The article is devoted to the New Economic Policy (NEP) which took place in Soviet Russia in the early 20-ies of the last century. We consider the general historical situation in which he took the new economic policy. The reasons of the transition to the NEP, the objectives and tasks which the Soviet leadership supposed to be solved in the course of its implementation. Disclosed are measures by which the new economic policies have been implemented. Attention is drawn to the fact, as the NEP was seen in the ranks of the Bolshevik Party. Orthodox part of the party saw in NEP revival of capitalism and the betrayal of the revolution. The results of the New Economic Policy in the field of agriculture and industry and the reasons for its clotting. It turns out the value of the New Economic Policy.

The article considers the issue of developing a program to create a common electricity market of the Eurasian Economic Union. The system of models to implement two stages of the program of organizational and institutional support and investment programs for the development of each country participating in the creation of the electricity market was devised. The authors suggested including in the schedule of the program the reserves determined on the basis of the impact of negative factors on each activity separately. The estimation of time reserve is based on a combination of expert assessments using a specially designed scale and the theory of fuzzy sets. The authors developed an algorithm for calculating fuzzy evaluation of the reserve time for the event. It is proposed to use a risk-function to determine the scalar value of reserve time to include into the model of schedule formation of program activities implementation. The developed approach is illustrated by a numerical example.

The authors propose a solution to this problem based on the application of the hierarchy analysis method that allows to identify specific processes, functions and units that are of the top priority for research and improvement in implementing lean production systems.

This work is devoted to the analysis of the model of the process of changing the loyalty of employees under the influence of several controlling factors.

The paper presents itself a marketing analysis of aviation engine-building production. For this purpose the authors used a matrix of “Boston Consulting Group” (BCG) the main task of which is sorting out the priorities in the development of different goods, as well as companies, and the branch in general. This model of portfolio analysis puts emphasis on investing in rapidly developing goods by means of their extraction from mature or non-profitable productions.

The article considers the role of adaptation in human resource management, as well as the basic functions of HR-manager and director in the process. Two groups of adaptation management tools are distinguished with the emphasis on the benefits of introducing mentoring as an institutional tool.
