Purpose: the purpose of the study is to determine the main directions and conceptual approaches to modernizing analytical and computer support for the planning of strategic development of socio-economic systems on a national scale in the framework of improving the methodology of strategic planning in a digital transformation of the economy and management.

Methods: the issues of improving the tools of strategic planning of socio-economic development are studied in the framework of a system approach to analyzing the construction and functioning of the state management mechanism in the context of active formation of the information society infrastructure and to evaluating of the impact of digital technologies on the content of management tasks in the process of co-evolution of objects and subjects of management in large-scale organizational systems.

Results: the article deals with current problems and key tasks of modernization of scientific and methodological, informational and analytical support of state strategic management of socio-economic development. The trends of the evolution of objects and subjects of management in the conditions of the digital transformation of the information society are investigated. The institutional bases for the construction and operation of the strategic planning system of the Russian Federation are characterized. A block diagram of a complex of heterogeneous models of strategic planning of socio-economic development is given. Design solutions are proposed for building the architecture and developing a prototype of the computer support system for the scenario modeling technology when developing multi-level strategic decisions for planning socio-economic development in the emerging infrastructure of the digital economy is presented.

Conclusions and Relevance: the study showed the importance and relevance of modernization of the methodological and analytical support of the strategic planning system of the Russian Federation, which takes into account the main consequences and requirements of the creation and distribution of digital technologies in various areas of society. The most important characteristics of innovative changes in the structure and content of strategic planning tasks, the solution of which is associated with the unification of the format of quantitative and qualitative assessments in the digital development management environment, are identified. Standardization of technologies for collecting, transmitting, storing and processing large amounts of data allows you to build computer software for the multi-level system of state strategic planning based on an open service-oriented architecture. The main direction of further research and development in the creation of an analytical platform to support strategic planning of socio-economic development can be the creation of a mathematical apparatus and software products for processing and analyzing large amounts of personalized information about the functioning of economic and social agents to identify and assess their potentials and priorities. This will allow to increase the degree of justification and consistency of planned decisions and regulatory measures developed by the state in the field of planning socio-economic development and ensuring the national security of the Russian Federation.

Purpose: the article presents the results of a comparative study of the achievements of the leading Russian scientific schools, which stood at the origins of the scientific production organization. The main purpose of the study is to find out which theories of national scientific schools in the field of production organization appeared at the beginning of the 20th century have remained relevant until now and can be developed in our days. First of all, these theories were considered from the standpoint of the lean manufacturing concept usage, not only for material products, but for information products as well.

Methods: the analysis and synthesis, as well as the method of analogies were used as the main methods of this scientific research.

Results: the conducted research proved that almost in all researches of the production organization in 20–30 years of XX century, as a rule, the vector of influence of human resources on the manufacturing process was implicitly present. However, at that time, the dominant role was played by the production of material economic products with a small part of the intellectual component in their structure (compared to nowadays), while today the intellectual component became incomparably larger. The result of the study was also a modified version of the Japanese concept of «4M» on the role of materials, machine, man and method of labor management with the addition of the 5th «M» (mentality – a mental state), which allows to evaluate also the intellectual and creative (intangible) component of the production process. For the first time it is offered to consider and investigate possibilities of use in practice of human resources management the concept of "intellectual and creative attitudes" as the factor defining the degree of predisposition of the worker to use his intellectual potential through the required level of the creative abilities at production of information economy products.

Conclusions and Relevance: it was shown that the subject of the in-depth research is not material products, but the information economy products, in the production of which the logic of providing the necessary information becomes crucial, taking into consideration the formation of confiding relations between the management of enterprises and their employees.

Purpose: in the present study, the author aims to analyze the strategic aspects of intellectual activity in the fashion industry and to develop recommendations for the formation of an intellectual property management system in this sector of the economy.

Methods: the study is based on the use of a set of methods of theoretical and economic analysis, including analysis and synthesis, the method of description, the method of formal logic.

Results: to achieve the purpose of the study, the author has solved the following tasks: 1) considered the key objects of intellectual property of the fashion industry, which are of strategic importance for the activities of companies in this field; 2) justified the strategic need for targeted management of intangible assets in the industry; 3) clarified the problem of intellectual property management and proposed recommendations for the formation of an appropriate strategic management system in the fashion industry.

