Is it Dawn Soon, Comrade? Emerging Positive Changes in the Domestic Appraisal Industry

DOI: 10.33917/es-3.195.2024.90-101

The article examines key trends in the development of the Russian appraisal industry in 2023–2024, analyzes problem areas and outlines the points of growth. The author relies on the results of an annual study of the valuation services market, which is conducted by the Rating Center of the Institute for Economic Strategies in order to study the ability of industry companies to adapt to current realities and to identify leaders capable of creating and exploiting high strategic potential. When forming a company profile and constructing a scenario forecast of the company’s strategic potential dynamics, in addition to quantitative indicators, qualitative indicators are analyzed, including the level of the services differentiation, the quality of goal setting, involvement in the activities of professional communities, the company’s attitude to the external environment — from participation in charity programs to attention to details that form the image.

Comprehensive Approach to Harmonizing the Problem of Sustainable Development of the «Climate — Nature — Society» System

DOI: 10.33917/es-3.195.2024.114-119

The author examines transformation of the “climate-nature-society” system (CNSS), identifying potential directions for sustainable development and improving the well-being of the Russian population. In this context, an example of the forestry complex shows the key role of the best available technologies in creating social production, minimizing losses, waste and negative impacts on the environment. It is proven that effective implementation of conceptual platforms within the digital economy depends both on the legislative framework and on national policies on environmental management issues that are consistent with the trend of CNSS stable development.

Staff Motivation and Stimulation — the Most Important Organizational Reserve for Increasing Production Efficiency

DOI: 10.33917/es-3.195.2024.126-137

In modern conditions the primary tool for attracting qualified specialists, minimizing staff turnover and stabilizing a workforce, maintaining and developing staff’s desire to improve professional knowledge and skills is the system of motivation and stimulation of their work activity. That is why the present article, which dwells on choosing the most suitable system for enterprises and organizations of the defenсe industry, based on specific industry characteristics, seems undoubtedly relevant. In the work: 1) literary sources dealing with the issues of labour stimulation are analyzed and summarized; 2) an analytical study was carried out using real data on dependence of the most important indicator of the production and economic activity – revenue from product sales – on the qualitative professional and age characteristics of the business entities’ personnel; 3) a comparative assessment of the personnel motivation and incentive systems used in developed foreign countries is given (information base, mechanisms for forming personnel remuneration rates, advantages, disadvantages, possible areas of application); 4) a justification is given for the expediency of using the Japanese system of lifelong employment, seniority and organization of groups from enterprises’ employees for searching and resolving the “bottlenecks” in the Russian military-industrial complex as the basic fundamental elements; 5) proposals (a set of organizational and economic measures) were formulated to attract young specialists into defence-industrial complex.

Personnel Problems of the Military-Industrial Complex: Approaches to Solution

DOI: 10.33917/es-3.195.2024.138-143

The importance of considering this problem is due to the fact that with the beginning of a special military operation, the volume of state defence orders increased, which, in turn, entailed the need for new staff recruitment to enterprises.

However, having switched to an enhanced operating mode, enterprises of the defence-industrial complex faced the acute problem of a qualified personnel shortage. The undertaken analysis showed that unfavourable demographic situation in the country has a significant negative impact on the number of personnel in the labour market: the population under working age is declining, there is an evident decrease in the employees’ number in the age groups of 15-29 years and there is an outflow of young workers from enterprises as well. In addition, a serious problem for domestic enterprises is the low level of labour productivity, which also has a negative impact on solving problems of providing the required production volumes.

The author proposes a possible approach to solving this problem through active implementation of lean production methods at enterprises of the military-industrial complex.

Why did the Russian Economy not Collapse under the Influence of Sanctions?

DOI: 10.33917/es-3.195.2024.16-27

Chronicles of the trade and economic war (sanctions, restrictions, etc., in fact, attempts to organize an economic, scientific and technical blockade) of the conventionally united West against Russia after 2014 in general and after the beginning of the Limited Military Operation in particular clearly demonstrate that Atlantic opponents didn’t manage to defeat us economically. They don’t understand why that happened… Russia, to the whole world’s surprise, is successfully realizing its economic potential, monetizing it into stability of the political regime and building up a victorious defence potential. What’s the cause of such macroeconomic stability (national strength) of Russia?
