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.

Relevance. Digital transformation has been identified as one of the main trends and catalyst for the country’s scientific and technological development for the next decade. From a management point of view, the process of digital transformation requires a phased and strategic elaboration of steps and an associated system of strategic development targets, including monitoring the achievement of set goals. Taking into account the growing number of technologies and their specificity, it is necessary to combine all factors and elements of the system and formulate the most complete definition of a model for managing the digital transformation of an organization. Aim of the study. Development of a reference model for managing the digital transformation of an organization. This study is aimed at complementing the existing literature on managing the digital transformation of an organization. Research objectives. 1. Conduct a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications in the field of managing digital transformation of an organization, identify top fields of study. 2. Identify key research topics in the field of managing digital transformation of an organization through structuring scientific publications. 3. Present and characterize the components of the reference model for managing the digital transformation of an organization. Materials and methods. To achieve the aim, a search and theoretical analysis of scientific literature, collection of information from open sources with identification of relevant information, processing and systematic analysis of the data obtained were carried out. To carry out the bibliometric analysis, the Lens.org database was chosen as the most accessible and fairly extensive research platform. The data obtained by filtering (1184 out of 4858 scientific publications) were processed using artificial intelligence using Atlas nomic in order to structure the research and identify key topics. To present the results, a system of general scientific methods and approaches was used: abstract-logical and structural-logical analysis, system analysis, graphic and cartographic methods. Results. Based on the results of a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications in the field of managing the digital transformation of an organization, fields of study were identified, among which the top were: business (686 publications), computer science (570 publications), process management (309 publications), and business models (286 publications). Structuring the final sample of scientific publications made it possible to identify key topics in the field of managing the digital transformation of an organization: digitalization, uncertainty, leadership, business process management, business strategy, servitization, multi-agent systems, diagnostics, productivity improvement, blockchain technologies, cloud, etc. According to the results of the study, the reference model for managing the digital transformation of an organization, developed by the author, included the following components: a control subsystem, which, through digital transformation, had a direct impact on the managed subsystem of the organization (business processes / business model). Other components were legal regulation, digital technologies, infrastructure, etc. The recommendations presented can be useful from a theoretical and practical point of view when creating and implementing an organization’s digital transformation strategy. Conclusions. As the results show, in recent years there has been a progressive interest in studying the issues of managing the digital transformation of organizations, which must be approached from the point of view of an integrated system. The effectiveness of this process directly depends on well-developed plans and budgets, taking into account strategic and operational risks, assessing changes and taking improvement measures at all levels of transformation. Directions for further research. Future research could be built on the results obtained by developing methodological support for the digital transformation of an organization, taking into account strategic priorities. In addition, future research could include questions about the key digital competencies required to achieve organizations’ strategic digital transformation priorities, examining how knowledge and skill sets change over time as organizations adapt and learn from their digital transformation experiences.

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.

The research used: a theoretical approach (based on the analysis of theoretical aspects of blockchain technology and its application in agriculture) and a practical approach (on the basis of the proposed methodology, the economic feasibility of using blockchain technology in the economic activity of an agricultural enterprise was determined). Results. The main areas of influence of blockchain technology in agriculture have been determined. It has been established that every year the amount of funding for the implementation of blockchain technology is increasing, and the reasons are identified. The world experience of implementing blockchain technology in the economic activity of agricultural producers is considered. The results of a survey of agricultural producers of the Mykolaiv and Kirovohrad regions regarding their awareness of blockchain technology and the benefits of its implementation are highlighted. The objective reasons that affect the implementation of blockchain technology in agricultural production are determined and ways of its popularization are proposed. An action algorithm for the introduction of blockchain technology for agricultural producers has been developed. Agricultural producers who are potentially ready and financially able to implement this technology in their activities have been identified. The main factors affecting the cost of implementing blockchain technology in agricultural production have been identified. A methodology for calculating the economic feasibility of implementing blockchain technology according to optimistic and pessimistic options is proposed, and the calculation of the net present value, payback period, discounted payback period of the project, internal rate of return and the rate of return on the example of a specific enterprise of the Mykolaiv region is carried out. Based on theoretical and practical approaches, a system of elements for implementing this technology in agriculture has been developed. Originality / scientific novelty. The novelty consists in the implementation of a comprehensive theoretical study of the problems and prospects of the implementation of blockchain technology in agriculture; for the first time, a system of elements for the implementation of blockchain technology in agriculture was developed; an algorithm of actions for agricultural enterprises that plan to implement this technology was improved; a methodology for calculating the economic feasibility of implementing blockchain technology in an agricultural enterprise was proposed. Practical value / significance. The results can be used in the process of decision-making by business entities regarding the implementation of blockchain technology and the calculation of its economic feasibility, during the optimization of the processes of management of production, financing, supply chains, etc., as well as by scientists, government bodies and other entities that are interested in implementation of blockchain technology in agriculture.

