This article presents a comprehensive approach to assessing the economic efficiency of investments in energy-saving measures specifically for public utility enterprises. This study contributes to the theoretical and practical justification for using efficiency evaluation criteria, such as net present value (NPV), return on investment (ROI), and internal rate of return (IRR) for energy projects. Analysis revealed that the highest electricity consumption occurs in the winter period—approximately 246,923 kWh when using 90 W lamps operating 16 h per day. In the summer period, with an average daylight duration of 8 h, consumption decreases to 31,298 kWh. This difference is due to the influence of temporal and seasonal factors, highlighting the need for a comprehensive assessment of energy-saving measures’ effectiveness across different times of the year. Furthermore, a methodology for calculating and utilizing the payback ratio was proposed, according to which, by reducing lamp wattage from 90 W to 60 W and operating hours from 16 to 8 h, companies can reduce electricity costs to 21,076 kWh in the summer period, demonstrating potential savings of 1.5 to 2 times. This study also proposes specific financing schemes for energy efficiency projects, enabling the more accurate assessment of needs and the optimization of energy consumption under limited budget conditions and high environmental requirements.

The article presents the results of research into the interdisciplinary issues of the formation and development of intra-economic elites as a key innovative-intellectual mechanism and a corporate resource for ensuring the competitiveness of companies under modern conditions. The need for the selection and continuous development of intra-economic elites, the dissemination of the best corporate practices with the help of focused, highly effective educational technologies has been defined and substantiated. In order to build a consistent process of forming and increasing the intellectual and innovative potential of companies, the feasibility of using micro-qualifications or micro-credit approaches to the educational training of the most effective groups of employees of companies that form or have been included in the intra-economic elite is substantiated.

The main characteristics of this economy are the virtualization of the whole social and economic life, an increase in the share of intellectual spheres of economic management in the real economy, intellectualization of mainly non-intellectual spheres of economic management. The development of the virtual-intellectual economy transforms the management of socio-economic systems and, first of all, of economic entities. New regularities of enterprise management emerge acceleration of the impact of the subject of activity on the object of activity, the impact of the subject of management activity on the object of management activity and event-driven management densification.

Topicality. The publication is devoted to the areas of corporate social development in the processes of production management and personnel relations. The relevance of the article is justified by the fact that national production is in a state of convergence of directions of development of the manufacturing sector with the strategies and processes taking place in the European economic space. Aim and tasks. The main challenge for national governments, supranational regulators is the formation of a food security system for both national and global society. The rapid growth of the world's population encourages consideration of trends in export and domestic production opportunities in this perspective, as 9 billion people are expected to live on Earth by 2050. So far, the demand for food is expected to double, including the demand for oilseeds. This encourages the assessment of the possibility of increasing the production of oil and fat industry, taking into account the potential increase in demand. Materials and methods. In the process of preparing the material of the article were used materials of own research, analytical statistics, publications of leading practitioners and scientists. The following research methods were also used: monographic (for comprehensive and in-depth study of individual phenomena, processes and identification of causal links of their development), system (consists in studies of certain objects as complex systems), statistical (when working with statistical information and analytical calculations). Research results. Based on the analysis, the main directions of further development of the national oil and fat industry are identified, which are to strengthen export orientation and increase sales of oil oils in traditional (EU, Arab countries, India) and new areas (China and USA). The study revealed that in the national oil and fat industry continues to increase capacity for processing, storage and logistics of export operations. Issues of further development and prospects of the national oil and fat industry, as well as problems related to its effective functioning in the deep economic crisis, the introduction of advanced technologies that increase profitability and minimize losses in production, improve the quality of finished products to expand markets In European countries, modern scientific publications are devoted to modern methods of quality control at all stages of the technological process, reform of technical regulation and new aspects of standardization. Scientific controversy continues between supporters of economic performance and supporters of maintaining soil productivity. Conclusion. It was found that the most appropriate for the development of the market for processing sunflower seeds are: compliance with EU Regulations and traceability procedures, which increases the possibility of selling products at reasonable prices, introduction of organic production, increasing the competitiveness of processing plants, more active implementation of European social responsibility practices. relations and formation of relations with the staff.

The article examines the development of the third area of the nanoeconomy – the economy of nanotechnology – and emphasizes the importance of innovation for the country’s economic growth. The authors emphasize the need to create a legislative framework to support nanobusiness, the development of technology parks, and tax incentives. The authors also emphasize the importance of Ukraine’s transition to modern scientific and technical systems for integrating nanotechnology into the economy. The processes of regrouping the country’s regions and creating new clusters are identified, facilitating the interaction of innovative segments of the economies of different regions.
