The relevance of the topic. Automation of business processes of modern companies is aimed at ensuring that digital technologies perform certain tasks, usually implemented by a person. Thus, it is designed to simplify everyday work, saving people from simple and repetitive tasks that machines are capable of performing. Currently, in business management, it is possible to automate a significant part of the tasks, from posting on social networks to managing procurement procedures and scheduling meetings. Most existing jobs are forced to change under the influence of technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotization. This means that machines will replace a significant number of jobs. At the same time, they will also contribute to the emergence of new professions. In the context of the ongoing digital transformation of the economy, the appeal to the problem of automation of production and its impact on the structure of employment in modern socio-economic systems becomes particularly relevant. Goal. Study of the phenomenon of automation of modern business processes and analysis of the impact of these processes on the structure of employment. Methodology. In the process of developing research problems, we have systematic and situational approaches. The main methods of research were abstract-logical, monographic, economic-statistical, logical techniques of deduction and induction, analysis and synthesis, and others. Results and conclusions. Automation of business processes of modern companies is aimed at ensuring that digital technologies perform certain tasks, usually implemented by a person. Most often, we are talking about repeated operations with little added value, the execution of which requires significant time. Currently, in business management, it is possible to automate a significant part of the tasks, from posting on social networks to managing procurement procedures and scheduling meetings. The impact of new technologies on the labor market is analyzed primarily in terms of creating or reducing jobs. According to the World Economic Forum, by 2025, automation of production will create at least 12 million more jobs than will be lost. This means that over the long term, automation will have a clear positive impact on public development. This conclusion has already been confirmed during the industrial revolution. In particular, in the United States between 1830 and 1900, the period of mass automation, the number of jobs in the textile industry quadrupled. Scope of application.

The relevance of the topic. The increasing shortage of labor in the Russian labor market, occurring against the background of a reduction in labor resources and in the absence of internal sources of replenishment, necessitates the involvement of external labor migrants. There is a need to transform migration flows, primarily by reducing the volume of low-skilled labor. But the solution to this problem should be based on improving the quality of forecasting the prospective need for personnel in the context of industries and territories, as well as qualification groups. It is necessary to develop a methodologically sound approach to determining the contribution of external labor migration to the socio-economic development of the Russian Federation as a whole and its individual subjects. In modern conditions, under the influence of a number of objective and subjective factors, the volume and directions of external labor migration have changed significantly, which necessitates a change in a number of approaches to labor market regulation. The article is devoted to the study of the prospects and risks of attracting external labor migrants to mitigate the personnel shortage in the Russian economy. The development and implementation of the proposed tools are possible based on the results of a comprehensive all-Russian study, which ideally should become a monitoring study. In addition, it requires a systematic solution to the problem of adaptation of foreign workers, which goes beyond labor migration. Goal. Substantiation of the need to clarify the scale of external labor migration, adjust and update the methodology of its statistical accounting to determine measures for effective labor market management. Methodology. A comprehensive study of the problems of external labor migration is possible based on the application of the methodology of interdisciplinary analysis. The use of principles and methods of such sciences as statistics, demography, economics, sociology, and law allowed us to identify the most significant issues: the accuracy and efficiency of migration accounting, the volume of shadow employment of foreigners in the territory of the Russian Federation, and the assessment of the effectiveness and economic feasibility of using the labor of foreign migrants. The methodology of quantitative and qualitative analysis was used to study them. The empirical base of the study was made up of data from the Federal State Statistics Service, publications in the media, and the results of sociological research. Results and conclusions. The author's position on the need to use the labor of external migrant workers is substantiated, which, along with increasing labor productivity, modernizing the personnel training system and other measures, will solve the problem of replenishing Russia's labor resources, mitigate the personnel hunger of the Russian economy. Significant amounts of shadow employment of foreign migrants have been proven. The necessity of changing the structure of flows of foreign labor migrants is argued. The results of the study confirm the urgent need to adjust migration policy and reform migration legislation. The scope of application. The results obtained are of interest to specialists in the field of labor market management, as well as those involved in the regulation of external labor migration.

