It may be done only due to scientifically grounded modernization of the roads economy material-technical base on the base of innovative technologies and progressive world experience in the field of roads construction

Purpose: this paper analyzes and forecasts medium- to long-term dynamics of Smart Grid technology developments considering both patent activity and socio-economic (demand-side issues and requirements of economy and power system) factors. Methods: for the analysis of Smart Grid patent data (IIP, USPTO, and WIPO patent databases used) we apply syntactic semantic analysis of texts in natural languages and logistic curve-based method. We propose Exactus Patent system for intelligent full-text search and analysis of patents (results verified with Thomson Innovation and TotalPatent patent search systems). For interpretation of revealed dynamics and forecasting of future conditions we identify key long-term socio-economic factors drivers for Smart Grid development. Elements of C. Christensen (disruptive innovations) and G. Dosi (technological trajectories) theories were applied. Results: the study reveals a fast technological transformation within the Smart Grid domain due to the long-term socio-economic factors such as rise of renewables; energy efficiency and energy security issues; environmental constraints and shift of values; requirements for accelerated grid construction (in developing economies) and grid modernization (in developed ones); ongoing economy-wide digitalization. Due to the limited economic effects of Smart Grid roll-outs (considering major requirements of economic agents and society) and considering progressions of patent dynamics, authors forecasts technology stagnation (in terms of number of patents growth) by the end of 2010-s as end of Gartner`s hype development stage. Conclusions and Relevance: a foreseen change in dynamics of Smart Grid technology development is interpreted as a manifestation of sinusoidal fluctuations in technology development for disruptive technologies (supported with OECD data). A longer cycle (in comparison with other disruptive technologies) is interpreted as consequence of technology and industry specifics (capital intensity, long-term R&D, etc.), as well as powerful influence of key socio-economic factors. A new growth period (with less impressive growth pace) and appearance of new generations of technology would become possible in 2020s after development of new business models, monetization schemes and better alignment of Smart Grid technologies and functionality to stakeholders` interests, values and society requirements. This allows authors to correct G. Dosi theory, considering iterative nature of socio-economic corrections of technology trajectories.

Purpose: the purpose of this publication is to assess legal guaranties of competition (free competition) between contractors in broadly perceived process of granting public procurement, which means not only entering into a contract subject to the specific legal regime, concluded by a public purchaser, or possible private purchaser subordinated to that legal regime, with a contractor (contractors) in order to satisfy its demand for certain goods or services, but also a due course of the whole process of granting public procurement, perceived as a sequence of factual and legal actions beginning with the moment of public announcement of a procurement, sending an invitation for submitting offers or sending invitation to negotiate for selection of an offer of a given contractor, up till final fulfilment of all obligations of the parties under the public procurement contract. Methods: the major research method is the dogmatic-legal method, namely an analysis of legal text of different laws. Moreover, there is a critical analysis of scholar literature. The most important in this context is to indicate mutual co-relations between competition and fair competition in area of public procurement system and to point other major principles of the public procurement process, such as non-discrimination rule, transparency, impartiality and objectiveness rule, legality rule, openness, rule of written form, primate of using tender mode (competitive mode, in another words it is a rule of extraordinary application of non-competitive modes or primate of granting public procurement in a tender mode). All of those rules constitute together components of the guarantee of genuine competition within the whole process of granting a public procurement. It must be stressed that the literature in the area of research in not really rich. This is accurate in terms of Polish literature and EU literature, too. Results. Conclusions and relevance: results of the research are such that new 2014 EU public procurement directives, viz. Directive 2014/23/ EU, Directive 2014/24/EU and Directive 2014/25/EU, are not really aimed at fostering the competition as the main goal. Nevertheless, a specific and deep analysis of regulation of mentioned directives leads to the conclusion that those directives provide for bigger and broader economic competition. This is achieved generally thanks to opening of the public procurement market for micro, small and medium enterprises (SMBs’ sector).

Purpose: the main objective of this article consists in definition of factors (prerequisites) of emergence of crisis of the industrial enterprises and development of adequate ways of their overcoming. Methods: by preparation of materials of article methods of a tree of the purposes. Results: one of possible interpretations of a form of manifestation of crisis of the industrial enterprise is the decline in demand for his production caused by a number of objective and subjective factors. Such approach allows to propose a complex of the solutions capable to level or to significantly weaken their action, taking into account a primacy of a problem of preservation of the operating enterprise as economically expedient form of connection of work and the capital. Conclusions and Relevance: the results of a research presented in article demonstrate that crisis management can't come down only to the regulations and decisions ordered by the legislation on bankruptcy. The modern science and practice offers other ways of a conclusion of the enterprises from crisis contrary to a relevant provision providing a priority of a problem of preservation of business instead of his elimination during the competitive procedures.