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the theoretical, methodological and methodical foundations for the formation of the system of accounting, analysis and information base of food losses and waste in Ukraine. Methodology / approach. The collection of information for conducting a scientific study was carried out using qualitative (literature review, research of ideas and experience on research issues) and quantitative (study of quantitative indicators of food losses in production and sales chains in Ukraine) methods based on the description of secondary research (synthesis of existing knowledge and analysis of established trends). Data analysis was carried out using thematic analysis (systematization of scientific results from research issues), statistical method (construction of a trend line and determination of forecast data), the method of comparisons (selection of a specific system based on qualitative analysis) and generalizations (substantiation of proposals and formation of conclusions). Results. The need to introduce in Ukraine the accounting methodology for food losses and waste, recommended by FAO is determined; the expediency of using the mass flow analysis method is substantiated; systematized data sources of information provision for food losses and waste monitoring. As a result of a critical analysis of theoretical, methodological and methodical principles regarding the formation of a system of accounting, analysis and information base of food losses and waste in Ukraine, the authors proposed a system of accounting, analysis and information provision of food losses and waste in Ukraine. The proposed system includes 1) a methodological basis for accounting for food losses and waste, 2) a method of analysis in the accounting system food losses and waste, and 3) information support for accounting and analysis of the process of food losses and waste. Originality / scientific novelty. For the first time, a study of the methodology of accounting for food losses and waste, methods of analysis and information provision of this process in the EU was conducted, based on the results of which approaches to the formation of a corresponding system in Ukraine were proposed. Practical value / implications. The application of a unified methodology of the food losses and waste accounting system will allow accurate quantitative assessment of food losses and waste in Ukraine, which will be suitable for international comparison, tracking progress in achieving the target indicators of the SDG12, developing relevant policies and applying effective frameworks for reduction of food losses and waste in Ukraine. This work emphasizes the need for further empirical research aimed at the quantitative analysis of food losses and waste in Ukraine, as well as the assessment of the losses caused by the russian federation in the agricultural sector and the reduction of the food potential of our country, which is a significant component of reparations and contributions from the aggressor state.

The support system for strategic planning of foreign economic activities of European Union (EU) enterprises is considered. It was determined that a pure strategy does not lead to excellent results and does not give results without support, programs, strategies that finance the activities of enterprises, which includes foreign economic activities. This study discussed the EU instruments constituting the support scheme in the Member States, most of which are implemented through national and regional trade promotion organizations and associations. Despite the large number of measures announced in the EU strategy and the horizontal nature of the SME FEA policy, and the coordination of the implementation of the strategy as a result, coordination between EU services has been very good in some areas (e.g. sections of the free trade agreement (FTA), dedicated to small and medium-sized enterprises), but this does not apply to the various EU co-funded networks such as EEN, Startup Europe or the ELAN network. EU Member States with the highest overall growth in total trade (the sum of imports and exports) tend to have higher export growth rates (compared to import growth rates), while those Member States with relatively low overall growth rates in total trade tend to, indicate higher rates of import growth and require strategic planning of foreign economic activity.

The OECD has called for a stronger and more dynamic sustainable tax-paying culture that countries must cultivate and a more robust ethical profile for individual taxpayers. The individual tax culture might vary in the significance attributed to values influencing taxpayers’ perceptions toward taxation. As the hierarchy of values can be influenced through manipulation, policymakers can leverage knowledge of the relationship between higher-order personal values and individual tax culture to enhance tax revenue collection. This study aims to measure the relationship between Schwartz’s higher-order personal values and taxpayers’ culture, assessed through attitudes toward tax evasion, tax compliance, and the tax system. A survey was administered to the Slovene taxpayers (69 accountants and 130 non-accountants). The assumption was that the personal values system of accountants ought to underpin their ethical tax decision-making because of the professional accountants’ ethical codes. As professional accountants play a crucial role in maintaining stability for businesses, they hold a significant position in ensuring the effective operation of taxation systems. Exploratory factor analysis was used, and the analysis was carried out using the principal component method. The findings indicate that some higher-order personal values, particularly self-transcendence (r = 0.244) and self-enhancement (r = –0.403), are significant in explaining ethical behavior. Within the self-enhancement value, power and achievement strongly influence the ethical behavior of accountants. The perception of power associated with their expertise makes accountants less tax-compliant. Conservation values are of greater importance for non-accountants (r = 0.280). The results enhance comprehension of values’ influence on ethical decision processes.

