Effective management of innovative process for the manufacturing of innovative products implies the substantiation of sources, determining the volumes and objects for financing the innovations. As one of the most important elements in managing the investment provision for innovative development is planning the cost and expenditures for innovative products, we consider the chosen direction of present research to be relevant. The aim of present work is a characteristic for the method of determining the volume of investment into innovative products by the type of products and enterprises based on the matrix of innovative potential of the region for formatting of optimal investment portfolio. Here we enumerate the basic types of foresight research into scientific and technological development, which were conducted in Ukraine. The conclusion is drawn that despite the multiple variants for such a development, its directions, along with other factors, are limited by the financial means for producing innovative products whose component is determining the required volumes and objects for investing. We characterized a method for selecting the types of innovative products as an object for investment. In order to choose investment objects, the list of critical technologies and innovative enterprises that have priority for the region is defined; investment risks at various stages of manufacturing innovative products are assessed; discounted income and price of risks are calculated; the problem on optimal allocation of investments by the types of products and enterprises is resolved with regard to the discounted income and price of risks. The novelty of present research is in the algorithmization of selecting the innovative technologies that have priority for investment, based on the matrix of innovative potential of the region. Results of the study might be applied to form an investment portfolio that would contain the most promising innovative technologies from the economic viewpoint. Promising topics for further research is conducting a comparative portfolio analysis of innovative enterprises for various fields of activity based on the proposed algorithm.

Purpose: to scientifically substantiate the factors influencing the quality of receivables management. Design/Method/Research approach: This study uses a systematic approach and methods of synthesis, semantic analysis, historical analysis, analogies, generalization, explanation, classification and graphic are applied. Findings: Management of receivables, which for the seller's company are the debts of buyers - is one of the components of modern relations between enterprises. Limited resources force managers to select tools and sources of financing sales with deferred payment, as well as to analyze the factors that affect the quality of management of such deferred payment. The subsystem of receivables management is presented and analyzed, in which the factors (elements) important for effective management in the enterprise management system are highlighted, which are usually analyzed and corrected during the management of the level of receivables. It is proved that this subsystem needs to be refined taking into account the factors of the macroenvironment. It is emphasized that the factors of influence should be singled out for wholesalers, as in the wholesale chain compared to retail trade, the markup on the value of goods is reduced and it is necessary to financially ensure the sale of goods with deferred payment. Accounts receivable management is considered to be high quality and efficient when, as a result of such management, enterprises become financially stable. The system of factors, where the main role belongs to economic factors, is improved, the approach to their quantitative estimation is offered. Theoretical implications: The theoretical two-level mathematical model of quantitative estimation of factors of influence on quality of management of receivables of the enterprises is offered. Practical implications: The results of the study can be used in the management of receivables of enterprises, the formation of tools for assessing the quality of receivables and identify the main factors influencing the quality of receivables. Originality/Value: The scientific novelty of the research is the content of separate factors of influence on the quality of receivables management is generalized, structured and investigated. Research limitations/Future Research. Prospects for further research is the development of a comprehensive application mechanism for managing receivables, taking into account the factors influencing its quality and industry characteristics of enterprises. Paper type: theoretical.

Research limitations/Future research: These researches are the basis for the subsequent evaluation and prediction of the of the operation efficiency, optimize resource costs of production and commercial activities of business entities, to create a mechanism for sustainable development of businesses. Paper type: theoretical.

The article considers the peculiarities of the formation of regulatory policy in Ukraine in public administration reform. The influence of the experience of economically developed countries and international organizations on the implementation of effective regulatory policy in Ukraine is analyzed. The activities of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which aim to improve the efficiency of public administration in the field of regulatory policy and cooperation of Ukraine with the Organization within the Memorandum of Understanding on deepening cooperation, are studied. The directions for improving the legal regulation of regulatory policy in Ukraine are analyzed. It is substantiated that the national legal doctrine of Ukraine does not have relevant developments that could ensure the unity of approaches to the relationship of regulatory policy, planning, legal forecasting, the formation of legal regulation in the regulation field. This affects the quality of proposed bills in the areas where regulation is still quite difficult for the Ukrainian legal system due to the lack of experience, and extrapolation of European experience is not always productive in terms of underdeveloped infrastructure and other technical and social factors.

