The paper substantiates the feasibility of creating a separate mechanism on the enterprises carrying out foreign economic activity, aimed at its financial regulation. Based on the analysis of the domestic legal framework and scientific research on foreign economic activity and enterprise finances, the features of financial regulation of business entities foreign economic activity are determined, which should be taken into account when building an appropriate mechanism. The mechanism of financial regulation of business entities foreign economic activity is developed and its components are investigated. The field of application of results. Scientific research of the problems of financial regulation of business entities foreign economic activity, the educational process (in the preparation of the relevant sections of textbooks and tutorials for courses "Finance", "Foreign economic activity"). Conclusions according to the article. When forming the mechanism of financial regulation of business entities foreign economic activity, the peculiarities of such a regulation at the business entities level should be taken into account. The structure of the mechanism of financial regulation of business entities foreign economic activity is built based on its belonging to the general mechanism of enterprise management, the mechanism of foreign economic activity management, the financial mechanism of enterprises, and the monetary-financial mechanism of foreign economic activity. The structure includes financial management of business entity foreign economic activity as a set of target, functional, providing, and management subsystems, as well as a subsystem of financial levers through which the influences on foreign economic activity are made, and a direct regulation subsystem. Along with the key role of state regulation, the enterprises’ managers must make and implement independent decisions, develop their own systems of financial regulation of foreign economic activity at the corporate level.

Introduction. The paper is devoted to the problems of research of features and modern mechanisms of economic regulation of foreign economic activity of enterprises in Ukraine. The purpose of the paper is to improve the scientific and methodological basis for stimulating the development of foreign economic activity of enterprises and substantiation of the theoretical foundations of foreign economic activity of enterprises in order to further their development in the today's globalized world. Results. It is determined that one of the problems of foreign economic activity of enterprises is the problem of inefficient management system, lack of strategic and marketing approaches to enterprise management, and enterprises more often use the technique of short-term adaptation. An enterprise focused on the development of foreign economic activity should develop approaches to improve international marketing, especially in terms of making effective management decisions based on the processing of a significant amount of information data and assessing the factors of the international market environment. The main condition for the adaptation of enterprises to the rapidly changing external environment may be the formation of a system of strategic planning, which provides a more rational use of limited resources, promotes consistent development and implementation of management decisions, focuses on sustainable development in market conditions. The management staff should clearly formulate the principles of strategic research in order to intensify foreign trade in industrial enterprises, and most importantly – formed a marketing strategy for foreign trade. The main means of increasing the potential of foreign economic activity of enterprises are the formation of such economic conditions that would allow due to modernization of production to increase domestic production and services, introduce innovative technologies. Conclusion. In order to improve the foreign economic activity of Ukrainian enterprises, it is proposed to implement a policy aimed at increasing merchandise exports by introducing innovative developments to improve the quality of domestic products, which must meet international norms and standards necessary to create a sufficient level of competitiveness in domestic markets.

Abstract. The COVID-19 pandemic caused an economic downturn, and business development strategies based on globalization and integration failed. So it is necessary to develop new organizational and economic mechanisms of strategic company management, which will compensate for the losses of foreign markets. The focus should be on operation within the national economy as a major alternative to globalised markets. The purpose was to develop proposals for improving the mechanism of strategic company management in the context of implementation of investment policy. The study involved scientific developments that consider the theoretical and practical aspects of development, analysis and implementation of dynamic models of company management. The study showed that the main purpose of strategic company management is to maximize its value to shareholders. The methodological framework of the study is systems theory, a systems approach to strategic company management, theory and practice of simulation. The mechanism of strategic company management based on investment activity is suggested. An algorithm for improving strategic investment management is suggested. The mechanism allows the management to identify and analyze possible consequences in implementation of investment strategies, as well as take into account the impact of these factors on the stable company operation. The proposed mechanism of strategic management also allows linking the full range of strategic actions, strategic marketing research, company’s investment policy, measures to control, identify and take into account the degree of risk, evaluate strategies and adjust management decisions to ensure company’s sustainable development. Keywords: innovations, investment policy, management, national economy, organizational and economic mechanism, sustainable economic development.

