  Abstract: Marina N. Rudenko
  The relevance of the study is conditioned by the fact that the use of foreign labour is a widespread practice for modern businesses throughout the world, including the Russian Federation. The purpose of the paper is to reflect the trends, prospects and problems of the use of foreign labour in entrepreneurial activity in Russia to maintain sustainable development in the context of national security and the need for state regulation of immigration. In addition, methods for assessing labour mi-gration in Russia have been selected and investigated, on the basis of which statis-tical indicators of changes in the scale of labour and other immigration to Russia, the impact of these processes on the labour market and on well-being of society have been analysed. The use of advanced foreign experience in labour immigra-tion management was also proposed, namely, the score assessment of potential labour migrants before the issuance of permits, the possibility of allowing foreign students to work before and after graduation to increase the attraction of qualified labour, digitalisation in this area. Prospects for further research are related to the study of the migration policy development in Russia, management of labour im-migration, including in the context of development of a single labour market for the EAEU countries, which is currently taking place. The applied value of the ma-terial lies in the systematisation of information on trends in the development of labour immigration in the Russian Federation, migration flows and problems asso-ciated with their well-being.

  Abstract: Yermek Buribayev, Elina Kim, Elmira Kenzhibekova, Malik Shaigaliyev
  The striving of the Republic of Kazakhstan for international integration and entry into influential international structures is impossible without the introduction of advanced experience in the field of labour law. Therewith, the labour law of each country is a unique and very broad branch of law; therefore, for the purposes of this study, such parameters as wages, provisions on weekends and holidays, as well as the issue of concluding and terminating an employment contract as the most fundamental labour law issues. To achieve the objectives of the study, the comparative method is used as the main one, both in horizontal and vertical as-pects. At the same time, the classical inductive method is used to formulate many provisions as an addition. For comparison, the authors of the study take the expe-rience of the United States, Russia, and China as the main trading partners of Ka-zakhstan, relations with which are of decisive importance for the country. From the stated provisions, it was concluded that the labour law of the Republic of Ka-zakhstan is quite progressive, although they need to be adjusted. Among the ana-lysed provisions, first of all, it is necessary to correct the size of the minimum wage, as the most important economic and legal indicator, and also to consider the pos-sibility of extending the minimum paid leave from 24 to 28 days. Therewith, the provisions on a written employment contract and the protection of employees from unjustified dismissal are quite progressive.

  Abstract: Anatoliy Kostruba
  This paper discusses the legal aspects of the activities of transnational corpora-tions. The relevance of the subject matter is determined by the significant impact exerted by transnational corporations on the world economy in general and on the economic situation of the country in which such corporations are registered as a subject of legal form of ownership in particular. Quality functioning of transna-tional corporations is an effective factor for the formation of sustainable devel-opment. This study reveals and determines the relationship between the scale of activity of transnational corporations and their legal status within the framework of both single countries and entire economic communities, the individual subjects of law of which are transnational corporations. The practical significance of this study lies in the possibility of identifying and stating key aspects that play a signif-icant role in assessing the practical activities of transnational corporations in the context of existing legal law with the ability to use the identified patterns in specific legal practice. The results of this study can be of significant practical importance for employees in the field of legal support for the activities of transnational-scale corporations, who are faced with the need to deeply analyse the legal aspects of the activities of these organisations and provide management of such structures with timely, high-quality legal recommendations regarding the correction of the activities of these organisations in the context of the existing legal field.

  Abstract: Zhanat Makasheva
  The global political situation is evolving and changing, especially in conditions when the countries of Central Asia become attractive to foreign transnational cor-porations (TNCs). But there is a question regarding the necessity of attracting for-eign TNCs and endangering other countries, if there is an opportunity to develop national corporations, which in turn can enter the markets of other countries and influence such geopolitical processes in the world as economic restructuring, pace of development, transformation of the world economic hierarchy, and extension of integration processes. It is necessary to analyse these tendencies and form an appropriate domestic policy guided by the principles of sustainable development. In the context of globalisation, transnationalisation is determined by the activities of TNCs. The authors analysed the role and place of TNCs in the processes of globalisation, the formation of national interests and security of the country evi-dence from the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Central Asian Region (CAR). The main purpose of the study is to identify the challenges and threats posed by trans-national corporations on the development of the country’s economy, to identify specific areas and spheres of influence of these forces on the foreign and domestic policies of sovereign states, primarily on the violation of national interests and sovereignty of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the CAR countries. Therefore, for Kazakhstan and the CAR countries, it is very important not only to determine the maximum possibilities for maintaining national sovereignty, but also to develop measures to prevent the weakening of the country’s security from transnational corporations.

