Annotation: The article is devoted to the study of the potential of introducing digital technologies into the system of social and labor relations in higher education at the industry level. Structurally, the article consists of an analysis of quantitative indicators characterizing social and labor relations in the field of higher education. Based on the results of the analysis, it is shown that the higher education sector is characterized by imbalances associated with a decrease in the number of employees, aging of the teaching staff and low rates of wage indexation, lag- ging behind the rate of inflation. In our opinion, the improvement of the social and labor relations management system is associated with the introduction of digital technologies into the organizational processes of higher education organizations. The article shows that the field of higher education has a great potential for introducing digital technologies into organizational and socio-labor processes through the creation of a digital management platform at the federal level. This management system could incorporate functionality that, among other things, would relate to the management of social and labor relations.

Annotation: The study of the innovative potential of food industry enterprises is key in creating an effective anti-crisis strat- egy, as it allows identifying new opportunities for adaptation and sustainable development in the conditions of economic turbulence. The authors try to establish the degree of influence of the level of innovative potential on the success of the anti-crisis strategy of food industry enterprises. The article defines critical success factors for Russian food industry enterprises. One of the most important objectives of the study is to identify the relationship between the capitalization of food industry enterprises and their innovative potential. In addition, a list of alter- native anti-crisis strategies was developed during the study and the directions of their implementation by food industry enterprises were substantiated. The result of the study is a tested relevant model for choosing effective directions for implementing the anti-crisis strategy of a food industry enterprise. The authors conclude that the level of innovative potential influences the choice of the direction of the anti-crisis strategy by the management of a food industry enterprise. The conducted correlation analysis confirmed the presence of a strong positive relationship between the market capitalization of food industry enterprises and the level of their innovative po- tential (r = 0,7). Therefore, innovative potential becomes a key factor in capitalization.

Annotation: This article examines the development of social benefits structures in large companies. It examines the impact of labour shortages on the content and types of benefits packages at major Russian banks. The author focuses on the specifics of the structure of social benefits for information technology specialists, the shortage of which is particularly acute in today’s realities. The article analyses the general and specific components of the social package offered to IT specialists in the financial sector of the economy. The article emphasizes the particular importance of an active HR policy of organizations aimed at creating an effective social package in order to address issues of retaining and attracting personnel in the field of information technology. An effective two-tier model of social benefits is proposed, including basic elements at the first level and additional options at the second level that promote the personal and professional development of specialists. A conclusion is drawn regarding the strategic importance of developing personalized compensation packages in the context of competition for talent.

Annotation: The subject of the study is Russian integration into global production chains (GPC) through diversification of non-resource non-energy exports (NNE). The aim of the work is to develop a strategy to strengthen Russian position in the GPC, considering the current geopolitical tensions. Special attention is paid to the stimulation of the national non-resource sector by the raw material industries. The study is based on the analysis of the interim results of the “International cooperation and export” program, which showed the continued relevance of diversification of NNE and the need to revise the existing approaches. At the same time, an assessment of the degree of Russian integration into GPC for the period 2014–2024 was carried out based on the analysis of World Bank and World Trade Organization studies. The conclusion is drawn on the dominance of upward participation over downward participation. Based on the results of the study, a comprehensive strategy for the greater integration of the country into global production chains has been developed. The strategy is based on the conclusion that Russia, as a significant global exporter of raw materials, has the potential to effectively use this advantage by creating infrastructure focused on deep processing of raw materials and production of high value-added products.

Annotation: The article describes the features of macro-regions as subjects of meso-level economic regulation and their place in achieving strategic goals of spatial development. It is shown that the institutional structure of macroregions within the strategic planning system does not allow them to function as a coherent entity. A set of problems has been identified that prevent macro-regions from becoming full-fledged participants in the state policy of regional development, which include the lack of development of their status, lack of subjectivity, the presence of other macro-territories represented by federal districts, which leads to the “duplication” of participants at the meso- level of spatial regulation organization. The conclusion is made about the rather formal nature of macro-regional strategies aimed at ensuring the interaction of regional economies within the socio-economic space of a country, as their goal-setting is not supported by adequate institutions, resources, and tools. Proposals have been made to clarify conceptual approaches to the development of strategic documents for macroregions, in order to establish a logical relationship with the strategies of federal subjects and fill them with specific content and indicators. This will increase the functional capabilities of meso-territories in ensuring the unity of the economic space.
