New generations of high-technology products are frequently launched before the previous model is sold out. Customers have an incentive to end the use of their old product and purchase a new one with the latest technological innovations. The unsold old models become less attractive, while the supply of remanufactured products from end-of-use products is uncertain in time, quantity, and quality. Other than adjusting the price, upgrading the returning unsold new products may be a source of remedy. This study provides profit maximization models associated with customer choice demand functions based on manufacturer, retailer, and joint supply chain scenarios. Two acquisition strategies are compared: acquire end-of-use products only and collect both end-of-use products and unsold old-style new products. The results reveal that returning the optimal quantity of overstocked new products brings about a greater benefit in all scenarios. Compared to the remanufacturer, the retailer is the optimal undertaker for collecting used products. In addition to this, slow technological development of the new-generation model causes a decrease in profit for the manufacturer. The optimal quantity of new products to be bought back decreases, because both the manufacturer and the retailer prefer to promote unsold outmoded products rather than upgrade the used products.

The author presents a vision of the mainstream vectors of global development against the backdrop of the “Grand Challenges” of the 21st century. He formulates optimal ways for Russia and Africa to interact in order to achieve the goals set by the UN Third International Conference on Financing for Development. The author proposes a RUSAFRICA project, which combines a dual goal of boosting economic, social and technological development of both Russia and Africa. The project envisages an integrated cooperative approach to mutually significant economic, technological and infrastructural requirements and capacities while prioritizing the human development aspect. Innovative approaches to mutual cooperation shale open ways to promoting Russian technologies and innovative products to new markets, generating growth of income from exports of high technology products and services with the aim to enhance Russia’s influence and competitive strengths, in accordance with the Scientific and Technological Development Strategy of the Russian Federation.

Current technological development changes the people's lifestyle becoming progressively modern. Technological development encourages the rapid digitalization that occurs in all countries. The incapability of a country to meet domestic demand for digital products that are closely related to high technology content drives the import of high technology products. On the other hand, the development of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is essential in order to support the development of domestic technology of a country due to its spillover effects. ASEAN 6 is a highly attractive for foreign investors as it has strategic location, large market share and abundant resources. This study examines the influence of FDI and innovation on imported high technology products in ASEAN 6. This research employed the panel data analysis from six ASEAN countries during the period of 2007 to 2016. The results of this study indicated that FDI and innovation have a positive effect on imports of high products technology in ASEAN 6.

Developing and launch new products for new markets is risky and doubtful, and more often leads to confusion or even to fail. In the case of “bio-engineering high technology” is not suitable use the traditional marketing because the costs of R&D and time for innovation are much higher and therefore more risky and uncertain. For high technology in general, is more appropriate employ the event known as dual-market(ing). This phenomenon analyze the early phase cycle of the product and the later phase cycle of the product like a dual episode. This aspect shows the early market and the late market that adopt very different ways in the context. Bio-engineering high technology, with a strong component of technological knowledge and innovation, reference not to an industry, but rather a set of applications of intricate characteristics, which represents a particular challenge and risk. For this reason, through the comprehension of a dual market(ing) are essential to maximize the success in early and later cycle life of bio-engineering high technology products.

The paper presents the concept, structure and features ofITMOUniversity’s independently established educational standard of a new generation. The standard has been developed on the basis of Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education 3++, professional and international standards of engineering education, foresight forecasts of world scientific and technological development. The harmonious intellectual, cultural and moral development, as well as the formation of a professionally competitive personality is ensured by the implementation in the educational programs of the ITMO Code. TheITMOUniversityhas created mechanisms for the formation of actual requirements for the preparation of competitive professionals demanded at an international level. The authors propose the design and implementation system of the educational programs based on integration of the fundamental classical technical education, enhanced development of the universal, common and professional competencies, and extended implementation of the modern theoretical and applied practice-oriented researches, which are supported an active participation of industrial companies and research organizations in educational activities. An interdisciplinary content of educational programs together with orientation to individualization of education and introduction of advanced educational technologies including design, digital, network etc. provides a stable technology platform to achieve the standard requirements for learning outcomes.

Scientific-technological development, along with initiating integrative forces that offer improvement of the quality of human life, concurrently created prerequisites for individuals to exploit certain innovations for performing criminal activities. Modern criminals wander through electronic networks, and assisted by high technology, perform a variety of criminal acts and ?launder? large sums of money. Computer forensics is a technological, systemic control of the computer system and its content for the purpose of gathering evidence of a criminal act or other abuse that it has been used for. Digital forensics requires particular expertise that goes beyond traditional data collection, as well as employment of techniques available to the final user or system support personnel. In this context, this article examines principles, methods and procedures in mobile device investigation, which nowadays represent a multifunctional, powerful computer weapon, and considers the necessity to update concrete procedures in accordance with the development and growth of IT.
