Logistical approach to managing ship’s reserves in water transport companies (p. 169 - 174)
The article reveals inapplicability of classical models of optimisation of the period and volume of supply of reserves when managing reserves at water transport ships due to a discrete nature of supplies, due to which scheduled supplies of reserves should be done during arrival/departure of the ship into/out of the port. The article justifies a possibility of gaining additional economic effect when introducing the factor of cost of money in time by means of maximisation of flows of money payment into classical logistical models of optimisation of a consignment of orders when organising supplies of reserves. It develops a logistical approach to optimisation of supplies of reserves at water transport ships with consideration of a pronounced discrete character of supplies. It justifies that the optimal period of supply of ship reserves, which minimise costs of supplies of reserves and maximise money receipts from the use of ship reserves, is the time of ship’s stay in ports visited, which maximum value of the indicator of intensity of money flow corresponds to.

Specification of functions of monitoring economic activity of enterprises (p. 268 - 273)
The goal of the article lies in specification of the function of monitoring the economic activity of enterprises with respect to complementary “controlling” notion with the help of analysis of theoretical and methodological aspects of feedback. Analysing, systemising and generalising scientific works devoted to monitoring and controlling, the article shows a tendency of mixing the monitoring and controlling functions. In order to divide monitoring and controlling functions, the article formulates scientific principles in accordance with which this division should be done. This is the principle of reality chart, principle of historical succession, principle of mutual study of complementary notions and principle of minimum of inter-subject uncertainty. The article proves that the monitoring and controlling notions, as synthetic and complementary notions, should be described within the feedback theory. It justifies that the monitoring functions lie observation over the enterprise properties through their measurement and preservation of the obtained results. Controlling is the process based on monitoring, activity of which lies in the search for deviations from the standard (plan) and development of correcting decisions directed at achievement of goals of the enterprise. Development of the studied methods of management within the feedback theory would help to reduce uncertainty in their interpretation, which exists now in scientific circles.

Factors of formation of the dividend policy of joint stock companies (p. 247 - 252)
The article is devoted to justification of factors of formation of the dividend policy of Ukrainian public joint stock companies (PJSC) at the modern stage of development of corporate relations. It analyses specific features of the dividend policy of Ukrainian PJSC, which, in particular, shows that their financial results practically do not influence the practice of net profit distribution. It identifies main factors of formation of the corporate dividend policy and provides theoretical justification of the governing practice of net profit distribution by Ukrainian PJSC under the modern state of the stock market. It justifies that the unrepresentative listing of stock exchanges, extremely high concentration of capital and rather limited influence of institutes of joint investment are key factors that cause a very weak reaction of the Ukrainian securities market on payment of dividends, which, in its turn, is the main reason of rejection of expediency of development and realisation of the consistent dividend policy by overwhelming majority of joint stock companies.

Models of Balanced Metric Systems and Their Support Technologies (p. 268 - 273)
The aim of the paper is to analyze and research enterprise management systems and their support technologies. Basing on these results it is necessary to investigate whether it is possible and feasible to implement the BSC model in enterprises. The results of our analysis show that there is a need for creating and implementing the BSC model in state enterprises that repair and construct railcars. The model should comply with the company’s requirements and its characteristics. The study of GSP computer tech support has shown that there are many choices of software offered by Western, Russian and Ukrainian companies, but the systems are implemented only in large companies, such as oil and gas, telecommunications sector, banking sector as well as transport monopolist companies. Primarily, it is determined by the fact that most managers are not aware of the existence of such software. Not having been implemented in state railway companies yet, BSC is recommended for implementation in the company for railcars repair and construction companies, whose competitiveness will thus increase.

An Algorithm for Constructing a Balanced Business Portfolio of the Holding Company (p. 255 - 261)
The purpose of this paper is the creation of an algorithm of a balanced portfolio of a holding business. We propose an algorithm of the process of restructuring the business portfolio in order to achieve its balance. The creation of an algorithm is based on a systematic approach involving a comprehensive study of external and internal environment of the holding in their mutual influence and relationships. Balance indicators serve two basic principles of portfolio structure and combination of profitability and sustainability of the portfolio, which must follow the proportion of "golden section". The use of the basic strategic and tactical selection criteria and monitoring businesses in the business portfolio holding was suggested. Tactical criteria help to assess the capabilities of the existing businesses, strategic – opportunities of the industry in which this business is growing. A typical set of criteria to the ground and providing businesses of the holding was developed. Tactical criteria include: raw materials inventory turnover; pace of sales that evaluates the opportunity to make periodic payments to the turnover; availability of sufficient quantities of turnover; the possibility of monopolization (or capture of a bigger share of the market). Strategic criteria include: the profitability of the industry; stability of the industry; low level of risk in the industry; environmental cleanliness industry; prospects of the industry. An original set of criteria to provide business within the system, on the open market and the general criteria to provide business. The proposed set of criteria provides top management convenient and effective tool in the construction and subsequent monitoring of a balanced portfolio of businesses. The algorithm was used in the practice of the corporation "Ukrpodshipnik." Since each holding is a unique formation, the proposed algorithm and criteria for businesses can serve as a template for the practical application in each case. The originality of the approach lies in the fact that the author has outlined the boundaries of balance, the limited proportions of the "golden section"; the proposed algorithm and the basic criteria and providing businesses are universal for all of the business portfolio: from specialized holdings to diversified.

Formation of a Methodological Approach to Development of Integrated Marketing Communications (p. 202 - 208)
The article focuses on the development of a basic framework for a research and methodological approach to formation of a program of integrated marketing communications aimed at promotion of various goods/services by enterprises. The authors proposed to develop an IMC program based on the sequence of 12 stages of actions whose specific aspects are determined by the characteristics of the business operations of the enterprise. The top-priority task is identification of the target audience of the enterprise. The objective of the following stage is determination of the type of enterprise capable of satisfying the demand existing in the studied market. After that, the enterprise must identify the market and communication goals of the IMC agent in accordance with its market and marketing abilities. For the purpose of substantiating the choice of a method of development of IMC programs of enterprises, the authors proposed a matrix of correspondence of the type of an economic agent to the IMC program characteristics by the efficiency level. Depending on the implementation period, IMC programs fall into three types: short-term, medium-term, and long-term. Selection of suitable tools and marketing communication channels relies on the degree of involvement of the consumer relative to the goods characteristics, as well as the tools themselves and the avenue of promotion (“FCB” matrix). Communication messages are further formulated. The order of their issuance and placement in various communication channels are planned as a certain media plan. An important step in the development of the IMC program is establishment of the target level of IMC effects. In accordance with these and the level of overall marketing costs, the budget for implementation of the IMC program is formed. The final stage of the IMC program development is evaluation of the actual efficiency of the program. Article is written in Russian

The purpose of the article is to develop a typology of techniques for motivation of personnel at mechanical engineering enterprises providing for systematization of their forms on the basis of a number of the existing features and identified new ones, which are justified by the requirements of today. There has been proved the fragmentary character of developments in this area making it impossible to form basic prerequisites for studying the concept. It has been found that certain features of the typology of methods for motivating employees may also be signs of a typology of techniques for motivation of personnel at enterprises of mechanical engineering industry. Among the current signs of a typology of techniques for motivation of personnel at mechanical engineering enterprises it is proposed to use the following ones: the nature of the impact; results obtained, object of the impact; direction; nature of the objectives; scope of the anticipated changes in the existing motivation system; nature of the needs, at which the techniques are directed. In addition, expediency of introducing new features of the typology, namely: the novelty level (classic and innovative motivation techniques), level of individualization (individual and standard); level of formalization (formalized at the high, medium and low level), source of the need for formation and implementation (the techniques, which necessity is specified by the enterprise, and the techniques, which necessity is specified by the business environment), origin (“field” and “office” ones). These results allow forming a holistic view of the diversity of techniques for motivation of personnel at mechanical engineering enterprises as well as reasonable choosing among them their individual types at improving the motivation system. Prospects for further research in this direction should be allocation and systematization of the factors influencing the choice of one or another technique for motivation of personnel at enterprises of mechanical engineering industry.

The Scientific and Methodological Principles of Modeling Consumer Behavior in the Value-Based Enterprise Management (p. 169 - 174)
The need to improve the conceptual framework for managing the activity of domestic industrial enterprises in view of perspectives of their entering the EU markets has been actualized. The problems of practical implementation in Ukraine of the concept of Value Based Management, which is an effective tool for managing capitalization of enterprises in the corporate sector, have been identified. It was emphasized that because of the high instability of the economic activity environment there increase the risks of investing capital into capital-intensive industrial sectors, which requires the development of the VBM concept to reduce the dependence of the enterprise management results on the state of the stock market. There has been offered the author’s definition of the essence of value-based management as a process of formation and implementation of complex solutions aimed at the creation, development and long-term preservation of the competitive advantage in a dynamic market by maximizing the customer value embodied in the enterprise products and services. It was noted that this definition forms the scientific and methodological basis for modeling consumer behavior. The technological and cognitive components in the process of forming (increasing) consumer value of production of industrial enterprises, which became the structural basis for simulating consumer behavior, have been identified. The technological component takes into account the peculiarities of goods production processes within the existing manufacturing and organizational technologies; the cognitive one is characterized by the state and dynamics of the external environment. It was emphasized that such the structuring of consumer value provides for increasing the speed of decision-making to influence consumer behavior. Article is written in Ukrainian

Peculiarities of Corporate Culture Development under Conditions of Remote Working (p. 175 - 180)
The paper analyzes the significance and peculiarities of corporate culture formation for remote employees. Particular attention is paid to instruments that allow creating a team in the absence of the usual office environment. There have been defined the signs of trust manifestation that distinguish the corporate culture in a team with experience of teamwork and without such experience — a level of weakness manifestation and recognition of mistakes, presence of critics from colleagues, asking for recourse, interest in colleagues’ experience and skills. According to the signs the necessary management practices for the development and creation of the corporate culture has been offered. It is noted that the team with the experience of teamwork at the early stages acts quite consistently adhering to the declared standards, rules and basic values. However, even under these conditions, the corporate culture is growing weaker in time. And here it would be helpful to use the management practices that do not replace personal contact but are maximally close to it. All management practices are classified in accordance with the directions of the corporate culture development, namely, creation of effective social intranet, establishment of quality communication, transparent motivation and clear description of the control sequences, description and establishment of clear guidelines, development of personal effectiveness of employees, simplification of the project communication process, creation of “virtual coolers”, the philosophy of “getting into the body” of a remote employee, monitoring professional burnout, etc. Article is written in Ukrainian

Using the Methods of “360 Degrees” and “Assessment-Center” for Competence Assessment of Specialists (p. 216 - 221)
The aim of the research is substantiating the feasibility of applying the methods of “360 degrees” and “assessment-center” to evaluate the competence of specialists of economic entities in Ukraine. In practice under modern conditions the use of the National Qualifications Framework is very limited and reduced to application in the field of higher and vocational education. The acquisition of competences can be regarded as the process of forming the professional culture to achieve the goals in the professional training of personnel. The process of managing competencies includes the creation of competence models for different groups of professions and jobs. The feature of the assessment method “assessment-center” is that in parallel with it other methods of appraisal can be used as well. In the process of applying the method “360 degrees” there takes place polling of the employee himself/herself, his/her immediate superior, peers, subordinates, customers of the assessed employee. The main purpose of feedback in this case is to provide the employee with systematic information on assessing the level of development of his/her competences. The paper presents a comprehensive assessment with using the methods of “360 degrees” and “assessment-center” that, unlike other models of assessment, not only allows carrying out selection of employees qualitatively but also determining the current and future competences, planning the direction for training, formation of personnel reserve and career promotion of employees.

Formation of a Methodological Approach to Evaluating the State of Management of Enterprise Flow Processes (p. 154 - 166)
The formation of a methodological approach to evaluating management of the state of enterprise flow processes has been considered. Proceeding from the developed and presented in literary sources theoretical propositions on organization of management of enterprise flow processes, the hypothesis of the study is correlation of quantitative and qualitative evaluations of management effectiveness and formation of the integral index on their basis. The article presents stages of implementation of a methodological approach to evaluating the state of management of enterprise flow processes, which implies indicating the components, their characteristics and methods of research. The composition of indicators, on the basis of which it is possible to evaluate effectiveness of management of enterprise flow processes, has been determined. Grouping of such indicators based on the flow nature of enterprise processes has been performed. The grouping of indicators is justified by a pairwise determination of canonical correlations between the selected groups (the obtained high correlation coefficients confirmed the author’s systematization of indicators). It is shown that a specificity of the formation of a methodological approach to evaluating the state of management of enterprise flow processes requires expansion in the direction of aggregation of the results and determination of factors that influence effectiveness of flow processes management. The article carries out such aggregation using the factor analysis. Distribution of a set of objects into different classes according to the results of the cluster analysis has been presented. To obtain an integral estimation of effectiveness of flow processes management, the taxonomic index of a multidimensional object has been built. A peculiarity of the formed methodological approach to evaluating the state of management of enterprise flow processes is in the matrix correlation of integral indicators calculated on the basis of the taxonomic index of development of quantitative (characterizing the effectiveness of management of enterprise flow processes) and qualitative (determine the degree of logistization of management system elements) evaluations, which provides for justifying scenarios of the enterprise strategic behavior in functional areas of logistics.

