Assessment Of Integration Climate Of Countries As Tool For Formationof Strategic Business Partnerships

Abstract

Predictive views on globalization can be combined into two scenarios: the strengthening of globalization as a result of the development of new technologies and the weakening of globalization as a result of the revival of national identity. In any scenario for the development of the world economy, priority is given to deepening the links in the sphere of high technology development. The creation of international integration business groups for any country in the current socio-political and economic conditions remains an instrument of involvement in global economic relations. Formation of strategic business partnerships in foreign economic activity is a defensive reaction to the possible negative consequences of globalization. The initial tool of the mechanism for forming strategic partnerships in an international format is to assess the integration conditions prevailing in the countries of the intended partners. The article proposes a methodology for assessing the integration climate of the country of business interaction partners. The evaluation system is based on the integration of the world ratings used to characterize various aspects of public life in states. Approbation of the methodology allowed dividing countries into three groups according to the degree of similarity of the integration climate. The expediency of choosing a business partner is determined by the similarity of the integration climate in the countries of functioning of entrepreneurs initiating a strategic partnership.

Production Strategy Selection Based on Diagnostics of the Economic Potential of an Industrial Enterprise

“…In particular, it is possible to highlight the strategic emphasis (Kaletnik et al, 2011), the emphasis of state influence on the formation of the economic potential of the industrial complex (Savchenko, 2015), the emphasis on measuring the regional economic potential (Shcherbakova, 2018), but this does not change the general resource vision of the studied category. In modern conditions of neo-industrialization, the prospects for the growth of the economic potential of industrial enterprises are associated with:  An increase in the effectiveness of partnerships, including with participation in industrial clusters (Lis, 2020;Rastvortseva, 2014;Tinyakova et al, 2020), with an increase in the level of concentration of production in the region (Nurlanova, 2017), with an increase in the productivity of interaction of industrial enterprises with universities (Johnston and Wells, 2020), anchor entrepreneurs (Ferriani et al, 2020) and other subjects of the innovation environment (Doroshenko et al, 2019), with an increase in the degree of integration of enterprises in supply chains and an increase in the satisfaction of partners (Minovski et al, 2021), with the intensification of export activities (Cai et al, 2020) and import substitution (Smirnov et al, 2019), with an increase in the integration climate of countries (Starikova et al, 2018);  An increase in the efficiency of the use of resources, including non-renewable ones (Ferrannini et al, 2020), which is achieved based on digital transformation (van Tonder et al, 2020), the introduction of technological innovations into production (Li et al, 2020), improving the quality of higher professional education (Hariharan and Biswas, 2020), improving human capital (Hu, 2021), lean, computer-integrated production, socially-oriented and production with high added value (Hitomi, 1997). The methods used in scientific works to assess the economic potential of an industrial enterprise are based on the aggregation of private indicators, which are converted to an index, point, or rank form to ensure comparability.…”
