiency of state-owned enterprises reduced the state control and protection against business entities in public sector. This paper provided an analysis of the implementation of the privatization of state-owned enterprises and the application of economic constitutional principles in the privatization of state-owned enterprises in Indonesia. The writer concluded that privatization has become the policy to solve strategic problems of state-owned enterprises assessed by financial performance and non-financial performance is realized by professional management and transparent according to the principles of good corporate governance. Meanings of the right of the state to control are the state make the arrangement, processing, and supervision so that the state can submit the management to the private with government supervision.

Abstract. The positive effects of goal setting on motivation and performance are among the most established findings of industrial–organizational psychology. Accordingly, goal setting is a common management technique. Lately, however, potential negative effects of goal-setting, for example, on unethical behavior, are increasingly being discussed. This research replicates and extends a laboratory experiment conducted in the United States. In one of three goal conditions (do-your-best goals, consistently high goals, increasingly high goals), 101 participants worked on a search task in five rounds. Half of them (transparency yes/no) were informed at the outset about goal development. We did not find the expected effects on unethical behavior but medium-to-large effects on subjective variables: Perceived fairness of goals and goal commitment were least favorable in the increasing-goal condition, particularly in later goal rounds. Results indicate that when designing goal-setting interventions, organizations may consider potential undesirable long-term effects.

Abstract While the Antarctic Treaty System intended to keep Antarctica an area of international cooperation and science free from militarisation and international conflict, the region has not been completely shielded from global power transitions, such as decolonisation and the end of the Cold War. Presently, emerging countries from Asia are increasingly willing to invest in polar infrastructure and science on the back of their growing influence in world politics. South Korea has also invested heavily in its Antarctic infrastructure and capabilities recently and has been identified as an actor with economic and political interests that are potentially challenging for the existing Antarctic order. This article first assesses the extent and performance of the growing bilateral cooperation between South Korea and one of its closest partners, New Zealand, a country with strong vested interests in the status quo order. How did the cooperation develop between these two actors with ostensibly diverging interests? This article finds that what may have been a friction–laden relationship, actually developed into a win-win partnership for both countries. The article then moves on to offer an explanation for how this productive relationship was made possible by utilising a mutual socialisation approach that explores socio-structural processes around status accommodation.

The elevation of ambient temperature beyond the thermoneutral zone leads to heat stress, which is a growing health and welfare issue for homeothermic animals aiming to maintain relatively constant reproducibility and survivability. Particularly, global warming over the past decades has resulted in more hot days with more intense, frequent, and long-lasting heat waves, resulting in a global surge in animals suffering from heat stress. Heat stress causes pathophysiological changes in animals, increasing stress sensitivity and immunosuppression, consequently leading to increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut) and related neuroinflammation. Probiotics, as well as prebiotics and synbiotics, have been used to prevent or reduce stress-induced negative effects on physiological and behavioral homeostasis in humans and various animals. The current data indicate dietary supplementation with a Bacillus subtilis-based probiotic has similar functions in poultry. This review highlights the recent findings on the effects of the probiotic Bacillus subtilis on skeletal health of broiler chickens exposed to heat stress. It provides insights to aid in the development of practical strategies for improving health and performance in poultry.

What do growth-oriented business models look like? While several economic theories, such as the theory of the firm, are based on the assumption that firms aim to maximise their profits, past research has shown that growth intention is heterogeneous among firms and that many business owners prefer to keep their firm at a size that they can manage with few resources. This paper explores the relationship of growth intention and business models, based on a sample of 135 German ICT businesses. Following an exploratory approach, Mann–Whitney U tests are applied to analyse how different business model designs correspond with different levels of growth intention. The results indicate that growth intention relates to business owners’ decisions regarding the provision of consulting services, the level of standardisation in offered products and services, the choice of addressed markets, the implementation of competitive strategies based on cost efficiency and of revenue streams based on one-time- and performance-based payments. Furthermore, the results show that growth oriented firms are no more likely than non-growth oriented firms to adapt their business models dynamically to changed internal or external conditions.
