In 1970 in the journal publications of "Forbes" and
"Business week" the term of "startup" appeared,
which later became popular in the scientific and
business literature. Startups are the organizations,
which create a new product or service under
conditions of high uncertainty. In the last 25-30
years, due to Russia's transition from a planned
economy to the mixed, many researchers and
practitioners in the field of management, economics
and entrepreneurship are concerned of some
questions of small business, including production. It
is particularly acute problem of deaths of Russian
small businesses: only three out of a hundred small
businesses manage to survive for more than 3 years.
In addition, one of the main reasons, why we have
such statistics, is management deficiencies and
administrative errors, which are studied in this
article. We are primarily interested in small
manufacturing plants and problems of development
in the early stages of the life cycle. In the literature,
it has been given just little attention. A small
production company is a company associated with
the production organization or incorporation of the
product / technology in the production process. We
regard the small production companies at an early
stage of development, working in the field of
mechanical engineering, instrumentation, energy,
telecommunications, robotics, materials production.
In this work, we analyze the first foreign and then
domestic research on small business, discuss the
problems of management of small industrial
enterprises in the early stages of the life cycle (based
on the results of our questionnaire studies) and as an
example, consider the story of a startup - All-Union
Center of statistical methods and Informatics of
Central Board of the All-Union economic society
(now - Institute of high statistical technologies and econometrics of Bauman Moscow State Technical
University)
At the Department of "Economics and organization
of production" at the end of XX - beginning of XXI
centuries created the scientific school in the field of
organizational and economic modeling,
econometrics and statistics. The same name section
of the department oversees the teaching of the
relevant disciplines. The Laboratory of economic
and mathematical methods in controlling of the
Research and Education Center "Controlling and
innovation in management" of Bauman Moscow
State Technical University conducts research in this
domain. This article is devoted to the activities of
the scientific school, conducting research, and some
of the results. We start with a discussion of the
definitions of terms, which we use. Organizationaleconomic
modeling - scientific, practical and
academic discipline which devoted to the
development, research and application of
mathematical and statistical methods and models in
economics and management of the national
economy, especially in economics and management
of industrial enterprises and their associations. The
term "economic-mathematical methods and models"
has close content. Statistical methods in economics -
the subject of econometrics, the base of which is
applied statistics. Organizational-economic
modeling and econometrics are discussed as a
theoretical and practical trainings and discipline. We
developed textbooks and manuals on the
organizational and economic modeling,
econometrics and statistics. We have conducted
theoretical research and development of applications
in the field of organizational and economic
modeling. In particular, the prediction is regarded as
one of the management functions in industry. We
study the problem of stability in the models and
methods of development of strategy of the enterprise. For prospective organizational and
economic mechanisms of management of industrial
and economic activities, we proposed design based
on solidary information economy
Applied Statistics - the science of how to analyze
the statistical data. As an independent scientificpractical
area it develops very quickly. It includes
numerous widely and deeply developed scientific
directions. Those who use the applied statistics and
other statistical methods, usually focused on specific
areas of study, ie, are not specialists in applied
statistics. Therefore, it is useful to make a critical
analysis of the current state of applied statistics and
discuss trends in the development of statistical
methods. Most of the practical importance of
applied statistics justifies the usefulness of the work
on the development of its methodology, in which the
field of scientific and applied activities would be
considered as a whole. We have given some brief
information about the history of applied statistics.
Based on Scientometrics of Applied Statistics we
state that each expert has only a small part of
accumulated knowledge in this area. We discuss five
topical areas in which modern applied statistics
develops, ie five "points of growth": nonparametric,
robustness, bootstrap, statistics of interval data, and
statistics of non-numerical data. We discuss some
details of the basic ideas of a non-numerical
statistics. In the last more than 60 years in Russia,
there has been a huge gap between official statistics
and the scientific community of experts on statistical
methods
Fuzzy sets are the special form of objects of nonnumeric
nature. Therefore, in the processing of the
sample, the elements of which are fuzzy sets, a
variety of methods for the analysis of statistical data
of any nature can be used - the calculation of the
average, non-parametric density estimators,
construction of diagnostic rules, etc. We have told
about the development of our work on the theory of
fuzziness (1975 - 2015). In the first of our work on
fuzzy sets (1975), the theory of random sets is
regarded as a generalization of the theory of fuzzy
sets. In non-fiction series "Mathematics.