Purpose: the purpose of this article is to describe the Strategy Alignment Metamodel of the project and current activities, which allows us to connect the Goals and Strategies for Phases of the project with the Goals and Strategies of the company at all levels of the organization through targeted measurement and application of Interpretive Models. Building Networks of Goals and Strategies, and adopting organizational solutions, you coordinate the interaction of the Project office and departments of the company. This methodology is based on a Logical Rationale of the Contexts and Assumptions for establishing Goals and Strategies both for the project and for the company, and on preparation of Contexts and Assumptions, Goals and Strategies Alignment Matrices, which provides a flexible adaptation to the internal and external environment in the process of selecting the most successful Strategies to achieve the Goals. Methods: this article is based on the concept of Goals-Questions-Metrics+ Strategies, which is adapted as another concept of strategic monitoring and control system of projects: Goals-Phases-Metrics+Strategies. These concepts have formed the basis of the Strategy Alignment Metamodel, where a technology of Phases Earned Value Management is used as a measurement system for the project activity, and Balanced scorecard is applied for current operations. Results: strategy Alignment Metamodel of the project and current activities of the company is proposed hereby. It uses modern strategic monitoring and control systems for projects: Goals-Phases-Metrics+Strategies, and for the company: Goals-Questions-Metrics+ Strategies. The interaction between these systems is based on Contexts and Assumptions, Goals and Strategies Alignment Matrices. The existence of such matrices greatly simplifies management decisions and prevents the risk of delays in the execution of project Phases based on rational participation and coordination of the company’s departments. This model and the Networks of Goals and Strategies of the project and current activities, which are produced on its basis, have found practical application in the realization of construction project of production line of the LNG plant (Liquefied Natural Gas) and have led to effective communication between the Project office, departments and external stakeholders. Conclusions and Relevance: these studies show that the Strategy Alignment Metamodel is effective in the coordination of the project and current activities; as a result it is possible to agree the Contexts and Assumptions as well as Goals and Strategies. Forming Networks of Goals and Strategies, it is easier to monitor the activities of the departments of the company in case of their participation in the execution of the project phases and divide responsibilities between them. Application of Strategy Alignment Metamodel leads to better identification and management of risks that arise due to poor communication of the Project office with the departments of the company in delegation of works on the project Phases execution. Single database for Networks of Goals and Stretegies, Contexts and Assumptions, Goals and Strategies Alignment Matrices can serve as templates for future projects and training of the company’s project managers.

Purpose: the main goal of the article is to investigate the possibilities of improving the procedures for organizing the optimal admission of students to higher education institutions that train modern specialists. In view of the fact that creative managers and entrepreneurs are vitally important for the national economy of Russia and its trade and economic partners, ready to assume managerial responsibility and entrepreneurial risks in turbulent economic conditions. Higher education in the global value system is regarded as the most significant factor in the economic and social development of national cultures and is realized in the conditions of severe competition in the educational market. Methods: the following basic research methods were used to solve the tasks: comparative analysis, scientific classification, systematization, theoretical generalization, and statistical methods. Results: scientific and methodical support of rational procedures for organizing the optimal reception of students with the greatest economic effect and level of education on the basis of the economic-mathematical model and the principles of multi-criteria choice was developed. Conclusions and Relevance: the subsystem of paid education in the field of higher education has led to the intensification of comprehensive studies to improve the efficiency of entrepreneurial activity, especially at the stage of preparation for admission of applicants for the forthcoming academic year to state budget and non-state educational institutions.

Purpose: the main purpose of this article is to identify « growth points» of economic growth in the regions, determine their type, and assess the conditions for their development. Methods: the main feature of this study is to obtain an expert assessment of the qualitative aspects of regional development. The main source of empirical data was an online survey conducted by the authors in 2016. Results: the study identified potential «growth points» in five regions of the Russian Federation and determined their nature according to the idea of modernizing the socio-economic environment. The selected points allow to develop the potential of the region horizontally. However, there are certain problems that hinder this development and they have been identified. Conclusions and Relevance: at the moment, the identified «growth points» can not be classified as information or intellectual, but in all regions there is the possibility of activating such industries. The «growth points» allocated by experts are still potential, because their technical, technological and innovative components have medium level of development. «Growth points» in the Republic of Sakha and the Nizhny Novgorod region have a greater modernization activity. Such expertise can be used by local authorities to adjust development vectors and strategies. It can also be an element of monitoring the socioeconomic development of regions.

