Public administration in the field of healthcare is carried out using certain tools (methods, techniques, operations, algorithms of actions, procedures and techniques of action, management technologies, communication strategies, etc.). The composition of the mechanisms of public administration in the sphere of healthcare is proposed, which is determined by the results of the analysis of the content and results of the medical reform in Ukraine. The aim (purpose of application), features of action, limitations and degree of completeness of public administration mechanisms in the field of healthcare in Ukraine are considered. Further improvement of public administration in the field of healthcare in Ukraine lies in the plane of system creation of its instrumental base. The system of public administration mechanisms in the field of healthcare is a set of various mechanisms, the simultaneous action of which in terms of interconnection and interdependence allows to ensure high-quality public administration in the most important socioeconomic sector of the country, which is healthcare. The features of the system of mechanisms of public administration in the sphere of healthcare are characterized. The formation of a system of public administration mechanisms in the field of healthcare in Ukraine should have a fundamental basis, which is formed in the form of appropriate conceptual foundations. The conceptual foundations of the formation of the system of public administration mechanisms in the field of healthcare in Ukraine contain a set of attitudes, principles, provisions, guidelines and vectors of action of state institutions, combined into constructs, the reliance on which will allow the formation of such a really effective system. The creation of a system of public administration mechanisms in the field of healthcare in Ukraine is important for improving the quality of public administration, and therefore great attention should be paid to this process.

In the context of permanent changes, the development of flexible management methodologies becomes an urgent necessity. The main factors influencing the effectiveness of modern management are the following: validity and flexible variability of managerial decisions, availability of a vision of the ways of development of the organization, high efficiency of organizational processes, competence and agility of employees. The article considers the essence of the concepts of «flexibility of the system» with the further extension of these definitions to «flexibility of the system of organization and management of the economic system». Flexibility is proposed to be understood as the ability of a system, which is subject to random influences of internal and external factors, to change its state or trajectory of movement (development) within the limits that are due to the critical values of the main parameters, after which irreversible changes in the integrity of the system occur. The definition of the concept of «dexterous worker» as a competent specialist, who has all the properties of dexterity developed at a high level (ingenuity, liveliness, energy, interest, intelligence, dexterity) is presented. The features of the formation of flexible teams are considered, taking into account the typology of employees. In a flexible team, employees have the right to express and defend their own point of view in a controversial situation, but not to block each other. In a flexible team, a change in personal assessment of the situation drives, not disappoints. This is the «secret» of the effective work of a flexible team. An important component in building a flexible team is mentoring. The starting point of mentoring is managerial self-awareness as an awareness of one’s own strengths, weaknesses and personality traits. Mentoring refers to management methods aimed at the development of an individual by sharing a vision of a problem and choosing effective tools for solving it based on personal experience or best practice of other managers.

In the article from the point of view of the system, energy and econophysic approaches, certain aspects of the theory and practice of measuring the effectivity (in particular, efficiency, performance) of the processes of functioning of the system are outlined. It is emphasized that modern realities point to the actualization of issues in quantum econophysics, in particular the adaptation and use of the mathematical apparatus of quantum mechanics for modeling processes in the economy, the use of quantum mechanical models and analogies, the application of quantum mechanical ideology, since modern socio-ecological-economic systems are complex, nonlinear, synergistic phenomena are observed in their dynamics, instability and poor predictability occur. The aim of the publication is to highlight some analogues of concepts and indicators similar to fundamental physical concepts in the paradigm of «cognition – measurement – evaluation – management» regarding the functioning of socio-ecological-economic systems and processes in them along with outlining approaches to determining the performance of these processes on the basis of modeling using the system, energy and econophysic approaches. It is proposed in the paradigm of «cognition – measurement – evaluation – management» regarding the performance of the processes of functioning of systems to take into account the economic interpretation of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and the concept of the economic analogue of the Planck constant. It is substantiated that the theoretical and methodological analysis of some basic fundamental physical concepts (energy, momentum, etc.) and their formal and informal connections with real economic concepts and processes will contribute to the improvement of the procedure for determining and applying the energy efficiency coefficient of the processes of functioning of systems based on the authors’ indicators of the components of the performance of processes, taking into account the economic interpretation of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and the concept of an economic analogue of the Planck constant.

