Aistė Čapienė — 2019-10-06

Sustainable consumption is becoming increasingly important in today's society, which is living under conditions of increasing globalization, growing population and increased consumption. Research into sustainable consumption behavior is becoming increasingly relevant, requiring a deeper understanding of this phenomenon. The findings of previous studies have revealed the inconsistency of consumer behavior between the intention and a real action. The aim of the study is to identify research trends of attitude-behavior gap, to analyze the most commonly consumer behavioral theories and to provide a theoretical consumer attitude-behavior gap model that reveals the influence factors. Research Methodology: review of scientific articles from the last twenty years, evaluating the theoretical aspects of the sustainable consumer behavior gap between intention and action. The information is grouped and structured in order to determine the theoretical directions of the sustainable consumption attitude - behavior gap and to provide a theoretical summary of this phenomenon. Based on the theoretical analysis, a conceptual sustainable consumption attitude - behavior gap model is created that reveals the influence factors.

FORMALIZATION OF THE EDUCATION FUNDING RULES AS A PUBLIC MANAGEMENT INSTRUMENT

Irina Radionova — 2019-10-06

The authors of the article have assumed that public management of the economy must rely on certain formalized rules regarding funding certain spheres. The purpose of the article is to implement two interrelated approaches towards education funding rules formalization with an emphasis on the ‘idea of the rule’ and on the … quantitative assessment of the density of relations between variables. The actual formalization of the rules was regarded by the authors as a substantiation - theoretical and econometric - of the links between endogenous variables, which in this study are indicators of education financing, and exogenous variables. Macroeconomic, resource, innovation indicators are considered as exogenous variables. Three equations have been obtained. They are interpreted as guidelines for the government's action plan, respectively, for certain changes initiated in the education funding process

ECOLOGIZATION OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONS ON THE PRINCIPLES OF GLOСALIZATION

Olena Hetman — 2019-10-06

The success of the country's economic policy depends on successful combination of the global world trends and national / regional peculiarities of economic development. The implementation of the principles of glocalization to the regional innovation policy is able to overcome the limited local approach and negative global manifestations, thus creating a unique, globally competitive innovative product. In the innovation sphere, processes of glocalization manifest themselves in the complementarity of local factors of innovative development, in particular, the unique innovation environment, human and social capital, with global factors of innovative development. We propose to consider processes of ecologization of innovative development of the region as a catalyst for the processes of market gloсalization, which will promote sustainable development of the regional economy. The aim of this work is to explore scientific approaches to ecologization of innovation development, which will determine the direction, peculiarities and nature of the processes of glocalization, and will be their modern accelerator. The research methodology is systematization of approaches to the direction of innovation processes for the development, creation and implementation of innovations in the form of new products, technology, method, form of production organization, etc., which directly or indirectly contributes to reducing the environmentally destructive effects of production and consumption on the environment and solving environmental problems. Results of the research. The final result of ecologization of innovation activity in the region is a positive socio-ecological and economic effect, which ensures balanced sustainable development of the region and the state as a whole. Thus, the modern accelerator of the glocalization of economic processes is the ecologization of innovation development, in the nature of which there are incentives for self-development, reproduction, generation of innovative ideas, production of new technologies, goods and services, ensuring the balancing of the socio-ecological and economic potential of the region and the country as a whole, which determines the direction, peculiarities and nature of the processes of glocalization.

Jolanta Vilkevičiūtė — 2019-10-06

Public and private partnership has been seen as an important factor in delivering high quality public services by upgrading or creating public infrastructure. By disposing of resources of different sectors in a sustainable manner, utilizing their advantages, it is possible to satisfy the needs of the society qualitatively and efficiently, which the state is constitutionally obliged to ensure and satisfy when performing its functions. Sectors are different; therefore, the analysis of these differences requires finding the points of interaction.

The article sought to elucidate the theoretical aspects of PPPs using scientific databases and opinions of various authors. Structured questionnaires (public and private) assess the advantages and disadvantages of PPP forms. Potential operational opportunities related to EU and Lithuanian PPP strategic and programming documents were proposed.
