The article considers the problem of the formation of strategies to displace imports by Russian companies in terms of sanctions. By giving due attention to the improvement of strategic management domestic producers could increase competitiveness of their enterprises and gain a greater market share. The strategy of differentiation proposed in this paper focuses on the uniqueness of the product by increasing its customer value, which totally satisfies the demand, causes the enterprise to search for untapped markets where there are no competitors because of innovation and helps to stay ahead of competition due to competitive advantages.

The article considers the mechanism of competitive selection of scientific projects for their further financing on the basis of the theory of decision making. To select a limited number of projects from the available alternatives by assessing their value a method of linear roll-up of criteria which allows to estimate the feasibility of alternatives in general is offered. The application of this method will allow to create an optimum program for research and innovation support fund under limited budget.

The article examines the approaches used in different models of management to integrate strategic and tactical management, highlights the limitations of these approaches and justifies the usage of controlling as the most adequate for the Russian business control system, providing not only stable relationship of strategic and tactical goals, but also the mechanisms for achieving them.

The article considers a technique for enterprise activity planning on the basis of project implementation. An approach is shown to the analysis of cause-effect relationship between interdependent projects for their further consecutive, parallel or parallel-serial realization. The algorithm for creating Gant’s chart is presented. The purpose of making the chart is to illustrate different stages of works, with a certain task to be executed being attributed to each time period.

The effectiveness of the control system is largely dependent on its information provision. This article considers the information and communication problems of the Russian management through the concept of e-Government.

The article considers the approaches and methods to analyze comparative attractiveness of mutual insurers and commercial insurance in comparison with a waiver of insurance. The author used mathematical expectation of the insured costs for insurance protection and their dispersion which characterizes the level of increased risk of these costs as indicators of attractiveness. The analytical forms determining the values of these indicators for the commercial insurance and non-insurance based on the parameters of the law of distribution losses and the amount of insurance premiums are provided. For mutual insurance it is offered to estimate their values during simulation experiment with the features that reflect the characteristics of the insurance business. Some results of this experiment are provided and the conditions under which mutual insurance becomes a more effective form of protection insurance in comparison with its other options are determined.
