Aim. To determine the characteristics and specificity of intellectual property management of a modern organization and on this basis to form an understanding of the role of its assessment in making sound management decisions.Tasks. To reveal the essence and managerial basics of intangible assets as key assets of modern organization; to prove the value of intellectual property and its assessment from the position of modern management and business; to compare the currently used approaches to intellectual property assessment from the point of view of their advantages and disadvantages as well as their role in management decision making; to suggest the directions of using the results of intellectual property assessment in the process of functioning and development managementMethods. The methodological basis of the study was the conceptual concepts of the theory of managerial decision-making and property theory, which allowed the authors of the article to use a system of general scientific methods and approaches to the study. When writing the article, the textual analysis of scientific publications and provisions of current regulatory documents in the field of determining the value and market evaluation of intangible assets, the comparative analysis of key methods of evaluation of intellectual property objects with an indication of the shortcomings of each of them, the calculation method, tabular data presentation, as well as the construction of groupings and generalizations were used.Results. The essence of intangible assets was revealed, which is manifested in the fact that they act as a factor that significantly increases the competitiveness, market value and financial performance of the enterprise. This makes special demands on the management of intellectual property as a key asset of a modern organization. The value of intellectual property and its assessment in terms of making important managerial and business decisions that affect the success of the organization is argued. This is expressed primarily in the growth of market capitalization of companies-owners of intellectual property. The approach[1]es to the assessment of intellectual property applied today are compared: income-based, comparative and cost-based, which allowed to identify their advantages and limitations, to determine the prospects of using different combinations of approaches and methods of assessment in making managerial decisions. The directions of using the results of the intellectual property assessment in the process of managing the sustainable development of the organization under the current conditions of economic instability and increased likelihood of risks, which actualizes the need for organizations to have reliable information about the fair value of intangible assets.Conclusions.

Aim. To substantiate the potential advantages of introducing the digital ruble into the financial system of Russia.Tasks. Theoretical analysis of existing views of Russian and foreign economists on the spread of digital currencies in the modern financial system. To study the possibilities of using digital currencies. Consideration of the concept of introduction of the digital ruble in the financial system of the Russian Federation (RF) and justification of its potential advantages and risks. Study of the digital ruble as a new form of national currency and its legitimization. Analysis of the annual growth rate of the monetary aggregate M0 in Russia for the period 2018-2023.Methods. The study uses system and logical approaches, general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis), methods of comparative and economic analysis, analytical processing of information, graphical presentation of information and mathematical modeling.Results. In connection with the growth rate of digitalization development, the trend of digital currencies distribution in the modern financial system of the Russian Federation was characterized: the legislatively enshrined definitions of concepts were analyzed, electronic and digital money were compared, and the main types of digital currencies and their key features were identified. The annual growth rates of the monetary aggregate M0 in Russia for the period 2018-2023 were analyzed.Conclusions. The identified potential advantages of the introduction of the digital ruble into the financial system of Russia will contribute to the reduction of the share of the shadow economy, large settlement transactions using smart contracts, reducing the costs of settlement and payment transactions, which should lead to a positive economic effect, but it is necessary to take into account the risks of this process. Periods of socio-economic instability may lead to an increase in the risk of mass desire of citizens to use cash. The analysis of the annual growth rates of the monetary aggregate M0 in Russia for the period 2018-2023 allowed us to conclude that for the effective implementation of such a property of the digital ruble as markability, it is necessary to reduce the volume of cash in the hands of the population. This goal can be achieved by increasing the financial and digital literacy of the population, which minimizes the risks of its implementation. In the future, the development of digital technologies in the economy will make it possible to give virtual currencies the official status of a means of payment.

Aim. Formation of sustainable economy of Russia on the basis of the criterion of dynamic equilibrium between reasonable and expedient state intervention in the course of economic processes and market self-regulation.Tasks. To analyse the peculiarities of economic models of developed countries of the world; to propose a comprehensive approach to the formation of a sustainable economy in the context of economic theory; to clarify the structural organisation of the model of economic dynamics and to determine the indicators that signal the change of phases of the economic cycle; to substantiate the expediency of using the method of system identification of the objects under study to carry out systemic modelling of the structural organisation of a sustainable economy; to propose a logical scheme of the Russian economy, sustainability of economic processes in Russia.Methods. In the article on the basis of application of the method of system identification of the studied objects the methodology of structural organisation of sustainable economy is substantiated, which includes the reasoning of its structural elements — market environment, state economic policy, the main tools of which are state economic strategy, state regulation of the economy and market self-regulation. The synergy of the latter determines the possibility of maintaining market equilibrium and creates the required conditions for social production and social reproduction.Results. The necessity and possibility of transition from a market economy, unable to withstand global challenges and maintain equilibrium state, to a sustainable one has been revealed. The necessity to develop a comprehensive approach to the formation of the structural organisation of a sustainable economy in Russia, taking into account the provisions of economic theory and assuming the possibility of managing economic dynamics, implemented through state economic policy, has been established. The structural organisation of the sustainable economy of Russia, including the market environment, state economic policy, state economic strategy, state regulation of the economy, market self-regulation, social production and social reproduction, has been formed. The twofold result of the functioning of sustainable economy in the proposed form is effective use of production factors and economic growth.Conclusions. The substantiation of views, concepts and ideas outlined in the study allowed us to form a dynamic system design of the structural organisation of the sustainable economy of Russia, which is based on certain principles, functions and methods. Thus, in the structural organisation of sustainable economy the role of the principle basis is played by the state eco[1]nomic strategy, organisational and functional — by state regulation, methodological — by market self-regulation.