The interrelation of an enterprise strategy and the factors of successful implementation of the projects at an enterprise, and primarily, the compatibility of the parameters of projects with an internal environment of an enterprise is a priori necessary. The process of formation of a portfolio of projects is quite complex, so it is advisable to consider general mathematical setting of the problem of formation of a portfolio of projects and to identify the main concepts, within which to carry out the main task of this study. The purpose of the study is to obtain a publicly available algorithm of optimal selection of the projects for the portfolio of an enterprise that will meet its overall development strategy and will not conflict with the set of resources that is already available. In the course of performing the set tasks, we applied scientific methods: comparison, generalization, mathematics and system analysis, mathematical similarities and simulation. The information basis of the study is the authors' designs relating to a portfolio analysis. The status of the tools and mechanisms of strategic management at a production enterprise was analyzed under conditions of competition and an enterprise development. It was revealed that at present there are many methods of selection of projects, but on the one hand, they are all incomplete, on the other, they possess complicated mathematics apparatus that makes it inaccessible for a wide application, which is why obtaining a simple approach is extremely necessary. The algorithm for the analysis of potential projects was proposed with the aim of their selection for the portfolio of an enterprise and further implementation. It was proposed to take into account the available resources of an enterprise and its current strategy. Applying this algorithm provides for the consistent analysis of the projects in order to identify possibilities of their implementation at a specific enterprise, taking into account the state of the enterprise's resources, for the coordination of the plan of implementation of the portfolio of projects with the plans of an enterprise during different levels of planning, for the selection of the most promising projects for implementation in line with the strategy of development. The novelty of the research lies in an attempt to expand the parameters of an enterprise that should be included in the requirements for the selection of projects and will most accurately reflect the original status of the enterprise. On the basis of the proposed algorithm, it is planned in the future to build a mathematical model of formation of a portfolio, which will highlight the main settings needed to conduct a comprehensive analysis and assessment of the portfolio of a company. The parameters were proposed for the strategy of an enterprise, which allow systematically assessing of the possibility of implementation of its portfolio. With the use of the given indicators, we evaluated implementation of the portfolio of projects at the level of planning of functional units.

The article researches ideological principles of conflict regulation, in particular, the conflict in Eastern Ukraine in the context of forming of national-state ideology. This indicates theoretical and practical interest to a certain topic, which gets new sense and sound at each stage of national and state existence. It has been found out that political strategies should enable planning and forecasting political processes, minimize political bias, and meet reform projects. It is noted that the main vector of socio-cultural transformations had been proclaimed to be the posttotalitarian, post-colonial vector that a priori should permanently protect the state from the disadvantages and tragedies of the previous political era. Philosophical reflection is aimed at understanding of one of the most important components of national-state ideologies – a national idea. At present, there is no single national-state ideology in Ukraine, since new forms of understanding of social reality are in the process of formation. Obviously, it will be formed in the context of political forces' struggle and compromising. The crisis of unity in Ukrainian society is interpreted as a factor that does not contribute to the formation and implementation of a rational political strategy of the state. It is concluded that European spirit of Ukraine and national self-esteem should be formed on state level in internal and foreign politics, on theoretical level in the programs of state reforms, in the concepts and programs of education and upbringing, on daily life level in ideological regulations of interpersonal communication rules. It is concluded that there are the following steps towards peace, first, the cessation of hostilities and pressure, second, the establishment of dialogue, and third, the search for a solution to the contradictions through negotiations.

