3rd International conference on corporation management

Iryna Mihus — 2023-06-29

Most companies are created as corporations, which have their own unique characteristics of conducting business, managing finances, and interacting with stakeholders.

The value of a corporation depends not only on its profitability, but also on other factors, such as the relationship between the state, shareholders, banks and employees.

For the third year in a row, we are holding the International Conference on Corporate Governance in an online format. Every year, the circle of our participants expands and the number of countries and universities they represent grows.

A special feature of the third International Conference on Corporate Management is the participation of the University (Poland) and the University (India).

During the conference, issues of corporate governance were discussed in the context of management, finance, accounting, taxation, law and psychology.

I sincerely thank all scientists for the materials provided and I hope that everyone enjoyed the seminar "Corporate well-being as the energy of business" by Iryna Burlakova, doctor of psychological sciences, professor, certified business coach.

I hope that our International Conference on Corporate Governance (ICCM) will be the place to discuss issues related to corporate governance and stakeholder relations for many years to come.

As the chairman of the 3rd International Conference on Corporate Governance (ICCM), I have great joy and honor to welcome you all to the third edition of our conference!

THE MAIN TRENDS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DIGITAL ECONOMY IN THE EU COUNTRIES

Iryna Mihus — 2023-06-10

The development of information technologies in recent decades requires active reforms in the digitization of all processes and the adaptation of the population to them from individual individuals, enterprises and organizations, as well as from states. Issues related to the emergence of potential threats to the economic security of the state attract special attention in this regard. The purpose of the research is to analyze the main trends in the development of industry 4.0 on an international scale and establish its impact on the economic security of the state by identifying potential threats to its development. The methodological basis of the study is the analysis of the results presented by the European Commission in its report "Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI)", which is developed annually to monitor the digital progress of member states. The article examines the features of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Industry 4.0, which made it possible to clarify the main directions of the development of society: the formation of digital competences and the development of human capital; formation of digital infrastructure; integration of digital technologies in business and everyday life; improvement of digital public services. Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden have the most developed digital economies in the EU, followed by Ireland, Malta and Spain. Romania, Bulgaria and Greece have the lowest DESI scores. Estonia, Finland, Malta and the Netherlands have the highest scores for digital public services in the DESI, while Romania and Greece have the lowest. The main results of the conducted research are the identification and systematization of potential threats to the economic security of the state, the occurrence of which can negatively affect its development. It was established that the main threats to the economic security of the state during Industry 4.0 are: the absence or insufficient level of digital competences; high cost of software development; non-acceptance of digital innovations by society; cyber attacks; sources of personal data; falsification of data, etc. A detailed study of the specified threats and their impact on the economic security of the state can become a direction of further research.

ORGANIZATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT AT ENTERPRISES: THE PATH TO DIGITIZATION OF THE INFORMATION SPACE OF THE ACCOUNTING AND TAXATION

Alexander Bradul — 2023-06-10

The management of information support of the enterprise is closely linked to both the availability of information resources and with the possibility of introducing information innovations in ordering the documentation and information flows of the enterprise. With the help of information technologies, companies try to automate their work at the expense of the latest electronic technologies. In society, documents are considered the main carriers of information. The evolution of electronic document management systems, starting with simple documents, continuing systems on electronic copies of paper originals and reaching the systems in which the original document should be electronic, and a copy of such electronic document may exist on paper. The relevance of this topic is due to the fact that one of the most complex areas for the introduction of automated information systems in Ukraine is document management. The main problems of transition of enterprises, including corporations for electronic document circulation are the reluctance of employees to work with documents according to the usual scheme. And this is a significant problem, because document flow is a system that provides work with documents that come from the outside and prepare within the company, first of all registered, transferred to employees of the organization, help to control the performance of certain work, conduct reference work. The introduction of electronic document management technology at enterprises is an effective tool for managing information support for enterprises, which is a key factor in successful and successful business and provides an opportunity to increase the competitive advantages of enterprises in strict market conditions. Document management is replaced by electronic systems today in the information technology development era.. The recearch describes the essence of document management and the importance of its rationalization in the creation of a transparent information space and to form optimal conditions for working with accounting documents. The purpose of the article is to investigate the processes of organization and procedure for conducting electronic document circulation, legal status and relations with the use of electronic digital signature and to determine the benefits of the system of organization of electronic document circulation using electronic documents. To solve these tasks, a set of general scientific and special research methods, in particular: generalization and comparison - to establish the similarity and differences of the results of research of other authors on understanding of the nature of the categories "document, document management"; graphic - to present information presentation, etc. The results of the study - providing comparative characteristics of the stages of electronic and paper document management, and the algorithm for the introduction of electronic document management at the enterprise has been developed.

