Methodological Issues of Risk Assessment in Large Investment Projects. Part 2

DOI: 10.33917/es-5.203.2025.64-73

The article substantiates a working toolkit for assessing the risks of implementing alternative projects aimed at creation and production of supersonic passenger aircraft in Russia based on the SWOT analysis techniques. The authors propose a methodological approach to formalizing definition of the competition intensity between manufacturers, as well as the degree of suppliers’ and buyers’ influence on them (developing the conceptual provisions of M. Porter’s five forces of competition model) based on the Herfindahl-Hirschman index. Primary matrix is constructed. Contribution of each factor to the overall integral result is calculated using the modified method of analyzing the internal and external environment profiles, proposed by the authors. The main factors of the project’s effectiveness and threats to its successful completion are identified. Preliminary assessment of the potential need of Russian aviation companies for supersonic aircraft designed for passenger transportation in the Far Eastern Federal District is given.

Staff Motivation and Stimulation — the Most Important Organizational Reserve for Increasing Production Efficiency

DOI: 10.33917/es-3.195.2024.126-137

In modern conditions the primary tool for attracting qualified specialists, minimizing staff turnover and stabilizing a workforce, maintaining and developing staff’s desire to improve professional knowledge and skills is the system of motivation and stimulation of their work activity. That is why the present article, which dwells on choosing the most suitable system for enterprises and organizations of the defenсe industry, based on specific industry characteristics, seems undoubtedly relevant. In the work: 1) literary sources dealing with the issues of labour stimulation are analyzed and summarized; 2) an analytical study was carried out using real data on dependence of the most important indicator of the production and economic activity – revenue from product sales – on the qualitative professional and age characteristics of the business entities’ personnel; 3) a comparative assessment of the personnel motivation and incentive systems used in developed foreign countries is given (information base, mechanisms for forming personnel remuneration rates, advantages, disadvantages, possible areas of application); 4) a justification is given for the expediency of using the Japanese system of lifelong employment, seniority and organization of groups from enterprises’ employees for searching and resolving the “bottlenecks” in the Russian military-industrial complex as the basic fundamental elements; 5) proposals (a set of organizational and economic measures) were formulated to attract young specialists into defence-industrial complex.

Mechanisms for Developing Military Production Diversification Programs Based on the Simulation Methods

DOI: 10.33917/es-1.187.2023.130-142

The main purpose of this work is to develop theoretical and methodological provisions for substantiation of strategic decisions in the field of forming (in the context of military production and import substitution diversification) plans for manufacturing high-tech civilian products by enterprises of the domestic military-industrial complex (DIC).

The following issues are addressed and resolved in the paper: 1) comparative analysis of the specific features of the organization of the of military products manufacturing was carried out; 2) proposals were made on the range of high-tech civilian products that can be produced by defence industry enterprises in the context of the military production diversification; 3) the expediency of using simulation modeling in formation and justification of military production diversification programs was proved; 4) the fundamental principles of building simulation models were formulated and substantiated; 5) the sequence, order, methods and procedures for developing medium-term and annual plans for economic and social development of diversified defence industry enterprises in the context of diversifying military production were developed.

Scientific novelty of the present article consists primarily in qualitative assessment of the impact of changing external factors on the results and performance of economic entities (enterprises), carried out with the help of simulation modeling as a working tool.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.33917/es-2.176.2021.88-97

The purpose of this article is to concretize the main strategic goals formulated by the President of the Russian Federation in order to accelerate the country’s economic development in terms of creating new production capacities in priority areas of economic and social development — national projects, as well as to substantiate a methodological approach to calculating the required volume of their resource provision.

In addition to literary sources and official statistical reporting, normative and legal documents (strategies and government programs) in the field of strategic planning of the activities of the domestic defense industry branches were also used as an information base for the paper.

The article addresses the following issues: 1) ranking according to the level of capital investments efficiency in various sectors of the Russian economy is made; 2) methodological approach to forming a forecast assessment of the required volumes of capital investments and labor resources to ensure the established rates of the country’s economic development is proposed; 3) mechanism for identifying the volume of production depending on the capital investments amount is developed
