Different approaches to defining the essence of the technological leadership have been considered, the stages of its development, theoretical concepts of different scientific schools regarding the impact of the factor of technological development on the overall economic process of national economies have been analyzed. Characteristics of technological modes have been summarized and their influence on the formation of the technological leadership of the world countries has been revealed. The main approaches to identifying the technological leadership of various countries on the basis of calculation of international indices have been considered. The prospect for further research of the problem is a comprehensive study of determinants that reflect the technological leadership and give a general assessment of qualitative characteristics of the formation of its components.

Prospects for Strengthening the Security of Ukraine’s Energy Supply through Development of Unconventional Natural Gas Production (p. 34 - 43)

The article presents an analysis of the American experience in development of natural shale gas in the US, identifies the causes that led to the shale revolution. Its current state is characterized by achieving the peak production simultaneously with shift in the emphasis from natural shale gas to shale oil. The potential technically extracted gas reserves as well as trends in terms of the growth of conventional natural gas reserves and the development of trade in liquefied natural gas are regarded as global preconditions for enlargement of the shale natural gas output. Natural shale gas can be considered as an alternative project only for liquefied natural gas while, compared to pipeline gas, its production is uncompetitive. The national preconditions for development of the industry of nonconventional natural gas production are determined on the basis of the current trends in Ukraine’s gas market. The main obstacles to the realization of this direction are reduction of the gas needs and liberalization of natural gas trade on the basis of European principles. Economic evaluation of the feasibility of natural shale gas production made it possible to forecast its production cost at the wellhead at different depths and estimate its investment attractiveness in different aggregate states. On the basis of the approbation of the presented methodological approach carried out for the Dnieper-Donets and Carpathian shale basins, it was concluded that the investment attractiveness of the first one is higher, given its reservoir properties and the presence of deposits of non-conventional hydrocarbons in different states of aggregation.
Keywords: natural shale gas, potential reserves, production cost, investment attractiveness, security of energy supply

The Organizational and Functional Basis of Economic Development of Society and Peculiarities of its Potential Dynamics under Conditions of Decentralization of Power (p. 50 - 57)

The article analyzes the listing of institutions and activities generated by these institutions, which as a whole are intended to stimulate the economic development of society under conditions of decentralization of power. The division of the institutions into government / quasigovernment, educational / scientific and business ones has been conducted. Quantitative and structural relations of organizational measures aimed at local economic development in view of these institutions have been analyzed. It was found that most of the organizational measures contributing to economic development of society can be taken by government / quasigovernment and business institutions, which amount to 85 % and 80 % respectively from the whole defined list of the institutions. Scientific and educational organizations have only 35 % in this structural distribution. That is, for today the functional content of the measures, which contribute to the local economic development, is more important for educational and scientific organizations since in this regard they are by 2-2.5 times behind the government and business institutions. This study also evaluates the level of coordination of the organization measures aimed at the local economic development in view of the institutions. In this case the most intensive measure will be creating municipal clusters, which can unite over 75 % of local institutions (13 institutions of 20 determined by the study). Collaboration with scientific, educational and finance and credit establishments is also characterized by a quite significant level of coordination — 50 %. Measures related to intensification of the business activity (business councils, fundraising, dissemination of best practices, etc.) in view of their using by the considered institutions amount to about 30 %. The inter-municipal cooperation, organization of public hearings, e-governance and development of credit relations in society have the lowest level of coordination (about 6 %), which corresponds to 1 institution.
Keywords: institution and organization instruments, economic development of society, decentralization, institution, organizational measures

The New Methodology for Analyzing the Regulatory Impact of a Legal Act: Pros and Cons (p. 58 - 66)

Advantages and problems of the existing methodologies for analyzing the impact and monitoring of the effectiveness of a regulatory act (RIA) have been evaluated. The urgency of developing a methodological approach for evaluating the quality of the implementation of projects of normative legal acts by RIA regulatory authorities has been justified. There have been analyzed RIAs of the projects of normative legal acts developed by the regulatory authorities in March and April 2016 for their compliance with the new methodology. An algorithm of applying the methodological approach has been formed. The integral index has been proved and coefficients of the completeness of qualitative and quantitative evaluations have been determined. To carry out the assessment, the state and local regulatory authorities were selected. The conclusions as to the completeness and quality of the analyzed RIAs, as well as their compliance with the provisions of the new methodology have been made. Proposals to improve existing techniques have been developed.
Keywords: methodical support, regulatory policy, regulatory impact analysis, normative legal act, regulatory authorities

