This issue is very relevant today, because the state sets the task of starting to earn to sports organizations and organizers of sports events, bearing in mind commercial sources of income, because in the coming years there will be a phased reduction in funding from the budget, especially if it comes to professional sports. The purpose of this study is to analyze how entrepreneurship in the sports industry is developing today, bearing in mind different types of sports, and why it is necessary to develop specialized entrepreneurship studying programs in sports. Among the main objectives of the study: to show successful examples and practices of entrepreneurship development in different segments of the sports industry and to explain the possibilities of entrepreneurship development in sports, taking into account the emergence and implementation of specialized studying programs, primarily additional education programs. This article presents the author’s own vision of how entrepreneurship is developing today in mass and corporate sports, as well as in the fitness industry. The article uses various research methods, including comparative analysis and statistical methods. The scientific results include an analysis of the potential audience of such specialized studying programs and the direction of development of targeted programs, including various sports and functional areas. The justification of the need for aspiring entrepreneurs to be trained in additional education programs (advanced training and professional retraining) is given. In the next article, the author will try to more specifically form a model of professional competencies for entrepreneurship training programs in sports.","PeriodicalId":269031,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Competition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124386240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A vivid illustration is the situation with the provision of wired Internet services for tenants in shopping and entertainment centers. The relevance of this issue is ensured by the presence of antimonopoly cases, which consider the compliance of the provision of such services with antimonopoly legislation. The purpose of the study is to reveal, using the example of the markets for renting premises in shopping and entertainment centers and Internet communications, how the interpretation of the company’s behavior determines the approaches to assessing the boundaries of relevant markets. For this, alternative interpretations of the relationship and behavior of Internet providers (telecom operators), owners of shopping and entertainment centers and tenants are presented; grounds for the proposed interpretations are given; the consequences of applying alternative interpretations to identifying relevant markets and their further analysis in accordance with the requirements of the legislation are described; the key questions for research are highlighted, which can allow one to compare alternative interpretations and choose the one that best corresponds to the essence of the analyzed economic relations. As a result, we show that the analysis cannot ignore the connection between communication services providers, tenants as purchasers of communication services, and owners of shopping centers. Alternative interpretations of this connection are possible from the point of view of the economic essence of these relations and relevant theoretical concepts, but in any case, its economic nature should be studied, including for the purposes of the correct application of legal norms to assess the state of competition in the affected product markets.","PeriodicalId":269031,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Competition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133820011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The disruption of logistics chains against the background of the first sanctions restrictions, the introduction of protective duties, a comprehensive system of state support for the industry (the “trade-in” program for changing the car fleet) led to new structural and behavioral models of the functioning of markets, which required understanding and selection of an adequate policy of state regulation. The purpose of the study is to consider the strategy of behavior of the dominant player with a pronounced differentiation in pricing policy in relation to different counterparties in a scarce market on the example of an antimonopoly case against a dominant economic entity in the market of solid-rolled wheels with a diameter of 957 mm within the borders of the Russian Federation (2018–2019). The objectives of the study are to consider how the implementation of three important elements of the company’s marketing strategies – price formation, market segmentation based on the Buchanan product concept and the selection of counterparties, as well as methods and technologies of discount policy in conditions of unsatisfied demand, can affect the functioning of a scarce market and affect price growth for two years. In the context of this study, the transformation of the mechanism of price discrimination in scarce markets is presented. It is noted that the behavior of the dominant entity regarding the establishment of a monopolistically high price in a scarce market looks economically unconditioned, the establishment of a differentiated final price for the sale of goods to various buyers at a level higher than the prices of the period preceding the shortage indicates price discrimination of the first and second degree. The analysis of various types of discounts shows that sales promotion is not a necessary marketing tool, as it reduces the monopoly profit of the seller and does not contain motivation for the formation of competitive initiations. The main gain of the consumer is not the volume of potential discounts, but the speed of searching for goods, contracting on any terms, the promptness of concluding transactions and obtaining maximum financial gain in conditions of uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":269031,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Competition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129757126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various types of external trade and economic sanctions imposed by Western countries and the strengthening of the import substitution policy in the Russian economy require a revision of the vectors for the development of electronic industry enterprises. The withdrawal of some foreign companies from the Russian sales market at the same time makes it possible to increase demand for domestic products and increases the requirements for the development and production of electronics in Russia. The analysis of scientific works shows that at the present stage of production development, non-technological innovations, including organizational and managerial ones, are an important component of increasing the competitiveness of industrial high-tech enterprises. The purpose of the study: to determine the level of development of organizational and managerial innovations in the Russian electronics industry. The implementation of this goal required the solution of the following tasks: to define the concept of organizational and managerial innovations in accordance with modern standards, to determine the degree of development of the topic of organizational and managerial innovations in electronics industry enterprises in Russian publications, to compare the levels of implementation of organizational and managerial innovations in the electronics industry and other domestic industries. This paper analyzes the level of implementation of organizational and managerial innovations in the Russian electronics industry. According to the modern 4th edition of the Oslo manual (international standard in the field of innovation statistics), the definition of the concept of organizational and managerial innovations is given. On the basis of statistical data, the level of development of this type of innovation in relation to product and process innovations was determined, and a comparison was made with respect to high-tech and all Russian organizations. Interest in the introduction of organizational and managerial innovations in the global industry has increased significantly in recent years, so understanding the current situation in the development of this type of innovation in the Russian electronics industry can contribute to the development of strategies for the development of this industry.","PeriodicalId":269031,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Competition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129212106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article suggests a variant of its creation that is accessible to any large and market-successful non-state university. Unlike the most famous foreign universities that are in the top 100 [1] and have built their campuses at the expense of their own high incomes, or from Russian federal universities funded from the budget, even the largest domestic private universities do not have the resources to build full-fledged campuses according to existing standards. Therefore, at the first stage, it is advisable for them to focus on the purchase of small country boarding houses from among the departmental rest houses built in Soviet times. The requirements for the organization of the work of such a campus are formulated, including work and rest modes for both students and university teachers. The final part of the article clarifies the educational technologies that are most adapted for the considered variant of the organization of training. The purpose of the article is to argue the expediency of creating suburban campuses as a necessary element of the infrastructure of a large private university practicing entrepreneurship training. To achieve this goal, the following tasks are solved in the study: to formulate and briefly argue the main competitive advantages that the presence of a suburban student campus provides to a modern university, regardless of its organizational and legal status; to propose and justify a low-budget option for creating a suburban campus, available not only to state federal universities using budget allocations for this, but also to private institutions of higher professional education; to formulate the basic requirements for the organization of the campus, as well as for the work and rest regimes of direct participants in the educational process.","PeriodicalId":269031,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Competition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117300157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relevance of this research is driven by the need to competition analysis in the software market affected by the network effects. The purpose of this review article is to justify the need for a compound impact analysis of network effects, critical mass and standardization as an assessment optimization tool of the competition state in the two- sided software market, specifically in the operating systems markets.