Purpose: the aim of the work is to substantiate methodological approaches to create the most important component of strategic planning – its regulatory framework. The relevance of the chosen topic of this article is due to the fact that in modern conditions, strategic planning is an important tool for ensuring sustainable development and increasing the competitiveness of the domestic economy. It allows you to identify the most important and priority areas of activity, distribute and ensure the effective use of available limited labor, material and, most importantly, financial resources. Today, domestic strategic planning has a number of significant shortcomings, the main one of which, in our opinion, is the lack of reliable initial information for forecasting and analytical calculations. Methods: the methodological basis is the dialectical method of scientific cognition, the systemic and institutional approach to building an effective information base of strategic planning. In the course of research of the current state and level of industrial rationing, methods of analysis and synthesis, comparisons and analogies were used. As a methodological basis of this article, regulatory legal documents were used in the field of strategic planning in Russia, as well as methodological documents that previously operated in the USSR on the regulation of resource consumption. Results: the result of the work are the goals, tasks and requirements for the strategic planning base proposed by the author. The relationship of production rationing with the basic principles of strategic planning is shown - balance and consistency in priorities, goals, objectives, activities, resources and timing; The effectiveness of methods and methods for achieving goals with the least expenditure of resources used. The possibility of the existence of a standardization of labor costs, the consumption of material and production resources, regardless of the form of ownership of the means of production and methods of price regulation, is proved. Conclusions and Relevance: сurrently, direct borrowing of foreign methodological approaches to strategic planning seems to be sufficiently problematic, since they do not take into account (and cannot take into account) the specific realities and mentality of the Russian economy. Therefore, Russia needs to create its own system of state strategic planning, as a methodical basis for the development of a regulatory framework which can be based on the approach proposed in the work.

Purpose: in modern conditions development of the region is a necessary element of the transition to the new paradigm of economic growth. It is known that scientific and technological progress, which is the result of the knowledge economy is intended to implement technological innovations that should lead to an increase in productivity, renewal of fixed capital and competitiveness. The status of the regions of the Russian Federation, especially in the North Caucasus Federal district (NCFD), raises the need to identify technological potential, which they have that will allow you to change the structure of the economy, to identify the most important directions of its modernisation, to improve existing technology. Methods: methodological base of research is based on the use of a systematic approach and statistical analysis methods. Applied methods of scientific abstraction, analysis and synthesis, analogies and scientific generalizations. Results: the main task that remains is to solve the North Caucasus Federal district regions is to uncover technological structure, which is dominant. Knowledge of the state of the technological structure of the region will set out its development strategy, which can be based on the use of their own potential or the application of the principles of catch-up development, from the point of view of which it is possible to implement "step over" through technological modes by conducting innovative and technological policy that will promote a new economy. Conclusions and Relevance: implementation of planned actions is possible with the use of the theory of technological structures. Approach to the study of the region from the position of this theory allows a deeper look at the status of the economic structure of the region (country), trends of its development, to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the place in the technological development of industries, to identify the main (backbone) path of further growth.

Purpose: the main goal of the article is to study the possibilities of increasing the sustainability of world economic development to the crisis fluctuations of national economies and their aggregated groups under conditions when the fluctuations induced in the global crisis by the global crisis manifest coherence features. Methods: the analysis of coherent interaction processes of a set of discrete macroeconomic cycles is performed to compare the individual data of managed economic systems with the possibilities of regulating the degree of coherence of fluctuations of key processes in the national economy. Results: the necessity of transition from consideration of a separate macroeconomic cycle as a discrete process to a coherent-resonant multicyclic paradigm of economic development under which chaotic crisis phenomena are represented as external manifestations of macroeconomic nonlinear synchronization of quasiharmonic oscillations within the framework of cyclic dynamics of various processes of economic development is substantiated. Stabilization in these conditions is achieved by forming optimal values of the package of investments that form the regions of stabilization synchronization in the economy through the "damping" of the amplitude of destructive cycles and the creation of conditions for their asymmetry, depending on the intensity of crisis fluctuations. The necessity of establishing procedures for the international coordination of the anti-crisis policies of individual states within the framework of international clusters is substantiated using the coherent resonance model arising from the synchronization of cyclical and acyclic crisis fluctuations. Conclusions and Relevance: the influence of the dynamic properties of a multicyclic system on the behavior of its local elements (cycle synchronization, cyclic and acyclic dynamics, etc.) with respect to the dynamics of compound evolutionary (including degrading) subsystems determines the probability of transitions between stationary states of the system as a result of iterative successive losses Sustainability of economic development, etc. As a result, it is possible to maintain the sustainability of economic development at various levels of governance in the world economy. The considered administrative technology is proposed as an integral part of technologies for managing economic systems as subsystems of the world economy.

