The present research aimed to explore the impact of sales promotions on consumer behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study analyzed consumer reactions to various promotion types such as bonuses, coupons, buy one get one free, vouchers, free samples, and price discounts. The aim was to investigate if these promotions positively influence consumer purchasing behavior and if the pandemic has induced overpurchasing behavior due to panic. During the research, 541 randomly selected respondents from Azerbaijan and Poland were involved and the results showed that sales promotions have a positive effect on the consumer buying behavior and lead to an increase in purchases beyond the consumers’ actual needs. This is particularly true during times of economic uncertainty when consumers are searching for discounted products to save money and minimize household spending.

Introduction. In the dynamic landscape of contemporary business, the traditional marketing concept undergoes critique due to its limitations concerning B2B interactions. The incongruity between theoretical developments and practical market needs has spurred the emergence of supplementary marketing disciplines, such as service marketing, relationship marketing, etc. The fragmentation of marketing theory has necessitated the formulation of a unifying paradigm that encompasses a multitude of aspects and challenges inherent to modern economics. Scholars S. Vargo and R. Lusch have proposed the concept of service-dominant logic as a unifying paradigm that emphasizes the central role of service, the concept of value, and co-creation as opposed to the mere exchange of products. In our view, within the debate regarding the role of service in marketing, attention should be directed toward the fundamental components of service-dominant logic, the role and influence of customers on value creation and service provision. Crucial questions include the alignment of market participants into networked structures (service ecosystems) and the search for sources of competitive advantage amidst rapid commoditization of almost any offering. The hypothesis of the scientific research consists in substantiating the prevalence of the service-dominant logic in B2B marketing compared to the traditional marketing concept and the decisive role of the customer experience as a source of competitive advantage. The purpose of the study is to examine the components of the service-dominant logic, to identify key distinctions from the traditional marketing paradigm, and to substantiate the significance of the customer experience in B2B marketing. The methodology of scientific research is general scientific research methods, including: induction and deduction, comparison, expert analysis, classification and description, evaluation grouping, and comparison methods. Conclusions and prospects for further research. Theoretical provisions of the service-dominant logic and its key distinctions from the traditional marketing paradigm were analyzed. The importance of the customer experience in B2B interactions was substantiated. Further research should focus on empirical validation and implementation issues of service logic, customer experience management and the principles of creation and functioning of service network structures. Keywords: service-dominant logic; customer experience; value co-creation; value proposition; resource integration; service ecosystem.

INTRODUCTION. The architecture of an integrated structure as an organizational and economic form is a set of individual elements organized into a single system by production-technical and financial connections, the specific meaning of which is reflected through specific forms of integration. In terms of business organization, integrated business structures are important, usually aimed at obtaining income, maximizing capital and directing it to the financial and economic goals of such structures. RESEARCH METHODS. The research used methods of comparative analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, monitoring of international best practices in the field of managing the development of the potential of cluster integrated business structures. THE HYPOTHESIS OF THE RESEARCH is that based on the channelization of the best practices of international experience, it is possible to justify the components of the management system for the development of the potential of cluster integrated business structures. PURPOSE of the article is to study the components of the management system for the development of the potential of cluster business structures. RESULTS. The theoretical and methodological basis of management systems for developing the potential of cluster integrated business structures has been studied and improved. In general, the system of management of the development of the potential of the KISB is defined as the activity of the purposeful influence of the managing subject of management on the relations between the participants of the cluster regarding the effective generation, distribution and use of the potential of the KISB through the appropriate management mechanism (methodology, structure, techniques, adjustment of business processes) with with the aim of accumulating the maximum synergistic effect from such activity and its further transformation into value (material, immaterial) for the end consumer.

In the context of the war that erupted in Ukraine in 2022, this issue becomes particularly pertinent, posing a unique challenge for higher education institutions to ensure sustainable development and address social tasks. The challenges arising during wartime demand new strategies and approaches to ensure the continuity of the educational process and support the student community. RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS: The research hypothesis aims to identify effective higher education strategies in Ukraine in the context of armed conflict, focused on ensuring sustainable development and addressing social challenges. THE AIM of the research is to examine the impact of the armed conflict on higher education in Ukraine and develop strategies of social responsibility to address the challenges within this context. METHODS. The research will be conducted through the analysis of statistical data, studying cases of successful rehabilitation of Ukrainian universities during armed conflicts, and considering feedback from experts and involved stakeholders. FINDINGS. The research findings have identified key challenges faced by higher education in Ukraine during times of armed conflict, including restricted access to educational institutions, damage to infrastructure, and changes in learning conditions. A comprehensive set of measures has been proposed to address these challenges, encompassing the development of distance learning platforms, international expert support, and resource mobilization to restore the educational process and ensure the sustainability of higher education in crisis conditions. CONCLUSION. The research findings underscore the necessity and importance of addressing the challenges faced by higher education in the context of the ongoing armed conflict in Ukraine. The proposed strategies and recommendations delineate pathways for improvement and the implementation of socially responsible approaches.

