Leadership of the Ministry of Defense in 2013 almost fully completed the process of catering service for the Army transition to outsourcing. Thus a function of food supply has been almost entirely transferred to commercial organizations. In view of the aggravation of geopolitical situation around Russia's borders army must be ready for combat operations in local wars, military conflicts and peacekeeping operations, which at any moment can be provoked by enemies in conflicts in dangerous areas. Accordingly to the full and timely food supply in the military units and institutions in special operations the food service of the Russian army should be prepared as well. In this article we have reasoned and substantiated proposals for reforming the existing system of food supply of the Russian army with the objective of increasing the capabilities of the system under the action of the Russian troops in the conditions of local wars, armed conflicts and in peacekeeping operations. Their practical implementation will allow a significant restructuring of the modern system of food supply of the Russian army to eliminate the dependence of the action or inaction of the outsourcing companies operating on the market of food supply troops in special operations, as well as during major trainings

In modern conditions the sphere of housing and communal services has every reason to become a breakthrough towards sustainable development of the national economy based on innovation. However, most of the fixed assets of institutional agents of this sector in dire need of immediate conduct of a comprehensive modernization. This fact determines the relevance of subjects of this article. The main object of management in the sphere of housing and communal services is housing. The organization of its operation does not meet modern standards, which negatively affects the quality of utility services provided to the population. We have revealed the most significant factors and determined the degree of their influence on the development of innovative potential of the sphere of housing and communal services and improving the quality of housing and communal services. The article reveals the necessity of introduction of innovative technologies of information metering and payment of utility services to the population. The influence of these technologies to improve the quality of housing and communal services, as well as strengthening the financial condition of the majority of institutional agents engaged in housing operation was found. We identify the most promising areas of the comprehensive modernization of municipal infrastructure of housing and communal services through the introduction of innovative technologies of information metering and payment of utility services which stimulate institutional agents of this sector to improve the quality of housing services produced by them

In the article we have developed a methodology to assess the effectiveness of various types of military and economic activities, the effectiveness of which determines the value of the defense capabilities of the state; we have also revealed the economic substance of defense capabilities and combat readiness of troops, justified approaches to determining the significance of ongoing military-oriented activities, identified main activities of the specific conditions of defense industries which leave their marks on the cost-effectiveness in the production of material resources for the Russian military service. The analysis of the flow direction of monetary environment of estimated units indicates that the current practice of planning and cost accounting is not fully adapted for military-economic analysis of measures to ensure the establishment of the defense capabilities of the state, and this makes it difficult to study and make recommendations to improve the efficiency of the use of military and economic resources. The authors propose a unified system of methodological support planning, estimating the size of consumed resources (regardless of funding source) and attainable defense results. Methodical resolution of this problem is based on the use of program-target approach to modeling the processes of the defense-industrial complex and the structural elements of the military organization. The article substantiates that the evaluation of the effectiveness of the use of defense capabilities should be carried out not only by the criterion of "cost - effect", but with all the manifestations of the time factor. In the most general form of the criterion of effectiveness should be provided by the triad "cost - effect - time." An important result of this study is also in the development of the integral index of evaluating the effectiveness of the use of military and economic

The subject of the research is a complex of high-tech manufacturing companies integrated and functioning in the form of project-oriented companies that are complex dynamic systems with increased efficiency due to changes in its structure and functions, institutional adaptation or use of project management techniques and optimization. The article reveals peculiarities of assessment methods financial performance knowledge-based project-oriented businesses, the main of which is that companies consider their activities as separate independent projects, which have their cost centers and profit. The author's solution to the problem of choosing the optimal investment project among several possible within the framework of the investment program or portfolio of projects, which can be mutually independent of each other, or mutually interdependent. The aim of the work is to study the possibilities and prospects of organizational and economic mechanisms for the use of project campaign for the effective management of knowledge-based enterprises that will quickly adopt new technologies and create optimal production structure. The results will be useful for the public authorities responsible for the development of high-tech industries as well as public and private companies wishing to profitably participate in the implementation of major innovative projects and programs. In the course of the study suggested methods for evaluating the effectiveness of high-tech project-oriented businesses, allowing them to identify the main advantages and disadvantages in meeting their specific production problems

