Dynamic Capabilities of an Enterprise: Methods of Revelation and Tracing Maturity (p. 321 - 326)

The article describes key provisions of the methodical approach to revelation of dynamic capabilities of an enterprise and tracing their maturity. It systemises methodological grounds and clarifies main provisions of identification of dynamic capabilities of an enterprise in the context of the resource approach. The author’s generalisation of methodological grounds of the concept of dynamic capabilities is based on revelation of a spectrum of strategic ambitions of an enterprise of the post-industrial era, described in the context of two types of market behaviour – pro-active and re-active (adaptive). The article marks out that various types of market behaviour of an enterprise are based on various methodological platforms, among which the most widespread are the concepts of bursting innovations and “blue ocean”, knowledge management and also a relational concept of a firm. Successful solution of the task of achievement by a firm of stable competitive advantages is gained due to the use of its dynamic capabilities in the spheres of strategic management, innovation and investment activity and business interaction (network of trust relationship with other market participants). The article argues that the mechanism of revelation of dynamic capabilities is based on a combination of unique competences of an enterprise, which are proposed to determine at five levels of an organisation – individual, group (role), functional, strategic and general organisational. Taking into account practical absence of methodical developments in this direction, the article offers to form a scorecard for tracing maturity of dynamic capabilities in the context of the balanced scorecard of activity of an enterprise. The proposed system of key indicators is a part of a theoretical construct and requires adaptation and development for an individual enterprise.

Managing Outsourcing Risks on the Basis of Development of a Mechanism of Distribution of Expected Losses between the Customer and Outsourcer (p. 379 - 383)

Despite a big number of literature that studies risks of outsourcing, the problem of their qualitative analysis stays unsolved. That is why, the goal of the article is to identify main specific features of assessment of risks of outsourcing when introducing them into production and economic activity of an enterprise. Using analysis of methods of the probability theory and statistics, the article offers methods of determining and distribution of expected losses from occurrence of external outsourcing risks, which would allow minimisation losses of the customer.

Comparison of the organisational and legal statuses of commodity and stock exchanges in Ukraine showed that stock exchanges have higher entrance barriers (organisational and legal form, minimal size of the authorised capital, order of use of profit, specific registration procedures and licensing of activity). It was found in the result of the study that underdevelopment of the exchange segment of trade in Ukraine, on the one hand, is caused by availability of system problems in the national economic system and, on the other hand, is an inhibitory factor of economic development. Measures on improvement of the state regulation of the exchange trade includes putting in order the organisational and legal status of exchanges, overcoming the existing fragmentariness of trade areas, development of mechanisms of guarantee of execution of the concluded exchange transactions and stimulation of exchanges to introduce modern electronic trade systems. The prospect of further studies in this direction is development of approaches to assessment of effectiveness and efficiency of exchange trade in Ukraine.

The goal of the article is showing a possibility of solution of the problem of reduction of human efficiency in the information society by means of growth of psychological load.

Graves and his followers the article formulates a hypothesis about expediency of use of spiral dynamics ideas for identifying reserves of strengthening of influence of the collective manager upon labour behaviour of subordinates.

Their use creates a basis of intensification of processes of intellectualisation of the organisation capital. In order to ensure these changes it is necessary to find mechanisms of changing external environment, which sets principally new tasks and requires principally new strategies of their solution.

Analytical Method of Assessment of the State of Personnel Marketing at an Enterprise (p. 423 - 427)

The article considers possibilities of application of marketing elements in the enterprise personnel policy. It presents the author’s methods of assessment of the existing state of the personnel marketing at an enterprise, which are based on three key aspects: objectivity, simplicity and complexness of the approach. Objectivity lies in the statistical nature of data, which eliminates the need in additional aspects, which often contain a subjective position. Simplicity manifests itself in a small number of factors that are analysed: fluctuation of personnel, competence of personnel, development of employees, age structure of personnel, and excess of growth of labour productivity over the growth of average wages. The said factors give a possibility to assess the general state of the personnel policy at an enterprise, which ensures complexity of the approach. The article identifies the algorithm of assessment, which is universal for enterprises from various branches of industry. It presents results of approbation of the proposed methods at food industry enterprises of Ukraine, which show that the enterprise size and branch of activity do not exert a significant influence upon the state of personnel marketing. The obtained results show that the state of the personnel sphere at Ukrainian enterprises corresponds with the middle and lower than middle levels.