Introduction. While carrying out production, economic and foreign economic activities, domestic enterprises face important issues of ensuring their financial stability and effective management of the financial resources’ formation, distribution and use process. The purpose of the paper is to build a conceptual model for managing the financial resources of an enterprise in the implementation of foreign economic activity, which will allow for high-quality diagnostics of financial resources at the stages of their formation, distribution and use. Results. The influence of globalization processes on the functioning of domestic business entities provides for a periodic renewal of the mechanism and model for financial resources management. The main constituent elements of the model for managing the enterprise financial resources are characterized, namely: the aim and main objectives; subjects of financial resources management; technology of financial resources strategic management at the enterprise; factors of influence on the management processes and the system of ensuring the financial resources management of the enterprise in the implementation of foreign economic activity. The technology of the company's financial resources strategic management has been developed. A conceptual model for managing the financial resources of an enterprise in the implementation of foreign economic activity has been formed, which considers organizational, functional and information support. Conclusion. The application of the financial resource management conceptual model in the practical activities of enterprises will ensure the achievement of the goals and objectives of the enterprise, contribute to the improvement of its financial condition and the movement of financial flows, as well as allow alternative management decision-making on the formation and implementation of the strategy for managing the financial resources of the enterprise in the conditions of new foreign markets development.

Purpose. The aim of the study is development and harmonization of conceptual approaches to the improvement of normative and legal, organizational and economic mechanisms of development of foreign economic activity in the conditions of Euro-regional cooperation. Methodology of research. A set of general scientific research methods is used to achieve the defined goal and objectives, thanks to which the scientific literature and normative-legislative documents on the topic of scientific research are generalized. Thus, comparison methods are used to identify differences and find common features in the concepts of “cross-border” and “Euro-regional” cooperation; methods of generalization and abstraction to substantiate the concepts of “intensification of foreign economic activity of the region” and “organizational and economic mechanism of intensification of foreign economic activity of the region in terms of Euro-regional cooperation”. The system approach allowed to explore the essence of the concept of “foreign economic activity of the region”, namely its patterns, mechanisms, forms, types and directions, one of which is cross-border (Euro-regional) cooperation. Methods of classification (typology) are revealed for systematization of the factors having essential influence on development of foreign economic activity of regions in the conditions of Euro-regional cooperation. Findings. The main reasons for the low development of foreign economic activity of the regions of Ukraine are identified, which are primarily: the imperfection of the regulatory and legislative system of state regulation of foreign economic activity in the region; raw material nature of products of domestic enterprises, which has low competitiveness; difficult economic situation related to the global Covid-19 pandemic, which is accompanied by negative social and economic phenomena, etc. The main directions of intensification of foreign economic activity of the region in the conditions of strengthening of Euro-regional cooperation as one of priority preconditions of active development of innovative enterprises, which determines competitive advantages in the world market of goods and services, are substantiated. The own definition of such concepts as: “Euro-regional cooperation”, “intensification of foreign economic activity in the conditions of Euro-regional cooperation”, “organizational and economic mechanism of activization of foreign economic activity of the region in the conditions of Euro-regional cooperation” is formulated. It is determined that the intensification of foreign economic activity of the region in the field of Euro-regional cooperation allows to achieve stable and balanced development of international cooperation, develop mechanisms to ensure management of the entire system of interregional relations, integrate into the European space, which is especially important for Ukraine. Originality. For the first time, the concept of “intensification of foreign economic activity” in the context of Euro-regional cooperation as a set of organizational, legal and technical measures aimed at integrating the economy of Euro-regional entities into the new world economic space, including deepening international relations with EU countries. At the same time, in contrast to the existing one, the strategic guidelines for intensifying the foreign economic activity of the region in the field of Euro-regional cooperation are grouped in separate areas: organizational and institutional; organizational and legal; organizational, economic and financial. Practical value. The results of the research can be implemented in the activities of local and regional government in terms of intensification of foreign economic activity of the regions and Euro-regional cooperation, which will contribute to the processes of Ukraine's entry into the world economy. Key words: foreign economic activity, Euro-regional cooperation, activation, Euro-region, Euro-regional formation.

