Assessment of the Impact of Social Responsibility of Integrated Business Forms on Regional Development

Abstract

Research has shown that the current entrepreneurial environment promotes the formation and growth of integrated interaction forms. These integrated relationships foster alignment among key stakeholders, including partners, consumers, employees, society, and government authorities, emphasizing the importance of social responsibility. A particularly pressing issue is the implementation of social responsibility through integrated forms as a community, necessitating further research to evaluate their impact on regional socio-economic development. Using statistical data and regression analysis, researchers developed a model to assess how regional employment and unemployment rates, alongside the inflation index, influence the effect of integration forms on socio-economic development. Normative fluctuations for unemployment (2%) and employment (7,5%) in the region were identified. The regression analysis resulted in the calculation of an indicator (IF_avg) - to measure the contribution of integrated forms to socio-economic development. This indicator enables the assessment of whether such forms positively impact regional development. Testing this approach on the construction company "Gefest" in the Odessa region demonstrated a positive impact, with a calculated result of 1,26%. While these findings provide initial insights, they are not without limitations. Future improvements could incorporate additional indicators such as investment volume, innovative activity levels, and labor productivity to refine the model and enhance its accuracy in evaluating the influence of integration forms.
