Purpose: to clarify and substantiate the role of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) as tools for implementing strategic priorities of the state’s economic policy according to the concept of new state capitalism.
Methods: the study uses a methodological approach grounded in the theoretical framework of new state capitalism and incorporates techniques such as statistical data analysis and scientific generalization.
Results: the article examines changes in modern state economic activity and proposes using SOEs as policy instruments. The analysis shows increased interest in developing new forms of state-business collaboration and hybrid corporate structures. By studying the national project "Effective and Competitive Economy," the study clarifies SOEs' role in advancing strategic goals related to Russia's stock market growth. The main findings include evaluating evolution key directions of market forms of state economic practices and defining SOEs' role in meeting national development priorities.
Conclusions and Relevance: global economic transformations require more flexible approaches than those traditionally associated with state intervention. Modern challenges demand adaptable regulatory frameworks rather than static corrections to market failures. Current shifts are best aligned with the tenets of state capitalism, which are already being integrated into Russia's legislative framework. Although SOEs act as pivotal mechanisms for enacting state economic strategies, they remain heavily influenced by administrative directives from state shareholders. Therefore, reforming their governance structure becomes essential to better reconcile the interests of both parties.

Purpose: to develop a dynamic approach to substantiating management decisions for in-demand professions. The first part of the article presents a discourse and content analysis of the frequency approach to finding solutions for in-demand professions.
Methods: this research is based on content analysis of scientific literature, regulatory, legal and official reference materials that relate to theories, methodologies and sources of justification of managerial decisions about in-demand professions. In the analysis and evaluation of mental decision schemes for the development and application of registries of in-demand professions, the dialectical method and discourse analysis are decisive.
Results: the types, characteristics and functional purpose of the profession’s registers for substantiating management decisions on in-demand professions are considered. The key reasons for encouraging the decision makers to use various registers of professions as alternatives to the truth of information sources about professions are revealed. The methodological function of dialectics in the search for solutions for the selection, hiring and employment of workers with the use of in-demand professions registries as true sources of knowledge is explained. The mechanism of the true supply and demand conditions formation at the labour market with professions of any demand is shown. The dilemma of demand and vacancies in the search for the truth of solutions for in-demand professions is investigated. The tools of the frequency approach to the search for in-demand professions solutions are characterized.
Conclusions and Relevance: the dominance of the frequency approach has been revealed in the search for solutions on in-demand professions. It has been established that the frequency approach does not fully satisfy the analytical needs of the decision makers for the management of in-demand professions. It is necessary to supplement the tools of the frequency approach with innovative tools for finding solutions on in-demand professions that are more appropriate to the market nature of the labour need.

Purpose: to provide a rationale for optimizing the region's export potential realization mechanism through the integration of digital technologies and the concept of smart complementarity, ensuring adaptation to the global markets fragmentation and enhancing the competitiveness of regional enterprises.
Methods: general scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, abstraction, and concretization) were used. To operationalize the concept of smart complementarity, structural modeling techniques and the design of information-analytical systems were utilized.
Results: a mechanism was developed that combines the conceptual framework of smart complementarity in trade flows between Russian regions and foreign countries, ecosystem interaction among foreign economic activity (FEA) participants. This mechanism incorporates an information-analytical system designed to analyze nuanced criteria, such as trade conditions, logistics, and political risks, for the formulation of regional export development strategies. The proposed mechanism was tested through the information-analytical system "Digital FEA Navigator", which provides regional enterprises and governmental authorities with tools to assess export opportunities, identify target markets, and develop strategies for entering foreign markets.
Conclusions and Relevance: the development of digital technologies facilitates the emergence of new business approaches. In this regard, the article develops and substantiates a mechanism for realizing regional export potential based on the principle of smart coupling, formalized in its structure and functions that integrate modern approaches to digital transformation and ecosystem interaction among foreign economic activity participants. The practical significance of the proposed framework was demonstrated through the development and piloting of the "Digital FEA Navigator" information and analytical system, which functions as a tool for export diversification, automation of analytics, and support for decision-making by foreign economic activity entities. The results pave the way for transitioning from targeted export support to the formation of sustainable digital ecosystems that enhance global competitiveness. The implementation of the proposed mechanism for realizing regional export potential based on smart complementarity will enable regions to respond flexibly to market changes, minimize risks, and strengthen their positions in new priority areas of export activity.

