TL;DR: A conceptual scheme of the interconnection of processes, tasks, and models was developed, which provides the solution of the following main tasks: factor study of development trends, study of the internal environment and potential for key business factors and its development dynamics and implementation of adequate management decisions for increasing systems activity effectiveness as a whole.
Abstract: The paper proposes tools for improving the strategic management system for assessing the processes dynamics and the level of their intensity and non-stationarity by local resource components of industrial enterprise as indicators of organizational and economic development and forecasting its change, as well as determining the structure of the strategic management system of enterprise development with emphasis on its resource communication component that will improve the efficiency of information exchange in the management process in the current context of increased importance of information resources as important elements that provide business entities competitive advantages. In this paper, the complex of models of research of development dynamics of enterprise activity spheres is built, which unlike the existing ones takes into account the non-stationary character of the behavior of these processes. This complex is based on the methods of multidimensional analysis, econometric modeling, decision-making. This complex contains the following steps: formation of the information sets of the company’s indicators in the main activity spheres; research of development dynamics of enterprise activity spheres on the basis of building of local and complex integral indicator of enterprise development level; simulation of non-stationarity dynamics of activity spheres on the bases of building and analysis of ECMV simulation of the enterprise development priorities on the bases of ECM&VAR-models analysis. For improvement of the strategic development management system, a conceptual scheme of the interconnection of processes, tasks, and models was developed, which provides the solution of the following main tasks: factor study of development trends, study of the internal environment and potential for key business factors and its development dynamics and implementation of adequate management decisions for increasing systems activity effectiveness as a whole.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the fundamental problems of innovation as a factor in strengthening the economic security of an enterprise in the context of globalization and integration of the world's economic space.
Abstract: The article identifies the fundamental problems of innovation as a factor in strengthening the economic security of an enterprise in the context of globalization and integration of the world’s economic space. The factors that have a direct impact on innovation activity both in the country and in the world have been investigated. Clustering of individual countries was carried out and Ukraine’s place among them was determined according to the Global Innovation Index. Using the software packages MS Excel and CurveExpert 5.0, a study of the index of innovative efficiency in Ukraine was carried out;dynamics of financing innovative activities in Ukraine, as well as the impact of the level of capital investment on the volume of financing innovative activities. It is proposed to assess the level of economic security of an enterprise based on indicators of its innovative development. The features of interpreting the concept of “innovative activity of enterprises” have been investigated. The sequence and interconnection of such categories as innovative potential, innovative activity, and innovative activity are analyzed. The structure of the process of innovation activity has been investigated. The rhombus of innovative activity is analyzed, which is formed from the following elements: Receptivity to new things – provision of resources – communication and organization of the innovation process – a measure of competence. In the study of the specifics of the management of innovative-active enterprises, the analysis of the features and comparison of the differences between innovation activity and other types of economic activity was carried out. The structure of the process of managing innovatively active enterprises has been developed, taking into account aspects of the safety of activities. The prospect of further research identified a thorough analysis of the features of the management process of innovatively active enterprises, considering the impact of global risks and threats. The principal purpose of the article is to study the essence and main characteristics of innovatively active enterprises in the study's context of the security aspect. © 2021 The Author(s).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the prerequisites for improving the management system of business activity of an agricultural enterprise as a factor in the development of innovation and investment activity of agro-industrial production.
Abstract: Approaches to determining the nature of business activity are generalized. Factors of influence on business activity are considered. Improving the business activity management of an agricultural enterprise as a factor in the development of innovation and investment activity of agro industrial production is an extremely relevant topic, since business activity is the totality of the enterprise's efforts to advance in the markets of production, labor, and capital. Internal and external factors of influence on business activity of the enterprise can be both managed and unmanaged depending on the type to which they belong. Thus, if an enterprise is able to influence internal factors, they can be adjusted depending on the tactical and strategic tasks of the entity and vice versa. If they are of external origin, the enterprise is able to adapt and adapt to them. Solving the problems of agricultural products entering the new markets, the need to increase the level of competitiveness of domestic enterprises in the context of strengthening the European integration processes and the implementation of national economic strategies in the system of European economic relations of the common agro-food market is based on solving the problems of attraction and accumulation. The practical solution of these problems in modern conditions is carried out in the context of ensuring the investment flows and their optimization, which is conditioned by the specificity and dynamic parameters of the development of agricultural enterprises. The purpose of the study is to highlight the prerequisites for improving the management system of business activity of an agricultural enterprise as a factor in the development of innovation and investment activity of agro-industrial production. For a more detailed disclosure of the topic of the study, the indicators of agricultural enterprises of Ukraine for the calculation of business activity were analyzed. Business activity reflects the usage efficiency level of material, labor, financial and other resources and at the same time characterizes the quality of management, as well as the possibilities of potential development of the enterprise.