The article is aimed at highlighting some basic concepts of technology transfer and indicators of its effectiveness in the paradigm of «observation – orientation – decision – action» in the process of functioning of industrial enterprises on the basis of a systematic approach to management. The scientific novelty of the research results is the consideration of technology transfer on the basis of process and system approaches in the context of management with outlining the theoretical aspects of the effectiveness of technology transfer as a process. It is determined that technology transfer is a process that involves not only the transfer of knowledge, but also the transformation of this knowledge into a certain innovative technology with the active participation of the «source» of this technology and the end user of the product manufactured using this technology. This process needs to be managed. It is noted that technology transfer management is a purposeful set of managerial actions for technology transfer in order to increase the level of technological development and competitiveness of enterprise. The use of process and system approaches allows considering the technology transfer as a complex of interrelated processes that interact with each other as elements of a whole (a certain system). It is determined that the use of process approach to management of technology transfer makes it possible to obtain a holistic view of this process and ensure its compliance with the general objectives of enterprise. It is noted that the system approach allows technology transfer to be considered as a complex of interrelated actions (processes) that are parts of the whole (certain system). It is emphasized that the process of technology transfer should be not only effective (characterize not only the qualitative side of the process), but also effective; the effectiveness of the process of technology transfer in the context of a systematic approach should be calculated on the basis of a system of indicators of the components of this effectiveness on the basis of modeling.

Creating new opportunities for Ukrainian business is one of the priority directions of activity in the short and medium terms. The subject of the study is the theoretical and methodological foundations of the formation of the bases of the mechanism for managing the business environment of territories. In the scientific literature, the concept of «business environment» is often replaced by related categories that are used as synonyms. The level of «business environment» in the structural hierarchy of the concept of «environment» on the principle of increasing the degree of coverage of economic relations is determined. The understanding of the concept of «territory» is outlined from the point of view of the decentralization reform, which continues in Ukraine. Decentralization of power can be territorial – the transfer of power from the central city to other territories, and can be functional – by transferring decision-making powers from the main body of any branch of government to lower-level officials. The formation of a mechanism for managing the business environment of territories is considered in relation to the hierarchy of territorial distribution: the territory of the State, the territory of the region, the territory of the amalgamated hromada. The analysis of the opinions of scientists regarding the definition of the essence of the category of «business environment» is carried out. It is defined that in scientific thought there is no clear identification of the content of this term and there is an urgent need to determine the structure-forming elements of the mechanism for managing the business environment of territories. It is determined that the formation of business conditions is influenced by a number of factors according to a certain territorial level. Factors of influence are the external business environment, entrepreneurial environment, macroeconomic environment of entrepreneurial activity, institutional environment of entrepreneurial activity. The carried out analysis of the theoretical foundations of the formation of the business environment of the territories made possible to highlight the main features of the business environment as a system and its features at different levels of the territorial hierarchy.

The complexity of the organization as an object of study, due to the human presence as the main element, makes it impossible to study its essence and features within the same scientific approach. There is no theory that would fully encompass all the types, kinds, forms of organizational structures and processes that occur in them. A variety of interpretations that reflect a wide range of generally accepted ideas contributes to the research and understanding of the organization, but at the same time actualizes the need for additional analysis and generalization for a deep understanding of the term, which is the purpose of the presented article. With the help of the historical method, methods of morphological and content analysis, scientific approaches to the study of the organization are generalized and systematized, their content is disclosed in connection with the object, instrumentarium and the result of the study. The necessity of studying the organization as a system and a process to reflect the range of interconnections, dependencies and coherences is substantiated. Taking into account the multifactorial nature of the organization, the expediency of applying an integrated approach to its study is proved, the possibility of using a traditional set of research methods with purposeful adaptation in accordance with the object and subject of research leading to their modification is specified. Paying attention to the fact that the value of knowledge lies in the extent to which their effective use in purposeful activities be possible, the need for the study of the organization of close interconnection and constructive interaction of scientific and practical activities is substantiated, because they provide a methodological basis for the practical application of the acquired knowledge and skills. Prospects for further research are the application of these approaches to the study of the essence of a competent organization, defining the features of its formation and functioning, adapting them to specific relevant tasks.

