The paradigm of modern development has brought to the Central positions of research essential transformations of the management system, which are caused by qualitative changes in the status roles of key «players» - the subject and object of management. The transformation of the management system in a modern organization can be positioned as a transition from subject-object relations in the «power - subordination» dichotomy to socially oriented forms of relationships based on the priority of the practices of participation, community and equality of interests. The article considers the key factors that determined the qualitative changes in the management system, which lie in the plane of changes in both the nature of production (the priority of high-tech technologies) and the needs of production in highly qualified professionals. In these conditions, the functionality of traditional management systems becomes insufficiently effective and, under the influence of socio-cultural factors that professionals become carriers of, changes its vector. The article shows the actor model of management, in which participants in the management process, who are capable of active and creative actions in an organized space, form and develop a unique environment of the organization, which is able to function adequately and mobile in conditions of uncertainty and risks.

In the article the major trends in the energy sector of Ukraine in modern geopolitical conditions are investigated. The status and dynamics of energy security of Ukraine during 2007–2015 years are evaluated. The main factors strengthening the energy security of Ukraine in 2015 – the decrease of energy intensity of GDP and improving of the diversification of supply sources and kinds of energy resources are detected. The impact of key threats caused by geopolitical changes on the level of energy security of Ukraine is determined. The probability and preconditions of implementation of optimistic, basic, pessimistic scenarios of changes in such key factors of energy security, as energy intensity of GDP and the share of the dominant fuel in total energy consumption are substantiated. Directions of strengthening the energy security of Ukraine in terms of geopolitical transformations, comprehensive reforms of the production and import of energy production, distribution and the use of electricity; further reducing of energy intensity of GDP through economic restructuring and increasing the share of services and high-tech industries in GDP, energy efficiency enterprises of old industrial areas and their technical modernization.

A significant part of Ukrainian bridges on public roads is operated for more than 30 years (94 %). At the same time, the traffic volume and the weight of vehicles has increased significantly. Insufficient level of bridges maintenance funding leads to the deterioration of their technical state. The ways to ensure reliable and safe operation of bridges are considered. The procedure for determining the predicted operational status of the elements and the bridge in general, which has a scientific novelty, is proposed. In the software complex, Analytical Expert Bridges Management System (AESUM), is a function that allows tracking the changes in the operational status of bridges both in Ukraine and in each region separately. The given algorithm of the procedure for determining the predicted state of the bridge using a degradation model is described using the Nassie-Schneidermann diagram. The model of the degradation of the bridge performance which is adopted in Ukraine as a normative one, and the algorithm for its adaptation to the AESUM program complex with the function to ensure the probabilistic predicted operating condition of the bridges in the automatic mode is presented. This makes it possible, even in case of unsatisfactory performance of surveys, to have the predicted lifetime of bridges at the required time. For each bridge element it is possible to determine the residual time of operation that will allow predict the state of the elements of the structure for a certain period of time in the future. Significant interest for specialists calls for the approaches to the development of orientated perspective plans for bridge inspection and monitoring of changes in the operational status of bridges for 2009-2018 in Ukraine. For the analysis of the state of the bridge economy, the information is available on the distribution of bridges by operating state related to the administrative significance of roads, by road categories and by materials of the structures. Determining the operating state of the bridge is an important condition for making the qualified decisions as regards its maintenance. The Analytical Expert Bridges Management System (AESUM) which is implemented in Ukraine, stores the data on the monitoring the status of bridges and performs the necessary procedures to maintain them in a reliable and safe operating condition. An important result of the work is the ability to determine the distribution of bridges on the public roads of Ukraine, according to operating conditions established in the program complex of AESUM, which is presented in accordance with the data of the current year. In conditions of limited funding and in case of unsatisfactory performance of surveys, it is possible to make the reasonable management decisions regarding the repair and the reconstruction of bridges. Keywords: bridge management system, operating condition, predicted operating condition, model of degradation, bridge survey plan, highway bridge.

