The use of a program-project approach will help to structure the efforts aimed at improving each part of the tourism infrastructure. The effectiveness of its implementation depends on a variety of factors, including the level of intersectoral cooperation and the executive discipline of the management bodies, as well as the availability of sufficient funding in each year of the implementation of the relevant comprehensive program.

Research implications. The theoretical significance lies in the formation of a scientific understanding of the mechanism of managing the tourism industry through a program-project approach that considers consumer preferences. This enriches the theory of the state in relation to the tourism industry. The practical significance lies in the applied nature of scientific conclusions for public authorities and business communities

Aim. The aim is to form approaches to sales management under the influence of the green agenda, with a focus on identifying the limitations and contradictions of this transformation.

Methodology. Secondary data and indicators of the global green economy market were analyzed, and academic publications, reports of international organizations, and corporate cases were studied.

Results. It was shown that the green transformation requires a selective approach, considering the industry specifics and financial capabilities of the organization. The advantages and disadvantages of transitioning to the principles of the green economy were identified. The article addresses the pressing issues of adapting the organization's commercial functions, which were previously overlooked in similar studies. It explores the barriers to transforming sales management systems in the context of the green economy, providing valuable insights for sales teams.

Research implications. The study summarizes the differences between traditional and green sales management models. It updates the issue of implementing green economy principles in business practices. The article provides recommendations for sales managers regarding new requirements for employee competencies, sales management, and sales system organization.

Aim. To determine the feasibility of using artificial intelligence (AI) in formulating an organization's development strategy.

Methodology. The study utilized a systems approach, graphical and verbal modeling, content analysis of secondary data, and synthesis of the obtained results. Among the schools of strategy, those that are consistent with the selection of strategies from among standard ones were identified.

Results. The study concluded that AI not only complements the intellectual potential of strategy developers but also enables the consideration of hidden connections between development factors by performing multivariate analyses.

Research implications. The theoretical value of the study lies in the development of approaches to formulating an organization's strategy based on standard models using the potential of AI. The practical value lies in the proposed recommendations for the use of AI.

Aim. The objective is to develop practical recommendations for improving existing strategic planning tools to enhance the effectiveness of regional socioeconomic management and development.

Methodology. The procedure and methods include an analysis of digitalization tools, including artificial intelligence and big data, which open up new opportunities for strategy analysis.

Results. The results identify the need to create specialized bodies to coordinate strategic planning, and recommendations for integrating digital tools, considering regional specificities, for the operational monitoring and adaptation of plans are developed.

Research implications. The theoretical and/or practical significance lies in the proposal of specific measures for the formation of specialized coordinating bodies, regional data processing centers, incentives for PPPs, and the digitalization of processes.

Aim. The impact of tax measures on the development of IT technologies in Russia and abroad, recommendations for optimizing tax policy in the interests of the development of modern Russian technologies. The problem identified in the study: is that while European countries are adapting their regulations to Pillar Two, focusing on supporting medium-sized businesses and real R&D operations, Russia is ignoring these rules. While European countries prioritize real R&D centers and attracting domestic and foreign specialists to the IT sector, Russia prioritizes accrediting companies with high payrolls, which will further worsen the financial situation of these IT companies.

Methodology. Based on monitoring the state of the IT industry in Russia, Ireland, and Estonia, a comparative analysis of tax regimes was conducted and their key instruments were examined. To write this article, the author utilized modern scientific research methods, such as analytical, statistical, grouping, and tabular data presentation, which enabled the achievement of the stated goal.

Results. In the mid-2020s, tax policy in the IT sector ceased to be merely a tool for optimizing budgetary relations. It became a strategic lever in the global competition for technological leadership and sovereignty. The Russian model successfully fulfilled the task of providing emergency assistance and consolidating the industry during a period of shock. Its historical effectiveness in the medium term will be determined by its ability to transform from a logic of mobilization defense to a logic of building an open, technologically aggressive, and globally competitive innovation ecosystem, where tax incentives do not isolate, but rather integrate into new markets and cooperation chains.

Research implications are due to the significant role of the IT sector in the economy, as it is a key driver of economic growth, innovation, and services exports in many countries. In recent years, governments have been combining tax incentives, special regimes, and direct support to stimulate software development, R&D, and the export of digital services. At the same time, global tax coordination (Pillar Two) is underway, influencing the international tax environment for large technology companies. For Russia, this issue is particularly relevant due to import substitution goals, the development of IT export potential, and the introduction of special tax regimes for domestic IT companies.