The modern stage of modernization of both the national and the world higher education system necessitates the transformation of higher education institutions into entrepreneurial, innovatively active organizations that are able to quickly adapt to volatile changes in the external environment. In this regard, many issues require a new solution regarding the management of higher education institutions (HEIs), i.e.: ensuring the quality of higher education, training the personnel, appropriate to labor market, providing various educational services, ensuring the continuity of education, and improving the organizational and economic mechanism of management of HEI. From the point of view of the system approach, a HEI is seen as an open system, a mechanism for converting input information or resources into final products, where effective organization of internal processes becomes one of the most important ways to obtain its competitive advantages. Based on the analysis of the main properties of HEI as an open dynamic system, it is defined that the most important systemic characteristic of university is its organizational structure, which includes four main aspects: description of the structure of subdivisions and departments; connections between them and the external environment; information circulating on these connections; functions performed by structural units and departments. The article is aimed at studying various types of organizational structure of management of higher education institution, determining the specifics of their application in the activities of the university, which operates in an open informational and educational space. The main types of organizational structure of management of HEI, built on the classical principle, are distinguished; weaknesses and strengths of their application for the management of HEI are determined. It is proved that the organizational management structures, built according to divisional and matrix types, are promising, since only they are able to adequately and promptly respond to changes both in the internal and external environment of HEI. A list of requirements to meet the contemporary, effective organizational structure of a higher education institution is formed, the highlighted requirements are: optimality, operational efficiency, reliability, economic efficiency, flexibility and stability of the management system. The carried out study allowed to conclude that a higher education institution in the process of its life cycle should timely adjust its strategic goals of activity and make adequate changes to the organizational structure in accordance with the new conditions in which it functions.

The article is aimed at defining the theoretical aspects of managing the economic security of the insurance services market of Ukraine, searching for ways to develop special practical recommendations to solve the outlined problem. In the context of transformational changes and globalization metamorphoses, the issue of ensuring a high level of economic security of the insurance services market in Ukraine is one of the priorities. The article discusses the risk factors influencing the provision of a high level of economic security of the insurance services market of Ukraine, analyzes the mechanisms for managing the economic security of the insurance services market. Particular attention is paid to the characterization of models of the State regulation of economic security of the insurance services market of the countries of the world, which helps to form the main emphasis on the state of development of the insurance services market of Ukraine. The practice of developed countries of the world indicates the inadmissibility of such a mechanism for ensuring economic balance as insurance premiums, and the need to focus on the formation of insurance reserves. Based on the practice of the developed countries of the world, it is advisable to summarize the mechanisms for ensuring the economic security of the insurance services market as a single system, monitoring of which will ensure systematic economic development, quick managerial decisions in transformational conditions and attraction of investment funds for long-term strategic planning. In addition, the article draws a parallel between ensuring a high level of economic security of the insurance services market and the development of the Ukrainian economy in the context of a rapid change in external influence factors, involving priority mechanisms for ensuring the long-term investment development of the country. The main directions of improvement of the State regulation of economic security of insurance services market are proposed.

The article is aimed at outlining the functions of the theory of the effectiveness of systems (in particular, enterprises) by essence, as well as substantiating the role of indicators of components of effectiveness therein under modern conditions of system development. The article covers some issues of the theory and philosophy of the effectiveness of the functioning of enterprises as systems on the basis of SEE-management as a means of improving the effectiveness of the processes of functioning of complex systems in the context of definitions of «quantity/quality» based on the measurement and assessment of the components of the above-mentioned effectiveness using the criterion of progressive effectiveness. The results of computations according to the models of indicators of components of effectiveness, taking into account the values of the criterion of progressive effectiveness, can contribute to the choice of the appropriate strategy for the development (behavior) of the enterprise (active, passive, active-passive, etc.). It is emphasized that SEE-management, which is based on the author’s concepts of components of effectiveness, is a means of increasing the effectiveness of the functioning of complex dynamic systems (by which we will understand the set of its subprocesses) taking into account risks in the context of the negative impact of the external environment, in particular local and global crises in the economy. The scientific novelty of the results of author’s content analysis and applied explorations of the author for more than 20 years is the description of the essence of axiological and other functions of the theory of effectiveness, as well as the addition of methodological functions of this theory with indicators of constituent effectiveness, which can facilitate the improvement of the management of systems of different types and hierarchical levels. The above indicated management can be carried out using such a modern approach as author’s SEE-management, for the implementation of which certain indicators are presented and the appropriate managerial SEE actions in cases of different situations with respect to various values of performance indicators is proposed.

The article is aimed at consolidating the theoretical aspects of formation of a management system for innovatively oriented development of enterprises. According to the results of the carried out research, it is identified that modern industrial enterprises are in a crisis state, which causes the need to develop an economically substantiated program for their reform, focusing on expanding innovation-technological activities and increasing investments in the real sector of the economy, as well as increasing the efficiency of their use. It is defined that the need for research, namely, the formation of a management system for innovatively oriented development of enterprises, is determined by its role in accelerating the growth rate of social production, improving the quality of products and increasing scientific-technological progress, which are the main directions of economic strategy, planning and forecasting of production. The results of the analysis of the economic essence of the concepts of «management», «system», «management system», «innovations», «development» and «innovative development» allowed to define that a management system for the innovatively oriented development of enterprises represents an orderly set of elements interaction, which is directed towards the continuous and comprehensive process of introducing innovations for the formation of efficient activity in the strategic perspective, taking into account the factors of internal and external environment together with the laws of development of social production aimed at concentration, parallelism, adaptability and rhythmicity of the enterprise management system.