Wind-assisted ship propulsion (WASP) technology seems to be a promising solution toward accelerating the shipping industry’s decarbonization efforts as it uses wind to replace part of the propulsive power generated from fossil fuels. This article discusses the status quo of the WASP technological growth within the maritime transport sector by means of a secondary data review analysis, presents the potential fuel-saving implications, and identifies key factors that shape the operational efficiency of the technology. The analysis reveals three key considerations. Firstly, despite the existing limited number of WASP installations, there is a promising trend of diffusion of the technology within the industry. Secondly, companies can achieve fuel savings, which vary depending on the technology installed. Thirdly, these bunker savings are influenced by environmental, on-board, and commercial factors, which presents both opportunities and challenges to decision makers.

Globalization of the economy, revolutionary technological changes in production processes, and trade liberalization necessitate the deepening of research on theoretical and methodological aspects of the formation of new models to manage industrial development. The paper highlights a number of theoretical provisions that can serve as conceptual guidelines for the modernization of the industrial management system in Ukraine in the context of modern globalization and technological challenges. In particular, the paper emphasizes that the intellectualization of industrial production necessitates the intellectualization of management processes. The specifics of strategizing the innovative development of the industry are considered. Recommendations for the formation of a "scientific and information shell" of the management system based on the coordination of government, business, educational and scientific institutions, NGOs in the modernization of industrial policy and implementation of a new model of industrial development management are suggested. The basic functions of modernization of the industrial management system (worldview, epistemological, genetic, adaptive, social, economic, ecological, and political) are highlighted. The fundamental schemes to implement the new model of management of industrial development and its intellectualization at the macro level are offered. The importance of the regional level of modernization of industrial development management is noted. In this context, the concept of «smart specialization» based on the idea of taking full account of the benefits and capacity of a particular region, and «good governance» concept is emphasized to deserve special attention.

Japan is going through a transformation, yet it is difficult to judge which model should be chosen as a direction to go in with corporate reforms. Badly needed initiatives seeking to replace outdated managerial habits by new best practices in Japanese firms are being jeopardized by organizational members whose goal is to maintain the status quo — in terms of both political power and everyday work routines. Yet managerial habits and behaviours need to change if Japanese firms are to be entrepreneurial and innovative. According to institutionalism, blocking new initiatives is normal, and societal support is needed for major reform attempts. The focus of this paper is to shed light on how society in Japan is divided when it comes to large firms altering practices with which they have been traditionally managed. Our proposition is that complex, multi-element reform packages — having a potentially opposing dominant coalition, which is the case of Japan — ought to be implemented following a well-defined, prioritized listing of elements. After examining an attitude survey carried out in Japan, our findings revealed two clusters with a particularly high level of support for traditional management. Moreover, out of the two, one appeared to be extremely passive and resistant to any sort of change. In order to fight general resistance and reform outdated practices, our survey shows that Japan could move further towards a system compensating performance rather than seniority and giving more chance to women, discarding mass-recruitment, slow promotion whilst also maintaining the most deeply-rooted traditional values such as job security, paternalism or harmony in corporate life.

This journal discusses the implementation of the Border Control Management (BCM) system which is integrated with the Enhanced Cekal System (ECS), the Interpol I-24/7 system and also with the repository servers such as residence permits and DPRI systems in terms of security in this case based on the principle of selective policy. This form of research uses qualitative research with descriptive methods. Based on the research conducted, in the BCM system there is an Immigration Data Exchange as a regulator of integration between applications. The application of an integrated system in BCM makes the results of immigration checks at the time of scanning the passport showing the status of a ban, visa and residence permit, the last crossing, the status of Interpol, checking the transportation means, and checking other passports. However, the system is still often partially connected so that the Class I Special TPI Soekarno-Hatta Immigration Office must make various efforts such as having a Special IT team and making innovations to make immigration checks at TPI easier and more effective and in accordance with the principle of selective policies implemented by Indonesia.