The article is based on the idea of forming the conceptual foundations of strategic management of flexible economic development of iron and ore enterprises. It is based on the definition of the optimum size of sales of products on the domestic and foreign markets, taking into account their perspective and ensuring the maximum possible level of profitability of business entities. The article emphasizes that today almost all domestic business entities operate in a crisis or after-crisis syndrome. It is noted that economic crises occur cyclically, but each time the depth of the crisis becomes larger, and the post-crisis period is ever greater. As a result, all enterprises and individuals who are experiencing the consequences of such crises are more and more difficult, and for the post-crisis period, more and more diversified resources are spent that could be directed to projects for their own development. It is determined that the main obstacles of flexible economic development of the enterprise are the high degree of deterioration of fixed assets, low productivity, low quality of personnel, imperfection of the system of pricing on products, low investment activity of enterprises, etc. The key principles of the system of strategic management of flexible economic development of iron and ore enterprises are formed. It is proved that in today's world economy the importance of reformatting the structure and content of the strategic management system with flexible economic development of industrial enterprises and adapting their business directions to the conditions of transformational transformations of modern competitive markets becomes increasingly important. The mathematical model describing the system of division of manufactured products for realization on several markets is developed. It is found out that the classical approach to solving such a task, which is to maximize profits, is not absolutely correct in this case. It is shown that the solution of this task is to maximize the profit from sales with the simultaneous preservation of the minimum allowable volumes of sales of products in promising markets, provided they provide the minimum reasonable profitability. It is noted that in the strategic planning it is necessary to implement a certain part of own products in the markets which are not currently the most profitable, but in the long run may have a decent place among others for the particular enterprise. It is determined that the problem of optimization is to calculate the specific volumes of products that need to be implemented in each of the markets. Taking into account the current transformation of market space and the need for constant adaptation of strategic management methods, the article proposes approaches to the formation of a complex system of strategic management of flexible economic development of iron ore enterprises.

The article states that attracting investments in the financial sector of the economy can lead to a number of consequences: legislative, organizational and institutional, which can lead to socio-economic problems (increase in debt, loss of control over national strategic assets, etc.). Approaches to defining the concepts of «security», «investment security», «mechanism of state security management», «sustainable development» are considered. The definition of security, investment security, state security management mechanism, investment security management mechanism, sustainable development, and investment security management mechanism in the conditions of sustainable development is given. It is determined that the main components of economic security of Ukraine are: macroeconomic, financial, foreign economic, investment, scientific and technological, energy, industrial, demographic, social, food security. It has been proven that investment security is one of the important components of economic security. The main threats that adversely affect the state of investment security in the country are outlined, as well as a number of compliance requirements that will help to minimize the threats. The obligatory structural components are proposed, which should include the state mechanism of providing investment security in the conditions of sustainable development, namely: monitoring as an information and analytical system of monitoring the dynamics of economic and financial security indicators of the country; the activity of the state to prevent threats to investment security and to compensate for the losses incurred due to exceeding the limit values for these or other security indicators; the activity of the state to identify and prevent internal and external threats to the investment security of the economy; activities of the state to prevent negative impact on the environment.

The actual value of the issue in question lies in the new challenges present in the labor market and the transformation of public relations in connection with COVID-19, making it necessary to reconsider the mechanism of employee motivation, i.e. using the latest instruments for the utilization and management of labor resources. We believe that reasonable implementation of effective employee motivation instruments, developed by successful enterprises, will lead to highly productive work of employees at enterprises and increase the efficiency of human resources utilization. The article aims at analyzing the motivational models of the leading countries and to form the principles of implementing their experience in the business practice of Ukrainian enterprises. The research results in identifying popular instruments used abroad, which are most effective in the current situation in Ukraine, namely: motivating employees to innovative activity by evaluating the results obtained; employees involvement in the management, strategic planning and distribution of corporate profits; flexibility and social dimension of salaries and wages; scoring and rating employees’ performance; encouraging competition and teamwork. The principles of introducing an effective employee motivation model based on foreign experience are formed. It is concluded that if Ukrainian enterprises use employees’ motivation instruments that have proved their effectiveness abroad, then, if used systematically and holistically, they will bring economic growth to the enterprises and social development to the country, in general.

