The process of growth of corporations and groups of companies has slowed down in Russia since 2008-2009 but has not stopped. Nowadays, a group of companies is usually a poly-industry organization with the presence of none-core companies and companies of the social bloc that is often the result of a trade-off of large business and the government. The task of bringing out the groups of companies of the social bloc into the break-even zone in Russia became acute after 2014 due to a reduction in reserves of profitability growth in the main profitable blocs. It is very difficult for the management of the group of companies to differentiate external risks, some complex system and accidental internal factors of activity of a relatively large number of economic entities and not to lose control of the group as a whole. In the authors' opinion, the development of a methodology for informational support of policy decisions regarding the architecture of a group of companies can be based on well-known concepts (the concept of strategic management) and approaches (systematic and process approaches). Then, the management of the group of companies is presented in the form of a list of competencies with assigned managerial functions of information support of different levels developed by the authors and presented in the paper.

The author reflects on how our understanding of the motivation of an intellectual worker is being transformed today. How much does the creative component of work change the structure of motivation? Where is the line between labor-necessity and labor-need? Can there be a universal approach to financial incentives in this case? The author proposes for discussion the matrix developed for choosing the level of individualization (collectivization) of the motivation system in corporations, summarizing various sources. Companies in the high-tech sector, which is making an increasing contribution to the GDP of the leading economies, contrary to popular belief, are increasingly using the assessment of collective (team) work considering individual professional competencies. Thus, the article examines not the most noticeable "critical areas" of modern research on the motivation for intellectual work, and also presents the author's conclusions about possible practical tools in this area.

Great interest to the concept, principles, and tools of efficient use of resources is caused not only and not so much by “the fashion” for so called tactical anti-crisis measures but by the strategic necessity to provide the resources base of the real sector of economy in the long-term perspective. Sometimes advantageous environment quickly disrupts stable growth during the period. The analysis of data shows that in spite of the vector of energy efficiency and reasonable use of raw materials declared in separate economies their world consumption grows on the background of the decreasing reserves. The authors of this research offer a multilevel (three-stage) system of energy efficiency management. It can become the basis of the national economic strategy of providing future generations with resources because it focuses the managing impact, above all, on the regional level and thereby it gives it “the operating” tone.
