Item Open Access Surveillance of corporate social responsiblity in Kazakhstan(The Kazakh National University Named After Al -Farabi and Suleyman Demirel University, 2008) Vaishali SapleWith the liberalization of economy, the corporate sector is making an increased effect on the rapidly transforming society in Kazakhstan. The paper studies the perception of the society of Kazakhstan on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The primary data has been generated by means of a structured questionnaire, administered to the selected sample in Kazakhstan. The data has been analyzed with the help of mean and standard deviation. The findings reveal that in a market-led economy, society holds both positive and skeptic view of CSR activities and expects a responsible and ethical behavior from the corporations. The process of further integration of the society and business is required and the business has to reinforce the positive momentum to strengthen the confidence in the society. The study is useful for the corporations to understand the societal perception on corporate social responsibility, which may help them to redesign and reposition their social responsibility activities.Item Open Access How HRM Practices Relate To Firm Performance- A Model Proposed(The Kazakh National University Named After Al -Farabi and Suleyman Demirel University, 2008) Vaishali SapleThis study exomined the Relation of Human Resource Management (HRM) practices (selection, training compensation, and appraisal) with the Firm performance (operational perjornance and financial performance) of selected fins in Almary, Kazakhstan.

Multinational ideas and cultures circulate more freely. As a result, laws, economies, and social movements are being formed at the interational level. According to capitalist economic theory, a completely liberalized global market is the most efficient way to foster growth, because each country specializes in producing the goods and services in which it has a comparative advantage. Yet, in practice, cutting trade barriers and opening markets do not necessarily generate development. Rich countries and large corporations dominate the global marketplace and create very unequal relations of power and information. As a result, trade is inherently unequal and poor countries seldom experience rising well-being but increasing unemployment, poverty, and income inequality.Item Open Access TRADE AGREEMENTS AND THEIR IMPORTANCE TO KAZAKHSTAN(The Kazakh National University Named After Al -Farabi and Suleyman Demirel University, 2008) Smirnova ElenaToday every country thinks about increasing efficiency through free trade. Free trade is a system in which the trade of goods and services between or within two or more countries flow unconstrained by govemment-imposed restrictions. Such goverment interventions generally increase costs of goods and services to both consumers and producers. Interventions include taxes and tariffs, non-tariff barriers, such as regulatory legislation and quotas. Free trade opposes all such interventions. One of the strongest arguments for free trade was made by classical economist David Ricardo in his analysis of comparative advantage. Comparative advantage explains how trade will benefit both parties (countries, regions, or individuals) if they have different opportunity costs of productionItem Open Access PROGRESS TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TOURISM AND ECONOMIC GROWTH(The Kazakh National University Named After Al -Farabi and Suleyman Demirel University, 2008) Oskenbayev YessengaliSince the late 1980s, sustainable developmen bas become a buzzword in development studies in general and in tourism research in particular. However, a literature review led the author of this paper to the belief that the "muddy pool" (Harrison, 1996) of debate on sustainable tourism is patchy, disjointed and at times flawed. Indeed, "little appears to have been written, in depth, on the meaning and implications of sustainable tourism development" (Hunter&Green, 1995:69).Most research had advanced little beyond the stage of formulating and discussing various principles and assumptions' (Komilis, 1994:65); while the case studies which explore the ways of applying sustainable principles to practice, often through small eco- or alternative tourism projects, provide at best a micro solution to what is essentially a macro problem (Wheeller, 1991: 93).Item Open Access TRADE REGULATIONS AND POLICIES IN KAZAKHSTAN(The Kazakh National University Named After Al -Farabi and Suleyman Demirel University, 2008) Imenova RainaSuccessful foreign trade is an important factor which has determined the economic growth over the last years. Favorable market environment, specifically high world prices for Kazakhstan's major export goods such as hydrocarbons, ferrous and non-ferrous metals led to increased volume of exports and, even to a greater extent, of export revenues making a substantial contribution to economic growth. Until now (at the moment economic achievements of Russia are becoming more and more evident) Kazakhstan used to be an indisputable leader among the former Soviet Republics in many aspects of economic system reform and macroeconomic parameters of development achieved as a result of this reform. However, economic growth is not an end in itself and the state should not aim to achieve it at any price. While developing an adequate policy of economic growth one must take into account a number of important factors.Item Open Access THE IMPACT OF ECONOMIC GLOBALIZATION ON TRANSITIONAL ECONOMIES AND THE ACTIONS ADOPTED TO MEET THE CHALLENGE OF ECONOMIC GLOBALIZATION, THE CASE OF KAZAKHSTAN(The Kazakh National University Named After Al -Farabi and Suleyman Demirel University, 2008) Dakpirtova DinaraOver the past two decades, the world economy has become increasingly integrated as flows of goods, labor, and capital across countries have expanded rapidly. The developed, the developing or even the transitional countries are all drifting with this trend unexceptionally. Although there is a general belief that globalization has important long-term benefits through its impacts on growth and productivity, it is not practically as global as it may look; some countries are more globalized than others. Such tendencies indicate that within the time span of a single generation, the economies that take more active part in globalization managed to double their real income per head.Item Open Access APPLICABILITY OF CANVAS BUSINESS MODEL AS A TOOL FOR ANALYZING SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES IN AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY OF KAZAKHSTAN(2022 International Young Scholars' Conference, 2022) A. BeknazarovAbstract Agriculture as an economic sector of any country, perform a significant role in its development, progression as an independent country and improvement of the social life of citizens. Problems in the field of agriculture lead to social tension and instability in society, so its development is controlled in all countries. When Kazakhstan has been part of Soviet Union, the Country were developed mainly as an agrarian republic, being one of the main producers of meat, wool and grain throughout the USSR. 30 years after independence and the market economy transition, there are certain problems in the field of agriculture in the country, which the state is trying to solve by means of providing preferences to investors. Despite all the efforts made by the state, in order to solve the problems of small medium enterprises in the agricultural sector, a clear understanding and analysis of business models, internal and external factors and the use of advanced frameworks is necessary, which is the main topic of this master's thesisItem Open Access EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT USING ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS(2022 International Young Scholars' Conference, 2022) B. KamarAbstract Human resources and performance are the primary determinants of organizational success in today's contemporary enterprises. The main purpose of employee performance evaluation is to ensure a fair assessment of the employee's contribution to the workforce. An effective performance measurement system helps to boost employee productivity, focus on work discipline and make decisions in time. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a structured method for analyzing complex decisionmaking problems by calculating the weights of each criterion. Using a carefully constructed questionnaire, each respondent compares the relative value of each pair of elements. This method can be used for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. In this paper, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used for employee performance measurement. The proposed AHP model contains criteria based on internal automated business processes of organization. As a result, it allows a straightforward consideration of each employee's performance by comparing all the criteria.Item Open Access IMPLEMENTATION OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES IN IT(2022 International Young Scholars' Conference, 2022) Zh. A. KanatulyAbstract The thesis covers the topic of implementing the useful techniques used in Project Management in development of IT projects, which some of the IT companies seem to ignore using.
