В данной статье на примере Свердловской области рассматриваются актуальные тенденции развития регионального (территориального) российского потребительского рынка в условиях трансформации современной экономики. Нынешнее социально-экономическое развитие территорий характеризуется особым уровнем развития различных сегментов потребительского рынка и системой индикаторов, позволяющих получить реальную картину социально-экономического развития и благосостояния территории (региона). Авторами статьи доказывается, что потребительский рынок — важная сфера экономики любого государства, он является связующим звеном потребления и производства, балансирует спрос и предложение. Современный потребительский рынок — это особая форма организации бизнеса, которая развивается в условиях высокой конкуренции, при этом способствует удовлетворению амбициозных потребностей собственников бизнеса. Актуальность выбранного направления исследования определяется значимой ролью сегментов потребительского рынка в развитии отраслей экономики как отдельной территории, так и государства в целом. С точки зрения экономической концепции переходного периода, потребительский рынок — это обратная сторона товарного производства, основа рыночного хозяйства. Это и обусловило необходимость для более глубокого анализа вопросов, связанных с мониторингом эффективности развития сегментов потребительского рынка региона. Целью проведенных исследований являлась выработка авторской концептуальной позиции по экономическому развитию сегментов потребительского рынка, позволяющей всесторонне оценить потенциал стратегического развития как экономики региона в целом, так и отдельных отраслевых сегментов отдельно взятого субъекта. На основании представленных статистических данных проанализировано современное состояние и развитие потребительского рынка с учетом сложившихся экономических условий хозяйствования региона. Авторами изучены и обобщены теоретические позиции ведущих ученых относительно показателей, позволяющих всесторонне охарактеризовать уровень и потенциал развития экономических субъектов потребительского рынка. В результате исследования выработана концептуальная позиция по набору финансовых инструментов, позволяющих всесторонне оценить результаты финансово-хозяйственной деятельности, а также стратегические возможности отдельных экономических субъектов и отраслевых сегментов потребительского рынка региона.

Tools for research and assessment of the consumer market potential in a transformed economy

The article examines the models of efficient functioning of trading enterprises in the conditions of economic development during 2016-2019. It is proved that the criterion for measuring efficiency is the evaluation of static and dynamic efficiency of trade activities, which allows changes in the used assets (resources) to be taken into account, an enterprise’s safety margin to be increased and it testifies to the merger (integration) of diminishing returns and economic fluctuations in modern economic macro and microsystems. The results of measuring the efficiency of trading enterprises ’ activity show that in order to evaluate the efficiency of the functioning of trading enterprises qualitatively and completely, it is necessary to consider all possible factors. Given the existence of Clark ’ s law, the authors substantiate an approach to evaluating the performance based on simple one-factor multiple models, which proves that future studies of finding ways to improve the efficiency, which are mainly aimed at extensive resource changes, will be erroneous, unjustified, and most likely, they will reduce the effectiveness of the resource under study. By specifying and parameterising the function of an enterprise ’ s trade activity in the conditions of economic development, it is possible to evaluate not only the static efficiency of trade activity, but also the impact of the law of diminishing marginal product on the results of the enterprise’s operation. This approach allows us to determine the optimal boundaries of doing business and the most effective marginal size of resource changes to achieve high cost indicators and economic synergy. The article defines clear boundaries between the minimum marginal product ratio (increase in net income relative to the growth in the number of employees) and the maximum average product (productivity) of trading enterprises.

Models of efficiency of functioning in trading enterprises under conditions of economic growth

The content, boundaries, development vector and expected results of the sustainable development policy today rightfully belong to one of the most debated issues in the scientific community The imperative of solving the critical problem of replacing the dominant world order based on the extraction of mineral raw materials carries the risk of increasing economic isolationism This threatens to eliminate the economics of extracting products from technological production chains that meet the needs of modern consumers around the world, and the loss of technological identity of the industry For the transition of an economy with a developed commodity sector to the path of sustainable development, modernization of industry on a new technological basis is required and saturation of the domestic market with environmentally friendly production requires, on the one hand, the import of technologies, and on the other, significant “environmental technologies connected” investments Therefore, sustainable development should be both a goal and, at the same time, the result of a new industrialization of the economy, cannot set itself the goal of enhancing isolation from the global raw materials market

Institutional Traps and Externalities of Sustainable Development of the Mining Country in Transition to Digital and Knowledge Economy

Sustainable development today covers not only certain aspects of the environmental and economic aspects of society. The very structure of the economy, in particular the production sphere, as well as the whole society, is changing radically. Moreover, the structure is not only a systemological, but also the category of sustainable development. It acts as the basis of any material phenomenon or process, that is, it serves as a relatively stable basis on which more mobile elements function. Therefore, the closest concept that allows revealing the essence of sustainable development, the problem of cognition of environmental and economic transformations, transformations and their regulation, is the structure. It is by using the disclosure of the structure as a fundamental element of the system of sustainable development that can reveal the factors of deep changes in the economy, under the influence of which the transformation of industry towards modern environmental guidelines, and with it employment, investment, innovation, systems of their state regulation.

The issues of improving the methods for analyzing the income of the service company by the example of trade are discussed in the article. The main emphasis in the study is made on the factor analysis of gross income: a classification of factors into overt and latent is proposed for calculating the coefficients of its sensitivity to changes in factors by various methods, for ranking them by significance, and estimating the impact of changes in resource potential on income. The proposed additional areas of revenue analysis will improve the quality of analytical work and allow to take a more informed approach to the development of areas for their growth.

Factor Analysis of the Income of the Trade Service Company Based on its Sensitivity Evaluation

In the context of the transition of mineral extractive economies to sustainable development, the role of scientific and innovative support of this process is increasing. Universities are key components of this structural breakthrough. For the Russian economy, interaction and competition between federal universities are especially important, which, on the one hand, offer new technologies of "green" mining, and on the other, they form a high-tech breakthrough. The authors of the study have analyzed the competitiveness of Russian federal universities based on a developed methodology. This allows them to identify leaders and outsiders among these educational organizations and determine their strengths and weaknesses. The results allow the authors to determine the competitiveness of federal universities based on aggregated indicators that consider the influence of internal and external environment factors. The developed and tested methodology is based on the performance indicators of educational organizations, the "Project 5-100" indicators, and the indicators of international competitiveness.