Cybernetics" (publishing house "Knowledge") in
1980 the first book by a Soviet author fuzzy sets is
published - our brochure "Optimization problems
and fuzzy variables". This book is essentially a
"squeeze" our research of 70-ies, ie, the research on
the theory of stability and in particular on the
statistics of objects of non-numeric nature, with a
bias in the methodology. The book includes the
main results of the fuzzy theory and its note to the
random set theory, as well as new results (first
publication!) of statistics of fuzzy sets. On the basis
of further experience, you can expect that the theory
of fuzzy sets will be more actively applied in
organizational and economic modeling of industry
management processes. We discuss the concept of
the average value of a fuzzy set. We have
considered a number of statements of problems of
testing statistical hypotheses on fuzzy sets. We have
also proposed and justified some algorithms for
restore relationships between fuzzy variables; we
have given the representation of various variants of
fuzzy cluster analysis of data and variables and
described some methods of collection and
description of fuzzy data
One of the "points of growth" of applied statistics is
methods of reducing the dimension of statistical
data. They are increasingly used in the analysis of
data in specific applied research, such as sociology.
We investigate the most promising methods to
reduce the dimensionality. The principal
components are one of the most commonly used
methods to reduce the dimensionality. For visual
analysis of data are often used the projections of
original vectors on the plane of the first two
principal components. Usually the data structure is
clearly visible, highlighted compact clusters of
objects and separately allocated vectors. The
principal components are one method of factor
analysis. The new idea of factor analysis in
comparison with the method of principal
components is that, based on loads, the factors
breaks up into groups. In one group of factors, new
factor is combined with a similar impact on the
elements of the new basis. Then each group is
recommended to leave one representative.
Sometimes, instead of the choice of representative
by calculation, a new factor that is central to the
group in question. Reduced dimension occurs during
the transition to the system factors, which are
representatives of groups. Other factors are
discarded. On the use of distance (proximity
measures, indicators of differences) between
features and extensive class are based methods of
multidimensional scaling. The basic idea of this
class of methods is to present each object as point of
the geometric space (usually of dimension 1, 2, or 3)
whose coordinates are the values of the hidden
(latent) factors which combine to adequately
describe the object. As an example of the
application of probabilistic and statistical modeling
and the results of statistics of non-numeric data, we
justify the consistency of estimators of the dimension of the data in multidimensional scaling,
which are proposed previously by Kruskal from
heuristic considerations. We have considered a
number of consistent estimations of dimension of
models (in regression analysis and in theory of
classification). We also give some information about
the algorithms for reduce the dimensionality in the
automated system-cognitive analysis
On the basis of the objective analysis it must be
noted that in the arsenal of managers, especially
foreign ones, there is practically no fundamentally
new methods and tools of controlling. So says the
executive director of Russian Association of
Controllers prof. S. G. Falco. However, promising
mathematical and instrumental methods of
controlling actively developed in our country. It is
necessary to implement them. For example,
managers should be used techniques which
discussed in the book by Orlov AI, Lutsenko EV,
Loikaw VI "Advanced mathematical and
instrumental methods of controlling" (2015). These
methods are based on the modern development of
mathematics as a whole - on the system interval
fuzzy math (see the same named book by Orlov AI
and Lutsenko EV, 2014). Considered methods are
developed in accordance with the new paradigm of
mathematical methods of research. It includes new
paradigms of applied statistics, mathematical
statistics, mathematical methods of economics,
methods of analysis of statistical and expert data in
management and control. In the XXI century there
were more than 10 books issued, developed in
accordance with the new paradigm of mathematical
methods of research. The systems approach to
solving specific applications often requires going
beyond the economy. Very important are the
procedures for the introduction of innovative
methods and tools. In this article we consider the
above research results in their interconnection
The relationship of Mathematical Statistics (wider -
Mathematical methods of research) and history is
multifaceted. In our opinion, the history of
mathematical statistics is an integral part of this
mathematical discipline. We have given a review of
our works on the history of statistical methods. The
role of mathematical statistics for the history is very
important. In this article, we restrict ourselves to the
questions of chronology. For centuries, the
chronology is considered as a part of applied
mathematics. The main problem is that the whole
"common" concept of the Russian and the World
history as a whole presented in textbooks was faked
by the opponents of Russia after the collapse of the
global Empire (Russian kingdom) in the early 17th
century - 400 years ago. The stories about historical
events are the information weapon. It was used by
the new rulers to suppress the resistance of the
vanquished. A new mathematical and statistical
chronology of general and Russian history, which
was built by a scientific team led by Academician
Fomenko, has been helpful for the discussion about
the current economic and political problems of
relations between Russia and the West in the XXI
century. In our opinion, the new chronology of the
World and Russian history should be one of the
foundations of state-patriotic ideology and deriving
