The article deals with the issues of assessing the level of a construction company financial security. It is determined that the specificity of the construction enterprises activity and their diverse ...financial relations system require the formation of an appropriate system for certain financial interests protection against existing and potential internal and external threats, that is reflected in the approaches to the definition of “enterprise financial security”. The system of an enterprise financial security is proposed and the existing methodical approaches to assessing the level of enterprise financial security are generalized. The methodical approach to assessing the level of construction company financial security on the example of JSC “Trust Zhytlobud-1” is developed, which allows to distinguish factors-indicators that influence that level, to rank them and to calculate the integral indicator of financial security, which determines its level. As a result of the assessment it was determined that Economic crisis in Ukraine 2013—2014 caused a fall in the level of JSC “Trust Zhytlobud-1” financial security, but the successful financial policy of the company management led to a substantial increase in the financial security level. The application of the proposed methodological approach to assessing the level of a construction company financial security will enable the enterprises management to respond in a timely manner to the deterioration of the economic entity financial condition as well as the negative trends that may develop in the course of the business entity’s activity.
The article is aimed at analyzing the theoretical and methodological provisions of the theories and concepts of transnationalization, determining their differences, characteristics, and conditions of ...formation. The processes of transnationalization have been studied in terms of leading economic theories. The relationship between the categories of «globalization», «internationalization» and «transnationalization» has been analyzed. According to results of the carried out study, the article defines that transnational corporations have emerged as a result of globalization. It has been found that the transnationalization process is acquiring new essential features that impact not only the world economy but also the economy of the corporation’s home country. Based on the analysis of leading economic theories and conceptions of transnationalization, it is suggested that they be systematized into four theoretical-methodological approaches: evolutionary, structural-functional, strategic-multifocal, institutional.
The article develops a methodological approach to the assessment of socio-economic development of the Chuvash Republic, which allows to consider the factors with heterogeneous metrics. The scientific ...novelty of the study lies in the combination of methods used and the sequence of stages implemented: (1) index analysis of thirty-two indicators divided into seven macro-regional blocks (income, labor, business, ecology, social, prospects, finance); (2) development of formulas for each of them and calculation of integral indicators characterizing their dynamics; (3) development of a formula to determine the rate of socio-economic development; (4) one hundred graphs for forecasting socio-economic development were constructed; (5) thirty-one legal and regulatory acts were analyzed and the dependence by year between the indicator of the rate of socio-economic development developed by the authors and the number of legal and regulatory acts implemented in the country and the region was revealed; (6) a refined classification of the rate of socio-economic development was proposed. Having determined the current situation (2020 is a state close to sustainable—the rate of 99.5%, respectively), and based on the calculated forecast values of the rate of socio-economic development of the Chuvash Republic, it is possible to influence this process depending on the objectives for the medium term, taking the necessary regulatory legal acts, aimed at financing specific macroeconomic blocks. This methodical approach is a universal calculation tool and has great potential for further research. It can be used to assess not only the impact of certain indicators on socio-economic development, it is also applicable to other sectors and spheres of activity.
Within CONNECTING Nature, we are dealing with developing innovative nature-based solutions (NBS) for climate change adaptation, health and well-being, social cohesion and sustainable economic ...development in European cities. In order to enable “learning by comparing” and “generating new knowledge” from multiple NBS related studies, a novel data and knowledge base is needed which requires a specified methodological approach for its development. This paper provides conceptual and methodological context and techniques for constructing such a data and knowledge base that will systematically support the process of NBS monitoring and assessment:•A methodology presents the comprehensive, multi-step approach to the NBS data and knowledge development that helps to guide work and influence the quality of an information included.•The paper describes the methodology and main steps/phases for developing a large data and knowledge base of NBS that will allow further systematic review.•The suggested methodology explains how to build NBS related databases from the conceptualization and requirements phases through to implementation and maintenance. In this regard, such a methodology is iterative, with extensive NBS stakeholders’ and end-user's involvement that are packaged with reusable templates or deliverables offering a good opportunity for success when used by practitioners and other end-users.•The NBS data and knowledge base gathers information about different NBS models and generations into one easy-to-find, easy-to-use place and provides detailed descriptions of each of the 1490 NBS cases from urban centers in Europe.•The data and knowledge base thus helps users identify the best and most appropriated NBS model/type for addressing the particular goals and, at the same time, considers the local context and potential.•The data obtained can be used for the further meta-analysis by applying statistics or searching for specific sample cases and thus enables to generate and expand the knowledge from multiple NBS related studies, in both qualitative and quantitative ways.
