Abstract: The subject of this article is the principles of management formulated on the basis of ancient Chinese philosophy and psychology, as well as their difference from European management models. The paper explores how the ideas of such thinkers as Lao Tzu, Sun Tzu and Shen Buhai influenced the formation of management practices in ancient China. Special attention is paid to the Taoist approach, which is based on the principles of "non-action" and the hidden influence of the leader, which is opposed to the European traditions of demonstrating power through public events. The article also analyzes how these philosophical approaches can be relevant in the modern world, especially in the context of intercultural interactions and globalization. The study shows that Chinese management principles can contribute to the development of flexible and effective management models adapted to the cultural characteristics of different regions. The research methodology is based on a comparative historical analysis of the philosophical and psychological principles of management in the Chinese and European traditions. The approach of analyzing ancient Chinese treatises is used. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the comparative analysis of the principles of management in the Chinese and European traditions, which is rarely covered in modern management science. Special attention is paid to the Taoist concept of "non-action" and the hidden influence of the leader, which is opposed to Western models based on the demonstration of power through public actions. The article shows that Chinese management ideas, despite their ancient origins, have significant value today, especially in the context of globalization and growing interest in alternative approaches to management. The conclusions emphasize the relevance of applying the philosophical foundations of Taoism to create a harmonious, nonviolent management style in modern organizations, which can help improve the effectiveness and adaptability of leadership, as well as reduce tension and conflict in work processes.

Abstract: Concession agreements and public-private partnership agreements are an urgent subject of research as a tool for the development of sports facilities, especially in conditions of limited budget funds. One of the main advantages of such agreements is the ability to attract private investment through flexible financial instruments such as loans and bonds, which speeds up the implementation of projects. Private companies are also encouraging the introduction of innovative technologies to improve the efficiency of facilities operation. Universities play a key role in the development of sports facilities through such agreements, as this contributes to improving the quality of life of students and strengthening corporate culture. Projects aimed at the development of such facilities open up new prospects for sports, cultural and academic interaction, promote the active integration of campus communities and increase student engagement in a variety of extracurricular activities. The methodological basis of this study was to conduct a detailed analysis of scientific literature and systematization of data obtained from recognized academic resources. In the course of the work, special attention was paid to modern models of interaction within the framework of public-private partnerships, with an emphasis on their impact on the development of sports infrastructure. The literary analysis allowed us to establish the importance of studying the interaction between universities and private developers in order to achieve common benefits: universities receive modernized infrastructure without serious financial costs, and private companies receive a stable source of income. Joint projects implemented within the framework of concession agreements and public-private partnership agreements provide new prospects for both sides, allowing them to create modern sports infrastructure and promote the progress of scientific research in the field of sports. Clusters of non-capital sports facilities are characterized by high flexibility and economic efficiency, which makes them an ideal model for a variety of operating conditions. Due to their versatility, such facilities can be used more actively, which increases their economic attractiveness. Environmental sustainability, as well as the use of the latest technologies such as modular systems and energy-saving equipment, enhance the competitiveness of these clusters, making them more attractive to investors interested in long-term sustainable development.

Abstract: The subject of the study is an approach to sales management based on cumulative margin. The object of the study is a car sales business. The purpose of this study is to determine the essence of cumulative margin and its key features. The automotive business in Russia has been actively developing: brands, cars, customer behavior are changing, and with them approaches to managing the automotive business.

Special attention is paid to the modern approach to managing and improving business efficiency. The methodology of this study is based on methods of system analysis, which allow a deeper understanding of the interrelationships and structures of the subject of research. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that cumulative margin is considered from the point of view of an approach to sales management as a tool to increase business efficiency. As part of the study, a brief analysis of the basic concepts of management and business efficiency improvement was carried out. The definition of cumulative margin is proposed. Management based on the investigated approach is considered from the point of view of the ecosystem. The functions of cumulative margin at the strategic and operational levels of management of the organization are defined. Examples of the use of cumulative margin at different levels are given. The advantages and disadvantages of the investigated approach are presented. Conclusions are formulated regarding the effectiveness of the business management approach based on cumulative margins in the field of car sales. Examples of activities in which management based on cumulative margin may be relevant are given.

Abstract: The article analyzes Russia's experience in managing interregional cooperation, focusing on key concepts and regulatory support, as well as management bodies involved in coordinating interactions between regions. Legislative acts regulating the processes of cooperation and the activities of both state and local management agencies are considered, which allows a deeper assessment of their role in the implementation of interregional projects. Special attention is paid to successful examples such as Ural-Siberia and North-West, which contribute to the development of transport corridors and cultural ties. The article reveals the functions of government bodies, emphasizing the multilevel structure of management of interregional interactions in Russia, which is critical for economic growth, social integration and strengthening the unity of the country. The methodology allows to identify the key factors influencing the effectiveness of interregional cooperation, as well as to assess the role of management structures in the implementation of joint projects. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the systematic analysis of interregional cooperation in Russia, which allows us to identify its unique characteristics and trends. Unlike existing studies, this work focuses on the interaction of federal and local authorities, as well as on the analysis of legislation regulating interregional relations. The findings of the study emphasize that effective interregional cooperation requires an integrated approach, including improved coordination between management levels, the development of a unified legal model and the active participation of regions in federal initiatives. The article also reveals the importance of financing interregional programs, demonstrating their positive impact on the socio-economic development of regions, which is confirmed by concrete examples of successful projects and agreements. Thus, the work makes a significant contribution to understanding the mechanisms and dynamics of interregional cooperation.