Any branch of law, private or public, has a system of sources of law, which is somewhat standard. This system became "set in stone" for many law systems around the world, starting with Constituion, legal acts of goverment and ending with brief overview of legal traditions in some branches of law. However, this system completely forgets about legal doctrine. But after legislation took over, legal doctrine lost meaning which it had before and was cast aside into shadow of legislation and basic system of sources of law. Furthermore, legal doctrine was an instrument which provided unity for any law system. The idea in its core is simple – greatest and most known legal works of different authors became rulebooks for diffenret branches of law, which were used not only for education, but as a source of law to resolve dispute, when there was missing link in legislation and when judge cannot settle dispute using law of state. This is the case, when doctrine was used as a source of law and a source for regulation. Same can be said about legal doctrine, as core for any law, passed by a parliament. In ideal case, scientists and authors of legal dontrine works should consult lawmakers regarding theoretical and doctrinal basis of any decision or action they are planning to take. So, any legal action will have strong core in it and won't be decided only on experience and opinions of lawmakers, but also with strong theoretical background for such decision. In conclusion, we think that legal doctrine requires further analysis and this topic is very important for legal studies in Ukraine. Core of legal doctrinal works becomes bigger and bigger with increasing number of scholars in this sector of science. From the nature of legal doctrine, it is clear that it can provide better understanding of law and improve connection between scientists and lawmakers. Keywords: source of law, Constitution, natural law, legal system, concept of legal doctrine, system of sources of law.

The article is devoted to the existence and development of domestic sociological science in the Soviet period. The author tries to prove that even during the totalitarian regime sociology tried to develop. Thus, the development of sociological science, which slowed down greatly during the totalitarian regime, intensified in the era of the "thaw", when thousands of scientists in the USSR were attracted in so-called "social forecasting", conducting and implementing a number of research programs of an applied nature by order of the party and state leadership. Thus, in the Ukrainian SSR a process of revival and formation of sociological science began in the 50-60's of the twentieth century, albeit rather slowly and in the form of irregular research. The article argues that the mentioned revival became possible due to a number of objective factors: the liberalization of the political system associated with economic reform and the urgent need for practical social knowledge. During this period Ukrainian sociology had only a regional status, which on the one hand did not provide such broad opportunities as the "central" Russian science, and on the other hand, it contributed to specific differences and a certain freedom and creativity. But such an imbalance also brought some benefits, since remoted from the center academic institutions were freer in choosing areas of pedagogical and sociological work, therefore they were more likely to gain experience in creating various specialized training in this scientific field and thematic sociological research. The article also analyzes the fact that, taking into account the ideological postulates, sociology in the USSR has always been considered a science that deals primarily with social relations in the field of production. That is, it was assigned the role of scientific substantiation and development of long-term social policy and ways of its implementation in the form of " plans of social development ". Thus, the renewal of sociology in Ukraine was determined by the practice of economic and social planning in particular, and the entire period of the 60's - early 70's in Ukrainian sociology was held under the auspices of industrial sociology.

The article presents the results of a study of scientific, educational and ascetic activities of one of the brightest representatives of the modern Ukrainian diaspora in Russia - Tetiana Lebedynska, a daughter of Ukrainian writer Mykola Shpak. T.M. Lebedynska is PhD in Philosophy, translator, writer, member of the Ukrainian Union of Writers, author of exhibitions dedicated to Ukrainian St. Petersburg, holder of the Order of Princess Olga III degree.
The multifaceted scientific and educational activity of Tetiana Mykolajivna is considered. It is emphasized that she initiated and organized the International Scientific Seminar «St. Petersburg – Ukraine», which resulted in the publication of twenty collections of articles from 2000 to 2020. T.M. Lebedynska is the author of more than 200 scientific works, including unique publications: «Shevchenko's places of St. Petersburg», «St. Petersburg and Ukraine», «M.P. Hrebinka - town-planning of St. Petersburg», «Ukrainian necropolis of St. Petersburg», «I. Mazepa - Commander of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called», dictionary»Outstanding figures of science and culture of Russia who came from Ukraine», etc.. T.M. Lebedynska was published in Western Europe, the United States, and Arab countries.
It is noted that the heroine of our intelligence pays most attention to the study of the life and work of the Great Kobzar, who had many life events in St. Petersburg: here he studied and worked, gained freedom and communicated with many prominent cultural figures, wrote poems and paintings and became an academician of arts. It was Tetiana Mykolajivna who was one of the initiators of the installation in St. Petersburg of the monument to Taras Shevchenko by Canadian sculptor Leo Mol (Leonid Molodozhanin), she collected signatures against the relocation of the site from the city center near the university to the outskirts, also she initiated and participated in the installation of a memorial to Kobzar at the Smolensk cemetery. Among other things Tetiana Lebedynska"s ascetic activity is represented, by a study of the Ukrainian necropolis of St. Petersburg, as most graves and tombstones are in a state of destruction and may disappear for the future without restoration. And with them the memory of our compatriots who found eternal peace in the land of North Palmira will be destroyed.
The article states that today, when Crimea is annexed and the Russian occupation of Donbass continues, it is very important to study the experience of our contemporaries - Ukrainians in Russia, who do not lose their identity in conditions of strong informational, ideological and linguistic pressure.

