The article presents the results of a study of the development of entrepreneurship within the boundaries of the territorial division of the Siberian Federal District. Based on the analysis of the use of natural and cost indicators, the hypothesis of low entrepreneurial activity in regions with social and economic problems is substantiated. The territorial differences in the regions of the Siberian Federal District, differences in the conditions of attraction of labor and economic resources create different conditions for the development of entrepreneurial initiatives. The administrative barriers and crisis phenomena lead to stagnation of entrepreneurial initiatives, condemning the prospects for rapid growth of small and medium-sized businesses in a number of the studied regions to failure. Local studies of the subjects of the Siberian Federal District have revealed regions with a low contribution of entrepreneurship to the gross regional product. The hypothesis of low interest of citizens in transferring the shadow status of a business to the official one in the absence of direct benefits is confirmed. Sociological studies of entrepreneurs of the Republic of Tyva brought to the fore issues of financial assistance, subsidizing the costs of renting and purchasing equipment, problems of low competence in the field of registration of special documents for applying to public authorities.

According to the concept of management by competencies, the competitiveness of managerial activity is considered as a component of two areas: “competences in the field of business management” (production competence (KUD) and “competences in the field of people management” (social competence (CLE), They are in systemic interdependence and contribute the necessary contribution to the achievement of the overall competitiveness of the leader. In practical terms, to calculate the competitiveness index, a methodology has been selected that determines the required competency indicators, and the calculation formula for competitiveness. The graphical representation of competency indicators in the work is called the individual competence model of the manager. The proposed model allows (1) to analyze the social and production competencies of each manager and their contribution to his overall competitiveness; (2) to develop individual programs for the leader's own development (self-management). In order to identify the problems associated with the development of managerial competencies of a manager, in accordance with the “Concept of System Technology”, the article proposes a technological algorithm for the development and improvement of managerial competencies, including the following four phases (analytical-synthetic, research-analytical, interpretive, practical-recommendatory. The implementation of the technological algorithm in other organizations can be used to identify "weak" links in the system of managerial competencies and, on this basis, develop proposals for the targeted formation of the competitiveness of managerial personnel.

Although the relationship between entrepreneurship and firm performance has received considerable attention in the organisational literature over the last several decades, little has been done concerning cocoa farmers’ entrepreneurial proclivity and livelihoods worldwide. The study’s main objective was to determine the association between entrepreneurial proclivity and livelihood performance of the cocoa farmers with a strong focus on the three sub-dimensions of entrepreneurial proclivity; risk-taking, innovativeness, and proactiveness. The study considered all the six Cocoa Regions in Ghana. A simple random sampling method was used to select a sample size of 600 cocoa farmers in Ghana. A structured questionnaire was used in collecting data for the study. The data collected was subjected to inferential analysis using the chi-square test of independence and linear regression to establish association and causality between the study’s variables. From the results obtained, there is sufficient evidence to conclude a statistically significant association between entrepreneurial proclivity (proactiveness, risk-taking and innovativeness) and livelihood performance (human capital, social capital, financial capital, physical capital and natural capital of cocoa farmers). However, risk-taking had a negative relationship; thus, as it increases, livelihood performance decreases, and vice versa. Given the poverty level among cocoa farmers in Ghana, the study recommends that entrepreneurial activities among cocoa farmers must be seriously encouraged to improve and sustain their livelihoods.

This paper presents a quarterly structural macroeconomic model for the Republic of Moldova, which is known as the macroeconomic data model (MDM). This model can be used to assess economic conditions in the Republic of Moldova, forecast the macro economy, analyze policy options, and deepen our understanding of the functioning of a market economy. Some of the key features of the model are highlighted. First, the report looks at the Moldovan economy as a whole and finds that it is a small and open economy. Second, the model is small enough to be manageable for forecasting and simulation exercises, but still has enough detail for most purposes. Third, the model is designed to have a stable equilibrium over a long period of time, in accordance with classical economic theory, while its short-run dynamics are demand-driven. Fourth, the current version of MDM is mostly backward-looking, i.e. Expectations are influenced by the inclusion of lagged variables. The MDM uses a quarterly frequency data set, which allows for a more detailed analysis of the dynamics. The data is mostly estimated based on historical information. The paper includes stochastic long-run simulation results. The relationship between inflation, interest rates, unemployment and economic growth is important.

Sport has a significant impact on the physical and spiritual development of the individual, which subsequently ensures the formation of the physical and spiritual and moral culture of the whole society. Besides this, the sport forms a patriotic consciousness. The article considers the issues of the influence of physical culture and sports on the patriotic education of the individual. The factors contributing to the effective functioning of this sphere are identified. It is established that one of the decisive success factors is the quality of sports services. The principles that should guide the development of a policy in the field of quality assurance are formulated. The factors that lead to a decrease in the quality of services in the field of physical culture and sports are studied, as well as possible ways to minimize their negative impact are proposed. At the same time, solving the problem requires an integrated approach, in which coordinated work will be carried out at the national, regional and organizational levels. It is concluded that physical culture and sports help the state to implement socio-economic goals, implement the strategy of national policy based on patriotism, acting as an effective and least costly tool, therefore it is necessary to understand that the funds invested in ensuring the proper level of quality will act as long-term investments in human capital.
