Leading world countries view innovative development and high-tech business as an opportunity to overcome economic stagnation and decline in economic growth. One of the modern trends in the analysis of high-tech development is the study of high-tech knowledge-intensive service industries and their development in times of crisis. The purpose of the paper is to identify patterns of development of large, medium and small enterprises in high-tech service industries in Russia during periods of crisis. Economic and economic-mathematical methods of analysis are applied to the formed samples of enterprises. The research period is 2013-2017. The financial indicators of enterprises were adjusted for the level of accumulated inflation in relation to 2013. According to results, large and medium-sized enterprises showed insignificant or weak significant positive dynamics of revenue during all years of the crisis period. The crisis period did not lead to a decrease in the revenue of these groups of enterprises. The acute phase of the crisis (2014-2015) had a pronounced negative impact on the group of small enterprises in all studied industries, but they successfully recovered in 2016-2017 and reached the pre-crisis level of revenue. The total revenue by industries and groups of enterprises in 2017 became higher than in 2013, and its growth rates were significant for many groups of enterprises, which indicates a successful overcoming of the crisis period and signs of growth in high-tech service industries. Our study shows the need for state support for small businesses in high-tech service industries in crisis conditions, and identifies the possibilities of adaptation of enterprises in these industries to an unfavorable external environment. Our results may be useful for the purposes of government stimulation of economic development in the current environment.

Abstract Building on prior research related to (1) impact of information communication technology (ICT) and (2) operational risk management (ORM) in the context of medium and small enterprises (MSEs), the focus of this study was to investigate the relationship between (1) ICT operational risk management (ORM) and (2) performances of MSEs. To achieve the focus, the research investigated evaluating models for understanding the value of ICT ORM in MSEs. Multiple regression, Repeated-Measures Analysis of Variance (RM-ANOVA) and Repeated-Measures Multivariate Analysis of Variance (RM-MANOVA) were performed. The findings of the distribution revealed that only one variable made a significant percentage contribution to the level of ICT operation in MSEs, the Payback method (β = 0.410, p < .000). It may thus be inferred that the Payback method is the prominent variable, explaining the variation in level of evaluation models affecting ICT adoption within MSEs. Conclusively, in answering the two questions (1) degree of variability explained and (2) predictors, the results revealed that the variable contributed approximately 88.4% of the variations in evaluation models affecting ICT adoption within MSEs. The analysis of variance also revealed that the regression coefficients were real and did not occur by chance

The article describes the conditions and nature of the transfer of the Kuban industry from the policy of “war communism” to the new economic policy. The economy was based on medium-sized and small-scale industries. Large enterprises were either closed or were on the verge of closure due to the Civil war, the General decline of the economy and the rupture of economic ties. Under these conditions, the creation of a system of trusts and the transfer of small and large parts of mediumsized enterprises to private hands, as required by the party and government, the transition to the NEP were not implemented. The created trusts included medium and small enterprises that provided economic stability to associations. Established during the Civil war, the administrative and managerial apparatus has been eliminated. Certain restrictions were imposed on the phraseology, slogans, that is, in fact, external manifestations of direct and strict leadership,” command “ of the industry. The administrative apparatus has not lost the levers of direct administrative management in the economy. Maintaining direct management over the trusts described actively fighting the existing administrative-command system for their survival. Once established, the system gradually regains its right to manage the entire economy. Following some democratization of government and the weakening of the dictatorship of the state over the economy, the methods of military communism once again became leading. But this will happen after the industry and the economy as a whole will be restored, thanks to the use of market methods of management.

The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the wage system of female workers based on putting out system. The current study is located in Sidoarjo, East Java. The basic reason to choose Sidoarjo is due to its status as industrial district equipped with 2.635 large, medium, and small enterprises, including home industry that involves many female workers. Sidoarjo is also entitled to have the most Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) throughout Indonesia in 2015. The data was collected by indepth interview to key informants. Data analysis was done through the anticipation phase in the field that included data collection, data reduction, data display, and data verification refering to Data Management Analysis Methods proposed by Haberman & Miles. Results of the study showed that the regional employment policy is inseparable with the policy from the central government. Wages are given directly by the owner with its value and amount received depends on the workpiece and deposited amount. The role from both government and NGO are not adequate.

