Circular Economy in Developed and Developing Countries:
Perspective, Methods And Examples discusses practical examples of
formation of circular economy in the developed and developing
world. Special attention is paid to the experiences of modern
Russia in formation of circular economy, as Russia holds a unique
position in the system of international classification of countries
of the world, possessing the features of developed and developing
economies. The authors seek the goal of helping develop a new
approach to research, founded on the idea that ecological crisis is
proof of the necessity for formation of circular economy. Methods
of formation are offered based on the determined peculiarities and
common regularities, where imbalance of developed and developing
countries is overcome and the threat to ecological crises is
reduced. Aimed at academics of world economics, circular economy
and macro-economics, Circular Economy in Developed and Developing

Focusing on modern business systems from within the modern Russian
context, this book examines how companies can become leading
competitors globally within their industries through new decision
making processes. Whilst current practices support the
sustainability of a business system in terms of maintaining normal
functionality and the prevention of crises, there is a need to
consider the goals of leading organizations with larger business
systems and greater resources. These goals can be more global in
their focus and envisage the creation or strengthening of
competitive advantages. Contributors of this book explore large
scale industries specializing in hi-tech spheres of economy and
instigate innovative activity in the face of high-levels of
competition. Specific industries analyzed in this content include
digital medicine, energy efficiency and car manufacturers. Using
models of optimization and a range of real-world case studies, the
book provides tools, technological analysis and techniques for
practitioners to use within their own decision-making practices.
For scholars researching business management, leadership and
decision-making, this book also offers a useful insight into how
optimized decision-making processes can be applied to the modern
business system.
Under the increasing influence of globalization, integration and
technological progress, modern business systems have become highly
complex in terms of their organization, strategies and management.
Specifics of Decision Making in Modern Business Systems:
Regularities and Tendencies concentrates on how this changing
context of the modern business system affects the process of
decision making within organizations and corporations. With a focus
on the regularities and tendencies of decision making within modern
Russian business systems, the numerous contributors provide
alternative and innovative ways to optimize and develop the process
of decision making within businesses globally. This includes the
use of forecasting within the consumer market, a consideration of
public-private partnerships, and the development of a cluster
platform to unify large, medium and small businesses. Specifics of
Decision Making in Modern Business Systems provides a useful
insight into the optimization of decision making within businesses
for researchers and practitioners working within information
economy creation and development and management strategy.
The concept of an information economy is considered by some to be a
new branch of economic theory, and by others as the next stage of
development for an economy post-industrialization. Leading and
developing economies are seeking to quickly develop a functional
information economy in order to help overcome the consequences of
the global financial crisis and ensure high global economic
competitiveness. This book analyzes modern conceptual models of
information economies, highlighting and examining their systemic
contradictions and failings. It explores the disconnection between
the readiness of the technical infrastructure for forming and
developing the information economy, and an unprepared institutional
and societal structure that is therefore unable to implement these
processes and models. The editors present different approaches to
solving these methodological and practical contradictions and lay
out future models across different international contexts. They
also provide recommendations for optimizing their theoretical model
and improving its implementation in modern economic systems.
"Conflict-free" Socio-Economic Systems: Perspectives and
Contradictions analyses crisis as a component of the growth and
development process of economic systems, and its role within the
economic cycle. The scientific treatment of the role of crisis in
the development of economic systems has traditionally been divided
into two conceptual approaches. The first conceptual approach views
crisis as a possibility to reconsider the trajectory of economic
development of both the national systems and the global economic
system overall. However, most scholars, politicians, and experts
focus on the second conceptual approach, within which economic
crisis is seen as a temporary failure in the work of a system which
hinders the process of economic growth and development. This became
a precondition for proclaiming a new course of development of the
modern national and global economic system oriented at
sustainability. This book provides a strong theoretical and
methodological basis to sustainable development of economic
systems, for researchers and scholars in the area of economic
theory and sustainable economics. In locating the role of crisis
within socio-economic systems, Popkova advocates the concept of a
"conflict-free" system as the landmark of global economic
development.

"Underdevelopment whirlpools" is a result of the loss of developing
countries of a transaction factors system's formation due to the
time lags and the need to increase the system of transformation
factors for innovative response to the rapidly evolving external
environment's impact. In Russian conditions "underdevelopment
whirlpools" arise as consequence of extensive model of development.
Only the regions with fields of raw materials are not in
"underdevelopment whirlpools," the rest part of Russian territory
is dragged into whirlpools of different depth. In this book,
prepared for performing at the 6th International Scientific
Conference: "Economic forecasting: models and methods," we examine
problems of economic growth of Russian regions. Treating this
subject we emphasize problems of differentiation and disproportion
of economic growth, determine perspectives of reducing the economic
growth lag between regions of Russia and developed countries.
This book explains complex scientific concepts using simple and
understandable illustrations and practical examples. For example,
the competition between countries in the world economy is compared
to motor racing, time savings are illustrated through the example
of a masquerade ball, and the cyclical effect of time on the
economy is reflected through the prism of changing seasons. It
presents amazing phenomena and processes of economic time,
including 'economic vintage', 'the time machine in the economy',
'youth' and 'old age' of the economy, its 'growing up', 'the
economic calendar', 'catching up', and 'forward-looking'
development. This book will therefore be interesting not only to
members of the scientific community but also to non-academic
readers — to everyone who wants to understand the nature of
economic time.