Purpose: to reveal problems and opportunities created by the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education, based on perception of teachers and students.
Methods: the research is based on the comparative analysis of scientific articles and the authors’ survey of 380 teachers and students of the University of Tyumen. The following indices are calculated and applied: the readiness of the educational system for the spread of AI; the negative consequences of AI for students; the desirability of applying educational technologies using AI. The F and chi-square criteria are used to test hypotheses and compare groups.
Results: dissonance is revealed in the assessments, forecasts and expectations of teachers and students regarding the incorporation of AI technologies in higher education. The actors of education consider that the educational system is insufficiently prepared for the prevalence of AI. Teachers give even more critical judgments than students. Students are more likely to notice a potential deterioration in interaction with teachers, while the teachers expect clearer regulations and principles of its use. Negative assessments of the impact of AI on students' critical thinking, motivation, and communication skills prevail. The decrease in the effectiveness of traditional approaches to the organization of the learning environment is shown. A discrepancy is found between official declarations on the incorporation of AI and actual practices of its use.
Conclusions and Relevance: the integration of AI into higher education is challenged by the systemic unpreparedness of universities, which creates risks of chaotic implementation and a decrease in the quality of education. It is necessary to develop clear, disciplineoriented principles for the use of AI, which will preserve the developing function of education. Managerial influence should combine normative regulation, engagement of the most interested actors, and the promotion of a culture of sensible AI use.

Purpose: based on the authors’ methodology for assessing the strategic potential of a destination, to determine the priority types of tourism and recreational activities in the regions of the Russian Far East.
Methods: the study is based on the theory of strategy, which assumes a consistency of values and interests of all participants in the strategy development process and compliance with the hierarchy of strategy. The information background for identifying the values and interests of all actors in the tourism market in the region was provided by regulatory and legal documents of a strategic level coordinating the tourism complex of the Far Eastern Federal District. The Federal Tourism Interregional Scheme of Territorial and Spatial Planning of the Russian Federation was used to combine the priority types of tourism and recreational activities outlined in regional strategic documents into consolidated types. The strategic potential of a destination was assessed using the index method with a wide range of indicators.
Results: based on the analysis of domestic and foreign theoretical approaches to the concept of "tourist and recreational potential" of a territory and methods for its assessment, the authors introduced the concept of "strategic potential of a destination" and proposed a methodology for assessing it. The methodology has been tested on the materials of the Far Eastern Federal District based on the data of 2023. The obtained assessments of the strategic potential of the destination by types of tourism and recreational activities make it possible to substantiate the strategic directions of tourism development in the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District and to identify the discrepancy between the declared goals and the available resources and competitive advantages of the regions. The authors propose recommendations for adjusting the promising tourism specializations of the regions outlined in the industry program documents.
Conclusions and Relevance: the assessment results obtained by the authors' methodology showed the insufficiency of economic incentives and financial resources to transforming the competitive advantages of the territory into strategic priorities for tourism development. It is advisable to concentrate resources on those subjects of the macroregion that have the maximum number of competitive advantages for developing the tourism complex. The assessment of the strategic potential of the destination made it possible to single out Primorsky, Kamchatka and Khabarovsk Krai, Sakhalin Oblast, and the Republic of Buryatia as such perspective ones.

Purpose: to develop a mathematical model in the context of implementing concession and tariff types of contracts of heat grid organizations to mitigate the threat to economic security associated with the inequality of parameters contained in contracts.
Methods: the benchmarking method was used to identify disagreements arising in tariff regulation when using the concession contract model in the regions. For studying problems of calculating tariffs for thermal energy, the methods of economically justified costs (expenses), tariff indexation and mathematical modeling are used.
Results: parameters are selected, the change of which will lead to a threat to economic security. Mathematical modeling was carried out, which showed the need for equality of concession and tariff types of contracts. A set of restrictions is developed to ensure the economic security of resource supplying organizations.
Conclusions and Relevance: the economic security of natural monopolies depends on the achieved balance of interests between resource suppliers and consumers. Public-private partnership in the form of concession agreements is currently one of the effective tools in the process of modernizing the infrastructure of monopolies. In this regard, a substantiation of the model of tariff regulation of resource supplying organizations with a set of certain restrictions was made, under the conditions of concluding and implementing concession agreements under two types of contracts (concession and tariff ).

