An analysis of the peculiarities of human resources management process implementation at domestic enterprises under conditions of the russian-Ukrainian war is presented in the article. A study of the main factors influencing on the enterprises’ personnel functioning and development is carried out. It is determined that the most negative one is the military and political situation in the country. A significant number of challenges and problems, affecting the efficiency of human resources management is identified, in particular: the necessity to ensure the personnel's physical safety, mobilization of qualified workers for the purpose of country defense, the gradual release and optimization of human resources, an insufficient number of active qualified labor force, a significant deterioration of social and psychological climate within collectives, deformation of communication and reduction in the efficiency of the management system, low (absent) level of readiness for staff inclusion, etc. In addition, it is determined that despite the current situation in the country, it is important and necessary to adjust the personnel management approach to the social norms of Western countries in the process of European integration processes. To increase the efficiency of human resources management and improve the psychological climate at the enterprise, some measures are suggested, aimed at providing psychological support and rehabilitation of employees: introducing flexible work schedules, programs for professional development and increasing the personnel qualifications, strengthening the motivation system through new approaches, using modern information technologies to optimize personnel management, active involvement of external experts to provide advisory assistance on issues of personnel management in wartime, etc. Emphasis is put on the necessity to develop and implement existing professional programs for veterans of war readaptation and resocialization, including the ones at workplaces. It is noted that only a comprehensive approach to the implementation of the above-mentioned measures makes it possible to ensure an efficiency increase of the enterprises’ human resources management systems, which as a result, will have a positive impact on the economic situation in the country.

A comprehensive study of the enterprise’s competitive potential under modern conditions is carried out in the article. Various scientists’ approaches to the definition of "competitive potential" are researched, the main tasks of evaluating the competitive potential of an enterprise are defined. Attention is focused on the necessity to form and develop the enterprise’s competitive potential taking into account its main components (production, labor, financial, marketing, management, innovation potentials). The main principles of the formation of competitive potential and its most important characteristics are presented are presented, in particular: systematization, mutual coordination, adaptability, innovativeness, integration of internal resources and opportunities, rational use of resources, high competitive status, achievement of goals, influence of external and internal factors, support on various stages of the enterprise's life cycle. An analysis of the main factors of the internal and external environments influencing the enterprise’s competitive potential is carried out. Methodical approaches to the enterprise’s competitive potential assessment are presented. The purpose, main tasks and indicators of competitive potential assessment have been clarified. The components of the integral indicator of the assessment of competitive potential are described. A sequence and scale enterprise’s competitive potential assessment is suggested and includes different ranks of enterprises in accordance with the level of competitive potential (high, above average, average, below average, low), which makes it possible to investigate the state and characterize the level of enterprise’s competitive potential. Based on this assessment, it is possible to determine strategies for the enterprise functioning and development in order to ensure growth of its competitive potential in the strategic perspective.

Key features of the country's food security status that is caused by the war and particularly by the decrease of the population's purchasing power, increase of the portion of their expenses for groceries; reduction of the farming lands areas and decrease in number of entrepreneurs; worsening of the indicators of country's ranking in the Global Index of Food Security are revealed and critically evaluated in the article. Various measures of the administrative organizations and institutions to ensure stability of the national food market are characterized. Special attention is stressed on the fact that the liquidation of the institutional basis in food industry is one of the destructive factors that contributes to a complete devastation of agribusiness with the closed cycle of production, export that is focused on raw materials, GDP losses due to the missed food production with added value. The perspective to deepen the processing of the raw materials and expansion of the agri-processing power are proven. In the context of the long-term food self-sustainability of the various regions of Ukraine the expediency to develop a complex program to restore the food production based on the innovative modernization of the business processes and digital capabilities is substantiated. It is stated that in the situation of dynamic challenges it is required for Ukraine to correct the status of the food security in ascending direction based on the determination agrarians' potential modernization. Based on the research results various stabilization measures are suggested and it is concluded that the use of the advanced technologies in food, processing industries and in agriculture will turn food safety into the modulator of the scientific and technological progress of the country. Transition to achieving long-term goals under current uncertainty and in post-war period will require coordination of joint efforts, powerful investment streams with orientation on foreign partners. Transformational processes will change the own model: proper production of the wide range of food products with improved quality standards and under established control of the final product to meet the international standards.

Some aspects of bank strategic management are defined in the article. Efficiency econometric modelling of one of the leading banks operating at Ukrainian financial market was performed using Statistica and Excel PCs. To establish appropriate correlations, the three inputs that were most affected during the coronavirus pandemic were identified: net interest margin, financial leverage ratio, and profitability of personnel costs. There are selected two parameters as one of the main indicators of banking institution efficiency: return on assets and return on equity. The dependences response surfaces of return on assets and return on equity based on the following combinations are constructed: net interest margin and financial leverage ratio; net interest margin and profitability of personnel costs; the financial leverage ratio and profitability of personnel costs. Correlations between different combinations of input variables and their effect on outputs have been established. The limits within which each input parameter should be in order to cause the best results of output parameters have been determined. In order to define those bank's activity areas that require the most attention, models of time dependences have been built for: net interest margin; financial leverage ratio; profitability of personnel costs; return on assets and return on equity. The milestones of the researched bank have been identified. A number of proposals have been developed to improve the strategic management of the banking institution based on the conducted analysis. It is defined that the effectiveness of banking institutions strategic management depends on the timeliness and objectivity of changes forecast, the reliability of information flows and the quality of monitoring and control of various business processes for customers, shareholders and society as a whole.

The effectiveness of industrial enterprises activities in the process of their internationalization with the help of artificial intelligence tools is measured in the article. The advantages of using the method of neural network modeling for solving economic problems and the expediency of its use in conducting this research are explored. Based on the expert estimation and financial data of ten industrial enterprises, using the linear Pearson correlation coefficient, the significance of each of the 25 parameters (subcriteria) that affect the performance of industrial enterprises is established. It is determined that 10 of them have the greatest significance. On the basis this determination a software system of intellectual agents (neural networks) is developed to support the decisionmaking process under uncertain conditions which are directed on the internationalization of industrial enterprises in order to ensure effectiveness of their activities. For the software system of intelligent agents, the method of machine learning of multilayer perceptron (MLP) is used. The value of the average percentage error (MAPE) for estimating the quality of the software system of the intelligent agents is calculated and is equal to 1,2%, which indicates the high accuracy of the obtained results. It is determined that the developed software product can be used to solve other problems in enterprise activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
