State financial regulation of the competitive environment: assessment for the agricultural sector of Ukraine

The article reveals the importance of state financial regulation as one of the most important tools for economic growth and ensuring the competitiveness of industries and the economy of Ukraine. The studies of domestic and foreign scientists on the subject of research are analyzed in detail. The state of enterprises of the agricultural sector of Ukraine for the period 2013-2020 has been determined. The study was carried out on the factors of providing agricultural producers with financial resources in terms of the size of the forms of management. The share of unprofitable enterprises in the industry for the same period is also analyzed. The achievements of the agricultural sector are described according to the statistical analysis of the state of socio-economic development of the regions in the period 2020-2021. The methodology for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the implementation of the state regional policy in accordance with legislative regulations is described. This made it possible to establish that at the present stage, the financial regulation of the agricultural sector of Ukraine is carried out without proper scientific justification and, as a rule, responds slowly to the requirements of economic practice, especially in the context of deepening the penetration of global processes into the national economy. Approaches to the assessment of the competitive environment of the agrarian sector of Ukraine and the direction of its state regulation are proposed. Theoretical, methodological, and practical aspects of assessing the competitiveness of the sector are disclosed. The necessity and possibility of forming a competitive environment by fiscal policy measures, primarily budgetary regulation, is proved. The problems of forming a competitive environment in the context of the current crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the place of Ukraine in the world competitiveness ranking are identified, and methodological approaches to the development strategy are proposed. It is proved that the competitive strategy is based on the existing resources of the industry (material, financial and intellectual), the level of development of various forms of management, the structure of production, marketing, processing, the formation of value chains and a bilateral state-market regulator. The directions for improving the quality of the competitive environment, arising from the paradigm of innovative development of the agricultural sector, are summarized and provide for the stimulation of small business in niche and organic production and large-scale industrial production in terms of the main indicators of food security, as well as the development of land, financial, credit and resource markets and the formation of equal access to them all agricultural producers

Adaptation of domestic state governance to international governance models

The purpose of the article is to provide the evolving international trends of modern management models and authorial vision of model of state governance system in Ukraine, its subsystems, in particular, the system of provision of administrative services that is appropriate for the contemporary times. Methodology. On the basis of scientific and theoretical approaches to the definitions of terms “state governance” and “public governance”, there was an explanation of considerable difference between them and, taking into consideration, the mentality of Ukrainian society and peculiar weak side in self-organization, the authors offered to form authorial model of governance on the basis of historically traditional for Ukraine model of state governance and to add some elements of management concepts that proved their significance, efficiency and priority in practice. Results. The authors emphasized the following two prevailing modern management models in the international practice: “new state management” and “good governance”. The first concept offered for consideration served as a basis for the semantic content of state activity that reflects more the state of administrative reformation. Practical meaning. A practical introduction of management to the domestic model of governance creates the range of contradictions that do not allow implementing herein concept. Pursuant to authors, the second one allows in considerable measure to reform state governance, considering historically developed peculiarities of this model. Moreover, the involvement of concept herein into introduction of informational and communicational technologies in the process of governance eliminates the necessity of power decentralization, it allows to form real net structure and, at the same, to keep vertical power structure, to involve citizens for formation and taking of management decisions, to form electronic communicational channel of feedback, to provide citizens with electronic administrative services. All indicated advantages of the concept certify about the necessity to reform state governance exactly in this field. Meaning/ Distinction. This article raises a question about the significance of formation and sequence of state policy in Ukraine aimed at creating an information-oriented society, space, as well as informational and technological infrastructure

Net structure of subject-to-subject relations in the management of the system of administrative services provision

The purpose of the work is to form the net structure of management of the system of administrative services provision on the basis of implementation of subject-to-subject interactions between state sector and civil society. Methodology. The methodology basis for the investigation is the abstract-logical analysis of theoretical and methodological backgrounds for management of relations and interactions. For the theoretical generalization and formation of net structure, there are used scientific recommendations of Ukrainian scientists regarding the necessity to implement subject-to-subject relations in the system of administrative services provision. Results. The investigations allowed confirming that the hierarchical structure of the state governance system does not give an opportunity to implement equal interaction between a subject of provision and a subject of an appeal as these relations have one – way communication and the feedback channel has a formal character. Moreover, the civil society is not considered by state sector to be a source of methods and ways to develop the system of state governance, in particular, the management system of administrative services provision. Practical meaning. The net structure of management will allow implementing the subject-subject relations in the system, under which the actions of the subject of provision – that means state sector – will be directed to the realization of rights and interests of the subjects of appeal. In their turn, apart from the performance of all legislative responsibilities that they should perform, they can carry out activities directed to the development of management activity in the system of administrative services provision and the whole system of state governance as an integral system of management. Meaning/Distinction. The provided model of the net structure will allow involving citizens in the processes of state governance and increasing the impact of the civil sector during the making of state and management decisions and, as a result, to confirm subject-to-subject positions in the relations