Aim. To identify problems in ESG rating methodology to develop principles for creating an objective assessment of firms’ sustainability transition efforts.Tasks. To conduct a brief review of previous studies that analyze the objectivity of ESG-rating; to examine the rating methodology from three companies that specialize in rating firms by ESG criteria; to identify the main so-called failures that affect the objectivity of assessment; to formulate principles to improve the objectivity of the rating assessment of firms.Methods. The study considered the methodology of three ESG-ratings: ESG-rating of S&P, the rating of the American-British company Refinitiv and ESG-rating of the Italian company ECPI. The methods of descriptive analysis, comparative analysis, generalization and systematization have revealed the main directions reflected in the rankings, their similarities and differences as well as the reasons and ways of subjective evaluation which negatively influences the quality of the ranking.Results. The author presents the evidence of biased evaluation of the considered rankings, caused by a number of factors, including doubtful parameters, taken for evaluation, the use of biased sources, including data of non-governmental organizations and voluntarily published data on information disclosure. It shows the methodology of calculations, which gives preferences to large businesses, the opacity of the assessment and the ability of experts to adjust information in the process of assessment.Conclusions. In order to build an objective ESG-evaluation, the stability and durability of the methodology should be ensured, and the changes made should not violate the comparability of the results. It is necessary to rely on a fixed list of disclosures subject to audit, to ensure the objectivity of the indicators under review and to take into account the dynamics of the identified contradictions over a long period. The author proposes to introduce a unified assessment methodology at the national level.

Aim. To propose the concept of quantitative accounting of factors of long-term receivables cost reduction and to develop a methodical approach to the realization of the mentioned concept.Tasks. To identify the factors of cumulative decrease in the value of long-term receivables. To propose a methodology of its quantitative assessment for each of the factors. To study the sensitivity of cumulative decrease in the value of long-term receivables to changes in each of the factors.Methods. The research utilized a systematic approach to identifying and assessing the factors of long-term receivables cost reduction. The methods of factor and correlation-regression analysis, as well as analytical dependencies determining quantitative estimates of individual factors were applied.Results. The concept on quantitative accounting of factors of receivables value decrease in the framework of the cumulative reduction factor φ methodology is proposed, where the generalized formula of its decomposition by four factors is given. In the study, the factors of receivables value reduction factors involved in the formula are digitized in terms of the impact on the value of receivables of each of them. In determining the factors K1 and K3, a five-factor regression equation and a two-factor regression equation are constructed respectively. The obtained results can be applied in the concept of development and realization of innovation policy of the enterprise. Two variants of calculation of the K2 factor, which give a quantitative assessment of debt obligations security, are proposed. The formula for calculating the factor K4, which reflects the cost of attracted short-term credit resources to cover cash gaps resulting from accounts receivable, is proposed. As a result of quantitative assessment of influence factors, the formula for calculating the determination of the value of receivables is derived, the application of which will provide a fair result of market value assessment, which will ensure the most effective management of long-term receivables in conditions of economic instability.Conclusions. Qualitative accounting of factors of decrease in the value of long-term receivables necessitates the use of a methodical approach for their quantitative assessment. Practical application of the proposed approach will give the most reliable result of determining the market value of accounts receivable, which, in turn, will allow market participants to improve the efficiency of asset management of the enterprise.