Implementation of the Decentralization Reform in Ukraine: Current Issues of Public Administration Modernization (p. 67 - 73)

The need of all parts of the modern Ukrainian society for structural transformations determines the direction of development of the country and its territories. One of such priority vectors is the decentralization reform, efficiency of which is inextricably linked with the changes that occur in all vital for the development of society and every individual public areas: public administration, judicial system, law enforcement bodies, deregulation and development of business, banking and financial sectors, innovation and trade policies, education, medicine and other sectors of the economy and social sphere. The initiated in Ukraine transformations, including the decentralization of public power, require further legislative changes and desire of all public institutions to ensure their effective implementation through public initiative and public support. Monitoring the course of the decentralization reform in Ukraine has demonstrated little actual results of its implementation. Today an adequate legislation framework concerning the powers, resources and responsibilities has not been established yet. It is advisable to carry out a profound theoretical and practical study of the world and Ukrainian experience, develop and introduce an own science-based system of power decentralization with consideration for historical, ideological, cultural, social, economic, geographical and other features of the country, while taking into account the best practices, which can be effectively used.

The Branding of Kharkov City as a Tourist Destination (p. 74 - 79)

On the basis of analyzing publications and documents of the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the authors clarified the concept of “tourist destination”; considered and clarified the concept of “brand of the tourist destination”; suggested the mechanism for development of the brand of the tourist destination. The existing brand of Kharkiv — “Kharkiv — smart city” — has been analyzed and it was concluded that this brand is promising and successful for educational tourism, for attracting foreign students and scholars — connoisseurs of new technologies and science fiction. The direction of further work on the brand of Kharkiv city as a tourist destination is to enhance the already existing brand “Kharkiv — smart city” by introducing a set of marketing communications, aggressive advertising campaign in Ukrainian and international media and travel exhibitions. Besides, it is considered to be promising to design brands intended for other target segments of consumers — “Kharkiv – historic city”, “Kharkiv — sport city”, etc., which will lead to a synergistic effect in the tourism industry of Kharkiv. Prospects for further research in this direction are studying new strategic directions of development of Kharkiv city as a tourist destination.

The Analysis of Theoretical Approaches to Identification of Factors of Regional Economic Growth (p. 80 - 89)

The article is devoted to the investigation of current approaches to identification of factors of economic growth in the regions. The theory of new economic geography based on works and studies of P. Krugman has been considered. There highlighted the key issues of regional economic growth requiring an in-depth studying and consideration in the elaboration of strategies for sustainable development of the regions. The views of leading domestic and foreign scholars as well as the OECD experts, the World Bank, the National Statistics Service of the United Kingdom and others on the main drivers of economic growth have been analyzed. On the basis of the study the factors of regional economic growth most commonly encountered in theory and practice have been generalized. It is proved that scientists and analysts most often classify as the factors of regional economic growth the following ones: those characterizing human potential, scientific-technical and innovative activity, management and institutional capacity. The factors less frequently correlated by specialists and scientists with the regional economic growth include: those characterizing the environment, business and socio-political factors, which is associated with difficulty of their quantification, but in any case does not diminish their importance.

The Conceptual Framework of Innovation Development in the Enterprise Management System (p. 90 - 101)

The aim of the article is to define the main conceptual framework of innovation development in the enterprise management system on the basis of the systemic approach. The current state of the innovation activity of industrial enterprises and results of introducing innovations in Ukraine have been analyzed, which revealed the absence of an effective system of innovation activity at enterprises. This results from insufficient financial resources, lack of motivation for the enterprise to introduce innovations, unpreparedness of resource provision of innovation process, unformed specific competences for the innovation activity. Besides, the vague state policy on innovation development, lack of efficient mechanisms for its stimulation and provision hinder the practical implementation of the innovation development system at enterprises. The author’s study of modern concepts of innovation development allowed to specify the author’s concept of innovation development in the system of enterprise management. It is proved that management of the enterprise innovation activity is a separate type of management activity and requires an appropriate support. The innovation system including functional, process and executive units is presented as a dynamic model of the enterprise innovation activity. The proposed conceptual approaches give a generalized idea about the place of innovation development in the system of enterprise management.
Keywords: innovation development, innovation activity, enterprise innovation system, enterprise management system

The Uncompromising Nature of a Stable State of the Enterprise: Reality or Utopia? (p. 110 - 116)

