5. Requirements for the content and procedure for preparing the WRC

5.1. The master's thesis must comply with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education and be an independent and logically completed final qualification work related to solving the problems of the types of activities for which the undergraduate is preparing: analytical, design and economic, organizational and managerial, consulting, research.

5.2. The topic of the WRC should be relevant, and the work plan should reflect the logic and nature of the research carried out.

− title page (Appendix 2);

− abstract (Appendix 3);

− introduction;

− chapters and paragraphs of the main part;

− conclusion;

− list of used literature;

− list of abbreviations (if necessary). Design guidelines are presented in Annex 4;

− applications;

- the last sheet with the assurance of the student about the independent nature of the work performed (Appendix 5)

All headings (sections, chapters and paragraphs) begin with a capital letter without a dot at the end.

5.4. Requirements for the content section. The content contains all the headings of sections, chapters and paragraphs of the dissertation work and indicates the pages from which they begin. Headings in the "Contents" should exactly repeat the headings in the text.

5.5. Requirements for the "Introduction" section. The section should contain

− a clear and concise rationale for the choice of topic and the relevance of the study;

- formulation of the purpose and objectives of the study.

The existence of problems in the field of the studied processes or phenomena and the need to solve them indicate relevance research. Purpose of the study formulated in accordance with the topic of the dissertation. W research objectives − these are questions that have to be solved in order to achieve the set goal (the formulation of the tasks should coincide with the content of the dissertation research). Depending on the volume and complexity of the tasks, each task in the dissertation is given a separate chapter or paragraph. Setting the goal of the study involves the definition object and subject research. An object- this is the carrier of the problem: a material object, process or phenomenon that gives rise to a problem situation. In an object, that side of it is distinguished, which serves subject research. The object, subject, goals and objectives of the master's thesis determine the choice of appropriate research methods. There are general and special methods. General methods of scientific research (observation, comparison, abstraction, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction), unlike special ones, are used throughout the research process. To special methods scientific research can include various types of analysis: systemic, strategic, structural, economic-statistical, functional-cost, parametric, correlation-regression; methods of expert assessments, organizational and economic-mathematical modeling, network planning, sociological research, analogies, graphical, statistical and economic-mathematical methods.

5.6. Requirements for the main part of the work. The main part should contain a critical analysis of the state of the problem, the degree of its study; proposed solutions, verification and confirmation of the results of the study, indicating their practical use and prospects for application. The content of the main part is determined by the goals and objectives of the study and is divided into chapters and paragraphs. The material of each chapter should be arranged in a clear logical sequence. Each chapter should end with a brief summary and a transition to the next chapter.

In the first chapter the essence and genesis (origin, formation and development) of the issue under study is determined; the main categories of the process under study are considered, their socio-economic content, possible trends or development scenarios are revealed; the existing conceptual apparatus in the area under study is analyzed with references to relevant sources and, if necessary, the author's interpretation of certain concepts is proposed; provides an analytical review and evaluation of theories, concepts, views, scientific approaches to solving the problem under consideration; the advantages, disadvantages and weaknesses of modern approaches to its solution in Russian and foreign practice are noted; understudied aspects of the problem are revealed.

When determining the degree of development of the problem, it is necessary to highlight and critically comprehend the works of domestic and foreign scientists who have made a significant contribution to the study of the problem, one or another of its aspects. The main sign of insufficient knowledge of the problem, as a rule, is the moment of discussion, the polemical discussion of its various aspects. As a result of such research, the graduate must formulate his own position, develop an independent point of view on the problem.

When studying the degree of elaboration of the topic in literary sources, it should be borne in mind that the materials contained in educational publications should be taken as already known provisions, and , if at the same time the undergraduate does not express original opinions, these materials are not subject to description.

In later chapters an analysis of the object and subject of research is carried out; summarizes the results of the analysis, develops or improves methodology, methods, techniques, models and tools that allow solving the problems posed; practical testing and evaluation of the results of the research carried out on the example of real objects.

In second The chapter provides and analytically processes statistical data on the state of the region or industry. It is necessary to make a detailed analysis of the actual data on the state of the selected object and subject of research and, based on the analysis, formulate conclusions about the existing problems and the possibilities for their solution.

The third chapter substantiates the choice of one or more main directions for improving the state of the chosen area of ​​activity, in which independent proposals are developed to improve the system, process, phenomenon under study and solve the identified problems with actual calculations, the proposals are generalized for the purposes of using the same type of organizations (in the form of an algorithm, methodology , guidelines and/or regulations). The consequences of the introduction of the proposed measures are modeled, and their effectiveness is calculated, directions for further development are determined.

5.7. Requirements for the section "Conclusion". This section should contain a consistent, logically coherent presentation of the results of the study and their relationship with the general goal and specific tasks set and formulated in the introduction. In conclusion, the main results of the study are summarized; an assessment of the degree of solution of the tasks set is given; the most important results of the work, their practical value and ways of further solving the problem are noted.

5.8. The list of references is drawn up in accordance with Appendix 6.

Plagiarism and compilation in the master's thesis are not allowed. It is necessary to clearly indicate from which sources the material is cited or paraphrased.

5.11. When writing a WRC, the main difficulty is, as a rule, the formulation of elements of scientific novelty, which refers to certain scientific achievements obtained in the course of a dissertation research. Scientific novelty may consist in identifying unexplored aspects of the object of study, using new research methods or applying known methods to study new phenomena, formulating a new concept or clarifying the content of a particular known concept, clarifying or supplementing generally accepted classifications. Elements of novelty can be presented, for example, in the following formulations: the concept is clarified, the author's interpretation of the concept is given, a classification is proposed, a model (algorithm) is developed, the author's interpretation is proposed.

5.12. The main part of the WRC may contain three chapters. Each chapter usually consists of three sections. The title of the chapters should not duplicate the title of the topic, and the title of the paragraphs should not duplicate the title of the chapters.
