| The restoration of the production and economic potential of Russian enterprises in the conditions of an economic war necessitates the search for the most effective forms of organizing the activities of firms in supply chains, which make it possible to increase their degree of competitiveness in the markets. The urgency of this task has increased in the context of diplomatic isolation and the imposition of economic sanctions that have affected the collapse of the main technological and logistics chains. In these circumstances, the need to understand which industry structure will give the largest increment in production volumes and the lowest prices while maintaining the stability of supply chains is of particular importance. The purpose of the study is to determine the principles and optimal forms of organizing the activities of firms in supply chains from the standpoint of market efficiency and profitability of the participants themselves. The set goal predetermined the solution of the following tasks: a comparative analysis of two options for the interaction of chain participants was carried out – autonomous functioning and full vertical integration; the model of contractual relations of firms is identified, which allows them to receive maximum profit; the most attractive variant of the chain organization from the position of the consumer (output volumes and prices) was determined; an economic-mathematical model has been developed for calculating the optimal parameters of activity in the supply chain of an industrial enterprise for two opposite models of firms’ behavior. The methodological basis of the study is a synthesis of theoretical, methodological and applied research of foreign and domestic specialists in the field of supply chain management theory, as well as the theory of industry markets. The scientific novelty of the study is a methodical approach to considering the supply chain as a system oriented to the market function of demand, i.e. the activities of all participants in the chain are set up to produce and sell such a volume of goods for which demand is presented. The article proposes a formal model that allows one to analyze the incentives for vertical integration and evaluate the results of alternative strategies for the behavior of firms in the supply chain.

| The subject area of the article is the personnel direction of the activity of small businesses and the peculiarities of their management in modern domestic conditions. The scientific position is argued, according to which the above-mentioned direction has a pronounced specificity that excludes the possibility of using a significant part of both strategic approaches and applied HR technologies that are successfully used in the organization of personnel work at large and even medium-sized businesses. Ignoring this specificity is fraught with both market and purely financial losses for the category of economic entities under consideration due to a fundamental decrease in the effectiveness of the internal HR management system, therefore, an increase in the likelihood of negative realization of various personnel risks of a quantitative and qualitative nature. The purpose of the study is to develop proposals for the choice of strategy and tactics of personnel management of small businesses, fully taking into account the specifics of the personnel direction of their activities. The objectives of the study are to determine the specifics of the functioning of small businesses in the external and internal labor markets, the resulting additional requirements for the organization of personnel work, as well as the development of practice-oriented recommendations for the introduction of applied HR technologies that provide a high degree of social orientation of the personnel management strategy. Research results: the features of the organization of personnel work of small business entities that distinguish them from representatives of other business entities on the scale of business are revealed. Taking into account these features, recommendations on: the choice of strategic approaches to solving the main tasks in the personnel direction of the small business; distribution of powers in the field of personnel management between the director (owner) of a small enterprise, its personnel department and heads of structural divisions; introduction of innovative HR technologies that improve the quality of the human capital of a small business as one of the important factors that ensure its competitive position in the serviced market.
