The multidimensional systemic nature of strategic development is revealed, which can be represented by a set of unified projects of development strategies - a system of strategies. In turn, the draft development strategy can be presented by systems of functional, technological and administrative projects. From an organizational point of view, strategic planning is presented as an evolving and time-structured project containing a strict sequence of technological elements. Financial planning is an infrastructure element in the strategic planning system. The basic principles are formulated on which the methodology of the project presentation of the organization’s strategic development is based as a systematic way of economic thinking, integrated into the needs of the development of the digital economy.

This paper studies the determinants of Russian adult mortality controlling for both individual and household heterogeneity. We employ survival analysis and utilize 12 rounds of the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey spanning a 14-year period. Although confirming the crucial role of excessive alcohol consumption in shaping adult mortality risks in Russia, the results are original in several other respects. We find empirical support for the importance of relative status measured in non-income terms in shaping mortality hazards. We find evidence of the influence of labour market behaviour, and sectoral and occupational mobility in particular, on longevity. The detrimental role of smoking to health is found to be comparable with the role of excess alcohol consumption, which is novel in the Russian context where the influence of smoking is typically downplayed in comparison with alcoholism. Finally, we find no micro evidence in support of the political economy view based on a positive correlation between low alcohol prices and high mortality rates found in regional-level data.