Aim. To study the impact of investment on economic growth and ensuring economic security in modern Russia, developing under the conditions of economic sanctions from the countries of the “collective West”.Tasks. To describe the impact of sanctions on the Russian economic system, to assess their impact on national economic security. To study investment activity in Russia in the medium term, including its transformation in the conditions of non-economic shock caused by sanctions. To offer recommendations for improving the state investment policy.Methods. In preparing the article we used general scientific methods of research (comparative, retrospective, macroeconomic analysis), as well as special methods of economic and mathematical modeling, forecasting, statistical data analysis, and expert assessments.Results. Anti-Russian sanctions have caused a number of new challenges and complex threats to national economic security. The sanctions caused a macroeconomic shock. But, despite the volatility and volatility of GDP, the Russian economy is experiencing a trend of long-term growth, which indicates the presence of sufficiently effective mechanisms for preserving national economic security. At the same time, this growth is rather sluggish, it is necessary to launch mechanisms for its acceleration, which is difficult in the conditions of external sanctions restrictions. The basis for success in economic growth is high investment activity. Its stimulation should become one of the priorities of Russia’s current economic policy. Despite the political and economic turbulence caused by the sanctions and the general contraction of the economy, investments, contrary to expectations, did not decline in Russia in 2022, although their growth rate slowed down. At the same time, the structure of investments has changed unfavorably. The author’s study reveals atypical behavior of investments in Russia under the shocks of 2020 and 2022: the growth rate of investments slowed down, but at the same time they grew in absolute terms in both actual and comparable prices, despite the general crisis in the economy. This creates preconditions for future growth. Apparently, Russian investors did not revise their plans, remaining confident that external sanctions will not only be successfully overcome, but may also give a new impetus to the development of domestic production, as it happened with agricultural production after the food embargo introduced in 2014. This indicates high confidence of national business in the policy pursued by the authorities. In order to maintain the sustainability of socio-economic development and the realization of national economic interests, it is important to achieve a steady decline in investment activity and prevent the curtailment of investment. This is possible only through the creation by the state of such an investment environment, such conditions that are understandable and attractive for the business community and arouse its confidence.

Aim. To substantiate the socio-economic significance of the sanatorium-resort complex in the market “Healthnet”. Tasks. To study the literature devoted to the topic “Healthnet”; to investigate the structure of the market “Healthnet”; to determine the place of sanatorium-resort complex in the market “Healthnet”.Methods. In the course of writing the article the methods of logical and structural analysis, generalization, comparison were applied, official statistics was used.Results. According to the results of the research of subjects, objects and segments of the Healthnet market, the lack of the role of the sanatorium-resort complex, which, being a set of objects and types of medical activities that provide treatment, recovery, prevention and rehabilitation of citizens, contributes to health saving of the population, was revealed. It was determined that the sanatorium-resort complex can be presented both as a consumer of Healthnet products and as a part of the Healthnet market, contributing to the growth of exports of medical services due to the inflow of foreign recreationists.Conclusions. According to the estimates of the World Health Organization, Russia lags behind the leading countries of the world in terms of epidemiological situation, health care costs per capita, GDP per capita, average life expectancy. It is advisable to include target indicators of activity of health resort complex organizations in the current Healthnet Market Roadmap and consider them as full-fledged participants of this market. In case of ignoring the sanatorium[1]resort complex as a part of the market “Healthnet” the set tasks on health protection of the population both before the market itself, and before the state, infrastructural centers and other subjects will be under the threat of non-fulfillment.

This article presents a study of the explanatory power of SKYTRAX's airport rating system, using data from 423 airports for statistical analysis. The study utilizes ordinal regression and Maximum Likelihood Structural Equation Modeling (ML SEM) to propose and test several models. The study results show that only three service quality components based on SKYTRAX have significant explanatory power, i.e., terminal comfort, wayfinding signage, and airports' food and beverage outlets. The study findings have significant implications for airport management and key stakeholders. By prioritizing these service quality components, airport managers can improve operational efficiency and increase service quality, which can attract new investments. The study highlights the importance of addressing the vital elements of airport service quality, which can lead to time and cost savings in problem-solving processes and procedures. The findings also have implications for academia, providing a basis for further research on the importance of airport rating systems for customer satisfaction and service quality.

This study aims at evaluating the performance of the Public Service Obligation (PSO) routes by selecting Greece as a case study since this country makes extensive use of the PSO program mainly due to the geographic discontinuity and remoteness of the islands. The research methodology engaged a two-stage approach. First, DEA models were applied to assess the technical efficiency of the Greek PSO routes. Subsequently, regression analysis was applied to the DEA scores to define the performance determinants. The analysis of the high-performance routes revealed that they either connect densely populated islands to major Greek cities or serve mainland points that are far apart. On the other hand, routes that recorded the lowest scores are those originating from secondary hubs, connecting small islands and/or serving multiple destinations. The regression results point towards more competition. It seems that open routes perform better than restricted ones and subsidies do not have a significant contribution to PSO efficiency. The results of this study may offer useful insights to the academic and aviation community, as well as practical implications to a broader spectrum of stakeholders interested in the evaluation of the EU air transport policies.
