This article presents the results of the research, following which we have identified four major forms of diversification of
organizations of agricultural complex and developed a methodology for assessing its efficiency. We also revealed the content
and target orientation of the diversification strategies of organizations and explored the tendencies of dynamics of its main
indicators for agricultural organizations of Gomel region in the period from 2005 to 2010.

The purpose of the paper is to suggest the new way of developing the generating capacities in power engineering of Belarus. This way is characterized by decentralization of power production by means of introducing the local sources of supplying
the consumers with energy based on the combined heat and electric power generation by the units based on the converted
aircraft engines. The paper is also aimed at evaluating the cost efficiency of introducing it into power engineering and analyzing possible ways of further development of aircraft engine based power supply sources in power engineering of Belarus.
