Digital marketing impact on consumer purchasing decisions: insights from the FMCG sector in Mthatha
type: item
description: This study investigated the impact of digital marketing on consumer purchasing decisions within the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector in Mthatha, South Africa. The research aimed to identify the most effective digital marketing channels, analyse key factors influencing consumer behaviour, and understand barriers to digital marketing adoption in a semi-urban context. A quantitative research design was employed using a descriptive survey method. The study targeted consumers aged 18 and above who regularly purchase FMCG products in Mthatha. A non-probability convenience sampling approach was adopted due to geographic constraints, resulting in a sample size of 100 respondents. Data was collected through structured questionnaires distributed both online and offline to ensure inclusivity. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS to examine relationships between digital marketing exposure and purchasing behaviour. The findings reveal that platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube are the most influential in shaping consumer decisions, with promotions and user reviews identified as the most impactful content types. Influencer marketing also emerged as a key driver of trust and engagement. The study highlights infrastructural challenges, including limited internet access and high data costs, which hinder full adoption of digital marketing. Key recommendations include prioritizing social media platforms, leveraging influencer collaborations, and integrating promotional content and user reviews into marketing strategies. Furthermore, businesses should adopt hybrid marketing approaches and invest in digital literacy initiatives to enhance consumer engagement. JEL Classification: M31, M37, D12.

Service quality in the healthcare sector: the role of strategic human resources planning
type: item
description: The study evaluated the influence of strategic human resources planning on service quality in selected healthcare organizations in Benin City, Nigeria. Specifically, it examined how succession planning, focused learning and development, and workforce audits influenced service quality in the healthcare sector. The study utilized a cross-sectional research design executed through a survey involving a sample of 275 respondents. This sample was derived from 860 employees being the total population of the three participating healthcare organizations purposively selected for the study. The research instrument was a well structured instrument designed in the Likert scale format. The validity of the instrument was assured through face and content validation techniques, while the reliability was assured through the Cronbach alpha statistic test, which yielded alpha values greater than 0.70 acceptable reliability value threshold for empirical studies. Three hypotheses in alignment with the study objectives were raised and tested using simple linear regression analysis, and at 5% level of significance. The findings revealed that succession planning, focused learning and development and workforce audits all had significant influence on service quality improvements in the sampled health organizations. The study concluded that the strategic human resource planning components examined positively influenced service quality in the healthcare organizations. It was recommended among other things that healthcare organizations should ensure continued policies and initiatives that support succession planning and uphold systematic, well-structured, focused learning and development programmes for employees to improve their service quality.

Digital intelligence as a factor in the formation of organizational digital competitiveness
type: item
description: Today, the rapid digitalization of the world economy significantly transforms the approaches to forming competitive advantages of organizations. Until recently, the key factors for the success of entrepreneurial activity were its material elements and quick access to capital, however, at the current stage of development, one of the main roles has begun to be played by the ability of an organization to work with all elements of the digital ecosystem and successfully integrate them into all processes.In this context, the issue of understanding "digital intelligence" as an essential characteristic of an organization that determines its market position in the digital competitive environment becomes particularly relevant. In scientific research, digitalization is often viewed as a technological process of implementing information systems, but insufficient attention is paid to management tools for transforming digital potential into sustainable economic effects. Thus, digital competitiveness cannot be viewed only through the prism of the existing IT infrastructure, because its provision requires a complex integration of technological, analytical, managerial and cultural forces into a single intellectual business architecture. The article proposes the author's interpretation of digital intelligence, differentiates its structural components, and presents their synergy in the process of transition from the initial digital base to the final level of digital maturity. It is demonstrated that digital intelligence is the key, transformational stage that ensures the transformation of digitalization from a point and limited in scale process into a strategic factor of development. A conceptual model of digital competitiveness formation is proposed, within which the levels of logic of transition from the creation of basic IT infrastructure to the achievement of sustainable market advantages and adaptability are shown. It is substantiated that the development of digital intelligence …

