Growing negative changes cause a deterioration in food quality, which makes people select organic and eco-intelligent food. The aim of the article is to analyze various types of customer behavior using an example of a local catering company that offers eco-intelligent food. The company’s brand operates two catering stores located in different parts of an urban city. The interview of existing and potential customers was conducted within 1,000-meter radius of store locations at peak hours (7:30–10:00 am and 12:00–2:30 pm). The model of consumer behavior is centered on the main principle of deciding to buy eco-intelligent food. The data suggest that customers are looking for additional necessary services, which are vital for eco-intelligent products and expanded selection according to the store’s format. Both the time of the ordering processing and the ability to order a personalized meal have the main influence on customers’ decision. Large selection of eco culinary products in the stores attracts local residents to visit one of these stores at least once a week. An essential feature of a culinary store offering eco-intelligent food is high-quality prepared food. The study recommends expanding promotional programs to give consumers additional knowledge about the advantages of organic nutrition. The prevalent consumer model describes a woman under 40 years old who visits a store at least once a week for lunch and prefers a comfortable environment and a diverse selection of quality eco-food.

Analysis of eSports as a commercial activity
Natalia Lokhman , Oksana Karashchuk , Olena Kornilova doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/ppm.16(1).2018.20Problems and Perspectives in Management Volume 16, 2018 Issue #1 pp. 207-213 Views: 4022 Downloads: 1052 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThe article deals with eSports as a perspective kind of commercial activity. The research urgency is determined by the fact that, given the active increase of eSports market with growth rates of more than 30% per year, the types of commercial activities in this field and in scientific papers are not studied in an adequate degree.
The purpose of the article is to evaluate the commercial activity development in eSports and to determine the perspectives for its further growth in Ukraine. In order to determine the key types of commercial activity in eSports, the main sources of revenue in this area compared to sports were investigated, which showed a large unrealized potential for increasing revenues from the sale of tickets to competitions, the realization of broadcasting rights and merchandising. The study also showed that the largest number of income sources in eSports is at the stage of cyber-tournaments, which can be explained by a large consumer audience at this stage. However, unlike the esports world practice, computer game producers and well-known manufacturers of consumer goods in Ukraine do not finance domestic competitions, and, therefore, this stage of commercial activity remains at a low level. In modern conditions, among the types of eSports activities in Ukraine, only the computer games production and the cyber-racers game are properly developed.
According to authors, to improve the eSports development in Ukraine, creating the national system of regular eSports competitions is needed, which will form the basis for the development of most types of commercial activities that are part of the cyber-tournaments. To do this, one needs to create appropriate platforms, as well as improve communications with fans in social networks and at amateur competitions. All this will make eSports a highly profitable business in Ukraine.

Financial sustainability management of the insurance company: case of Ukraine
Ruslana Pikus , Nataliia Prykaziuk , Mariia Balytska doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/imfi.15(4).2018.18Investment Management and Financial Innovations Volume 15, 2018 Issue #4 pp. 219-228 Views: 3535 Downloads: 299 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯIn the current conditions of the Ukrainian economy, which is characterized by crisis phenomena and frequent changes in legislation, the insurance organizations are facing a number of difficulties in maintaining their financial sustainability. Moreover, these processes take place under the increased requirements for solvency of insurers. However, a significant part of domestic insurance companies is financially unstable, which is conditioned not only by the lack of funds, but also by the low level of management. This situation hinders the further development of the insurance market in Ukraine and has a negative impact on all areas of the domestic financial system and prevents it from successful integration into the European financial field. In order to address this problem, it is necessary to distinguish the key groups of risks that affect the financial sustainability of insurance organizations, among which there are the following: insurance, strategic, market risk, risk of inefficient capital structure, risk of limiting the insurance company’s liquidity, tax risk, investment risk, operational risk, the risk of ineffective organizational structure of the enterprise, and information risk. It should be noted that under conditions of changing environment, the impact of these risks only increases, and therefore the task of minimizing the impact of these risks on the activities of insurance companies is highly important. Accordingly, the authors of the article proposed a four-stage strategy to manage the financial sustainability of the insurance company, the purpose of which is to identify the risks of limiting the insurer’s financial sustainability, their qualitative and quantitative assessment, as well as the development and implementation of appropriate measures to minimize and eliminate unacceptable consequences.

The peculiarities of economic crisis due to COVID-19 pandemic in a developing country: case of Ukraine
Problems and Perspectives in Management Volume 18, 2020 Issue #2 pp. 13-22 Views: 2377 Downloads: 355 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯAt the beginning of 2020, the world faced the most frightening threat to the population’s health – COVID-19 pandemic. For this reason, the international institutions, governments of countries and various organizations are forced to use unprecedented restrictive measures in many spheres of activity. As a result, the economies of the countries all over the world are significantly affected and are on the verge of crisis. This paper presents examples of economic consequences of COVID-19 pandemic for different countries of the world and analyzes still few scientific works, which study the influence of pandemic on their economies. The article generalizes the legislative and anti-crisis measures of the Ukrainian Government, as well as the National Bank of Ukraine and other state authorities. It is evidenced that at the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020, Ukraine witnessed a significant decrease in GDP growth rate, reduction of industrial production and electricity production. The financial indicators also underwent significant losses, particularly the unemployment rate increased as thousands and thousands of labor migrants have returned to Ukraine from European and other countries. The article proves the inconsistency and unprofessionalism of such restrictive and regulatory measures. Finally, the necessity is substantiated to combine the methods of market economy and state regulation. The compulsory steps are offered, which would minimize the losses of the state and its population during this economic crisis.
