Annotation: Enterprise risk management is one of the most urgent tasks on which successful functioning of a business entity depends. It is worth paying special attention to the use of various methods and techniques of risk assessment in order to prevent adverse events. It is important for any enterprise to evaluate and analyze risks before they appear. The article will analyze the after-effect of actions during the analysis and risk assessment. The nature of risk and the degree of its impact on business processes is independent of the will of the person and is not always regulated by him, but there is a possibility to choose the most effective methods and techniques to optimize management decisions, as well as to minimize the risks of business processes. The economic entity must make the right decisions to create the necessary control environment, as well as informing the staff and implementing procedures to minimize risk. These factors are key to improve the internal control system and minimize the risk of business processes. The article discusses the possibility of using non-standard methods for business process risk analysis, such as SWOT analysis, and identifies the strengths and weaknesses of this method in risk management.

Annotation: At the present stage of development of society, there is a constant development of information systems (hereinafter referred to as IS), information technologies (hereinafter referred to as IT). The term “Industry 4.0” refers to a qualitative transition from standard production involving large human resources to fully automated digital production, which is managed by IP in real time, as well as with the external environment. The term “Industry 4.0” began to be used as a synonym for the fourth industrial revolution. The essence of it is that today the material world is connected with the virtual, as a result of which new cyber-physical complexes are born. Some large digital companies have started to create IoT platforms and now a fairly large market for these platforms has already been formed. The introduction and use of IoT is a great prospect for every company, IoT provides huge business benefits, including in the field of reducing the cost of products and services by reducing production costs and development opportunities for organizations that do not yet use this technical solution.

Annotation: The purpose of the scientific article is to characterize the dynamics of tourist activity in the Russian Federation, to identify the main difficulties and problems in the work of tour operators and travel agents. The paper analyzes the dynamics of the performance indicators of tourist operators and based on it, highlights the main problems. The role of the tourism industry in the economy of a particular country and the world was also assessed, its relevance in the context of the globalization of the modern world was emphasized. When analyzing the dynamics, methods of calculating the rates of growth and growth are used, which make it possible to assess the change in indicators over time. It is concluded that crises in the economy and foreign policy strongly affect the state of tourism in the country, the level of income it brings. Particular attention is paid to the consequences of force majeure, such as a pandemic, the occurrence of which is almost impossible to predict. The article analyzes statistical data on the dynamics of the number of inbound and outbound tourist trips. The main directions of improving the performance indicators of enterprises of the tourism industry in Russia are highlighted.

Annotation: In urban planning, unlike economic conglomerate, the term “agglomeration” is adopted, referring to the accumulation of closely related settlements in conditions of extremely high population density, with the presence of a core city. In this case conditions pendular (daily) migration of the working (able-bodied) population of about 15 % of the population occupied in production are created. In addition, the share of inter-village territories in the agglomeration is much less than the territory of settlements. In Kazakhstan, a typical agglomeration is considered Shimkent and partially Almaty. In the future, according to the Regional Development Program, Astana and Aktobe settlement groups are also included in the agglomeration. However, the Regional Development Programme (RDP) uses the term “single agglomeration entity” in addition to the term agglomeration. For example, with respect to the Capital agglomeration, it is noted that the city of Karaganda tends to unite into the constituent part of the Astana agglomeration, as well as near the settlements lying near Karaganda (satellite cities, villages). They may well create a single agglomeration entity. Full formation of second level agglomerations (Aktube) is predicted only in the long term.

Annotation: The article presents the main approaches to the technology of evaluating the effectiveness of information support for innovation management based on the construction of a competitive market map, diagnostics of the competitive environment and assessment of the level of innovative activity of the enterprise. This technology allows us to study the relationship between the level of competitiveness of the analyzed enterprise and how well the system of information support for innovation management is set, which is later tested on the example of 10 enterprises in the practical part of this article. The article describes the technology of building a competitive map, calculating the main indicators for grouping enterprises by the size of the market share and the rate of change in the market share. The article describes the procedure for evaluating the effectiveness of information support for innovation management in three main blocks: innovation management, innovation potential, and the technical and economic level of products. Interpretation of the results of the analysis allows us to draw conclusions about the dependence of the competitive position of the enterprise and the effectiveness of information support for management decisions.