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.

Relevance. The problem of technological sovereignty is being explored in the context of sanctions against Russia. The goal is to form an approach to balanced solutions in ensuring technological sovereignty in end-to-end technologies through domestic R&D and intellectual potential. Methodology and methods. The provisions of the system economic paradigm are used as the basis of the system analysis and synthesis of the Russian economy, modeling the interactions of key sectors of the social system, and formulating conclusions. Results. A significant degree of dependence both on foreign technologies and on other components of imports is presented in dynamics and in the context of activities. The possibilities and limitations of Russia's technological sovereignty in relation to the field of information technology as one of the critical ones are given. Two scenarios of technological sovereignty are considered: import substitution and a radical transformation of the economic model as a whole. For this, simulation models are presented. Novelty. Structural and functional models based on platform solutions in the field of IT imitate the interactions of enterprises searching for technologies within a system that includes not three, but four collective actors. Unlike traditional approaches, the division of economy on the business and enterprise sector, which differ in goals (profit and continuity of the reproduction cycle), allows you to avoid the dominance of any one goal in ensuring technological sovereignty, to overcome the contradiction between short-term and long-term goals. The results of a systematic approach lead to network structures without loss of functionality in conditions of limited resources, provide scientific knowledge about the importance of collaboration between actors as a fundamental factor in the transformation of the economic model and technological sovereignty in the long term. Conclusions. Collaborative forms of interaction serve as a means of self-organization and formation of innovative ecosystems. A systematic view of the structure and functions of actors contributes to the development of balanced economic, institutional, organizational measures to ensure technological sovereignty and increase their validity. The tetrad representation of the functions of the four actors allows us to explore ways to obtain end-to-end technologies not only in the field of IT; this also applies to further research on the topic of Russia's technological sovereignty.

The development of the mathematical basis of methods for model construction in various fields of science and technology today is very intensive and interdisciplinary. From the perspective of quantitative optimization methods, mathematical models of processes are of the utmost importance, whereby these can be generally represented in the form of linear algebraic equations or equivalent representations. Within the procedure of defining assumptions and adopting a process model, the problem formulation is conducted, whereby this refers to determining the level of problem decomposition and the level of detail in which the problem will be solved. The procedure of mathematical model determination, based on a process model, involves constructing a specific model that shows the relationships between the variables which describe the process, as well as the criterion of the solution effectiveness. The field of operations research that deals with this type of models is mathematical programming. Mathematical programming models represent a class of optimization models due to the fact that their goal is finding optimal solutions to problems. Analogously, the basic feature of today's modern economy is the penetration of mathematical methods into the essence of all economic research. In this context, the main aim of this paper is to point out the growing importance of the application of mathematical techniques, methods and models in economics as a science, as their proper application in economics can reduce many ambiguities in economic theory and practice.

Purpose – This paper conceptualised the distinctive capabilities system and tested its relationship between small and medium enterprise (SME) non-financial and financial performance, encompassing leadership and learning orientation as mediators, moderators and moderators’ mediators. Design/methodology/approach – The research design is exploratory, quantitative and cross-sectional. The study employed partial least squares path modelling for testing the direct, mediation and moderation effects, and, for testing moderated mediation, the author adopted PROCESS analysis. Before testing the hypotheses, a confirmatory factor analysis procedure was applied to the measurement model validity test. Findings – Our empirical findings confirm that (1) learning orientation has a positive and significant implication as a moderator between the distinctive capabilities system and SME performance; (2) the distinctive capabilities system has a significant relationship with leadership and learning orientation, and leadership has a significant relationship with learning orientation and (3) the distinctive capabilities system has no direct impact on performance. These findings suggest that, by nature, the distinctive capabilities system has an indirect impact on SME performance, which must be understood as a consequence of living “far-from-equilibrium” and being forced to learn and adapt to come up with better market configurations. Originality/value – This study intends to contribute to the existing literature in three ways: (1) it proposes the distinctive capabilities system definition; (2) it highlights the system’s features and benefits that make it a core construct for SMEs surviving and thriving and (3) it shows the causal relationship between the leadership capability and learning orientation and the distinctive capabilities system and performance.