Abstract: In article the points of view of representatives of modern sociological and economic researches on definition of the terms "network" and "network structures" are generalized. In the analysis of versatile approaches the general scientific principles of the system and structurally functional analysis were used. The author´s point of view on possibility of use of the available scientific device in different areas of knowledge for classification of network structures in economy expresses. In article the short analysis of the main terms which are applied to the characteristic of a network, such as the economic subject is made; social and network capital; network outer effect; network density. Approaches to classification of networks by different criteria, including depending on degree of openness of a network are analysed; depending on a sopodchinennost; depending on the network center; depending on distribution level; depending on extent of formalization; depending on ukorenennost type. Conclusions have the practical importance for an explanation by means of network approach of a number of phenomena of market economy, not explainable from the point of view of neoclassical and institutional approaches.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a preliminary critical polemic against some of the more rhetorical aspects of smart cities, with a view to problematizing a range of elements that supposedly characterize this new urban form, as well as question some underlying assumptions/contradictions hidden within the concept.
Abstract: Debates about the future of urban development in many Western countries have been increasingly influenced by discussions of smart cities. Yet despite numerous examples of this ‘urban labelling’ phenomenon, we know surprisingly little about so‐called smart cities, particularly in terms of what the label ideologically reveals as well as hides. Due to its lack of definitional precision, not to mention an underlying self‐congratulatory tendency, the main thrust of this article is to provide a preliminary critical polemic against some of the more rhetorical aspects of smart cities. The primary focus is on the labelling process adopted by some designated smart cities, with a view to problematizing a range of elements that supposedly characterize this new urban form, as well as question some of the underlying assumptions/contradictions hidden within the concept. To aid this critique, the article explores to what extent labelled smart cities can be understood as a high‐tech variation of the ‘entrepreneurial city’...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a focused and operational definition of the concept of smart city and present consistent evidence on the geography of smart cities in the EU27, for the first time to our knowledge.
Abstract: Urban performance currently depends not only on a city's endowment of hard infrastructure (physical capital), but also, and increasingly so, on the availability and quality of knowledge communication and social infrastructure (human and social capital). The latter form of capital is decisive for urban competitiveness. Against this background, the concept of the “smart city” has recently been introduced as a strategic device to encompass modern urban production factors in a common framework and, in particular, to highlight the importance of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the last 20 years for enhancing the competitive profile of a city. The present paper aims to shed light on the often elusive definition of the concept of the “smart city.” We provide a focused and operational definition of this construct and present consistent evidence on the geography of smart cities in the EU27. Our statistical and graphical analyses exploit in depth, for the first time to our knowledge, the most re...

TL;DR: This chapter presents and defends Ray Kurzweil’s view that the authors will reach a technological singularity in the next few decades, which he defines as a period during which the pace of technological change will be so rapid, its impact so deep, that human life will be irreversibly transformed.
Abstract: In this chapter, Ray Kurzweil presents and defends his view that we will reach a technological singularity in the next few decades, which he defines as a “period during which the pace of technological change will be so rapid, its impact so deep, that human life will be irreversibly transformed.” Kurwzweil argues that the pace of technological change, particularly with respect to information technologies, is exponential, and that we are near the “knee” of the exponential curve (i.e. the point at which the curve changes from largely horizontal to largely vertical). Kurzweil predicts that a core feature of the singularity will be the merging of biological and machine intelligence, such that the majority of “human” intelligence will become non-biological, and the merging of virtual and physical reality. Kurzweil considers this the next step in human-machine co-evolution.