DIGITALIZATION AS AN INNOVATIVE MODERN FACTOR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT: PROSPECTS AND THREATS

Volodymyr Panchenko — 2023-06-10

One of the most influential modern trends is the active development of innovations and modern information technologies, which gradually acquire the status of a key driver of the development of economic relations, correspondingly affecting the features of ensuring economic security not only in the context of development prospects, but also on the contrary, regarding the need to form appropriate warning systems and protection against digital threats. The rapid introduction of scientific and technological progress at the enterprise made it necessary to make digital transformation a priority. Every year, it becomes more and more difficult for companies to become competitive and gain a foothold in the market without the use of artificial intelligence and various services. A few dozen years ago, humanity did not think about the need for such a term as "digitalization". However, the development of means of communication and innovative technologies has become a decisive factor for the introduction of digitalization at the enterprise. The digitization process is the implementation of digital innovations and technologies for the automation and optimization of business processes, as well as the improvement of communication channels between the enterprise and its consumer as a result. The aim is to obtain scientifically based economic solutions for the introduction of digitalisation into the management structure of enterprises to optimise investment attraction in the context of financing the innovation activity of enterprises, which determines the relevance of the article. The chapter of monograph analyses the prospects and obstacles for the development of business digitalisation in Ukraine. In particular, significant attention is paid to the use of SWOT analysis for a deeper understanding of the main problems and prospects of digitalisation in the country. The results of the study deepen the theoretical knowledge of the impact of digital technologies on business models. The results of the study can be used by senior management and business developers, as a clear definition, examples and tools facilitate the DT of business models. These stages of digital transformation enable companies to take advantage of the potential of digital technologies (e.g. sensors, big data) and rethink their business model. By applying these stages, companies can optimise their current BM and create a clear competitive advantage.

THE MAIN TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIES AND THE PROSPECTS FOR THEIR USE TO PROTECT FRAUD

Iryna Mihus — 2023-06-10

The monograph examines the main stages of the development of blockchain technologies. The use of blockchain technologies in the activities of various companies is analyzed. The purpose of the study is to analyze the main trends in the development of blockchain technologies and the prospects for their use for fraud protection. The research methodology includes the use of the historical method to study the main stages of the development of blockchain technologies and study the practices of using blockchain by various companies. The research methodology is based on the use of data from the Report to the Nation and the results of other surveys, for a comparative analysis of types of economic fraud by volumes, periods, territorial affiliation and countermeasures. The relationship between the stages of evolution and the levels of the blockchain has been established. The main types of blockchains are systematized (public blockchains; private blockchains; semi-private blockchains; sidechains; permissioned; distributed ledger; shared ledger; fully private proprietary blockchains; tokenized blockchains; blockchains without tokens). The peculiarities of the practical implementation of blockchain technologies in the activities of companies in various sectors of the economy have been studied. A SWOT analysis was conducted that revealed that blockchain technology will undoubtedly continue to evolve, impacting many industries, including government, retail, information technology, travel, healthcare, education, agriculture, and entertainment. The 8 most risky departments in which various types of fraud occur have been identified. It was found that corruption is also the most common in each department. Thus, in the Operations Department, the second most common types of fraud are Billing (16%) and Noncash (16%); in the Accounting department - Check and payment tampering (29%); in the Executive / upper management department - Billing (31%); in the Sales Department - Noncash (18%); in the Customer service department - Noncash (17%); in the Administrative Support Department - Billing (23%); in the Purchasing - Billing department (27%); in the Department of Finance - - Billing (26%). One of the ways to improve the use of blockchain technologies should be: increasing the confidentiality of operations; scaling block chains; establishing compatibility between different blockchain systems; strengthening the security of blockchain operations; an individual approach to the use of blockchain technologies.

CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THE POST-WAR RECOVERY OF UKRAINE'S DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Danyila Oliinyk — 2023-06-10

The policy in information and communication technologies serves as a basis for the digital transformation of the economy and society. It focuses on measures related to information technologies, communication networks, and services, including technological and security aspects of domestic digital infrastructure development. The policy is in the context of the development of trans-European infrastructure. The digital transition is a central point of the new strategy, which involves an international digital partnership to implement the EU4Digital Initiative in Ukraine. The strategy aims to focus on key areas of the digital economy and society in line with EU norms and practices. It also includes the expansion of network infrastructure, uniting research and educational communities, implementing the broadband strategy, strengthening cybersecurity, and increasing trust in the use of digital services. Digital transformation has the potential to drastically change the economy and society. It utilizes ICT technologies, such as cloud services, communication technologies, big data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, cloud, and quantum computing, to drive digital transformation. This approach requires transitioning to more digital and sustainable economic models based on digital infrastructure. However, the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine has slowed down the implementation of these processes. Therefore, it's necessary to identify priority directions for the post-war restoration of the economic landscape. This includes restoring digital infrastructure and identifying the tools needed to achieve this restoration. The purpose of the study is to systematize, coordinate, and prioritize tasks required for developing a strategic plan. The plan aims to restore Ukraine's digital infrastructure amidst war and post-war situations. To achieve this, the study analyzes international experiences and specific measures implemented in EU countries. Based on this analysis, the study outlines practical recommendations for the post-war restoration of damaged and destroyed infrastructure. These recommendations are mutually agreed upon and supported by specific examples to ensure the reliability and stability of the digital infrastructure.

