Methodological Issues of Risk Assessment in Large Investment Projects. Part 1

DOI: 10.33917/es-4.202.2025.134-137

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.

Problems of Creating Innovative Scientific and Technical Groundwork in the Rocket and Space Industry

DOI: 10.33917/es-2.200.2025.70-77

The article dwells on the problems of creating an innovative advanced scientific-technical reserve (STR) in the rocket and space industry, including innovative uncertainty, inadequacy of the federal regulatory framework to regulate the STR development, absence of a customer and a modern motivation system while creating an advanced STR, backwardness of public-private partnership in the rocket and space industry. Possible mechanisms for creating an innovative scientific-technical reserve are proposed.

Analyzing Specific Features of Economic Activity of Enterprises of the Russian Military-Industrial Complex

DOI: 10.33917/es-2.200.2025.62-69

The article examines key features of the economic activity of the Russian military-industrial complex (MIC). At the same time, it is substantiated that terms and concepts used in modern economic theory to characterize the activities of the defence industrial enterprises do not fully reflect the essence of the economic processes taking place in the MIC.
