Strong spatial development disparity is a characteristic feature of the national economic system. On the base of the retrospective analysis, the paper made an attempt to justify the reasons for the polarization of spatial organization of the domestic economy at the present stage. To achieve goals set in the study, the authors analyzed the scientific papers that are widely accepted and implemented in the field of spatial development. This allowed identifying two alternative models of the economy spatial organization in the history of national economy development. The first model is a model of the uniform territory development, which characteristic feature is the equalization of regional development levels by the state. The second model is a model of competitive development of territories that characterized by the concentration of production factors in the most competitive regions.

The authors determined the principal differences between two models under consideration: maximization of profit of the economic entities as opposed to the priority of reducing the production costs at the state enterprises; economic independence of the economic entities instead of the centralized planning; priority of the intensive (innovative) development instead of the extensive (industrial) growth; the policy of focused development of basic regions (growth poles) instead of the policy of equalization of economic development.

To identify special aspects of the spatial organization of the modern national economy, the authors analyzed the concept of the development of territorial industrial complexes which underlies the model of the uniform economic development of a territory. The authors identified the issues determined by the characteristic features of the Soviet industrial heritage and affecting socio-economic development of territories at the modern stage. It is proved that the model of a uniform economic development of a territory did not fully correspond to the objective processes of evolution of the productive forces distribution. As the result, Soviet heritage influenced negatively the modern spatial organization of the national economy. Based on the results of the study, the issue of searching for a new model of spatial development, unique for our country, is actualized. This model should take into account both the specifics of a competitive model and the mechanisms of locating the productive forces that are successfully used in the planned economy.

Under the modern conditions, the study on the regional library science is very important. Against the social-economic and cultural development of the Azerbaijan Republic, the study of the library-information infrastructure and the generalization of scientific results are the priority issues for the researchers. Sheki-Zagatala economic region stands out from other ten economic regions of the Azerbaijan Republic by its specific features. The paper considers some issues of the library-information infrastructure of Sheki-Zagatala economic region, especially, various factors influencing the formation of the library-information resources and addresses scientific and methodological issues of the regional library science related to the system researches in this sphere in the Azerbaijan Republic starting from the nineties of the 20th century. The issues of organization of mixed poly-ethnic reader audience formed in the region of the library-information service are theoretically and methodologically important. The paper explains some aspects of the modern situation, problems and development perspectives of the library-information infrastructure of Sheki-Zagatala economic region. The author gives the assessment of work of local and foreign experts on the scientific-theoretical and methodological issues of regional library science developed various approaches, offered various expectations; in particular, they are the librarians, bibliographers, documenters, informants, and social media specialists. The author presents the justified analysis of the concepts of the regional library to determine the information significant for the region. Moreover, the concept of regional library science development in the research sense is put forward which is interrelated theoretically with other sciences such as economics, jurisprudence, cybernetics, and automatics. Such directions as regional development, the legal basis of regional information support, regional cybernetics, and regional automated information projects are involved in the research in the abovementioned sense.

The paper presents the transformation of the pharmaceutical industry contractors’ interactivity related to the tendencies of digitalization and globalization of the economic systems at the micro-, macro- and mega-levels. Business simulation and algorithm development of the processes of the market participants’ interaction at the remote level are the instruments of the development of the electronic business of the chemical-engineering industry.

The paper covers business simulation of the digital system of the joint-stock company “Medisorb” in the B2G, B2B, B2C sectors on the basis of developing business platforms and algorithms. The authors developed a business model showing the interaction of the joint-stock company “Medisorb” with the international partner companies, the main of which are: the near abroad countries and the CIS countries such as Latvia, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Moldova, Mongolia, etc. Sales of cluster products at the Russian level are carried out through the largest pharmaceutical companies such as JSC NPK “Katren”, JSC “Imperia Pharma”, LLC “BSS”, FC “Puls”, GC “Protek”. The authors pay attention to the issue of implementing the process of remote commercial operations as the important stage of formation of the electronic business. In the course of the research, the algorithm for implementing electronic ordering of the products for the enterprises of the B2G and B2B sectors and the algorithm for implementing electronic ordering of products for B2C enterprises are developed.

This business model will allow ensuring the effective implementation of the program for the development of the digital economy in the Russian Federation and one of the most important industries, namely, the pharmaceutical industry.

The success of any business depends on the rational management of the processes taking place in an organization. The optimal application of all types of the resources: material, intellectual, and technological, allows achieving the desired goals in the shortest and the most economical way. The information technologies transformed the understanding of a communication system, allowed managing the processes at a distance, forming and transforming the information in a new way. Despite the opportunities appeared, most top managers of the companies continue to rely on the traditional classical principles and methods of management. It is caused by the established long-standing habits and the unwillingness to change to keep up with the times. Moreover, there is still quite a few of practical information that could be taken as the basis for decision making in the sphere of modern management. The paper considers various approaches to the organization of distance activity in the conditions of the information economy, presents the characteristics of open-type organizations, their advantages, and disadvantages. The authors indicate the main reasons for the transition to the remote management, The main steps for the successful implementation of the activity in the modern conditions are listed, the criteria for the transition to the remote management, both for new and existing organizations, are identified. The restrictions on the types of activity hampering the process of a changeover from the traditional form of management to the remote (virtual) one are indicated. The paper displays the scheme of decision-making and the method of scenario analysis of the key factors for the successful implementation of the remote management mechanism by an “open” organization. The approbation of the results suggested was carried out by the operating company. The authors presented the expert assessment of the main criteria of the operating efficiency, raised the questions for the further study of the problem of effective management of an organization using the remote principles.
