Problems of global economic development in 2024–2026

According to the IMF, the US GDP growth rate in 2025 will decrease to 1,6% with the forecast for US GDP growth in 2024 being 2,1%. Our article [1] provides an analysis of «Black Monday» on August 5, 2024, which marked the beginning of the global financial crisis. In this article, we will outline the further course of this crisis. In Russia, GDP growth for the first half of 2024 was 4,6%, for 2024 – 4,1%. The forecast for real GDP for the world was 3,2% in 2024 and, according to the IMF, the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation gave a conservative scenario, according to which the growth of Russian GDP in 2025 will be 1,7%, inflation 3,7% (Kommersant, 09.14.2024, p. 19).

Digital technologies in social services to the population: possibilities and limitations

DOI: 10.33917/mic-2.121.2025.118-126

The article discusses the process of methanol production from hydrogen (H2) and carbon dioxide (СО₂) as a promising direction in the field of gas chemistry. Methanol, which is the most common inhibitor of the formation of gas hydrates, can be synthesized from CO₂. The paper describes in detail the main stages of the process, discusses modern technological solutions such as the use of «green» hydrogen, and shows the economic and environmental aspects of production.

Study on the spatial effect of high-quality development of China’s energy industry on economic growth. Part 1

DOI: 10.33917/mic-2.121.2025.106-110

The energy system is a complex multi-dimensional and multi-criteria optimization system, and the energy development levels in different regions and at different stages of development are different. The Development and Reform Commission of China and the Energy Administration in the «Strategy for Energy Production and Revolution (2016–2030)» proposed that China’s inter-regional energy transformation should be based on security and focus on high-quality development, so as to promote the spatial effect of energy development on economic growth. This paper selects data from 30 provinces in China from 2000 to 2022, and uses Moran’s index and spatial Durbin’s error model to study the impact and spatial effect of China’s energy industry development on economic growth.

Formation of technological solutions for renewable and low-carbon energy projects in oil and gas companies

DOI: 10.33917/mic-2.121.2025.101-105

Technologies largely determine the economic efficiency of project decisions and play a key role in gaining a competitive advantage. Currently, oil and gas companies are faced with the issue of forming a long-term development strategy for emerging energy transition, including setting priorities for allocating funds to the development of technologies in the field of renewable energy sources and low-carbon projects. The article presents the results of systematization and prioritization of such technologies and their use in the development of strategies for «smart investment» in «green» technologies.

Application of a functional management assessment model in conjunction with MVP and GAP analysis to improve quality management of the federal project «Building a network of modern campuses»

DOI: 10.33917/mic-2.121.2025.90-100

This article examines the organizational and economic aspects of applying the functional management assessment model in conjunction with MVP and GAP analysis to improve quality management of the federal project «Building a network of modern Campuses» in modern conditions. The communication profile of the federal project management methodology was built using a functional management assessment model.

The paper shows that GAP analysis makes it possible to identify discrepancies between the current level of quality of the educational infrastructure and the required level of quality defined by the goals of the federal project. The analysis allows you to identify key areas that require improvements, such as technical equipment, safety, accessibility for people with disabilities, shows that GAP analysis makes it possible to identify discrepancies between the current level of quality of the educational infrastructure and the required level of quality defined by the goals of the federal project. The analysis allows you to identify key areas that require improvements, such as technical equipment, safety, accessibility for people with disabilities, etc. Based on the results of the annals on the results of the analysis of the MVP model of the Mediaplan Information System, the authors came to the conclusion that the necessary quality control principles are embedded in the system and cannot be circumvented, which allows us to reduce the distance between the expectations of the target audience and stakeholders of the project and reality, and in emergency cases promptly implement changes «on the ground».

Comparative analysis of foreign qualitative models for forecasting crisis situations and bankruptcy probability. Part 1

DOI: 10.33917/mic-2.121.2025.70-81

The article provides a comparative analysis of foreign qualitative models of bankruptcy forecasting, in particular the models of W. Beaver and D. Duran, with the aim of assessing their applicability to Russian innovative companies. The strengths and weaknesses of the models are considered, as well as the features of their use in the context of Russian reporting under Russian accounting standards (RAS standards). The study presents the results of calculations of financial ratios for 22 Russian mobile operators and telecommunications services (hereinafter referred to as Russian innovative companies) and their comparison with the real financial situation. To assess the accuracy of predictions, the F1 measure was used, the results of which revealed a significant number of inaccuracies in bankruptcy forecasting. Based on the data obtained, the issue of adapting foreign qualitative models of bankruptcy forecasting to Russian economic realities and taking into account the industry specifics of Russian innovative companies in their research is considered.

On the methodology of subject-oriented management of industrial enterprise processes

DOI: 10.33917/mic-2.121.2025.57-69

The subject under observation is the methodology of subject-oriented process management of industrial enterprises as an alternative to traditional approaches. The study highlights the need to adapt management techniques to the high dynamism and uncertainty of the market environment, especially in the context of the Russian economy. The analysis of the structure of subject-oriented management is carried out, which is based on the interaction of several levels of management: from meta-guidelines to specific practical tools. Among the key advantages of the methodology are the ability to quickly test hypotheses, reduce «shadow» functions, automate processes, and create an up-to-date management model with minimal costs. The technique demonstrates a high potential for overcoming modern industrial challenges, such as increasing digitalization, adapting to changing market conditions and staff shortages, which makes this technique particularly relevant for Russian industrial companies.