Conclusions and Relevance: it is very important for fashion industry companies to explore their competitive advantages for successful existence in the context of increasing international competition. Competitive advantages for this field of activity are mainly expressed in intangible assets. The main strategic objects of intellectual property of enterprises of the industry are commercial product, brand and technical innovations.

The author analyzes the practices of companies in this sector of the economy in terms of situations involving to the use of objects of their intellectual property. It was revealed that the main strategic priority of managing the intellectual property of an enterprise today is the protection, preservation and development of intangible assets as a strategic resource needed to increase competitiveness, as well as the economic and information security of an enterprise. In this regard, the author proposed a strategic framework for building an intellectual property management system as a specific functional area of the centralized strategic management of the company. The study of the strategic aspects of intangible assets and the formation of the intellectual property management system is of scientific and practical interest for the development of effective strategies for the development of companies in the fashion industry.

Purpose: the purpose of the article is to study the features of regional development in terms of the need to take them into account in the formation of development strategies. The revealed features are the level of development, potential, geographical location, etc. These features are displayed in the strategy of formation of development projects in the region.

Methods: the methodological basis for the formation of prospects for the development of the region is the methodology of program-target management to solve the problems of development of complex hierarchical systems. The main elements of this methodology are the basis for programming development processes in the space "forecast-strategy-program-project".

Results: the results of the study are to determine the stages of programming the sequence of regional development, finding ways and conditions for the transition between the stages and intermediate goals of development, the formation and selection of development projects. To overcome the contradictions in the formation of the composition of the objectives of the development of projects in a hierarchical system: “macro level – the level of regions – the level of municipalities”, the top priority rule is used over the following. There is also the possibility of adding a lower level of own goals and projects, in accordance with the interests of a particular region and municipality. The task of project selection is one of the most important. Its importance lies not only in the required and available financial resources, but also in shaping the structure of the objective function of each region, adequate to the development goals. Fragments of the scheme of programming of development of the Astrakhan region are given.

Conclusions and Relevance: the current external conditions for the development of the domestic economy dictate the need for the full use of domestic resources and the capabilities of the scientific and technological potential to ensure the competitiveness of Russia. This implies a critical attitude towards the development prospects, which are formed without taking into account the national interests of our country. The complexity of strategy formation is due to the hierarchical structure of the country's economy and the difference in interests in the system “macro level – meso level – micro level”. The basis of the proposed approach to development programming is the formation of strategic forecasts. The authors proposed a sequence of actions for programming the formation and selection of development projects at the regional level, as well as a possible list of promising development goals for the region. The analysis of the peculiarities of the development of the regions showed their considerable heterogeneity, which is important to take into account when forming promising strategies. The proposed scheme for the formation of regional development strategies and the mathematical model of project selection are illustrated by the example of one of the municipalities of the Astrakhan region.

Purpose: the main objective of this article is to understand the need to formulate and then apply a single approach to strategic planning for industrial development of regions, which allows more rationally approaching strategic development planning, as separate regions and territories of the Russian Federation, and individual industries, taking into account their level of modern economic and social development, as well as their provision with various types of resources. To achieve this goal in the article it is necessary to solve the following tasks: to identify the features of management of industrial complexes in the region, to analyze the dynamics and unevenness of industrial development in key regions of Russia, to substantiate the objective necessity of targeted formation of recommendations on their industrial development.

Methods: this article is written using a systematic, functional, comparative, structural, interdisciplinary approach, as well as macro and microeconomic analysis tools applied to the development of the regional industrial sector of the economy.

Results: the article forms the idea of the expediency of applying a synthetic approach to the classification of Russian regions, which makes it possible to group the regions on the basis of quantitative indicators of social and economic development and qualitative indicators of institutional development, as well as long-term development factors of the region under consideration, taking into account the structure of the dominant industries. The presented dynamics of the development of the regions shows the unevenness of their functioning, which in turn justifies the necessity of applying a differentiated approach in the process of strategic planning for the development of the regional industries.

Conclusions and Relevance: the materials outlined in the article show the multifaceted nature of the process of managing the development of the regional industry, which consists in the need to take into account the different, sometimes multidirectional tendencies and interests of participants in the economic process at all levels of management, and the lack of a unified approach to strategic planning. Within the framework of a unified approach to strategic planning for the development of the regional industries, an important element is the spread of the practice of applying the synthetic classification of regions. The application of a single approach to the classification of regions contributes to a more competent formation of industrial policies of individual regions of the country and territories of Russia, and also creates opportunities for targeted planning, including the activation of activities of individual industries and industrial enterprises.

