Integrated Processing of Mineral Raw Materials: Factors of Readiness and Resistance of Economic Entities
Journal Title: Arctic and North - Year 2023, Vol 52, Issue 52
Abstract
Ensuring the integrated processing of mineral raw materials remains a relevant topic of modern research due to its socio-economic, environmental and technological significance, as well as one of the key conditions for sustainable development of Russia, defined by the Strategy for the development of mineral resource base up to 2035. At the same time, the practical realization of this concept continues to be occasional and non-systemic. Under the new conditions of sanctions restrictions, the acute need for import substitution, taking into account the regional specifics of strategic mineral resources in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to change the paradigm of development of the resource and raw materials complex of Russia from extensive to intensive one and to shift the research context towards readiness of regional economic systems to such changes. Considering the accumulated scientific background, the article attempts to consolidate and systematize the research on the topic of integrated processing of mineral resources in relation to the factors that determine readiness and cause resistance to the practical implementation of the concept on the part of economic entities as key actors in this process. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the systematization of existing positions on the issue of transition to the implementation of the concept of integrated processing of mineral resources to develop a set of indicators as a tool for assessing the readiness and resistance of the regional economic system to the paradigm shift. The research method used is a review of publications on the topic of integrated processing of mineral resources. As a result of the study, 20 factors were identified and systematized into 5 groups. The obtained classification of factors can become the basis for further research of the question posed in this article, which will allow assessing the readiness for changes at the regional level, to identify obstacles that hinder their implementation, and to determine the directions of search for solutions to eliminating or levelling of the identified resistance factors.