IMPROVEMENT INFORMATION AND DIGITAL COMPETENCE TEACHERS IN THE CONDITIONS OF DIGITALIZATION OF EDUCATION

Olha Pylypenko — 2023-06-10

Digital educational technologies occupy an increasingly important place among others educational technologies. Thanks to their improvement, effective training is possible remote and mixed forms, which have become predominant since the beginning of the quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Modern teachers are tasked with constantly improving their digital skills educational technologies. This is also stated in the Teacher's Professional Standard through revealing the content of the teacher's information and digital competence. Process learning can be made more interesting, varied and intensive due to combining a regular lesson with a computer, tablet or other gadget. It will allow the teacher to transfer part of his work to the gadget. The teacher can speed up the writing of definitions, theorems, and other important parts material, as the teacher does not need to repeat the text several times in this case times (the teacher displayed the text on the screen). And the student of education does not need to wait until the teacher will repeat exactly the fragment he needs. The purpose of the work is to investigate the essence of the digitalization of education, to analyze the current global educational trends and to determine the key directions of digitalization of general secondary education in EU countries and in Ukraine. The main research methods were scientific abstraction, comparative and statistical analyzes, logical generalization, structural-functional and strategic analysis for substantiation and determination of directions of digital development of general secondary education. As a result of research, it will be established that the new concept of the development of the digital economy and society for the coming years assumes that the digitalization of education is a modern stage of its informatization. Digitization of secondary education is formed depending on the trends in the development of digital and IT readiness of society. Building a robust infrastructure for learning begins with an understanding of the goals and desired outcomes that support engaging and empowering learning experiences. When based on learning goals, technology infrastructure decisions become clear. The use of digital technologies is necessary to ensure the educational needs of all participants in the educational process.

MANAGEMENT OF THE ECONOMIC SECURITY OF THE STATE: MODERN TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIONS IN THE DIGITAL ECONOMY

Mykola Denysenko — 2023-06-10

The implementation of the digital economy, especially against the background of the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine (when as a result of the actions of the aggressor, the domestic infrastructure was destroyed: civil, military, social, etc. and the economy suffered significant losses in the amount of at least 700 billion US dollars) is a factor that has a significant impact on the level of economic security of the state in all its components, such as: macroeconomic, financial, foreign economic, investment, scientific and technological, energy, production, demographic, social, food security. In this context, it is advisable to consider the digitalization of the economy through the prism of economic security, taking into account the feasibility of ensuring the sustainable development of the state, which is relevant, taking into account the need to take into account possible resources of various types when studying security as a category, the presence of which in sufficient quantity will allow to achieve such a state, according to which will be provided with an appropriate level of security in order to be able to counteract external and internal threats). Purpose consists in the study, substantiation and development of theoretical approaches to the in-depth study of the digital economy in the context of managing the economic security of the state in the conditions of its reconstruction in the post-war period for the transition of the state and its regions to sustainable development. During the research, a set of methods was used to achieve the goal and solve the tasks set in the work, which ensured the conceptual integrity of the research, in particular: historical and logical; monographic; theoretical generalization; analysis; synthesis; induction, deduction; comparative and statistical analysis; graphic; abstract and logical. Taking into account the modern realities of the functioning of the economy of Ukraine in order to ensure a sustainable trend of economic growth of the state and increase the level of its economic security in the context of its management, which is possible in particular due to the activation of the use of the innovative component of economic development for the transition of the state and its regions to sustainable development. The essence of the digital economy is considered, which, in turn, affects the level of economic security of the state in the context of its management and actualizes the need to consider the digital economy through the prism of its relationship with the economic security of the state, taking into account the innovative component of economic development - an important component of economic growth state. Special attention is paid to the research of the theory of innovations and the main factors affecting innovative activity and problems that lead to the slowdown of the economic growth of the state.

MANAGEMENT OF INNOVATION PROCESSES IN THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITALIZATION OF THE ECONOMY

Yana Koval — 2023-06-10

The process of digitalization is characterized by transformation, the introduction of digital technologies to optimize and automate business processes, improve communication with consumers and increase the efficiency of business activities. Today, the introduction of innovations that ensure business digitalization is a catalyst for economic growth and long-term competitive advantage. The rapid and profound effects of the transition to digitalization will only be possible when digitalization becomes the basis of the life of our society, business, and government agencies. In addition, Ukraine's digital development is about creating market incentives, motivations, demand, and shaping the needs for the use of digital technologies, products, and services among Ukrainian industries, spheres of life, business, and society for their efficiency, competitiveness, and national development. There is a need to organize the company's activities taking into account the peculiarities of the transition to new principles of the digital economy, forecasting possible related problems, as well as developing solutions and proposals to minimize the negative consequences and enhance the main result of the company's activities. A system of effective management of available resources and business processes of an enterprise based on innovative technologies and methods of business process optimization, which are becoming an important management tool through continuous process improvement and optimization, can provide significant competitive advantages. Thus, it is advisable to analyze the system of managing innovation processes in the business environment in the context of the digitalization of the economy. The purpose of the study was to study the features of innovative process management in the business environment in the conditions of digitalization of the economy. The results of the study show that a favorable innovation environment should be formed proportionally. The disproportion of the innovation environment towards content, technology, or competencies leads to unfavorable conditions for innovation, as well as the emergence of an "IT trap" on the path of a business entity to the digital economy. In view of the above, it is worth noting that the digitalization of society is expanding the range of subjects of innovation activity, including Internet users. The innovative potential of individuals is currently underestimated, and it is enormous.

