INTANGIBLE ASSETS IN THE POSTINDUSTRIAL ECONOMY: MYTHS AND REALITY

The purpose of the article is to determine the role and the place of the intangible assets in the postindustrial economy. The points of view of different scientists about the formation and development of the postindustrial economy from the position of globalization have been checked and the main unsolved controversies, which are observed in the process of its development, have been analyzed. The faultiness of some theses, from the position of the critical analysis, about the influence of some intangible assets on the macro and micro-indicators of the postindustrial society in general and the separate enterprises, in particular, has been proved. Based on the statistic data of the countries’ economies of the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) the thesis about fast effectiveness and financial feedback from the implementation of the intangible assets has been simplified. The complexity of the dimension of the financial feedback of the intangible assets is in that the results of their implementation into the production process in many cases has intangible character, which is not connected with the creation of the final product of consumption (creation of the organization capital, human capital, etc). R. Sollow’s paradox hypothesis as to information technologies has been proposed to be broadened by the on other types of intangible assets. The accountant legislature of different countries has been analyzed and it has been determined that the number in investments in the performance of the research and development (R&D) might influence the amount of the intangible assets in different ways. The results of the leading world corporations’ assets analysis, working in different areas, have been presented in the article. For this purpose, the structure of their balances for 2018 has been analyzed and it has been determined that intangible assets do not occupy the dominant part in the overall general assets. Keywords: intangible assets, postindustrial economy, R&D, productivity, asset structure in the balance sheet. JEL Classification M41, O33, O34 Formulas 0; fig.: 1; tabl.: 3; bibl.: 18.

THE STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM OF EDUCATION IN POST-HUMANISTIC PHILOSOPHY

Posthumanism is considered as one of the significant areas of modern philosophy. The article describes the main provisions of modern philosophical posthumanism: the multiplicity of human experience, the rejection of anthropocentrism and hierarchical representation of nature; overcoming dichotomous thinking. Its connection with the movements of feminism and postcolonialism is indicated. Based on contemporary philosophical and pedagogical research, the authors provide a general outline of the post-humanist theory of education. We can talk about the posthumanist nature of the modern understanding of university education, formed by the openness of universities, their international rivalry in the postindustrial economy and the active involvement of foreign students. This nature is expressed in the transition from personality formation to the formation of assigned skills, expressed in competencies. The growth of the importance of environmental issues at all levels of education, the interaction of education with new technologies, the constitution of new ethics and new aesthetics are also considered. It is noted that in modern conditions pedagogy and philosophy of education cannot avoid discussing the issues posed by the posthumanist movement. The authors believe that a characteristic feature of the posthumanist concept of the necessary transformation of education is its focus on the problem of modernizing its content. An example is the saturation of educational programs with environmental issues. The authors interpret this situation as the preservation of the traditional structure of education, which adapts to the solution of new, including ideological, tasks. The vulnerability of this approach lies in the impossibility for posthumanism to legitimize it by referring to the essentialist view of man.

Talent Management – the Tendencies of Development

In the industrial system, the organization of labor had to be carried out exactly according to the regulations and instructions written by the designer of the work. In the postindustrial economy, the ideology of labor organization is changing. At the dawn of postindustrialization, such concepts as «decent work», «humanization of labor», «rotation of work», «development of human resources», «enrichment of labor», etc. are widely used. At the same time, the trends of «professionalization of labor» and its autonomy began to appear. Step by step, the multi-disciplinary nature of labor grew, when from the post-operative Taylorist-Ford organization of labor began to move to a multi-operational, based on the combination of functions and professions. The emphasis is on creating holistic models of attractive decent work, reducing the distance between different categories of employees, primarily managers and workers. Unlike in the past, prevention, repair and reprogramming of equipment is assigned to the main staff. This indicates a flexible organization of not only production, but also labor. Thus, the employee is freed from the «dictates of machines» and bureaucratic instruction, and is given the freedom to choose decisions and actions while increasing responsibility and risk for the successful performance of work. It becomes the main link in the technological process. When creating new jobs, it is also necessary to take into account the fact that the employee entering the labor market is changing today. The quality of the labor force is improving: the employee’s educational level and competence are growing, and the process of development and training becomes continuous throughout life. The professional space of the employee is also developing, which is manifested in the emergence of new, sometimes hybrid professions related to receiving, transmitting, and processing information in its various forms and ensuring the sustainable development of the information environment. There is a transformation of the place and role of the employee in social production. These changes allow us to speak about the formation of a new type of employee, characterized by a high educational level, knowledge of information and communication technologies (ICT), having the skills to work with complex intellectual equipment, independent and creative thinking, activity and responsibility in their actions, high ability to self-organization, based on creativity in work, that is, the employee becomes creative. The new nature of work, manifests itself, on one side of individualization, it characterizes the weakening of relations of the employee with a certain social environment (workers become more mobile and less dependent on the firms in which they work), the conclusion of individual labour agreements, the personification of the system of motivation of personnel, and on the other – to increase the creative content of the work and turning it into a means of human self-realization. In this regard, the nature of employee management changes, since it becomes not only the object of management, but also its subject – an individual developing within a certain cultural tradition. Talent management, in contrast to HR processes, through which the operational management of personnel is carried out, focuses special attention on employees as the most important single asset that has a strategic focus. The article discusses the search for talented employees in the organization, highlights the characteristic features of modern approaches to managing them (employees), and in particular, the tools for this work, which are constantly being improved.

TOURISM AND CULTURE AS FACTORS OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT: PROBLEMS OF INTERCONNECTION

In the context of the postindustrial economy, the development of the territory is increasingly associated with two keys of territorial resources of the present – culture and tourism. Tourism is a massive sociocultural and socioeconomic phenomenon and one of advanced economic sectors, yielding rather substantial incomes, which are central to the resource for social and economic deve-lopment, ensuring social stability and mutual understanding of people. In this article, the author identi-fies the essential features of tourism and its sociocultural aspects. By way of the fundamental condition of the effective tourism development and the resource of the region development, it is pointed out the assurance of its permanent, seasonally independent character, which can be achieved by attracting culture as a resource of tourist industry. Special attention should be given to the tourism as an object of state cultural politics. The study analyzed the international, federal and regional normative legal documents, which is regulated in the tourism sector. By way of argument it is enumerated the legal documents of the Republic of Crimea. The main problems and prospects are analyzed. The increasing popularity of tourism, as a factor of regional development, is closely connected with culture as an object of tourist interests and wit the key of tourist resources. The author cites the number of problems in local tourism, as one of the foundations, which are indicate the disunity of the tourist industry and the cultural sphere. To solve these problems, it is necessary to envisage the development of mechanisms and to attract extrabudgetary funds, the interac-tion of all departments and social subjects, interested in the development of culture and its usage, as well as a regional development resource, by means of involving cultural heritage objects to the tourism industry. In the conclusion it is emphasized that cultural potential of the regions is not only formed the so-ciocultural identity of the population, but also it is underlined the successful branding of territories and the formation of their positive image, which can affect their tourist attractiveness. At the same time, there is such kind of tourism that allows culture, in the highly profitable sphere, to act not only as an aesthetic resource, but also to make a profit. That is to say that active interaction of tourism and culture of the socioeconomic level of the regions has been risen. The social sustainability has been ensured due to the growth of employment and well-being of the population. The development of trade, as well as transport, construction, food and other spheres, and the development of regional infrastructure are ensued. In addition, the effective attractions of culture, as a resource of tourism, are allowed not only to develop rapidly, but also to stimulate the tourism sector itself and to broadcast the unique cultural resources of the territory in the worldwide space.