Research and evolution of the semantics of the "digital competencies" category in organizations
type: item
description: This article aims to examine the theoretical basis of the semantics of the category of “digital competencіes”, to trace the evolution of views on understanding this concept, and to outline distinctive approaches and features in the authors’ scientific works related to the interpretation of the phenomenon under study. The paper employs an analysis, synthesis, and comparison of content through the lens of three focuses – the research, regulatory, and applied fields. The latter is due to the need to take into account the peculiarities of organisations' activities, and to further develop the categorical and conceptual apparatus that addresses urgent challenges and opportunities in the digital era. It was found that, in the research field, the term is used in the singular as a set of relevant structural elements; in the regulatory and applied fields, in the plural, as an integral ability with a special focus on the use of digital tools. Based on the obtained results, we suggest that the given phenomenon has a multifaceted nature that can be studied holistically using the three outlined focuses. The article justifies the need to use the term "digital competencу" when it comes to its use by organisations, in the plural, as a support for the legal and scientific unification of domestic achievements with generally recognised international frameworks and research. As a result of the analysis, the category of "digital competencies" is defined as a complex and dynamic system of knowledge, skills, abilities, and attitudes of employees of the organisation that arises when using digital tools, producing digital content, and interacting with the latest digital models and technologies.

Adaptive management of a machine-building enterprise under martial law
type: item
description: The purpose of the article is to substantiate the theoretical and methodological foundations for the formation of an adaptive management system of a machine-building enterprise under martial law and to develop an integral indicator for assessing the level of its adaptability using the case of JSC “Motor Sich”. Methodology. The research is based on a systemic and structural approach to the analysis of adaptive management under conditions of military and economic instability. Methods of theoretical generalization, comparative analysis, formalization, and integral assessment were applied. The study identifies key external transformations affecting industrial enterprises, including market, financial, logistical, institutional, personnel, security, and technological risks. An integral adaptability index is constructed as a weighted sum of normalized values of seven functional indicators reflecting strategic flexibility, financial sustainability, risk management efficiency, organizational mobility, personnel adaptability, digital maturity, and production flexibility. Findings. It is substantiated that martial law significantly reshapes the external environment of machine-building enterprises, increasing uncertainty and systemic vulnerability. Adaptability acquires a multidimensional and integrated character, combining mechanisms of strategic response, financial stabilization, risk control, organizational restructuring, and digital transformation. The proposed methodology enables quantitative measurement of enterprise adaptability and provides a structured interpretation scale for evaluating its level. Originality. The scientific novelty lies in the development of a comprehensive model for measuring enterprise adaptability under martial law, integrating strategic, financial, organizational, digital, and production dimensions into a single integral index with justified weighting coefficients. Practical implications. The proposed assessment tool can be applied for strategic …

Digital transformation management of SMES in Ukraine under martial law
type: item
description: The purpose of this article is to explore the current state and key barriers to digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ukraine under conditions of full-scale war. It analyses the impact of security, financial, human resource, and infrastructure constraints on firms’ capacity for technological renewal, highlighting that limited access to capital, skilled workforce shortages, and high uncertainty significantly narrow the planning horizon for Ukrainian SMEs. Methodology: The study relies on desk research, official statistics, policy documents, and international as well as national indices of digital maturity to identify structural factors that shape the pace and direction of SME digitalisation. Particular attention is paid to the paradoxical combination of high public sector digitalisation and relatively low average digital maturity of SMEs, which produces an asymmetric environment of opportunities and constraints. Findings of the study reveals that state digital ecosystems such as Diia and Diia.Business function as instrumental support platforms that reduce transaction costs, expand access to financial and advisory instruments, and facilitate the formalisation and scaling of entrepreneurial activity. On this basis, the paper conceptualises hybrid digital infrastructure as a core element of digital resilience that integrates cloud services, backup connectivity channels, and autonomous power systems to support business continuity under conditions of physical, cyber, and energy insecurity. The empirical generalisations allow the authors to systematise typical strategies of wartime digital adaptation for Ukrainian SMEs, including step-by-step digital transformation, intensive use of state e-services, development of digital competences within firms, and risk-oriented investments with short payback periods.