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.

Today, information technology plays a special role in the development of business entities, creating new promising management areas, making it possible to optimize business processes and positively affect the operation quality and general efficiency of enterprises. This fact contributes to the scientists’ interest in conducting research in e-business as a new, promising area of economic activity. Given the relevance of this research area, the article considers theories describing the formation and development of e-business as a whole system. Using methodological apparatus of the systemic approach as a universal concept of perceiving systems of different nature, the article formulates its own interpretation of the "e-business system" category. The latter is suggested to be considered as a holistic, single object of study. a set of relationships between economic entities occurring in the process of buying, selling, producing and exchanging goods and services due to the use of information and communication technologies, having its own purpose and complex structure, and interacting with other environmental systems. A model of such a system has also been designed. In addition, the article considers the structural features of such a system. To do this, attributes for grouping the main elements in the e-business system are identified, namely: the content attribute (the method of separating the components of this system depending on economic activities that can be attributed to e-business) and the subjectivity attribute (studying e-business areas by analyzing the peculiarities of the relationship between individual economic entities). Their essence and the corresponding components of the specified system, which are identified based on these attributes, are considered

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 existing literature documents that computer simulations can reveal how characteristics of micro-level individuals give rise to macro-level phenomena of systemic wholes. This paper seeks to establish such an important simulation-based observation as a theoretical result on a sound foundation. Going beyond addressing when holistic phenomena can naturally emerge from micro-level characteristics, this paper investigates how and why many macro-level entities appear to answer market calls through organically gathering micro-level agents into uniformly-oriented operational wholes, even though these agents have inconsistent or even conflicting interests. This paper develops conclusions based on results of systems science and establishes a sufficient condition under which characteristics of micro-level agents can naturally lead to the appearance of macro-level properties of a systemic whole even though the former are heterogeneous and behave in an unintended and uncoordinated manner. This paper suggests to root each theoretical result of economics on elementary facts of personal belief-value systems and expands methods of networks and computer simulations to those of systems science. It explains when macro socioeconomic phenomena emerge out of unintended and uncoordinated actions and interactions of micro economic men, and provides a more general approach for developing reliable conclusions than those observed from computer simulations. It additionally derives conditions for when macro-level economic entities appear to answer market calls and how micro-level individuals with inconsistent or even conflicting interests can be organically congregated into operational business organizations.

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.

Even if, after the integration into the European Union in 2007, Romania had a thriving economy, it ranks in the top of the underdeveloped countries, where the minimum wage is among the last in the European Union. Although the post-social transition and European integration have shown themselves full of benefits, there are major differences between the capital and large cities and rural areas in our country. This influences the population in the migration process. The agrarian system has come up with a new concept, namely regional development, a concept that includes the set of economic activities taking place within a region, the investments made in the private sector, the reduction of the unemployment rate and, above all, the proposals initiated to increase the standard of living. This article is based on an indication of the problems facing the South – East Region and the current needs of the agricultural system and involves the creation of a plan of measures and techniques to increase performance in rural areas.

Nowadays, it is imperative to use forecasting technologies that are most likely to predict the development of economic systems. Foresight technologies based on a combination of strategic analysis and forecasting of key indicators provide a high level of probability of achieving certain results and contribute to shaping conditions for their achievement. Among economic systems, tourism sector is the most vulnerable to the negative impact of the global pandemic. In 2020, its revenues fell by 70%, leading to an unprecedented crisis. Accordingly, questions arise about the Ukrainian tourism sector’s ability to use the crisis as a prerequisite for recovery and growth.Based on the results of a two-round survey using the Delphi method among experts (56 at the first stage and 42 at the second) representing various tourism directions for Ukraine’s tourism sector up to 2030, six strategic development priorities were formed. Key indicators were identified, such as contribution to GDP (7-8%), place in the global tourism competitiveness rating (60-70th position among 140 countries), and average annual growth rate of international arrivals (5-10%). It has been determined that in case of the end of the world pandemic, the Ukrainian tourism sector can achieve the indicators of “pre-crisis” functioning in 1-3 years.The proposed architectonics of the foresight platform in the context of digitalization of network communications will ensure the adoption of management decisions to develop Ukraine’s tourism sector in the domestic and international markets. It will strengthen its position, image, and strategic sustainability in the markets for tourist services. AcknowledgmentThe paper reflects the results of the authors in the framework of studies conducted in 2018–2020 at the Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics by order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (Paradigmatic and Conceptual Shifts in the Economic Theory of the 21st Century) (Q1 2018 – Q4 2020; state registration number 0118U000126), and Formation of the National Brand of Ukraine in the International Environment (Q1 2018 – Q4 2020; state registration number 0118U000127)).

