The study develops an understanding of the environment for the functioning of the self-employed market and provides its current assessment. A model based on the theory of fuzzy sets is used to determine the level of stability of the functioning of the self-employed market in the Russian Federation, specifically through Mamdani fuzzy inference algorithms. The survey sample includes 12 experts, who responded to the survey questions (N = 22) voluntarily. Calculations for the study are performed in Matlab. The results obtained give evidence that the level of stability of the Russian self-employed market equals 0.5, which falls into the third interval of the five-level classification. This set is characterized by the following linguistic definition – the functioning of the market is stable, and its characteristics correspond to the “satisfactory (average)” level. This suggests that the market for the self-employed in the Russian Federation has fairly good potential for growth, as there are no signs of its slowdown.

Las cuestiones relacionadas con el desarrollo del complejo industrial de una región o país en particular en términos de la necesidad de aumentar la competitividad en las condiciones modernas de inestabilidad económica se han discutido en el artículo. La síntesis de métodos de matriz estratégica y análisis factorial con muestreo de datos y consideración para el criterio de normalización de Kaiser es la base metodológica del trabajo. En particular, los métodos incluyen procedimientos para determinar factores de ponderación basados en la clasificación integral de estimaciones de expertos utilizando el método simplex para llevar los datos iniciales al problema de programación lineal. Los autores han llegado a conclusiones que permiten, utilizando un ejemplo específico, determinar las posiciones estratégicas de las empresas e industrias en la región, describiendo posibles caminos para aumentar la competitividad.

The paper contains an analysis of the market structure when the inferior process chain company supplies the superior company with input resources and at the same time is vertically integrated with one of the superior companies. The possible anticompetitive effects of such vertically integrated structures are analyzed as well as the influence of information flows between inferior and superior enterprises of the sector on drivers of innovation and national welfare. These issues are relevant, if important information, in particular, information technology, design and specific characteristics of the product is available to inferior and superior sector enterprises. This situation is typical for high-tech sectors in which the inferior and superior product information exchange needs ensuring compatibility of products and preventing the additional costs of adjustment and increased functionality. The problem of assessing the appropriateness of imposing a ban on various divisions of a vertically integrated company to exchange non-public information received by one of its divisions from external sources is important. In the case of such a restriction, the inferior organizational division of a vertically integrated company may use personal information of the superior competitor only within the powers of its supplier, and cannot make it public for its superior organizational division as an example. The aim of the research is to develop an economic and mathematical model of business struggle with a vertically integrated company in the market. The paper contains the hypotheses and supporting evidence., peer-reviewed
