Social Marketing

Effective marketing approaches in the healthcare system: challenges and opportunities

Modern markets are characterized by a high degree of competition, where each company is faced with the need to compete for the attention of customers in conditions of constant shortage of resources. Effective planning of a marketing strategy and flexibility in its adjustment become key to maintaining positions, because marketing is based on the principle of meeting a wide range of public needs and personal desires of people. In fact, it is the inexhaustibility of these needs that makes the use of marketing tools particularly effective and ensures the stable success of the company in the market. The implementation of a marketing strategy in the company's management provides for a clear division of activities into strategic and operational levels. Strategic marketing focuses on long-term planning and the search for empathy for permanent competitive advantages and implies an analysis of the effectiveness of marketing decisions, which is carried out at several levels, each of which corresponds to a specific stage of strategic planning.

ABC XYZ-customer analysis as the basis for managing the company's customer base

The successful functioning of any enterprise largely depends on the close relationship with consumers, especially in a market economy, but it is the consumer who determines the success or failure of the goods and services offered. Modern information exchange and communication technologies open up opportunities to participate in global competition, where those who are able to respond quickly to changes and offer innovative products and services gain an advantage, but it is knowledge exchange that comes to the fore and begins to play a crucial role in creating a "new economy" based on knowledge and information. Methods such as ABC, XYZ, BCG and VEN analyses are traditionally used in the arsenal of analytical research methods for the customer base, each of which is suitable for different aspects of customer relationship research. ABC analysis stands out in this series as one of the most accessible and at the same time indicative methods, because its popularity is due to the ease of implementation and clarity of the results it provides. The principles underlying ABC analysis are consistent with the Pareto rule, which states that only a small proportion of customers bring the bulk of an organization's profits. Customer base analysis through the lens of ABC and XYZ methods and subsequent BCG analysis is a multidimensional approach to evaluating customer interactions.

Philosophical and culturological aspects of adaptation of migrants

The article deals with the problem of the adaptive potential of host countries, as well as the issues of interaction between different cultures and the adaptation of migrants. It is not classical migration theories that come to the fore, but philosophical and cultural ideas. The analyzed information makes it possible to draw a conclusion about the ideological crisis in the host countries, leading to a decrease in adaptive potential, which, in turn, increases the already existing cultural difficulties in the interaction between migrants and citizens of the host society. In conclusion, ideas were highlighted that could help in the development of adaptation programs for migrants.

Revival of the Russian people’s national unity: socio-cultural features and historical prerequisites

The article is devoted to the socio-cultural characteristics and historical prerequisites for the revival of the national unity of the Russian people, aware of their historical purpose within the framework of a common historical destiny. The authors identify several synchronously occurring processes, simultaneously acting as the leading historical factors that led to the beginning of the revival of the lost national unity of the Russian people and their acquisition of sovereignty. The relevance of this issue in modern realities has increased with the development of processes of consolidation of the Russian ethnos within the framework of the institutional design of the Russian world and the activities of the Russian state to build a just multipolar (polycentric) world order. The preservation of Russian civilization is back on the agenda, as one of the phenomena of world history, which is based on Russian statehood and a unique set of traditional values developed and preserved by the Russian people throughout its centuries-old history.

AI and changing work values, the impact of automation on the perception of work

The modern implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation is transforming traditional labor values, redefining the role of a person in the professional environment. The article examines how technological progress affects the perception of work: the reduced importance of routine tasks shifts the emphasis to creativity, critical thinking and emotional intelligence. Survey data and cases from industries where automation has changed the requirements for employees, causing an increase in demand for adaptability and continuous learning are analyzed. The dual effect is emphasized: on the one hand, increased productivity and new opportunities, on the other - the risks of professional disorientation and inequality. In addition, the author systematizes theoretical approaches to the concept of "labor value" in the digital age, analyzes cases of transformation of the perception of work in sectors with different levels of automation, and formulates some scenarios for the adaptation of labor values to algorithmic management. Based on this, the author concludes that the influence of artificial intelligence on labor values is of fundamental importance to distinguish between traditional and cognitive automation, which determines the qualitative differences in their impact on professional activity.