Purpose: to substantiate the conceptual foundations, as well as the institutional and technological conditions for the transition to Bank 5.0, based on identifying the limitations of digital-only banks and the distinctive features of the new stage.
Methods: the study utilizes institutional analysis to identify the specifics and limitations of digital banks, a comparative approach to compare the parameters of the digital-only and Bank 5.0 models, and a structural and functional analysis to formalize the institutional and technological conditions for the transition to Bank 5.0.
Results: digital-only banks, despite external technological modernization, retain the institutional structure of traditional banking intermediation. This limits their ability to integrate with platforms and adapt to distributed financial environments. Bank 5.0, in contrast, demonstrates the sustainable reproduction of a new logic. In this model, the fulfillment of obligations is embedded in the platform infrastructure, trust is ensured not only by procedures but also algorithmically, and the bank's role is transformed from an intermediary and settlement operator to an organizer of the digital ecosystem. This study allows formulating the conditions for the transition to this model, both institutional and technological, and moving from a description of innovations to a structural understanding of Bank 5.0 specifics as a new stage in the evolution of banking intermediation.
Conclusions and Relevance: Bank 5.0 is not a logical continuation of digital-only models, but rather creates a fundamentally different institutional and technological model based on programmable processes, digital identity, platform-based coordination of participants, and built-in trust. Its implementation is impossible within the existing architecture; it requires a redefinition of bank functions and execution mechanisms. The study's results allow assessing the current state of banks' institutional and technological readiness for the transition to Bank 5.0 and use the findings to develop plans for modernizing internal processes and infrastructure.

Purpose: the article substantiates the expediency of a differentiated approach to the development of online commerce in the regions of the Russian Federation based on their spatial clustering.
Methods: the article applied spatial analysis methods. A preliminary analysis of the variability of e-commerce turnover volume and growth rate per capita in Russian Federation regions was conducted. To assess the general distribution pattern of turnover and its changes by region, global Moran’s spatial autocorrelation indices were calculated. Clusterization and identification of atypical regions were carried out based on local Moran’s spatial autocorrelation indices.
Results: though the variation is steadily decreasing, Russian regions differ in terms of e-commerce turnover per capita. Since 2020, there has been a statistically significant trend toward spatial clustering of regions by turnover. According to the 2023 results, two clusters of regions with positive spatial autocorrelation of average per capita e-commerce turnover were identified. Although spatial patterns in the rate of increase of e-commerce turnover per capita have not been confirmed at the global level, local clusters have been identified.
Conclusions and Relevance: the strengthening role of regions and the existence of global statistically significant spatial patterns and local spatial clusters allow us to conclude that a differentiated approach to the development of regional e-commerce may be rather appropriate. The approach may be considered relevant both for the government, which regulates online commerce and is interested in mitigating regional socio-economic imbalances, and for business entities engaged in trading activities in regional markets.