In the article the authors cover a theoretical analysis of scientific literature on the problems of using fundraising as a technology of social work in modern Ukraine. Non-profit organizations act as social intermediaries-implementers of social ideas and programs. They operate between the state, commercial firms and citizens. It is important to develop a comprehensive economy and the state, both for business and society.

Fundraising area is a new field of activity for our country. For attraction of resources of sponsors and donors, there are first-rate specialists who are able to replenish the budget of public organizations. The introduction and use of fundraising technology will expand the financial capabilities of social institutions and, consequently, increase the efficiency of their functioning. The dynamics of fundraising development in Ukraine is fast and efficient. An important factor in accelerating this process is the highly skilled training of specialists in this field of activity, which will have the appropriate knowledge, skills, skills and competencies.

Fundraising is an almost new area of activity for our country. It has been developed in the US and Europe, where a diverse system of benefits and incentives has been developed for depositors in the social sphere, business entities, foundations or individuals. Free Western Market Traditions Encourage Philanthropy. The social sphere in Ukraine, like no other, needs organized financing from extrabudgetary funds. For a clearer and more professional organization of recruiting sponsors and donors, there are first-rate professionals who can replenish the budget of NGOs.

In a market economy, civil society and social initiatives, philanthropy has become a major boon in the form of patronage, sponsorship and support through the provision of grants, donations, material, information resources and more. The proliferation of charity and its form of organized activity has led to the emergence of fundraising, as a science of planning and streamlining actions that will help organized actions for patrons and beneficiaries.

Today, fundraising is not sufficiently developed in our country, but in spite of this it has certain prospects. Due to the growing role of civil society organizations, which are able to help the state in solving social problems, it contributes to the development of fundraising in Ukraine.

Today the dynamics of fundraising development in Ukraine is noticeably fast and effective. An important factor in the acceleration of this process is the highly qualified training of specialists in this field of activity, who will have the appropriate knowledge, skills.

Dynamic growth of tourism business requires creation of new project attractive packages of services with corresponding quality and quantity. Expedient and relevant issue is the design and implementation of efficient and successful projects of socio-economic and innovative character in tourism, which need special methodology. The purpose of writing this article is to develop theoretical and methodological foundations of project management in tourist business. We applied general scientific and special research methods: analysis, synthesis, comparative characteristics, theoretical generalization, project approach. It was determined that the methodology of project management in tourism must take into account the main trends in the development of world tourism and local project view, aimed at cooperation and integration of local, regional and global tourist projects in accordance with the forecast of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). It was shown that in the project management they distinguish 9 functional branches, the main of which are the management of the subject area of the project (the contents), management of quality, time, cost, and additional - management of staff, communications, contracts, risks and integration of projects. The basis of the methodology of project management in tourism is the analysis of the needs of tourists in the target market and capabilities of tourist operator to satisfy them by using methods of observation, comparison, intuition, logic, applying the tools of marketing management. It was concluded that the methodology of project management implies consistent and interconnected implementation of the functions of management of tourism activity by the use of methods, tools, techniques and methodology of research in tourism. Management of tourism projects requires taking into account the features of tourist services with regular fluctuations in demand, changes in space and time, inseparability from the source (destination) and the impossibility to store. The scientific novelty of the research is in determining the methodology of project management in tourism, which covers integrated system of functions, methods, means and tools of planning and fulfillment of projects, taking into account the priorities of the development of tourism and resource and service facilities of enterprises in tourism industry, aimed at identifying future needs of tourists during their trip even before the completion of the project. The practical significance of obtained results is to apply the features of the methodology of project management in tourism business to obtain socio-economic synergy that will manifest itself in successful completion of the project, increasing the competitiveness of a destination, where the results of tourism project are implemented. Further research might be promising in the direction of modeling the development of tourist industry in Ukraine, taking into account the features of the methodology of project management in tourism business.

