Alignment of Global and National Interest with Regional Strategic Priorities

   Topicality. The growing instability of economic systems, the transition of the global market space from a stationary state to a large extent during an extraordinary period are accompanied by an intensification of interregional and international competition for resources and factors of expanded reproduction. This is associated with such significant structural changes and transformations that they actualize the search and justification of new strategic vectors of socio-economic development of national economies for the period of “post-normality” and a longer extraordinary period. It is the application of an effective strategizing methodology that allows the developers of any strategy to focus on the search for new strategic opportunities and breakthrough transformations, focuses on determining and choosing the right and long-term vector of development of the strategizing object. The authors emphasize that “new horizons” strategies or innovative development strategies based on technological competitive advantages are the most effective, which, in the context of limited access to imports of high-tech developments and the impossibility of their cross-border transfer, in particular to Russia, forms a predominant focus on the avant-garde domestic technological developments in the justification of strategic priorities. This causes the activation of processes to form the national economy technological sovereignty and emphasizes its strategic importance.   Aim. Determine the basic directions of strategizing the national economy during a period of burgeoning technological sovereignty.   Tasks. Designate the strategic role of scientific and industrial sectors in the process of national economy transition to technological independence, formulate the financial and the human resources development aspects of strategizing the national economy during a period of burgeoning technological sovereignty.   Methods. The scientific research is based on the general theory of Strategy and strategizing methodology developed by the Center for Strategic Research at the Institute of Mathematical Research of Complex Systems and the Economic and Financial Strategy Department at Moscow School of Economics at Lomonosov Moscow State University with the leadership of Foreign Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, professor Vladimir L. Kvint.   Results. The authors have shown the relationship between strategizing and the processes of formation the national economy technological sovereignty, clarified the role of industrial strategizing in the national economy during a period of burgeoning technological sovereignty, formulated key aspects of the financial strategy and the labor potential development strategy of the national economy during a period of burgeoning technological sovereignty.   Conclusions. The process of forming the national economy during a period of burgeoning technological sovereignty must comply with the strategizing methodology, follow the long-term regulated stages and methodological principles for the development and implementation of an appropriate national strategy for the transition to technological independence. Particular attention should be paid to industrial and financial strategizing of the transition to technological independence and strategizing the labor potential development of the national economy during a period of burgeoning technological sovereignty.

Strategizing the National Economy during a Period of Burgeoning Technological Sovereignty

   The dynamism of the economic environment, associated with a change in the group of strategic factors and the resource base, leads to a forced reduction in the required time to search for and justify strategic decisions regarding the implementation of cardinal opportunities, while the cost of a mistake increases. In this context, the choice and justification of the long-term vector and the object development trajectory, which corresponds to the process of developing and further implementing the strategy, acquires the highest importance.   It becomes necessary to know and apply verified and reasonable approaches to strategizing, on the contrary, the lack of understanding or the use of approaches and tools that do not meet the requirements can lead to methodological errors that have long-term negative consequences for the strategizing object. In turn, industries are one of the prospective strategizing objects, and it is they who are able to act as drivers for the development of economic systems as a whole. In order to eliminate errors and reduce impractical and methodologically incorrect documents on industrial development that do not have a strategic character, it is proposed to systematize and clearly regulate the sequence of industrial strategizing, which is the purpose of this scientific study.   Since the most critical errors occur at the initial stages of strategizing, to a greater extent this research is focused on the formation of the concept — the core block of any strategy. In accordance with this, the scientific article presents the main stages of industry strategizing, describes in detail the essence and procedure for the formation of the concept of industry strategy.

Fundamentals of Industrial Strategizing: Formation of the Concept

Regional employment depends on the level of education in that particular region. An effective education system makes it possible to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. Access to quality education boosts economic growth, increases employment prospects, and reduces gender and income inequality. This research featured the strategy of employment development in the Amur Region. The author believes it should be based on the global, national, and regional trends, one of which is public access to quality education. The methodology relied on the theory of strategy and strategizing developed by Professor V.L. Kvint. According to this approach, the high quality of human life is the ultimate goal of any strategy. The analysis revealed Russia’s place in the global education ranking, as well as the national objectives, their indicators, and directions of regional projects as part of the National Education Project in the Amur Region. The strategizing made it possible to define the areas of employment development which are affected by the quality education trend. By implementing the quality education trend, the Amur authorities will be able to identify the opportunities, threats, strengths, and weaknesses to define the strategic priorities in the employment strategy, which will eventually improve the quality of life in the regi on.

The article features the concept of regional identity in Kuzbass. On the one hand, regional identity is based on the policy of strategizing the management and promotion as part of the Regional Development Strategy through 2035. On the other hand, it reveals various semantic identity structures in the long-term strategic initiative of Kemerovo State as part of The Kuzbass Development Strategy through 2071. The analysis involved the challenges of systemic and functional problems of regional development that appeared as a result of socio-economic changes in the digital economy. It also described the projects of innovation and leadership centers. The authors believe that the traditional values and social meanings transform as a result of the state strategy aimed at increasing the competitive advantages of the regions. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study relied on the fundamental provisions of V.L. Kvint’s theory of strategy, certain methodological provisions of regional strategizing, the theory of social identity, and the mission of the region. The authors performed a selective OTSW analysis as an effective tool for monitoring and substantiating strategic opportunities. They constructed a model of regional development component that consisted of a system of social meanings. This system determined the joint efforts in achieving goals and the basic principles of ecology of interaction between flexible business strategies of regional companies, social movements, the youth, ambassadors of investment projects, etc. The approach provided a holistic vision of semantic orientation, which incorporated every stakeholder. Sustainable innovative strategies of regional development define the region as a unique territory with a unique socio-economic organization. They provide a single cognitive environment and a stable regional identity in determining the priority socio-economic bases for the integrative structures that trigger innovations. Strategic priorities in these areas ensure unique long-term development of the regions, as well as give the multiplicative impulse to the socio-economic development of the entire macroregion.
