Allocating fixed costs with undesirable data has recently been one of the most important issues for managers to discuss. Lack of attention to undesirable data may lead to incorrect cost allocation. Considering and determining undesirable inputs and outputs, data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique can be significantly helpful in determining the cost allocation strategy. In-puts and outputs are divided into two desirable and undesirable groups. Obviously, desirable inputs and undesirable outputs must be reduced and undesirable inputs and desirable outputs must be increased to improve performance. This manuscript presents two strategies for allocating fixed costs with undesirable data. In the first strategy, each decision making unit (DMU) first determines the minimum and maximum shares that it can receive from the fixed resources while the efficiency of that DMU and other DMUs re-mains the same after receiving the fixed resources. Finally, the decision maker chooses the fixed cost for each DMU between the minimum and maxi-mum cost values proposed. In the second strategy, the allocation of fixed costs is done using the CCR multiplicative model with undesirable data. The effectiveness of both methods is examined by an applied study on the commercial banks.

The purpose of this study is to develop proposals for the introduction of ecological, digital, professional, innovation and social public procurements in the national strategy on E-Public Procurement Reform and the strategy of procurements on the company-customer level. The relevance of this study is due to the need to ensure the development of “smart”, sustainable, inclusive economy, which will help reduce unemployment, poverty, facilitate access for people with disabilities to work, create opportunities for the education of young people and adults, stimulate innovations, meet expectations of citizens, solve environmental problems, carry out digital transformations taking into consideration the best world practices. The share of public procurements in expenditures of the state budget and gross domestic product of Ukraine, the dynamics of the procurement’s participants in the B2G segment is evaluated. In Ukraine, the largest share of expenditures falls on security and social protection, however, the prosperity index in these categories is critical (“red” zone). In order to form The E-Public Procurement Strategy, the best world practices of introducing innovative, environmental and social procurement criteria should be considered. Strategic directions of public procurement, namely – ecological, digital, professional, innovation and social, which provide sustainable and inclusive development of economy, are proposed.

The bibliometric study aims to map and expand respective knowledge by establishing connections between important actors in academic research regarding the government venture capitals (GVCs). The scope is to analyze documents published on Scopus database starting from 2011 to 2020.  Accordingly, the United States (U.S.) is the top country in all categories with China catching up. Alperovych, Quas, and Colombo are top co-authors. On the other hand, Leleux, Grilli, Lerner and Cumming are prolific authors. Articles by Grilli and Li Y are two most cited documents. Investments, venture capital, economics, public policy, and government are most co-occurrence index keywords. Research policy, venture capital, and journal of technology transfer, journal of business venturing and small business economics are top sources of cited documents. Closely associated themes with respect to the study of GVCs are government role in venture capital support, effective Innovation financing policies, performance differential, performance of portfolio companies, funding challenges and investment strategy, decision making model and critical success factors for IT startups. The analysis generated gaps and directions for future research consisting of fund’s structure and characteristics, key personnel’s work experience and network, geographic location, investment horizon, shareholding rights.