Estimatological Aspect in the Science of Economic Security (p. 167 - 173)
The content of estimological aspects in the science of economic security (measurement and evaluation of the enterprise economic security) has been disclosed. It is shown that the establishment of the estimation system in the science of economic security began with its algorithmic aspects, in which the laws, principles, logic, estimation algorithms are reflected in several existing approaches to estimation. There have been analyzed the content, advantages and limitations of the most common in estimation of the enterprise economic security approaches: functional (or complex), indicator and expert one. It is shown that each of the analyzed approaches is based on using appropriate instruments, none of them is recognized to be ideal, the approaches do not compete with each other as they use different instrumentation. The expediency of applying to the estimation of economic security the matrix approach, which is not widely spread in the estimatology in the science of economic security, has been considered. There was shown the sequence of formation of simple matrices, and for the generalization of partial estimates of the enterprise economic security derived from a set of simple matrices, it is proposed to use the profiling of partial estimates, which allows on the basis of the results of visual arrangement of quadrants of simple matrices to get an idea of the economic security of the enterprise and the “bottlenecks” in it.

A Statistical Algorithm of Disaggregating the Industrial Enterprise Restructuring Strategy (p. 174 - 182)
The aim of the article is to develop and test an algorithm of disaggregating the strategy plan for restructuring industrial enterprises within the concept of optimal planning based on the mathematical formulation of the problem of coordinating the strategy plan and strategic plan as well as statistical methods for solving complex in terms of their structure optimization problems of a combinatorial type. It is shown that in contrast to hierarchical systems of production and calendar planning characterized by a high level of certainty of procedures for aggregation and disaggregation of plan components of various hierarchical levels, the problem of disaggregating the strategy into more detailed strategic plans should be viewed as a problem of making decisions under conditions of uncertainty. There have been implemented a mathematical formulation of the problem of developing an optimal strategic plan based on the known strategy in an extended statement providing a possibility to correct the strategy parameters and other conditions of the strategic plan implementation to ensure the problem solvability. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of such a formulation, a statistical optimization algorithm, which allows obtaining economically meaningful approximate solutions, was developed and tested on a conditional numerical model.

Firstly, the approach is based on considering the past state in the motivational sphere of the mechanical-engineering enterprise; secondly, the method involves identifying the current state of personnel motivation techniques; thirdly, within the method framework the prospective, which is manifested in strategic vision of the enterprise development as well as in forecasting the development of its business environment, is taken into account. The advantage of the proposed method is that the level of its specification may vary depending on the set goals, resource constraints and necessity. Among other things, this method allows integrating various formalized and non-formalized causal relationships in the sphere of personnel motivation at machine-building enterprises and management of relevant processes. This creates preconditions for a timely response by managers of these entities to changes in the organization business environment. Furthermore, due to its simplicity, the proposed method allows making management decisions in both favorable and unfavorable conditions of operation of mechanical-engineering enterprises, as well as taking into account within a short time probable unforeseen strategic and tactical changes in both the internal and the external environment.

Professional Mobility of the Staff in the Risk Society (p. 202 - 206)
Unanticipated crises in various spheres of society are becoming a main object of attention of the mankind and civilization forming a new model of civilization – the risk society. Although this model is reflected in many works by scientists from different areas, methodological and practical justification of mechanisms for complex study of risks both at the society and enterprise level still remain relevant. The main resource for solving the problem of adaptation to life in the risk society is a person, who has both a high level of creativity and social responsibility. The unpredictability of enterprise risks can be overcome by developing professional mobility of its staff. This quality of a person is formed under the influence of a large number of external and internal factors. Among them the most difficult are the creative motivation of a person’s behavior and his/her internal mental set. In order to develop a methodological basis for formation of the staff professional mobility, it is necessary to formulate the main idea and hypothesis of a new theory, justify a list of disciplines studying certain aspects of the risk society and professional mobility, analyze paradigms of related sciences and choose ideas to form foundations of a new paradigm for creating a multidisciplinary system of concepts, principles and methods of research information support, rules of qualitative and quantitative assessment of its subject.

The Conceptual Framework of Innovation Development in the Enterprise Management System (p. 90 - 101)
The aim of the article is to define the main conceptual framework of innovation development in the enterprise management system on the basis of the systemic approach. The current state of the innovation activity of industrial enterprises and results of introducing innovations in Ukraine have been analyzed, which revealed the absence of an effective system of innovation activity at enterprises. This results from insufficient financial resources, lack of motivation for the enterprise to introduce innovations, unpreparedness of resource provision of innovation process, unformed specific competences for the innovation activity. Besides, the vague state policy on innovation development, lack of efficient mechanisms for its stimulation and provision hinder the practical implementation of the innovation development system at enterprises. The author’s study of modern concepts of innovation development allowed to specify the author’s concept of innovation development in the system of enterprise management. It is proved that management of the enterprise innovation activity is a separate type of management activity and requires an appropriate support. The innovation system including functional, process and executive units is presented as a dynamic model of the enterprise innovation activity. The proposed conceptual approaches give a generalized idea about the place of innovation development in the system of enterprise management. Article is written in Ukrainian

The Uncompromising Nature of a Stable State of the Enterprise: Reality or Utopia? (p. 110 - 116)
There has been foregrounded the problematics of a probability of the enterprise existence in binary states: stable — instable. It is emphasized that most of scientists insist on the uncompromising nature of the stable state. The examples of the functioning of world companies, which give grounds to speak about its discrete nature, are presented. It is shown that the dynamic nature of stability is revealed through the prism of the adaptive and equilibrum approach and evolutionary and progressive one. On the basis of the critical analysis of their content there determined the hopelessness of prospects for using the first approach due to the impossibility of maintaining the equilibrium state of the enterprise during an extended period of time. The key postulates of the synergy theory are transformed to be used in the course of economic reasoning. It is noted that the dialectical unity of the multidirectional processes of destruction and creation determines the simultaneous existence of signs of stability and instability at the enterprise, which generates the weakening of the current and formation of new potential opportunities. Consequently, the excessive “dramatization” of the instable state excludes an adequate response of the management and diverts attention from the key issue — the length of staying in it. It is proved that the achievement of the highest possible synthetic unity of all the parameters of the stable state is mainly of the hypothetical nature and the permanent vital activity of the enterprise is possible only through its qualitative changes, the processes of generation of which periodically change stable periods of the enterprise existence.

The Role of Personnel Competencies in the Enterprise Innovative Activity (p. 136 - 140)
The author’s approach to understanding the impact of personnel competencies on the development of the enterprise innovative activity has been described. It has been justified that the controlling and controlled subsystems of human capital should cross pollinate knowledge thereby increasing the basis for the development of innovative activity. It has been proved that the most important part of the total capital of the enterprise is human capital: it is not only an element of intellectual capital but also a factor in the formation of its two other constituents (relationship capital and structural capital); it is the basis for the formation of the structure and volume of physical capital. A particular attention is paid to the need to identify at hiring employees not only their competencies (acquired during life and is characterizing exclusively professional attributes of the employee) but also such elements of human capital as skills, inclinations, health, intellectual efficiency, etc. — making up a whole psychographic portrait of the person and being extremely important for the development of the enterprise innovative activity.

The Conceptual Framework of “Diversity Management” in the System of Strategic Management of Industrial Enterprise Development (p. 212 - 218)
The problem of strengthening the innovation component in strategic management of industrial enterprises under conditions of globalization has been actualized. The essence and features of innovative development of enterprise structures in the context of their competitiveness have been considered. The attention is focused on the fact that the innovative development should ensure an increase in the enterprise ability to create products having customer value. On the basis of the analysis of the essence and direction of innovative activity of industrial enterprises it has been proved that its results do not create conditions for their innovative development. It has been determined that by the nature of ongoing changes the innovative development is a revolutionary transformation altering its system attractor according to a new phase of the operation. This increases the viability of enterprises in the context of economic activities making them more flexible, able to adapt in the long run. It is emphasized that this increases the level of heterogeneity of enterprises in terms of factors of resources, processes and preferences. The relationship between the heterogeneity of economic resources and choosing by the enterprise management certain types of competitive strategies is shown. It is argued that the choice of a competitive strategy depends on the ability of the enterprise to recombine resources and processes. There made a suggestion about the expediency of changing approaches to the organization of the enterprise innovative activity to improve its efficiency in terms of resource recombination. It is noted that this can be achieved through the implementation of the concept of “diversity management”. The conceptual framework of the implementation of diversity management has been described. It is asserted that its organizational basis is the management decentralization expanding the motivational basis for innovative research participants. Article is written in Ukrainian

Theoretical and Methodological Principles of Developing Translational Capabilities of Controlling in Ensuring Sustainable Development of the Enterprise (p. 219 - 227)
The aim of the article is to study the role of controlling in modern system of social, ecological, economic relations and assess its capabilities in ensuring sustainable development of a business unit. Under these conditions the concept of controlling should focus on the development of translational capabilities, which provides for the extension of accounting and analytical support functions forming the information environment of the data bank and the knowledge base of management of future events. Taking into account the new management philosophy, it is appropriate to consider controlling as a socio-economic cross-functional management technology, which forms the information space supporting operational, tactical and strategic management by using the mechanism of internal management actions of the reflex nature aimed at sustainable development of the enterprise. There proposed a new direction of the controlling concept based on the philosophy of sustainable development of the enterprise and includes the following translational components: basic and auxiliary business processes; centers of responsibility in the system of business architecture, planning and budgeting systems, motivational tools. In view of the basic management functions the following destination controlling elements are identified: the modeling of the organizational structure of the enterprise as a system of hierarchically dependent business units; formation of a system of operational and strategic planning; development of a tool support system (control values), which allows creating a multilevel system to control achievement of strategic goals and detection of deviations. There proposed a mechanism of forming the information environment of controlling, which includes six interrelated informative components – planning, organizing, monitoring, analysis, regulation consulting, which allows to bridge gaps in information communications in the control system in a single contour of controlling. There presented a model of conceptual environment of controlling in the system of sustainable development management, which serves as the theoretical basis for building the organizational structure of the subdivision of controlling at the enterprise and a methodological basis for accounting and analytical support of management functions and the formalization of the controlling procedures. This made it possible to form the priority objectives of controlling: growth of the enterprise market value; formalization of the evaluation and management of risks; creation of conditions for further development of the controlling system in the information society.

Equity Capital in the System of Financial Support of Enterprise Innovative Activity (p. 239 - 244)
The aim of the article is to analyze equity capital in the system of financial support of industrial enterprises’ innovative activity and determine directions of increasing the efficiency of its use. The work considers the essence of financial support of innovative activity. There studied enterprises introducing innovations in the EU and Ukraine, the share of domestic expenditure on R & D in the GDP. It has been determined that the European countries have significant gross domestic expenditure on R & D, which in most countries has positive dynamics of growth. The funding sources of domestic enterprises’ innovative activity have been analyzed. It has been found that the innovative activity of domestic enterprises is funded primarily by means of equity capital, which is caused by the high cost of bank credits, the lack of access to government funding, the low percentage of investors’ funds. The components of equity capital that can provide for financial support of innovative activities have been identified. For the successful implementation of innovative activity by means of equity capital enterprises should use not only such traditional sources as amortization charges and retained profit but also such component of equity capital as the staff. In addition enterprises should increase their equity capital through cooperation, mergers with other enterprises, formation of IFGs. Article is written in Ukrainian

Features of the Formation of Economic Sustainability at Different Stages of the Enterprise’s Functioning (p. 184 - 188)
Given the importance of stakeholders in ensuring economic sustainability, the aim of the article is to determine the priority of their groups at different stages of the enterprise’s functioning (creation, adaptation, growth, development). It is shown that at the stage of creating the company, the priority stakeholders are the shareholders and creditors as providers of financial resources, as well as customers as the source of formation of the market resource. At the growth stage, stakeholders should be ranked based on their ability to meet the company’s needs at the new level and create conditions for expanding the debt financing tools. It is noted that the formed high ranking positions of the enterprise reduce the role of financial stakeholders and actualize the priority of partnership relations that ensure its innovative development. Attention is focused on the fact that corporate conflicts: “agent-principal” and “principal-principal” present the threat of loss of economic sustainability at any stage of the enterprise’s functioning, which requires their compromise resolving. It is stated that the formation of the economic sustainability of enterprises is largely determined by the expansion of partnership relations and balancing the interests of stakeholders. The latter should be based on the priority of the resource contribution (volume, specificity of resources) and the opportunities of the influence of a certain interested party on the company (destructive, constructive ones).

Export Potential of the Enterprise: Essence and Methodological Bases of the Analysis (p. 226 - 231)
The article considers theoretical and methodological aspects of the analysis of the enterprise’s export potential and the methodological basis for its measurement. Analyzing and summarizing scientific works on the problem, the views of researchers on the definition of the concept of “export potential of the enterprise” are systematized. The article considers the economic content of the enterprise’s export potential from the standpoint of the system-structural approach defining it as a complex systemic formation of interrelated and interacting elements of economic and non-economic origin, internal and external action. It is found out that in the international economic space the export potential of the enterprise acquires new qualitative features reflecting not just the resource potential of the national economic entity but also the needs and interests of foreign countries and their economic agents. It is identified that the functional role of the export potential is to implement the targets of the foreign economic activity of the enterprise. The nature of these targets can be different and is formed on the principle of ensuring the needs of external markets. The level of satisfaction of these needs by an individual enterprise can be evaluated through such indicators as the volume of exports, the quality of exported products, the level of export diversification, which determine the result of the export activity and in relation to its purpose serve as a criterion of the efficiency of the enterprise’s export potential. As a result of the study, the components of the export potential of the enterprise are singled out, and a model of their interrelationships is presented. The prospects of the research are connected with branch aspects of the formation of the enterprise’s export potential allowing to highlight its structural elements and directions of development.