The development of innovations and financial technology in the digital economy

Mykola Denysenko — 2023-06-10

One of the main trends in the development of modern society is the penetration of information technologies into various spheres of human activity. Informatization is becoming such an important factor in increasing labor productivity and improving the quality of life that the changes taking place are considered by researchers as the onset of a new era of economic development, which is characterized in the literature by the term "digital economy".

Despite the large-scale research conducted by scientists and experts, the problems of the digital economy constantly arouse lively interest.

The first section "THE DIGITAL ECONOMY: DEFINITIONS, STRUCTURE AND FEATURES" examines the issue of modern trends in the development of innovations in the digital economy through the prism of the management of the economic security of the state; the main trends of the development of the digital economy in the EU countries; certain aspects of the post-war recovery of Ukraine's digital infrastructure; formation and development of digital competencies in the conditions of digitalization of society.

In the second section "THE DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIONS IN THE DIGITAL ECONOMY" the issue of prospects and threats of digitalization as an innovative factor of modern business development is investigated; management of innovative processes in the business environment in conditions of digitalization of the economy; organization and implementation of electronic document flow at enterprises as a way to digitize the information space of accounting and taxation; increasing the information and digital competence of teachers in the conditions of digitization of education.

The third section "THE DEVELOPMENT OF FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY IN THE DIGITAL ECONOMY" examines the development of innovative business companies and the fintech industry in the digital economy; advantages and disadvantages of blockchain technology in the digital economy; the main trends in the development of blockchain technologies and the prospects of their use for fraud protection.

We hope that our monograph will help to take a comprehensive look at the problems and prospects of the development of the digital economy.

FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL COMPETENCIES IN THE CONDITIONS OF DIGITALIZATION OF SOCIETY

Zinaida Zhyvko — 2023-06-10

The active development of the digital economy in all countries of the world presupposes the availability of specific digital competencies among employees. The purpose of the study is the formation and development of digital competences, which the digital society requires from the population. The research methodology involves the use of various methods and techniques, including: the historical method - for researching the development of digital competencies; graphic method - for a schematic representation of research results; comparative method - for comparing competencies in different countries; methods of analysis and synthesis - to create the Levels of digital competence proficiency scale and others. Researched the classification that exists in the EU contains three main categories of DSC for students / citizens: digital competence; special digital skills; digital skills for ICT professionals. The main competence areas of DigComp have been systematized. A Model of formation and actualization of needs for the development of digital competencies has been developed, which includes the following components: needs, conditions, motives and incentives, voluntary and coercive measures aimed at the formation and actualization of these needs. The main strategic directions for the development of digital competences in the conditions of digitalization of the economy have been developed. A general scheme for assessing the impact of digitalization of the economy on the demand and supply of jobs is proposed. The methodological approaches can help find answers to special and specific questions, in particular about the impact of digitalization of the economy on competencies and their combinations, the emergence of new professions, understand the expectations of the labor market by studying its demand for professional skills rather than skills listed in standard job descriptions, as well as develop substantiated proposals for improving labor market and field policies in Education.

BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIES IN DIGITAL ECONOMY: ADVANTAGES AND CHALLENGES

Volodymyr Marchenko — 2023-06-10

Blockchain technology is known as one of the most transformative technologies of recent years, revolutionizing digital transactions and data storage. Originally developed as the underlying technology for Bitcoin, blockchain has since found numerous applications beyond cryptocurrencies, such as in supply chain management, identity verification, and smart contracts. In the digital economy, blockchain has the potential to significantly impact a wide range of industries and business models, from finance to healthcare and e-commerce. Blockchain issues have been developed by researchers who have focused on blockchain as the latest digital technology capable cause profound changes in society and are, to some extent, debatable. In particular, the work examines how blockchain and decentralized platforms have the potential to be powerful tools for managing large-scale social interactions and disrupting traditional power structures. However, it also cautions that the dominance of private interests within these distributed ecosystems could lead to the emergence of a stateless global society, posing significant risks. The purpose of the work is to explore the potential applications and impacts of blockchain technology in the digital economy, and to identify the opportunities and challenges that arise from the adoption of this technology in various sectors such as finance, healthcare, supply chain management, and intellectual property. Additionally, the work aims to provide insights into the role of blockchain technology in promoting digital transformation and innovation, and to assess the potential benefits and risks associated with the use of this technology in the context of the digital economy. It has been established that the use of blockchain in intellectual property can change the way creative works are protected, managed and monetized. It found that blockchain technology can be used to provide secure and transparent ownership records, automate licensing and royalty payments, and facilitate the identification of infringing uses. The main problems and limitations created by the use of blockchain technology are systematized: scalability, compatibility and regulatory regulation. As the technology continues to develop and evolve, it is imperative that these challenges are addressed in order to realize the full potential of blockchain. We believe that while blockchain technology is still in its early stages of development, it has the potential to transform various industries by providing secure, transparent and efficient data management solutions.

