The findings of this research allow to assume that after lockdown it might be worth reconsidering the format of learning for Master’s Degree Programs and shift from conventional face-to-face learning to blended or even distance learning.

Meeting the information needs of agribusiness stakeholders based on the implementation of the principles of sustainable development in practice requires appropriate information and analytical support, which is provided by corporate non-financial reporting of economic entities. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the methodological foundations of the construction of the corporate architecture of sustainable management reporting of Ukrainian agricultural companies and to assess the degree of influence of such reporting on the value of agrarian business. The assessment of the degree of influence of corporate reporting of sustainable agricultural management on the financial results and value of agribusiness showed the existence of a close direct connection between agricultural holdings and uncertainty in small agricultural companies. The main problem was identified as the low motivation of the management of medium and small agricultural companies in Ukraine to participate in sustainable development programs. The proposal for the formation of non-financial reporting of an agricultural enterprise has been made, which will help to reveal important information to investors, increase the level of transparency of enterprises and serve as an additional source of forming a positive reputation in the global economic system.

Purpose – Hypothesis verification and quantification of the relationship between drivers and the resulting factors for a lasting impact on the long-term ICT development, globalization, structural changes in the geo-economy and changes in socio-ethical standards in society in the frontier financial markets. Research methodology – Based on open source information, a database of almost 19,000 data was formed - 748 obser-vations by country on 25 indicators. The simulation was performed on the basis of a mixed-model, which is a statistical model that is an extended version of the General Linear Model (GLM), using SAS / STAT® 13.1 software. Findings – Based on the Solution for Fixed Effects and Solution for Random Effects and the test of fixed effects, glo-balization, economic dominance, economic growth and human development were identified as statistically significant patterns of transformation of frontier financial markets. Research limitations – The paper does not attempt a comprehensive coverage of the topic. However, it identifies main drivers of the development of frontier financial markets and makes calls for further research. Practical implications – The findings are likely to be useful for practitioners and researchers to gain knowledge about the main drivers of the frontier financial markets development. Originality/Value – The application of the technique of multidimensional ranking of drivers has identified globalization, geoeconomic changes and human development as the most influential drivers for the development of frontier financial markets.

Long-lasting pandemic uncovered the new challenge of tertiary education: how to ensure the high quality of durable emergency distance learning and enable the students to master the necessary competences. The objective of this research was to test the application of the bottom-up approach to quality assurance when students, as stakeholders, are enabled to influence content and context of their learning through regular surveys. Current research represents the comparative analysis of two surveys, conducted at the end of spring semester of 2019-2020 academic year (593 respondents), and at the end of autumn semester of 2020-2021 academic year (1193 respondents) among the students of the Faculty of Economics of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, outlining the problems students faced while the emergency remote learning was conducted during the first lockdown and measuring how these problems were fixed during the second shutdown bearing in mind the results of the first survey. The methodology combined quantitative and qualitative research methods. The current research covers the study of the methods of teaching, the level of communication between learners and educators, the level of practical skills acquisition, engagement of students in the learning process during two semesters. Also it analyses the measures undertaken by the teachers and faculty management to achieve improvement in learners’ feedback during the second survey that can be considered as best practices.
