The paper emphasizes the relevance of the research of network entrepreneurship structures. The role of network business structures in the development of interregional economic cooperation is explained. As far as the facilities of network business structures are located in various Ukrainian regions, they contribute to not only the establishment of interregional economic links, but also the improvement of meeting the residents’ needs for goods and services. The condition and development dynamics of the largest pharmacies networks in Ukraine are analyzed. On this basis the features of interregional distribution of their trade outlets, organizational and spatial aspects of their functioning and network links in terms of evaluation of the level of centralization, structural homogeneity and openness of networks are defined. The analysis of major financial-economic activity indicators of the leading pharmacies networks in Ukraine showed that they develop in correspondence with their capacity and development trends at the market of pharmaceuticals in Ukraine. The analysis also showed that most of networks under research have high density of internal connections, maximized centralization level, homogenous structure, and high links mobility. We can observe the tendency towards the increase of trade outlets in the networks and insufficient activity of pharmacies networks in terms of participation in joint innovative projects. The express-estimation of the functioning efficiency of six pharmacies networks, which are the leaders of national market by the number of facilities and volumes of sales, established that the company Apteka-Mahnolia (“Apteka nyzkyh tsin”) has received the strongest synergy effect by the profitability and number of newly created trade outlets. The network of pharmacies “Podorozhnyk” has the strongest synergy effect by the proceeds in the pharmacy network. The abovementioned companies use the progressive management methods that promote the efficiency of their activity. The paper outlines the competitive advantages of entrepreneurship networks development, which shall contribute to activation of interregional economic links, and emphasizes the flaws of the network form of business organization.

The Competitiveness Of Enterprises

In today's market economy, competition is an important concept. Today, issues of competition and competitiveness are especially relevant due to the processes of globalization and intensification of competition between producers of goods and services. As a result, the question arises as to what makes one producer better than another and whether he is able to fully meet the needs of his consumer, thus ensuring his profit? Therefore, assessing the competitive advantages, production, personnel, technological and marketing capabilities of the enterprise, as well as identifying ways to improve them affect the competitiveness of the enterprise in both domestic and foreign markets, as well as the possibility of expanding into new markets. Assessing the competitiveness of the enterprise allows to determine its advantages and disadvantages in comparison with competitors, identify ways to improve it, strengthen the company's position in the national market and identify new target markets. The article provides a review of scientific literature, research and publications on the subject of research, describes the methods, their advantages and disadvantages for assessing the competitiveness of the enterprise in terms of entering new international markets.

Cooperative Federalism

It has long been argued that federal countries, especially those with strong subnational taxing powers, might face difficulty in implementing a federal value-added tax (VAT) because of coordination issues involved, and therefore might be reluctant to adopt one. This article provides insights on how VAT structures are evolving in federal systems, where different tiers of government have separate (and sometimes overlapping) taxation powers. While the author focuses mainly on India's recently enacted goods and services tax (GST), he also offers a comparative perspective, with reference to the GST/VAT systems in Canada, Brazil, and the European Union, thus adding to the hitherto limited body of scholarly work on VAT coordination in federal jurisdictions. The GST is arguably India's biggest tax reform in several decades. Introduced primarily to create a unified national market and bring an end to tax wars and economic distortions, the tax reform's chief slogan was "GST—one-nation-one-tax-one-market." This article takes a closer look at a unique institutional design feature of the Indian GST—a centre-state body called the GST council. What makes this body unique is that it is envisaged as functioning on the principles of cooperative federalism. But can a concurrent tax system, whose very survival is based on cooperative federalism, guarantee a unified national market? If yes, for how long? The author highlights the role of the GST council in market integration and explains why the council has succeeded on several fronts while failing on others. He also addresses an unresolved constitutional issue that could affect the GST council's ability to function as the fulcrum for cooperative federalism—namely, the question of whether its decisions are binding. The uncertainty surrounding this issue could lead to a constitutional crisis if one or more states decide to opt out. The author discusses four possible ways to deal with this impending crisis.

The City

The level of development of a country largely depends on the level of development of its cities. It is in the cities that industrial production is concentrated, innovative processes take place, and investments are attracted. Modern cities are entering into competitive relations. Competition is mainly for labor, financial, economic and other resources. After all, the purpose of forming a high level of competitiveness is to ensure a high standard of living for city residents. The difficulty of the competition of modern cities is that a city that cannot withstand it cannot cease to exist (unlike economic entities). The process of managing the competitiveness of a modern city should be aimed not only at ensuring economic growth but also at high social standards. The difficulties in managing the city's competitiveness also lie in the active implementation of administrative reform, as many modern cities are becoming centers of united territorial communities. The effectiveness of the city's competitiveness management process will depend on the effectiveness of the city's competitive advantage. The purpose of the article is to determine the features of competitiveness management of a modern city and study the role of competitive advantages in the formation of the desired level of competitiveness of the city. The article investigates and analyzes the main approaches to the interpretation of the categories "competitiveness of the city" and "competitive advantages of the city" and also presents its own vision for the interpretation of economic categories. The main groups of competitive advantages of the city of Mukachevo are analyzed. The role of the index of competitiveness of cities in decision-making in the field of management of competitiveness of the modern city is investigated. This issue is especially important given that the city's competitiveness is given less attention. In modern realities, attention is focused on issues of product competitiveness, the economy, the economy as a whole. A more in-depth study of the process of formation and management of competitive advantages of the city will allow to change the regional policy taking into account the interests and peculiarities of the development of certain territories, communities, regions.

The article examines the essence of forming competitive advantages of enterprise due to innovative development and management of innovation potential. The factors that influence the level of competitiveness of enterprise are determined. Ensuring competitiveness involves the systematization of all factors that impact it and their further analysis in the context of a separate enterprise. The priority is the allocation of direct action factors that form competitive advantages and, accordingly, the competitiveness of the enterprise. The main principles of innovative enterprise management should be: constant forecasting of the situation in the market of capital, goods and services, planning of actions and anticipation of crisis circumstances; avoidance of technological lagging and, as a result, its prevention; systematic implementation of innovations in all, including the interrelated, spheres of activity of enterprise; continuous investment in human capital, innovations; gaining competitive advantages. It is determined that competitive advantages are the result of interaction of enterprise resources, without which enterprise cannot form its competitiveness. In the system of competitive advantages, it is important to allocate those that are the basis of the advantages of the enterprise as a whole. Ensuring sustainable competitive positions of enterprise should be implemented within the framework of the mechanism of management of its competitiveness, which is a system of instruments, methods, levers and incentives used to form and maintain competitive advantages. The instruments of such management are means to influence the economic activity of enterprise, namely: financial, economic, organizational and technological components. The author suggests the main directions of increasing the competitiveness of enterprises on the basis of innovative management and development. Novel technologies have been identified, the implementation of which will increase the competitiveness of enterprise. The main directions of strengthening the position of enterprises in the market should be cost management, ensuring the innovative and balanced development, substantiation and introduction of the latest technologies.