Enterprise security management

Zinaida Zhyvko — 2023-06-01

In recent decades, the use of the concept of “security” has expanded significantly. Security issues are the subject of the increased attention of scientists, politicians, and public figures. And this is not accidental but is explained by the peculiarities of the current state of social development. Back in the mid-80s of the last century, a new sociological theory emerged, according to which in the last third of the XX century humanity entered a new phase of its development – the risk society. It was supported by several foreign and domestic experts in the field of risk, believing that the next stage would be a risk management society. In a broad sense, the risk is combined with danger, the probability of an undesirable event occurring. Therefore, it is clear that, to a large extent, ensuring security is risk management.

According to the Great Explanatory Dictionary of the Modern Ukrainian Language, “security” is a state when nothing threatens someone for some reason. Following the Explanatory Dictionary of V. Dahl, secure means not dangerous, not threatening, not harmful, preserving, faithful, and reliable.

Security – the absence of danger; preservation; reliability. To ensure safety means to save, to ensure the absence of danger.

Thus, in the absolute sense, the meaning of the word “security” is a state with no dangers. However, this is hardly possible in the real world.

Here are some definitions found in the scientific literature.

Security is the ability of an object, phenomenon, or process to retain its essence and main characteristics under the conditions of a purposeful, destructive impact from outside or within the object, phenomenon, or process itself.

Security – protection against threats at the system level.

The security of the object is the protection of vital interests of the object from both internal and external threats.

Security is defined primarily as measures or actions that ensure prevention and prompt response to relevant threats for the sake of safe functioning.

Therefore, today the concept of “security” is interpreted not only as the absence of dangers and threats.

Security is a state of protection of an individual, society, or state from external and internal dangers and threats, based on the activities of people, society, the state, and the world community of peoples to identify (study), prevent, mitigate, eliminate (liquidate) and repel dangers and threats capable of destroying them, depriving them of fundamental material and spiritual values, inflicting unacceptable (inadmissible objectively and subjectively) damage, blocking the way for survival and development.

Economic security is the most important qualitative characteristic of an economic system, which determines its ability to maintain normal operating conditions; sustainable resource provision and development, as well as consistent implementation of economic interests.

In the scientific literature, the concept of “security” is often associated with the concept of sustainability, and stability. Sustainability is a necessary condition for the security of economic systems.

The concept of “security” is also interconnected with the concept of “development”. In a general sense, development is an irreversible, purposeful, regular change in matter and consciousness. The development of the economic system is impossible without its security.

In the textbook “Enterprise Security Management” it is proposed to consider some issues that are important for providing the enterprise, its staff and will help create the basis for the formation of an enterprise management system.

The purpose of ensuring the economic security of the enterprise is to achieve high efficiency and stability of its operation and create prerequisites for further development through the timely identification, localization, and prevention of external and internal threats.

While preparing the textbook, the educational and methodological literature on the economic security of an enterprise, personnel security management, security of mass events, and competitive intelligence was used.

As Chair of the 2nd International Conference on Relationship between public administrationand business entities management (RPABM) it is my great pleasure and honor to welcome you all to the second edition of our conference!

Надання безоплатної правової допомоги в Україні: адміністративно-правові засади

Volodymyr Marchenko — 2022-06-28

Ще донедавна юридичні консультації, захист та представництво для багатьох громадян України були складно досяжною послугою. Багато українців, зокрема з числа вразливих верств населення, просто не мали змоги оплачувати послуги адвоката або ж були позбавлені доступу до правової допомоги, що зумовлювало неможливість фахового представництва в суді. Така ситуація створювала нерівні умови та не сприяла довірі громадян до державних установ загалом та, зокрема, вірі у справедливість системи правосуддя, що є важливим для розвитку ефективних механізмів реалізації демократії.

У Резолюції 1466 (2005) Парламентської Асамблеї Ради Європи «Про виконання обов’язків та зобов’язань Україною» було закріплено зобов’язання щодо покращення доступу до правосуддя шляхом запровадження системи безоплатної правової допомоги (БПД) у відповідності до стандартів Ради Європи та практики Європейського Суду з прав людини.

З ухваленням Закону України «Про безоплатну правову допомогу» в червні 2011 року Україна взяла на себе зобов’язання щодо правового захисту вразливих верств населення і покращення доступу до правосуддя шляхом надання безоплатної правової допомоги. Закон був реалізований поетапно: з моменту набрання ним чинності (8 липня 2011 року) усі особи, які перебувають під юрисдикцією України (включно з іноземцями та особами без громадянства), отримали можливість реалізувати право на безоплатну первинну правову допомогу, з 1 січня 2013 року доступ до безоплатної вторинної правової допомоги отримали затримані, арештовані, підозрювані та обвинувачені, а з жовтня 2014 року – деякі категорії осіб, засуджених до позбавлення чи обмеження волі. З 1 липня 2015 року безоплатну вторинну правову допомогу отримують всі суб’єкти відповідного права, визначені Законом.