The modernization of strategic planning in the Russian economy is caused by the existing situation and problems of public administration in the conditions of the formation and implementation of projects initiated by the government. The main purpose of this article is to demonstrate the need to deal with the issues connected with the emergence of a huge diversity of projects that will provide a clear understanding of the role of strategic mechanisms applied in the territories of the Russian Federation. For the solution of this goal, originally, the genesis of the formation of the national project and program management has been carried out. The contribution of the Soviet school to the development of the state project development as well as studies of the modern stage of strategic planning has been analyzed. The authors suggest a hypothesis that project and program management is a key component of the government policy. The effectiveness of project management can be studied by means of the methods of strategic management. The authors conduct the research on the basis of comparative analysis, normative and expert methods which allow estimating the characteristics of projects and programs on the basis of the portfolio ideology. In addition, the approach to the formation of the economic mechanism of the portfolio to the partnership of project participants and program management on the basis of the interaction of system elements have been proposed. The obtained results of the study of foreign and domestic experience allow us to suggest a classification of social projects and programs within the portfolio partnership of participants and to analyze the current statistics. The results of the study show an increase of quantitative and qualitative components of project and program management practice of strategic changes. The main results prove that over time the strategic change in project activity, contradictions are observed and inconsistencies in state requirements and practices are found that need effective decisions.

Dissertation is devoted to deepening of theoretical and methodical positions and to making analysis of improvement reserves of organizational and economic management providing of the foreign economic activity of agro-industrial formations of Ukraine. Complex analysis of foreign economic of agro-industrial formations management’s gist allows to determine it as an active influence of management apparatus to mutually benefited economic relations with foreign enterprises, which are connected with providing of all kinds of resources, manufacturing and delivery to the customer agro-industrial production with the aim to achieve the desired parameter of AIF activity. Next issues were defined, the gist, kinds, emergence factors and positive and negative integration effects to AIF. It is suggested to understand AIF as a complex of technologically, economically, legally and organizationally connected enterprises and organizations, tat conduct resource supplying, manufacturing, transportation, storage, recycling, marketing and sale of agro industrial production. Accesses were systemized to grouping AIF by different classification features. Dualistic approach to consideration of organizational and economical management providing of FEA AIF was substantiated in static and dynamic concept, its organizational and economical components were identified. With the aim to implement the quantitative assessment of the organizational and economical management providing level of FEA AIF proper index-indicators were suggested. It was proved that the organizational and economical management providing of FEA AIF belongs to latent attribute, for assessment of its level it is the best to use the taxonomic analysis algorithm. Methodological calculation support of the vertical integration AIF level was developed. AIC’s development features research allowed to draw a conclusion about the existence of persistent tendency to ascending by all main indicators. AIC’s part of production in Ukrainian export increased to 30% for last 12 years and now it reaches 50%. Oil and fats production for years of independence increased 4.5 times, that was caused by demand at foreign markets. It was proved that agricultural production growth in Ukraine strongly depends on export, the pair correlation coefficient for analyzed period is 65%, that causes necessity to improve the level of organizational and economical management providing of FEA AIF. As a result of quantitative assessment of some particular index-indicators of organizational and economical management providing of FEA AIF using classical, modified and combined algorithm of taxonomic analysis, it was identified that the highest level of organizational and economical management providing of FEA had Kernel Holding S.A., and the lowest had ADM Ukraine. Improvement reserves of organizational and economical management providing of FEA AIF, which are specialized in oil and fat production, were detected. In consequence of proposed issues implementation concerning to using of detected reserves, the level of organizational and economical management providing of FEA ADM Ukraine can be increased and the enterprise can rise to the second place in the rating, revenue and relative market share will increase by 10%, sales profitability by 1.5% and the income by 7.5 billion hryvnas.

In the context of Ukraine's orientation to the European community, taking an active part in global integration processes and strengthening sustainable socio-economic development, the issue of substantiating the essence, identifying features and factors that affect the sustainable development of regions is extremely important. There is a need to develop a new strategy for the development of the national economy, which would help to improve the quality of the ecosystem and provide society with the necessary amount of all resources. The purpose of the study is to form a set of scientific and methodological provisions for determining the content, concepts, factors and principles of effective management of sustainable development of the regions of Ukraine. The subject of the study are the principles, methods, tools for sustainable development of the regions of Ukraine. The methodology of the study of sustainable development is to form conceptual approaches to justify the importance of raising the sustainable development of regions. Sustainable development means any progressive changes, especially in the economic sphere. The essence of sustainable development is substantiated, which consists in a complex-system approach to the consideration of economic, social and ecological values in the process of functioning of economic systems. From the standpoint of taking into account natural values, economic activity should ensure economic, social and environmental development with minimal destruction of natural and surrounding ecosystems. t is proved that the management of sustainable development of the region is a complex systemic process that is related to the economic, social and environmental aspects of the region. The implementation of the management mechanism of sustainable development of the region is to ensure the balanced development of all areas of its economy on the basis of balanced management of the use of resources to address economic, social and environmental problems.