The article highlights the issues that lie in the plane of determining the nature and effectiveness of the management system of competitiveness of enterprises and its elements. On results undertaken studies it is set that a management a competitiveness is a permanent, systematic and purposeful process of influence on all levels managements on factors, that provide the production of high-quality and competitive goods. Applying the flow-chart of organizationally-economic mechanism of control system by the competitiveness of enterprise offered by scientists, in the article a study of activity of propulsion JSC "DNIPROAZOT" is undertaken after each of the blocks presented in a chart. Based on the analysis of the competitiveness management system of JSC "DNIPROAZOT" outlined a range of problematic issues for the company, such as insufficient efficiency of personnel management system and motivation of its work, as well as product quality management system. Taking into account the obtained results, the ways of solving the situation at the enterprise are suggested. It is offered: introduction of a line for the production of phosphate-free washing powders, which will conquer new niches in the market of eco-products, create a positive image and, finally, increase the company's revenues; introduction of the position of SMM-manager for advertising in social networks, which will increase the number of sales through effective communication with customers through social networks, the promotion of the brand of JSC "DNIPROAZOT"; the creation of quality circles will have a positive impact on improving product quality through continuous implementation and improvement, saving resources, forming a corporate culture based on respect, democracy, awareness of the value of labor and resources, improving the education of workers, etc.; introduction of a system of depreciation of employees whose actions or omissions affected the emergence of production shortages (at the same time, the data in the technical documentation will be true and, thus, will reduce the time to correct inaccuracies and reduce production stagnation, as well as reduce the number of complaints from customers); introduction of a customs broker in the staff, who will be more interested in fast customs clearance and customs clearance of goods, will timely inform the management about the change of customs legislation and will know for which goods the customs duty has increased or decreased in order to save.

The article examines the impact of financial support on the management of economic entities and develops a methodical approach to assessing the level of financial support of the system of adaptive management of construction companies. It is noted that today the introduction of modern management systems into the practical activities of construction companies, capable of adapting business entities to the existing conditions of doing business, is of particular importance. It is the financial support that needs special attention in the system of adaptive management of construction companies. The main existing approaches of Ukrainian and foreign scientists to the definition of «financial security» of economic entities are considered. It is established that the financial support of construction companies has certain features related to the specifics of production and economic activities and existing management systems. It is emphasized that the financial support of construction companies significantly affects the overall management system and effective management decisions, due to the possibility of creating certain conditions to maximize net cash flow, the growth of which will increase the self-financing of the entity and reduce its dependence on external sources. The key characteristics and features of financial support of the system of adaptive management of construction enterprises are highlighted. It is concluded that the proposed methodical approach to assessing the level of financial support of the system of adaptive management of construction companies allows to build a universal reliable simulation model with a predetermined level of efficiency and the ability to make additional changes. It is proposed, in the future, to assess the level of financial security of construction companies as an element of adaptive management, which will certainly allow you to make effective management decisions on all activities of the business entity.

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.