The relevance of the topic. The importance of analyzing the organizational and economic relations arising in the process of transformation of supply chains and bilateral economic ties in the context of sanctions. A study of the transformation of priorities for the strategic development of territories due to sanctions restrictions. Goal. The purpose of the work is to identify trends in regional development in the context of international sanctions. Methodology. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was made up of general scientific methods of cognition, as well as publications by domestic and foreign scientists devoted to the problems of socio-economic development in conditions of instability of external economic conditions. Results and conclusions. Despite the unprecedented sanctions restrictions and prohibitions that Russia has been experiencing since the beginning of its war, export-import relations, of course, have not stopped, but have gradually been reformatted. These circumstances initiated the process of transformation of supply chains and bilateral economic ties. New formats of interaction have emerged, in particular, parallel imports, and there has also been a reorientation of foreign trade relations, mainly to the East. The conducted research indicates that, despite the aggressive sanctions policy manifested by unfriendly states, Russia has not lost its significant position in the foreign political and trade arena. By actively moving towards preserving its independence, self-identity, and territorial integrity, Russia is strengthening its position as one of the leading powers in the formation of a multipolar world. The most important direction of the development of Russian regions is the improvement of information and digital technologies. The reorientation to its own high-tech production will eventually replace imported analogues and create new export directions for Russia. The scope of application. The results of the study can be used in the process of developing and implementing regional development strategies.

The method of analogies, methods of analysis and synthesis, empirical generalization, monographic method, historical and logical approach, graphical method, behavioral and dialectical approaches, structural analysis, systematic approach. Results and conclusions. In conditions of socio-economic volatility, geopolitical explosiveness, resource scarcity and chronic fatigue from the race of normative documentation that does not contain answers to the question «what to do?», innovatively active actors capable of acting as providers of innovative development find themselves alone with their fears, problems, uncertainty and unwillingness to resist the hail of external irritations, feeling the need for integration interaction as a mechanism for coordinating their interests. Natural instincts, the most important of which is self-preservation, encourage them to function, even with less efficiency than their existing potential allows. In addition, the external environment itself, developing cyclically, but evolving at the same time, creates prerequisites for innovative development. The authors of the article attempt to discover a window of opportunity in the behavior of participants in the innovation system, taking into account the barriers and cycles that determine the possibilities of their functioning, to identify prospects for coordinating the interests of all participants in the innovation system, taking into account the barriers found in order to coordinate their activities in the interests of innovative development. The scope of application. Management of economic systems of any complexity interested in innovative development; management of innovative development; management of innovative ecosystems, taking into account the interests of their participants in the direction of overcoming barriers to innovative development.

Relevance of the topic. In a dynamically changing economy, project activities are an important area of development for any enterprise seeking to increase its competitiveness. Modern projects, as a rule, have a complex and branched structure, which is a set of work (tasks, subprojects) performed sequentially or in parallel. Managing such projects in an unstable and changing market situation is quite a difficult task. Target. Development of a genetic algorithm for redistributing labor resources between individual works and attracting subcontracting resources to optimize the current project schedule. Methodology. The study was carried out based on mathematical modeling methods. Results and conclusions. Software developed on the basis of a genetic algorithm for redistributing labor resources between individual works and attracting subcontracted resources allows you to automate the process of redistributing your own and subcontracted resources to minimize additional costs for project implementation. Application area. The scope of development of the enterprise's project activities. Key words: project, network graph, control points, critical path, project deadline, deviation management, genetic algorithms.

The relevance of the topic. Considering that the potential of the holding model of agro-industrial integration is almost exhausted, it becomes urgent to search for a new model for organizing integration interactions in order to transfer the agri-food complex to a qualitatively new level of development. Goal. Study of development models of the agri-food complex and determination of a promising form of agro-industrial integration. Methodology. Systematic approach to the subject area being studied, dialectical, abstract-logical and monographic methods of economic research. Results and conclusions. Provisions are substantiated that reflect the conditions for the transition to a cluster model of organizing a system of integration interactions in the agri-food complex, the main of which are: the presence of a stable set of interacting entities and the preservation of their economic independence; allocation of one main product line and additional industries; ensuring explicit localization of the economic space of the cluster; creation of a mechanism for consolidating the interests of entities competing with each other; achieving a certain level of development of public-private partnerships; the presence of mechanisms that ensure flexibility in the system of intersubjective interactions; ensuring a balance of economic interests of subjects involved in the system of integration interactions; the formation of economic clusters is carried out in the course of the natural evolution of the system of integration interactions. Scope of application. Practice of integration interactions in the agricultural sector.
