This research attempts to investigate the level of acceptance of economics learning media through movie scenes using the Technological Acceptance Model (TAM) approach. Data were obtained using a Likert scale questionnaire from 396 students of the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education in Surakarta, Central Java, who had taken the learning media course. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with reflective constructs was employed as the analysis method. The variables studied including Perceived Ease of Use (PEU), Perceived Usefulness (PU), Attitude Toward using (ATU), and Behavioral Intention to Use (BIU). The results showed a significant relationship in all direct effects and indirect effects studied. This study also found that the Perceived Ease of Use learning media movie scene had the greatest influence on the construct. The construct was also recognized to have strong predictive relevance to Behavioral intention to use. The findings imply that in order to be approved by teachers, learning media developers must pay attention to teacher perceptions of ease of use. This research contributes to TAM research in the field of education with PLS-SEM analysis to the stage of predictive relevance.

Significant changes in approaches to the monetary regulation of economic stabilization and growth are currently being completed. The processes of change that began under the influence of the global financial crisis have now become inevitable. Determining the main directions of these changes and the possible consequences for small open economies is one of the most important tasks of scientific research. Timely adaptation of national monetary systems in the initial stages of transformation can enable countries to overcome the consequences of the pandemic and make up for lost time. The article analyzes a number of the most characteristic changes in practice and theoretical views on monetary policy. Among them is the change in views on the role and purpose of inflation targeting under the influence of many years of massive emission practices. The identified synchronism of inflation for developed and developing countries gives reason to expect attempts at quantitative easing on the part of developing countries. While they may be postponed due to the acceleration of producer price growth. The tendency to revise the fiscal component in the dualism of fiscal policy to strengthen the targeting of emission is substantiated. The low efficiency of measures of monetary easing and stimulation through the credit channel is noted. The limited impact on the growth of aggregate demand with an increase in the debt burden should lead to a revision of the existing practice of emission and reduction of interest rates. One of the important drivers of changes in monetary regulation is the process of digitalization. Despite certain risks of deficiencies in the effectiveness of central bank monetary policy, the spread of shadow banking, digital currencies and direct lending operations, digitalization is creating new opportunities for financial control and audit. On the basis of the analyzed trends, a conclusion was made about the current tasks of modernization of monetary policy in countries with small open economies, including Ukraine.

Today the modern world is on the verge of a redistribution of transnational corporations, which compete with each other for new spheres of influence, markets of production and outlet, technology and maximum possible profits. Globalization and internationalization of production and capital, privatization, the creation of world political and economic associations, and the liberalization of trade have placed them at the center of modern economic development. The article reveals the issues of personnel management development in transnational corporations of the world economy. On the basis of the research theoretically and practically grounded theoretical and methodological approach to the organization of activities of transnational corporations in the globalization processes of the economy. The practical significance of ways and forms of organization of activities of transnational corporations in ensuring the development of international production, sales, trade and financial complex with a single decision-making center in the host country with its branches, representative offices and subsidiaries is analyzed. Research shows that transnational corporations have an important function in the development of the modern world economy. They directly affect the economies of recipient countries, accelerate the internationalization of economic life, as well as the scientific and technological process. Attracting foreign direct investment gives a country access to the financial resources of TNCs, as well as facilitates its integration into global economic processes and access to foreign markets. Transnational capital has created a new system of international relations, which has led to the formation of supranational institutions of governance. In addition, TNCs are actively influencing the processes of globalization. This article discusses the risks associated with the personnel of TNCs and the ways of economic and social protection of employees. In recent years, the international labour market has used the social package as a form of remuneration for work, which should be broadly understood as the employer's provision of material benefits in the form of fringe benefits, compensation, privileges and social guarantees. The social package can be implemented with the help of existing legislative mechanisms, such as contractual regulation of collective labour relations, normative regulation of labour in local legal acts of business entities, the written form of the employment contract.

The purpose of this article is to clarify the content of the concept of "competitiveness", to develop and test approaches to assess the importance of basic, price and non-price competitiveness of commodity exports to ensure its dynamics on the example of Ukraine. Methodology. The article proposes to expand the content of the concept of "competitiveness" by generalizing the level of compliance of goods (services) with consumer preferences of market participants. This conceptual position is used to enhance the understanding of basic, non-price and price competitiveness of products and to clarify methods for its evaluation. The results of testing the methodology and technique showed that the cyclical process of alternating growth of non-price or price competitiveness of Ukrainian export products is mainly interrupted. The reason for this is the high price competitiveness of raw material exports, which is achieved mainly at the expense of low wages in the economy. On international markets, non-price competitiveness is inherent in a relatively small number of commodity groups of Ukrainian products. These include: insulated wires, cables and other insulated electrical conductors; fiber optic cables; turbojet engines, turboprops and other gas turbines; electric heating appliances and devices; parts of aircraft. Practical implications. It has been substantiated that in terms of finding a new economic growth strategy for Ukraine, the most relevant issues are not the intensification of export activities, but the renewal of the composition of the largest export commodity groups. The leading positions among them should be taken by goods with a large share of added value, increased technological complexity and non-price competitiveness. Value/originality. The beginning of this process will mean the emergence of new qualitative changes in the economy, as well as the effectiveness of the state policy of economic reforms.
