Problem’s setting. Many experts are increasingly inclined to conclude that the main factor for the success of most enterprises is the commitment and loyalty of consumers. A higher degree of consumer loyalty is an almost fanatical appreciation of the brand. Any product while entering the market creates some impression - positive or negative. These associations and consumer perception of the product are called the brand. This is some impression of a product in the minds of consumers or a label that is thoughtfully attached to the product. However, branding is not always a sure guarantee of success for the company . Analysis of recent studies. The issues of brand formation were explored by authors such as D. Aaker, T. Ambler, B. Bruns, J. Burnett, A. Bontour, F. Kotler, E. Rice, J. Rossiter, V. Domnin, K. Bazherin, L. Buk , O. Zozuliov, V. Pustotin, E. Romat and others. Researchers expose the essence of a brand, offer methodological approaches to its formation, analyse the essence of branding and brand management. Objective of the research is to analyse the modern scientific understanding of the brand management system as a factor of increasing the competitiveness of enterprises, to consider the process of forming and using brand management system by the enterprises of the confectionery industry, as well as to diagnose the socio-economic efficiency of brand management of one of the most successful companies in Ukraine and to develop a strategy for its improvement. The main part. A brand management system is a complex of interconnected elements: goals, principles, functions, methods, organizational structure that embodies the management relationships that together allow to fulfil the main mission of the enterprise - meeting the needs of consumers. It is worth noting that the brand management model has a strategic orientation, which includes a block of goal-setting, analytical block and formation of strategic alternatives of brand development, which is a crucial part for today's changing conditions of the environment . Therefore, the main stages of the process of brand formation and using are comprehensive market research, brand creation, alignment of the brand concept with other components of the marketing complex, the formation of a marketing communications system, implementation of branding proposals, evaluation of brand efficiency, rebranding. Market analysis of consumer goods in Ukraine over the past 5 years has shown a significant decline in production and consumption of virtually all categories of consumer goods. Cheap products are the exception: instead of chocolate, consumers buy cookies and gingerbread, instead of wine from Italy and Chile - domestic wine. In addition, the Ukrainian confectionery sector is one of the most highly competitive areas in our country. It is quite multi-vector, as it develops differently in each segment. Consider the structure of the Ukrainian confectionery market by manufacturers. The biggest players during 2016-2019 are Roshen Confectionery Corporation, Malbi Foods LLC, Ferrero SpA, Mars, Inc., Nestlé S.A. and Mondelēz International, Inc. They occupy 19.3%, 8.3%, 8.0%, 7.6%, 7.0% and 6.2% respectively. In addition, the share of Private Label goods sales has increased significantly - up to 13% as of 2018. Confectionery is an area that needs creativity and ingenuity. The Western market requires simple and bright packaging, which stands out on the shelves and is as interesting to the audience as possible. Often, manufacturers add a game element that attracts not only the infant audience but also adult consumers. High value of the Nestlé brand management system in Ukraine is the high corporate image as well as the image of individual brands. The analysis of the brand management system of Lviv-based Ukrainian confectionery manufacturer Svitoch made it possible to identify the key elements of the strategy for improving the brand management of confectionery enterprises: · event marketing; · team building (carrying out various activities for employees); · professional development of employees; · production of limited edition products with updated design and taste; · issue of seasonal novelties, gifts and holiday sets; · new packaging design; · high availability of goods at the outlets; · placing products only on branded shelves; · using of various positioning methods; · creating a digital strategy and publishing online announcements. In addition, these elements of brand management strategy will help coordinate employee engagement for achieving a common goal. Conclusions. In general, it can be argued that the Ukrainian confectionery sector is one of the most highly competitive areas in our country. Therefore, by adhering to the above strategy of improving the brand management of confectionery enterprises, it is possible to increase the competitiveness of the company. In our opinion, the findings and suggestions will help increase the efficiency of the brand management system at domestic enterprises.