The analysis of social and economic development of countries in the conditions of the globalization of the world economy which is carried out with the use of thermo-dynamical model showed that interaction of the open economic systems standing on different levels of development can lead to absorption or destruction of one systems by others that finally will lead to "thermal death" in economy (stagnation). The closed economic systems can communicate with other countries by means of international trade. Less developed countries can't compete with industrially developed states and will inevitably get under their influence. The isolated economic systems can develop only in the presence of domestic market, resources and rigid social structure. Introduction of the anti-Russian sanctions and other external factors led to restriction of the influence of the foreign capital. Innovative activity in economy and strengthening of government institutions might be observed as a result. The thermo-dynamical model shows that partial isolation of the developing economic system possessing sufficient production and scientific potential leads to stabilization of its structure and growth of the innovative activity

The article based on factual historical data identifies and analyzes the characteristics of modern wars and armed conflicts. It is shown that in different periods the concept of "war" has been interpreted by politicians and military experts on-to a miscellaneous. However, regardless of its determination to warfare took huge human, financial and other resources, and their amounts increased steadily up to the present day. The specificity of modern war is that to achieve aggressive goals do not have to use weapons and military equipment – ensure the defense and national security is possible using non-military warfare, applying, in particular, financial and economic methods of warfare. Thus the subordination of their interests foreign territories, their capture and looting can implement new supranational global patterns that have emerged in the process of Informatization of society on the basis of network principles of world order

Influence of a foreign factor on innovative development of the countries isn't unambiguous, for Russia the foreign capital was rather limiting factor, than incentive to development. The analysis of historical experience of development of domestic science and equipment showed that the maximum innovative activity of economy was noted during the centralized science funding and education. The most important for the invention and opening which found the application in domestic economy, were made times of the state control of processes of development and introduction of new types of production and technologies. As a result of the retrospective analysis, it was revealed that innovative processes in domestic economy in the period of economic sanctions and restrictions especially become more active. In this work, it is shown that the market mechanisms providing free movement of technologies, knowledge, scientists and experts have negative impact on the developing national innovative system. Foreign investments by means of which foreign corporations exercise control over the domestic enterprises have special impact on development and promote capital outflow abroad. It is offered to toughen control of the foreign capital within the current legislation and to promote activation of an exchange of scientific and technical information at the international level

Studying the problems of the development of Russian business education today seems urgent in view of the serious impact of globalization factors on world markets, as well as taking into account the factors of global economic recession and to the undeclared war sanctions restrictions against the Russian economy and not having under itself no justification other than political. The article presents the results of the analysis of positive and negative factors in the development of the Russian business education, because of which it was concluded, that for the further development of the Russian system of business education needs a new approach. It should be based on the formation of the conceptual model, taking into account the current realities in the Russian economy. The authors set out to become the key provisions of the new approach, namely to ensure the growth of professional and specialist competencies required functionality; the study of «effective practical techniques», a reasonable reduction of the duration of the MBA program of study; distribution of specialists trained in powers depending on their positions. The above provisions allowed forming a conceptual model of business education, which is based on four practical degree professional training laid. In addition, the article justified criteria for evaluating the quality and composition requirements for modern business education program. The proposed in the article new approach and the conceptual model of the development of Russian business education are targeted at practitioners who want to gain more knowledge in a limited period and very reasonable cost of education. The further development of the Russian business education system in the very near future will show the validity of this approach

Information of the world and national economies significantly alter the role and importance of expertise in enterprise activity. Expert evaluation of the quality of modern innovative software products is playing an increasingly important role in the justification of management decisions with their use. That is why the expert function is one of the most important and recognized not only in science but also in the practical production and business operations of many businesses. The article shows the possibility of adapting method unit testing as a tool for peer evaluation of the quality level of the development of innovative software products. The article covers application of criteria for coverage decisions and conditions, as well as a criterion of combinatorial coverage for the most complete set of tests and accurate expert assessments. The substantiation of the existence and validity of the use of the method of unit testing capabilities for expert assessments of innovative software products was also given. We have described the sequence of process of peer review for incremental (step by step), and non-incremental approach to testing of modern innovative software products, as well as identifying their strengths and weaknesses. It is concluded that the incremental approach is preferable to use the method of unit testing for the expert assessments of projects and programs for the creation of innovative products, services and technologies

The article examines the characteristics and the efficiency of modern organizational and economic mechanisms of the spread of high-tech technologies and products of double application, identifying the most promising areas of improvement and progressive development, is determined by their role in attracting additional funding for national and international innovative projects and programs
