The implementation of market mechanisms in the transport and logistics system of the railway industry contributes to the development of competitive relations between market participants and stimulates the search for new ways to gain a competitive advantage. Technological outsourcing of industrial enterprises can strengthen the position of operator companies in the market and increase the efficiency of organizing the movement of car traffic on the railway network by redistributing responsibilities in the supply chain. Possible options for organizing interaction between operator companies and industrial enterprises and a model for organizing technological outsourcing are considered. The general structure is represented schematically in a graph formulation by bipartite graphs with various types of one-to-one, one-to-many relationships. Optimization mathematical models of the logistics of such interaction with different levels of generalization in nonlinear and combinatorial formulations are presented, adequately reflecting the practice of using technological outsourcing.

The article analyzes the current state of the public administration and the organization of the learning process in higher educational establishments and aims to its development in the global integration conditional processes. It is claimed the disproportion that has formed in modern Russian education between two partners of the process. Accordingly, it has its consequence a clear prevalence of an orientation towards integration into the world educational environment to the detriment of the preserving national positive characteristics. The author analyzes the traditional specific characteristics of the educational process organization in the Russian higher education which has provided it with world-class achievements in the training quality. The author emphasizes its inherent combination in the education with educational and upbringing processes and substantiates the necessity to develop the humanitarian training of any specialist, ensuring his accomplishment as a worthy citizen of the country. An attempt is made to establish a theoretical scheme of the nationally special and globally universal interdependence for improving professional and educational activities. The author proves the importance of the differentiated approach to the training managers and industry specialists: firstly, this is the area of the administrative structures` responsibility; secondly, it is the professional community with academic freedom and economic privileges.