In today’s competitive and fast-evolving business landscape, organizations seek to boost performance and achieve sustainable growth. This study examines the impact of two key management approaches—market orientation and strategic orientation—on business outcomes. Market orientation focuses on identifying customer needs, analyzing competitors, and ensuring cross-functional collaboration to deliver value. Strategic orientation emphasizes long-term planning, innovation, and differentiation for sustained competitive advantage. The research highlights that integrating both orientations allows firms to adapt to market shifts, seize opportunities, and manage risks effectively. A unified approach fosters agility, resilience, and continuous innovation. However, implementation challenges—especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs)—include limited resources, resistance to change, and organizational inertia. To overcome these barriers, the study suggests actionable strategies: invest in market intelligence systems, encourage a culture of innovation, enhance internal collaboration, and ensure leadership alignment. Embedding these principles into strategic planning enables firms to remain competitive, responsive, and innovative. This research underscores the value of balancing market and strategic orientations to drive sustainable growth. It offers a practical framework for businesses—particularly SMEs—seeking to thrive in dynamic environments through resilience, adaptability, and strategic foresight.

Algorithms are taking over the world, or so we are led to believe, given their growing pervasiveness in multiple fields of human endeavor such as consumer marketing, finance, design and manufacturing, health care, politics, sports, etc. The focus of this article is to examine where things stand in regard to the application of these techniques for managing subsurface energy resources in domains such as conventional and unconventional oil and gas, geologic carbon sequestration, and geothermal energy. It is useful to start with some definitions to establish a common vocabulary. Data analytics (DA)—Sophisticated data collection and analysis to understand and model hidden patterns and relationships in complex, multivariate data sets Machine learning (ML)—Building a model between predictors and response, where an algorithm (often a black box) is used to infer the underlying input/output relationship from the data Artificial intelligence (AI)—Applying a predictive model with new data to make decisions without human intervention (and with the possibility of feedback for model updating) Thus, DA can be thought of as a broad framework that helps determine what happened (descriptive analytics), why it happened (diagnostic analytics), what will happen (predictive analytics), or how can we make something happen (prescriptive analytics) (Sankaran et al. 2019). Although DA is built upon a foundation of classical statistics and optimization, it has increasingly come to rely upon ML, especially for predictive and prescriptive analytics (Donoho 2017). While the terms DA, ML, and AI are often used interchangeably, it is important to recognize that ML is basically a subset of DA and a core enabling element of the broader application for the decision-making construct that is AI. In recent years, there has been a proliferation in studies using ML for predictive analytics in the context of subsurface energy resources. Consider how the number of papers on ML in the OnePetro database has been increasing exponentially since 1990 (Fig. 1). These trends are also reflected in the number of technical sessions devoted to ML/AI topics in conferences organized by SPE, AAPG, and SEG among others; as wells as books targeted to practitioners in these professions (Holdaway 2014; Mishra and Datta-Gupta 2017; Mohaghegh 2017; Misra et al. 2019). Given these high levels of activity, our goal is to provide some observations and recommendations on the practice of data-driven model building using ML techniques. The observations are motivated by our belief that some geoscientists and petroleum engineers may be jumping the gun by applying these techniques in an ad hoc manner without any foundational understanding, whereas others may be holding off on using these methods because they do not have any formal ML training and could benefit from some concrete advice on the subject. The recommendations are conditioned by our experience in applying both conventional statistical modeling and data analytics approaches to practical problems.

In recent years, growing awareness among consumers, regulators, and stakeholders has compelled organizations to reassess the ethical dimensions of their marketing practices (Kotler & Lee, 2008). Ethical marketing has emerged as a strategic approach that emphasizes transparency, honesty, fairness, and social responsibility in business communication (Laczniak & Murphy, 2006; Ferrell & Ferrell, 2021). The present study examines ethical marketing as a catalyst for sustainable business growth by exploring how ethical practices contribute to long-term organizational success rather than short-term profit maximization (Porter & Kramer, 2006) [18]. Adopting a conceptual and descriptive research design, the study draws insights from existing literature, scholarly articles, and sustainability reports to analyze the relationship between ethical marketing, stakeholder trust, consumer loyalty, and sustainable growth. The findings suggest that ethical marketing strengthens brand credibility and stakeholder relationships, which in turn fosters customer loyalty and market stability (Morgan & Hunt, 1994; Singh et al., 2012). These factors collectively support sustainable business growth by enhancing long-term profitability, competitive advantage, and social legitimacy (Carroll, 1991; Keller, 2013). The study highlights that ethical marketing is not merely a moral obligation but a strategic necessity for organizations operating in an increasingly conscious and competitive marketplace (Ferrell et al., 2019) [7]. The paper contributes to the existing body of knowledge by presenting a structured conceptual framework linking ethical marketing practices with sustainable business growth.
