Indicators of the central government budgets were analysed in the article with use of calculation of shares of various categories and subcategories of revenues for the purpose of identification of structural features and the directions of structural transformation of budgetary revenue at central level of public administration in the federal countries from 2000 till 2015. The similarity and distinction of structures were revealed during the cluster hierarchical analysis and calculation of the Ryabtsev index. It is proved that there is no unambiguous interrelation between federal type of governance and sources of revenue of central budget. It was also revealed that budgetary revenues in the developed federal states were stabler whereas the most essential structural changes were noted in the countries with emerging economy, and the common phenomenon was distribution of receipts from taxes on income and profit and also taxes on internal operations with goods and services between budgets of various levels and also fixing taxes on the international operations to the central budget. It is found that significantly the tendency to changing in level of fiscal decentralization in federal states is not observed, except for the Russian Federation, in which financial autonomy of regions and local authorities testifies more likely about financial (so -and administrative) centralization. Keywords IntroductionThe choice of rational quantitative parameters and qualitative characteristics of the budgetary policy is one of the major government decisions which define the prospects of development of national economies in the long term. The volume of revenues to budgets of various levels as well as financial capacities of governments in the solution of tasks of public administration and ensuring countrie's financial sovereignty depend on revenue structure, types and rates of taxes, an order of tax base calculation, income from state ownership and providing administrative services etc. On the other hand, the level of a tax burden, model of financial behavior, comparative effectiveness of state and municipal property management, an order of distribution of tax and non-tax revenue between budgets of various levels influence health of economic climate, sharpness of political conflicts within the country between the center and territories, define degree of political responsibility of the power to electorate and conscientiousness of tax and budgetary discipline.The fundamental and complex problematic character of groundation of rational combination of the principles and the purposes, requirements and opportunities, level of fiscal decentralization and neccessity of strengthening control for accumulation and use of financial resources forces both the academic and bureaucratic elite to look for the decision in historical experience and to pay attention to other states' success stories. The specified circumstances encourage drawing closer attention to realization of various national approaches to creation of the budgetary system, fi...

Competitiveness should be understood as the ability of an individual entity to function successfully in a competitive environment, having an absolute or relative advantage over the “main players” – key competitors in the market. It is determined that the competitiveness of products is associated with the appropriate level of its quality, which is better than analogues to meet the needs of consumers. Another component is the cost of products, the nature of which is more variable compared to quality, which explains the formation of quality throughout the production cycle under the influence of mostly objective factors. The cost of production, which consists of cost and profit, has a higher level of variability due to the dependence of the level of profit on the state of market demand. In terms of profit, the competitiveness of products is closely linked to the success of the enterprise, its stability and development potential. Another aspect of product competitiveness is considered market parameters. Thus, “hard” and “soft” factors of product competitiveness were distinguished, where the first group is represented by the quality and cost of production, and the second – profit and marketing. The analysis of the existing criteria of competitiveness of goods allowed to add to the identified factors the following: social targeting, consumer novelty, informativeness, reliability, safety for consumers and the environment, product image. Features of ensuring the competitiveness of products in the agricultural sector are considered. The dependence of agricultural specialization on the location determines the critical dependence of product quality on the resource potential, which requires preservation and reproduction. This necessitates the inclusion of environmentally responsible components of responsible land use in the ways of ensuring the competitiveness of products. It is determined that the most difficult factor in managing the competitiveness of agricultural products is the price due to the peak load in the collection of crops and the need for significant storage reserves for storage of products for a long time. Ways to manage this factor are proposed to consider the development of commodity exchanges, the use of financial instruments, risk insurance. Horizontal integration for small farms and vertical integration for agricultural enterprises are recognized as additional ways to ensure the competitiveness of agricultural products.

The article explores the actual problem of the development of a new architectonics of the world economy and the world community, the problem of theoretical, methodological, paradigmatic changes in the system of managing these processes at the micro and macro levels. The aim of the article is a comprehensive study of modern strategic management from the standpoint of the political and economic orientation of its functions, which allows us to redefine the role of strategic management in managing the future of specific objects in a new reality that is born as a result of the rapid integration of artificial intelligence into production and management processes and in resolving contradictions of object management on the platform of the globalized digital economy. The use of philosophical, institutional, systemic, civilization, and interdisciplinary approaches to the analysis of the socio-economic nature of modern strategic management and its functions made it possible to outline and define their pluralistic, polysystemic essence and role, to substantiate the possibility of recognizing a new direction in the modern political economy of management. The article accumulates a system of arguments in favor of such a scientific position.
