On May 12, 2026, the Department of Economics, Management and Finance of Berdyansk State Pedagogical University hosted a round table discussion entitled “Current Issues and Prospects for the Development of Economics, Management and Finance” within the framework of the traditional Science Day.

The scientific event brought together undergraduate and graduate students of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities enrolled in the educational programs “Management,” “Organization Management,” “Management of Hotel, Resort and Tourism Services,” “Business Economics,” and “Finance, Banking and Insurance.” The participants presented relevant research in the fields of economics, finance, management, tourism, digitalization, and human resource management.

During the round table discussion, participants addressed a number of important topics reflecting the current challenges faced by the Ukrainian economy and the global market. Particular attention was paid to the issues of financial and investment resilience of enterprises during wartime, digitalization of business processes, transformation of Ukraine’s logistics routes, development of social entrepreneurship, and the use of digital platforms to help Ukrainian small and medium-sized businesses enter the European economic space.

Special interest was generated by presentations devoted to the development of the tourism and hospitality industry. Participants discussed the role of gastronomic tourism in promoting local cuisine, the importance of tourism as a tool for regional development, as well as innovative trends and digitalization in hotel service management. Considerable attention was also paid to the impact of digitalization on the standardization of business processes in tourism and to modern approaches to managing hotel and tourism enterprises.

Lively discussions were also sparked by presentations on neuromarketing, cryptocurrencies in the modern financial system, cybersecurity in remote work, innovative HR technologies, and cross-cultural management in the digital era. Particular attention was drawn to a presentation addressing the problem of systemic limitations of formal education in managerial training and the gap between the development of soft skills and the modern requirements of management practice. The topic initiated an active discussion on the need to adapt educational programs to labor market demands and to develop practical managerial competencies among students.

The students demonstrated a high level of preparation, analytical thinking, and strong interest in researching current economic processes. The presented studies combined theoretical approaches with practical aspects of the functioning of modern business, the financial system, the tourism industry, and the Ukrainian economy as a whole.