The article presents results of an empirical study of the organizational elements of the system of reputation management (SRM), which was conducted by interviewing the representatives from 69 enterprises of the food industry of Ukraine.

In the article, on the basis of the study of the food industry enterprises of Ukraine, is proposed to distinguish between five types of organizational profile of the SRM: customer-related – present are all elements of SRM of the functional level only; transitional – fragmentarily present are elements of organizational preconditions for all three levels (functional, systematic and strategic); developed – at least 80% of elements of the SRM-«foundation» are present; rudimentary – more than 80% of elements of the SRM-«foundation» are absent; child – absence up to 100% of elements of the SRM-«foundation», due to presence of all necessary functions at the level of the main (parent) company. It is proved that for the food enterprises of Ukraine the customer-related type of the organizational profile of the SRM is most common, because of their focus on the domestic market. However, in the coming years we can expect changes in the organizational profiles of SRM of the exporting enterprises: transitional and developed profiles of the SRM will gradually replace the customer-related type.

In today's economy development the socially important issues are at the center of public attention. Most companies declare their social responsibility to the community and integrate it into managerial activity. The article is aimed to study the role and place of social responsibility in the behavior of the contemporary consumer. The concept of corporate social responsibility is considered from the perspective of the consumer, his understanding of and attitudes towards brands that support social initiatives. It has been determined that in the new economic environment when choosing a product to the consumer is no longer enough to be guided only by the functionality of the product, in the foreground comes not the usefulness of the product itself as an item, but the possibility of providing a sense of belonging and identification with the company. The consumer becomes a pragmatic and rational, he changes the culture of his own consumption, when his priority is not possessing, but saving money by means of shared use of goods. Also transformed are relations with companies, as brands that support social initiatives have bigger loyalty from consumers. Examples of socially responsible projects from domestic companies are given, which allowed to allocate social problems that are subject of such initiatives, as well as consumer motives that force the consumer to make a purchase. A definition of «social responsibility on part of the consumer» as reaction and relationship of individual towards the social initiatives of brands generating motives for buying, and in the long run forming consumer's loyalty to the company, has been proposed. Prospects for further research in this area is to examine the mechanism of consumer behavior and to elaborate recommendations to enterprises in the context of corporate social responsibility.

The Methodical Aspects of Material Stimulation in the Motivation System at Enterprises of Electricity Industry (p. 273 - 278)

The article improves the methodical aspects of estimating material stimulation at enterprises of electricity industry. It has been determined that the provided taxonomy coefficients synthetically characterize changes in the values of attributes of the groups studied. Their most important advantage is that, in the course of analysis, we can now use only one indicator, which characterizes the direction and scope of changes in the processes described by the set of arbitrary numbers of incoming attributes. The level of material stimulation in the motivation system of enterprises of electricity in 2012–2015 was researched. It has been noted that during the outlined period there has been a general trend towards an increase in the integral indicator. This results from the economic crisis occurrences and the lack of a well-functioning organizational and economic mechanism for managing the motivation system at enterprises of this industry branch. The integrated assessment of enterprises extends the economic essence of the concept of material stimulation in the motivation system at enterprises of electricity industry, allowing it to be used to characterize the enterprise’s ability to return to its equilibrium status, preserve the parameters and move to a new stage of development in the conditions of accidental changes in the external and internal environment.

Despite the fact that economists and managers have long paid attention to the dependence of management decisions on their hosts, the urgent need to study this dependence appeared at the turn of the millennium with access to the economic arena of the behavioral economy. The latter studies the natural behavior of economic systems in everyday economic life and makes recommendations on how to ensure its continuous improvement, based on the consciousness and subconscious of their active elements (people).

The main difficulty of this idea is that the elements that form the mental models, the relationship between them and the environment are intangible and are not given to us in the sense.