Не дивлячись на те, що система безоплатної правової допомоги функціонує близько семи років, практика свідчить, що вона перебуває на етапі становлення, зокрема не досягнуто рівня європейських стандартів забезпечення доступу особи до правосуддя та якості правових послуг. Відповідно описувана сфера в окресленому аспекті потребує удосконалення, а саме: 1) переорієнтації системи БПД з надання правової допомоги окремим фізичним особам на посилення правової спроможності та правових можливостей територіальних громад; 2) створення ефективної системи управління правовими знаннями та розвиток людського потенціалу правничої спільноти та партнерських мереж системи БПД; 3) децентралізації системи БПД у цивільних та адміністративних справах, а також пілотування моделі офісів громадського захисту у кримінальних провадженнях; 4) розбудови комплексної інформаційно-аналітичної системи забезпечення надання безоплатної правової допомоги тощо.

Окремі аспекти описуваної проблематики досліджували: М. М. Антонович, Є. Ю. Бова, О. Д. Бойков, Т. В. Варфоломеєва, Є. В. Васьковський, Т. Б. Вільчик, О. О. Воронов, О. П. Галоганов, О. О. Говоруха, В. Г. Гончаренко, А. В. Козьміних, І. М. Козьков, В. С. Личко, Р. Г. Мельніченко, К. С. Пащенко, С. В. Прилуцький, М. І. Рішко, Н. Ю. Сакара, О. Д. Святоцький, Є. Г. Тарло, Л. В. Тацій, П. В. Хотенець, Ю. Т. Шрамко, О. Г. Яновська та інші науковці. В свою чергу представники адміністративно-правової науки майже не приділили увагу адміністративно-правовим засадам надання безоплатної правової допомоги, дослідження даного питання мають фрагментарний характер та переважно обмежуються сферою діяльності суб’єктів надання такої допомоги (публікації О. В. Анпілогова, О. М. Бандурки, А. О. Галая, О. Ю. Синявської, К. О. Струкової).

Більше того, у зв’язку з прийняттям змін до Конституції України щодо правосуддя (Закон України від 2 червня 2016 року № 1401-VIII), особливого значення набула норма наступного змісту: «Виключно адвокат здійснює представництво іншої особи в суді, а також захист від кримінального обвинувачення». Очевидно, що названі зміни значним чином позначилися на організаційно-правових основах надання безоплатної правової допомоги.

Таким чином, недостатня розробленість на теоретичному рівні, наявність практичних правових питань, а також необхідність проведення комплексного дослідження проблем адміністративно-правових засад надання безоплатної правової допомоги в Україні обумовили вибір теми дисертації.

Отже, розробка проблематики адміністративно-правових засад надання безоплатної правової допомоги в Україні набуває нового теоретичного і прикладного змісту. Саме розкриттю сутності та особливостей адміністративно-правових засад надання безоплатної правової допомоги в Україні і присвячена дана робота.

2nd International conference on corporation management

Iryna Mihus — 2022-05-19

The most companies are created as corporations, which have their own unique features of doing business, financial management and interaction with stakeholders. The value of a corporation depends not only on its profitability, but also on other factors, which are the relationship between the state, shareholders, banks and employees.

For the second year in a row, we are holding the 2nd International Conference on Corporate Management in an online format. Every year, the circle of our participants expands and the number of countries and universities they represent grows.

This year, the conference became not only international, but also interdisciplinary, as it discussed issues of corporate governance in the context of not only finance and management, but also in the context of economic security, law and psychology.

I sincerely thank all the scientists for the submitted materials and I hope that everyone liked the seminar "Corporate well-being as the energy of business" by Irina Burlakova, Doctor of Science (Psychology), Professor, Professor of the Department of Psychology and Pedagogy, Dnipropetrovsk State University of Internal Affairs, Ukraine.

I hope that our International Conference on Corporate Management (ICCM) will be an annual place to discuss issues related to corporate management and stakeholder relations.

As Chairman of the 2^nd International Conference on Corporate Management (ICCM), I have the great pleasure and honor to welcome you all to the first edition of our conference!

The economics of uncertainty: content, evaluation, and regulation

Iryna Radionova — 2022-02-18

From the title of this monograph, it is clear that it discloses the issue of uncertainty in the economic sphere. The meaning of the authors of this work in the concept of «economic uncertainty» is revealed by the actual content (structure) of the monograph. A special (1st) section of the monograph is devoted to the interpretation of this content. But, despite the obvious things, there is another unobvious aspect of uncertainty in the monograph. It was mentioned by the world-renowned Ukrainian economist M.I. Tuhan-Baranovskyi in the early twentieth century. In the fundamental work «Fundamentals of Political Economy», explaining what economic activity is, he noted the following: «… Ambiguity at this ascending point should bring uncertainty to everything else». That is, uncertainty is presented here as a consequence (result) of ambiguity. The latter is synonymous with ignorance, inexplicability, and lack of recognized principles of cognition and interpretation. Ambiguity continues to produce economic uncertainty. In particular, this relationship between ambiguity and economic uncertainty is realized in the Ukrainian economy. Therefore, by seeking to understand, explain, and apply certain principles of research of the national economy, the authors of this monograph eventually help to limit uncertainty.

