Annotation: The role of corporate volunteering in Russia, which helps strengthen the social responsibility of business and achieve national development goals, is increasing from year to year. In recent years, there has been a signifi- cant increase in the number of companies implementing such programs, which reflects the desire of businesses to contribute to solving social and environmental problems of the country. The object of the study is corporate volunteering as a socially significant activity of organizations. The article examines the historical process of the emergence of corporate volunteering. A study of the concept of “corporate volunteering” was conducted, the goals and objectives of this type of activity were identified. The author assessed the role and benefits of corporate volunteering for companies and employees. The article also considers the forms of implementation of corporate volunteering in Russia. The article examines the legal and organizational restrictions on the development of corporate volunteering in Russia. The article provides an in-depth analysis of corporate volunteering as an element of corporate social responsibility of a factor in the sustainable development of organizations and society. The influence of corporate volunteering on the socio-economic development of regions and organizations was revealed. In light of these ideologies, the author developed recommendations for the development of corporate volunteering programs in Russian companies, with the help of which it is possible to increase the social responsi- bility of business, strengthen the internal corporate culture and create effective strategies for involving employees in volunteer activities, which will have a positive impact on the sustainable development of organizations.

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 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.

Annotation: The article studies the impact of a decent life of an individual on improving the quality and effectiveness of the national innovation system (NIS) in the context of modern threats to sustainable socio-economic development. A new “six-pronged” NIS model has been developed and substantiated, including a dignified person, civil society, the rule of law, science, education and entrepreneurship. The high production capacity and efficiency of the new NIS has been revealed, which consists in a full cycle of innovation creation: from implicit knowledge to the final product of personal and productive consumption. The proposed algorithm for the functioning of the new NIS within the framework of the appropriate mechanism of public-private partnership in optimizing cen- tralized planning and market self-regulation is considered. A new parametric model of NIS is proposed, based on the paradigm of a decent life for an individual and meeting the requirements of expanded reproduction of large-scale and radical innovations. The general outline of a new political economic model of decent living and modernization of the economy as a disciplinary matrix of qualitative renewal of the NIS in the conditions of the sixth technological order and the requirements of ensuring economic security has been developed. The increas- ing role of the public sector of the economy as the most important source of implicit knowledge and, hence, the cognitive basis of NIS is justified.