Abstract. Introduction. The trends in the formation of the post-industrial space dictate the need to find ways to develop and grow the resource component of production. In the era of the knowledge economy, it is innovations that become the main factor in the strategic growth of enterprises. Enterprises that inefficiently use their innovative potential sooner or later give way to advanced organizations in the market. The latter, applying innovations, can reduce production costs, receive additional profit, strengthen competitive advantages, maintain or increase their market share. Many researchers of the issue of management and development of innovative potential consider it as a key element in building a multifaceted complex and sustainable structure. At the same time, analysis of economic literature allows us to conclude that, on the one hand, the introduction of various areas of innovation in an enterprise is possible only if it has sufficient innovative potential, and on the other hand, as an object of management, it has not yet been studied enough. Currently, there is no unity among researchers in understanding the essence and structure of assessing innovative potential. It is advisable to reveal the essence of the concept of ""innovative potential"" through the definition of its composite categories. Purpose. The aim of the article is a critical analysis of the available approaches of scientists to determining the essence and components of the innovative potential of an economic entity, their generalization and determining their own vision of the essence of this category. To solve the research goals and objectives set in the article, such general scientific and special research methods as analysis and synthesis, generalization, aspect, structural and system approaches were used. Results. The essence of the innovative potential of the enterprise, as a system consisting of a combination of resources, available and potential opportunities for the introduction of innovations, as well as the ability of the enterprise to realize them through the manifestation of high innovation activity in the process of achieving the goals of innovative development, is substantiated. Conclusions. Understanding of the innovative potential as a system can ensure high and constant competitiveness of the enterprise.

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.

ABSTRACT: The article describes an innovative metrizable idea for systemic assessments of product quality within the baking industry. Complex product quality analysis requires the employment of metrizability criteria for factors that impact the quality of the product, and these are called determinants. Therefore, such analysis is only possible with the use of systems engineering. A system represents the potential of a manufacturing process, of major impact on quality. Composites of the manufacturing process make up the determinants of bread quality, grouped into three sets: raw materials, manufacturing technology, and manufacturing organization and technique. This paper also contains methodological implications for the construction of algorithms for manufacturing process potential determinants. Metrizable product quality assessment is a very important issue in the context of its implementation in manufacturing companies. Its use allows for obtaining comprehensive data on the quality status of a product. It is an important tool for analyzing and forecasting modern quality trends. The method presented in the article is new, innovative, and practical; and its vector representation may prove useful in Quality 4.0. The method could be an important point of reference for managers, directors, and decision makers who must determine the best metrizability criteria for systemic product quality assessments, and could prove useful in Industry 4.0 in the bakery industry. The main value of the paper is the presentation of a new, extensive method for systemic assessments of product quality based on vector analysis in industrial organization. We trialed the method in the baking industry. We concluded that the method is a contribution to management science, especially in the field of quality management, because this approach is not used in business and is not described in relevant international literature.

Today, information technology plays a special role in the development of business entities, creating new promising management areas, making it possible to optimize business processes and positively affect the operation quality and general efficiency of enterprises. This fact contributes to the scientists’ interest in conducting research in e-business as a new, promising area of economic activity. Given the relevance of this research area, the article considers theories describing the formation and development of e-business as a whole system. Using methodological apparatus of the systemic approach as a universal concept of perceiving systems of different nature, the article formulates its own interpretation of the “e-business system” category. The latter is suggested to be considered as a holistic, single object of study. a set of relationships between economic entities occurring in the process of buying, selling, producing and exchanging goods and services due to the use of information and communication technologies, having its own purpose and complex structure, and interacting with other environmental systems. A model of such a system has also been designed. In addition, the article considers the structural features of such a system. To do this, attributes for grouping the main elements in the e-business system are identified, namely: the content attribute (the method of separating the components of this system depending on economic activities that can be attributed to e-business) and the subjectivity attribute (studying e-business areas by analyzing the peculiarities of the relationship between individual economic entities). Their essence and the corresponding components of the specified system, which are identified based on these attributes, are considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Processed rubber material (bokar) is a commodity that has been the mainstay of the Indonesian government. In order to realize the hegemony of production, the government organizes a transmigration program. This is at the same time to overcome the population problem on the island of Java. This qualitative type of research was carried out using the Bogdan and Taylor field approach using time series data. Patton's data analysis process, presented with manageable data. The data interpretation uses ideal types, path dependency and contingency strategies and Neuman's domain analysis. Research in Rimbo Bujang, in the 1980-2020 period, shows that the rubber trading system in the ex-transmigration sites of Jambi Province can be classified into three phases: first, trade between transmigrant farmers and the government. Second, farmers trade with cooperatives and middlemen. Third, farmers trade with middlemen using an auction pattern. Although the transmigration program in Rimbo Bujang was successful, it still left socio-economic problems, triggered by the trade system which tends to ignore Islamic economic principles. Findings in the field indicate that the absence of the state in plantation smallholder commerce contributes to the moral hazard of market participants. The change of plantation varieties from rubber to oil palm in the last decade does not rule out the possibility of repeating the previous cycle of rubber trading patterns.

