This article describes the current strategizing of sustainable construction in Moscow and the Moscow Region and compares the Russian experience with the best practices in this sphere. The authors analyzed the economic feasibility, efficiency, and risks of introducing green technologies in the metropolitan construction sector. Moscow and the Moscow Region are gradually shifting to green methods. As new technologies penetrate all areas of public life, the state introduces sustainable technologies into urban development, e.g., electric cars, environmentally friendly public transport, green belts, etc. Despite these trends, the authorities and the population need more time to realize the importance of sustainable technologies in urban construction. The article offers some strategic recommendations for the development of green building in Moscow and the Moscow Region.

Modern macroeconomic realities have made it necessary to adjustment the methodological tools used in the development of hydrocarbon reserves, state regulation of pricing for oil and gas products in the domestic market, ensure the stability of legal and tax regimes, the creation of supportive institutional and infrastructure conditions. To develop proposals for improving the methodological tool for the integrated development of hydrocarbon reserves, to highlight the directions for the strategic development of the oil and gas complex at the current stage of economic relations. The object of scientific research is considered from the standpoint of system-functional and comprehensive approaches. Adjustment of methodological tools is the direction of strategic development of the oil and gas complex of Russia, is associated with ensuring economic stability in conditions of external challenges, national security and energy sustainability, achieving technological sovereignty and reaching faster economic growth rates. In the context of external challenges, the priorities of the state energy policy are the uninterrupted functioning of the sectors of the fuel and energy complex, the promotion of the economic and technological development of oil and gas enterprises, the systematic achievement of the targets laid down in the programs and documents of strategic development.

The domestic IT sector needs new strategic approaches to form the national technological foundation for the Russian IT industry that would fulfil the tasks of national security, import substitution, and technological sovereignty. The authors analyzed federal documents on strategic planning that control the Russian IT sector. The industrial disunity of these documents proved to be a major problem: it resulted in a segmented approach to supporting the IT development. The current instruments of state support are governed by the stimulating approach to the IT sector as a whole and its areas. In the current conditions, this measure is not enough to resolve the problems related to the development of domestic IT products and services. Based on the current situation analysis and the problems identified, the author proposed a new strategic approach to the IT sector development. It aims at designing a single complex strategy that covers all industries of the Russian IT sector. As a result, the state support system should move from its current stimulating paradigm to a program-targeted one.

The Strategy of Spatial Development of the Russian Federation through 2025 failed to realize the potential of interregional and intermunicipal interaction, which makes it a key problem of the country’s spatial development. Spatial integration implies a scientific approach to the priorities and tools that would consolidate the potential of stakeholders and regions. This issue is especially relevant for the Northern territories, which make up two-thirds of Russia’s total area. To substantiate strategic priorities and tools of spatial integration, the author identified the essence and prerequisites for spatial integration of Russia’s European North, as well as analyzed the institutional, legal, and instrumental support for strategizing its spatial integration. The strategic priorities and tools in question are aimed at revealing the competitive advantages of each region and restoring the bond between urban and rural areas. The study relied on the theory and methodology of strategizing developed by Professor Vladimir L. Kvint. Using the monographic and comparative methods, the author analyzed strategic planning documents, regulatory legal acts, and reports made by development institutions. The spatial integration is currently provided by deepening the socio-economic unity of the regions. Russia’s European North has obvious prerequisites for integration, but the poor institutional, legal, and instrumental support remains the key obstacle. A vertical integration design center should be organized to develop the interregional value chains. Cities are the nods in these integration chain: their regional and industrial priorities are to be identified and strategized. A stronger inter-municipal cooperation between rural and urban areas will make it possible to activate the potential of remote territories. These measures and priorities should be implemented in the federal and macroregional strategy systems.

Unequal regional development means a gap between economic indicators and the well-being of the local population. This issue interests scientific communities from countries with different economic backgrounds. China still experiences economic differences between Eastern, Central, and Western regions, as well as an intraregional gap between rural and urban areas. The state measures of economic, social, and territorial cohesion include regional development strategies, infrastructure development, and the One Belt, One Road initiative. According to Professor V. L. Kvint, favorable investment climate forms regional competitiveness. As a result, the local economy attracts developing companies while maintaining or improving the standard of living of all stakeholders. China’s experience with its economic boom may help to resolve the global issue of interregional inequality while serving as a model for other states on the path to socio-economic shift. The article describes the Chinese experience in overcoming regional inequality caused by various socioeconomic reasons. The author studied the socio-economic situation in the Pearl River Delta to conduct its OTSW analysis and formulate recommendations based on the Chinese experience.

Strategic branding helps to build a recognizable image and a good business reputation by bringing the key objectives across to the target audience. A recognizable university brand attracts students and faculty while improving the business reputation for the whole industry. The national light manufacturing industry is experiencing a critical talent shortage. By increasing their attractiveness, higher education institutions of light industry and fashion may attract labor resources because their academic reputation depends on that of the industry. The author described the branding of higher education institutions that train specialists for the light industry and fashion enterprises. The research relied on the theory and methodology of strategizing developed by Professor V. L. Kvint. The topic of strategic branding in the light industry and fashion remains understudied. Most related publications registered in elibrary.ru feature digitalization, trend analysis, and historiography. This study focused on the concept and strategic approaches to academic branding. The analysis of Russian higher education institutions yielded a model of developing a university strategic brand that would attract students with good intellectual potential in the sphere of light industry and fashion. Foreign authors describe the strategic branding of higher education organizations as the result of the market economy development. In Russia, the last three decades have seen a considerable development in the strategic branding at the university level. This paper can facilitate further research and branding practice.

Material and non-material incentives are closely interconnected as part of strategic motivation systems. In high-tech industries, the time factor affects the choice of incentives and strategic motivation. Strategic motivation is one of the three functions of strategic management. As a result, it has a crucial impact at each stage of strategizing. The article introduces an algorithm for identifying and substantiating the correlation between the incentives of the strategic motivation system at high-tech enterprises, as well as the effect of the time factor on each incentive and the motivation system as a whole. The research relied on the theory of strategy and the methodology of strategizing developed by Professor V. L. Kvint. It yielded a brief and an extended scheme of incentives, as well as a block-vector strategic motivation scheme for a hi-tech enterprise with a step-by-step operating algorithm. The schemes demonstrated good application prospects for the sphere of strategizing.

Residential property market is a key element of the regional socio-economic system. It affects the quality of life, as well as the construction sector, banking, labor market, etc. When it goes through an emergency period, the local housing market has a serious multiplier effect on the development pace of the entire economic system in the region. An emergency period means a price surge, long-term speculative investments, a growing debt burden for all market agents, and a deteriorating life quality. To identify opportunities and manage the regional housing market in an emergency period, analytics should understand the strategic importance of the market and take into account global fluctuations. The author applied the theory of strategy and the methodology of strategizing developed by Professor V. L. Kvint to the current emergency period in the Moscow housing market. The article introduces a new method for assessing the impact of the local socio-economic indicators on the progress of the emergency period in the Moscow residential property market. The recommendations may facilitate the process of strategizing the development of the real estate market in the regions.
