The Creation

The purpose of the study was to assess the efficiency and accessibility of microcredits for small Ukrainian enterprises and to justify the feasibility of strengthening government contributions in lending to ensure the sustainable development of small businesses. Indicators for evaluating the efficiency and accessibility of microcredits are systematized. Methodological approaches to assessing the efficiency of lending for the creation and development of microenterprises have been improved. A model for evaluating the efficiency of microcredits aimed at the survival of microenterprises in a deteriorating environment was developed. It has been revealed that the level of efficiency of microcredit creation for firms in some time intervals depends quadratically on the share of microcredits in the total amount of funds directed to the creation of firms. A linear relationship between the relative amount of credit received and the growth rate of firms’ assets has also been established. However, there is no significant impact of the microcredit’s amount on labor productivity. A method has been developed for evaluating the budgetary efficiency of microcredits when such a lending is carried out using funds from state or local budgets. It was found that improving these lending conditions through budget financing can significantly increase its attractiveness for microenterprises without significantly reducing the budgetary efficiency of microcredits. This article substantiates the need to strengthen state support for microcrediting of small Ukrainian enterprises in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

There are currently various social innovation practices and efforts to address sustainability and its impact on the world. One of them is the use of the appreciative inquiry methodology (AIM), which results in applying a SOAR analysis focused on sustainability and discovering the strengths, opportunities, aspirations, and results of a company. Thus, the company plays a fundamental role through corporate social responsibility (CSR) that seeks to carry out concrete actions that benefit society. This chapter will define what this methodology consists of, its scope, uses, and initiatives that have adopted it as part of their practices for the measurement and promotion of sustainability. One of the main results of using this methodology is to share success stories about innovations that meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through organizations such as AIM2Flourish and B Corp.

This chapter presents the importance of understanding how a country's competitiveness is evaluated according to international reports as well as in specific terms that assess the country logistics achieved. These results show the main variables to determine why certain levels of competitiveness are reached. On the other hand, a reflection will be presented, showing that it is necessary to include variables that must be taken into account, that promote or will be possible barriers to sustainable development, which in the long term define the sustainable development of a country. Subsequently, the structure of the supply chain management (SCM) proposed by different authors and which is required to allows to define in a company what are the elements required to be able to structure of its SCM are shown. Additionally, a relationship between the elements necessary for development of competitiveness and sustainability will be established, integrating these components with the concepts of the SCM, where the results will be environmental SCM, i.e. ESCM.

The article discusses the issues of sustainable development. The implementation of the sustainable development concept involves the integration of different levels of government and bringing the approach to the level of business and individual projects. A company may have a different degree of economic stability, the measurement of which can be accomplished through the analysis of the cost structure of the product sold, including the costs of maintaining the environment. Evaluation of the project can be carried out taking into account the levels of initiation and levels of its impact on sustainable development. We propose a method of evaluation that allows taking into account all three aspects: economic, social and environmental. In the process of assessing the sustainability of the project it is advisable to take into account the full life cycle. The article shows how to take into account the parameters that characterize the activity and the product produced by the asset. By themselves, the project or the circumstances of its implementation could result in your loss of stability of the system in which it is located. It is recommended to evaluate the loss of stability in private terms, and as a whole for the project — based on the calculation of the integral indicator.

Nowadays, the economic situation of a company is influenced by the dynamics of changes in external factors that directly affect the company development. This significantly complicates the decision-making system of the management aimed at improving the sustainability of implemented changes. At the same time, the problem is affected by the lack of understanding at what stage of sustainable development the enterprise itself is in order to choose a set of tools correctly (methods and practices) for a transformational project. The paper describes the progressive movement of the organization along the path of sustainable development, reveals the concept of sustainable development and examines existing approaches to its implementation. The problem of sustainable development is considered by domestic and foreign authors. The result of the work is an approach to assessing the level of sustainable development of a company, which uses a matrix for assessing the level of maturity in the context of the company’s development stages. There has been proposed the structure of the project office as a resource for the implementation of its development. The paper offers a set of sustainable development principles which allow to ensure for the promotion and support of transformation. To support the processes of regular analysis of the achievement of the sustainable development goals, it is proposed to apply methods of activity analysis within the management system. The author suggests to use a system of audits, defines a set of analysis indicators of audit quality and the list of evaluation questions. It is concluded that the system for assessing the level of sustainable development of the enterprise is adequate and effective in the long term. The application of the presented methodological approach based on the proposed eleven elements in the practical activities of enterprises will allow determining the points of application of efforts and correctly choosing the list of tools used. The proposed approaches contribute to ensuring the sustainability of the results obtained and the rational usage of resources in the course of the ongoing changes.

Identification of the most significant types of risks that limit the possibilities of sustainable development of territories. Conclusions: the analysis of the literature sources revealed the advantages and disadvantages of methodological approaches to assessing the risks of sustainable development of regions. Structuring and quantitative assessment of the risks of sustainable development of the territories of Belarus allowed us to solve two main tasks: to identify the most problematic areas of development of the regions and rank them based on the identified factors. A register of risks of sustainable spatial development has been compiled, which allows specifying the directions of their prevention in the context of the studied territories.