Formation of regional competitive advantages in the context of territorial and digital marketing
type: item
description: The article explores the formation of competitive advantages of regions within the conditions of economic transformation and the growing influence of digital technologies. It emphasizes that regional competitiveness is increasingly determined not only by traditional resource factors but also by the capacity of territories to design, position, and communicate a coherent value proposition to diverse stakeholder groups. In this context, marketing-oriented governance emerges as a strategic component of regional development. The purpose of the research is to substantiate the theoretical and methodological foundations of integrating territorial and digital marketing as complementary instruments for strengthening regional competitiveness. The subject of the study encompasses the mechanisms, strategic effects, and management implications associated with the application of marketing approaches in regional policy. The methodological framework is based on comparative analysis, structural-functional decomposition, and the synthesis of interdisciplinary concepts derived from regional economics, marketing, and digital transformation studies. Systemic analysis is applied to identify interdependencies between territorial branding, digital communication channels, stakeholder perception, and socio-economic outcomes. The findings indicate that sustainable regional competitive advantages depend on the strategic alignment of territorial identity with digital interaction environments. The integration of territorial and digital marketing produces synergy effects reflected in reputational strengthening, enhanced investment attractiveness, and deeper stakeholder engagement. Simultaneously, the study reveals that institutional, organizational, and coordination constraints reduce the effectiveness of fragmented marketing initiatives. The originality and value of the research consist in the development of an integrative conceptual framework explaining the combined impact of territorial and dig…

Effective personnel controlling and cost management
type: item
description: In the current landscape of global economic instability and rapid technological transformation, personnel costs have emerged as one of the most significant and volatile components of an enterprise's total expenditure structure. Traditional administrative approaches to human resource management often fail to provide the analytical depth required for sustainable financial health. Consequently, there is an urgent need for an integrated system of personnel controlling that bridges the gap between financial objectives and human capital development. This article addresses the theoretical foundations and practical implementation of controlling mechanisms designed to optimize labor-related expenses while enhancing overall organizational performance. The research utilizes a multidimensional methodological framework, incorporating systems analysis, functional modeling, and a comparative case study approach. By synthesizing contemporary management theories with empirical data from industrial enterprises, the study evaluates the nexus between strategic planning and operational monitoring of labor productivity and expenditure. The study redefines personnel controlling as a sophisticated internal planning and regulatory system that transforms high-level corporate strategies into actionable HR initiatives. The author identifies and details four primary functional domains: the information-support function (creating a robust analytical database), the planning function (forecasting qualitative and quantitative labor needs), the directive function (developing corrective measures for negative trends), and the control-analytical function (verifying performance against strategic benchmarks). A significant portion of the research is dedicated to the bifurcation of controlling into strategic and operational levels. Strategic controlling focuses on aligning human potential with long-term business scaling and innovation, while operational controlling targets tactical efficiency and the immed…

Marketing opportunities in the system of ensuring FMCG business sustainability in modern conditions: conceptual and applied aspects
type: item
description: The modern business environment is characterized by high uncertainty, demand turbulence, logistical constraints, changing consumer priorities, and intensifying competition. Under such conditions, the resilience of an enterprise increasingly depends not only on “protective” anti-crisis solutions, but also on the ability to systematically identify and monetize opportunities arising from changes. The article substantiates the use of opportunity marketing as a management approach that enhances business resilience in conditions of uncertainty and military challenges. The relevance of the topic is due to the importance of the FMCG segment for the economy of Ukraine, as everyday goods support the continuity of consumption, employment in supply chains, and food security. The purpose of the study is to form an applied framework for opportunity marketing in the system of ensuring sustainability and to determine the directions of its application using the example of TM “Khlibodar” (HD-Group), which combines multi-channel sales with export activities. The empirical base of the case reflects the scale of the brand portfolio (over 120 items) and the international orientation of the company (exports to over 20 countries, the share of exports in sales is 30–33%), which allows us to consider market diversification as a risk reduction tool. Methodologically, a systematic approach, analysis of marketing policy, generalization of sales and channel data, as well as PEST analysis for the selection of foreign markets and assessment of regulatory and logistical factors have been used. A five-stage opportunity management cycle has been proposed, which translates market signals into proven solutions and their institutionalization in the company's processes, and the connection between the sensory, entrepreneurial and transformational functions of opportunity marketing and sustainability indicators has been shown. The practical significance of the results lies in the recommendations for FMCG c…