practical solutions. The purpose of this article is to
give the initial idea of the new chronology from this
point of view
We have a number of studies on the problems of the
development of organizational and economic
support for control tasks in the aerospace industry,
primarily in the field of project management
development of rocket and space technology. This
article aims at summing up the preliminary results
of the research cycle. Since the core funding of
space activities in Russia is carried out in
accordance with approved government bodies
targeted programs from the state budget, among the
indicators of financial and economic activities of
enterprises should focus not maximize profits, and
decrease costs. We must estimate of the feasibility
of projects in the field of space activities, primarily
on the scientific and technical feasibility and the
socio-economic needs, and resource provision. What
is important is the analysis of all types of resources -
material, production, human resources, time, and not
just financial. As a basic organizational and
economic theory we suggest the use of solidary
information economy, high-tech management,
controlling, developed on the basis of a new
paradigm of mathematical methods of economics,
especially econometrics, decision theory,
organizational and economic modeling. In project
management to create rocket and space technology
should take into account the risks of their
implementation. In estimation of the feasibility of
such projects there should be an analysis of risk
assessment, as well as the use of modern statistical
and expert methods of forecasting the dynamics of
technical and economic indicators project. As
practice shows, we have to develop new
organizational-economic and economicmathematical
models and methods. It is necessary to
build a knowledge base in the art and to adequately
fill it with modern knowledge based on scientific
data of the Russian index of citing. In connection
with the duration of the projects of development of
rocket and space technology, we note the need to
take account of inflation in the planning and
evaluation of the financial and economic activities
of enterprises, organizations and industry as a whole
In the USSR higher attestation Commission from
1975 to the collapse of the USSR was subordinated
not to the Ministry of education and science, but to
the Council of Ministers of the USSR directly.
However, since then there is a steady trend of gradual
reduction of the status of the Commission. Today
it is not just included in the Ministry of education,
it is just one of the units of one of its structures:
the Rosobrnadzor. Reduced status of the HAC inevitably
leads to a decline in the status and in the adequacy
of scientific degrees assigned as well as scientific
ranks. This process of devaluation of traditional
academic degrees and titles assigned to the HAC,
has reached the point when a few years ago there
were abolished salary increments for them. Now,
instead of that, every university and research institutes
have developed their local, i.e. non-comparable
with each other scientometric methods of evaluation
of the results of scientific and teaching activities.
Despite the diversity of these techniques, there is a
common thing among all of them, which is the disproportionate
role of the h-index. The value of the
Hirsch index starts to play an important role in the
protection, when considering competitive cases for
positions, as well as in determining the monthly
rewards for the results of scientific and teaching
activities. By itself, this index is well founded, theoretically.
However, in connection with the practice
of its application in our conditions, in the collective
consciousness of the scientific community there was
a kind of mania, which the authors call the "Hirschmania".
This mania is characterized by elevated
unhealthy interest to the value of the Hirsch index,
as well as incorrect manipulation of its value, i.e.
inadequate artificial exaggeration of this value, as
well as a number of negative consequences of that
interest. In this study we have made an attempt to construct a quantitative measure for assessing the
extent of improper manipulation of the value of the
Hirsch index, and offered a science-based modification
of the h-index, insensitive (resistant) to the manipulation.
The article presents a technique for all
the numerical calculations, which is simple enough
for any author to use
We have considered the formation of the Russian
scientific school in the field of econometrics,
obtained its obtained scientific results, the
possibilities of their use in solving problems of the
economy, the organization of production and
controlling of industrial companies and
organizations, as well as in teaching. As
econometrics we consider a scientific and an
academic discipline devoted to the development and
application of statistical methods to study economic
phenomena and processes, in short, statistical
methods in economics. Therefore, we can say that a
lot of domestic books and articles, in particular, the
works by the author of this publication from the
beginning of the 70s, are the parts of econometrics.
However, in this article we consider only the works,
in the titles of which we can see the word of
"econometrics". In our country the term
"econometrics" has become popular since the mid
90s. However, many publications and training
courses are still developed in the western outdated
paradigm. They do not conform to the new paradigm
of mathematical methods of economics, the new
paradigm of applied statistics and mathematical
statistics, mathematical methods of research. Russian
science school in the field of econometrics operates
within the scientific school in the field of probability
theory and mathematical statistics based by A.N.
Kolmogorov. Russian science school is developed in
accordance with the new paradigm of mathematical
methods. It is necessary to examine the main results
of Russian scientific schools in the field of
econometrics. We present the information on the
institutional design of national scientific schools in
econometrics, in particular, on the activities of the
Institute of High Technologies statistics and
econometrics
