The article is devoted to the formation of analytical support for strategic monitoring of the business reputation of water supply and sewerage companies. It is established that the current management models and methods, in particular analysis, control, planning, forecasting in modern business conditions are not able to respond quickly and adequately to changes in the internal and external environment of the enterprise. The imperfection of the systems of collecting, processing, and systematization of financial information does not allow to fully use the above methods and techniques, as well as to formulate objective conclusions. Based on the systematization of evaluation methods, the indicators of the level of business reputation (reputation indices) of the surveyed enterprises are calculated and interpreted. It is proved that the system of information-analytical support allows to form the general list of strategies of the enterprise taking into account its features – adaptation to the environment or formation of influence on it. A system of management decisions is proposed, which contains two blocks. The information-analytical block identifies the main subjects of interaction for each parameter of business reputation, identifies the available labor and financial resources to implement measures to improve business reputation. If these conditions are met, the implemented measures are implemented, if not – there is a return to the initial stage. Next, the effectiveness of the proposed measures is analyzed. If measures to improve business reputation have achieved their goal, those responsible for their implementation are selected. The implementation of measures to increase the level of business reputation of water supply and sewerage companies is also constantly monitored. If the selected measures are not effective enough or not effective at all, they direct the adjustment by changing the input data. Then the whole process is repeated again, starting from the first stage, but taking into account the adjustments. The second block contains the overall effect of the implementation of the measures proposed in the first block for certain groups of stakeholders. It is proved that taking into account the specifics of the water supply and sewerage companies, it should be noted that increasing the area of reputable radar will not lead to an immediate increase in profitability. However, the management of business reputation will achieve some stabilization through the formation of trusting and mutually beneficial relationships with stakeholder groups. Flexibility of interaction and feedback contribute to the achievement of the company's strategy. As a result of the study, a strategic monitoring of the business reputation of water supply and sewerage companies is proposed, the implementation of which will increase the importance of services provided, attract more qualified employees of all levels, – private partnerships, plan payments, effectively manage accounts payable and increase resilience to adverse impacts and crises.

AbstractWe established a stochastic individual-based model and simulated the whole process of occurrence, development, and control of the coronavirus disease epidemic and the infectors and patients leaving Hubei Province before the traffic was closed in China. Additionally, the basic reproduction number (R0) and number of infectors and patients who left Hubei were estimated using the coordinate descent algorithm. The median R0 at the initial stage of the epidemic was 4.97 (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.82–5.17). Before the traffic lockdown was implemented in Hubei, 2000 (95% CI 1982–2030) infectors and patients had left Hubei and traveled throughout the country. The model estimated that if the government had taken prevention and control measures 1 day later, the cumulative number of laboratory-confirmed patients in the whole country would have increased by 32.1%. If the lockdown of Hubei was imposed 1 day in advance, the cumulative number of laboratory-confirmed patients in other provinces would have decreased by 7.7%. The stochastic model could fit the officially issued data well and simulate the evolution process of the epidemic. The intervention measurements nationwide have effectively curbed the human-to-human transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

Цифровые технологии существенно влияют на мировой рынок, внося коррективы в расстановку сил на нем. Используемые ранее подходы к управлению бизнес-процессами становятся не актуальными в современных условиях. Без цифровизации наукоемкие производства будут не способны выдержать конкурентную борьбу, и вынуждены будут уйти с рынка. В то же время современные условия хозяйствования диктуют необходимость постоянного совершенствования бизнес-процессов наукоемких предприятий, их оптимизации. Данные принципы являются основой концепции бережливое производство, реализация которых становится более эффективной при условии использования цифровых технологий. В статье рассмотрены вопросы интеграции концепции бережливое производство и цифровых технологий на наукоемких предприятиях. Показан пример успешной реализации принципов данной концепции с использованием цифровых подходов к оптимизации бизнес-процессов наукоемкого производства. В современных условиях важнейшим активом любого предприятия, в том числе и наукоемкого производства, являются данные. Реализация принципов бережливого производства требует обработки значительного объема информации. Цифровые технологии позволяют анализировать информационные потоки в режиме реального времени, моделировать бизнес-процессы и тем самым, способствуют более качественному и оперативному принятию решений по оптимизации бизнес-процессов наукоемких производств. Только объединив принципы концепции бережливое производство и возможности, которые дает цифровизация, наукоемкие предприятия смогут не просто удержать свои конкурентные позиции на рынке, но и перейти на более качественный уровень своего развития. Digital technologies significantly affect the global market, making adjustments to the balance of power in it. Previously used approaches to business process management are no longer relevant in modern conditions. Without digitalization, high-tech industries will not be able to withstand competition and will be forced to leave the market. At the same time, modern business conditions dictate the need to constantly improve the business processes of high-tech enterprises and optimize them. These principles are the basis of the concept of lean manufacturing, the implementation of which becomes more effective when using digital technologies. The article deals with the integration of the concept of lean manufacturing and digital technologies in high-tech enterprises. An example of successful implementation of the principles of this concept using digital approaches to optimizing business processes in high-tech production is shown.