The Strategically Oriented Approach to Studying the Economic Sustainability of Enterprises (p. 238 - 243)
The article presents the constructive consideration of modern approaches to the study of the essence of economic sustainability. It is noted that they are focused on sustainability as a status of the economic system. It is actualized that such an approach does not correspond to the system-synergetic methodology, according to which sustainability has a dualistic nature: as a status and as a property of the system to be stable. The key provisions of the traditional approach to understanding the essence of economic sustainability are systematized. Based on the productive synthesis of the system-synergetic methodology and modern achievements of the theory of strategic management, there formed the author’s conceptual approach that extends the traditional content of economic sustainability exclusively as a status. The proposed approach extends the temporal context of sustainability from the provision of a momentary state to the formation of the possibilities for the permanent functioning of an enterprise. It is argued that these opportunities are determined by the organizational ability of companies to realize their functional purpose. This changes the priority of the managerial focus: from orientation to providing material, financial and labor resources (the traditional approach) to the accumulation of resources that can not be the subject of market-based sales transactions (the strategically oriented approach).

The Identification and Modeling of Business Processes of the Quality Management System in an Educational Organization: Theory and Practice (p. 258 - 268)
The aim of the article is to ensure effectiveness of implementation of management objectives of an educational organization by identifying business processes of the quality management system of the educational organization and justifying the choice of language and diagrams of their modeling. The author emphasizes that the approach to identifying business processes of the quality management system of an educational organization should be based not on the types but on the results of the organization’s activity in higher education. It is determined that an effective approach to identifying business processes of the quality management system of an educational organization should be based on the life cycle of the educational service (quality loop), the requirements of the ISO 9001: 2015 standard for building the processes of the quality management system and the standardized list of business processes International Benchmarking Clearinghouse. For further implementation of the quality management system, the author developed a contextual diagram of the system, which is decomposed into processes of level “0” and level “1”. The paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of various modeling languages applicable to business process virtualization, in particular the unified UML modeling language, which uses a number of diagrams to virtualize business processes of complex organizations. The practical recommendations developed for the identification and modeling of business processes in the quality management system will facilitate an effective implementation of such systems in activities of educational organizations, which will further ensure satisfaction of customer requirements and implementation of management objectives.

Scientific Approaches to Determining the Economic Essence of Investment Activity of Ukrainian Enterprises and its Evaluation (p. 184 - 192)
The aim of the article is to systematize theoretical approaches to determining the economic essence of investment activity of enterprises and general evaluation of the current trends in its changing in Ukraine. Based on the analysis of differences in scientific approaches, it is found that investment activity can be considered both as a characteristic of an investment process and as intensity of investing. As a result of the research, there suggested a combination of these approaches that makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of actions aimed at increasing investment attractiveness, reducing investment risks and gives grounds for drawing conclusions about the level of innovative development of enterprises, intellectualization of production, activation of human capital of an enterprise and its social responsibility. The study of the level of investment activity in the economy of Ukraine, which was carried out using estimation of gross fixed capital formation, shows a stable tendency to its decreasing. This situation provides prerequisites for further de-industrialization of the national economy. Prospects for further research are substantiated by the need to develop theoretical provisions for formation of a system of indicators for evaluating the level of investment activity of enterprises and justification of the mechanism for ensuring investment activity that would contribute to increasing the value added at enterprises through activation of human capital, innovative development and efficient use of resources.

The Improvement of the Methodological Approaches to Calculating the Payback Period for Investment in order to Estimate Expenses on Establishing the Economic Security Service of an Enterprise (p. 201 - 206)
The aim of the article is to improve the methodological approaches to calculating the payback period for investment in order to determine the payback period for expenses on establishing the economic security service of an enterprise. It is found that the source of payback of investment at the enterprise level is cash flow product. These revenues (the result) go to formation of a cash flow (expenses) used to finance investment and financial activities. There proposed methods for determining the gross, net, actual, and specified payback periods for advanced investments in the long-term, which use the accumulated product of cash flow or accumulated cash flow as a source of financing. Analytic relationships between the gross, net, current, and specified payback periods for advanced investments that take into account the relationship between the accumulated gross, net, current and specified cash flows are proposed. The considered options for payback of advanced investment at the enterprise level will provide an opportunity to develop methods for determining the payback period for expenses on establishing the economic security service of an enterprise.

The Concepts of Institutionalization of Corporate Activity and its Modern Interpretations (p. 171 - 176)
The aim of the article is to define the essence of the concepts of institutionalization of corporate activity and to highlight the features of its modern interpretation. The structure of the institution of corporate activity at functional levels is generalized. It is established that the global level is undoubtedly the most promising at the moment. The practice of using bilateral agreements between corporations and interested states is proved. It is determined that a serious institutional issue of regulation of corporate relations is the problem of corporate taxation. According to the results of the conducted research, it is established that the process of international institutionalization of corporate activity is in its formative stage. Its formation takes place mainly spontaneously, uncontrollably, under the influence of framework circumstances. The creation of an international institution of corporations as an independent unit within the existing legal framework, and not beyond its borders, is proposed. Based on the analysis of the concepts of institutionalization of corporate activity, it is found that the newest institution of corporate activity does not consider corporations themselves as a subject of norm-setting activity, although in fact, according to their functional characteristics, new corporations have long become normative institutions both nationally and in some cases internationally. It is proposed to revise the list of subjects of the international institutions of corporate activity and the ability of their participation in lawmaking. Article is written in Ukrainian

Interpreting the Content of Processes for Supporting Investment (p. 177 - 183)
The theoretical and applied bases of the formation and development of processes for supporting investment of enterprises are studied. In particular, a terminological analysis of interpreting the categories of “supporting processes” and “processes for supporting investment” is carried out, and conceptual differences in the interpretation of these categories are determined in accordance with the theories of various economic schools and the domestic regulatory framework. The paper stresses the need to develop processes for supporting investment as a way to provide the basis for economic activity and accelerate high rates of public production. It is proved that the supporting processes include various aspects of implementation of investments. The necessity of breaking down the processes for supporting investment into basic and auxiliary ones is substantiated. It is established that the basic processes for supporting investment should include the processes of institutional, organizational, and financial security. The auxiliary process for supporting investment are proposed to be subdivided into the processes of staffing, infrastructural, informational, marketing, technical and technological, and resource support. It is proved that the implementation of investments should be based on compliance with the requirements of normative legal acts (regulatory support) of a particular region where the investment is realized. State measures in the field of investment should unite the social and economic, and regulatory environment of enterprises and be characterized by consistency and logical completeness (institutional support). It is established that in accordance with the following requirements, there should be formed an organizational structure, which will be entrusted the responsibilities of the real implementation of investments (organizational support) that should be properly financed (financial support). The carrying out of such activities implies a certain mechanism utilized through the auxiliary processes for supporting investment. Article is written in Ukrainian

A Methodological Approach to Forming and Developing Strategic Knowledge of an Enterprise (p. 191 - 198)
The article presents a methodological approach to forming and developing strategic knowledge of an enterprise, the main idea of which is defining the concept “strategic knowledge of an enterprise”, as a key factor of development that manifests itself in expediency of management decisions; using best practices, business strategies, new models of market behavior; receiving innovative results in products, services and technologies. In accordance with the provision that professional knowledge and competence of management personnel are in the focus of strategic knowledge management, there singled out declarative, procedural and causal types of strategic knowledge of an enterprise. Declarative knowledge is fixed in normative documents and presented in a formalized form in reports, standards, plans, methods. Procedural knowledge is associated with developing and using tools and methodological support for a management system. Causal knowledge is related to creation of a material basis for effective operation of an enterprise. The identified types of strategic knowledge (declarative, procedural and causal) allowed to form a system of indicators and, through selecting an expert method of assessment, interpreting the results, to develop a set of measures for solving problematic issues regarding the formation and effective use of strategic knowledge in an enterprise. The methodological approach was tested in PJSC “KharP”. As experts, the top and mid-level management of the integrated UIEC company (the industrial group, which includes PJSC “KharP”) were chosen. In total, 15 managers participated in the survey. Summarizing the results of the practical approval of the methodological approach to forming and developing strategic knowledge of an enterprise, it should be noted that the main activities should be aimed at creating an effective training system in accordance with the following requirements: meeting the real needs for developing the competence of management personnel (often training programs are formal and do not contribute to improving knowledge of management personnel); consistency with management standards and compliance with international practices and management standards, best practices and specifics of the activity the enterprise is engaged in; orientation towards integrated use and development of declarative, procedural and causal knowledge.

Social Dominants of Managing the Development of a Trade Enterprise (p. 199 - 205)
The aim of the article is the formation of methodological bases for assessing the state of management of social development of a trade enterprise on the basis of a convergent approach and transformation of values in the context of the digital society and innovations. The level of social management of an enterprise is presented as a function of the potentials of the social, ecological and intellectual vectors, each of them being characterized by a combination of quantitative and qualitative indicators. The social potential of development is expressed through indicators of effective and efficient management activity, employee involvement, and a new complex index of social attractiveness of an enterprise with respect to its stakeholders. It is substantiated that the potential of intellectual development effectively influences all social management processes and contributes to the innovative and social activity of a trade enterprise and its partners. The key indicators for assessing intellectual potential are the pace of development of intangible assets, the coefficient of online activity of the personnel in social networks, the level of competence development and / or the introduction of social innovations (their level of expenditure). There formulated the assessment criteria and the composition of indicators of environmental impact on the potential of an enterprise’s social development, share of eco-labeled goods; the total amount of waste and pollutant emissions; the volume of consumed renewable energy, water, gas; the volume of waste subject to recycling (in particular the information of enterprises about the number of types of waste sorting was used). The integral index of management of social potential can serve as a basis for monitoring the identification of problem areas for management, the formation of a social development strategy, and the ranking of domestic trade enterprises. The realization of the social dominants of the potential of the proposed concept by trade enterprises in practice will contribute to the achievement of the goals of the national strategy for sustainable development. Moreover, it provides for economic growth and the implementation of social guarantees, both for different groups of stakeholders separately and for the society as a whole.

Cognitive Modeling of the Startup Life Cycle (p. 214 - 220)
Under conditions of turbulent development of the world market, which takes place based on modern high-tech industries and introduction of IT technologies into all business processes, the problem of managing risky projects becomes extremely urgent. The innovative development of the global socio-economic system is impossible without the spread and intensification of activities of startups. Startup enterprises, despite the short period of their existence, play an important role in the processes of generating new knowledge, creating innovative projects and commercializing innovative ideas. Startups, as business units, constitute a separate subset of innovative enterprises, grouped according to scaling, using breakthrough innovative ideas, specific sources of financing and increased risk. Since the typical features of a successful startup are the rapid expansion of operations and high risks of financial and economic activity, a conditional time point at which both the risks and rates of growth in transaction volumes are simultaneously reduced can be defined as the fluctuation point at which the startup ceases to exist. The results of applying mathematical methods to process statistical information on the dynamics of the market proved that the fluctuation point of the life cycle of startups in Ukraine takes place in the time interval of the first year of financial and economic activities of the enterprise. During this interval, startup enterprises are oriented towards one of two alternatives: scaling operations on the basis of attracting investments and a significant expansion of activities or gradual curtailment of an innovative project in which investors’ financial resources could not be attracted. Both alternatives lead to the transmission of an enterprise from the class of startups to the class of large enterprises or the liquidation of the business. Startup enterprises in Ukraine have a high potential for innovation development and can become a driving force for the social and economic development of the country as a whole. In order to increase the positive effect of startup initiatives for the Ukrainian economy, it is necessary to solve a number of tasks, among which there are the expansion of information and financial support from the state, the formation of a favorable investment climate and infrastructure for the commercialization of innovative projects.