This study1 presents a methodology for assessing the strategic sustainability of enterprises in Russian regions at the micro level as a part of assessing the strategic sustainability of the complex of enterprises in a region. The authors suggest directions for fostering the economy of the depressed regions ofRussiaby improving the management of strategic sustainability of the complex of large, medium, and small enterprises in a region. The recommendations developed for federal and regional authorities on how to improve the management of the complex of enterprises in the regions are based on the hypothesis proved in the study about the dependence of economic development indicators of a region on the strategic sustainability of the complex of enterprises operating in its territory.Aim. The study aims to suggest directions for improving the management of the strategic sustainability of large, medium, and small enterprises in the depressed regions of Russia based on the formation of regional profit centers.Tasks. The authors identify the peculiarities in the development of large enterprises in the depressed regions of Russia by calculating an integrated index of economic and financial sustainability of enterprises; conduct a comparative analysis of the activities of large enterprises in depressed and developed regions to prove the hypothesis about the dependence of the economic and financial sustainability of large enterprises on the region’s level of socio-economic development; develop recommendations for federal and regional authorities on how to improve the management of the complex of large, medium, and small enterprises, including a proposal on the formation of regional profit centers.Methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of this study includes theories and concepts on the role of enterprises and entrepreneurship in the economic development of a region. The study uses general scientific methods: analysis and synthesis, comparative and statistical analysis, systematization, calculation of an integrated index, financial ratio analysis.Results. The economic and financial indicators of large businesses in depressed regions are comparable to those of large businesses in developed regions (including the development indicators of the largest enterprises included in the Expert 600 rating), with some indicators showing values that are even higher than in developed regions. This confirms the hypothesis that the level of socio-economic development of a region does not have a dominant effect on the sustainability of development of large enterprises. The level of development of regional economies depends on the regional business structure. The revealed patterns make it possible to propose directions for improving the management of strategic sustainability of enterprises in depressed regions to federal and regional authorities.Conclusions. The improvement of development management in depressed regions should be aimed at developing government support tools that facilitate the development of the complex of enterprises in the regions. It is necessary to integrate the sustainability management of the complex of enterprises in a region into the strategic management system at the federal and regional levels. Along with the implementation of national projects aimed at developing small businesses, increasing labor productivity, supporting innovation and development institutions, in depressed regions it is also necessary to implement projects aimed at developing large businesses and integrating them with medium and small enterprises based on cooperation roadmaps. A new approach to the development of depressed regions based on the formation of regional profit centers would facilitate the formation of the sustainability of the complex of enterprises in depressed regions, allowing rational use of national project funds. This study is a continuation of the article “Approaches to assessing the strategic sustainability of large, medium, and small businesses in the depressed regions of Russia” published in Ekonomika i upravlenie No. 10, 2019.

The presented study examines the results of the assessment of the strategic sustainability of the complex of large, medium, and small enterprises in Russian regions. The specific features and parameters of the complex of enterprises in the depressed regions of the Russian Federation are identified. The hypothesis about the dependence of the economic indicators of regional development on the strategic sustainability of enterprises operating in the region is confirmed. Directions for applying the results of this study to boost the economies of the depressed Russian regions by improving the management of the complex of enterprises are proposed. Aim. The study aims to analyze the methodological approaches to assessment proposed by the authors as well as the strategic sustainability of large, medium, and small enterprises in the depressed regions of Russia.Tasks. The authors develop a methodology for analyzing the strategic sustainability of the complex of large, medium, and small enterprises in Russian regions as a crucial factor of regional economic growth; identify specific features in the development of this complex in the depressed regions of Russia by calculating an integrated index for performance assessment – index of strategic sustainability of the complex of enterprises in the region; determine the sustainability parameters of the complex of enterprises in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation based on the developed system of indicators. According to the results of the study, the authors characterize directions for improving the management of the complex of large, medium, and small enterprises.Methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study comprises theories and concepts of the role of enterprises and entrepreneurship in regional economic development, allowing the authors to propose definitions for the concepts of ‘strategic sustainability of the complex of enterprises in the region’ and ‘regional profit center’. This study also uses general scientific methods: analysis and synthesis, comparative and statistical analysis, systematization, calculation of an integrated index, cluster analysis, and correlation analysis. The calculations are based on the data of the Russian Federal State Statistics Service, Russian Federal Tax Service, and SPARK database by Interfax.Results. The study shows that the complex of enterprises in depressive regions is not strategically stable. In comparison with regions where the socio-economic development rate is higher, the depressed regions of the Russian Federation have a significantly lower proportion of large business enterprises, lower labor productivity and innovative activity of enterprises, less favorable demography of enterprises, much lower share and growth rate of corporate income taxes in the total tax revenues of the region, and other indicators pertaining to the analysis of activity of enterprises. This confirms the hypothesis of the dependence of regional economic development on the business structure of the region and makes it possible to propose ways of improving the management of strategic sustainability of enterprises in depressed regions for federal and regional authorities.Conclusions. The complex of large, medium, and small enterprises in depressed regions is characterized by low and extremely low sustainability parameters, which affects the economic and social development of the regions. Many key indicators of the development of depressed regions over the past 30 years have values below 50 % of the average level in Russia. Improvement of the management of development of depressed regions should focus on enhancing government support tools that facilitate the development of the complex of enterprises in the regions. The management of sustainability of the complex of enterprises in a region should be integrated into the strategic management system at the federal and regional level.

Women’s entrepreneurship is important for women’s position in society and for economic development of a country. It opens up new avenues for creating employment opportunities for women and men. It is a matter of encouraging that a good number of women are contributing in the economic progress of Bangladesh, making them involved in medium and small enterprises. In this process, policy-related factors and institutional factors play a vital role. Government agencies provide policy, legal, and financial support, taking active support from non-state actors. Specially, NGOs have been working in Bangladesh from 1980s to create a viable social environment for business women. Though more women are now involved in economic activities than in the past, women constitute less than 10 percent of the country's total business entrepreneurs. Women do business in a masculine society where they encounter policy-related problems, and they do not get proper supports from all respective institutions because of corruption and lack of information. It is assumed that combined initiatives of government and non-government institutes will be successful in encountering the changes of business women in Bangladesh.