  The progress of market relations without fail requires a theoretical understanding of the various legal forms of doing business, where special attention is given to business partnerships. In world practice, such enterprises are successfully used for small and medium-sized businesses. At the present stage, this legal form is used to create short-term joint ventures, especially for the implementation of short-term investment projects. The issues of the legal status of business partnerships as a factor of sustainable development are traditionally widely covered in civil law, at the same time, the legal status of business partnerships of the Republic of Kazakh-stan and the Russian Federation should be given more attention in the context of the realities of today's innovative processes and reforming national legislation. The research using approbation of a set of scientific methods made it possible to reveal legal approaches to the study of business partnerships, to analyse the relevant cur-rent legislative framework, to assess its effectiveness and compliance with the re-quirements of updated business processes. The article substantiates that business partnerships are the most accessible legal form of doing business in many coun-tries, while also remaining the prevailing form in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation. In turn, it was stated that the legislation of the Russian Federation is only on the way of its comprehensive reform in the field of legal regulation of the position of business partnerships (general and lim-ited partnerships), which requires a balanced development and adoption of a sin-gle federal normative legal act.

  The article is devoted to the research of scientific issues related to acceleration of innovative development of spatial economy, the provision of the theoretical basis for the formation of zones of innovation growth of individual territories (regions). The degree of influence of innovations on the nature of the territorial organization of economic activity determines the level of well-being in society. The purpose of the study was to identify the features and contradictions of the current state of the system of territorial organization of innovation activity. The issue of diffusion of innovation has been studied in terms of representing and positioning a separate territory (region) as a subject of economic relations, a multifunctional and multi-faceted economic system, but not as a place of concentration of means of pro-duction and labor. The further development, the symbiosis of the regionalism the-ory, in particular the spatial organization of production, along with the theory and practice of innovative entrepreneurship, is the substantiation of creation and de-velopment of the territorial poles of innovation growth. It is proved that the effi-cient innovation policy in a certain economic space of activity should be based on the functional properties of the forms of spatial organization of production on the one hand, and the placement of productive forces, on the other hand. The idea of the nature and character of the existing forms of modern territorial organization of innovation activity embedded in a kind of network design, which is the projection of production networks in a certain territory, or so-called "place-connected net-works", is explored and developed.

  The article is devoted to theoretical, methodological and practical research of the problem of ensuring the competitiveness and the sustainability of railway transport enterprises in conditions of the deep socio-economic and political crisis in Ukraine. It was established that in modern crisis conditions, in order to ensure a stable competitive position in the passenger and freight transport market, railway transport enterprises should focus on the systematic introduction of innovations, improving management methods, and enhance the quality of business processes. The definition of the concept of "competitiveness of railway transport enterprises" was clarified by summarizing scientific works and studying the competitive ad-vantages of industry enterprises. The main requirements of consumers for the ser-vices of railway transport enterprises are systematized, the consideration of which in the process of transport services will contribute to increasing the competitive ad-vantage of railway enterprises. An algorithmic sequence of benchmarking for rail-way transport enterprises was created in the article. An innovative model for ensur-ing the competitiveness and the sustainability of railway transport enterprises has been developed, which contributes to their adaptation to a dynamic external envi-ronment by organizing the continuity of innovative development aimed at finding and constantly introducing innovations as a basis for the formation of sustainable competitive advantages by railway transport enterprises in a crisis environment. It has been proved that the effectiveness of the implementation of this model de-pends on the balanced functioning of all its elements and taking into account the operational and strategic goals of the innovative development of railway transport enterprises.

  Abstract: Nicola Marinelli, Gian Paolo Cesaretti, Immacolata Viola
  Modern society shows a very strong need to look for a "dynamic equilibrium be-tween local capital and the demand for well-being". This transition towards sus-tainability requires the beginning of a process that is able to satisfy, in every eco-nomic cycle, the demand for well-being and the replicability of the "four stocks of capital". The paper shows how the implementation of what Pearce and Turner called a "Circular Economic System" can make this possible, and highlights how new strat-egies for the adoption of a "Circular Economic Model" represent the condition for the circularity of development models.Moreover, the paper discusses how, given a radical change of strategy on a global and local level, the implementation of a circular process in rural areas to create in-dividual and collective well-being allows these areas to offer an important contri-bution to the transition.