The authors define the innovation and entrepreneurship competence of education managers as mastering a certain level of developed knowledge, skills, values, attitudes, experience and qualities. The research is a system that includes an assessment technology outlining the assessment matrix containing a description of the levels, criteria and indicators of innovation and entrepreneurship competence of the future education managers. Necessary condition for solving the problem of preparing the education managers for their future professional activity presupposes the formation of motivational-value, cognitive, activity, personality and evaluative-reflective components being the components of their innovation and entrepreneurship competence. The results of practical application of innovation and entrepreneurial competence showed that a large proportion of students try their hand at starting and registering their own business. Raising the level of registered enterprises by students in 2008—2018 by more than 30 times is evidence not only of the introduction of digital technologies in education, but also of the growing availability of information technology and the Internet. The share of students who plan to start their own business after graduation reaches 50%, but a little more than 10% achieve the planned goals. Only 2.5% of students plan to join the family business, this share may increase to 4.5% in the future. The application of the system has provided a positive dynamic of the formation of innovation and entrepreneurship competence in the prospective education managers in all its structural components. The results of the implementation of this system have confirmed its effectiveness and expediency for application in the educational process of higher education institutions.

Abstract. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to modernize the state financial control system in Ukraine in the term of globalization and European integration processes. The normative and organizational bases of construction of the combined systems of the state financial control in the leading countries are defined. The advanced experience in the effective interaction of the state financial control bodies from different branches of the state power are systematized and analyzed. The expediency for functioning of the combined system of the state financial control with a combination of elements of parliamentary and governmental systems in Ukraine is substantiated. The scientific outcome of the study is the statement of the effective combination of elements of different branches of the state power in the state financial control systems in the leading countries and substantiation of expediency of such combination in Ukraine. Within analysis of the advanced experience in the organization of the combined systems of the state financial control and the provisions of current legislation, key links of the Ukrainian system of the state financial control were determined namely parliamentary, governmental and departmental financial control. Unlike the existing approaches the system structuring was carried out by institutions that implement a certain type of the state financial control. To strengthen the interaction of these links of the state financial control system in Ukraine and turn it into the only effective mechanism, it is proposed to adopt a conceptual legislative act on the state financial control which should result in the standardization of the relevant conceptual framework, thorough division of control bodies’ powers, introduction of an effective mechanism for their interaction and information exchange between them. Keywords: financial, control, system, state, audit, service, accounting chamber. JEL Classification F42, H72, H83, G28 Formulas: 0; fig.: 1; tabl.: 0; bibl.: 18.

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. Synthesis of the main concepts of these theories allowed to form the main attributive characteristics of the economic security system, ensuring its functionality on the basis of the implementation of the tasks indicated.

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 utility of performance measurement and management system can be said to have been proven, but the problem faced by both the theoreticians and practitioners is to set the right performance indicators. Developed models are tools that managers can use to measure and manage performance, but they need to be tailored to the context. Also, the trend towards using non-financial performance indicators makes it very difficult for managers to design a performance measurement and management system because it involves the integration of qualitative and non-quantitative variables and a profound understanding of the internal and external environment of the company.

The increase in the uncertainty of environment intensifies the existing manifestations of instability as well as the predictive assessments of size of risks in the process of enterprise’s activities. The presence of coherent interactions between internal and external processes makes enterprises form assets, organizational structures, and attract additional personnel; such interactions together implement the functions of enterprise’s protection from the threats of both internal and external origin. The management of economic security is a system concept including a set of functions on ensuring the security of assets as well as the processes and conditions of activities starting with the enterprise’s physical security and its assets and ending with the security of social and psychological environment of activities of enterprise’s employees, explains a variety of approaches to the investigation of economic security issues, and the width of problems on managing it. Such a variety of scientific researches requires the scientific summarizing and systematization of the exicting approaches according to the methodological regulations in the economic science. The article carries out the differentiation of concepts of «economic security system» as the steady aggregate of elements, and «economic security system management» as the process of the purposeful impact on the system and its elements. The author studies more deeply the economic essence of the concept of the object of the economic security system and the object of the economic security management. The principal scientific approaches to the enterprise’s economic security management are theoretically summarized. The methodological fundamentals on the economic security management concerning the accurate definitions of the object and the goal of the management are developed.
