“…All this leads to the conclusion that there is a certain mutual influence of energy saving and energy efficiency improvement processes and innovative development of industrial companies [52,53]. On the one hand, the improvement of efficiency of energy resources utilization on an innovative basis allows the company to address a whole set of tasks related to the reduction of the production costs and increase of competitiveness of the production output.…”

“…When addressing the first task, it was proposed to consider positioning as a fundamental decision of the company's management about the place of energy saving and energy efficiency improvement in the system of its administrative priorities. It must be emphasized that this managerial decision should be made with due account for the purposes, requirements and results expected from the implementation of measures on energy saving and energy efficiency improvement [52,53]. This kind of positioning predetermines the possibility to consider the place and role of energy saving and energy efficiency in the system of management priorities of the company from different points of view, first, from the perspective of addressing the current operational problems of functioning of the company's energy utilities; second, from the perspective of one of possible vectors in solving tactical problems of increasing the efficiency of the company's production and business operations; and third, from the standpoint of one of the strategic areas of the company's development focused on the improvement of its competitiveness.…”

“…The following were identified as the most important principles of the approach being developed. First, consideration of the high degree of mutual influence of energy saving and energy efficiency improvement processes and innovative development processes [118]; second, the need for coordination of managerial decisions related to energy saving and energy efficiency improvement, on the one hand, and related to the innovative development, on the other [53,92,119]; third, active participation of company's management in the management of the processes under consideration [52,91,120,121].…”

Energy efficiency improvement in industrial companies is an essential prerequisite for the enhancement of their competitive positions in the national and global markets. Yet, the approaches currently employed in respect of the energy management do not fully utilize the innovative potential of energy technologies to achieve strategic goals. One way to further develop energy management is theoretical justification of the use of new approaches based on the suggested concept of the energy saving and energy efficiency processes’ positioning in the system of a company’s management priorities. In this article, we consider the applied use of the developed conceptual approach from the perspective of the energy saving and energy efficiency program development at the company. The main purpose of this paper is to justify the relations between energy management and strategic decision making in industrial companies. The results of the research conducted, firstly, make a certain contribution into the research of strategic multiple benefits of energy efficiency in a company; secondly, they expand understanding of the impact of energy saving and energy efficiency improvement on the achievement of operational, tactical and strategic results of the company’s activities; thirdly, they provide methodological decision support for the development of energy saving and energy efficiency programs taking into account the management and organizational barriers.

“…One way to develop a plan to improve energy efficiency (PIEE) is the use of new approaches and modern technologies to minimize energy consumption [37]. This PIEE should also be a priority for the SMEs [38]. Reorganization of production, modernization of technologies, and introduction of efficient equipment lead to the growth of industrial production.…”

The paper presents a new vision on the energy consumption management in the case of the small and medium enterprises (SMEs), integrated into an advanced decision support platform, with technical and economic benefits on increasing the energy efficiency, with four modules for database management, profiling, forecasting, and production scheduling. Inside each module, artificial intelligence and data mining techniques were proposed to remove the uncertainties regarding the dynamic of technological flows. Thus, the data management module includes the data mining techniques, that extract the technical details on the energy consumption needed in the development of production scheduling strategies, the profiling module uses an original approach based on clustering techniques to determine the typical energy consumption profiles required in the optimal planning of the activities, the forecasting module contains a new approach based on an expert system to forecast the total energy consumption of the SMEs, and production scheduling module integrates a heuristic optimization method to obtain the optimal solutions in flattening the energy consumption profile. The testing was done for a small enterprise from Romania, belonging to the domain of trade and repair of vehicles. The obtained results highlighted the advantages of the proposed decision support platform on the decrease in the intensity of energy consumption per unit of product, reduction of the purchase costs, and modification of the impact for which energy bills have on the operational costs.

Subject. The article investigates trends in the value of return on innovation. Objectives. The study aims to identify changes in return on innovation, using the case of leading Russian and foreign companies, to adjust the innovation management mechanism. Methods. I employed general scientific methods of research. Company official websites, market reviews and annual financial statements, patent databases of the European Patent Office, the Questel Orbit intellectual property portal, and the Google Patents search engine served as information base. Results. The study draws on the hypothesis that the value of innovation among Russian companies does not grow, despite the increase in funding for innovation. I tested the hypothesis, based on the working conditions of leading Russian companies in comparison with the performance of foreign companies. The study was conducted in three stages. It revealed divergent dynamics of the value of innovation of domestic and foreign enterprises. However, foreign companies show deviation from the average at a much higher level of the value of return on innovation as compared to Russian companies. Conclusions. Innovation has not become a factor for sustainable development of Russian companies. To change the current situation, it is necessary to reorient company's development strategy to ensure an increasing return on innovation.