It is proposed to understand the essence of IC as a means of creating new value in an enterprise through the use of intellectual resources, which in turn contain intellectual capital, intellectual labor and intellectual products as a means of production. The place and importance of IC in developing competencies of domestic trade enterprises are substantiated. There given the author’s interpretation of the essence of IC of a trade enterprise, by which it is proposed to understand the aggregate of accumulated individual and collective, real and hidden knowledge, the level of competence, involvement and motivation of the personnel, the development of information and communication networks, and the results of the implementation of intellectual activity used by the enterprise to ensure its competitive advantages and profitability in the market. The structure of IC of a trade enterprise is studied and schematically constructed; the main features of human capital (at the level of an individual), structural (at the level of the organization) and consumer one (at the level of functional groups) are characterized. There identified the main characteristics of IC of a trade enterprise by features of depreciation of certain components, liquidity, contradictions in the modern practice of assessment and accounting, as well as features of synergistic interaction of its elements. Socio-economic trends in the innovative development of trade enterprises in Ukraine are outlined, among which the popularization of e-commerce, including the use of retail mobile applications by Ukrainian consumers, is decisive. There suggested the directions for developing IC of trade enterprises, the most promising being the increase in the level of competence of employees in the process of their group and individual training. The need for further studies of the mechanism for managing IC of trade enterprises as the basis for developing their competencies is substantiated. Article is written in Ukrainian

Evaluation of Investment Projects in Undeveloped Markets (p. 258 - 267)
Using the example of a diversified industrial enterprise, there developed an approach to evaluating the prospects of the implementation of an innovation and investment project on manufacturing a product under conditions of an undeveloped sales market as well as associated risks. It is substantiated that the project can be promising due to its social significance manifested in obtaining environmental, social, and environmental effect from it realization. To evaluate alternative investment projects, there developed a methodological approach that implies analysis according to the following scheme: volume of the market for the product, designed capacity and production technology, competitive environment; characteristics of consumers. This will allow to demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of each of the alternative projects at the initial stage of the study. The effectiveness and expediency of the project implementation should be evaluated by the following indicators: payback period (PP), accounting rate of return (ARR), net present value (NPV), profitability index (PI), discounted payback period (DPP), internal rate of return (IRR). When making the decision about the implementation of a particular project, its social effect as well as the forecast of future cash flows reflecting changes in their value over time with regard to the discount rate should be taken into account. In developing markets, it is most appropriate to take for the discount rate the weighted average cost of capital, which is calculated in accordance with the CAPM model using the central bank discount rate as risk-free rate, and to calculated the risk premium using the methodology developed by A. Damodaran, based on the data on the country’s credit rating by Moody’s. The identification of the main risks of the project is possible by conducting an expert survey providing for the evaluation of importance and probability of occurrence of individual risk. The subjectivity of an expert survey has to be reduced by identifying the main mental traps. A more in-depth study of an impact of each risk has to be conducted by using the VaR concept and analysing the sensitivity of impact of simultaneous two risks to the net present value of the project.

Non-Monetary Motivation of Staff as a Way to Increase Efficiency of its Work (p. 268 - 275)
The article is dedicated to investigating non-monetary motivation of staff as well as analyzing non-material factors that influence growth of staff productivity. Scientific publications highlighting the issue of staff motivation and its influence on efficiency of employees’ work are analyzed. The existing theories of motivation are considered in the context of their using to provide non-monetary incentives for staff members. There analyzed the ways of applying popular motivation theories in the context of non-monetary incentives. Based on the results of own sociological research, the list of recommendations on introducing a system of non- monetary motivation of employees is developed. The study of the staff portal and the survey itself showed that non-monetary incentives have a significant impact on staff productivity, allow attracting special categories of employees, and improve the prestige of a company. The importance of introducing a system of non-monetary motivation, its impact on the image of a company in the eyes of employees, and the advantages of applying this type of motivation in the system of monetary incentives are determined. Using the information analyzed, a list of practical suggestions on the application of non-material incentives for staff members is created. The developed recommendations include those that require funding on the part of the administration of a company, namely: staff training, introducing a bonus system, organizing a place for recreation; as well as those that are absolutely free: recognizing merits of employees, creating a favorable psychological climate and conditions for career growth. The research results allowed to determine that an effective system of non-monetary motivation well supplements monetary incentives, improves the image of a company, increases employee loyalty, and ensures growth of staff productivity. The issue of non-monetary incentives requires further research, since motivation of employees will always be a relevant issue for enterprises seeking to become leaders and effectively use such a resource as staff.

Economic Confidence as a Factor in Personnel Certification (p. 69 - 74)
In the article there developed a model of personnel certification of an enterprise, which takes into account two factors: loyalty of employees to the organization (based on other studies, the factors determining loyalty are used) and level of economic confidence of managers of the organization in its employees. The interpretation of the category “career growth rate of an employee” is proposed, and favorable and unfavorable conditions for career progression of an employee are substantiated. It is recommended that in the model of personnel certification of an enterprise, the threshold of economic trust be taken into account, i.e., the level of economic trust, which differentiates economic trust in an employee and economic distrust to him/her. There identified the ranges of economic trust, in which, in combination with clusters of employee loyalty to the organization, an accelerated, average, slowed career growth rate or lack thereof is possible when setting new important or complex tasks. The study substantiates the procedure for determining the belonging of an employee in the organization to a cluster of employee loyalty (an employee’s belonging to the core or periphery of the organization is additionally differentiated) and the level of economic trust of managers to an employee, as well as the number of clusters. The procedure for certifying employees depending on whether his/her belongs to a cluster and on talents to solve more complex or important tasks of the organization is argued. It is revealed that an employee’s belonging to a cluster is a time-varying value (through a time-varying personality structure, which changes priorities and motivation of the employee, or changes in the organization’s internal environment in a direction that does not coincide with the employee’s expectations), therefore employees should be checked with a certain frequency for their loyalty to the organization, and the level of economic trust should be recalculated based on the results of their work and achievements.

Improving the Classification of Organizational Changes of an Enterprise (p. 82 - 88)
A generalization of existing approaches to the classification of organizational changes is performed. The identification of revolutionary and evolutionary changes is highlighted. The types of organizational changes are investigated depending on the level of organization where they occur. The essence of spontaneous and planned changes is considered. The classification of changes based on one criterion — single-criterion classification, on two criteria and a set of criteria — multi-criterion classification — is presented. There introduced the author’s classification of organizational changes comprising a single criteria classification, which includes three subgroups, and a multi-criteria classification. The first group, which is singled out based on a single-criterion classification in terms of the character of its implementation, is distributed with regard to the following criteria: object: in goods and services, strategy and structure, culture, technology, personnel, management, systems, performance, prestige, policy, and legal transactions, functions, forms; duration of changes: short-term, medium-term, long-term; systematicity: organic; systematic, episodic; nature of manifestation of processes: scaling down, scaling up; scale: general, local; management style: decision-making, participatory; levels: individual, group, subdivision, corporate; resources: extensive; intense. By the nature of occurrence, the changes are divided based on the following criteria: reaction to the environment: forced and provoked; interaction with the environment: reactive and proactive; goal setting: aimed at effective functioning, development, and anti-crisis. According to the results, the changes, based on the acquired state, are divided into transformational (divergent) and adaptive (convergent) and on the quality — into progressive and regressive. The multi-criteria classification comprises six groups of changes, including the author’s division into active and passive ones, where the latter involve changes in the state of an enterprise in the market under the influence of external factors in the event of a failure to decide on the implementation of active changes.

The Systems and Structural Approach to the Formation of Economic Resilience of an Enterprise (p. 89 - 96)
The aim of the article is to summarize the methodological foundations of the systems and structural approach to the formation of enterprise resilience. To achieve this goal, the following tasks are set and resolved: using the systems and structural approach, the elements of the economic system of an enterprise are standardized, the content of each structural element is disclosed, indicators of control for potential hazards and consequences in case of its occurrence are determined, criteria of resilience of functioning and development of the economic system are formed. There summarized key provisions of the methodology of the systems and structural approach in terms of identifying the basic structural components of the economic system of an enterprise (resources, processes, structure, environment) and studying the system of indicators of control over the state of their use in enterprise economic activity. The singled out indicators of control over resilience of elements constituting the proposed enterprise structure allow identifying resilience criteria for each type of enterprise processes for basic structural components that ensure its effective functioning. Hazards and their consequences for each structural component of an enterprise are generalized. The combination of the structure of an enterprise’s economic system and its main functional processes made it possible to generalize the criteria of resilience of its functioning and development. The presented systems and structural approach allow managing resilience of each subsystem of an enterprise by shaping the resilience of each structural component of the subsystem, and the proposed system of indicators for monitoring the state of resilience allows the formation of a concept of resilience management.

A Conceptual Model of Business Process Management in a Wholesale Enterprise (p. 97 - 103)
The aim of the article is to study the theoretical and methodological approaches to business process management in a wholesale enterprise and develop a conceptual approach to business process management in the system of management decision making. Based on the results of the research, the imperfection of the elaboration of the methodological and organizational bases for implementing the process approach in managing business processes in wholesale enterprises has been revealed. It is noted that the attention of scientists to the implementation of process-oriented approach is increasing, though in practice it has not found its application in domestic enterprises. However, in modern realities, the application of this approach is limited only to the development of documents that describe the order of performance of various works, and activities of enterprises are aimed at applying the process approach or the functional one. To make effective management decisions in the business process management system in a wholesale enterprise, there developed a conceptual model, which is an abstract one and includes a structure of relations between business processes. Prospects for further research in this direction are to determine the parameters of the assessment of “bottlenecks” in business processes of a wholesale enterprise that affect the results of its activities in the system of management decision making.

Enterprise Development in the Context of Multi-Object Economic Resilience and a Ternary Approach (p. 122 - 131)
The aim of the article is to study the content of the concept “enterprise development” in the context of multi-object economic resilience, with regard to the ternary approach to its essence. As a result of the analysis of the economic literature, it is revealed that scientists propose to distinguish between such concepts as “development” and “growth”. However, attention is focused on the fact that in a specific time interval, development can be represented as growth, improvement, and other types of changes. It is shown that development and growth are interrelated concepts, thus they should not be opposed. By analyzing, systematizing and summarizing scientific works of a number of scientists, definitions of the term “development” based on imperative concepts “process” and “change” are considered. It is revealed that the objects of development are processes of growth of an enterprise’s size and its indicators; improvement of its system; transition to a new state; transformation of the enterprise; changes in the characteristics of the enterprise’s system, its activity, state, its movement trajectories, as well as changes of the enterprise itself. It is substantiated that, considering the changes, it is necessary to distinguish two dimensions: changes as a manifestation of changes in the internal environment and / or the external environment of an enterprise due to the influence of various factors and / or stakeholders; changes as the response of the enterprise to the above changes. However, such changes may be unplanned and / or represent the result of the action of specially developed events. The existing approaches to defining the essence of the concept “development” are complemented by the integral, structural, as well as structural and synergetic approach. It is noted that the typologization of approaches to the essence of the category “development” will depend, first of all, on the research goal. In studying the basic laws of development, attention is focused on its common features with the category of economic resilience. It is noted that development can be its object, and vice versa — economic resilience can become an object of enterprise development. Article is written in Ukrainian

Current Threats to Personnel Security of Modern Enterprises (p. 144 - 150)
The aim of the article is to study personnel security as a subsystem of economic security of enterprises, its role in ensuring organizational and management activities of an enterprise in view of the current situation, structural specifics, and personnel fraud, as its significant subjective threat. The article defines the dominance of the personnel security subsystem in relation to other subsystems of an enterprise’s economic security as a fundamental principle in any of its activities. The structural components of personnel security of an enterprise, which are the cause of the existence of a large number of threats, are identified. Objective and subjective threats to its provision are highlighted. The topicality of corporate fraud as a significant subjective global threat to personnel security of an enterprise is substantiated. Two main approaches to defining the concept of corporate fraud are highlighted: the legal (Ukrainian) approach and the broad (world) one. The main trends of the most common types of economic crimes and their impact on Ukrainian organizations are analyzed. The key factors and their influence on committing an economic crime and / or fraud by an employee (fraudster) in Ukraine in 2018 are identified. There proved the necessity of influencing each of the factors that cause economic crimes by encouraging a culture of openness at all levels of the organization, introducing effective control mechanisms and developing a positive corporate culture.

The Concept of Assessing Enterprise Potential (p. 151 - 156)
The aim of this article is to develop scientific and methodological recommendations on the integral assessment of potential of an enterprise. The achievement of this goal requires solving the following tasks: analysis of the theoretical bases of enterprise potential; analysis of the components of enterprise potential; analysis of methods for assessment of enterprise potential; development of a multi-criteria model for an integral assessment of enterprise potential based on the program- and goal-oriented approach and the theory of utility. In the work the concept of Management by Objectives is used. Enterprise potential management is represented as a multi-level system consisting of several management objects. To study enterprise potential, the program- and goal- oriented approach is used. Based on graph theory, the “tree of goals” of enterprise potential is built. For the formulation and evaluation of goals, expert methods are used. As a criterion of optimality of achieving a goal, it is proposed to use a multi-criteria utility function. In this study, the system of goal-setting corresponds to the combination principle, i.e., it is advisable to use the additive utility function to assess potential of an enterprise. The proposed approach using the multi-criteria utility function makes it possible to calculate the integral indicator of enterprise potential. This allows a comparison of the potential of an enterprise for several years and a comparison of a number of enterprises, as well as identifying the ways for effective growth and use of the potential of an enterprise.