Introduction. The current stage of functioning of domestic business structures shows the exacerbation of the deficit of different types of resources for their activities. Today the solvency of a large number of businesses is particularly critical. In such circumstances, there is a need to find progressive and effective management tools and technologies that will provide comprehensive, accurate and timely information about the cash state of the enterprises in order to make adequate management decisions. In view of all the above, it can be argued that the diagnosis of cash flows of the enterprise is a necessary component of management in modern business conditions. The purpose of the paper is to develop a unified and logically sound sequence of diagnosing cash flows of the enterprise. Results. The results of the conducted research allowed to offer a unified sequence of diagnosing cash flows at the enterprise, which is based on the following stages: formation of information base for diagnosing cash flows; determining cash flows by type; estimating cash flows based on calculating indicators of uniformity, synchronicity, balance, liquidity, sufficiency; monitoring the diagnosis of cash flows and finding possible causes of deficiencies; development of recommendations to eliminate the shortcomings of diagnosing cash flows of the enterprise. It has been established that a number of principles should be taken into account when selecting diagnostic indicators, namely: purposefulness, dynamism, complexity, representativeness, efficiency, functionality, avoidance of mutual exclusion, interconnection. The main sources of information for diagnosing cash flows of the enterprise are various forms of financial and management statements, accounts, agreements and more. Conclusions. The main advantages of the developed sequence of diagnosing cash flows at the enterprise is that it allows to evaluate the most representative indicators that determine the uniformity, synchronicity, balance, liquidity, cash flow adequacy and more. Based on the calculations, you can diagnose the state of cash flows and, if necessary, develop effective measures to eliminate identified discrepancies.

In modern business conditions, human resources have become the most important resource of enterprises, and many authors point out that this is especially true for SMEs, in which, due to their specificity, human resources create a competitive advantage of the company and affect its survival and development. SMEs are faced with a strong, global competition of large enterprises and in order to survive and grow in the market, they must find specific strengths within themselves, develop and use them. Creativity is one of the most powerful tools that enable SMEs competitiveness, survival and development in the market. The basic objective of this research is to determine whether there is a correlation between recruitment and selection of human resources and organizational creativity in SMEs. The survey was conducted in SMEs in the Federation of B&H in 2019. An original questionnaire was created for the research, which collected the opinion of top managers on the recruitment and selection of human resources and organizational creativity in small and medium-sized enterprises. Data have been analysed using IBM SPSS Statistic 25.0. From the statistical procedures, the following were used: Shapiro-Wilk's test, Pearson's coefficient of correlation, Mann-Whitney U test and t-test for independent samples. The results of the survey showed that there is a correlation between the recruitment and selection of human resources and organizational creativity in SMEs and that there are differences in the correlation between the recruitment and selection of human resources and organizational creativity in the enterprises in terms of their size.

In the era of digital devices, many industries still use traditional methods of pen and paper to maintain records. One such industry is the diesel generator industry where these generators are operated without any proper supervision. The current management of these generator vans is highly unorganized. This causes a lot of miscommunication between the owners and the customers. The idea focuses on monitoring the different parameters of a diesel generator using internet-connected sensors. Parameters such as fuel consumption, AC power ON time, RPM of the turbine, and temperature are measured in real time. The system helps the owners to monitor their generators vans through one mobile application rather than depending on the on-site operators. Both the owners and customers can see how much power was consumed and how their bill was generated. Rather than using pen and paper to maintain records in the current method, the new system completely transforms the old methods into a highly digitalized modern business.

