Crisis (crisis) are difficult situations that threaten the high-level goals and business methods of an organization, or put the organization's existence in a dangerous situation, require quick decisions, and neutralize problem prevention systems. In other words, crisis can be defined as an unexpected situation or events that have an unexpected outcome (Sikich, 2002). Crises are a turning point for businesses by enabling organizations to gain new experiences and acquire new knowledge, and to turn this situation into an opportunity (Demirtaş, 2000). The ability of organizations to achieve their goals and to maintain their existence depends on their ability to adapt to their environment and to regulate their business skills depending on the expectations of the environment. The constantly changing environment creates major problems for businesses that cannot adapt to these changes and cannot balance. The success of organizations depends to a large extent on their ability to recognize and assess these dangers beforehand. Organizations can face many threats that can come from within the business or from the business environment. Because of its negative effects, organization managers' ability to cope with these threats is of great importance for businesses (Can, 2002). Organization managers' leadership, experience, knowledge and skills are most needed in times of crisis. Because the most important responsibility of a leader manager is to successfully prevent the crisis that occurs in the organization. Managers exist to manage unexpected conditions and solve problems in organizations. For this reason, administratorship is the problem management process in organizations. The manager is the person who prevents this problem. Therefore, leading managers appear and show themselves especially in times of crisis (Peker & Ayturk, 2000). In this study, the characteristics of the crisis in organizations, the reasons for the emergence of the crisis and the crisis management processes in organizations are mentioned. Crisis management processes of organizations in potential crisis situations are examined.

It has been shown that the development of appropriate agricultural and cooperative education as well as active support of the private initiative by UGCC clergy appeared to be the key prerequisites for the successful cooperation. Andrei Sheptytskyi became not only an influencer but also initiator and active leader of the implementation of social teaching principles into practice of socio-economic transformations that prompted a rapid modernization of the economic and increased efficiency of economic and social processes. Thanks to the implementation of ideas and principles of social teaching, a real revolution occurred in many public spheres such as education, banking, cooperation and entrepreneurship. However, the crucial results of spreading social teaching ideas were changing in the economic culture and activities of Ukrainians, who henceforth considered not only their personal interest but tended to develop such a model of economic interaction, which creates a "positive sum” effect for other society members and for society as a whole. The optimal organizational form that allowed combining interests of different economic agents was cooperation, which, thanks to the ascetic work of the Metropolitan, covered almost all spheres of Ukrainian society life, became an economic base for solving most economic and social problems, and shaped an effective national business environment.

The article is devoted to the search for tools to improve the management of foreign economic activity on the example of one of the Ukrainian enterprises operating in the field of rail freight transport. Uneven distribution of natural resources and many other factors have led to the emergence of foreign economic activity, which involves the exchange of goods, services, technologies, experience and more between countries. In this regard, the management of foreign economic activity for many years is one of the most important aspects of effective organization of any enterprise. Volumes of output and sales, profit, profitability and financial stability, as well as other indicators of companies operating in foreign markets, largely depend on the political situation, the state of legislation, exchange rate, government regulation in foreign economic activity. Ukraine’s transition to a market model of the economy also plays a significant role, which encourages domestic economic entities to improve the management of foreign economic activity. The urgency of this issue is also confirmed by the fact that without the development of foreign trade management, the implementation of economic activities of many organizations will be impossible due to the lack of positive economic effect. In addition, today foreign economic activity remains one of the ways to replenish the country's resources and is developing rapidly. Almost all modern enterprises try to cooperate with foreign companies, respectively, for each of them a very important issue is the correct construction of processes related to foreign trade.

This paper emphasizes that the Covid-19 pandemic is not just a health issue. It has caused a global economic crisis and most importantly a negative impact on gender inequality. The data was collected mainly from the UN Women and projected using content-analysis methods. Using a gender perspective, this study explains that the gender issues as a result of this crisis arise from economic activities that are not distributed fairly. In turn, this has spread to social lives of men and women with significantly more exposed women which are enforced in almost all countries. Job losses and the quality of life for both men and women have decreased. They are forced to make ends meet with increasingly limited resources. This can hamper the ongoing efforts on women's rights fulfilment and gender equality.

The article is devoted to the study of the impact of the introduction of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on changes in the investment climate in Ukraine. The relevance of the topic is that improving the practice of applying IFRS as a tool for exchanging financial information is one of the key conditions for improving the investment climate in Ukraine. The authors have created the generalized scheme that illustrates the chronological list of enterprises that are required by law to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS. It was noted that in 2018, in accordance with Part 2 of Article 12 of the law on accounting and financial reporting in Ukraine and resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 547 from 11.07.2018, the criteria of enterprises that are required to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS were updated. This step significantly increased the level of application of international standards due to the adoption of such a decision at the legislative level. The dynamics of the number of IFRS enterprises in Ukraine was analyzed. The analysis showed that over the past three years, the number of almost all enterprises that must apply international standards has been growing. The advantages of using IFRS for different users of financial statements were determined. It was determined that the priority users of IFRS financial statements are investors. At the same time, it was noted that the main advantage for other users of financial statements prepared in accordance with international standards is the improvement of the investment climate. The dynamics of the Investment Attractiveness Index of Ukraine based on the Likert scale in the period from 2016 to 2020 was analyzed. The direct investment receipts to Ukraine from the European Union countries were studied. The dynamics of direct investment in the Ukrainian economy was analyzed for two types of economic activities that should form financial statements in accordance with IFRS, namely, the extractive industry and quarrying, as well as financial and insurance activities.

AbstractThe research presented here investigates the impact of the business environment on the formalization of informal firms, using firm-level data for 243 informal firms in Kosovo. The findings indicate that business-environment variables such as limited access to financing, the cost of financing, the unavailability of subsidies, tax rates, and corruption have a significant negative impact on the formalization of informal firms. In addition, firm-level characteristics analysis suggests that the age of the firm also exercises a significant negative impact, whereas sales volume exerts a significant positive impact on the formalization of informal firms. These findings have important policy implications and suggest that the abolition of barriers preventing access to financing, as well as tax reforms and a consistent struggle against corruption may have a positive influence on the formalization of informal firms. On the other hand, firm owners should consider formalization to be a means to help them have greater opportunities for survival and growth.