Ensuring Structural and Communication Stability of a Large-Scale Economic and Production System as a Prerequisite for Improving its Viability (p. 157 - 164)
Under modern conditions of turbulent external environment, one of the reserves for increasing the efficiency of an enterprise’s economic activity is its involvement in joint activities with other enterprises, which together form a large-scale economic and production system. The author’s hypothesis in this case is to consider efficiency as a function of the ability of participants in a large-scale system to establish appropriate communications. Accordingly, the shortcomings of communication of participants in a large-scale system are determined by the main factor of stability loss of the economic-production system. The aim of the article is to develop the theoretical and methodological bases for ensuring an increase in viability of large-scale economic-production systems through optimizing the links between its participants by the criterion of compliance with structural and communication stability. In the framework of achieving the aim of the article, the relevance of introducing the concept “structural and communication stability” of an enterprise is proved, and its essence is substantiated. To identify the factors of stability loss, there used recommendations from the body of knowledge on system engineering regarding the construction of a hierarchy (holarchy) of a complex system, for each level of which the factor of stability loss is determined. A reference model for establishing communication between participants of a large-scale system is developed, and the possibility of detailing such a model by means of multi-agent modeling is provided for detailing the parameters of interaction between participants of a large-scale economic production system. The application of this model is the basis for ensuring the stability of the economic system by forcing internal and external stakeholders to fulfill their functions. Article is written in Ukrainian

The aim of the article is to study the essence of the definition “disruptive innovations” and the nature of disruptive processes, which, according to the President of the World Economic Forum in Davos, K. Schwab, are the drivers of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and lead to fundamental changes in market values. The necessity of improving the categorical apparatus of the theory of disruptive innovations due to the emergence of disagreements between theoretical and applied aspects of its manifestation in the environment of world disruptive transformations is grounded. In particular, there carried out a comparative analysis of qualitative characteristics of supporting and disruptive innovations highlighting aspects that lead to the need to complement the essence of the latter. Taking into account these studies, the substantive content of the definition “disruptive innovations” is specified. There considered problems of using the theoretical base of disruptive processes in the domestic scientific literature, in particular, the emergence in the framework of the theory of disruptive innovations of a number of definitions that are identical in essence but different in name. The use of the term “disruptive innovations” as a form of selection in the field of innovations is argued. The organizational aspects of the introduction of disruptive innovations are investigated, and the need to prevent a shift of emphasis towards supporting innovations is substantiated. The critical prerequisites for and key principles of “disruptiveness” of innovations, the consideration of which significantly increases the ability of enterprises to realize their innovative potential, are identified. Further research will be aimed at developing measures to level the negative impact of disruptive processes on activities of business entities in the Ukrainian economy. Article is written in Ukrainian

Theoretical and Methodological Aspects of Assessing Consumer Loyalty as an Objective Condition for Development of Entrepreneurship (p. 102 - 108)
The aim of the article is to justify the theoretical and methodological approaches to assessing consumer loyalty based on an integrated assessment of determinants of influence on the level of satisfaction of consumers and their willingness to recommend products or services of a particular company. There analyzed existing approaches to assessing consumer loyalty that imply distinguishing among behavioral, affective, and complex loyalty, which correspond to the ideas about the value orientation of human development. It is established that loyalty is based on the positive experience of consumers after they purchase products or use the services of enterprises, including small and medium-sized ones. There systematized consumer loyalty indicators, which can be attributed to loyalty behavior, perceived loyalty, as well as comprehensive loyalty indicators. It is proposed to use Net Promoter Score (NPS) as an integral indicator of complex loyalty, which allows studying consumers’ attitude to a company, product, service. The advantage of the proposed approach is its versatility, since this indicator allows for obtaining a comprehensive assessment of a company’s activities on the market and the quality of its consumer service. A promising direction for further research in this area is the formation of an integrated mechanism for managing loyalty of an enterprise’s consumers using modern marketing concepts. Further development of relationship marketing will allow forming a totality of consumers loyal to the company’s products and brand, which will positively affect its growth prospects and achievement of its strategic goals.

Problems of and Prospects for the Development of the Metallurgical Industry in Ukraine (p. 39 - 44)
The current state of and trends in the development of metallurgical enterprises of Ukraine and the world are investigated. There identified the reasons for the slowdown in the development of domestic metallurgical enterprises: outdated technologies, lack of effective regional programs to support the development of the industry, small range of products, need to comply with the international quality standards, increased competition in the market, depreciation of fixed assets, low investment attractiveness of the industry. In 2018, the share of exports to the EU countries in the total Ukrainian metallurgical exports amounted to 34 %, to Turkey – 13 %. The activities of enterprises of the metallurgical industry are analyzed, and promising areas in the development of the industry in the modern Ukrainian economy are justified. The constraints in the development of the metallurgy industry are determined, and recommendations for their elimination are given. To solve these problems, it is necessary to develop a set of measures to improve the state of the domestic metallurgical industry. Ukraine should adopt the experience of the world leader – China and establish a full production cycle in the country, improve the scientific, technical and engineering base, expand the cooperation with the chemical industry to improve the properties of steel, cast iron, etc. One of the first steps should be the creation of a state regulatory body which will regulate the activities of metallurgical enterprises; ensure the introduction of new energy-saving and environmental technologies; organize cooperation with investors aimed at purchasing new equipment, which will facilitate the production of high-quality competitive products by domestic enterprises and will strengthen market positions but not only serve as a raw materials appendage for other countries.

Trends in the Development of the Adaptive Management System for Construction Enterprises (p. 102 - 107)
The development trends of the adaptive management system for construction enterprises are determined. It is noted that the construction industry creates a huge number of jobs, consuming the products of many other sectors of the national economy. It is mentioned that the development of construction enterprises requires constant monitoring of the position of an enterprise and its competitors in the construction market, research on the strengths and weaknesses of its own financial and economic activities, and the ability to adapt to changes in both the internal and external environment. The goal, object and subject of adaptive management are determined. The most promising approaches aimed at introducing adaptive changes in a construction enterprise are highlighted. It is found that today monitoring is one of the main elements that form the system of not only operational but also strategic management. It is a functional area of the economic activity of a construction enterprise and is closely linked with the implementation of management functions necessary for making operational and strategic management decisions. Considering the above objective reasons for the formation of adaptive management in enterprises in the construction industry, an algorithm for transforming the system (a construction enterprise) under adaptive management is built. It is concluded that it is advisable that enterprises in the construction industry of Ukraine (and the economy of Ukraine as a whole) apply adaptive management, which can be defined as the process of implementing an integrated system of measures and actions to ensure the interconnection and achievement of goals of all participants in the management process in an unstable external environment.

Grading as an Innovative Approach to Labor Remuneration: Science-Based Practical Scenario for High-Tech Enterprises (p. 91 - 99)
The aim of the article is to develop a science-based practical scenario and argue the content of the main components of grading as a managerial innovation in designing basic wages in high-tech enterprises. The need to improve managerial approaches to forming an effective wage system as a determinant of attracting, securing and using human resources of high-tech enterprises is substantiated. The requirements to the development of remuneration systems in a competitive environment are formulated. The argument for the widespread dissemination of the traditional tariff model of remuneration, which has undergone a deep crisis in the market economy, is given. The need to modernize standard wage systems is noted. The quintessence of the article is the implementation of the theoretical and applied aspects of grading as an innovative approach to remuneration in the management practice of high-tech enterprises with consideration for peculiarities of their human resources and labor processes. It is emphasized that the competencies of the personnel of high-tech enterprises form the prerequisites for ensuring their competitive development. Attention is focused on the fact that labor remuneration, as a component of the complex motivational mechanism of high-tech enterprises, combines management tools that stimulate the manufacturing of high-tech products and high-tech services. A set of factors characterizing the significance of positions in high-tech enterprises is formed, which ensures their correlation with the size of wages. Alternative point factor matrices for assessing the significance of works / positions for high-tech enterprises with the same and different number of levels are proposed. A matrix describing the factors for assessing the significance of works / positions is developed. In the context of the effectiveness of wage systems, the feasibility of combining grading and performance management using key performance indicators is noted. The possibility for providing the differentiation and strengthening of individualization of wages is substantiated. Article is written in Ukrainian

Research on the State of the Labor Market in Ukraine as the Basis for the Formation of the Enterprise Image-Building Strategy in the Framework of Industry 4.0 (p. 100 - 108)
Today, the priority direction in enterprise management under the conditions of Industry 4.0 is the formation of a positive image of an employer. Positioning and creating the image of an enterprise in the labor market should be carried out gradually and purposefully, in view of the behavior of key indicators of the labor market and forecast changes in them. This in turn will provide an enterprise with competitive advantages in the labor market and allow attracting human resources with optimal quantitative and qualitative parameters. The aim of the article is to analyze key indicators of the Ukrainian labor market and trends in its development for a further formation of the image-building strategy of enterprises under the conditions of Industry 4.0. The key indicators characterizing the state of the labor market, namely, unemployment rate, changes in the number of economically active population of Ukraine, forecast of the number of economically active population, are studied. It is found that when forming the image-building strategy of enterprises in the labor market, it is necessary to take into account not only the trend analysis of the number of economically active population but also the unemployment rate since it is one of the most important indicators of the realization of labor potential. Overcoming problems associated with the spread of unemployment requires an urgent reforming of the labor sector in the Industry 4.0 concept and implementation of necessary steps to achieve strategic goals, maximize the realization of labor potential by creating favorable conditions for work and intensify measures aimed at creating the image of enterprises on the labor market.

Scientific Foundations Evolution of International Business (p. 109 - 115)
Since the 1990s, a gradual increase in scientific interest in international business has been observed in Ukraine, but the number of relevant research works is still relatively low. At the same time, in the rest of the world, the science of international business has made a remarkable path of development since the moment of its emergence in the 1950s. In this context, Ukrainian scientists have the special task of analyzing international achievements in this discipline and, based on this, bringing the focus of their research in compliance with the worldwide requirements at the modern stage of the scientific foundations evolution of international business. Despite a significant amount of international research papers that deal with studying the scientific foundations evolution of international business, there is no single well-established approach to classifying the stages of this process today. This predetermined the aim of the study, namely, to clarify and summarize the key characteristics of the basic stages in the scientific foundations evolution of international business from the moment of emergence of this scientific discipline to the present. The analysis carried out from the perspective of an instrumentalist approach has led to the conclusion that the scientific foundations evolution of international business is inseparable from the international life cycle of this discipline and currently comprises the following four stages: institutionalization; rapid growth; maturity; renaissance. In the article, the time frames of each stage are identified and justified, each of them being comprehensively characterized. Article is written in Ukrainian

Introduction of Strategic Change Management in an Enterprise in the Context of Identifying the Impact of External and Internal Change Drivers (p. 140 - 146)
The aim of the study is to substantiate the areas of introducing strategic change management in an enterprise under conditions of the active impact of the business environment. It is indicated that management of strategic changes in an enterprise is the targeted impact of the management system on the enterprise as a platform of strategic changes in order to transfer it from one state to another (desirable) in accordance with the strategic goals defined by its stakeholders and the conditions set by the environment. It is determined that the introduction of strategic change management in enterprises has a number of features determined, first, by the specifics of this process as an integrated component of strategic management; secondly, the operation of the enterprise as a socio-economic system, within the framework of which the functional of strategic changes is connected with the activity of the human factor and the functioning of the team and participants in the changes. The introduction of strategic change management in enterprises is based on the triangle of strategic changes developed by A. Pettigrew, which includes the context, content and process of strategic change management. To choose the areas of strategic changes in an enterprise, the author suggests four directions of management actions based on the prevalence of the type of change drivers and the strategic situation. Within each of the directions there defined: intensity of strategic changes, duration of the implementation lag, recording the state of resources, level of resistance of the corporate culture to the changes and its state with regard to them. It is indicated that a prerequisite for ensuring an effective implementation of strategic changes is the formation of a fiduciary corporate culture with regard to the changes in the enterprise and the minimization of the risks of introducing and implementing the strategic change management system in the enterprise. The study identifies the following types of risks of strategic changes: personnel, process and technological, resource, market and organizational one. Article is written in Ukrainian

Assessment of Enterprise Innovative Potential as an Objective Basis for the Implementation of Structural Transformations: Methodological Aspect (p. 135 - 141)
It is determined that assessing structural transformations of innovative potential of industrial energy providers implies identifying available resources and creating a system of units, services, and management bodies with the aim to ensure the enterprises’ performing a new set of tactical and strategic functions. The frequency of organizational and economic changes for a structural transformation of innovative potential is determined with regard to the operational environment of enterprises and the specific market situation. The main adaptive criteria for assessing structural transformations of innovative potential of industrial energy providers are growth in labor productivity, acceleration in technical development, cooperation in adopting and implementing managerial decisions. In the crisis period, changes in structures of enterprises are aimed at their survival due to a more rational use of innovative resources, cost reduction and adaptation to the requirements of the external environment. That is why, today, the key task is not how to organize the implementation of individual tactical and strategic functions but how to form a stable dominant structure suitable for managing an enterprise under changing market conditions. In practice, the task set is most often carried out in part, in the form of assessment and analysis tasks aimed at regulating flow indicators. There also appear conceptual managerial decisions to address problems of optimizing the enterprises’ structures. They involve the urgent task of creating models for reforming the organizational structures of enterprises using labor, financial, material and information flows that affect increase in the level of innovative potential.

Development Safety Culture - Communication Culture as the Basis of Management Process Intellectualization (p. 142 - 148)
The aim of the article is the theoretical justification of the relationship of safety development culture – communication culture as the basis for intellectualization of the management process. It is determined that the main source of any culture including the culture of enterprise management is human activity, which acquires meaning in close relations with society, its habits, foundations, traditions. Moreover, social behavior of a human is not in his/her nature, but is formed by individual society, depending on many spatial and temporal features including those of enterprise activity. The basic elements of culture comprise material and spiritual values that characterize the organization of activities and management of an enterprise including the interaction of its members. It is determined and proved that the communication culture at each particular enterprise is the basis for forming the culture of management of its development safety, built on fundamental principles, namely: spirituality, education and upbringing, with the safety culture and development culture being the constituent elements of the culture of development safety management. Based on this, the term “culture of enterprise development safety” is defined as a set of relevant characteristics, rules, norms, and characteristics of enterprise activity, taking into account the psychological behavior and professional skills of individuals responsible for making managerial decisions, in accordance with their priority and significance. Based on the results of the study, there proposed communication dimensions to rely upon in the management process, namely: adaptation; coordinated management of value or rules; rhetoric; constructivism; social categories and circumstances; or conflict. The choice of the dimension of the communication culture and orientation towards it will provide an opportunity to determine qualitative aspects of the selected culture of management of enterprise development safety and increase the level of intellectualization in managerial decision-making.