The method for evaluating driver performance in freight carriers organizatios considering risk and uncertainty factors
type: item
description: The article develops a method for evaluating the performance of road transport vehicle (RTV) drivers in carrier organizations and logistics providers, taking into account the variability of performance outcomes under conditions of risk and uncertainty. The theoretical foundation of the study is the concept of statistical thinking and the provisions of Deming’s management theory regarding the distinction between random and non-random variability of process outcomes. The expediency of abandoning deterministic normative values of personnel performance indicators is substantiated, and an approach to their interpretation based on statistical characteristics and control limits is proposed. The paper constructs a structural model for forming a system of indicators for evaluating RTV drivers’ performance that accounts for the heterogeneity of transportation conditions across different trip types. An approach to identifying and quantitatively measuring evaluation indicators is proposed based on the relative number of driver errors in specific types of transport operations using Shewhart control charts. Recommendations are developed for interpreting the obtained results from the standpoint of managing random and non-random variability, as well as for forming individual learning and development trajectories for personnel. The practical application of the proposed method creates prerequisites for improving the effectiveness and efficiency of managerial decision-making in logistics personnel management, ensures more substantiated motivation of RTV drivers, and promotes the dissemination of positive management practices in organizations providing freight transport services.

Transformation of the enterprise risk management paradigm in Ukraine under martial law
type: item
description: The article examines the transformation of the management paradigm and enterprise risk management system in Ukraine under conditions of martial law. It substantiates the declining effectiveness of traditional risk management approaches formed within a relatively stable socio-economic environment and proves the necessity of transitioning toward an adaptive managerial paradigm focused on ensuring enterprise viability and operational continuity. The study identifies key groups of risks that have gained critical importance during wartime, including security, logistics, energy, human resources, and market risks. An approach to formalizing strategic decision-making within the risk management system is proposed based on the application of integral indices of external military threat and internal resource resilience of enterprises. This approach enables the aggregation of heterogeneous risk factors and enhances the rationality and consistency of managerial decisions. Based on the combination of these indices, an algorithm for positioning enterprises within a two-dimensional “threat–resilience” space is developed, and the logic of selecting appropriate management strategies depending on index values is substantiated. An original risk management strategy selection matrix is proposed, combining the level of external military threat and internal resource resilience, which allows distinguishing four basic business behavior scenarios: hibernation, survival, relocation, and growth. The study demonstrates that applying a differentiated, indicator-oriented approach to risk management ensures alignment between threat levels, enterprise resource capabilities, and strategic managerial decisions. Overall, the integration of the proposed mechanisms into enterprise management systems contributes to mitigating the negative effects of hostilities, preserving assets, and creating prerequisites for sustainable enterprise functioning and post-war economic recovery.

Financial inclusion and poverty reduction among small and medium enterprises in Tanzania: moderating role of digital capability
type: item
description: The study examined the impact of financial inclusion on poverty reduction among small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) owners in Tanzania. Specifically, its purpose was to evaluate the effects of access to financial institutions, savings accounts, loan services, and automated teller machines (ATMs) on poverty alleviation outcomes. Additionally, the study has investigated the moderating role of digital capabilities–including digital infrastructure, information management, analytics, operational efficiency, and transformational capacity–in clarifying the relationship between financial inclusion and poverty reduction. The study adopted a cross-sectional explanatory research design grounded in a deductive approach and employed survey techniques for data collection. The multistage, stratified, and simple random sampling procedure was used to select a sample of 381 SME owners across five regions: Dar es Salaam, Mwanza, Arusha, Mbeya, and Mtwara. Primary data were collected using a structured questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression, and hierarchical regression analysis. Findings: Financial inclusion–measured by access to financial institutions, savings accounts, loan services, and ATMs–had a positive and statistically significant effect on poverty reduction among SME owners. Furthermore, digital capabilities were found to play a positive and significant moderating role in the relationship between financial inclusion and poverty reduction, strengthening the observed effects. However, among the financial inclusion components, only savings accounts demonstrated significant interaction effects with digital capabilities. Practical Implication: Owners of SMEs are encouraged to increase their use of savings accounts, loan services, and ATMs to enhance the effectiveness of financial inclusion initiatives in achieving poverty-reduction outcomes. Policymakers should strengthen financial inclusion by promo…