  The study proposes the construction of a statistical model of the company’s eco-logical and economic state, using the synthesis of econometrics and multidimen-sional forecasting methods, which provide the correlation of the obtained indica-tors, taking into account mutual proportionality in relation to the dynamic charac-teristics of environmental sustainability factors within the framework of the sus-tainable development paradigm. A combined model is implemented with a step-by-step modification of the matrix predictor into a regression-matrix one. Using the method of least squares, the study shows the codependency of the ecological and economic indicators of the sustainability of the enterprise: the cost of capital repairs of fixed assets for environmental protection; labor payment expenditures, including deductions for social needs of employees involved in environmental pro-tection; operating environmental costs; sales revenue; profitability of production and sales. The obtained regression coefficient showed a high degree of dependence of the closeness of the relationship of the considered environmental and economic indicators of sustainability (more than 98%), which proves their codependency and the need for their balanced use, since the value of at least one of the indica-tors outside the optimal range allows us to state a high probability of financial damage for enterprises. Using a combined model based on a matrix predictor, the study demonstrates the calculation of the predicted values of environmental and economic indicators of sustainability for 2021.The peculiarity of this model is to take into account the lagging (up to 2 years) values of factors and their growth over the previous period (for 1 year). The proposed model contains a mechanism of multivariate expectations, which allows us to consider various options for the future. Also, this model allows the automation of the forecasting process, which is reflected in the implementation of the trend of transition to the digital space in the implementation of sustainable development goals.

  Abstract: Oksana Dobrovolskaya, Nadiya Stovolos, Andrey Lipatov, Uliana Borisova, Oleg Volodin
  The central aim of this study was to create a vector typology of corporate development models in the context of sustainability. The methodological basis for its achievement was represented by a systematic review of the literature describing the origins of sustainability models and the identification of the most prioritized SDGs in business and society. As the central methodological tools to determine a competitive sustainability model, classification analysis and grounded theory method were used. The research revealed that the stakeholder-centered model is the best solution to perform competitive corporate management in the context of sustainability. Stakeholder-centered model can be expanded by including social and ethical parameters, as well as giving consideration to innovations.

  Abstract: Mariusz Baranowski
  This article deals with participatory culture through the prism of new media, identi-fied as standard with the development of information and communication tech-nologies (ICT) and information technology (IT). These technologies (co-)constitute the foundation of the network society, also referred to as the information society, and influence the economy and - undoubtedly - the cultural sphere. The main re-search problem posed in this article concerns reflections on participation patterns mediated by the new media in the context of psychological well-being and its op-posite the state of ill-being. This task requires a redefinition of the notions of par-ticipatory culture and new media and the adoption of specific determinants of well-being and ill-being, which - unlike in the case of the psychology of happiness - is concretised through sociologically understood categories of redistribution and recognition.

  Abstract: Daniela Covino, Flavio Boccia, Immacolata Viola
  The aim of the present study is to underline and syntetize a possible consumer be-haviour and willingness to pay towards a particular type of genitally modified food linked to specific indications on the label about the implementation of corpo-rate social responsibility initiatives by manufacturing companies. Through a quan-titative model on a sample of hundreds Italian families, it was possible to consider possible consumers’ preferences regarding that consumption through a choice ex-periment and to verify the drivers of that purchase and preference heterogeneity across consumers’ choice, and the willingness to pay, for the products with those features. Indications obtained from the relationships between the variables ana-lyzed also form a topic for future studies and useful for companies’ strategies.

  Abstract: Laura Emma Milani Marin, Jeremy Oscar Smith Pezua Sanjinez, Alessandra Cecilia Jacomuzzi
  Insects as food is a recommended cultural shift by the FAO, especially among Western consumers. The objective of this study is to understand those elements, which can most contribute to explaining the desire to eat insects as food. There-fore, we evaluated people’s knowledge and beliefs about the benefits deriving from the farming and consumption of insects, for the health of man and the plan-et. Furthermore, we investigated people’s perceived credibility towards the main sources of communication that can convey information on insects as food. Final-ly, some suggestions for possible future communication campaigns are presented.