In this study, when carrying out the systematization of scientific concepts and theories, the authors used general scientific research methods, in particular, to reveal the evolutionary foundations of the development of cluster theory, comparative analysis of scientific concepts of both foreign and domestic scientists regarding the development of cluster formations, the formation of cluster-united enterprises, the following empirical methods were used as a method of historical analysis, methods of logical and comparative analysis. Presentation of the main research material. In the course of research and systematization of scientific concepts and theories regarding the formation of cluster-united enterprises, analyzing scientific concepts and theories regarding the formation of cluster-united enterprises, it was highlighted that within the limits of these theories, the concept of a cluster is complemented by such characteristics as systems of generation and dissemination of innovative ideas and experience, which in turn generally affects the modernization of the national economy. The article substantiates that cluster forms of organization of research subjects and organization of production make it possible to facilitate the commercialization of innovations and make it possible to create favorable conditions for the development of new highly specialized innovative and active areas of activity. Conclusions from the conducted research. The article outlines that modern science still lacks a generally accepted understanding of when the first clusters appeared. The evolutionary study of the development of cluster formations and their global connections indisputably points to the growing relationship of cluster-united enterprises, where resources and competences are combined, access to target markets and know-how becomes open, information and experience are exchanged between clusters. Keywords: cluster theory; cluster; cluster formations; clusterization.

INTRODUCTION AND RESEARCH PURPOSE: This research stems from the increasing importance of innovation in higher education and the growing role of virtual connections and collaborative initiatives in shaping the global educational landscape. Building upon prior research in this field, this study aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of how these elements come together to create a more interconnected and inclusive world of education. The central question addressed in this study is: How can innovation in higher education, particularly through virtual connections and collaborative initiatives like VEHUB4YOU, contribute to bridging educational gaps and fostering global unity? To investigate this question, we examine the objectives, methods, and impact of VEHUB4YOU as the subject of our study. HYPOTHESIS: The hypothesis of this research anticipates that innovations in higher education, aimed at using virtual connections and collaborative initiatives, particularly through programs like VEHUB4YOU, have the potential to create a more interconnected and inclusive world of education. We assume that such initiatives not only enhance accessibility and the quality of education but also stimulate innovation, promote knowledge exchange, and foster collaboration among educational institutions, contributing to global unity and the development of the educational sector. RESEARCH METHODS: The research employs a qualitative approach, including a review of existing literature, case studies, and interviews with key participants involved in VEHUB4YOU. This multifaceted methodology allows us to gather comprehensive insights into the program's objectives, implementation, and its impact on higher education within the African context. RESULTS: The study uncovers multifaceted aspects of innovation in higher education, highlighting the evolution of virtual connections in overcoming geographical barriers. It investigates collaborative initiatives as driving forces for positive change, facilitating the creation of inclusive and diverse learning environments. The case of VEHUB4YOU demonstrates how such programs assist educational institutions and individuals in joining global educational networks, thereby enhancing accessibility, fostering collaboration, and driving innovation. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, this research underscores the transformative potential of innovation, virtual connections, and collaborative initiatives in higher education. VEHUB4YOU in Africa serves as an example of how such initiatives can overcome barriers, promote global unity, and contribute to the creation of a more interconnected world of education.

The main aim of the article is to study the theoretical and methodological aspects of managing the competitiveness of agro-industrial enterprises in the conditions of martial law. Research methods were used when writing the article – general, scientific, economic methods of researching economic phenomena and processes: categorical analysis, the method of analysis and synthesis, the graphical and tabular method, the method of structuring and grouping. Presentation of the main research material. The article proves that the urgent issues of ensuring the competitiveness of agro-industrial enterprises, especially in the conditions of a full-scale invasion, are of fundamental importance, since the state and level of the country’s food security and the intensity of post-war recovery depend on the stability of the functioning of both individual agricultural enterprises and the entire system of the agro-industrial complex. It was determined that in the conditions of the martial law economy, the stability of the operation of an agro-industrial enterprise is determined by the effectiveness of managing its competitiveness, namely, the potential and available opportunities for the production and sale of agricultural products, which, according to their basic characteristics, are more attractive to consumers than the products of their competitors. It has been established that the theoretical and methodological aspects of managing the competitiveness of agro-industrial enterprises in the conditions of martial law acquire special importance, since it is the provision of high competitiveness of agro-industrial enterprises that should improve the process of forming a comprehensive agrarian policy, ensure optimal production-territorial relations between the subjects of the agro-industrial complex and prevent the emergence food crisis. The current state of the agro-industrial market was analyzed and the main competitive agro-industrial enterprises of Ukraine were identified as of the end of 2022: Kernel, MHP, Nibulon, Santreyd, ADM Yukreyn, Eridon, Cargill, Astarta, Delta Wilmar, LNZ, Optimus AGRO, Prometey. Conclusions. Because of the study, it was proven that an important aspect in managing the competitiveness of agro-industrial enterprises is their ability to adapt to changing economic conditions, which includes not only the use of competitive advantages, but also the ability to effectively respond to changes in the market and change its strategy in accordance with new conditions. Especially the conditions of martial law. It was found that the competitiveness of agro-industrial enterprises determines their ability to gain advantages in the competitive environment, which is characteristic of the market of agricultural products and services, which covers many aspects, given the current state of war in the country: purposeful state policy; the role of the state in the development of the agricultural sector; product quality; reduction of production costs; state ord
