Abstract

The article reveals the essence, provision factors, and development stages of the spatial integration of regional economies on the basis of a critical analysis of the scientific literature. The author studies the features of integration/disintegration processes in the economic space of Russia’s European North in the post-Soviet period. The paper shows that cooperative relations of the region with other entities of the Russian Federation, which have been preserved since the USSR, can become an objective basis for the development of integration processes. However, they are constrained by a significant export orientation of the Northern region’s economy, negative demographic and migration processes that limit the integration development in the region’s labor market, and a decline in the level of spatial transport connectivity. The author substantiates conceptual areas, priorities, and tools for ensuring the spatial integration of the Northern region’s economy at the intra- and interregional levels.

Keywords: economic space, spatial integration, disintegration, connectivity of space, European North of Russia.

Abstract

As a new marketer, the Sleman auction market must compete with existing traders to meet consumer demand. One way to solve this problem by implementing a good marketing mix. This study aims to find out the implementation of the marketing mix in the Sleman auction market. The study was conducted in the Sleman Regency, Indonesia, from January to March 2020. The study used primary data from interviews with all auction market traders using a questionnaire and observation of various auction market activities. The data in this study was analyzed by the Likert scale. The study showed that implementing the marketing mix in the Sleman auction market was categorized as high. This is possible due to the managers’ professionalism, support from external parties, complete infrastructure, and good relationships with other stakeholders. However, the Sleman auction market managers must increase the promotion using social media, improve auction market service training, increase the number of contract workers, transparent when delivering information to traders, and fix the Standard Operating Procedure.