Identification of the Degree of Economic Resilience of Ukrainian Air Carriers (p. 132 - 137)
The aim of the study is to justify the appropriateness of using the Harrington’s desirability function as a tool for integral assessment of enterprise economic resilience using the example of domestic air carriers. The article investigates activities of nine air companies in the Ukrainian market: CJSC AC International Airline of Ukraine, JSC Motor Sich, Windrose Aviation Company, YanAir, LLC Meridian Air Company, LLC SkyUp Airlines, LLC Azur Air Ukraine Airlines, Bukovyna Airlines, Bravo Airways. Based on the results of assessing the degree of economic resilience, it is concluded that enterprises engaged in providing freight transportation services, air companies whose main activity is passenger air transportation stayed in the safe profit zone throughout the study period. All other participants in the aviation market suffered losses, respectively, were in the risk zone, given a critical lack of financial resources not only for the expanded provision of services but also for covering the current needs of operating activities, which naturally leads to an increase in short-term indebtedness, and, as a result, to a growth in an air company’s financial expenses for repaying them. Using the Harrington’s scale to identify the degree of economic resilience of the air carriers revealed that the main resource risk for most air companies is a critical lack of highly liquid assets and short-term financial investments, an insufficient net cash flow. Most Ukrainian air carriers operate at risk and critical risk. Article is written in Ukrainian

The Personnel Component of Economic Resilience of a Retail Enterprise (p. 138 - 143)
The aim of the article is to study and clarify the theoretical basis of personnel security in a retail enterprise. Using a comparative analysis of the existing definitions, the essence of the concept “enterprise personnel security” is determined. The lack of a common understanding of the essence of enterprise personnel security among scientists, since it is considered as a multifaceted concept, is revealed. The definitions of the essence of personnel security are broken down into the following groups: understanding of enterprise personnel security as an increase in the efficiency of using personnel potential; as a component of economic resilience in terms of protection; in terms of personnel management. Given features of retail enterprises, the concept of enterprise personnel security is clarified and supplemented. It is considered as a degree of protection of an enterprise’s interests in enhancing operational efficiency, adapting to changes, and increasing stability of its functioning. From the position of a systems approach, the external and internal threats to personnel security in a retail enterprise are investigated. The tasks aimed at ensuring personnel security in an enterprise in the context of the overall economic resilience of the enterprise are determined. The functions of personnel management in the context of ensuring economic resilience of an enterprise are investigated. Furthermore, there identified the basic ones including determination of personnel requirements and provision of retail enterprises with personnel; personnel development and use; performance and behavior motivation; information and legal personnel management.

The Theoretical and Methodological Backgrounds for and the Development of a Conceptual Model for Managing Stakeholder Interaction (p. 144 - 151)
The aim of the article is the justification of the theoretical and methodological backgrounds for and the development of a conceptual model for managing stakeholder interaction. It is determined that, in Ukraine, the use of a modern conceptual model for managing stakeholder interaction requires unifying approaches to the implementation of the stakeholder theory into national management practice. It is found out that more than 60 % of scientists use the term “stakeholder” without reference to a specific version of the stakeholder theory. The study presents the main groups of stakeholders, which comprise, first of all, clients, employees, local communities, suppliers and distributors, shareholders. Related stakeholders include media; the general public; business partners; future generations; past generations (founders of organizations); scientists; competitors; non-governmental organizations or volunteers; stakeholder representatives, e. g., trade unions or trade unions of suppliers or distributors; funders, except for shareholders (owners of deposits, bonds, creditors); competitors; the government, politicians. Based on the mapping of information and analytical, and methodological support, a conceptual model for managing stakeholder interactions is developed. The model covers the accounting of models of interaction between stakeholders and information resources, the role of the community, the nature of relationships with stakeholders, the methodology for system definition of stakeholder groups, the system of international metadata, and the AccountAbility principles. Using the conceptual model for managing stakeholder interaction is a reliable basis for obtaining competitive advantages for those organizations that, together with stakeholders, are able to effectively create added value, improve the overall efficiency of enterprises and contribute to sustainable development of territorial communities.

Methodological Basis for Studying Social Media as a Tool to Tackle Consequences of COVID-19 in the Restaurant Industry (p. 152 - 158)
The article highlights the tight situation in the restaurant industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the study is analyzing the mechanism for tackling consequences of COVID-19 through social media and the social marketing sector. To achieve this goal, the article considers in detail the basic definitions, directions and features of the use of such modern mechanism (tool) to increase effectiveness of advertising and promote goods and services as social media. Currently, social media marketing dominates traditional marketing. Traditional marketing is much more expensive than social media marketing, which is why today most enterprises have chosen marketing in social media to intensify their business. The article analyzes the results of a European study on the use of social media in the restaurant industry. Based on the results of the study, the main stages of the customer relationship management are identified, and three general steps are formed: Step One — getting to know your customer; Step Two — customer retention; Step Three — interaction with clients. The implementation of all three stages should improve quality of servicing customers of the restaurant sector. This paper analyzes the consequences of COVID-19 for the restaurant industry and suggests the main ways to overcome them. The necessity and expediency of using social media marketing in the restaurant industry is proved. Conclusions about the feasibility of introducing special measures to normalize the financial situation, overcome the crisis and provide return on production costs are made. Among these measures, the use of social media marketing, improvement of effectiveness of advertising on the Internet and establishment of communication with customers are singled out.

Theoretical and Methodological Basis of Management of Enterprise Development Security (p. 159 - 165)
The aim of the article is to justify the theoretical and methodological basis of management of enterprise development security. The article determines that, under modern conditions, the complexity of the functioning of all levels of the national economy, including industrial enterprises, requires revolutionary changes in their management system if an enterprise is considered as a complex multi-structural system. The crisis signs observed over the past ten years can have both negative and positive impact on the transformation in activities of individual enterprises, lead to both development and degradation of an enterprise. Therefore, the theoretical and methodological basis of management of enterprise development security is proposed. The fundamental components of the theoretical and methodological basis of management of enterprise development security include: management goal, objectives, management principles, approaches, management methods and tools, which, in turn, is the basis for the formation of a convergent integrated mechanism for managing development security with a synergistic effect. In particular, the choice of a mechanism for managing enterprise development security is based on appropriate approaches. Along with the existing general scientific theoretical approaches to forming an effective enterprise management system, there proposed approaches to creating a system for managing enterprise development security, namely: aspectual, situational, systems, process, synergistic and systems-synergistic ones. The convergent integrated mechanism with a synergistic effect is based on the process of convergence of all methodological bases of security and development of an enterprise with obtaining a synergetic effect on its individual components.

Methodological Aspects of Intensifying Management of Enterprise Economic Behavior in the Context of Neo-Industrial Modernization (p. 166 - 172)
The aim of the article is to form methodological aspects of intensifying economic behavior management in the context of neo-industrial modernization. The work notes that the sequence and success of market transformations is largely determined by economic behavior of enterprises, their adaptation to new requirements of modern reality. One of the main reasons for the inability of Ukrainian industrial enterprises to overcome the crisis is their unpreparedness to modernize production and increase the output of competitive products. The elimination of these causes requires that enterprises have a certain strategy and tactics of economic behavior. The intensification of management of enterprise economic behavior in the context of neo-industrial modernization as a phenomenon is the subject of study of both economic science and sociology. It is determined that the problem of intensifying management of enterprise economic behavior in the context of neo-industrial modernization can be methodologically overcome. This is possible in the case of bringing up the issue of its absolutist and relativistic assessment, stating that rationality as a fundamental characteristic of economic behavior is a civilized value, has both methodological and axiological orientation. The article highlights the main directions of research on the intensification of management of enterprise economic behavior in the context of neo-industrial modernization, and proposes a methodology for intensifying economic behavior management in the context of neo-industrial modernization.

Social Responsibility as a Tool for Managing Sustainable Development of an Industrial Enterprise (p. 173 - 189)
The aim of the article is generalizing and clarifying the theoretical basis of social responsibility of industrial enterprises, taking into account the modern concept of sustainable development in Ukraine; developing scientific (two-level assessment procedure) and methodological (calculation of the integral index) approaches to assessing corporate social responsibility. A distinctive feature of these approaches is the consistency of indicators of the influence of environmental factors and components of sustainable development of the enterprise. The article analyzes the essence of the notion of social responsibility, its concepts, principles, motives, advantages of and obstacles to its implementation; the notion “corporate social responsibility (CSR)” is highlighted in the framework of sustainable development. A model for the formation of theoretical and methodological approaches is proposed. The difference of the model from previously developed ones is that social responsibility is assessed by management levels (macro, meso and micro level), relationships with stakeholders, enterprise life cycle, etc. A scientific approach and a procedure for assessing corporate social responsibility in the framework of sustainable development are developed. The procedure consists of two levels. The methodological approach to assessing corporate social responsibility in the framework of sustainable development is improved. It comprises indicators for assessing the impact of external stakeholders on the economic component (first level of assessment) and that of the economic component on the environmental, energy and social components (second level). The indicators characterizing activities of an enterprise to improve the living conditions of residents of the region where it functions are identified. The methodological approach is based on the use of the method of index numbers. The presented developments allow building a socially responsible enterprise, whose activities will be aligned with the sustainable development strategy, coordinated with business partners (stakeholders), and will facilitate carrying out measures to ensure social security and energy supplies for workers and residents of the region and reduce emissions of harmful substances.

The Methodological Basis of Management of Enterprise Economic Resilience (p. 190 - 196)
The article necessitates studying methodology as a system of principles and tools for organizing activities for further research on the process of managing the economic resilience of an enterprise. The aim of the article is the formation of a methodological basis for managing economic resiliency of an enterprise based on a combination of a set of concepts and theories, principles, scientific approaches and methods for systematizing elements of the methodology of economic resilience at the level of enterprise as an object of promising scientific research. It is established that for Ukrainian enterprises the problem of ensuring sustainability of their socio-economic systems resulting from a significant environmental uncertainty is extremely urgent. In view of this, the main goal of managing economic resilience of an enterprise is its sustainable functioning, the key criterion of which is ensuring the target level of economic resilience in a certain time period. It is proved that the basis for sustainable functioning of an enterprise is the implementation of managing functional subsystems of economic resilience, the level of which for each subsystem may be different, but integrally ensure the economically safe functioning of enterprises at different phases of their economic development. Based on the definition of the main goal and criterion of management of enterprise economic resilience, a methodological basis for this process is proposed. It presents a consolidation of concepts and theories concerning the functional subsystems of economic resilience, scientific approaches, specific and fundamental principles and methods, the hierarchical structuring of which allows systematizing the methodology of scientific cognition of management of enterprise economic resilience and form a certain set of scientific views on the organization of theoretical and practical activities aimed at improving efficiency of this process and ensuring a stable functioning of an enterprise in the face of uncertainty.

Evaluation of the Performance of Ukraine’s Engineering Enterprises (p. 197 - 206)
The article analyzes activities of the engineering industry of Ukraine in terms of their effectiveness. The study considers dynamic patterns of changes in the volumes of production and sales of engineering products, financial results before tax, net profit (loss) and profitability (loss-making) of operating activities of the engineering industry as a whole and in the context of types of production for 2013–2018. It is revealed that in all areas of engineering industry in the period 2013–2017 their share in the total volume of industrial production fell, although, in monetary terms the manufacturing and sales of engineering products has been growing since 2015. The proportion of sold engineering products in the total volume of sold industrial products for 2013–2016 decreased from 8.6 % to 6.1 %, and in 2017–2018 it rose to 6.9 %. It is determined that the 2014 crisis significantly affected the performance of engineering enterprises: financial results sharply decreased to negative values, the net profit value fluctuated depending on the financial results, operating activities were unprofitable. However, starting from 2015, engineering enterprises were able to adapt to the market and political changes, increase their production volumes and profitability, primarily those engaged in the production of computers, electronic and optical products, and electrical equipment. Thus, in 2014, all industrial enterprises including engineering ones suffered losses; in 2015, only enterprises engaged in the production of computers, electronic and optical products gained profit, and, in 2016, enterprises engaged in the production of machinery and equipment joined them; in 2017, enterprises of all areas of engineering gained profit; in 2018, the profit of the entire engineering industry grew by 88.5 %. Accordingly, in 2015–2017, there observed a dynamic growth in the profitability of operating activities to 9.8 %, although in 2018 there was a decrease by 13.3 %. Enterprises engaged in the production of computers, electronic and optical products, and electrical equipment had the highest operating profit. Article is written in Ukrainian

The Torsion Hypothesis to Justify the Economic Integration of High-Tech Enterprises (p. 207 - 213)
The article studies integration, as an indispensable attribute of any economic system and the most important factor that contributes to its stable evolutionary development, and highlights its dual nature, namely: achievement of a new quality and new integrity using previously unrelated parts and, on the other hand, possible behavior of these processes within an existing system; consolidation and stabilization of an unstable system, improvement of its integrity and organization level, transformation of its old structure into a more progressive one. To expand the subject matter of this study, a multidimensional physical paradigm is used. In the context of the paradigm, a torsion hypothesis is applied to justify the economic integration of high-tech enterprises based on the Graves double-helix model, which combines the balanced functioning of two components of enterprise development: business paradigms, as a kind of philosophy of perception and adaptation to reality and conditions of their existence, within the framework of which the synchronization of torsion fields of helixes acquires a certain economic content and means binding to the time course of integration processes. The Graves integrated cyclic double-helix model is modified by introducing a third spiral — convergent meso-helix, which symbolizes the component reflecting state regulation of national institutions of integration relations (here, institutions are norms and rules that determine the forms and boundaries of integration as well as mechanisms that ensure their implementation). At the same time, state regulation is acquiring a new — negotiating, partnering and conciliatory – character rather than a rigid state monopoly, which ensures the balance, coherence and timeliness of the necessary integration transformations of high-tech enterprises.

