The Zipf distribution and V. Kristaller’s theory of Central places describe well the initial stage of development of settlement systems through the rank distribution of the population of cities. To complete the description of urban systems, it is proposed to use a model of quantitative description of connections between cities, which assesses the degree of maturity or perfection of the system. Quantitative characteristics of such models can be the degree of accessibility (distance, or travel time between cities) or the degree of attractiveness of cities. The article evaluates the quality of various parameters that can be used to measure the intensity of attraction of large cities.

It is shown that when urban systems transition to an agglomeration type system, the Zipf model does not work, and the distribution of the population of the agglomeration corresponds to the model of rank distribution of connections (RRS) between its elements. This phenomenon is explained by the exit of the labor market outside of each city of the agglomeration into their common market, in connection with which the population of cities becomes a characteristic of daily migration activity, that is, connections between cities.

Based on the developed criteria, it is possible to assess the scale of the employment crisis in small cities based on the rank distribution of the population of these cities in the vicinity of a large city or a combination of several large cities.

The article considers the state of small business in subsurface use by type of economic activity-mining. It is shown that this type of activity is in the top three in the structure of gross value added in the regions. The commercial and budgetary efficiency of an investment project for the development of a small oil field is considered on a specific example. The expediency of abolishing the mineral extraction tax for small hydrocarbon deposits is justified. The directions of development of unclaimed small oil and gas fields are proposed.

The development need an industry methodology for assessing clinical and economic efficiency in the segment of dental practice was reasonable.

Studies have been carried out to identify, the possibility and advisability of applying established theoretical principles and proven methods for assessing the effectiveness of processes and technologies in the dental practice segment.

The most effective methods and techniques for evaluating effectiveness were selected, indicators were developed, and formulas for calculating them in relation to dental practice were developed. The results of testing the developed method on the example of orthopedic planning was presented. The practical significance and feasibility of using the proposed methodology in dental practice was proved.

The active development of digital twin technologies will lead to the appearance of digital copies for organizations, which works in the service sector. This also applies to insurance companies. Over time, new research and development in the field of dynamic management of enterprise architecture will be required. However, there are a low maturity level of both key business processes and enterprise architecture management processes in most Russian and companies that is an obstacle for development in the field of EA dynamic management. Analysis of existing foreign architectural and process frameworks (including industry ones) shows that they are poorly adapted for Russian realities. Russian architectural frameworks have not been developed yet. Cross-industry frameworks and approaches are too abstract, and foreign industry frameworks are based on reference models of business processes that are not relevant for Russian companies. The emergence of a relevant industry framework could help accelerate the development of digital twin technology for Russian insurance companies. Based on the analysis of several cases and existing architectural frameworks, the article proposed the structure of an adaptive architectural framework and built a map of top-level industrial business processes for Russian insurance companies.

Digitalization has changed the environment and nature of human work, offering a network principle of interaction. Despite the obvious changes, corporate universities continue to evaluate staff training through normative indicators: the number of people who have completed training and the hours of full-time training in corporate centers. Is it possible in a modern converged environment to ensure the translation of knowledge into the business environment without changing the corporate University model? From the author’s point of view, no. Corporate universities, just like manufacturing companies, are undergoing a digital transformation, moving into the digital space and implementing the latest technologies in the educational process: virtual and additional reality, chatbots in the learning process, online multimedia courses. The article presents functional and content structure of the corporate University 2.0.

The reduction of the state defense order required the enterprises of the defense-industrial complex to urgently change the process of production in favor of civilian products. However, their main part was not ready to solve this task due to the preservation of the production system characteristic of defense enterprises. According to the study, the introduction of modern principles of enterprise management requires a change in the entire business model, including the production, social and enterprise management subsystems. The article presents the results of the transformation of the business model of one of the defense enterprises, which received a significant increase in the output of civilian products due to the changes.