In fact, the construction, i.e. the structure of this work, reflects the approach developed by the authors regarding economic uncertainty content explanation. Therefore, we focus readers’ attention on this construction.

First, the structure of the monograph presents two levels of manifestation, respectively, the levels of research and awareness of economic uncertainty: general and special. The general level, which concerns the economy as a whole and is related to the system of public management, is mostly presented in chapters 1-7. Instead, the special one, which is manifested in the organization of certain types of business activities and in its specific areas, is presented mainly in chapters 8-14. It is clear that such a division into general and special is quite conditional. After all, the connection, dependence and mutual penetration of these two levels are indisputable. Differentiation of such levels of uncertainty, on the other hand, becomes necessary, at least in terms of the necessity to apply a recognized ontological (cognitive) principle.

Second, the monograph is constructed in such a way that its chapters reflect the real and current manifestations of economic uncertainty, on the one hand, and the tools of its (uncertainty) research and limitations, on the other.

The following manifestations of uncertainty relevant for the Ukrainian economy are presented in the monograph:

macro-financial imbalances for which prevention and effective response structures have yet to be built (chapter 3);
contradictory educational policy, which does not ensure the accumulation of human capital, in accordance with the needs of the economy and society (chapter 4);
permanent reproduction of the shadow economy with its inherent illegal proceeds of crime (chapter 7);
unnaturally limited and, therefore, insufficient competitiveness of the entire national economy, individual industries and enterprises (chapter 9);
excessive tax surplus, which discourages producers and taxpayers (chapter 11);
ineffectiveness, mostly, formality of efforts to move from a traditional to an innovative model of the economy (chapter 12);
social exclusion – the lack of necessary involvement of certain groups and strata of society in economic, social, and political life (chapter 13);
artificially slow formation of the infrastructure of one of the most important sectoral markets in the national economy – the real estate market (chapter 14).

The following tools have been partially applied as well as the possibility of using them in the analysis and in response to scale changes have been studied:

foresight as a way of modeling the future and implementing its individual elements in today’s life of communities and society (chapter 2);
large databases (Data Base) as a tool for making management decisions on the basis of identifying non-obvious (hidden), but actually existing significant dependencies (chapter 5);
methods of qualitative assessment of corporate management of joint-stock companies and their combination with methods of quantitative assessment (chapter 6);
comprehensive methods of analyzing the efficiency of enterprises with an emphasis on assessing uncertainty (risks) (chapter 8);
relevant methods of real estate appraisal, able to ensure maximum consideration of the specifics of a particular stage of economic development (chapter10).

This study focuses on one of the industry markets. This is the real estate market, the organization of which is covered in three chapters (chapters 4, 10, 14). This emphasis is explained not only by objective, but also by subjective circumstances. The four co-authors of this monograph not only teach disciplines related to the real estate market in the educational programs of the Department of Theoretical and Applied Economics of KROK University, but also have extensive working experience in this market.

The monograph is the result of a collective study on «The national economy and the economies of sectoral markets under the conditions of institutional uncertainty» №0120U100086.

The authors of the monograph are grateful to KROK University for the opportunity to publish the research results in the form of a monograph.

We hope for the response of the scientific and student community, management specialists to the publication of this monograph. We expect a critical but fair assessment of the results of the author’s team. We would appreciate such an assessment and suggestions for improving the conten.

A STRATEGY TO INCREASE THE COMPETITIVENESS OF АGRO-INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES

Anatolii Kobets — 2021-12-01

The need for stabilization and development of agro-industrial enterprises, especially of the poultry processing sector, market saturation with domestic and imported goods, Ukraine's entry to the WTO as well as increased consumer requirements for quality and safety of products increase competition in the market of poultry meat. This necessitates the implementation of modern technologies into the market behavior of enterprises processing poultry meat, and the elaboration and implementation of a strategy aimed at achieving their strong competitive advantages should be an integral condition for the development of the enterprise.

Creation of competitive advantages is the purpose of the enterprise’s strategic management, the determining factor of increasing its competitiveness. For this purpose, domestic enterprises both in domestic and foreign markets need effective tools of strategic management, which are used in the process of building a scientifically based strategy to increase their competitiveness. Its development, taking into account the operating specifics and factors ensuring competitive advantages of enterprises processing poultry meat, requires a systematic reasoning for the choice of the mechanism of its formation.

In literature on economics, considerable attention is given to the problems of securing the competitive advantages of enterprises. Important scientific contributions to the development of the theory and practice of competitiveness, as an element of the enterprise’s strategic management, was made by well-known foreign and domestic scientists, in particular G. Azoiev, S. Anokhin, O. Arfiev, I. Bily, I. Blank, Y. Brigkham, V. Vasylenko, O. Vykhansky, V. Ivanov, S. Kozlovsky, L. Kostyrko, S. Pokropyvny, M. Porter, R. Solow, A. Thompson, J. Schumpeter, A. Yudanov and others.