Purpose: the purpose of the article was to analyze the influence of sanctions on economic relations of Russia and Germany (on firm level and on foreign direct investments), to find out how far the changes influenced the innovation potential of Russia in the long term and also the role of political relations in the economic context.

Methods: the methodological base of the research is based on general scientific methods: scientific abstraction, analysis and synthesis, generalization, system-structural analysis.

Results: the author analyzes the approaches towards quantifying the sanctions influence on Russian economy and its sectors, also the author analyzes the economic relations with Germany after the sanctions (foreign direct investment, the dynamic of German companies in Russia, corporate cash flow of some German companies, import dynamic).

Conclusions and relevance: the author concludes, that although in the long run the sanctions could have an enormous impact on the innovation potential, but in the short term the overall market condition, that influences the intensity of imports and modernization of equipment, plays a bigger role. In spite of sanctions after the down turn of trade and direct investments there is a growth in amount of German business and foreign direct investment. The Russian market remains important for the German companies. The German companies are seeking to strengthening their positions. An important role plays the fact, that for the Russian companies the German ones are important suppliers of commodities and machines. This demand can’t be fully satisfied by the Asian countries.

Purpose: taking to attention exclusive role of air transport concerning necessity of providing the conditions for normal function of state economy and to satisfy the demands of population, the author put the purpose to analyze the modern condition of the Russian civil aviation development and to propose innovative arrangements in the field of modernization it's material-technical base future development and using.

Methods: the author uses the system approach to perform this research; results of the scientific research of the other specialists in the problem; structure and function analysis; the theory of competitor's struggle for market; complex analyses of statistics and expert evaluations methods.

Results: the system critical analyses of the modern condition of the Russian civil aviation material-technical base development is performed and innovative arrangements in the field of modernization Russian civil aviation material-technical base future development and using are proposed.

Conclusions and Relevance: Russian civil aviation is the single one among all another universal types of transport reached growth of all basic technic-economical indexes for last several years. Due to keeping such positive tendencies and guaranteeing modernization Russian civil aviation material-technical base future development and using on the base of innovative technologies state assistance is necessary in the field of increasing taxes, fuel prices and rent fees for using main productive funds.

Purpose: the main purpose of the work is research of the applying foreign tax experience to stimulate investment in the Russian business environment, taking into account the special role of the tax system in the national economy, it can be as both a factor in creating threats of the economic security and a resource for its provision. To achieve this goal in the article you must accomplish the following tasks: to perform systematization and critical analysis of theories, empirical research and foreign experience in applying tax incentives to attract investments; to identify the features of the tax relations of the state and business and features of the use of tax incentives in the Russian business environment.

Methods: methods of systematic, logical and comparative analysis of the scientific literature were used, an analysis of descriptive statistics was carried out taking into account the assessment of hierarchical and correlation dependencies between empirical data.

Results: numerous empirical and theoretical studies on the effectiveness of tax incentives as a tool to increase the investment attractiveness of a territory contain extremely contradictory conclusions. The effectiveness of the application of tax benefits differs depending on the conditions of doing business in the jurisdiction. There is no consensus about the effectiveness of tax benefits, the findings of scientists differ depending on the countries and methods. However, despite numerous criticisms, tax incentives remain a popular policy tool for attracting investment in developed, transitional and developing countries.

Conclusions and Relevance: tax relations are essentially multidimensional, complex, and their social, political and legal content is initially conflicting, which determines the need to find a balance between the interests of the state and business. The effectiveness of their practical application to attract investment in the Russian reality is increasing in combination with other non-tax factors, such as business conditions, infrastructure, management quality and institutional environment.

Purpose: the main purpose of this article is to study human capital as a factor of its efficiency growth. To achieve this goal in the article it is necessary to solve the following tasks: to study the theory of human capital; to study the world and domestic practice of the effectiveness of the territories (subjects of the Russian Federation); analyze human capital and efficiency of the Yaroslavl region.

