Theoretical aspects of collective Enterprises

Abstract: This article is devoted to the theoretical issues of the functioning of collective enterprises. The article reveals the concept of a collective enterprise (self-managed firm), as well as the principles of the functioning of such firms. The authors mean collective enterprises by those economic entities which work collective actively participates in making managerial decisions. Moreover, the organizational and legal form of the enterprise is immaterial for the case. The arguments of supporters and opponents of collective management are considered. The main advantage of such enterprises is the high level of motivation of employees interested in eventual outcomes of their work. It is shown that collective enterprises overcome such management problems as imbalance of interests for various participants of economic activity, authoritarianism at the microeconomic level, prevention of workers from participation in production management. At the same time, the main feature of a collective enterprise is not so much the participation of workers in the company's capital, but rather the real economic power of its work collective, what requires formation of a qualitatively different corporate governance culture aimed at broad involvement of employees in managerial and economic processes. The most important argument of opponents of collective enterprises is the ineffectiveness of making group decisions due to the lack of professional competencies among the bulk of ordinary workers. The paper notes that this deficiency is overcome by introducing the system of continuing education for members of the work collective at a collective enterprise. The condition for preserving the advantages of collective enterprises and eliminating their shortcomings is the strengthening of interaction of labor and capital in making decisions in the sphere of production management and the distribution of its results.

Implementation of market methods of price forming in the field of power industry with the application of the consolidated balance-market model of economic systems

Abstract: Object. The power industry of Russia is being developing with the use of its natural resources, advanced ideas, implementation of existing opportunities. So, the key task of the energy strategy of Russia till 2035 is the transfer from the commodity-heavy to the resource-innovative development of both the power industry and the economics of the country. All conditions have been created for its solution as of now – the power industry is expected to increase by 20-25% if demand for the hydrocarbon raw materials falls on the immediate horizon.In this juncture such branch as the power industry seems to be a crutial and sophisticated object of the research on the dynamics of economic systems infrastructural transformations. Anyway, its implementation in the field of the power industry involved quasi-market mechanisms of the preservation of existing ones and the building of new non-competitive powers with the use of such mechanisms as "adhesion contract" and "marginal price forming".The work shows the inhibiting impact of these mechanisms on the economic system. The offer for its replacement to increase the pace of the power industry development and of the Russian economics substantiates.The research purpose is to substantiate the application of the consolidated balance-market model of economic systems for the analysis of the dynamics of the development of the technologically heterogenic branch, interacting with the other economic system, provided Leontief correlations. The power industry was selected as the studied one. Peculiarities of the reforming of power price rates, combining both market and regulating (quasi-market) mechanisms, were considered.Methods. The random balance-market model became the methodologic basis for mixed economic systems in the option of the self-consistent field of Leontief matrices. It make it possible to solve practical issues of the development of most important multi-agent branches in its interaction with the other economic system. In the work this model is applied in the quasitensor form for the evaluation of mixed mechanisms of the regulation of price rates in the power industry.Results. It was revealed that the common use of such mechanisms as "marginal price forming" and "adhesion contracts" fully suppresses the economic growth in all branches of economics. In order to find the way out was offered the consolidated random model of mixed economic systems in the quasitensor form. Its application will make it possible to obtain the new distribution of the capital by goods and agents with the better use of its technical advantages with such level of power rates.Conclusions. The possibility of the subtle analysis of the dynamics of the specialization and localization of agents was shown for the following development of distributed centralized energoinformational systems in the Russian Federation. It is expedient to use offered approach and developed algorithms of modeling for the evaluation of the accelerated economic growth of other key branches of the Russian economics.

On stable flows and preflows

Abstract: In 2010s Fleiner introduced a notion of stable flows in directed networks and showed that such a flow always exists and can be found by use of a reduction to the stable allocation problem due to Baiou and Balinski. Recently Cseh and Matuschke devised a direct strongly polynomial algorithm. In this paper we give an alternative algorithm to find a stable flow in a network with several sources and sinks. It is based on an idea of preflows (appeared in 1970s in a faster algorithm for the classical max-flow problem), and runs in $O(nm)$ time for a network with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. The results are further generalized to a larger class of objects, so-called stable quasi-flows with bounded excesses in non-terminal vertices. (The paper is written in Russian.)
