Under the conditions of sanctions pressure, transformational processes are intensifying in the economic space of both individual regions and the country as a whole. Therefore it is important to identify relevant research trajectories of the economic space transformations associated with reorientation to the development of new markets, restructuring of logistics chains, activation of import substitution processes, construction of new transport routes, etc.Based on the analysis of existing research approaches to the interpretation of the economic space proposed by domestic and foreign researchers, the article systematizes the main approaches to the study of the economic space and identifies promising research trajectories of the modern economic space of Russia. The results can be used in the creation of effective tools for the development of the economic space.

The authors substantiate the relevance of managing the balanced development of the socio-economic system in the current conditions of turbulent macroeconomic factors and the need to achieve national security goals.The article reveals the features of methodological tools for indicative assessment of the balance of the regional socio-economic development, based on the calculation of structural indicators, determining the value of the mono-economic development coefficient, as well as diagnostics of variations in the sectoral structure of the regional economy. The assessment of the balance of socio-economic development of the Samara region is carried out, which makes it possible to identify problematic segments of declining sustainability and the potential of destructive factors. The article solves the problem of finding a balanced development of the regional socio-economic system based on the adaptation of the indicative assessment methodology. Based on the results of the research, it is concluded that it is necessary to correct the socio-economic development of the Samara region in order to achieve greater balance. The proposed methodology can be applied for further research by representatives of the scientific community to provide diagnostics of the balanced development of socio-economic systems. The results of analytical calculations can become an actual information foundation for representatives of regional management, ensuring a reduction in the level of uncertainty when making managerial decisions focused on achieving the goals of sustainable regional development. The use of indicative tools to assess the balance of regional development can be considered as an element of scientific research novelty.Acknowledgments:The work was carried out as part of the implementation of the development program of the Southwestern State University of the Priority-2030 project.

Currently, our country actively needs the development of the economic system and the emergence of new mechanisms and tools for its development. At the same time, the issue of creating new economic and legal mechanisms on the basis or principles of public-private partnership is very relevant.At the same time, a number of old issues related to the optimization of regulatory and organizational tools to ensure the partnership mechanism have not yet been resolved. But it is already necessary to develop regulatory support for new phenomena, such as the complex territorial cluster-type systems.The authors propose an approach to the formation of a mechanism of regulatory support for the formation and effective functioning of complex territorial systems of cluster type. The article may be useful to economists, lawyers and anyone dealing with the problems of public-private partnership.

The article presents the results of the authors’ study of the peculiarities of production and educational clusters, which can act as a factor of sustainable development of the transport industry and the economy of the region as a whole. The authors’ interpretations of the concepts of cluster and cluster policy are presented. The authors of the article consider the relationship “industrial and educational complex – sustainable development of the transport industry – sustainable development of the regional economy”. It is proved that the interaction “region – university – main employers” within the framework of creating a system of optimally spatially distributed clusters, following the example of industrial and educational clusters, will significantly contribute to reducing the severity of the personnel problem in the transport industry.

The article analyzes the possibilities of metaverse in urban governance. Metaverse is a virtual world in which it is possible to reproduce the activities of the physical world through the immersive reality. Metaverse technologies include virtual and augmented reality, digital twins and avatars, and geoinformation systems. In urban governance, metaverse technologies facilitate the creation of access to social services, the involvement of citizens, the implementation of interactive communication, and the collaborative design of infrastructure.Education and healthcare, transportation and mobility have the greatest potential for adoption of metaverse technologies. This is due to the growth of the urban population and the need to regulate conflicts in hyperdiverse communities. The areas of e-commerce, retail, media and banking are also significant. In these fields, metaverse allow city authorities to create test regulatory projects. The author concludes that the readiness of urban governance to introduce metaverse technologies varies, therefore, current projects will be realized rather in the form of industry or pilot programs. The article is intended for researchers of the advanced urban concepts, including smart cities, sustainable cities, 15-minute cities and contextual design. Acknowledgments:The article was prepared based on the results of research carried out at the expense of budgetary funds under the state assignment of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation.