The article covers the issue of SEE-governance as a means of improving the effectiveness of the processes of functioning of complex systems in the context of «quantity/ quality» definitions. SEE-governance is carried out on the basis of measurement and evaluation of the components of the above-mentioned effectiveness, indicating possible regulatory actions to change the effectiveness of the functioning and development of systems. It is underlined that a special interest among scholars is caused not only by the problems of system development, but also by the states that determine the order of functioning of systems, known as attractors. The article is aimed at disclosing the role and significance of attractors as a basis for the formation of synergistic potential of SEE-governance for the further development of systems, as well as supplementing on this basis the methodology of the mentioned governance on the basis of the authors’ components of effectiveness by understanding of increments and decrements in the context of the «quantity/ quality» paradigm in the «growth/development» narrative – to clarify the algorithms of actions in the process of system management that seeks to develop dynamically. It is noted that the complex of the authors’ indicators of the components of effectiveness of the functioning and development of system in practice allows to form approaches to the assessment of the system states in terms of the above-mentioned effectiveness. This makes it possible to understand what adjustments and at what time of the system functioning should be made so that it operates and develops effectively. It is concluded that resultative, effective processes can serve as attractors capable of directing the development of the system in the right direction when a system is at the point of bifurcation.

The article improves the cost management system of construction enterprise. It is specified that the process of managing costs at a construction enterprise depends on the efficiency of the existing general system of the organization management and the level of use of certain methods and instruments by which effective managerial decisions are made to ensure financial stability. A definition of a system of cost management of construction enterprise is provided, whereby the system of economic interests and management methods of directed influence on the interests of the economic entity in order to coordinate them with different groups of stakeholders to comply with the relevant proportions in the formation of costs is meant. It is noted that today, in the face of stiff competition in the construction industry of Ukraine and negative trends in the country’s economy related to the COVID-19 pandemic, solution to the issues of improving the cost management system should be based on the concept of strategic management, management in terms of special purpose self-cost, target-costing and kaizen-costing as means of achieving the specified construction enterprise costs. It is concluded that the improvement of the cost management system of construction enterprise is possible on the basis of making effective managerial decisions based on the use of scientifically based approaches to analyzing the cost structure, planning the level of costs, planning profits taking into account the amount of expenses made, along with implementation of an effective system of motivation of employees to control and reduce costs, etc. The proposed cost management system of construction enterprise will allow to organize and purposefully implement a policy of comprehensive reduction of the self-cost of construction products, rationally invest in modern construction projects, and implement the set strategic goals.

The article is aimed at outlining the possibilities of applying the conception of structuralism in order to interpret the indicators of the components (constituents) of the efficiency of enterprises as micro level systems in terms of the paradigm of «structure – system» taking into account the history of the origin and development of the mentioned conception. The article presents the results of a study of the evolution of concepts «structure» and «system» in the context of the relevant paradigm in view of improving approaches to management of the performance of enterprises. The interpretation of the above mentioned definitions by different scholars is provided; the author’s own interpretation of the concepts of «structure of performance indicators» and «system of constituent performance indicators» of enterprises activity are proposed. Methodological approaches to managing the performance of enterprises as complex micro level systems based on the above mentioned system of indicators based on the models of Burennikova (Polishchuk) – Yarmolenko are outlined. The structural-logical scheme of basic concepts in the paradigm of «structure – system» is proposed. The «model of interrelation» between the concepts of «structure» (quantitative and qualitative constituents of performance indicators) and «system» (as a multiplex, a set of interrelated elements, a complex of related performance indicators) is presented in a systematic approach of scientific cognition in order to more clearly identify the relationships between the studied concepts and related indicators with taking into account the system approach. It is emphasized that the lack of results of computations on certain components (constituents) of the specified system of indicators makes it impossible to create a holistic picture regarding the performance of enterprises. It is underlined that the improved by the author methodology of knowledge, measurement and evaluation of the performance of enterprises will contribute to improving their management and finding reserves for the development of enterprises as systems.