The costs of the organization are the assets of the organization, including material values, labor re-sources, which transfer their value to finished products, work, services. In modern economic conditions of economic activity of an economic entity, the simple assignment of costs to the cost of production has lost its significance. This is due to the fact that it is necessary to satisfy the request of the end consumer through a price offer for the product, as well as the request of the state through the payment of taxes to the treasury. Consequently, management is required to implement measures to manage the costs of an economic entity. This article discusses the question of what methods can be used to implement cost management, and in addition, it presents a basic conceptual model for managing production processes of an economic entity and a model of a production cost management system using the example of the coal industry.

Evaporation-induced water and solute coupled transport is a significant cause for soil salinization that leads to a series of engineering and environmental problems. In the artificial evaporation environment, including relative humidity, atmospheric temperature, atmospheric pressure, radiation intensity, and wind speed, evaporation of loess columns with sodium sulfate, temperature profile, and water and solute transport in closed and open systems were investigated. In the former case, a range of stability was noted in the lower part of the column where the heat, water, and solute coupled transport only exhibited a weak response to a specified evaporation environment. As the environment was more favorable for evaporation, or at a higher gradient of temperature, this range extended downwards, while above this range the heat, water, and salt profiles in the evaporation-affected domain changed dramatically, characterized by a basic law that solutes moved with water and were then retained with water desalinated. Evidences were found from the profiles that the water contents in the evaporation-affected range decreased but the salt contents increased, especially in the surface. In an open system, by contrast, there was little difference in temperature but greater in water and salt profiles. Three stages were found from the supply of external water during evaporation. In the initial stage, the higher gradient formed between the initial moisture state and the preset external water level led to a rapid supply of external water. As the evaporation proceeded, a relatively stable water profile was reached as the intensity of water supply approached to that of evaporation, accompanied by a continual migration of solutes towards the surface. Due to the accumulation of precipitated salts, water transport was slowed down, and the intensity of water supply decreased. The changes in soil suction may account for the above behavior.

In modern business conditions, human resources are the most valuable resource that enables the realization and maintenance of the competitive advantage of the organization. Given this statement, it is not surprising why in recent decades in professional and academic circles there is a growing interest in researching issues of how to improve, retain and motivate employees to invest their maximum efforts in achieving organizational goals. As companies are both capital and labor intensive, it is easy to come to the conclusion that depending on the degree of motivation and commitment of employees to the realization of organizational goals, the realization of the above-mentioned imperative also depends on it. In other words, the degree to which employees identify with their organization depends on how motivated they will be to achieve its goals and to participate in improving its efficiency. This means that organizational commitment is becoming one of the key determinants of the success of 21st century organizations. Generally speaking, job satisfaction is an attitude that manifests in the workplace as individual behavior of the employee and can have an impact on the organization and organizational behavior. Job satisfaction encourages employees to increase performance and commitment to the organization, while reducing absenteeism and increasing interest in the profession, and it is of immeasurable importance to pay attention to the cause-and-effect relationship of job satisfaction and organizational commitment.

Introduction. Modern business conditions are characterized by variability and instability, which necessitates the introduction of adaptive management in all areas - production, finance, personnel. Adaptive personnel management involves adaptation to external business conditions, needs and requirements of the employer and employee. Therefore, when managing the personnel of construction companies, it is necessary to take into account both the state of the labor market and current trends in employment, which will determine the management decisions. Methods. Official statistics were used in the study; the method of time series was applied, the structure analysis and the comparative analysis of the indicators used in the field of work were carried out; cluster analysis of the regions of Ukraine in order to determine a homogeneous population in terms of construction volume / number of people employed in construction. Results. It is determined that construction significantly affects the GDP and labor market of Europe and Ukraine, has a regional specificity of dependence "volume of construction / number of employees in construction", imbalance in the need / supply of workers in both quantitative and qualitative characteristics. Discussion. Further research is planned to study the distribution of construction companies by their size, to explore the specifics of the organizational structure and management styles, the necessary competencies of staff in terms of the employer and the needs of potential employees. Keywords: management, personnel, construction, analysis, cluster, enterprise.
