Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the features of higher education management in the context of global economic transformations. Design/methodology/approach A correlation-regression analysis of the functionality of the modern education system was carried out in the “personality-society-economy” triad by analyzing the impact of global indices such as Economic Quality Index, Personal Freedom Index and Social Capital Index on the resultant indicator, or the Education Index. Findings It was determined that the impact of economic factors on the level of education is rather low, and at the same time, this indicator largely depends on the indicator of the social capital. In this regard, the following social trends have been identified that need to be implemented for the successful education management: expanding the population education program, as well as providing lifelong education, ensuring equal access to quality education, strengthening the role of the state in ensuring equity in education, efficient and effective use of education costs, humanization and democratization of education, updating the content, forms, methods and means of training, enhancing the professional competence of teachers, transparency of education systems, the formation of state-public forms of education management. Originality/value In the framework of the proposed research, it was established the hypothesis that the modern education system is dependent on the relation between individual, society and the national economy.
Introduction. The purpose of any production is to get the most possible profits in a market economy. Therefore, they can confidently develop their production and financial activities only those enterprises that receive from it the highest economic result. Those companies that work inefficiently, with a low profitability or are generally loss-making, are not viable. Producers of low-quality products or inefficient enterprises experience the greatest difficulties. However, the most powerful firms can flourish in a difficult time, because they go to segments of the market, which previously served by competitors who were ruined. As the experience of recent years has shown, most modern enterprises are not ready for competitive struggle. One of the key factors that determined the complexity of the situation is the lack of systematic representations about competitive advantages, how to create them and with which methods to implement them. The modern theory of competition, which has many practical provisions, is a powerful scientific base for solving important problems in the system of competitiveness management. Methods. The following methods are used when conducting the study: monographic, statistical, calculation and constructive. Results. The study of the essence of the concept of competitiveness and determination of its level in the context of development of farms and ensuring the realization of their strategic goals of the activity has been carried out. The constituents of the management of the competitiveness of farms are substantiated. The results of calculating the rating of the level of economic development of farms and the grounded development strategies of the farms of the Khmelnytskyi region are presented. Discussion. Increasing the efficiency of the organization in the long run depends, first of all, on the choice and implementation of the economic development strategy. Since the competitiveness of the company depends both on its activity and on the external environment, it is necessary to allocate and analyze the factors that have a significant impact. Priority directions for improving the competitiveness of farms are the introduction of geoinformation systems, the establishment of a servicing cooperative and the union of farmers, which will become an important task of scientific research into the future. Keywords: agricultural enterprises, farms, competitiveness, management system, land resources, production, development.

The essence and uniqueness of social business in solving the most sensitive problems of the society, being able to survive independently and ensure the continuity of activities gives this form of activity an advantage and determines its growing popularity. There are many different definitions of social business. Some authors explain the definition of social business by distinguishing the main aspects that distinguish social business from other forms of activity. However, there are also forms very close to social business. The research objective is to present differences of social business concepts and to identify advantages of such initiatives. The analysis of social business concepts has shown that social business is defined by three principles: social business solves social problems that are not addressed by the public sector; the main motive of social business is public benefit; representatives of social business exploit market mechanisms (without excluding the existing ones) when creating social benefits. Research has shown that social business does not yet have one specific definition, but, according to the development and perception of social business, two main directions can be distinguished: Anglo-American and European.
The article considered the process of forming an enterprise strategy in the following stages: analysis of the external and internal environment of an enterprise, formation of a system of enterprise goals, assessment of alternative development strategies and the choice of one of them, implementation of the chosen strategy, and adjustment of the strategy. It is proposed to analyze the external environment in accordance with the concept of the industry life cycle. The concept of the life cycle of the industry, in particular the main stages of development of the industry and the criteria that are the basis for their identification, has been investigated. It is proposed to use the scientific developments of Porter and use the following characteristics as criteria: behavior of buyers of products (services), changes in goods, the nature of competitive relations in the market, profits of enterprises in the industry and marketing activities. Accordingly, it is proposed to highlight the stages of the industry development: implementation, growth, maturity, decline. Alternative strategies of enterprise development at various stages of the industry life cycle are considered: the strategy for realizing the advantages of the pioneer, the strategy of change response, the strategy of change management, the strategy of stabilization, the strategy of reduction, the strategy for finding segments of steady demand, as well as the strategy of the "last time". The main characteristics of these strategies are studied. The analysis of the life cycle of the agricultural industry in Ukraine has been carried out and it has been established that according to most of the characteristics it is at the stage of maturity. The industry has established relationships between producers and business consumers, enterprises receive average profits and specialize in the production of certain types of agricultural products of sufficiently high quality, and there are processes of gradual ousting of competitors from the market. It is proposed to agricultural enterprises as a possible strategy to implement a stabilization strategy that best suits the conditions of the external environment.