There has been foregrounded the problematics of a probability of the enterprise existence in binary states: stable — instable. It is emphasized that most of scientists insist on the uncompromising nature of the stable state. The examples of the functioning of world companies, which give grounds to speak about its discrete nature, are presented. It is shown that the dynamic nature of stability is revealed through the prism of the adaptive and equilibrum approach and evolutionary and progressive one. On the basis of the critical analysis of their content there determined the hopelessness of prospects for using the first approach due to the impossibility of maintaining the equilibrium state of the enterprise during an extended period of time. The key postulates of the synergy theory are transformed to be used in the course of economic reasoning. It is noted that the dialectical unity of the multidirectional processes of destruction and creation determines the simultaneous existence of signs of stability and instability at the enterprise, which generates the weakening of the current and formation of new potential opportunities. Consequently, the excessive “dramatization” of the instable state excludes an adequate response of the management and diverts attention from the key issue — the length of staying in it. It is proved that the achievement of the highest possible synthetic unity of all the parameters of the stable state is mainly of the hypothetical nature and the permanent vital activity of the enterprise is possible only through its qualitative changes, the processes of generation of which periodically change stable periods of the enterprise existence.
Keywords: enterprise economic stability, stable state, instable state, equilibrium, development, vital activity, synergetics

Instruments of Socio-Economic Development of Enterprise Educational Services under Conditions of an Increased Risk in the System of Ensuring a High Quality of Life (p. 117 - 122)

There have been improved principles of the information technology based on synthesis and analysis of the conceptual model of program-project-targeted approach with regard to quality indicators of education and life, instruments of development of educational services at enterprises under conditions of an increased risk in the system of ensuring a high quality of life as well as the information balance kept by consumers in the process of receiving educational services. A measure of sensitivity of semantic information for improving the quality of educational services taking into account the probability of achieving an appropriate level of specialized knowledge to become a professional after receipt of educational information has been introduced. The information technology is based on: the econometric model to improve the ranking of the educational establishment and quality of the semantic information of educational services received by the consumer (the enterprise employee) at the given education establishment taking into account the factors of efficiency, risk and utility; multi-criteria optimization of semantic information with the purpose of increasing the quality of educational services, in particular of such its aspects as internal structuring, stimulation, coordination of interests, consistent project management.

Diagnosis of Transport Activity as a Component of the Enterprise Logistical System (p. 123 - 128)

The article reveals the essence of the concept of “diagnosis of the enterprise transport activity”, by which there should be meant a process of evaluating the state of movement (transportation, carrying) of freight (material resources, work in process or finished products) by one type of transport facilities or their combination in accordance with the applied transport system and trends of its changes as well as determining the future prospects on the basis of sound management decisions in order to ensure a successful operation and development of the enterprise in the competitive environment. It has been found that the key business-indicators of the diagnosis system of transport activity as a component of the enterprise logistical system are: the coefficient of timeliness of freight transportation (delivery); coefficient of completeness of transportation; coefficient of freight safety conditions; coefficient of efficiency of freight transportation; coefficient of complexity of servicing freight owners; coefficient of satisfaction of freight owners’ demand, coefficient of readiness to operation of transport facilities per working day; coefficient of using vehicle kilometers travelled; coefficient of extensity of transport facility packing.
Keywords: enterprise, transport activity, logistical system, diagnosis, business-indicators

The Role of Outsourcing and Engineering in Increasing Competitiveness of Processing Enterprises (p. 129 - 135)

The aim of the article is to substantiate the directions of implementing the functions of control over the processing enterprise competitiveness with using engineering and outsourcing as a new approach to increasing the performance of enterprises operating under conditions of uncertainty and instability of the environment. The study determined that to increase the competitiveness of processing enterprises, their development should occur in two directions: engineering — inside the enterprise and outsourcing — outside it. This allows creating a unified corporate business culture. It is proposed to consider management of processing enterprise competitiveness as engineering problems of regulation of the competitive advantage level. Prospects for further research in this area are the integrated use of tasks of engineering and outsourcing as effective ways to improve the efficiency of processing enterprises, which will lead to the changing of the strategies direction: from costs reduction to creation of value in business operations.
Keywords: management, competitiveness, processing enterprises, engineering, outsourcing, development trends

The Role of Personnel Competencies in the Enterprise Innovative Activity (p. 136 - 140)

The author’s approach to understanding the impact of personnel competencies on the development of the enterprise innovative activity has been described. It has been justified that the controlling and controlled subsystems of human capital should cross pollinate knowledge thereby increasing the basis for the development of innovative activity. It has been proved that the most important part of the total capital of the enterprise is human capital: it is not only an element of intellectual capital but also a factor in the formation of its two other constituents (relationship capital and structural capital); it is the basis for the formation of the structure and volume of physical capital. A particular attention is paid to the need to identify at hiring employees not only their competencies (acquired during life and is characterizing exclusively professional attributes of the employee) but also such elements of human capital as skills, inclinations, health, intellectual efficiency, etc. — making up a whole psychographic portrait of the person and being extremely important for the development of the enterprise innovative activity.