Introduction of advanced information technologies in agriculture

The digital transformation of Russian agriculture is considered as one of the most promising areas for the development of domestic and global agricultural sector. The implementation of it will allow to overcome the existing global challenges arising from the growth of population and improvement of the quality of life, including: an increase in food demand (by 60% compared to 2050), increasing anthropogenic pressure on the environment (70% of water consumption and 30% of carbon dioxide emissions currently come from global agriculture), reduction of agricultural land and soil depletion. Also, the digitalization of agricultural enterprises will stabilize the situation in agricultural markets through the production and marketing of agricultural products that meet consumer preferences, formed in the process of development of a model of conscious and environmentally friendly consumption

Интегрированное бюджетирование на сельскохозяйственных предприятиях: функциональность и принятие управленческих решений

In agriculture, issues of cost optimization and resource conservation play an important role both in setting correct and effective accounting and managing the agricultural business and in making strategic, timely and focused management decisions. Currently, more and more agricultural enterprises are striving to justify the long-term goal of developing their agricultural business. This fact largely forms the relevance of budgeting in the framework of the current state of the economy, which is in a stagnant state. The aim of the study was the development of budgeting methods for agricultural enterprises as a tool for accounting and analysis in the management of their activities. Nowadays, budgeting is one of the important elements of agricultural enterprise management concepts. Budgeting with an integrated approach as part of strategic budgeting in agriculture should take a leading position, as mathematical calculations are carried out, a market analysis is carried out taking into account all the features of accounting management and financial accounting and business management. In the research process, general scientific and special methods were applied: analysis, synthesis, abstraction, modeling, methods of systematization and generalization of the results. The objectives of the study were to assess the role of budgeting in agricultural enterprises; substantiation of the functionality of integrated budgeting; determination of the stages and types of economic decisions of integrated budgeting; development of a conceptual model for assessing the risk level of strategic budget alternatives. In accordance with the goals and objectives, the functionality of budgeting is substantiated, the stages and types of economic solutions for agricultural enterprises are determined. A conceptual model for assessing the risk level of strategic budget alternatives in agriculture has been developed. The proposed activities will help agricultural organizations to fully carry out activities, taking into account preliminary and competent budgeting, as well as budget alternatives.En la agricultura, los temas de optimización de costos y conservación de recursos juegan un papel importante tanto en establecer una contabilidad correcta y efectiva y en administrar el negocio agrícola como en tomar decisiones estratégicas, oportunas y enfocadas en el manejo. Actualmente, cada vez más empresas agrícolas se esfuerzan por justificar el objetivo a largo plazo de desarrollar su negocio agrícola. Este hecho forma en gran medida la relevancia del presupuesto en el marco del estado actual de la economía, que se encuentra en un estado estancado. El objetivo del estudio fue el desarrollo de métodos de presupuesto para empresas agrícolas como una herramienta de contabilidad y análisis en la gestión de sus actividades. Hoy en día, el presupuesto es uno de los elementos importantes de los conceptos de gestión de empresas agrícolas. La presupuestación con un enfoque integrado como parte de la elaboración de presupuestos estratégicos en la agricultura debe tomar una posición de liderazgo, ya que se realizan cálculos matemáticos, se realiza un análisis de mercado teniendo en cuenta todas las características de la gestión contable y la contabilidad financiera y la gestión empresarial. En el proceso de investigación, se aplicaron métodos generales científicos y especiales: análisis, síntesis, abstracción, modelado, métodos de sistematización y generalización de los resultados. Los objetivos del estudio fueron evaluar el papel del presupuesto en las empresas agrícolas; fundamentación de la funcionalidad del presupuesto integrado; determinación de las etapas y tipos de decisiones económicas de presupuestación integrada; Desarrollo de un modelo conceptual para evaluar el nivel de riesgo de las alternativas de presupuesto estratégico. De acuerdo con las metas y objetivos, se fundamenta la funcionalidad del presupuesto, se determinan las etapas y los tipos de soluciones económicas para las empresas agrícolas. Se ha desarrollado un modelo conceptual para evaluar el nivel de riesgo de las alternativas presupuestarias estratégicas en la agricultura. Las actividades propuestas ayudarán a las organizaciones agrícolas a llevar a cabo actividades en su totalidad, teniendo en cuenta el presupuesto preliminar y competente, así como las alternativas presupuestarias.В сельском хозяйстве вопросы оптимизации затрат, сохранности ресурсов, играют важную роль как в постановке правильного и эффективного бухгалтерского учета так и управления сельскохозяйственным бизнесом и принятии стратегических, своевременных и целенаправленных управленческих решений. В настоящее время все больше сельскохозяйственных предприятий стремятся к обоснованию долговременной цели развития своего сельскохозяйственного бизнеса. Данный факт во многом формирует актуальность осуществления бюджетирования в рамках современного состояния экономики, которая до сегодняшнего дня находится в стагнационном состоянии. Целью исследования являлось развитие методики бюджетирования для сельскохозяйственных предприятий как инструмента учета и анализа в управлении их деятельностью. Бюджетирование сейчас выступает одним из важных элементов концепций по управлению сельскохозяйственным предприятием. Бюджетирование с интегральным подходом как часть стратегического бюджетирования в сельском хозяйстве должно занять ведущие позиции, так как осуществляются математические расчеты, проводится анализ рынка с учетом всех особенностей бухгалтерского управленческого и финансового учета и управления бизнесом. В процессе исследования применены общенаучные и специальные методы: анализ, синтез, абстрагирование, моделирование, приемы систематизации и обобщения полученных результатов. Задачами исследования являлись оценка роли бюджетирования в сельскохозяйственных предприятиях; обоснование функциональных возможностей интегрального бюджетирования; определение этапов и типов экономических решений интегрального бюджетирования; разработка концептуальной модели оценки уровня риска стратегических бюджетных альтернатив. В соответствии с целями и поставленными задачами обоснованы функциональные возможности бюджетирования, определены этапы и типы экономических решений для предприятий сельского хозяйства. Разработана концептуальная модель оценки уровня риска стратегических бюджетных альтернатив в сельском хозяйстве. Предлагаемые мероприятия помогут сельскохозяйственным организациям в полной мере осуществлять деятельность с учетом предварительного и грамотного бюджетирования, а так же бюджетных альтернатив

