Applied aspects of researching the raw materials potential of building complex organizations

DOI: 10.33917/mic-1.102.2022.66-74

The purpose of the article is determined by the need to research the raw materials potential and its impact on the growth and development of building organizations. The article determines that the efficiency of raw materials used in the activities of building complex organizations is a reserve for development of the building potential as a kind of economic activity and stimulates particular actions to fulfill the national objective «Comfortable and safe environment for life». The hypothesis is stated that the identification of the potential types for growth and development of building complex organizations as an economic system acquires real meaning only when there is a possibility of adequate measurement of the parameters of growth and development of the economic system. Proposed signs of parameters identification for measuring the growth of the economy of building organizations reflect the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the growth of their economy. The potential types that determine the functioning and development of building organizations have been broadened by supplementing the existing classification with the potential for administrative transformation in the construction industry. Allocation of the potential of administrative transformation into an independent type of the raw materials potential is justified from the perspective of its impact on the entire raw materials potential of the building organization and the existing backgrounds in the construction sector.

Analysis of mergers and acquisitions (corporate control market) of Rosatom State Corporation

DOI: 10.33917/mic-6.101.2021.40-50

This article discusses the issues of mergers and acquisitions (corporate control market) of the Rosatom State Corporation. It has been established that the Rosatom State Corporation is a multidisciplinary holding company combining assets in the energy, mechanical engineering, and construction. After analyzing the profitability indicators, the authors note a drop in all profitability positions: sales by net profit (ROS), assets by net profit (ROA) and equity by net profit (ROE) for 2019. The revealed trend means that the efficiency of the company’s use of assets has dropped significantly, which indicates the ineffective use of financial resources and the distraction of managers from the main strategy of the state corporation (increasing resources). Recommendations for improving the corporate governance of the state corporation «Rosatom» are proposed, aimed at orienting management personnel to the main strategy of the corporation, delineating the official powers of managers and increasing the transparency of corporate reporting.

Maximizing margin profit at known demand curves

DOI: 10.33917/mic-6.101.2021.34-39

The article deals with optimization of enterprise pricing management. An economic and mathematical model has been developed that allows you to investigate the dependence of margin profit on the price of goods with a certain dependence of the volume of demand for it on the established price. Based on the study of the model, a theoretical estimate of the optimal level of the price of the product was obtained, which provides the enterprise with the maximum margin profit from its sales. It is proposed to generalize the model in case of simultaneous sales of several goods. A formalized setting of the task of joint optimization of prices and deliveries of several types of products is presented, with restrictions on the possibility of deliveries and financing of variable costs of the enterprise.

Social responsibility, competitiveness of a company and value creation

DOI: 10.33917/mic-4.99.2021.63-70

Many companies continue to consider value creation too unilaterally, aiming to maximize short-term financial results and ignoring the influence of a wider set of factors, which determine long-term competitiveness. Recognition of the need for a new paradigm of competitiveness, based on the complex approach, taking into account financial and non-financial goals, already exists among strategic thinkers and successful business-leaders, there are promising elements of the new model emerging in practice. Still for many companies the issues of social responsibility remain optional, dispensable to be included in strategic agenda. Efforts in this direction remain on the periphery, not in the center of managers’ attention. This article considers the relation between social responsibility, competitiveness of a company and value creation.