Real Capital: Complementarity and Structural Characteristics (p. 141 - 147)

Two opposite approaches to the concept of real capital are considered. The presupposition for studying capital within the neoclassical school, which can be characterized as “empirical realism”, is the homogeneity of capital. This allows to apply formal methods of studying and modeling industrial processes but excludes from consideration the properties and characteristics of capital as a real factor of production. The approach of the Austrian school corresponding to traditions of “critical realism” in the economy focuses on real properties of capital and its role in the process of public production. The aim of this study is to clarify the idea of real capital, its properties, structural characteristics and mechanisms of formation. According to this, the characteristic of two different approaches is given. It is shown that the heterogeneity of capital is the basis of complementarity of capital goods and their combinations in each particular case of their application. The same capital goods have different performance depending on the method of their combination as a result of the production plans of entrepreneurs. Emergent properties of capital are also the result of the combination. Differences in the use and combination of capital determine its overall structure, subsystems of which are natural objects at different levels included in the production, capital goods themselves and their various combinations, social capital. Each of these subsystems is relatively independent and forms a higher level subsystem.
Keywords: real capital, capital goods, Austrian school, complementarity, emergence, capital structure

The State Financial Control in Ukraine: Directions of Improvement of its Organization and Evaluation (p. 148 - 160)

The aim of the article is to examine the essence of the state financial control, identify directions of its improvement and define effective methods for its evaluation. On the basis of the results of analysis of modern scientific works it is determined that the precondition for building an effective state financial control system is defining its role in public financial relationships. According to the data of the conducted study it was concluded that first of all, the state financial control is an instrument of fiscal policy and, therefore, its direct purpose is ensuring a sustainable socio-economic development of the country, i.e., achieving the goal of the fiscal policy. Besides, there revealed the need to harmonize the components of the fiscal policy and types of the state financial control in order to build an effective institutional structure of public administration. It is proved that the division of the state financial control into internal and external must be conducted in accordance with the fact whether the controlling body and the subject under control belong to the same or different branch of power. Also the results of the study suggest that for Ukraine it is expedient to choose the model of a decentralized internal state financial control instead of the existing mixed one in order to avoid duplication by the State Audit Service of Ukraine bodies of partially the functions of the Audit Chamber, and partially those of internal control departments, which operate in the executive branch. There determined inappropriateness of building a system of state internal financial control on the basis of the principles provided for the bodies of the external state financial control. This situation leads to ungrounded definition of the internal control as an object of internal audit, which is carried out by structural units in budget organizations. It is also important to emphasize the need to evaluate managerial decisions in exercising the audit of the control effectiveness in order to increase the responsibility of officials. Prospects for further research are to improve the methodology for evaluating the state financial control in general to identify those of its components that have a negative impact on its entire system.

The aim of the article is to give a definition of “modernization of the aggregate financial potential of the country”, substantiate the directions and ways of the state policy on modernization of the aggregate financial potential of Ukraine. On the basis of the analysis, systematization and generalization of approaches to different kinds and types of modernization in the financial and economic sphere and its application to the constituents of the aggregate financial capacity of the country, it has been determined that the essence of the modernization of the country’s aggregate financial potential is in its renewal due to the disclosure of its structure, functions and mechanisms of implementation aimed at ensuring stable development of the national economy. According to the study results there have been proposed government measures to modernize the aggregate financial potential of Ukraine, including a complex system for stabilization of the national economy. The modernization paradigm implies an interconnected role of the system constituents that form the resource environment for ensuring the functioning of the national financial and economic sphere. Directions and ways of the state policy on modernization of the aggregate financial potential of Ukraine have a complex character both as a means of combating the existing financial and economic imbalances and from the standpoint of the requirements and expectations of society and of each economic entity. Prospects for further research in this direction are measures of the state policy on the expanded reproduction of the aggregate financial potential of Ukraine.
Keywords: aggregate financial potential of the country, modernization, state policy

On the World and Regional Currencies (p. 167 - 172)