On increasing of the competitiveness of the garment industry in Siberian Federal District on the basis of the industrial cluster establishment

The issue of the development prospects of the Russian economy and the economy of its individual branches in the regions is highly relevant in terms of the increasing crises and economic development challenges. The scope of the study is a garment industry of the Siberian Federal District, which includes 12 subjects, and only six of them develop the garment industry actively. There are the regions of Kemerovo, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Tomsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai and the Republic of Khakassia. The subject matter of the research is the state and prospects of the garment industry of the Siberian Federal District. It also includes the assessment of the garment industry as one of the sub-sectors of the light industry in terms of its competitiveness in the domestic market. The purpose of the comprehensive study is to determine the conditions and factors affecting the development of the industry, as well as to identify its development reserves and competitiveness on the basis of industrial cluster’s generation. The hypothesis of this study is that in the Siberian Federal District, there are a need and reserves to create a cluster of the garment industry. The main methods of the study are the comparative analysis, the expert assessment of the sector in certain regions of the Siberian Federal District, as well as the assessment of possible formation of the industrial cluster in the region. The results of the study are the evaluation of the competitiveness and prospects of the garment industry in Russia and the Siberian Federal District (a low level of development and competitiveness); the evaluation of the development level of the garment industry in the Federal District, which have showed the demand for apparel products from the population and enterprises, as well as the conditions for the provision of clothing manufacture with natural fabrics and synthetic materials, labor resources and research and development achievements; also the justification of the existing potential for development of a sectoral cluster by means of pooling together the productions and economic communications of the Novosibirsk and Omsk regions at the initial stage. The obtained results should be used to strengthen works for the development of regional industrial cluster (with a creation of a working group at the regional governments, the garment industry development programs, and practical measures for its realization), as well as a creation of conditions for stimulation of investment activity of entrepreneurs. The research has confirmed the hypothesis, that in the Siberian Federal District, there are a need and reserves to create a cluster of the garment industry