Evolution of leadership paradigms in the context of organizational development of the 21st century
type: item
description: The article examines the evolution of leadership paradigms in the context of organizational development in the 21st century. It analyzes the transformation of scholarly approaches from classical trait theories and behavioral models to contemporary concepts of transformational, authentic, servant, and emotionally intelligent leadership. Particular attention is paid to the impact of globalization, digitalization, the dynamics of the VUCA environment, and the growing role of human capital on the transformation of managerial practices. It is substantiated that modern leadership is viewed not merely as an individual characteristic of a manager but as a systemic organizational competence that ensures strategic flexibility, innovativeness, and resilience to external challenges. The study emphasizes the shift in focus from formal authority and administrative control to socio-psychological mechanisms of influence, trust-building, the development of organizational culture, and the enhancement of employee engagement. Methodological challenges in contemporary leadership research are also analyzed, including issues related to the measurement of leadership styles, the role of followership, and the phenomenon of the “dark side” of leadership. The interrelationship between the development of leadership competencies and the achievement of long-term organizational competitiveness is established. The expediency of integrating modern leadership paradigms into the practices of strategic management, human resource management, and organizational change is justified. The practical value of the study lies in the development of recommendations for implementing modern leadership models under conditions of digital transformation and global turbulence. The findings can be used in designing executive development programs, establishing systems for assessing leadership competencies, and improving organizational development models across various types of organizations.

International transport logistics: managerial decision-making under armed conflicts and economic sanctions
type: item
description: The article provides a comprehensive analysis of international transport logistics through the lens of managerial decision-making under the conditions of armed conflicts and economic sanctions. It highlights how geopolitical disruptions fundamentally reshape the configuration of global supply chains, leading to rerouting of transportation corridors, a significant increase in logistical costs, heightened security threats to carriers, and destabilization of established trade networks. The study emphasizes that these challenges require proactive and well-structured managerial responses aimed at mitigating risks, ensuring continuity of operations, and maintaining competitiveness in international markets. The research investigates the transformation of transport and logistics systems by examining both external constraints – such as the destruction of infrastructure, blockade of maritime ports, and restrictions in access to foreign markets – and internal managerial factors, including the ability of companies and governments to adapt their strategies to rapidly changing conditions. Special attention is given to the role of managerial decisions in enhancing the resilience of logistics systems by diversifying transport corridors, integrating digital monitoring and risk management tools, strengthening cross-border cooperation, and promoting the development of regional transport alliances. The article also proposes a set of recommendations for policymakers, logistics operators, and international organizations on how to design adaptive strategies that balance efficiency, security, and sustainability of transportation in crisis environments. These recommendations include the introduction of flexible route planning, investment in multimodal infrastructure, fostering innovation in digital logistics platforms, and aligning national regulatory frameworks with international legal instruments. By addressing these issues, the study contributes to the academic debate on transport logist…