Enterprise Development Management: Clarification of Theoretical Principles (p. 214 - 226)
The aim of the article is to clarify the theoretical principles of industrial enterprise development management. The study sets the tasks of analyzing scientific approaches to the formation of a categorical and conceptual apparatus for managing development of industrial enterprises; defining the theoretical principles of development management by principles, directions, areas and types of management; developing a model of the mechanism for managing development of industrial enterprises. Based on the study, the concept “industrial enterprise development management” is clarified. It is considered as the process of positive changes in an enterprise, arising under the influence of external and internal environment to fulfill the enterprise’s mission and achieve strategic goals of increasing the level of development in all areas of its activity. To define the theoretical principles of industrial enterprise development management, there determined the necessary criteria – features of classification: by scientific approaches, areas of activity, types of potential, life cycle of the enterprise, types of planning and development. All the features are consistent with the management principles and functions. The implementation of theoretical principles is carried out using the control mechanism. The article proposes a model of the mechanism for enterprise development management, the basis of which is represented by its components, namely: analytical, technical and technological, organizational and economic, administrative legal ones. Each of the components of the mechanism uses its own methods, tools and control levers. The classical management methods (economic; administrative legal; organizational) are supplemented by economic and mathematical ones, computer programs and technologies since, under modern economic conditions, it is impossible to carry out management without using the mathematical apparatus and computer technologies. Management tools are grouped by traditional areas of activity – economic, social and environmental. Each group of tools is detailed in terms of type and control levers. Management tools are selected in accordance with international studies conducted annually by Bain & Company. The tools require specification concerning the normative indicators (control levers) established by the state or the enterprise, with the help of which actions aimed at achieving sustainable development by an industrial enterprise are carried out. Thus, the presented developments allow an enterprise to clearly define the goal, principles, functions, approaches, directions, areas and types of management, build an effective management mechanism to achieve sustainable development as most progressive.

Prioritizing the Need to Intensify Management of Economic Behavior of Enterprises Based on Analysis of Economic Indicators of their Activities (p. 224 - 239)
The aim of the article is the analysis of economic indicators of industrial enterprises of Ukraine as a basis for prioritizing the need to intensify management of their economic behavior. The authors analyze the indicators of socio-economic development of Ukraine for the period 2010–2018; the changes in the volumes and structure of industrial products sold in Ukraine for 2014–2019, in particular those in the volume of products sold in the processing industry; the changes in sales volumes of engineering products; the financial results of industrial enterprises in general and engineering ones in particular. All this has allowed to draw conclusions about the state of the industrial sector in Ukraine, namely: at present, there observed a gradual overcoming of the consequences of the financial crisis and the political and economic consequences; the problem of the development of mechanical engineering is in the outdated material and technical base that influences its general competitiveness due to the impact on the quality and cost of products, which results in their non-compliance with the requirements of the world market; operating profitability is low and decreases in 2018, which does not allow enterprises to grow and also stimulates the low innovation activity since the main source for financing the innovation process is the own funds of enterprises; the quantitative composition of workers in industrial enterprises is declining while the qualitative composition is deteriorating, which results from the fact that wages are significantly lower than the world average ones, and the outflow of highly qualified personnel continues due to labor migration; an insignificant share of mechanical engineering in the structure of industry of Ukraine, namely 11.77 % as of 2019; high resource consumption, energy intensity, and material consumption of engineering products, as well as low rates of development, mastering and manufacturing of new products. All this makes it possible to prioritize the need to intensify management of the economic behavior of enterprises as a way for developing industry in Ukraine. Article is written in Ukrainian

Multifaceted Nature of Forming the Process of Management of Industrial Enterprise Development Security (p. 240 - 246)
The aim of the article is to systematize and generalize the multifaceted nature of the concept “development security” of an industrial enterprise. The article indicates that, in view of a complex combination of technical and technological, information, resource, financial and economic, intellectual, and personnel functional components, each of which in a certain way affects activities of a particular industrial enterprise, it is necessary to consider the complex phenomenon of development security of an enterprise, which implies eliminating threats to its development. In studying the concept “development security” of an industrial enterprise, the complexity of its formation was determined. This is primarily due to the complexity of the components, namely, “development” and “security” of the functioning of enterprises. Each of these concepts should be considered in several aspects (and / or in the context of several scientific disciplines): philosophical, social, financial and economic and managerial one. It is noted that man is an open, complex evolving system. Under conditions of the formation of a human-centered economy accompanied by a crisis opportunities for gaining new experience arise. Based on these conclusions, a system for determining the priority of cause-and-effect relationships in the system for managing security development of an industrial enterprise is proposed. The use of the suggested priority of cause-and-effect relationships in the system for managing security development of an industrial enterprise will make it possible to determine the direction of using enterprise management mechanisms both at the strategic and tactical levels in solving current problems.

Management of Diversification and Integration Development in an Enterprise: Theoretical and Methodological Aspects (p. 247 - 255)
The aim of the article is to develop and generalize the theoretical and methodological bases of managing diversification and integration development in an enterprise. To achieve the goal, the research is performed using the methods of generalization, abstract logical reasoning, induction, deduction, systematization, formalization. Scientific approaches to understanding the essence of the concept “development” and its necessity for effective functioning of enterprises in the changing modern turbulent environment are studied, which served a basis for improving the concept. Considerable attention is paid to the processes of diversification and integration development and the features of their use in activities of modern enterprises. Structural and functional relationships between these concepts are highlighted and the benefits (effects) from diversification and integration development are identified, which made it possible to justify its need for modern enterprises. The theoretical aspects of managing diversification and integration development in enterprises are substantiated. Thus, the above results allow an enterprise to clearly define the goal, principles, functions, approaches, directions, areas and types of management, build an effective management mechanism to achieve the desired effects of diversification and integration development in enterprises as the most acceptable under modern conditions of dynamism and unpredictability of the external and internal environment.

Analysis of the Credit Component of Financial Security of Business Entities in the Context of Improving Accounting and Auditing (p. 256 - 264)
The aim of the article is to justify the ways to improve accounting and auditing. In view of this, the authors analyze the influence of factors of the internal and external environment, which are conditioned by the current global financial crisis, on the development of the credit component of financial security of enterprises.Using the methods of generalization, internal and external factors influencing the development of the credit component of financial security of enterprises are identified. The degree of liquidity of the assets of individual enterprises and the possibility of using the credit component in their activities are analyzed based on the calculation of their creditworthiness, solvency, financial stability, and financial status (factors of the internal environment).Bu means of econometric modeling, it is found that the development of the credit component of financial security of the studied business entities is slowed down due to excessive growth in their current liabilities, compared to the relatively moderate rate of changes in the volume of their assets, as well as the limited possibilities for long-term borrowing and low return on assets.The regression analysis of the impact made by fluctuations of the exchange rate of the domesticcurrency against the US dollar and the euro (environmental factor) on the development of the credit component of financial security of the studied business entities revealed that this factor negatively affects both the volume of credit resources and the business entity as a whole.Under modern conditions of the global financial crisis,the practical implementation of the research results will improve quality and speed of making managerial decisions, which are based on accounting and audit data. In this regard, it makes sense to direct further research at identifying and eliminating the consequences of the global financial crisis of 2020 in activities of business entities.

Assessment of Transparency and Openness of a Public Utility Company (Institution, Organization) as a Guarantee of Effective Use of Local Finance and Territorial Development (p. 265 - 273)
Features and modern operating conditions of utility companies (institutions, organizations), in particular, the processes of democratization, decentralization, openness of society,necessitate improving the system of indicators that define requirements for the criteria used to evaluate their performance. Given the goals, objectives and current functions, the evaluation of performance of a utility company(institution, organization) should be carried out both according to economic and social criteria, which is explained by the fact that activities of a utility company(institution, organization) are aimed at solving social problems of the corresponding territorial community.This means that its performance efficiency is not always determined by profitability.It is possible to assess effectiveness of utility companies’ using local finance, which are the main income item in their budget, and the level of influence of a utility company(institution, organization) on the development of a territorial community only if the enterprise is transparent and open. It is proposed to single out the criterion “Public awareness of activities of a utility company (institution, organization)” in the system of criteria for assessing social performance of a utility company(institution, organization). Accordingly, in the system of indicators for evaluating social performance, it is appropriate to determine the level of transparency and openness ofa utility company(institution, organization). An algorithm for assessing the level of transparency of a utility company(institution, organization) as one of the stages of evaluating performance efficiency of utility companies (organizations, institutions) is given.

Business Models as a Tool for Improving the Strategic Positions of Enterprises in a Competitive Market (p. 274 - 280)
The aim of the article is the formation of a business model as a tool for improving the strategic positions of enterprises in competitive markets under modern turbulent conditions. Based on the results of the study, it is determined that at present, when new technologies are constantly appearing, consumer preferences are changing, new social trends are forming, the key factor ensuring success in competition is the correct choice of the business model of an enterprise. Successful innovative products are no longer a guarantee of success in the market. Thus, only comprehensive innovation activity that goes to the level of permanent monitoring of the adequacy of a business model to changing conditions, and designing it into an improved version is a determining factor for success in the competitive struggle. Fundamental changes — evolutionary and radical transformations — have shaped the economy and business environment in recent decades. Technologies, especially information and communication ones, have radically changed the requirements for building a successful business and managing it. Accordingly, revolutionary technologies require developing new business models as a tool for improving the strategic positions of enterprises in competitive markets. In today’s hyper-competitive environment, there is no ideal business model that can create sustainable competitive advantages. In the future, when changes will occur even faster, only the enterprises that will be able to use their full potential will succeed. The winners will be adaptive enterprises that can quickly respond to new challenges. The article presents a detailed description of the process of forming the essence of the concept “business model” and defines its structure; analyzes the characteristics of schools of thought that study business models; highlights the principles and objectives of the business model as an instrument for improving the strategic positions of enterprises in competitive markets.

Conceptual Aspects of Intensifying Management of the Economic Behavior of Production Railway Enterprises in the Context of Neo-Industrial Modernization (p. 281 - 287)
The aim of the article is to form conceptual aspects of intensifying management of the economic behavior of production railway enterprises in the context of neo-industrial modernization. It is determined that the modern market-type mechanism is based on a polycentric system of management and independence in forming effective tactical and strategic management decisions, as well as full responsibility for their results, through intensifying management of the economic behavior of production railway enterprises in the context of neo-industrial modernization.The prerogatives which are created by intensifying management of the economic behavior of production railway enterprises can neutralize and eliminate the negative effects of the external environment and form an integral part of their functioning including the goal-setting and formation of the concept, which are the basis for developing enterprise development strategies. The proposed concept of intensifying management of the economic behavior of production railway enterprises in the context of neo-industrial modernization is based on a significant decentralization of management functions.This is possible provided that the day-to day management considers problems and needs of the market and orients enterprises towards achieving the ultimate strategic goal of its activity, will allow taking into account the prospects for their balanced development and solve the problem of eliminating the negative effect of changes in the external and internal environment, and also will contribute to maintaining technological and logistic ties, and potential resources of enterprises; based on a wide apparatus of methods, methodologies and techniques for the collection and analysis of information.

Practical Aspects of Assessing the Financial Resources of an Enterprise (p. 288 - 294)
The aim of the article is to justify and test a methodological approach to assessing the level of financial resources based on a summarizing rating indicator, using an example of an oil-producing enterprise, as well as to study the changes in the state of financial resources of Ukrnafta OJSC during 2016–2018. The article discusses several methodological approaches to assessing the financial state of an enterprise applying the method of ratios, without bringing them to a single indicator. These methodologies imply assessment of a significant number of indicators and need for their interpretation.However, as regards the simplicity of calculation and interpretation, a methodology for assessing financial resources proposed by R. K. Shurpenkova and T. V. Kalaitan is of interest.It involves express analysis of 5 key financial indicators characterizing liquidity, solvency and financial stability as well as determination of a synthetic rating indicator of financial resources. Based on the financial statements of Ukrnafta OJSC for the last 3 years, using this methodology, an assessment of the financial resources of the enterprise is carried out.The retrospective analysis of Ukrnafta OJSC allows to conclude that the company has an unsatisfactory financial state since the value of the rating indicator for assessing financial resources is less than 1. To improve the situation, the company should optimize the structure of current and non-current assets, attract additional funds from the owners and make timely settlements with creditors by using budgeting and drawing up a payment calendar, as well as reduce the amount of current liabilities by obtaining credit funds for a longer period of time.

