The article is devoted to the improvement of management methods in social and economic systems. As the author thinks that the operating management methods don’t meet the increased demands of public life. The main drawback of the operating management system is the lack of the entire vision of the current financial and economic processes. According to the author academician V.I. Vernadsky scientific discovery of the bio-sphere transformation phenomenon into noo-sphere allows to put into the basic social and economic development methodology the ideology of intelligence sphere which possesses the whole content and reflects the regularities of nature and society development. Intelligence sphere methodology reflects a new way of thinking which is qualitatively different from the traditional one prevailing all over the world. Intelligence sphere methodology declares the maintenance of social and economic systems’ development viability and sustainability for a long perspective as its target function. Such a position mostly corresponds to the content of homeostatic management methods being the basis for cyber science ideology. The author considers the public development target function as providing bio-social viability and sustainability. It is possible to mention the quantitative determination of such a target function as maximization of new cost growth rate by minimizing socially necessary cost. The article shows that homeostatic management methods can be the most important lever mechanism of implementing such a target function into reality.

The analytical review of national and foreign approaches to the internal financial control is presented in this paper. The examination of existing approaches enabled to define the internal financial control as one of the management spheres within the economic entity, which provides the efficient achievement of goals and is realized by constructing a system of interrelated elements. Nevertheless the key moments of the notion specification are its aims and objectives, which vary depending on the nature of business, its scale and the levels of internal financial control realization. The authors’ understanding of demarcation of different financial control designations was noted as one of the conclusions. For instance, it seems necessary to divide such determinations as internal and corporate control as far as the corporate control category covers only some of the objects of internal financial control that limits the scope of its use. The article also touches upon the demarcation between the concepts of financial control, controlling, and internal audit. The authors determine the internal financial control as one of the key areas of practical implementation of controlling tasks and objectives. According to the hierarchy of concepts presented in the article, internal audit serves as the main tool of internal financial control. The emerging role of system and value-based approach, the necessity of industry and structure characteristics consideration during the process of internal financial control system development, the introduction of a new perspective direction of strategy financial control are pointed out as the main tendencies of internal financial control investigation. The undertaken analysis of existing approaches allowed forming a strong theoretical basis for the examination of practical aspects of internal financial control development and determining the key directions of the investigation.

In the current geopolitical situation, the role of the Far East has increased significantly, so the choice of the basic directions of development and turning the Far East into a dynamic region becomes a strategic task for Russia. Contemporary public policy in the region is aimed to bring all the types of resources, existing capacity, as well as territories into a single regional center with a diversified economy and sustainable development. The study of socio-economic status of the subjects using statistical data and their analysis over the years has allowed to identify the main problems inherent in the region, including the territorial dispersion of the regions in the far Eastern Federal district, the relatively low level of development, inadequate energy and transport infrastructure, the obsolete industrial base, low degree of diversification and innovativeness of the economy, the lack of human resources also the imbalance in the structure of sources of revenue and limited domestic financial resources mainly due to the lack of a major budget-forming enterprises-taxpayers. The state program on “Socio-economic development of the Far East and the Baikal region for the period till 2025” provides for the formation of conditions for accelerated development of the Far East, turning it into a competitive region. To implement the program new mechanisms of social and economic development of the Far East have been created in the region (the territories of advanced development - TAD); a free port Vladivostok; a system of investment projects infrastructure support; A Fund of the Far East and the Baykal Region Development; a new mechanism of prioritizing the Far East Federal District accelerated development state programs, aimed at creating the conditions for implementing new projects. At that it is underlined that a rethinking of social and economic policy is taking place, which should be aimed first and above all at diversifying the economy. It is mentioned that the issues of complex development are advanced to the forefront, which allow the region to become investment prospects with improved business climate and actively develop international cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region.

The article contains the critical analysis of foreign methods of management research treated as a productivity factor and elaborated on the basis of surveys. The evaluation of such approaches is relevant for Russia because of its low economic productivity with the causes of management’s role keeping unclear. The article shows the first of such researches operated in some foreign countries and economic sectors seemed to prove the link between management and productivity while later applied to various countries and sectors they didn’t achieve the goal. The survey methods impeded the credible determination of the investigated link, its mechanism and terms of constitution. To cope these problems the complementation of such instrument with the others compensating its inability to identify the casualty of the links, the information distortion due to the peculiarities of the cognition processes reflected in the surveys and its limitations under multiplicity and variability of the management and productivity interaction in various national and sectoral contexts was required. These means were the tried and tested historical research methods as well as the new ones elaborated basis systemic approach for so called soft theories. Their application with the survey method would result in the constitution of the efficient instrument not only for the operative and reliable determination of the link between management and productivity of various sectors and countries but for the respective economic policy elaborated and realized on such a basis. To cope with these problems the complementation of such instrument with the others compensating its inability to identify the casualty of the links, the information distortion due to the peculiarities of the cognition processes reflected in the surveys and its limitations under multiplicity and variability of the management and productivity interaction in various national and spectral contexts was required. These means were the tried and tested historical research methods as well as the new ones elaborated basis systemic approach for so called soft theories. Their application with the survey method would result in the constitution of the efficient instrument not only for the operative and reliable determination of the link between management and productivity of various sectors and countries but for the respective economic policy elaborated and realized on such a basis.

The aim of the study was to explore how Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) affects on company capitalization through the lens of a stakeholder approach. The article presents the results of the empirical study of 12 largest Russian public companies in different sectors of economy with the most developed models of CSR. The data were sampled from the database compiled by the authors for the period of 2010- 2014. The relevant hypothesis was tested using the comparative analysis, the correlation-regressive model, and methods of value based management. The findings supported the prediction that fulfilling CSR has a significant impact on company capitalization. Informational portal of Moscow Interbank Currency Stock Exchange (MICSE) was used as companies’ capitalization data base source for defining series of analytical results. CSR data were received on the base of non-financial records which were posted on the companies’ official sites. The research methodology is based on theoretical developments and scientific instrumentarium involving the comparative analysis, economic and mathematic modeling and methods of value management. The necessity of using stakeholder approach giving the possibility to look at the problem of raising business efficiency via reaching companies’ social directivity in order to satisfy all the engaged sides is justified. The article formulates a number of hypotheses which were either proved or rejected in the process of research. With the help of the correlation-regressive model it was proved that not all the social investments into human capital development as one of the main aim of CSR events directly influence on companies efficiency and their capitalization, it was also found out that not all socially responsible investments in the development of human capital directly affect company’s sustainability. This conclusion can be used as a criterion for considering socially responsible investment policy and effective decision making. The findings of the study allowed the authors to lay down the guidelines for working out rational managerial decisions to foster company’s strategic efficacy.