The scientific problem of this study is related to the identification and generalization of the results of the timber complex as an object of strategizing. The article presents some results of diagnostics of the timber complex of the Arkhangelsk region. Technologically, the structural and multi-layered timber complex of the Arkhangelsk region qualifies for effective strategic management as a difficult socio-economic system. Diagnostics included the main activities of the timber complex, the main of which were the resource base, innovation and technological potential, financial and economic results, production and market indicators, and human resources. The diagnostic results showed mixed results. Thus, the use of the resource base, innovation and technological potential, and human resources have an insufficient level. Financial and economic results, production, and market indicators as a whole had positive dynamics with the exception of the extraordinary periods of 2022-2023. The obtained results of diagnostics of the timber complex allowed to form the main problems hindering development, which should be taken into account in strategic planning and forecasting. The scientific significance of the results obtained lies in the fact that the study based on a comprehensive analysis of the activities of the timber complex with the allocation of the main areas of diagnostics contributes to the methodology of strategizing. The applied significance is due to the possibility of applying the results of the study to form a strategy for the development of Russian timber regions.

State policy in healthcare is one of the most priority areas of activity of public authorities in order to achieve national strategic goals; and personnel policy is its key element and the key to effective management of the healthcare industry. The problems of state personnel policy in healthcare are currently becoming particularly relevant in view of its problems, both at the federal and regional levels. The article considers the basics of the state personnel policy in the healthcare system, examines the regulatory and legal regulation of personnel policy in healthcare. On the example of the Lipetsk region, the analysis of the implemented personnel policy in healthcare is carried out. The tools of management and improvement of personnel policy in the healthcare system of the region, contributing to reducing the shortage of medical personnel and advanced registered nurse practitioners in the Lipetsk region, are examined.

The article substantiates the strengthening of the influence of image formation on the implementation of the processes of marketing and behavioral adaptation of subjects in the context of solving priority tasks of innovative development of business, government and society. The turbulence of information flows of different semantic content and orientation destroys the identification parameters of subjects, subjectivizes the reflection of the real image of the subject by means and tools of information marketing and reputation manipulation, and thereby destabilizes public and personal consciousness, as well as shakes the behavior of individuals. The negative influence of simulation information resources on innovative transformations in business and society is argued. This generates dissonances of various nature, leading to communication and behavioral asymmetry as a result of weakening information and behavioral congruence in the created communication fields of subjects and blurring the media landscape in the interests of beneficiaries of inhibiting innovative changes in the national economy and preventing it from gaining economic sovereignty. Thus, it is necessary to strengthen the trust of society and its citizens in business and government by objectifying their image characteristics and turning the image into a catalyst for innovative transformations of a constructive and creative nature. A model of managing the image-marketing adaptation of business to the conditions of turbulence of information-manipulative influences on the subjects of communication relations from various sources of their origin is proposed. It could be useful to ensure increasing the potential of economic growth based on obtaining an integrative multiplicative effect.

A distinctive feature of the current stage of development of the world industry is associated with advanced and breakthrough technologies. They are rapidly changing the landscape of the global economy. Biotechnological productions, characterized by high production speeds, is an example of advanced achievements, which are considered a priority for the branches of the national economy. This fact, along with the transition to the Green Agenda and the optimization of all types of resource costs, is a prerequisite for the introduction of lean production methodology into the practice of biotech product manufacturing. In the article, the authors present the results of the second stage of research, the novelty of which is associated with the management of emerging inconsistencies in the technological cycle of a biological product within the framework of the implementation of the principles of lean production, taking into account the company specifics. The authors of the article proposed an algorithm for managing inconsistencies, a plan to eliminate the identified defect, and also developed proposals for targeted preventive actions to prevent its occurrence in the future. The results of the study make it possible to effectively plan production while minimizing resource costs.Therefore, an effective tool to solve the scientific problem of quality management and production of defect-free products during the transition of the company to the practice of lean production is presented. The publication is of interest to specialists of biotechnological industries, quality management departments, as well as the scientific and business community.

The article examines the existing practice of managing business processes for transporting oil to oil refineries for oil companies that do not have their own infrastructure for storing hydrocarbons, as well as for sending and transporting oil by rail and pipeline. Using the example of an oil company in the growth phase of increasing oil production, based on the strategy of outsourcing and insourcing of these services, the processes of managing auxiliary business processes are studied. The conditions and procedures for managing this business process are highlighted.

