This article is devoted to the description of the competitive environment of the educational system of higher education. The directions and forms of competition of Russian universities are revealed in accordance with the constructive theory of competition. The article describes the classical theoretical directions of competition: product, industry, intersectoral, and inter-product competition. Product competition is the competition between manufacturers of interchangeable goods in the same distribution channels. It is a rivalry between competing product brands for distribution, otherwise known as trademark competition. Industry competition is the competition between producers of goods using homogeneous, interchangeable resources. In fact, this is competition for resources between producers of one sector, while there may be no product competition in distribution and sales. Inter-product competition is the competition between substitutes from different industries, that is, between representatives of different industries - manufacturers of products that satisfy the same need. Cross-industry competition is the competition of corporate brands in marketing, the general competition of all brands to attract the attention of a certain segment of consumers. The article shows that all four directions of competition appears in their forms in the activities of Russian universities. The specific forms of competition between Russian universities are revealed.

The subject area of the article is the work of a modern organization to counter the threat of corruption from its officials. Persons Specific forms of implementing corruption threats in the commercial, financial, production, technological and personnel areas of the business entity are specified, their negative impact on market positions is determined. The thesis is argued that the degree of protection from the threat of corruption by its own persons is rightfully considered as an additional competitive advantage of any subject of professional entrepreneurship or, accordingly, its competitive disadvantage. The concept of a “workplace with a corruption component” is disclosed and their list in a modern commercial organization is specified. Personal qualities and other characteristics of a candidate for employment or an employee already in the staff are determined, which exclude the possibility of replacing such workplaces. Recommendations are formulated and argued for the introduction of four groups of HR technologies implemented within various areas of the corporate personnel management system and ensuring effective prevention or prompt identification of relevant threats in order to acquire additional competitive advantages for the subject of professional entrepreneurship. The first group of technologies is used in the process of selecting candidates for replacement of jobs with a corruption component. The purpose of their implementation is to identify individual characteristics, the presence of which calls into question both the overall loyalty of the applicant and its “anti-corruption stability.” The second group of technologies involves the prevention of corruption through the use of special tools for the economic motivation of personnel. The third group of technologies provides the possibility of both prevention and detection of the threats under consideration and involves the use of special control procedures when concluding business contracts and contracts for a large business size of a particular organization. Finally, the fourth group of technologies is used to monitor the activities of employees replacing jobs with a corruption component. Continue... | |
The Russian Federation has established and introduced a tax on professional activities (NAP) as part of the development of special tax systems, but the competitiveness of the professions offered by the tax legislation is not taken into account. The authors determined the purpose of the study: the expediency of using the professions specified in the tax legislation to provide services for personal, domestic and (or) other similar needs, For this purpose the following tasks were solved: the place of the NDP in the aggregate of all existing special tax regimes of the Russian Federation was considered; a comparative analysis of the application of taxation of self-employed citizens in Russia and abroad, in particular, in Germany, is carried out. The study uses methods of statistical observation, comparison, and analysis. It is revealed that during the period of use of the NDP, although the number of entrepreneurs has increased, but budget revenues are insignificant. The comparison of the lists of professions showed that the professions allowed for use by self-employed citizens (freelancers) in Germany differ from the Russian ones established by law: they are competitive in the economy. Self-employed citizens must confirm their professions with diplomas, belong to professional associations, associations, be sure to study at advanced training courses, compete with an employee. The analysis of the reasons for the use of the NAP regime by individuals in Russia showed that professional activity within the regime is forced and is aimed at obtaining additional, rather than basic, earnings, as in GermanAs a result of the study, it was found that the professions specified in the legislation of Russia are not competitive. It is proposed to change the list of NPA professions taking into account special professional education and competitiveness in the labor market. Continue... | |