Purpose: elaboration of scientific and applied recommendations for the development of regional innovation ecosystems within the framework of the innovation growth paradigm actualisation.
Methods: theoretical provisions of the new growth theory, the theory of complex systems, the concept of open innovation, and the ecosystem approach formed the methodological basis of the research. The methods of interdisciplinary, bibliographic, structural-logical and statistical analysis, methods of scientific generalisation and systematisation were used.
Results: it is shown that in modern economic conditions a special role in enhancing the innovation process is assigned to regional innovation ecosystems that are able to ensure the continuity of the innovation cycle by strengthening the integration of participants. The analysis of the problems of innovation activity enhancement of the RF subjects has revealed a number of factors that determine the need to form a new space of interaction that corresponds to the structure and specifics of ecosystem transformation of modern economy. The priorities of levelling the organisational and functional limitations of regional innovation ecosystems development in the process of commercialization and scaling of their aggregate value proposition were formulated. The organisational model of formation and evolution of regional innovation ecosystems, including key conditions, characteristic features, potential barriers, mechanisms and tools to support their development, has been developed.
Conclusions and Relevance: in the context of rapid technological progress, the demand for and implementation of the concept of regional innovation ecosystems as an effective form of enhancing innovation activity is high. To accelerate the ecosystem transformation of regional economies, it is necessary to create conditions that promote expanded cooperation, strengthen synergy and symbiosis of joint activities of complementary participants in innovation networks. It is important to achieve a systemic compromise of their goals and interests to ensure a balanced structure of subjects of innovation interaction and regional resources. The proposed organizational model can be used to structure the mechanism for the formation of innovation ecosystems, taking into account potential barriers and limitations of the ecosystem transformation of the regional innovation landscape. Prospects for further research are related to clarifying regional priorities of growth policy and mechanisms for their implementation in the ecosystem format in relation to the tasks of increasing the innovative activity of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Purpose: to identify common patterns in the regulatory framework for bioeconomic approaches of business activities in France.
Methods: the study uses a set of historical methods to identify patterns in the development of regulations governing the use of bioeconomic approaches in France. General scientific methods are actively used, primarily systematic analysis, which allows social phenomena and their parts to be represented as systems and their elements. The interdisciplinary nature of the study determines the use of methods of formallogical interpretation of law and comparative legal research methods.
Results: the evolution of ideas about bioeconomics in science and their connection with the concept of a closed-loop economy is shown. The main directions of European policy in the field of production relations under consideration are studied, followed by French legislation and strategic planning documents for the development of the bioeconomy sector. The important role of agro-industrial clusters in the efficient use of biological resources as well as industrial symbiosis relations is revealed. These issues are considered using the example of the French cluster “Bioeconomy for change”, and the characteristics of the relations that have developed between its participants regarding the rational use of natural resources and production waste are analyzed. Measures of state support for the development of bioeconomic projects are considered using the example of the emerging biogas industry. Among such measures, the establishment of a purchase tariff for biomethane supplied to the gas distribution network, the issuance of guarantees of origin, and biogas production certificates are highlighted.
Conclusions and Relevance: the conclusion is reached that there are three key elements determining the development of the bioeconomy in France. These include a comprehensive system of regulatory and technical regulation, industrial clusters, and targeted government support, expressed, in particular, in the establishment of obligations to purchase biogas, the introduction of mechanisms for guarantees of origin, and production certificates.

Purpose: to determine the characteristics and factors of a sustainable career of an engineer in the reproduction ecosystem of an enterprise’s human capital.
Methods: this study is based on the socio-cognitive theory and the ecosystem approach, which form an idea of the components of a sustainable career of an engineer and the factors of its development. In order to confirm the theoretical positions, an empirical study was carried out, which is based on the decomposition method, questionnaires, and the correlation analysis.
Results: the article reveals the features of a sustainable career of an engineer and possibilities for its development in respond to the challenges of socio-economic growth caused by the short-age of personnel. The article presents the indicators characterizing a sustainable career, indicating the employee's satisfaction with it while maintaining a balance between work and personal life, ensuring health at the required level, and increasing labour productivity with high career potential. The characteristic of three groups of factors influencing the sustainable career of an engineer is given. Directions for developing the reproduction ecosystem of an enterprise’s human capital are proposed in accordance with each of the three groups of factors influencing the sustainable career of an engineer.
Conclusions and Relevance: the peculiarity of a sustainable career is that it is considered through the prism of subjective assessment, and its key indicators are maintaining and strengthening health, maintaining a work-life balance, ensuring high labour productivity and developing career potential ("happiness", "health", "productivity"). A sustainable career is significantly influenced by groups of the enterprise’s factors, development and individual characteristics of employees. The ecosystem of reproduction of the enterprise’s human capital plays an important role in the development of a sustainable career for its employees, since as a part of the association of the enterprise, initiating its creation with educational and scientific organizations, employees gain access to new specialized knowledge and skills, and expand professional social ties.