Innovation is a major factor in the future development of humanity in general and the economy in particular. Ukrainian economy is currently going through a difficult period, which requires the search for innovative ways out of this situation. One of the possible ways to solve this problem is to build an innovative logistics strategy. The article examines the conceptual foundations of innovative and logistical activities in Ukraine. The essence and significance of the logistical approach in the activities of enterprises are defined. It is noted that the essence of the logistical approach is the integration of individual links of the commodity chain into a single system that will ensure the most effective management of the continuous material flows. The relationship of logistics with innovative activity of enterprises is identified. The place of logistical approach to management of innovative activity of enterprise is determined. Management aspects of innovation and logistics development are researched. It is specified that in conditions of openness of implementation of innovative processes, those enterprises that can quickly implement an innovative idea do gain a competitive advantage. The basic components of the conception of innovation logistics are outlined. The main provisions of the logistic conception in the development and management of innovative activities of enterprises are distinguished. It is summarized that innovative activity on the basis of logistics forms an effective mechanism for innovative management of enterprises. The use of a logistical approach to the management of innovative activities contributes to the achievement of the goal and strategic targets of the enterprise, in particular, with its implementation, the efficiency of economic, financial, economic and sales activities increases; the target audience is expanding, resulting in an increased demand for products (goods) and services; profit increases; competitive positions in the market are strengthened.

In today’s conditions, the enterprises of Ukraine face the issue of ensuring economic security by introducing an appropriate mechanism of strategic management and effective application of its components. The article focuses on the actual problem of ensuring economic security of enterprises and justifies the inter-sectoral nature of the problem studied. To effectively ensure the economic security of enterprise, a mechanism of strategic management of its economic security is needed, which represents a set of directed actions to achieve the goals of the enterprise by creating favorable conditions for the efficient use of resources. The article is aimed at highlighting the theoretical and methodological aspects of the formation of such a mechanism. On the basis of the use of methods of analysis and synthesis, scientific abstraction and logical generalization, through the prism of researching the approaches of scholars to the interpretation of the essence of economic security of enterprise, both the concept of economic security of enterprise and the system of economic security of enterprise are generalized; the principles of the mechanism of strategic management of economic security of enterprises are substantiated; the essence of the definition of the «mechanism of strategic management of the economic security of enterprise» is determined and the methodological aspects of its formation are specified. With applying the analytical modeling method, the structure of the mechanism of strategic management of the economic security of enterprise is proposed. This topic has the prospect of researching the applied aspects of the application of the mechanism of strategic management of the economic security of enterprise in specific industries using the peculiarities and directions of their development.

The article substantiates the urgency of the development of the transport sector of the region as an important component of improving the economic security of the country, outlines the importance of the transport sector in ensuring the effective functioning of the economic system of the country. Improving the economic security of the transport sector is the basis for guaranteeing the security of regions, countries, a condition for sustainable socio-economic development. The relevance of the research topic is due to the role of the transport sector in the regional economy, as well as the unstable financial situation in the industry and the national economy as a whole. The purpose of the article is to study the organizational aspects of economic security of transport in the region. The article analyzes the main trends in the development of the transport sector, as well as the problems that exist in the industry. The modern features of the development of the system of economic security of the transport sphere of the regions are studied and the place and significance of the transport systems in the regional economy are determined. Indicators of increasing the economic security of the regional transport complex are proposed, possible risks of development and functioning of the transport sphere of the regions are outlined. The main factors that ensure the integrated effect of the functioning of transport infrastructure in the region and its impact on economic security have been identified. Conceptual provisions and institutional preconditions of increase of economic security of the transport complex, and criteria of their interaction with other spheres of economy of region are substantiated. The modern problems of economic security management of the transport complex of the region in connection with ensuring the economic security of the country are considered. The directions of strategic planning of development of the regional transport complex and increase of its economic stability are proposed.

The article is aimed at substantiating the composition of the enterprise’s viability management system based on the use of cybernetic approach to modeling systems. The theoretical principles of enterprise viability management are examined. A cybernetic scheme of a hierarchical contour of the MTE control is suggested, in which four levels of management are allocated. The control system is described as the interrelationship between two cycles: elementary and expanded. The expanded cycle corresponds to the management of a viable enterprise in general, and the elementary cycles are carried out to manage certain processes of the operation of the enterprise that ensure the viability of the enterprise. A three-level model of the viability management system of motor transport enterprise is proposed, determining the composition of management functions at each of the following levels: higher, medium and primary. The control subsystem (management subject) is represented in the form of an administrative cycle, in terms of which the decisive, transforming and information-control blocks (classes) of functions are allocated. The composition of subsystems is formed in such a manner so that their functioning would ensure integration, coordination of the processes of achieving the strategic, tactical and operational goals of the enterprise in the sphere of maintaining its viability. The controlled subsystem (management object) is represented by the process of enterprise operation, executive structure, as well as structures of instruments and labor means. The formed management system has a target-oriented cyclic nature, allows to react in time to changes in internal and external environment of the enterprise, promptly use the obtained information in the management system.

