DOI: 10.21777/2587-554X-2023-1-7-15

Annotation: For nine years, Russia has been under the influence of sanctions imposed by a number of European countries and the United States. From 2014 to 2022, sanctions were put forward by the world community, which had a significant impact on all spheres of the country’s public life. At the same time, there is a gradual transition from targeted restrictions on individuals and enterprises to blocking entire sectors of the Russian economy. The consequences of the imposed sanctions seriously affect the Russian economy. The article analyzes the impact of anti-Russian sanctions on the country’s economy. It was noted that the sanctions impact on the country’s economy was reflected in the reduction in GDP, inflation growth, reduction in imports, and reduction in the volume of Russia’s foreign trade. The article analyzes the prospects for the development of the country’s economy in the context of ongoing sanctions. A possible scenario for further development is proposed, taking into account adaptation to the modern realities of economic development.

Page:16-24

DOI: 10.21777/2587-554X-2023-1-16-24

RESEARCH OF SIGNIFICANT FACTORS OF CHOOSING A MEDICAL ORGANIZATION FOR CONSUMERS OF MEDICAL SERVICES IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Page:35-41

DOI: 10.21777/2587-554X-2023-1-35-41

Annotation: The importance of the factors of choosing a medical organization by patients has changed recently. These changes reflect fundamental problems that have not been solved in healthcare for a long time. The purpose of this study is to monitor the factors of choosing a medical organization by a patient and identify the reasons that contribute to changing consumer preferences when choosing a medical organization. In the course of the study, methods of collecting and analyzing secondary information were used: statistical data, expert reviews, data from sociological surveys presented in the reports of analytical agencies and in publications were analyzed. In the course of the study, the authors made the assumption that the main value for the patient are: effective treatment and a high level of service. However, the study revealed a change in consumer preferences of patients when choosing a medical organization. The importance of factors ensuring the effectiveness of treatment, such as “doctor’s qualification” and “usefulness of admission” decreased, while the importance of the factors “price of medical services” and “technical equipment of a medical organization” increased. It was revealed that the increase in the importance of the “price of medical services” factor is associated with a shortage of personnel in most regions of the Russian Federation, as well as with the partial unification of the treatment process, which arose as a result of the introduction of clinical treatment recommendations. And the increase in the importance of the factor “technical equipment of medical organizations” is associated with excessive wear of equipment in medical organizations. The results obtained are of practical importance, since they can be useful for building a patient-oriented healthcare management system.

FEATURES OF MANAGEMENT DECISION-MAKING BY TECHNOLOGICAL ENTREPRENEURS

Page:99-107

DOI: 10.21777/2587-554X-2023-1-99-107

Annotation: Technological entrepreneurship is essential for the development of the country, ensuring technological sovereignty and import surpass. This requires the adoption of sound management decisions by technological entrepreneurs. There are a large number of scientifically based and empirical approaches, decision-making methods, but little has been studied how managerial decisions are made by technology entrepreneurs in practice. The article presents the results of a questionnaire survey of technology entrepreneurs about the features of their decisionmaking. It is noted that they have a fairly high level of awareness in the theory and methods of decision-making, but in practice they use the simplest techniques. Information support for decision-making is also limited to the most accessible free sources. It is concluded that within the framework of acceleration programs, it is necessary to train potential technology entrepreneurs to justify decisions more fully and efficiently (taking into account the specifics of their activities). The conducted research of technological entrepreneurs showed a shortage of competencies and resources in the field of managerial decision-making.