New strategic opportunities derived from the high-speed streams of Big Data of the Industrial Internet of Things are changing the boundaries of industries, creating opportunities for new strategic decisions, including in marketing. The use of Industrial Internet of Things technologies in marketing is of interest. The continuous interaction of devices and programs connected to the Internet and controlled by their own intelligent systems gives the marketing system the ability to automatically manage the effectiveness of marketing processes, increases the stability of the system, warns of possible threats from the Internet or new opportunities for the system. The purpose of the article is to improve the IIoT system of enterprise marketing through a systematic analysis of the positive synergistic interactions of its subsystems, determine the feedback of subsystems, and increase the functionality of the system. In the system of organizing marketing activities, a synergistic effect arises from the interaction of subsystems associated with intensive information exchange between distributed devices and business objects of the Industrial Internet of Things, each of which independently manages its own area, determined by its competencies. In the process of work, the tasks of studying the contribution to the effectiveness of marketing of functional subsystems were solved: information technology, intellectual, Internet marketing and information security subsystem. Classical system analysis was used as a research method. The scientific novelty of the work lies in a systematic analysis of the effectiveness of marketing based on the Industrial Internet of Things.

The social significance of sports can significantly influence the readiness of specialists to adapt universal marketing strategies and tools to their activities. Relying on economic support from the government, the management of sports organizations and, above all, federations underestimate the market opportunities and marketing potential of their sports. The article discusses the specifics of assessing the marketing potential of a sport based on the analysis of the characteristics of their presence in the markets that make up the modern sports industry. The purpose of the study is to determine market criteria for assessing the marketing potential of a sport, suitable for practical use by sports federations. The author proposes an original methodology for analyzing the marketing potential of sports, taking into account the presence of sports federations in eight key markets: sports events, services, goods, facilities, personnel, as well as in the sports industry infrastructure market, sponsorship and quasi-sports products.

The purpose of the study is to consider lobbying as a competitive tool for various business sectors in the United States. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: to analyze the features of the economic sphere of US society as a competitive environment; to consider the legal basis for regulating lobbying activities in the United States; to determine the methods of lobbying; to analyze the overall structure of lobbying expenses in the United States and determine the share of business expenses in various sectors; to determine the place of the two leading political parties in the United States – Democratic and Republican – in the process of lobbying the interests of various business sectors and the reasons for such a difference. The study covers the period of the 2020 election cycle in the United States. The problem of lobbying the interests of business sectors is considered on the example of the competition between Donald Trump and Joe Biden in the 2020 US presidential election. The work is based on a dialectical research method. According to the results of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that in the structure of lobbying activities, lobbying for business interests repeatedly prevails over lobbying for the interests of the non-profit sector. Lobbying is a form of competitive struggle, one of the ways to carry out competitive actions, an instrument of competition between various business sectors for the establishment of the most favorable conditions for their sector. According to the results of the 2020 presidential election, the communications and electronics sector won in the person of its key lobbyist, Democratic candidate Joe Biden. During the election campaign, both Trump and Biden used a marketing approach, “selling” their “political product” that expressed the interests of certain business sectors, certain groups of voters whose consumer preferences would allow them to “realize” this “product”. The intersectoral competition of various business sectors harmoniously integrated into the political competition of the two leading political parties in the United States.","PeriodicalId":269031,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Competition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114084190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