To the study of theory, methodology and formation of strategies to achieve competitive advantages, especially in agricultural enterprises in the conditions of increased competition, are devoted works by T. Akymova, V. Andriychuk, L. Berezina, I. Vinichenko, O. Honcharenko, P. Makarenko, M. Malik, L. Melnyk, L. Marmul, L. Mykhailova, O. Oliynyk, P. Sabluk, O. Skydan, I. Cherven, O. Shpychak, O. Shubravska, O. Ulianchenko and others.

However, the issues of a systematic approach to building a strategy to increase the competitiveness of agro-industrial enterprises remain insufficiently investigated, as well as the research into its role of ensuring sustainable development of business entities, the use of internal marketing tools for the development of a company’s key competencies, the development of management tools and effective ways of ensuring the effective managerial process, taking into account the specific economic activities of enterprises engaged in poultry meat processing. The above-mentioned necessitated a separate scientific research.

2nd International conference on economics, accounting and finance

Iryna Mihus — 2021-11-25

The economic system is the basis of development of any state. And economic relations between different actors directly affect the development of society as a whole.

The economic crises that arise from time to time in different countries cannot be stopped without knowledge of economics, accounting and finance. Our conference is dedicated to these issues.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are holding our conference online for the second year in a row.

During the 2nd International Conference on Economics, Accounting and Finance (ICEAF), keynote speakers were scholars who spoke about the possibilities of using blockchain technologies in finance, public administration, intellectual property protection and education.

The traditional continuation of the conference was the workshop "Blockchain technology and its role in economic and social processes" by Vasyl Moskov, Ph.D. professor, rector of Academy of International Business and Technology (Prague, Czech Republic).

II International Conference on Academic integrity in public administration and educational institutions

Iryna Mihus — 2021-05-28

Everyone knows that the educational environment sets requirements, rules, and procedures for conducting research and starting students. It is the stakeholders of the educational environment (the state, employers, parents, students) who determine how the learning process should be built and what competencies a student should possess after graduation. All stakeholders agree that the educational process must be built on the principle of academic integrity.

What is academic integrity?

The answer to this question was sought by the participants of the conference.

As it turned out, academic integrity is connected not only with issues of prevention of plagiarism in scientific works, but also with teaching at school, presentation of results of scientific works by researches, relations between teacher and student, state regulation of economic, educational and other relations.

The International Conference on Academic Integrity in Public Administration and Education (APAEI) is being held for the second time and is an annual place to discuss academic integrity.

As Chair of the International Conference on Academic integrity in public administration and educational institutions (APAEI) it is my great pleasure and honor to welcome you all to the first edition of our conference!

Corporate management: from creation to success

Iryna Mihus — 2020-11-06

Corporate governance is the most attractive research topic due to its multi-vector and constant relevance. Representing a certain contradiction of understanding and causing disputes about belonging to certain knowledge (economic, social, psychological or legal sciences), corporate governance is to some extent investigated by each of them.

Despite extensive research previously conducted by scientists and experts, problems related to corporate governance are constantly generated by modernity and again and again arouse lively interest.

The authors of the monograph try to solve many problems in the field of corporate governance by studying the managerial, financial and psychological aspects.

Management aspects include a comparative analysis of existing models and categorical apparatus of corporate governance; establishing the peculiarities of the development of corporate governance in corporations and in general; formation of global infrastructure in the context of social, economic and environmental intentions.

Due to the study of financial aspects of corporate governance, the authors of the monograph proposed the institutional infrastructure for the formation of financial support for corporations; the factors of development of digital transformation of banking and transport infrastructure of Ukraine are singled out; proposed to use "green" finance as a marker of modern corporate governance.

An integral part of corporate governance is the psychological climate, which directly affects the well-being of corporations and their employees through a variety of activities, including training.

We hope that our monograph will help to look at corporate governance comprehensively, covering its various aspects.

The materials of the monograph can be useful for economists, managers, financiers, practitioners, scientists, doctoral students, graduate students, students and all others interested in corporate governance.

Sincerely, Editor-in-Chief, professor Irуna Mihus

Public administration in the digital economy

Iryna Mihus — 2020-11-06

In the conditions of transformation of social and political processes the public administration differentiates and integrates problems which form its structural maintenance - activity of the power and its relations with a civil society; political institutions, processes and systems; technologies of political activity and motivation of political behavior of leaders; political aspects of international relations; national security and the establishment of supranational power structures in the nation-state. This is especially acute in the world of the COVID-19 pandemic.

One of the ways to solve this problem, proposed by the authors of the monograph, is the digitalization of public administration by ensuring its transparency, legal responsibility for decisions and, at the same time, security.

The authors studied modern models of public administration in different countries and in Ukraine, as well as the features of the mechanisms of public administration in certain areas of the economy: education, transport and more.

The study of information technology in public administration has contributed to the development of mechanisms for information support of public administration in general and in individual sectors of the economy.

Equally important are the legal aspects of public administration that support the legitimacy of the relationship between government and society.

We hope that our monograph will help to comprehensively consider public administration in the digital economy, highlighting its various aspects.

The materials of the monograph can be useful for civil servants, economists, managers, financiers, practitioners, scientists, doctoral students, graduate students, students and anyone else who is interested in public administration.

Sincerely, Editor-in-Chief, professor Irуna Mihus
