Andriy Artemenko — Fri, 27 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The cluster approach has become a pivotal model for fostering regional development worldwide, contributing significantly to economic competitiveness, innovation potential, and efficient resource management. This study analyzes the current state of cluster development in Ukraine and compares it with global trends. It highlights the role of clusters in addressing regional economic challenges and improving integration into global markets. Despite its potential, Ukraine faces numerous obstacles in cluster formation, including insufficient funding, weak infrastructure, and a lack of collaboration among businesses, academia, and government. Globally, clusters thrive in industries such as information technology, agriculture, biotechnology, and green energy, with notable success stories in regions like the European Union, the United States, and China. These regions benefit from well-coordinated policies, substantial investments, and developed infrastructure that support cluster growth. In Ukraine, promising sectors such as IT, agriculture, and renewable energy have shown significant progress, yet regional disparities remain a challenge. The uneven distribution of clusters, limited integration into global markets, and an underdeveloped infrastructure hamper their full potential. The study underscores the importance of leveraging global best practices to develop systematic cluster policies, enhance cooperation between stakeholders, and promote innovation. It identifies critical success factors such as state support, advanced infrastructure, favorable investment climates, and international collaboration. Implementing these strategies could transform clusters into key drivers of economic growth and regional development in Ukraine. The findings emphasize the need for a unified approach to cluster policy that considers the unique characteristics and potential of each region. With appropriate measures, Ukraine can harness its natural resources, educational potential, and geographical advantages to establish competitive clusters that contribute to sustainable development.

The purpose of the paper is to substantiate the areas, directions, and tools of further complex digitalization of the labour management within the framework of HR engineering technologies, which allow for the systematic improvement of the quality of professional and qualification potential, the level of productive employment and social protection of personnel of business entities as key factors in increasing their economic efficiency and sustainable development in the face of a spectrum of national and global socio-economic challenges. The study’s methodology is based on the generalization, comparison, synthesis and analysis of traditional and innovative objectives, functions, tools and areas of application of digital technologies and complex HR engineering in the context of ensuring its multi-faceted effective impact on systemic labour management, economic efficiency and sustainable development of enterprises (in particular, in terms of their profitability, competitiveness, innovativeness, qualitative regulation of social aspects of labour relations, balanced civic responsibility). In unstable and adverse socio-economic conditions of the national and global origins, the set of approaches and technologies to improve labour management through the systemic HR engineering results in balancing and consistent increasing in both the efficiency of economic activities and the solution of a range of social problems in the development of the workforce and the enterprise as a whole. The systemic nature of labour management based on digitalized HR engineering is ensured by combining its traditional business functions (economic, organizational and administrative, socio-psychological) with strategic, innovative and wide social functions (in particular, regarding monitoring the level of capitalization and improvement of employees’ talents, skills and abilities, stimulating their career growth, team building, optimizing cooperation and mechanisms of interaction between employees and an enterprise’s heads, implementing social initiatives of an economic entity regarding its personnel and external environment), which are carried out through modern information and analytical, accounting and financial, recruiting and educational technologies. Practical implications of the digitalized HR engineering involves: balancing an enterprise’s human resources according to the consistently improved job description and required professional competencies in the ratio of hard, soft and digital skills; productive employment; optimizing capitalization of personnel professional and qualification qualities, his working and extra-working conditions. Thus, business profitability increases in accordance with the criteria of its sustainable development and resilience, which have broad social and individual value. Value / originality of this approach to substantiate the goals, tasks, functions, and areas of application of digitalized HR engineering will increase the complexity and effectiveness of systemic measures for stimulating the sustainable development of an enterprise based on improving its organizational and process model, systematizing and increasing the efficiency of management and business activities, ensuring productive employment, advancing the professional and qualification potential of personnel.

The purpose of the article is to analyze assessing the effectiveness of organizational models of interaction between the population and small and medium-sized enterprises in the field of waste processing. Methodology. In the study of the interaction between the population and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the field of waste processing, it is necessary to use methods that allow for a deeper understanding of the problem and its aspects. The main methods that were applied are: literature analysis: this method provided for the study and systematization of scientific articles, studies, reports and publications related to the topic of waste processing, interaction between the population and SMEs. Literature analysis helped to identify existing theoretical concepts, approaches and models that can be used to understand the specifics of the problem under study. Content analysis – this method involved the analysis of documents, reports, media materials and other information related to the research topic. Comparative analysis – the use of comparative analysis made it possible to compare different organizational models of interaction in different regions or countries. Results. The article examines the international experience of countries such as Germany, Sweden, Japan, South Korea and the Netherlands, which are implementing different models of waste management. Germany demonstrates the effectiveness of separate collection, Sweden – financial incentives for the population, Japan focuses on thermal treatment technologies, South Korea – on educational programs, and the Netherlands is implementing the concept of "circular economy". The article emphasizes that the adaptation of these international practices to Ukrainian realities can significantly improve the efficiency of the waste management system. The introduction of innovative solutions, strengthening legal regulation and active participation of the population can ensure sustainable development and reduce negative impact on the environment. The highlighted recommendations provide a basis for further research and development of strategies aimed at improving the interaction between the population and enterprises in the context of waste processing in Ukraine. The main elements of assessing the effectiveness of organizational models of interaction between the population and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the field of waste processing are considered, and international experience in this area is also analyzed. It is determined that public awareness, community involvement, social responsibility of SMEs, economic efficiency, technological innovation, feedback, legal regulation, information support and infrastructure development are key elements that contribute to successful waste management. Each of these aspects contributes to the formation of active public participation in the processes of waste collection and recycling, which is the basis for sustainable development. Practical implications. An approach to assessing the effectiveness of organizational models of interaction between the population and small and medium-sized enterprises in the field of waste recycling is presented. The use of an integral index, multi-criteria analysis (AHP method) and statistical methods (correlation and regression analysis) is proposed to identify key factors of influence and compare models.
