Management of Reputation Risks at the Agricultural Enterprises of Eastern Europe as a Component of Increasing Their Competitiveness

Abstract

We note a significant role of the agricultural sector in the development of economic systems in a significant number of post-Soviet countries of Eastern Europe. However, Eastern European agricultural enterprises have significant problems in ensuring and managing their competitiveness, where reputation and the risks associated with it are of key importance. Novelty. The scientific novelty of the research paper is the developed algorithm of reputation risk management, which is based on the author's methodology of their evaluation and takes into account the peculiarities of such management in agricultural enterprises from the post-Soviet countries of Eastern Europe. To achieve the goal and test the hypotheses put forward in the research paper, a set of general, specific and technical methods were used at the empirical and theoretical levels, such as: abstraction method; expert method; methods of analysis and synthesis; comparison; deduction; induction; methods of systematization, grouping and logical generalization. The research methodology is based on systemic and functional, historical and systemic approaches in identifying and resolving the range of problems of reputation risk management within the framework of improving the competitiveness management of agro-industrial enterprises from the post-Soviet countries of Eastern Europe. For the purpose of the study, data were collected and an empirical analysis was conducted concerning the eleven Eastern European countries that were part of the Soviet Union for 1991-2018 regarding analysis of the dynamics of agricultural production and its share in GDP according to statistics taken from the KNOEMA databases. Policy considerations: the agricultural sector of the economy plays an increasing role in the economic systems of some post-Soviet countries of Eastern Europe, serving as the basis for their sustainable development; agricultural producers from the post-Soviet space of Eastern Europe have problems with ensuring competitiveness in national, international and world markets; reputation risk plays a significant role in ensuring and improving the competitiveness management of agricultural enterprises from post-Soviet countries of Eastern Europe; the formation of an effective reputation risk management algorithm is a key element in ensuring and improving the competitiveness management of Eastern European agricultural producers.

Environmental benefits of intelligent transport systems implementing

“…Given the diversity of approaches, it is not unexpected that there has been inadequate agreement on a single strategy for reducing the carbon intensity of transportation (Serrano-Hernandez et al, 2021; Zakharchenko et al, 2019;Ermilova & Ushakov, 2019). Primary routes for reducing carbon emissions include encouraging low-carbon technological innovation and deployment, encouraging modal shift from private car use to less polluting options like walking, cycling, and public transport, advocating for more efficient forms of traffic management and driving behaviour, and implementing strategies to minimize the need for travel (Takayama et The primary areas of disagreement appear to be related to the differences between behavioural and technical innovation, as well as reform and radical change (Kraus & Proff, 2021).…”

Non-Parametric approach to measuring the efficiency of banking sectors crediting agribusiness in ASEAN countries

“…The DEA method was proposed by [7] (CCR), based on [13,14] idea of estimating technical efficiency with production boundaries. The main idea of a classic DEA is to determine the production boundary, on which the decision points for the DMUs are considered to be effective, the non-frontier DMUs will be compared with the equivalent DMUs on the boundary to estimate.…”

Thainess in airlines services strategy: a case from Thailand

“…Conceptually Thainess still has no specific definition, thus (Kongpolphrom, 2018;Zakharchenko et al, 2019) advised to capture its root from Thai culture reading; "way of life, thoughts, beliefs, norms, customs, traditions wisdoms that society created, accumulated, transferred, learnt, adapted, and changed mentally and physically." As refers to Renard (2006) cited that Thainess was cultivated in primary and secondary school regardless of ethnics.…”