The existing theoretical and methodological provisions of the organization’s investment resources management have been generalized, and priority sources of their attraction together with directions of increasing efficiency of their use have been defined. Investment activity has been determined to be one of the most important aspects of any commercial organization’s operation. It allows economic entities to get out of crisis situations, to ensure a certain level of competitiveness and liquidity. When carrying out investment activities, the organization is constantly faced with a necessity of choice of specific investment resources, investment decisions, the level of investment risk, etc. That is, decisions made in the sphere of investment projects are quite tough, because an expert is always responsible for the future return on the funds invested in a project. The emphasis is put on the fact that the management of investment resources of an organization according to management theory is based on the development of a certain strategy for the formation of investment resources (financial, real, innovative investments). Thus, the general need for investment resources that would be necessary for implementation of the investment strategy of organization is determined, and the possibility of forming investment resources at the expense of all possible sources: own, attracted and borrowed is calculated. It is noted that one important aspect of the organization’s investment resources management is uncertainty of the investment project indicators, which is due to certain reasons: uncertainty because of the lack of information on the full list of factors influencing the level of project indicators; uncertainty due to the lack of complete information on the projections of indicators that characterize the impact on the project’s indicators level; uncertainty due to the lack of information on quantitative dependencies between the influence factors and the indicators of investment project. It is concluded that the management of the organization’s investment resources is a complex and labor-consuming process, the implementation of which depends on certain factors, both of internal and external nature. The efficiency and effectiveness of the management of investment resources of the organization depends, on the one hand, on the existence of a scientifically sound theoretic and methodological base, on the other hand – on the ability of management of the economic entity to professionally use the knowledge in practice.

The article set up a problem of the need to combine the ideology of approaches to ensuring the economic security of enterprise with its properties as a management object, which should become the basis of projecting management structures in the system of economic security of enterprise. The theoretical base for this is to define the principles of economic security manageability as a subject of management in the economic security system of enterprise. The results of theoretical study define that the concept of «management structure» explains an aggregate of elements, the internal structure of which is more important than contensive characteristics. The management structure is an invariant kind of a control structure element that is responsible for the implementation of managerial functions in a particular process. The basic management structure of the enterprise’s economic security system is the economic security service, which implements an aggregate of security functions. The service acts as an object for determining the principles of economic security management and an object for organizational projecting. The direction of solving the scientific problem is to define the fundamental properties and signs of manageability of the economic security of enterprise in the appropriate security system, which becomes an ontological and axiological basis for projecting management structures in this system. The structure of management in the economic security system of enterprise is characterized by many difficult-to-formalize qualities (powers of employees, their responsibility, relationships between them, etc.). Projecting an economic security service is recommended according to the principle of functional distribution of interrelations to ensure economic security, the nature of which within the service is determined by the specifics of the operation of the enterprise. A promising direction of research is projecting the management structures in the economic security system of enterprise, taking into account the formation of institutional relations between of the security service and the external environment.

It is noted that regional industrial complexes are in poor condition nowadays and require the renewal and modernization of fixed assets, efficient use of all available production resources and integrated use of the production and management potential of the enterprises. The main approaches to formation of the potential of industrial enterprise are considered and allocated, which are related to its functional structure and ensuring the creation and organization of a system of resources and capabilities that would enable to achieve a variety of the enterprise’s goals as a result of their interaction. Approaches that are unambiguous in the allocation of resource and target aspects in determination of potential, depending on historical stages in management, are considered. However, other factors in the interpretation of the potential of industrial enterprise must also be taken into account today. The mentioned approaches, from the management point of view, allow to disclose the instrumentarium of ensuring the efficiency of development of the regional economic systems of more qualitative basis. Despite the diversity of interpretations, common features are allocated, which is represented by the most of approaches. It is noted that the allocated factors and conditions for building and further implementation of the potential of industrial enterprises of region differ in their impact on the potential of business entities. It is concluded that, taking into account the conditions of the external environment, as well as the influence of its respective factors, on the potential of the enterprise, it is possible not only to predict possible fluctuations of separate (functional) potential opportunities, but also to develop and implement the necessary measures to adjust this influence on operating systems in order to achieve the intended goal.

