Impulse Buying and Technology Impacts

The relevance of the research topic is due to the existence of the problem of low level of socio-economic development of a significant number of Russian single-industry towns. This problem was formed in the process of transition from a planned to a market economy. It was caused by the bankruptcy of previously active and dynamically developing city-forming enterprises in the transition period. This led to a decrease in the level and quality of life of the population of single-industry towns, completely dependent on these enterprises. Currently, a special research interest is the search for new effective tools for the development of single-industry towns and improve their socio-economic development. In the scientific work the definition of the concept of “single-industry city” is given, its criteria and characteristics are highlighted. The necessity of state support in the development of single-industry towns is substantiated. It is proved that one of the main ways to assist in the diversification of the economy of single-industry towns is the creation of territories of advanced socio-economic development in them, which are characterized by special conditions and have their own characteristics. In the article the experience of creation of the territory of the advancing social and economic development “Kotovsk” was studied, problems of its functioning and directions of its development are defined.