Assessing the impact of “one degree, one start-up” initiative on the entrepreneurial mindset: evidence from Djillali Liabes University
type: item
description: The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of the “One Degree, One Start-up” initiative, implemented by the Algerian government under Ministerial Decree No. 1275, on the development of entrepreneurial mindset among students through their final projects at Djilali Liabes University. This initiative is principally operationalized through the pivotal role of university incubators, which provide structured and supervised entrepreneurial support. Methodology: This study adopts a quantitative research approach. Data were collected through a structured survey distributed to 65 participants, consisting of Bachelor’s (3rd year) and Master’s (Master 2) students whose final-year projects were incubated as part of the initiative and awarded the “Innovative Project” label. The collected data were analyzed in a two-step statistical analysis. First, SPSS was used to perform descriptive statistics and preliminary tests to examine the reliability and validity of the measurement instrument. Second, SmartPLS was employed for advanced statistical modeling, particularly for testing the structural relationships between the variables of the study. The research findings show that the intensity and quality of entrepreneurial support provided by incubators—including training, access to resources, mentoring, networking, and administrative support have a positive and significant impact on the three dimensions of entrepreneurial mindset: the cognitive dimension (self-efficacy, creativity, recognition of opportunities, decision making), the behavioral dimension (initiative, leadership, networking skills, executive capacity), and the emotional dimension (motivation, resilience, proactivity, optimism). The result also show that the incubator has become a laboratory for entrepreneurial learning, shaping mindsets that can endure far beyond the incubation experience. JEL Classification: L26, I23

Models of digitalization of recruitment processes in the public administration system: conceptual-philosophical and applied aspects
type: item
description: The digitalization of recruitment processes is becoming a key factor in the transformation of public administration, enabling the modernization of outdated approaches to personnel selection and enhancing the efficiency of the civil service. Therefore, purpose of this study to summarize the leading international models of digital recruitment and to develop an integrated concept that combines technological, procedural, ethical, and social principles to improve the effectiveness of human resource management in the public sector. The research methodology is based on a comparative-analytical approach to modern digital recruitment models proposed by foreign experts. Additionally, methods of system analysis, modeling, deduction, generalization, and regulatory-legal analysis of Ukrainian legislation were applied. This methodological framework made it possible to construct a synergistic model of adapted digital recruitment suitable for Ukraine’s institutional context. The research findings of the study revealed that existing models tend to focus on specific aspects such as technical security, sustainable development, algorithmic neutrality, or analytical typology. In response, the «Ukrainian Resilience-Oriented e-Recruitment Model» was developed to ensure replicability of recruitment competitions across regions, enable remote verification of candidate’s education and experience, eliminate subjective evaluations, and create equal access opportunities for citizens including veterans, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and young professionals. Its structural logic envisions interaction with state registers, AI-based resume parsing systems and ESG modules for assessing motivation and value orientation of candidates. Value of the research of the study lies in the fact that the «Ukrainian Resilience-Oriented e-Recruitment Model» has the potential to transform digital recruitment into an open personnel ecosystem of Ukraine within the framework of public administration.

Strategy for reducing inventory turnover in a manufacturing enterprise
type: item
description: Manufacturing companies wanted to shorten the holding time and increase the turnover without service. This article synthesizes evidence of fifteen colleagues of studies to identify strategies that reduce DIO (DIO) of the day and improve stock turnover (IT). Directed by structured discovery and transparent inclusion criteria we review strict, empirical, field analysis, slim storage and lack of waste, modified smoothed MRPs and orders, adjournment, suspension, vertical integration, vertical integration, vertical integration and surprise. The data was extracted on the design, reference, matrix and effects; The quality of the study and the risk of distortion was evaluated. The synthesis of legends, a supplement where the measures were comparable, indicate continuous DIO sections from lean implementation and removal of warehouse waste, reduce variability in storing policies with other benefits. Integration and information strengthen the effects of visibility; On the other hand, configuration warehouses "very oak" risk, especially under unstable demand. The slight results of the industry and the fixed scale and the inequality in the range of metrics are estimated. The consequences are practical: segment of SKU, a few slender flows with disciplined rules of safety tracks, stabilization of commands by adapting MRP and expanding cooperation upstream. The boundaries include the measurement of the non -ecosity and potential distortion of the publication. In the end, we closed the implementation plan and proposed a proposal for the cause to separate the power of the mechanism in future research. JEL Classification: M11 L23 D24