Foreign experience of using the system of motivation and incentive of the organization’s staff has been studied and generalized. It is noted that Ukrainian managers consider motivation as an instrument based on individual payments to each subordinate, which indicates that the process of motivation is limited to material approaches exclusively. Foreign systems of motivation and incentive of workers are studied in detail on the example of German, French, English, Swedish, Japanese and American models. All the main pros and cons of each model are analyzed. Comparison of the Ukrainian incentive system with the systems by other European countries considered was made and it was found that the national system is at a pretty low level. The possibilities of Ukrainian potential to have introduced foreign models are considered. It is noted that today Ukrainian enterprises and organizations need to create a system of values and culture of work to establish the Ukrainian national model of staff management. An exact copying one of the foreign models in Ukraine is impossible. First, it has to do with the mentality of Ukrainians; secondly, with the economic and political situation in the country; thirdly, with the financial condition of enterprises, etc. It is proposed and substantiated to combine elements from the incentive and motivation systems of Germany, the United States, France and some elements from the Great Britain’s. It is concluded that managers need to focus on the optimal combination of material and intangible motivating elements. The system of stimulating the work of staff in Ukrainian enterprises should clearly define the goals, establish the types of incentives in accordance with the results that are achieved, determine the system of assessment, period and timing of remuneration payments. The sooner Ukraine begins to combine various elements of foreign systems of motivation and incentive, the sooner it is possible to improve the competence of employees and their efficiency.

The article defines that every industrial energy enterprise in the structure of the production industry should develop an effective strategic plan for its innovative development, directed towards achieving a balance between its own solvent demand, existing supply volumes from scientific organizations and the investment opportunities. Taking account of the forecast of such kind, enterprises must define which production technologies should be developed and which should be abandoned. The increase of innovation potential should be preceded by projections of investment volumes and aggregate financing for the development of science and technology. It is concluded that the achievement of strategically innovative goals depends directly on the clear coordination of interaction between the various functional structures of industrial energy enterprises, rapid response to legal novations and the current internal situation. At the same time, an equally important forecast is both the external, aimed at verifying the compliance of economic results of industrial enterprises and a certain level of innovation potential with existing adaptive norms, and the internal, purpose of which is to ensure the implementation of innovative decisions, as well as to prevent undesirable consequences when changing the innovation-investment norms. Solving the related problems and shortcomings of the strategic system will help stimulate entrepreneurial production activity, increase business and investment innovation activity of industrial energy enterprises, as well as stimulating scientific-technological progress, technological renewal of production and, as result, the entry of national industrial enterprises into the global market of high-tech products.

The article is aimed at generalizing the theoretical foundations of the formation of the economic security system, which determine its attributive characteristics. The theoretical basis for the formation of the economic security system is the synthesis of theories of economics, theory of systems, disaster theory, conflict theory, synergistic and risk theories. Each of the mentioned theories ensures the formation of the properties of economic security. The theory of economics defines the fundamental foundations of organization of economic security, which is the formation of a secure environment for the implementation of the system of internal and external interrelations of enterprise. The theory of systems defines the structural and functional organization of economic security. The disaster theory helps to identify the limits of the enterprise’s sustainability and define the critical values of indicators. The conflict theory defines the sources of threats, dangers and risks associated with the realization of the social-biological properties of the enterprise’s staff. The synergistic theory defines the behavior of enterprise in the conditions of internal or external hazards and risks, mechanisms of its development in the conditions of imbalance. And the risk theory, in turn, provides the system of economic security with a methodical instrumentarium for their diagnosis and management, which allows to implement the functionality of the economic security system as a system of forecasting, preventing and reducing the negative impact of risks on the enterprise’s performance.

The article improves the system of management of industrial enterprises in terms of innovative directions of formation. It is defined that the system of innovative management of changes and the directions of formation in enterprises is represented by competitive regulators of the processes of adaptation of industrial enterprises to short-term changes in the conditions of volatility of the market environment. The process of forming potential opportunities for the development of industrial enterprises is one of the dominant directions of its innovation strategy, requiring the creation and activation of organizational-economic opportunities and managerial competences to achieve strategic, tactical and operational objectives. The introduction of innovations in the production process and on the delivery of services is closely related to marketing and logistics activities, is conditioned by the adaptation of novations in order to form the value-oriented directions called to meet the needs of consumers. The innovation phase is characterized by the basic-determinating need to define the market segment that the potential consumers are focused upon. During the phase of implementation of marketing as one of the fundamental links of the enterprise's market activity, key instruments of the nature of the change in performance parameters are substantiated. In today's economic environment, the dominant interests of enterprise are the basis for the development of a mechanism for ensuring innovative development. The decision-making mechanism in terms of the innovative directions of formation of a system of management of industrial enterprises is considered as a set of managerial-financial, economic-legal, organizational-oriented means to meet the enterprise's objectives, taking into account interests of the external environment. This, taking into attention the peculiarities of the enterprise's innovation activities, ensures a profit, the amount of which is sufficient that the enterprise operate in an economically functional security.

