Macrostructural Analysis in Research Economic and Technological Changes

DOI: 10.33917/es-4.196.2024.62-73

The paper reveals the content of the method of structural analysis as a basic approach in economic research, used in the study of economic changes. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the areas of application of structural analysis and its part — macrostructural analysis, with outputs for the study of technological development and the formation of a strategy for economic policy and development. The methodology consists of empirical structural analysis, comparative method and taxonomic approach. The overall result can be considered the identified areas of application of structural analysis in the macroeconomic part of its application, the possibilities and mistakes of applying macrostructural analysis to the study of economic growth and structural transformation of the economy. Let us note that many issues of the application of macrostructural analysis in economic science have been poorly studied. Often in studies it is replaced by the general method of structural analysis, which is reduced exclusively to the assessment of “input-output”, the structure of aggregate demand and production distributed across economic sectors. In fact, structural analysis is much broader, extends to micro and mesoeconomic objects of the economy, and is suitable not only for correcting current macroeconomic policies, but also for developing strategic plans for economic development and carrying out economic changes (reforms). An interpretation of changes within the framework of the “old — new” technologies structure is given, as well as proposals for taking into account technological development as an important condition for carrying out the structural and technological modernization of Russia.

The role of state corporations in the economic development of the Russian Federation today: the case of Rostec State Corporation

DOI: 10.33917/es-4.196.2024.82-89

The reform of development institutions currently being carried out by the Government of the Russian Federation provides for their partial modernization and liquidation. At the same time, some institutions, in particular state-owned corporations, are not subject to reform due to the fact that their activities are strategically important and fully consistent with the goals of the country’s economic development. According to the authors of the article, the Rostec state-owned corporation today has positive experience in achieving the goals set by the state. The directions and results of Rostec’s activities during the sanctions period, industry and financial indicators, the execution of the state defense order and the share of civilian products, development directions in various sectors of the economy and innovative developments to ensure competitiveness in domestic and foreign markets are studied.

Ambivalent Economic Stability. Sustainability vs. Resilience

DOI: 10.33917/es-4.196.2024.90-97

The author addressed the topic of comparing the meanings of the terms “sustainability” and “resilience” due to the fact that both these terms are used in economic literature, and at the same time they are both translated into Russian as “sustainability”, which sometimes causes incorrect understanding of the meaning of certain texts. The article dwells on genesis and areas of application of these terms, it is noted that the frequency of applying the word “resilience” has increased significantly in recent years. At the same time, a generally accepted definition of this term has not yet been developed, at least in its economic application. The same is referred to the term “sustainability”. Disadvantages of each of the terms are listed and debate on the priority of one term over another is considered. The author briefly discussed the use of terms in the current context of the Russian economy. It is concluded that while in terms of “resilience” the domestic economy has demonstrated visible success, then in terms of “sustainability” prospects there are serious problems.

Anthropic Control of Causal Processes to “Requantize Reality”

DOI: 10.33917/es-4.196.2024.98-107

The role of a man in the universal evolutionary process is underestimated. With the advent of a man, the Multiverse begins to realize itself, cognize and transform itself. Creation of a socially significant reality throughout history is manifested by the anthropic principle, which makes the quantum properties of objects dependent on a person endowed with intelligence.

In the universal evolution formation of mass-kinetic structures and processes has completed and the “requantization of reality” is taking place — transition to information-semantic forms of being and consciousness. A social state, capable of concentrating the necessary resources for a quantum leap into the future, can become an instrument of planned transition. To interact with the Multiverse, it is necessary to apply closing technologies both in technical and humanitarian fields of knowledge.

On the Way to the Harmosphere

DOI: 10.33917/es-4.196.2024.108-113

The article dwells on the concept of harmosphere — the sphere of harmony of mind and feeling, man and nature, natural and human sciences. The noosphere arose with the beginning of the “industrial revolution”, when the progress of mankind as a whole came to be determined by reason. According to V.I. Vernadsky, man becomes “the largest geological force.” Modernity corresponds to the end of the noospheric stage of development and the beginning of the harmosphere formation. The “end” of the noosphere correlates with the emergence and legalization of nuclear missile weapons capable of destroying civilization.

2024 — Year of the Family. New Measures to Support the Birth Rate in Russia

DOI: 10.33917/es-4.196.2024.114-123

Recently Russia has been actively searching for a way out of the demographic crisis. A timely response to internal demographic problems became the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin, according to which 2024 has been declared the Year of the Family. Focus on popularizing family values shows that the problem is becoming more and more pertinent, and no effective solutions have been found to date.

Demographic problem in general is widely discussed in Russia, attempts are made to reverse the negative trend with the help of various economic measures. However, any significant progress hasn’t yet been achieved. In this regard, new views and approaches to solving this problem are extremely in demand.

Subject-Oriented Business Process Management as a Tool for Innovative Development of an Enterprise

DOI: 10.33917/es-4.196.2024.128-136

The article explores mechanisms for increasing resilience and sustainability of commercial organizations in conditions of growing instability of the external environment. Approaches to understanding viability, sustainability and adaptability of an organization are analyzed. The concept of managerial cross-section is introduced. Among the highlighted sections, the authors examine in more details the tools for studying a communication aspect. Advantages of subject-oriented management for designing communications in an organization are described, some risks of implementing the proposed strategy are identified. Relevance of the study is determined by parameters and trends of change in the modern market environment, which really necessitate to strengthen the dynamics of renewal and adaptation processes, since acceleration of technological innovation is not accompanied by adequate and comparable development of management models. Results obtained can be applied for theoretical research into the functioning of sociotechnical systems of different scales. Also, the proposed approach can be put into practice as part of the development of measures aimed at transforming the company’s business model or improving the efficiency of operational management.
