Profitability is one of the fundamental directions of the financial stability of enterprises. Resources in nature are finite. Thus, the effective use of resources by each enterprise is of great interest to the public. The Profit is a means of expanding of production, of material incentives, of growth of investments and state revenue. Profit is also used by enterprises to finance employees’ awarding charitable and other programs. So, in order to make the enterprise profitable, it is important for owners, employed personnel, the state, and the whole society. Consequently, the research of the factors that increase the profitability of enterprises is always relevant. Purpose of the article is to create a multifactorial model of profitability. Therefore, the object of research is the system of indicators of profit and profitability. The article discusses different indicators of profit and profitability of the enterprise. On the basis of their logical and qualitative analysis, the most general indicator was selected: the ratio of annual profit (profit before taxation) to total assets. The purpose of the research was exactly to create a new factor model of this indicator. Based on the logical analysis, synthesis and professional judgment methods, eight indicators were selected which influence the profitability change and whose insertion (layout) into one model is possible and reasonable. And the method of so-called absolute difference is used to measure the influence of factors affecting profitability. For the testing of this model, the article uses the data of the Teliani Valley financial information of the Georgian wine company. This company was very interesting because it was the most financially stable and high-profile one but it became unprofitable for the past three years. As a result of the logical and empirical analysis of the factor-indicators of the new multi-factor model, it is obvious that this model can be used in all branches of the economy, except for commercial banks. Annual use of this factor model of profitability will be intellectual assistance for management of companies in order to find negative factors for profitability change and to make relevant decisions.

The purpose of the study. The purpose of the study is to develop scientifically based proposals to increase the university performance indicators in the international institutional rating QS to the required values, taking into account the presence of a combination of latent (hidden) factors, the degree of achievement of the set values of the basic indicators and, as a result, the university ranking level.Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, methods of statistical analysis (correlation-regression and factor analysis) were used, which made it possible to identify the degree of influence of latent factors on basic indicators and the main indicator (rating functional). During the study, the following tasks were solved: identification of latent factors affecting the basic indicators of the university, an assessment of their significance and degree of influence on the basic indicators, as well as their grouping. Based on the results of the correlation - regression and factor analysis, measures are formulated to achieve the specified values of the QS University institutional rating indicators.Results. An approach to solving the problem of providing conditions for achieving the required values of university performance indicators in the international institutional ranking QS using models developed based on the methods of correlation-regression and factor analysis is proposed. Estimates of the relationship of indicators and university ranking based on the methods of correlation and regression analysis are obtained. A comparative analysis of the results obtained at the universities of the reference group is made. The problem of identifying factors that influence the change in the values of indicators is solved; the degree of this influence is assessed. Based on the results obtained, reasonable proposals have been developed to achieve the required values of the basic indicators and the rating functional of the university.Conclusion. The results obtained in the course of the study made it possible to justify the measures necessary to solve the problem of achieving the specified performance indicators of the university. Based on the correlation model, correlation dependencies between the rating functional and basic indicators are obtained. Interpretation of the results of factor analysis allowed us to identify a set of factors that have a significant impact on the basic indicators. It is shown that measures to achieve the specified indicators must be carried out taking into account the revealed correlation dependencies between factors and basic indicators, as well as the interpretation results of the developed factor model.

Entrepreneurship, traditionally seen as a male preserve, has witnessed increasing participation from females in recent years. Across the world, the number of enterprises being run by women is growing exponentially. Nepal is not an exception to this emerging trend. However, there are embedded structural and socio-cultural constraints which pose a challenge to the growth of women entrepreneurs and the stability of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Nepal. Through qualitative research, this article attempts to study the phenomenon of the entrepreneurship of women and explore the status-quo and the policy framework for female entrepreneurs in Nepal. This article explores the current entrepreneurial environment for Nepalese women, as well as the issues and challenges associated with it. This study was conducted within the Kathmandu valley and samples of the study were drawn from various stakeholders comprising of financial institutions, government agencies, I/NGOs, venture capitalists and women entrepreneurs. The data required for the study was obtained via in-depth personal interviews, key informants’ interviews and literature reviews from a variety of well-researched journals and articles. The six-factor model, inclusive of social, economic, competitive, facilitating, locational and political aspects identified by Bulsara, Chandwani and Gandhi (2014), has been assessed to understand the inherent challenges. Additionally, a political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal (PESTEL) framework has been used to analyse insights from current women in the Nepalese entrepreneurial ecosystem. This study revealed that the process of lengthy documentation, bureaucratic hassles, political uncertainty, unconducive business environments, corruption, strikes, and unionization are the concurrent factors affecting the entrepreneurial environment in Nepal. On the policy side, though an amendment has been made in the Nepal Enterprise Act to support the entrepreneurship of women, the effectiveness of the policy support is still questioned.

The Impact

Using factor model and fixed or random effect approaches, this article studies the factors affecting the rate of return on the stocks listed on the Vietnamese stock market. The results show that the rate of return is affected by the two factors: inflation and the Nikkei index as an indicator of regional economy. The impact of inflation is much more powerful. The strongest impact of the unexpected inflation is found in industrial sector and consumption while enterprises with good business performance only suffer a milder effect. The impact of Nikkei index on local stocks is rather weak but less dispersed.

The subject of the research is transport logistics, namely, a complex of factors affecting it, grouped by risk, and advantages by type of transport when carrying out transportation of any modality. The purpose of the study is the development of a factor model in transport logistics, that is, a universal methodology for assessing the risks of each shipment, taking into account the advantages of the types of transport used and the combination of cargo vehicles. The main method used in the work is factor analysis. The study also uses methods of generalization, ranking, weight fractions and comparative analysis. It is shown that 24 factors grouped in the work by risk level have an impact on transport logistics; 11 groups of advantages by types of transport have been identified. The formula for assessing the overall risk of transportation is universal, it confirms the theoretical conclusions of researchers in the field of logistics and provides objective results for specific types of transportation. The most and least risky types of freight transport are identified. The possibilities of the factor model in transport logistics are shown. The results of the study can be used by suppliers and carriers to assess the potential efficiency of cargo transportation, as well as by logistics researchers to improve the methodology of factorial transport assessment. The reserves have been identified for the development of the model based on the mutual influence and factor structure.

Adolescent courtship is emerging as an important developmental process which impacts social balance and adjustment in the teenage years. Both the cultural context and different individual competencies seem to determine the success or failure of this process. However, there is little research focusing on the direct relationship between interpersonal skills and adolescent courtship, possibly due to the lack of suitable instruments to measure it. This study takes this process further by adapting a multifactorial measurement of Interpersonal Competence to the framework of adolescent courtship (Adolescent Interpersonal Competence Questionnaire for Courtship (AICQc)), and by analyzing these skills according to gender and age. A total of 1584 adolescents (48.9% girls and 51.1% boys) between the ages of 12 and 17 who were in compulsory secondary education participated in the study. Based on the factor model proposed by Buhrmester et al., the Confirmatory Factor Analysis showed the validity of the instrument and a high internal consistency for five independent domains of competence: (a) initiating relationships; (b) assertiveness and the ability to say no; (c) self-disclosure; (d) providing emotional support; and (e) resolving conflicts. Age, as measured by the school year, was found to be a key factor in this regard. The results are discussed in terms of assessing interpersonal competence for relationships. There has been little research into this type of interpersonal competence and it is a key factor in facing the important developmental task for first-time couples of choosing a partner and managing adolescent courtship.