The problem of pegging currencies of developing countries to the US dollar is that its dynamics determines the economic instability of most of such countries and the world economy as a whole. In this regard there is a need to find alternative variants of the global monetary anchor to ensure the global financial stability. It is proposed to choose an anchor based on the basket of floating national currencies, which will be balanced by counter fluctuations of the basket currencies and be stable with respect to the national currency, as one of the variants. Such basket anchor can potentially perform the function of money and be used as the world and regional currency. The article presents the example of calculating the quotation of national currencies against the baskets based on the data on G-20 and EAEU countries.
Keywords: currency, dollar, basket, anchor

Social Responsibility of Employers as a Basis for Preservation of Health of the Working Population (p. 173 - 178)

The article proves the need for participation of enterprises in the preservation of health of employees. There revealed causes of the increasing role of employers’ social responsibility in health protection of employees, in particular: peculiarities of the state property privatization in Ukraine; a new concept of protection of public health; employers’ interest in healthy workforce; the healthcare policy in Ukraine with respect to the lack of resources. There formulated the author’s definition of the essence of employers’ social responsibility for preservation of health of employees: social responsibility of employers for the preservation of health of employees is the willingness and ability of the organization to create a system of legal, socio-economic, organizational and technical, sanitary and hygienic, medical and prophylactic measures and means aimed at preservation of life, health and man’s performance capability during the labor activity. The forms of employers’ participation in health promotion have been determined. One of such forms, in the author’s opinion, can be a health service at the workplace. There has been made a conclusion about the need for the institutionalization of social responsibility of employers, i.e., the creation of conditions under which employers would follow certain social standards established both at the national and international level. Preconditions and future directions of the development of employers’ social responsibility in Ukraine have been determined.
Keywords: social responsibility of employers, health of the working population, health service at the workplace

The Catastrophe Theory as a Conceptual and Methodological Basis for Assessing the Stability of Socio-Economic Systems (p. 184 - 193)

There has been proposed a conceptual approach to studying the instability of main indicators of socio-economic development of Ukraine’s economy aimed at solving problems of assessment, analysis and forecasting the state of territorial systems and providing for the implementation of three major steps: assessment of the dynamics of socio-economic indicators of territorial development and the extent of their relationship, building catastrophe models of dynamics of socio-economic indicators of territorial development, analysis of instability of socio-economic systems. A study of the development dynamics of Ukraine’s economy in terms of the most significant macroeconomic indicators characterizing the state of industrial production, construction, employment, and demographic processes have been carried out. There revealed the instability and non-linearity of their relationship, occurrence of bifurcations and a high probability of catastrophes in the following research areas: dependence of the GDP on the volume of construction works, which makes it possible to determine the presence of the construction crisis in the economy; dependence of the GDP on the level of migration and natural increase in the population of Ukraine, which presents objective information about the demographic crisis in the country. The analytical results obtained can serve a basis for of the concept of regional policy transformation, implementation of investment and strategic programs aimed at stimulating investment of progressive structural changes in the regional and territorial perspective and crisis management.

Cyclicality of Economic Development of Ukraine in the Context of its Political and Legal Transformations (p. 194 - 199)

The cyclicality in the development of the Ukrainian economy during the years of its independence under conditions of its political and legal transformations has been studied. On the basis of the analysis of worldwide research the problem of influence of political transformations on the socio-economic development of the state has been identified. There has been developed a methodological approach to studying the evolutionary development of the Ukrainian economy in the context of its European integration, which comprises three main blocks: Block 1 — studying the development of the legal field of Ukraine; Block 2 — studying the policy of development of Ukraine and orientation of its economic system; Block 3 — analyzing the evolutionary development of the Ukrainian economy and determining its cyclical nature. Within the developed approach there were used wavelet models, spectral analysis — Fourier expansion and Johanson test. The paper puts forward three hypotheses: hypothesis 1 — about the existence of short-term 5-year cycles of evolutionary development of the economy; hypothesis 2 — about the existence of a long-term cycle lasing 25 years and conditioned by political and legal processes in the society; hypothesis 3 — about the existence of cointegration relationships between the evolutionary development of the economy of Ukraine and the EU. On the basis of the modern political transformations the phases of development of the Ukrainian legal environment have been defined and comparison of these phases with the specifics of its economic development has been carried out. The analysis of the economic system of Ukraine and its policy made it possible to determine the vector of development of the Ukrainian economy. The approximating (trend) and detailing (cyclic) components of the economic development of Ukraine were determined with the help of wavelet expansion. Using Fourier analysis for the detailing components allowed to distinguish 5-year cycles in the Ukrainian economy, which proved the first hypothesis.
Keywords: cyclicality, political and legal transformations, evolutionary development, wavelet analysis, spectral analysis