The article is aimed at improving the existing theoretical and methodological approaches to the organization of the system of financial-economic security of enterprise. On the basis of the existing scientific heritage the authors’ own approach to formation of the system of financial-economic security of enterprise is proposed, covering the essence, components and mechanism, which is the aggregate of corresponding methods, levers and instruments. The methodological basis of formation of the system of financial-economic security of enterprise is proposed taking into view the unity of interrelated elements. It is specified that the functioning of the system of financial-economic security of enterprise should consider a number of fundamental components: principles of construction, its organizational and managerial structure, efficient functioning of departments and services, including the management of financial-economic security. Both the system and the safety-oriented approaches are aimed at achieving the goals and objectives of the enterprise’s activity in the current and strategic dimensions. Prospect for further research in this direction is elaboration of a strategy for the development of financial-economic security, which should be characterized by close interconnection and mutual dependence of its main components.

The article considers the content and classification of methods of stress management, which provides systematization of their varieties by the number of existing (character, time interval of application, direction of impact, period of action, way of account the interests of employees, level of formation, method of substantiation, content) and the allocated new attributes (scale of changes in terms of stress management systems, level of novelty at enterprise, consistency), which allows to choose the appropriate types of such methods in overcoming undesirable deviations that have a significant negative impact on the functioning of economic entities. It has been determined that such methods are formed in the implementing of technology of stress-management; are the result of management activities of the steering subsystem of organization at each level of management; have alternative nature; form an information-management base for the adoption of managerial decisions in terms of the systems of stress administration. It has been specified that, with the assistance of certain methods in terms of stress management systems, managers can track existing and potential problems in the complex and dynamic environment of the organization, identify their relationships, identify «weak signals», adjust goals and tasks of management of critical undesirable deviations, determine indicators and criteria of stress-management, etc.

The article is aimed at studying the existing scientific approaches to the process of modeling the economic mechanism of intellectual security of enterprise. The author has allocated three approaches: process; based on IDFE0 methodology; system, considering the entities of economic activity as complex systems; and the so-called «information», based on the theory of economic mechanisms. The main features of each of the studied approaches have been disclosed, suggesting to consolidate them to obtain a synergistic effect in the construction of the economic mechanism of intellectual security of enterprises. The basic principles of creation of mechanisms of intellectual security of enterprise have been developed. Also, on the basis of the main postulate of the theory of economic mechanisms – reverse design, the cyclic passes process of designing the economic mechanism of intellectual security of enterprise has been illustrated. That, certainly, does not exhaust the theoretical problematics in the field of modeling the economic mechanisms of intellectual security of enterprise, raising new challenges for further researches.

The article is concerned with substantiating the theoretical and practical foundations for building a system of customs services for enterprises.

The article identifies urgency of the enterprise life cycle theory in the system of managing financial and economic activity of an enterprise, identifies problems and insufficiently developed theoretical issues, namely, identification of the main indicator of the state of an organisation on the life cycle curve, which thoroughly characterises its financial and economic activity. It develops and offers a methodical approach to identification of the financial and economic state of an enterprise. The article analyses, generalises and identifies main sub-systems of an enterprise within the proposed methods. On the basis of analysis of works of scientists the article identifies main indicators that characterise each subsystem of an enterprise and identifies the entropy method, having analysed the existing methods of calculation of an integral indicator, as the most justified approach to calculation of the enterprise life cycle integral indicator.

The article sets a problem of building a system of economic security of an enterprise with consideration of impossibility and inexpediency of such building on the hypothetical and logical mathematical basis. The task of ensuring functioning efficiency of such a system should be placed on the social element in the system – a human being, his or her consciousness, ability to solve problems intuitively, understanding and ensuring adaptability of the system to changes. A formal characteristic of the social element in the system is a behavioural stereotype and social role. Theoretical basis of building the system of economic security of an enterprise with a behavioural stereotype as a backbone factor is the theory of functional systems, which gives a possibility to consider understanding of behavioural acts in the functional system and behavioural stereotypes in the socio-economic system to be connected to such an extent that these two notions could be used for creation of the system of economic security of an enterprise. The article develops the author’s own model of the system of economic security of an enterprise in which the factor that stimulates the system elements to reflective and supraliminal expedient behaviour is a dominating motivation and starting afference of people, being part of these elements, which is fixed in certain behavioural stereotypes. Activity of each of the system elements depends on certain behavioural stereotypes on the basis of which the mechanisms of functioning of one or another element are based.