Purpose: study and evaluation of modifiable potential risk factors of health of heads of medical organizations in terms of structural and technological modernization of the health system, the growing need for highly qualified management personnel. Efficiency of activity of medical associations largely due to the level of health managers, allowing to solve problems of activities of medical organizations in the modern fastchanging environmental conditions. Based on international experience and our own research the authors identified features of the state of health of heads of medical organizations, and the degree of exposure to risk factors for no communicable diseases; considered approaches to assess motivation and psychological readiness to promote the health and potential of managerial personnel in the formation of health-saving behavior. Methods: in the present study, the following methods were used: systemic approach, content analysis, methods of social diagnosis (questionnaires, interviews), comparative analysis, method of expert evaluations, and method of statistical processing of information. Results: reviewed and proposed approaches to use preventive measures prevention of risk factors of non-communicable diseases healthcare leaders, forming health-preserving behavior. Conclusions and Relevance: in modern scientific studies on the health of medical workers, including heads of medical institutions, defined the modern methodological approaches to formation of health-saving behavior and maintaining healthy lifestyle health care workers. Despite the high awareness of heads of medical organizations in the area of influence of risk factors on health, accessibility of medical care for the diagnosis and correction of risk factors of chronic no communicable diseases, risk factors of health among healthcare leaders have sufficient prevalence. Health-promoting behavior model is not a conscious lifestyle leader and formed as a reaction if you have symptoms of health disorders. Among the leaders of medical organizations appears typical for the whole population the situation: lack of awareness of the true state of their health, the presence of manifestations of the negative impact of modifiable risk factors of health, low motivation and psychological readiness for health promotion. The necessary intensification of actions aimed at shaping the attitudes of the heads of medical institutions for their health as the managed category healthy behavior. The health of the heads of medical institutions affect the efficiency of healthcare organizations and is reflected in the quality of medical care provided to the population.

Purpose: this article focuses on the question of formation and development of the social protection system of disabled people in Russia. Modern social Russian policy is aimed at ensuring equal rights and opportunities in the realization of potential abilities and individual resources of each member of society. The importance of the chosen topic is connected with the consistently high number of people with disabilities. According to UN statistics, every tenth person on the planet (more than 750 million people) has some form of disability and at least 25% of the population suffer from various health disorders. Currently, the disability of working citizens, especially among initially examined, is very significant. Annually in Russia the status of a disabled person is acquired by more than 2 million people, among which about 700 thousand people – for the first time, and this is a half of working people. Almost 80% of disabled people of working age don't work. Disabled people as a social category of people need significant measures of social protection. These types of aid are defined by the legislation, however, it should be noted that these legal acts relate to privileges, benefits, pensions, etc., aimed at the maintenance of life, passive consumption of material support. However, people with disabilities need such state support, which would encourage them to socially useful activity, inhibiting dependency. Essentially we are talking about the full integration of disabled people into society, which is the ultimate goal of their vocational rehabilitation. In this regard, currently, in modern Russia there is a need for a scientific concept of vocational rehabilitation of invalids, based on the reconstruction of the social and labor status of people with disabilities and their inclusion into the labor market. Methods: this article is based on the use of graphics processing methods and synthesis of information, methods of system analysis, expert assessments and analysis of empirical data. Results: in the article different approaches to the study of aspects of vocational rehabilitation of people with disabilities are shown. Conclusions and Relevance: the practical significance of the research is finding ways to increase employment of people with disabilities in order to attract additional labor resources in the economy, and improve the level and quality of life of citizens with disabilities.
