Various approaches to the definition of the concepts of “competition” and “competitiveness” of the enterprise (corporation) are considered and analyzed. Author's definitions of studied categories are offered
The article considers the issues of the economic security and competitiveness of the region as an important component of the economic security of Russia. It is proved that the essence of economic security of the region as an economic category is revealed through a system of interconnected elements, such as regional interests, identify the threats of economic safety in the region, the assessment of threats by various criteria and indicators that define their threshold values and their comparison with actual performance. Moreover, it is necessary to determine the so-called "corridor", denoting a safe zone, the formation of economic policy in the region and to develop effective mechanisms to prevent these threats, targeted organized protection of the economic security of the region. We give a justification according to the economic security of the region on the ability of regional authorities to establish effective mechanisms to ensure the competitiveness of the regional economy, socio-economic stability and sustainable development of the territory as relatively independent structures, organically integrated into the economy of the Russian Federation. The competitiveness of the region is considered only as a factor of economic security of the region and the country as a whole and, as an economic category, may itself be considered as a system and as part of a system of economic security of the region. The article proves that the competitiveness of the region should be considered as a system consisting of such elements as competitive potential of the region, the factors and conditions shaping the competitive environment, resource use efficiency, competitive advantage, competitive strategy business entities state and market mechanisms to manage the economic potential of the region to better meet human needs. The analysis of the factors ensuring the competitiveness and investment attractiveness of the region on the world market and the problems of its socio-economic development was made; great attention was paid to the analysis of the socio - economic potential of the Krasnodar region, the strengthening of its economic security
This article is dedicated to the modern problems of economic security of organizations. The subject of research is economic security of a company that is actually a question of the economic science and practice in the changing realities of the activities. The author researches questions of determination of economic security of enterprises by modern Russian scientists which are reduced to three different treatments of the nature of this economic category. The first approach defines economic security based on the availability of threats. The second approach is expressed through the provision of economic security as a condition. The third approach is a symbiosis of the first two. Factors classifications are provided coming from different factorial signs which can be based on the analysis of their display area, effects and as resources of the enterprise. Classification on the basis of the resource approach seems original that allows identifying areas of risk exposure and elements of the economic security of the enterprise. The authors have noted that resources can be personnel, technology, organizational structure, innovation, management, property company; finance companies, etc. All the factors can be divided into qualitative and quantitative which influence to economic security enterprises alike. The potential of resource approach is not disclosed and this is actually a problem of modern economic science
Instability of economic processes and exacerbation of
political tensions regarding Russia require measures in
foreign trade policy, which are able to increase the
economic security of Russia. The import substitution
policy is considered one of the main directions nowadays.
There have been considered two directions of the
state policy for displacement or substitution of imported
goods in the domestic market. There has been also
reported the structure of the country's merchandise
imports during the period from 2013 until 2015, resulting
in a detected negative dynamics of imports, which
indicates a successful beginning of the importsubstitution
policy. Gradation of the main economic
activities according to dependence on imports has allowed
identifying the most import-dependent activities
and the most available ways to form the import substitution.
Threshold amount of economic security of the
country has been considered to characterize the external
economic security of Russia and some other countries
of the world. There has been identified the necessity
of state aid, which is reflected in the program of
support for transport engineering industry for 2016,
subsidies from the federal budget to participants of
industrial clusters, the elimination of discriminatory
relationships between credit financial institutions and
industrial enterprises, the provision of state guarantees
for loans to strategic enterprises and organizations of
the country
Nigeria has the largest oil sands and bitumen resources
in Africa and is one of the main leading countries in the
world from the point of view of its significant potential
heavy oil deposits. Research of geological and physicochemical
properties confirmed that the Nigerian bitumen
is an important energy source and an alternative source
of hydrocarbon feedstock for the petrochemical industry.
Nigeria imports black oil for the petrochemical industry
and its heavy oil can act in place of this black oil. In
addition, researchers have successfully established the
possibility of producing electrical energy from this
heavy oil. Tar sands and bitumen are able to help
improve the economy of Nigeria
The article provides an analysis and assessment of the economic sustainability of agricultural organizations of the Krasnodar region
The article provides the analysis of the most relevant causes for premature weeding of the experimental training farm “Kuban” (KSAU) cows’ basic herd and other farms of the Krasnodar region
In the Krasnodar region there is a unique gene pool of animals both for dairy and meat. To assess the heifers the authors formed five experimental groups of animals, the most common species in the region. The authors studied the main economic, biological and exterior features: live weight, measurements, assessment of the exterior. The studies found that among intensive species with the largest body weight throughout the growing period, in 8-month old Charolais heifers superior Simmental ones at 17.4 kg. In one year old Simmental heifers were 9.2 kg (R˂0,05) ahead of Charolais and in 15 months – 10 kg (R˂0,05). Over the entire period of growth the highest rates of relative growth rates of heifers were obtained by red steppe breed type named Kuban, which had an advantage over the Aberdeen-Angus – 19.1%, Charolais – 5.6%, Hereford – 6.2%, and the difference between them and Simmental weren’t fixed. When growing, the animals become less tall, more stretched, wide and massive. We have noted that during the period of cultivation we had increased indices: stretch (9% – Red Steppe, 13.8% – Charolais, 16.1% – Hereford); chest (5.4% Aberdeen Angus). This reduces the index of long legs of red steppe – 5.6%, 10.9% for Charolais. The study of linear growth of animals confirms that the animal meat breeds of live weight increase was due to the extension of the body and increase the width of the pelvis and chest. Some different facts were observed in heifers of Red Steppe breed. For them, the most characteristic increase in the width of the chest was 1.44 times, as well as increasing the depth of the chest and chest girth behind the shoulders

The mathematical models, describing processes of transformation in blocks of technological chain are received, and models for an estimation of its economic efficiency are developed
When considering the ecological safety of industrial productions, territory, etc., we usually allocate the constant (permanent) risk and the accident (emergency) risk. Permanent risk is given by the used technology, and cannot be changed substantially. Emergency risks are associated with uncertainty, in contrast to the constant risks. Let in adopted mathematical model the uncertainty is probabilistic in nature, and the loss describes as one-dimensional random variable. The distribution function of the loss, as a rule, is not normal. We have discussed in detail the seven characteristics of accidental loss: expectation; median and, more generally, quantile; dispersion; standard deviation; coefficient of variation; a linear combination of the expectation and standard deviation; the expectation of the loss function. Risk management may be to minimize these characteristics and their combinations (in different variants of multicriteria optimization). For example, in the two-criteria formulation it is required to minimize the expectation of loss and the standard deviation. Two-criteria formulation one way or another is reduced to a one-criteria formulation. In addition to probabilistic methods of risk modeling, sometimes we consider methods for describing risk using by means of objects of non-numeric nature, in particular qualitative characteristics, concepts of the theory of fuzzy sets, interval mathematical and econometric models and other mathematical tools. The main problems of the theory and practice of ecological insurance have been discussed