Methods: this article is based on the analysis of statistical data on human capital in the regions of the Russian Federation, the analysis of statistical data on human capital in the countries of the world and the method of benchmarking (comparison of data on the effectiveness of the countries of the world and the human capital of the regions).

Results: the most important direction of development of the regional economy is the development of human capital, knowledge management and digital economy. The success of solving these problems is possible when synchronizing at the micro, meso- and macro-levels. Macro- and meso-level strategy sets the vector of micro-level development, in turn, the micro-level is an indicator of the strategy implementation.

Conclusions and Relevance: the materials presented in the article show the special role of human capital in the competitiveness of the territory. The research carried out in this article is the development of scientific ideas about modern methods of assessing the effectiveness of territories (subjects of the Russian Federation) in terms of human capital. The practical application of the results of the article will allow to assess the human capital of the regions, to compare the human capital of effective regions and outsiders, to identify weak and strong areas of the territory through which it is possible to influence the efficiency of the region.

Purpose: the article is aimed at studying the present state and current trends in R&D activities of France in the context of French state scientific policy. For that purpose the French scientific policy’s main areas and instruments were analyzed, the principle shifts were highlighted. The transformation of the French scientific policy was examined and assessed.

Methods: in the article there were used such methods as description, comparison, system principle, analytical approach and tabular method.

Results: by research findings the course of the French scientific policy’s transformation under the EU influence was stipulated. The crucial, to the author’s mind, areas of the French scientific policy were defined. Some current development trends of the French R&D activities’ were stipulated.

Conclusions and Relevance: it was proved that under the EU influence France is gradually shifting away from its traditional tough regulation of the national innovation system toward stimulating private innovations and developing R&D infrastructure. Among crucial areas and instruments of the French scientific policy there were: direct financing; providing tax reliefs; regionalization and clusterization; support of SMEs; development of universities’ research potential; stimulating cooperation between research institutions, just as between research institutions and industrial firms. Among crucial trends of change there were: R&D expenditures increase among universities and industrial companies, including fundamental research R&D; state research institutes’ R&D expenditures downfall in 2010 and their further stagnation; attempts to copy some US innovation development experience. It was shown that the reforms implemented, though get some increase of R&D activity of commercial firms, are not effective enough, according to some experts, because of bureaucratization and sometimes come down to creation of new bureaucratic institutions or their merging.

Purpose: the main purpose of this article is to review the Japanese policy to promote cooperation between the academic and large corporate sectors in the field of science and technology, and to analyze its role in the formation of the innovation system in Japan.

Methods: this article is based on the analysis of scientific and analytical materials on the problem of research. The factual basis is the framework documents of the Cabinet of Japan.

Results: the article provides a brief retrospective review on the support policy for universities and large corporate sector cooperation, identifies the key factors for the establishment of intersectoral cooperation; identifies the problem areas of the implemented policy that hinder the achievement of the set goals. The relative failure of the applied measures in the sphere of venture business support, commercialization of technologies and other instruments was noted. The hypothesis is put forward about the insufficiency of government efforts to monitor and analyze the activities already implemented, the lack of practice of taking into account failures in the formation of new programs and projects. Also revealed contradictions between the support programs implemented through various government agencies, which also leads to the inefficiency of scientific and technological projects and the establishment of dialogue with the corporate sector, including the need to resolve bureaucratic disagreements. It is also necessary to emphasize, that Japanese experience in implementing of science and technology and innovation policy is very important for Russian economic development. In particular, special attention is paid to study foreign experience in creating an effective mechanism of academic and private sectors interaction, where the key-supporting role is played by government in case of Japan. No doubt, it is not justified to try to copy any foreign institutional system, but the analysis of the negative and positive effects of foreign economic system cases is very valuable for self-institutional mechanisms development.

Conclusions and Relevance: the analysis leads to the conclusion that Japan has not yet completed the transformation to a modern model of the national innovation system, the current problem is the weakness of relations between the academic and corporate sectors. At the same time, there is an excessive, "paternalistic" role of the state in the organization of intersectoral interactions, in the absence of attention to the optimization of conditions and incentives for this kind of dialogue. The Japanese government actively supports and tries to develop the practice of "open innovation" business model, but due to the obsolescence of existing institutional structures, as well as their unpreparedness to the development and perception of radically new business models, has not yet been able to achieve concrete sustainable results.