The vector of transformation of public administration is close attention to the problem of efficiency in the current legislation, regulatory and methodological materials and theoretical publications. A positive trend is the focus on the harmonization of the management processes of state and municipal programs with national projects. However, there are a large number of pressing problems and contradictions due to the lack of a unified classification of types of effectiveness and methods of their assessment, as well as the weakness of their interconnection in the assessment for individual participants across the vertical when performing functions (rendering services, performing works), which negatively affect the achievement of national goals. These problems are often compounded by a formal approach to setting performance criteria, and in some cases by insufficient quality of reporting, on the basis of which management decisions are made. The innovation of the research is the integration of types of efficiency and their parameters at all levels of management consistently from national projects, state (municipal) programs, budgets of all levels and institutions. Based on the analysis of methodological approaches to performance evaluation, the author suggests the use of uniform types of efficiency throughout the hierarchical chain of management in the budgetary sphere: operational, social (public) and managerial. This article may be of interest both for representatives of the scientific community and for practitioners of government bodies, as well as state (municipal) institutions.

The article analyzes the prerequisites for the institutionalization of the qualifications of procurement participants within the framework of the institute of requirements for procurement participants. The processes of ordering and systematization of rules and regulations in the field of regulating the qualifications of procurement participants are substantiated. The analysis of uniform and additional requirements for procurement participants corresponding to qualification criteria is carried out. The approach to determining the qualifications of the procurement participant based on their professional qualities is defined. A list of problems with the application of additional requirements on the part of procurement participants and customers has been formed. The effective signs of institutionalization of the qualification of procurement participants are highlighted.

The implementation of the activities of the the National Ecology Project implies financial support at the expense of extra-budgetary instruments for almost a quarter. The capital intensity and non-financial nature of the results of environmental measures complicates the process of attracting private investment. To achieve the set goals of the national project, it is necessary to develop existing and create new, potentially accessible, mechanisms for attracting extra-budgetary financing instruments. This study is devoted to the analysis of the key directions of the development of extra-budgetary financial support instruments of the the National Ecology Project. The study identified the following development vectors: tax and depreciation preferences for participants of the national project, the creation of sustainable structural loans with the possibility of subsidizing interest rates, the expansion of the segment of green and sustainable contracts due to thematic derivatives. The results of the study will be of interest primarily to the state regulators of the national project and authorized institutions: the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, VEB of the Russian Federation, and the Bank of Russia.

When planning the values of dynamic investment performance indicators at the feasibility study stage, the scenario approach does not fully address the issue of taking into account the variable discount rate of future financial periods for the planned values of net discounted income both at the investment stage and at the stage of useful life of the newly created real estate object. In modern publications of both foreign and domestic authors, this issue has not been fully examined, including in the context of the variable definition of initial investments. The authors of the article propose a scenario approach to calculating the value of the net discounted income indicator of an investment project at the stage of feasibility study, taking into account the variable definition of initial investments and the variable value of the discount rate for the specified efficiency indicator. The results of the study can be used in the implementation of investment projects in modern domestic conditions.

The article discusses the theoretical and practical aspects of transformative investments and their role in the development of human capital in modern conditions. It is necessary to look for new forms of investment, which will unite the efforts of various participants and will not depend on the development of the social and ecological environment of the regions only on the help of the state and charity. Transformative investments are designed to have a positive impact on society and the environment, and to deliver not only a social impact, but also a measurable economic impact.They are the mainstream of regional development. The development of human capital, which manifests itself in various forms, taking into account the global changes that are taking place all over the world, provides for mandatory investments in skills, abilities, human health from early childhood, and the growth of its cultural component. With the increasing burden on the planet, due to the need to meet the needs of economic growth, the relevance of transformative investments in preventing future global climate changes that reduce the quality of human capital increases.The study of practical aspects of the implementation of investments in the social sphere of the region, which aims to consider the issues of human capital development, was carried out. The trends of development in the demographic sphere, education and healthcare that determine conditions of human capital development in the region were revealed.The Sverdlovsk region was accepted as the object of research.

In the current trade relations between the United States and the EAEU countries under sanctions, it is extremely important to assess economic security. The active participation of the EAEU countries expands their opportunities for trade and economic cooperation with the United States, contributing to greater stability in the context of positioning on the world stage. However, the policy of anti-Russian sanctions makes ambiguous adjustments to international relations.The article analyzes the trade indicators. Threats to the economic security of the EAEU countries that have a negative impact on both integration ties and trade relations with the United States are considered. The prospects of the EAEU countries' participation in the world trade system during the period of anti-Russian sanctions are assessed.Some possibilities of Russia as a member of the EAEU to mitigate the sanctions consequences have been identified.In order to rationalize the development of the EAEU and ensure its economic security of trade relations with various partners, it was concluded that appropriate measures should be taken in accordance with the strategic goals of the Union and their coordination.It is proposed to change the goal setting of trade and economic cooperation of the EAEU within the framework of free trade zones.
