Annotation: The article examines the features of managing innovative business processes of IT startups as a special type of organi- zation operating in conditions of high uncertainty and rapid technological dynamics. An analysis of the evolution of innovation development models has revealed that traditional innovation process models do not provide adequate flex- ibility for digital startups. A hybrid innovation management concept is proposed, based on a combination of integrated and network models that ensure synchronization of internal business processes with external partner interactions. It is shown that effective management of innovation processes of an IT startup involves the use of digital technologies, end-to-end integration of communications, as well as participation in ecosystems of innovative development. It is con- cluded that the key factors for the success of IT startups are the flexibility of the organizational structure, the ability to quickly test hypotheses and the adaptation of business processes to the dynamics of the digital economy. The proposed approach allows us to assert that IT startups, unlike classical companies, are forced to build innovative activities at the intersection of two models: integrated as the basis of internal processes and network as a system of external relations.

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.
