Pilipenko E.V. Tendencies of the Knowledge Based Economy
Formation.
Evolution of
scientific views on nature and the source of social wealth is
considered. The
necessity of application of a comprehensive approach to processes
concerning
with modification material into ideal and backwards is proved. The role
and
value of knowledge as a decisive source to create the real public
benefits are
shown.
Fundamental
principles of the humanistic direction in economic science are
considered. The
major problem of humanistic economy: construction of integrative models
of a
person’s behavior as an economic subject is set. Conceptual bases of a
humanistic economy, methods and mechanisms of state regulation and
economic
policy based on them are considered.
The purpose of the
paper is to introduce the main directions, specific schemes and
restrictions
for the state participation of financing and implementation of
innovation
projects. Special attention is given to the issues of a direct state
participation in their formation and implementation. The author
demonstrates
that the necessity of this participation is determined by the absence
of all
spectrums of market regulators in national innovation system.
Conditions and
tendencies of innovation development are investigated. Analysis has a
multilevel character and covers the economy on the whole (macrolevel)
and the
manufacturing industry (mesolevel). The latter is divided into four
sublevels
according to the international classification. Such important
indicators as
scale and intensity of cooperation are investigated at each level. This
research allows to reveal the possibilities of discovering the main
tendencies
and growth points in cooperation activities. The business activity
categories
bearing internal and/or external competitiveness are found out.
Economic efficiency
of virtual enterprises formation – a new kind of organizational
strictures
appearing due to the widespread of information technologies is analyzed
in this
paper. A simplified econometric model of a virtual enterprise is
proposed. The
conditions influencing the efficiency formation of such strictures in
home
high-tech industries are found out.
This article reveals
essential characteristics of networks from the neoclassical and
institutional
perspectives. The questions of their appearing and emerging, defining
and
classifying are considered. An overview of economical and mathematical
methods
of network analysis is given. Indicators characterizing the networks
structural
properties are proposed. The graph calculus of the fragment of
inter-firm
interactions within a financial and industrial group considering it as
an
evolving network is given.
Various authors’
works offering an alternative approach to the economic theory are
considered in
this article. Criticizing the classical economic theory these authors
attempted
to improve the classical theory or abandon it completely. The main
direction
joining the majority of alternative approaches lies in the rejection of
the
classical theory assumption of the total rationalism of economic units.
Lately
the integration trend has become obvious – the combination of different
humanitarian sciences with an economic theory in order to reflect the
economic
process properly, including society, government and a person as it is.
Using
the morphological analysis the attempt to determine the common pattern
of a
possible integrated economic theory is done.
Wages in this
country are marked by a considerable differentiation and the
substantial share
of those of the working population who are at or below the cost of
living. This
fact is mainly determined by the heterogeneity of the labor force.
Government
distribution policies are not addressed to this problem. Such
heterogeneity
reduces labor motivation, generates inequality of workers at different
levels
of the national economy, prevents the development of labor potential.
Apart from basic
results of foreign economic activities of Russian armament and military
equipment exporters during the period 1998– 2005, this article
considers basic
qualitative components of foreign economic activities. These components
determine activities in such sectors of the world market as «Spare
parts and
post-sale maintenance» and «Modernization of outdated armament types
from moral
and physical point of view». Besides, of special importance is supposed
to be
the state support of such activities and the expansion of domestic
demand for
defense industry products in Russian Federation. Altogether they form
the basis
for a foreign economic strategy of Russian armament and military
equipment
exporters on the world arms market for the medium and long term
perspective.

Problems of Forecasting of Russian Companies Bankruptcy.
Antirecessionary
management is the modern concept of management providing efficient
operation of
an enterprise under risk. Forecasting of bankruptcy is the first stage
of
turnaround management allowing to evaluate the viability of an
enterprise at
current phase and prospects of its development. Therefore, study of
theory and
development of forecasting methods of bankruptcy based on the index
analysis is
of top priority. The research deals with domestic and European
experience on
this issue. Recommendations on opportunities of its usage in Russian
economic
conditions are made.
The material is
published as the manual for the students studying economy. The article
focuses
on the concepts of inflation and price growth. It argues that the
identification of these concepts is erroneous. Analyses the divergences
between
various indicators of the 1992–2005 price level growth in Russia. The
reasons
and consequences of inflation in modern economy are formulated.