The purpose of the study is to determine the level of readiness of social workers to teach digital technologies to the elderly in universities of the third age, which operate based on territorial centres of social services. The study was conducted in the Poltava region from June 2020 - October 2020. The sample was social workers who provide educational services to students of the University of the Third Age. The total number of respondents was 73 people.The digital literacy analysis of social workers providing geronto-education services was conducted according to five main parameters: information literacy, computer literacy, communication and media literacy, and technology literacy.The results of the digital literacy assessment show that two-thirds of social worker-teachers have enough knowledge, skills and follow the right attitudes. At the same time, digital skills received an average of 3.2 points (3.4 urban and 3.0 rural) out of 5 possible. The majority of social workers (66 people, 90%) have been actively using digital technologies in the geronto-educational process of the Third Age University for less than ten years.The study found out that 96% of social workers-gerorogists desire to move to online learning in the current situation, of which 78% expressed a desire to undergo professional retraining in online learning.As the main obstacles to mastering and developing gerorogical technologies-innovations, social workers named: insufficient awareness of digital innovations, lack of scientific and methodological literature on social technologies for teaching elderly people; lack of logistics for the application of gerorogical digital innovations; lack of material incentives.The results of the study indicate the need to develop social workers-gerorogists: knowledge in the field of modern computer technology and software, as well as the principles of their work; skills of using modern technologies (gadgets and applications); installations in the field of verification of information from the Internet and mass media; attitudes about the benefits of modern gadgets for the daily life of a professional.

The article is devoted to a topical issue of the influence of innovations on the process of resource saving and increase of efficiency of functioning of enterprises. Resource saving is a necessary condition for effective functioning of an enterprise that contributes to the solution of the problem of the growing demand of manufacturing in resources mainly due to savings and provides for decrease in the resource intensity of the products, and as a result, increases production efficiency through their most efficient use. Steady growth of production in the long term depends not so much on resource opportunities, but on the innovation activity of enterprises. The purpose of writing this article is the assessment of innovation activity of industrial enterprises on the process of resource saving, identification of the patterns and quality parameters of their interconnection by the methods of correlation-regression analysis. For the study and evaluation of the impact of innovation on the consumption of resources in the production process, we proposed scientific methodological approach, based on economic-mathematical simulation of the interaction between innovation and production processes and determining of the results of this relationship in resource saving. The application of this approach to the analysis and evaluation of innovation activities allowed supplementing the classification of factors of resource saving, which unlike the existing classification includes such features as the costs in the direction of innovation activity, namely: the level of general costs for innovation activity; the level of innovation spending on the introduction of new machinery, equipment, installations, other types of main production funds; the level of innovation spending on the introduction of new technologies; the level of spending on research and development. Based on this, we developed a scorecard, which consists of the indicators of resource intensity and efficiency of production, as well as the level of spending on innovation for identification and explanation of the patterns of interaction between the target economic indicators and the studied factors by economic-mathematical modeling and creation of management tool for innovation activity at resource saving at a machine-building enterprise. The proposed algorithm of activities provides the most efficient and economical use of resources and includes the simulation of interaction between innovation and production activity, assessment of the impact of implemented innovations on the production process, forecasting indicators of these processes. Its application allows planning the volume of investments by specific directions of innovation activity and the proper level of resource saving. The key factors of innovation activity were established that influence the efficiency of resource saving, the pattern of their influence on the process of production was defined, the estimation and prediction of economic indicators of functioning businesses were carried out, by which one can plan their value and, consequently, the results of an entity's performance. In addition, categorical apparatus of the theory of management of innovations regarding determining such concepts as "innovation development" and "resource saving" acquired further development.
