Ukraine has shown a commitment to embracing
digital advancements in public administration, as
seen in the approval of the “Concept of the
development of digital competences and the
approval of the plan of measures for its
implementation” (Order No 167, 2021) This
strategic framework aims to integrate
technologies such as social, mobile, cloud, data
analytics, and the Internet of Things to enhance
public administration effectiveness. Initiatives
such as interoperability, open data, and electronic
identification align with European standards and
aim to boost transparency, efficiency, and
collaboration. Despite these efforts, Ukraine
faces constraints in digitalization, including
technological, infrastructural, regulatory, and
socio-economic factors.
The results obtained during the study confirm the
conclusions of other scientists. In particular, it is
important to agree with the conclusions of Sayed
(2023) regarding the use of certain business
practices in modern public administration, which
is provided by state authorities. Similarly, the
proposed study confirmed the results of
Volokhova & Evseenko (2016). Volokhova &
Evseenko (2016) offer new definitions of vectors
for the development of innovative
methodological approaches to the study of social
responsibility in the field of risk management.
On the basis of the obtained results, it is possible
to confirm the hypothesis of the specified
researchers that, under modern circumstances, an
important renewal of the public administration
system is taking place in Ukraine. At the same
time, if they emphasized the digitalization of
such management as a deep prospect, it is evident
in the proposed study that such prospects did not
require a long time to be realized. It is worth
agreeing with the general concepts of Jurczak
(2016), who believed that the use of intellectual
capital is an important factor in the provision of
qualified administrative services. As indicated in
the study, despite the numerous challenges, one
of the ways of further improvement is the
involvement of high-level specialists with
relevant skills and knowledge not only in the
professional field, but also in the ability to
communicate with service users. By the way,
similar conclusions were also reached by other
scientists who identified the importance of
training and training of personnel as important
elements of the further reform of public
administration (Bodemann, 2018; Kish, 2023).
Instead, the conclusions of Razumei and
Razumei (2021), which suggest prematurely
turning to the experience of leading countries and
abandoning the paper circulation of
documentation, seem premature. Under the
current conditions in Ukrainian realities, such
initiatives look premature against the background
of not only the usual risks proposed in the article,
but also due to the armed aggression of the
Russian regime.
It is important to understand the limitations of
such a methodology. For example, limited
availability of data on corporate social
responsibility and risk management practices are
big issues for further discussions. Another
limitation is complexity in measuring corporate
social responsibility and the impact of risk
management on this metric. The third one is
heterogeneity of approaches to defining
corporate social responsibility and risk
management across different countries and
industries.In summary, innovative research
methodologies for studying social responsibility
in the field of risk management highlighted the
intersection of these two areas and offering new
perspectives for analysis and evaluation.
Conclusions
During the research analysis, it was determined
that innovative approaches in the management of
public affairs in Ukraine are key to achieving
strategic goals. It has been proven that the
development and implementation of innovative
mechanisms are of decisive importance for
creating a favorable environment for innovation
and the implementation of advanced scientific
achievements in the activities of public bodies.
These innovative mechanisms operating at
different levels – macro-, regional, and micro-
levels — contribute to the formulation of the
state's innovation development strategy, the
creation of a favorable climate for innovation in
the national economy, and the implementation of
state innovation projects. It is proven that these
mechanisms are important for adaptation to
various characteristics of regions at the regional
level and are key in the conditions of
decentralization of power at the local level,
ensuring optimal use of resources and
implementation of development projects of
united territorial communities.
At the micro level, innovation mechanisms are
catalysts for the development of creative
thinking, research and successful
implementation of innovations, with the active
participation of civil society, which emphasizes
the importance of their participation in the
innovation process.