The research is devoted to scientific and applied aspects of economic security in the global information space of business entities. Modern determinants of economic systems affect the nature of the transformation and direction of changes in digitalized management technologies, the formation of the security system. The authors analyze the approaches to the interpretation of economic security and identify the following approaches: protective, resource-functional, technical-digitalization, subject-object, information, system, economic-legal and strategic. The study formalizes the strategic, effective and resource levels of security of economic systems. Creating the necessary prerequisites for economic security should be based on an effective system of measures with the necessary legal, resource, organizational and informational basis. This, in turn, involves the formation of an optimal system of economic security, which should take into account social and national values, territorial and sectoral specifics, the nature of the communication infrastructure of the global information space. Analysis of the theoretical foundations of systemic management of economic security allowed to determine the following principles: development, adaptability, unity, competence, economic feasibility, efficiency, complexity, legality. Management of economic activity of enterprises in a separate global information space implies the existence of a certain mechanism, the use of which will allow to obtain optimal results of production activities, to provide favorable conditions for this. The authors propose a mechanism to ensure the sustainable development of the economic security of the enterprise in the global information space. This allows at the enterprise level to ensure compliance with the principles and implementation of measures for sustainable development of economic systems in the global information space.

Today, the different speeds of regional development and the preservation of unresolved structural contradictions, which have a pronounced regional dimension, have become one of the main foundations of political reconstruction in the growth of changes to ensure national security. Favorable regional institutional environment creates opportunities for optimal use of resources of the territory, which is the basis for ensuring the proper quality of life of the population of the region, eliminating all possible dangers at all levels. The strategic objectives of regional policy are to increase the competitiveness of regions and strengthen their resource potential, ensure human resources development, development of interregional cooperation, it is clear that under conditions of stable functioning of the security system at the regional level and thus the national system. In addition, the regional policy of the state - targeted actions of the state aimed at balancing the conditions of regions and their results, improving the use of aggregate regional resources and opportunities that can be implemented against the background of comprehensive security actions in all areas, including local levels. The mechanism of implementation of state regional policy, which can be defined as a system of specific state levers and organizational and economic means by which state influence on the spatial organization of society, provides socio-economic development of regions, improves the structure of their economic complex. That recently, due to the crisis situation in the country and military action, the system of state regional policy has paid considerable attention to the system of ensuring the security of the region from possible threats and challenges that may cause national dangers. The main components of the integrated mechanism of state regional policy of Ukraine, as defined by current regulations, are: the relevant legal framework, budget and financial regulation of regional development, forecasting and programming, development of various forms of territorial organization of productive forces. Legislative regulation at the international level of regulatory relations creates favorable conditions for a single legal activity related to national security, which, in turn, includes organizational and communicative tasks in the implementation of domestic and foreign policy at all levels.

Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are increasingly being used in the business world, and this process plays an important role in economic theory and lays the foundations for sustainable business development. The global recovery in foreign direct investment (FDI) was strong in 2015, with global FDI flows jumping by 38%, their highest level since the global economic and financial crisis of 2008–2009. A surge in cross-border M&As to $721 billion, from $432 billion in 2014, was the principal factor behind the global rebound. These M&As were partly driven by very large corporate reconfigurations by multinational enterprises (MNEs), i.e. changes in legal or ownership structures, including shifting their headquarters for strategic reasons and tax inversions. This paper examines the key M&As stimulating strategic objectives and causes, and ways of this process, as well as the cross-border M&As market activity. The objective of this paper is to identify ways, purposes and reasons of M&As transactions, and to present the factors influencing this process and market activity. The object of this research is the M&As transactions market. Research methodology of this paper is based on scientific literature and statistical information systematic, comparative, logical and econometric analysis.
