Annotation: The article describes the components of the concept of sustainable development from its one-component representation to a multicomponent and multilevel phenomenon, analyzes alternative approaches to the interpretation of the concept of sustainable development. There has not been a generally accepted definition of the concept of “sustainable development” up to this point, which leads to the emergence of new approaches to the interpretation of its content. The stages of the development of the concept of sustainable development are outlined in retrospect. Alternative approaches to the definition of the concept of “sustainable development” are presented, taking into account changing external conditions. The authors presented their position on the components and levels that should be included in the concept of sustainable development in the article. The author’s definition of the concept of sustainable development is proposed. An attempt has been made to develop a three-pronged concept of sustainable development, taking into account the importance of the managerial aspect.

Annotation: The purpose of the article is to clearly indicate the subject of the “invitation to discussion” related to the search for ways to overcome the deontological or non-essential understanding of intellectual capital as a factor of production. The research methodology lies in the logical-epistemological and semasiological analysis of the “intellectual” phenomenon in the modern economy; the heuristic potential of such paired categories of dialectics as “whole and part”, ‘general and specific” is also used. The results of the study, containing elements of scientific novelty, consist, first, in the proposed brief retrospective of the existing interpretations of intellectual capital in a critical analysis of the basic attributes of the content of this concept; second, in conclusions that fix systemic analytical dysfunctions of existing interpretations of intellectual capital; third, in the formulation and verification of key aspects that characterize the debatable nature of the problem, associated with the inappropriateness of including the phenomenon of intellectual capital in the current neoclassical paradigm. The scientific and practical significance of the conclusions of the article lies in the focus of creative discussion on the search for intellectual forms in the modern economy on the basis of a clear verification of the relevant ontology of the “intellectual” phenomenon as such.

Annotation: The article discusses the problem of innovative development of such a strategically important infrastructure sector of the Russian economy as pipeline transport. The purpose of the study is to determine the features of existing technologies in pipeline transport and the possibility of applying foreign experience in Russian PPP practice. With the methods of analysis, synthesis, systematization, modeling, the authors of this article conducted a study of the current state of fixed assets and applied technologies in the field of oil pipeline transport, which made it possible to identify the main problems standing in the way of innovation in this strategic sector of the economy, as well as to analyze innovative activities in the pipeline transport sector. As a result, the features of innovative activity in the field of pipeline transport are identified and characterized. The types of technological innovations in pipeline transport are determined. The analysis of the functionally-oriented and project-based approaches to innovation, models of closed and open innovations in the field of pipeline transport is carried out. The authors identify significant limitations that have arisen on the way to introducing an open innovation model in the Russian oil and gas sector, which objectively makes a choice in favor of a closed innovation model. The conducted analysis of the effectiveness of innovation models helped to determine the need to search for new routes and methods of transportation of hydrocarbons.

Annotation: The article describes the issues of reproduction of fixed assets at industrial enterprises in Russia. On the basis of the analysis of statistical data for 2013–2021, an assessment of the effectiveness of the use of fixed assets in the industry of Russia was carried out. An analysis of the statistical indicators of the renewal of fixed assets in the industrial sector of the Russian Federation showed their significant decrease in dynamics over the past ten years. It has been determined that the practical implementation of the optimization of the processes of reproduction of fixed assets at industrial enterprises in Russia should be based not only on taking into account the factor of investment support for this process, but also on taking into account environmental factors. In this regard, to build a model for optimizing the processes of reproduction of fixed assets of industrial enterprises, it is proposed to use not only the indicator of investment support, but also the strategic balance of the organization, which allows you to compare the impact of strategic assets and liabilities on the activities of the enterprise in the future. Based on this, a model was developed for predicting strategic directions for optimizing the processes of reproduction of fixed assets of industrial enterprises, taking into account the possibilities of its investment support and changes in environmental factors.

Annotation: The modern stage of the development of the global economy is characterized by a transition to a new technological structure, globalization of socio-economic processes, an increase in their unpredictability and insustainability, a high level of risks in making management decisions. As part of the fourth industrial revolution, industrial enterprises can create high-tech jobs with higher wages and ensure the growth of human capital in the country. The forming of professional competencies of personnel is an important process of functioning of industrial enterprises in the context of digital transformation. The article is devoted to the study of new labor market requirements forming for the competencies of personnel in companies in the context of digitalization of the economy. The purpose of the work is to study, consider new labor market requirements applicable to personnel, namely their knowledge, skills and abilities in the company in order to form and develop the company’s competitive advantages in the context of digitalization of the economy.
