There is no generally accepted definition of a territory’s mission either in Russia or abroad. So is it worth including a mission in the strategy of socio-economic development of a territory and what definition of the mission is better to choose? To answer these questions, a content analysis of Russian and foreign definitions of the territory's mission has been carried out, from which common units of meaning were identified. It was established that a number of semantic units in definitions of the territory's mission and the mission of organization coincide. However, from the point of view of the mission statement, there are a number of significant differences between a territory and an organization, which makes some definitions of the territory’s mission hardly applicable in practice. Conclusion is made: it is better to define the territory's mission through its role in the external environment, functions and unique features of the territory. The article examines advantages and disadvantages of alternative options: not to develop a mission at all or to develop it in a purely formal way. Practical recommendations on developing a territory mission, examples from Russian and foreign experience are given.

The article considers the place and role of small enterprises in the economic system, their impact on socio-economic development based on the functions that small business entities implement. The aim of the research is to study the preconditions for the competitiveness of small enterprises in the modern economy, to determine the advantages and disadvantages of small businesses taking into account the characteristics of the external environment. The authors examined the main trends in the development of the world economy, which are factors influencing the functioning of small enterprises, namely the participation of small businesses in global competition, the complexity of management systems of small enterprises, the general informatization of the economy, the emergence of highly specialized market niches, etc. It is proved that the competitiveness of small businesses is based on the negative “economies of scale” and relative competitive advantages in ensuring adaptation to changes in the business environment, customer focus, and low transaction costs. The basic economic, technological and social factors affecting the competitiveness of small businesses are identified.  The advantages and disadvantages of small enterprises in Ukraine are formulated. As one of the main disadvantages, the shortage of various resources that small enterprises encounter is highlighted, this is why it is effective cooperation with external contractors to overcome resource constraints that is considered as the main factor influencing the results of operations. The competitiveness of a small enterprise is largely determined by its competencies in interaction with the subjects of the external environment. To study the trends and prospects for the development of small enterprises in Ukraine, the authors analyzed the main indicators of the activities of business entities using official statistical information. The share provided by small enterprises in the results of socio-economic development of the country is calculated.  Conclusions are made regarding the place and role of small enterprises, their development trends, problems are identified that require attention from the state, and further scientific and practical solutions.

It was determined that the strategic planning of the socio-economic development of the region is a systematic ongoing process in order to adapt the territory to constantly changing market conditions, becoming the dominant function of managing the social and economic development of the region. It has been proven that strategic diagnostics helps to assess the effectiveness of a region's strategy, to understand its strategic position in each of the areas of activity, to assess strong and weak signals from the internal and external environment. It was found that in its pure form, basic strategies are not developed or implemented. On their basis, in the regions, as a rule, strategies focused on the internal environment are developed and implemented. A model of component analysis of the socio-economic and competitive state of the region has been developed. Studies have shown that socio-economic processes in the region are developing under the influence of simultaneously acting, but divergent external and internal factors. In conditions of increasing instability of the external environment, the influence of external factors becomes predominant in relation to internal factors. In the system of strategic planning, the definition of criteria for regional development is the result of the interaction of economic entities in the region. It is determined that an effective mechanism for coordinating the economic interests of participants in socio-economic processes is a matrix model of positioning the area of interest and responsibility of regional governments, businesses and the public. It is proved that the results of strategic diagnostics are the basis for the adoption of strategic measures by the regional authorities. It was determined that the formed dynamics of changes in the development of the studied region in comparison with the "standard" will characterize the effectiveness of regional governance over a period of time. A methodical approach to the diagnosis of socio-economic development has been developed, which can also be used for individual territories within a particular region of Ukraine.

Sport tourism has experienced considerable growth in the last decades, either from the sport events perspective or considering an active sport tourism approach. Therefore, some emergent market niches like surf tourism have been developed in numerous coastal destinations to attract sustainability-sensitive tourists due to the ongoing environmental challenges and the socio-economic crisis. Cape Town is positioned in a prominent place in terms of competitiveness, with a considerable variety of beaches and surf spots facing multiple issues. The aim of this study is to try to identify the most competitive beaches and subdistricts in terms of sustainability and to suggest criteria for surf-tourism-related indicators to obtain an overview about this space, using weighting indicators, and applying geography and political economy lenses. The results reveal that Strand, Table View, and Surfers’ Corner are the most competitive beaches. Additionally, beaches located in some underprivileged areas such as Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha are potentially interesting from a socio-economic development point of view, although they show a lack of accommodation infrastructures. These results seem to indicate that those areas should be closely monitored, and destination managers should focus their attention and finance there to obtain a more sustainable surf tourism development.

The article considers approaches to determining the importance of human capital for the socio-economic development of the territories of the Russian Federation, as well as determining its place in the structure of the territorial socio-economic potential. The article shows that human capital is the basis for the formation of the regional economic system and serves as the basis for the implementation of the regional socio-economic potential. The authors define human capital as a key socio-economic and productive factor in the development of not only the modern economy, but also modern society. Regional human capital is defined as a set of human resources with their knowledge, abilities, skills, etc., formed both within the framework of individual human capital and within the framework of corporate human capital, localized on the territory of the region and able to provide reproduction processes within the regional socio-economic system. The article shows that the regional human capital in the structure of the socio-economic potential of the region has both quantitative (population size, including population migration; the gender and age composition of the population of the region, etc.), and the quality characteristics (the level of education and qualifications of the population of the region, the effectiveness of the use of human capital, etc.), reflect the importance of human capital in the state’s program documents. The article proposes the author’s vision of human capital as a resource for the socio-economic development of the region and proves that from the point of view of the realization of the socioeconomic potential of the region, the human resources of a particular region should be considered by regional authorities and management not only as a key resource that ensures the socio-economic development of the region, but also as a resource that imposes certain requirements necessary for the direct realization of human capital (potential).

In the process of data mining, techniques used, and results gathered, became ethically or even legally questionable due to the concern of the violation of individuals’ privacy when specific information is obtained, manipulated, and disseminated by other entities without an individual’s knowledge or consent. In other words, it is not the concern of what data is being mined, but more so regarding who is the miner of these data. This chapter is based on a review of the existing studies, which shows that not enough attention has been paid to the study of the “miner,” as well as the ethical and legal qualifications of the miner, from the perspectives of organizational development practitioners (OD) and organizational psychologists (OP) in approaching for certifying or licensing. During the review, several cases are being included to justify the certifying or licensing approach, thus upholding ethical data mining, especially in relation to the socio-economic development of a community, or county. This research concludes with a few practical recommendations for both data miner(s) and entities that are involved with data mining.

The present paper is aimed both at analyzing how Amartya Sen’s economic and moral thought is influenced by Adam Smith’s works and at offering a perspective on global market which could be investigated through quantitative analyses. In order to achievethis purpose, the authors provide a potential definition of globalization which arises not from empirical evidences but from the analysis of the links existing betwee Adam Smith’s thought and Amartya Sen’s one. Globalization is here considered firstas a global division of labour, second as a global market where the products generated by the division of labour are exchanged, and third as a complex socio-economic phenomenon which generates positive outcomes under two conditions: on one hand, every agent has to respect the rules coming from a common ethic, and, on the otherhand, countries and International Organizations have to guarantee that every agent respects national and international laws. Therefore, the perspective on globalization here presented shows how global market could be a potential instrument to promote socio-economic development.
