The purpose of writing the article is presenting the results of the study of theoretical and methodological aspects of the development of the stages of strategy of sustainable development of an industrial enterprise and determining main directions of this development. The research was performed using the methods of synthesis and analysis, deduction and induction. The essence of the concept of strategy of sustainable development of an enterprise and its components was revealed. The strategy for sustainable development is proposed to be considered in two aspects: economic and social. It was established that an enterprise enters new levels of competitive management and the operational effect of synergy occurs. It was proven that the formation of development of an enterprise should be based on synergetic harmony with the terms and objectives of the enterprise as a whole and with each functional unit. Main stages of formation and implementation of the strategy of sustainable development of an industrial enterprise were characterized. The paper considered the specificity of defining strategic position, formulating an enterprise development strategy, identifying opportunities and peculiarities of application of an express test for the actual financial state, allowing detecting signs of imbalance at the enterprise without significant calculations for the diagnosis of the actual financial status. In order to ensure prompt and unbiased testing of the actual financial state, it is advisable to restore the practice of social certification in the industry. It was proven that an important aspect in the formation and implementation of balanced development strategy is the development of the concept of sustainable strategic management of industrial enterprises. The concept allows establishing methodological bases of management principles and methodological bases of management technologies and tools for individual companies. It was established that the strategy of sustainable development of industrial enterprises should be based on a long–term program of sustainable development, which is a strategic document that contains a number of steps, coordinated in space and time, to engage resources. It was proven that the implementation of a balanced strategy of development involves purposeful improvement of economic, organizational, technical, technological, production, market, social, administrative, environmental and other components of the system. Transformations that occur in the course of implementing the strategy under the influence of external factors acquire new quality, both economic efficiency and competitiveness of the enterprise in the market increase. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the development of the concept of strategic management of the balanced development of an industrial enterprise based on purposeful improvement of economic, organizational, technical, technological, production, market, social, administrative, environmental and other components of the system, which collectively provide a synergistic effect. The practical significance of the work is in the possibility to form and implement a strategy of sustainable development of an industrial enterprise as an efficient system of management, which will provide for a timely forecasting of purposeful and gradual improvement of economic, organizational, technical and technological, production, social, administrative, market, environmental and other components of this system, which will acquire new qualities during the process of implementation of the novelties.

This paper uses a rich panel dataset of Spanish manufacturing firms (1990–2006) and a propensity score reweighting estimator to show that multinational firms acquire the most productive domestic firms, which, on acquisition, conduct more product and process innovation (simultaneously adopting new machines and organizational practices) and adopt foreign technologies, leading to higher productivity. We propose a model of endogenous selection and innovation in heterogeneous firms that explains both the observed selection patterns and the innovation decisions. Further, we show in the data that innovation upon acquisition is associated with the increased market scale provided by the parent firm.

The relevance of the study lies in the need to study the current migration situation in the Russian Federation from the CIS countries in order to develop recommendations for more effective regulation of migration flows, since for Russia this is a matter of the country's economic security.The purpose is to analyze the dynamics and forecast of migration trends in the CIS on the basis of statistical data and to identify the directions of migration policy of the Russian Federation and the CIS countries for the regulation of these processes.Objectives: to analyze the current and forecasted trends of migration flows to the Russian Federation from the CIS countries, taking into account the annexed regions; identify areas of migration regulation in order to ensure the country's security.Methodology. The methodological basis of the study is the theory of Theodore Anderson. The results of the analysis of statistical data are presented using the methods of systematization and the illustrative-graphic method.Results. Migration policy in the CIS countries is implemented taking into account the peculiarities of the state. The problem of regulating migration flows lies in the vast border with Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Ukraine. After the annexation of Luhansk, Donetsk, part of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, the nature of migration flows has changed, residents are citizens of the Russian Federation. Belarus and Kazakhstan are subject to a simplified option of employment on the territory of the Russian Federation as members of the EAEU.Conclusions. The analysis confirmed the need to continue joint work and exchange of effective practices in control, regulation and counteraction to illegal migrants.

Full details of this licence are available at: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ ; The subject matter of design is the one that concerns itself with change and alternative resolutions (Buchanan, 1995). Increasingly design problems are issue-led with an emerging metaissue of sustainable development (SD) (Fuad-Luke, 2009). This paper discusses the issue of SD in the context of public services in the UK as an opportunity for design. As there is a great diversity in the context, organizational complexity, design and delivery of public services, the focus is on the UK primary education. UNESCO (2009) identified education to be critical in promoting SD and for schools to become 'centres of expertise and innovation' in the area. A non mandatory goal from the government and the lack of clarity in definition of SD (Bourn, 2005) leaves schools without strategic incentive for change. The preliminary findings from the interviews of six case studies presented in this paper will seek to explore and identify characteristics and current approaches to SD in the UK schools. The findings will become a foundation for discussion of the role of design within this new context.