Organizational and Managerial Innovations in Increasing Efficiency of Logistics Using the Example of a Supply Chain (p. 325 - 330)
The theoretical foundations of organizational and managerial innovation in increasing efficiency of manufacturing, practical business aspects of organizational and managerial innovation in enhancing business efficiency are studied. These issues were considered both by Ukrainian and foreign scientists. However, today, despite the multitude of works highlighting these issues, there are no comprehensive studies dealing with the generalization and systematization of existing supply chain models. Organizational and managerial innovations in increasing efficiency of logistics are considered using the example of a supply chain. It is proved that organizational and managerial innovations are continuous in time, starting from the initial one, which, after a situational analysis, goes through planning, programming, particular actions aimed at its implementation and making decisions for the future. Given the existing risks and the complexity of innovative solutions, specific approaches are proposed to increase efficiency of logistics using the example of a supply chain. Improving a supply chain with particular tools allows introducing market changes in the organization of the supply chain. Application of innovation in logistics requires quick decisions to address the issues of production, management and environmental impacts on logistics processes. It is found that a supply chain with the necessary attributes provides many benefits to companies that use its tools through outsourcing agreements. Considering the practice of European companies, it is proven that the introduction of logistics tools increases the company’s profitability after six months of their constant use and its participation in logistics outsourcing projects, contributes to the growth of the company’s market share, speeds up its penetration into new markets by expanding the geography of the functioning of logistics operators and banks – supply chain business partners.

Organizational and Economic Financing Mechanism for the Innovative potential of Enterprise Staff (p. 119 - 125)
The article gives ground for the need to form organizational and economic mechanism for effectively managing the process of financing the innovative potential of an enterprise. The existing research papers in this area do not pay the necessary attention to the issue. Some fragmentary studies, though do exist, still do not give a holistic and systematic view of the processes, goals, objectives, indicators and criteria, functions, tools for financing the innovative potential of enterprise staff. The genesis of scientific thought about the essence of the "organizational and economic mechanism" concept was considered through systematizing and generalizing various scientific works on the issue. The research has resulted in defining the essence of the organizational and economic mechanism for financing the innovative potential of an enterprise staff; pointing out its basic essential characteristics; describing the system of its constructive principles. The authors have designed an organizational and economic mechanism for financing the innovative potential of an enterprise staff through combining targeted, process, functional and support approaches. At the same time, the authors have taken into account the fact that the abovementioned mechanism is considered as an open system, which has entrance (external factors and financial capabilities of employees and enterprises); exit (financial results); and the internal structure of the organizational and economic mechanism, which is schematically presented in the article. Besides, the system has a cyclical pattern and provides feedback. It has been proven that it is necessary to evaluate the economic efficiency of the organizational and economic mechanism for financing the innovative potential of the staff at each stage of its formation and operation. The practical application of the suggested organizational and economic mechanism allows the enterprise management to improve the financing of the innovative potential of the staff in accordance with the goals and efficiency criteria set at the enterprise.

Safeguarding the Economic Security of an Enterprise by Encouraging Staff to Strategic Changes (p. 126 - 133)
Strategic changes involve new challenges and threats to the economic security of an enterprise. Resource components of economic security, i.e., the staff and finances, remain particularly sensitive to such changes. The staff as a resource of an enterprise, its professionalism and skills is one of the main factors influencing economic security, so it is advisable to form a motivational system for staff management as a component of economic security management in the context of the enterprise strategic development. The article aims at studying the staff’s motivation to strategic change and development in the context of providing the economic security of an enterprise. The interdependence of strategic economic interests of an enterprise and the provision of economic security, the methods of motivation and its role in economic security, and the motivational mechanism of staff management have been analyzed using the methods of analysis, comparison and generalization. The article has resulted in analyzing the strategic, tactical and operational methods of staff motivation, and identifying their relationship. Strategic directions of staff motivation in the security system facing strategic changes are offered. Specific measures for staff motivation in the context of strategic changes are also suggested, including mainly intangible measures aimed at raising self-motivation of an employee. Staff motivation in the face of strategic changes can provide the optimal level of protection of both personal interests and the interests of an enterprise. The development of a motivational mechanism for staff management will allow the economic security system to be restructured in accordance with strategic changes. Article is written in Ukrainian

Economic Interaction of Agricultural Development and Agricultural Machine-Engineering (p. 134 - 145)
The paper deals with the study of the relationship between agricultural development of and agricultural engineering. Production output of certain types of machines and equipment for agriculture are examined. The dynamics of production performance in plant growing and stockbreeding is analyzed. The dynamics of such agricultural development indices as net income, subsidies, taxes, net value added, fixed capital application, etc. are considered. The tripling of output and a steady growth of net profit of agricultural producers are established. It is proven that farm equipment upgrading is less active than net income growth, and thus it was determined that enterprises have the necessary financial resources to generate demand for agricultural machinery. The peculiarities of agricultural machinery production in Ukraine at the present stage are revealed, in particular the causes and consequences of such a situation in production machinery for agricultural enterprises. Two opposite trends in agricultural machinery production are identified, namely, the decline in the production of complex, expensive machinery and the increase in the production of less costly appliances. The condition of the durable equipment in agriculture is analyzed by identifying their value and the degree of wear.

Approaches to the Implementation of Strategic Planning at Trade Enterprises (p. 146 - 154)
The current situation in the commercial sector of Ukraine’s economy and changes that have taken place in commercial enterprises in Ukraine have been analyzed. The principles and methodical approaches have been suggested to introduce a system of strategic planning at enterprises functioning under conditions of developed market relations and unsteady economic environment; and to reveal the most effective tools of planning economic activity in the modern economic system. Factors of external and internal environment influencing the activity of enterprises have been defined. Today, the trade industry is undergoing significant changes due to the introduction of restrictions caused by the pandemic. The trade turnover indices of wholesale and retail enterprises in Ukraine for 2018–2020 show that wholesale trade has decreased in many sales areas. The growth of wholesale trade has only occurred in the following categories: trade in food, beverages and tobacco products (+9.75 %), trade in household goods (+6.57 %) and non-specialized wholesale trade (+0.73 %). Other areas had to reduce their turnover due to declining demand during the pandemic constraints. Retail trade, in its turn, increased its performance and brought income to enterprises, the Transcarpathian region being the only one to reduce (-9.49 %) the indices compared to the same period in 2019. The activity of commercial enterprises has also been analyzed, and approaches to introducing strategic planning at modern Ukrainian enterprises have been substantiated. The external and internal environment factors for the trade sector have been determined, and recommendations for implementing changes have been given. To solve these problems, it is necessary to develop a set of strategic planning measures to improve the state of Ukraine's trade sector. One of the first steps should be changing the development strategy for wholesale and retail enterprises, which will ensure the maintenance and development of an enterprise. Given the unstable situation in Ukraine’s economy and politics, alternative business development options should be designed, with consideration to possible changes. Article is written in Ukrainian

The Essence and Role of Reengineering at Enterprises (p. 155 - 163)
The article aims at developing the essence of the concept of reengineering and highlighting its characteristics. Various approaches to the interpretation of this concept have been considered from a historical viewpoint. It has been found out that modern scientists consider this concept from different positions, e.g. as a conceptual and methodological approach, as philosophy of activity, as skills, as a method of business management, as a concept of change, as a method of restructuring, as a tool for business efficiency, as a process, as a type and sphere of professional activity, etc. At the same time, taking into account the instruments of morphological analysis; identifying the advantages and disadvantages of each of the approaches to understand the meaning of "reengineering"; as well as studying practical experience; and finally, drawing general conclusions from scientific research on this issue have allowed the author to substantiate the expediency of interpreting reengineering as a direction of management activities aimed at restructuring business processes at an enterprise radically to achieve the established efficiency criteria. The main business components have been identified and characterized, in relation to and in the context of which the need to use reengineering instruments can be considered. The prevailing components of reengineering in the activity of enterprises have been analyzed. To specify the essence of the "reengineering" concept, its characteristic features are highlighted, namely: the individual nature of work and services performed (provided) within it; dependence of the content and nature of reengineering on the features of business entity; significant influence of the competence of business entities responsible for reengineering on its effectiveness; coverage by reengineering of both traditional and innovative business processes; an opportunity for business entities to solve a wide range of problems through using reengineering; the difficulty of establishing clear and unambiguous criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of reengineering in the initial stages of its implementation; the temporary nature of the relationship between the parties involved in the reengineering project implementation; relative separation of reengineering from the current production and economic activities of a company; the possibility of applying reengineering to various business processes at an enterprise; the necessity to make initial investments in the performance of work (services) within an reengineering project.

Conceptual Aspects of Managing the Diversification and Integration Development of Enterprises in the Conditions of Neo-Technological Reproduction (p. 164 - 170)
The effective development of an enterprise depends on the effective management of this development. Management of enterprise development is based on known paradigms and concepts of management, which change depending on changes in the business environment. Accordingly, the conceptual aspects of enterprise development management change depending on the changing business environment. The article aims at forming the concept of managing the diversification and integration development of enterprises in the conditions of neo-technological reproduction. The peculiarities of modern conditions of enterprise development, characterized by manufacturability, innovation, and creativity, are analyzed. The main priorities in enterprise management in this environment are analyzed. It is proved that the activities of modern enterprises take place in the conditions of neo-technological reproduction. It is established that diversification and integration development is an effective direction of development for enterprises in the specified environment. The elements and the necessity of applying the corresponding aspects of the concept of managing the diversification and integration development of enterprises in the conditions of neo-technological reproduction are outlined. The article suggests a sketch of the concept based on the delimitation and identification of objective trends in the interaction between the following economic categories: "business process reengineering", "management innovation" and "resource allocation." The author takes into account the multidisciplinary paradigm of spreading creative ideas taken from scientific theories, and the results of successful implementation of specific knowledge into various aspects of society activity. The concept is aimed at providing the successful development of an enterprise, taking into account the main external and internal incentives for such development. It is proved that the proposed concept forms a theoretical and methodological basis for improving the management system of diversification and integration development in terms of neo-technological reproduction, as its observance provides the ability to produce cumulative neo-technological effects, and to activate qualitative and quantitative changes. As a result, it promotes the effective development of an enterprise and forms the innovative development management through the prism of three conceptual areas: the technological effectiveness of the process, knowledge creativity, and resource innovativeness.

Integrating the Management of Competitive and Innovation-Investment Behavior of Agricultural Enterprises into the Sustainable Development Paradigm (p. 171 - 176)
The article aims at identifying promising directions for managing the competitive, innovative and investment behavior of agricultural enterprises, immanent to the general trends in the global economy performance, based on the studies in the evolution of the sustainable development paradigm. The analysis is based on the hypothesis that mitigating the impact of global challenges in the agricultural sector, associated with industrialization processes, as well as ensuring the growth of production efficiency and competitive potential, requires the sustainable development paradigm to be implemented in the activities of agricultural enterprises, thus ensuring the harmonious development of the following interrelated components: the economic, social and environmental ones. Having assessed the degree of their balance, we have discovered insufficient development of the social component, which hinders the development of human capital. It has been proved that building up the social assets of agricultural enterprises and strengthening the competitive potential are closely related to changes in the social subsystem of management. Within its framework, the phenomenon of organizational culture is recognized as a significant factor of indirect impact. The courses of the transformation in the interaction processes between society and business within the framework of the sustainable development paradigm are revealed. The authors come to conclusion that it is necessary to update a company’s mission in accordance with the principles of social responsibility, which implies the involvement of social and environmental aspects in business activities on the basis of interaction among various stakeholders (influence groups). Compliance with the principles of social responsibility positively affects the competitiveness of agribusiness entities in the following areas: improving the image and reputation of brands; increasing sales and consumer loyalty to the company’s products; reducing staff turnover rates; establishing partnership relations with the authorities; facilitating access to the media; increasing investors’ interest.

The purpose of the article is to substantiate a sound plan to design and implement a quality management system (QMS) at a typical domestic industrial enterprise: from the pre-design phase to obtaining a conformity certificate; to highlight problems that arise during the implementation of QMS, and to suggest sound recommendations for their solution. The introduction of QMS is considered as a project with the appropriate stages: the initiation stage, which means making decision on introducing QMS and appointing the project manager and task group; the planning stage, which means training the task group, defining the mission, vision, and policy in the field of the company quality, and designing the structure of QMS processes; the implementation stage, which means creating and publishing QMS documents and those of the pre-certification internal audit cycle; the completion stage, which means implementing all the documented procedures designed, and obtaining a certificate of their compliance with the requirements of ISO 9001 standart. The stages of such a project, their sequence, the estimated duration and distribution of responsibilities between the persons involved are offered. Possible problems arising at various stages of such a project are considered, namely: the conflict of QMS processes structure with the existing organizational set-up; unification of terms in the QMS processes structure due to the terminology already existing in the internal documentation; vague definition or lack of performance indicators; difficulties with the creation of the documentation system. Among the causes of these problems are: lack of motivation, unprofessionalism and / or lack of time among the developers, attempts to adapt to the existing system, the inconsistency of the actual goals of the organization head with the declared ones. It is recommended to divide the problem areas into three groups: by the performers (personal ones), by the system (systemic ones) and by the management of the company (administrative or leadership ones). A number of measures to eliminate or minimize the risks of problems arising during the introduction of QMS are suggested, and the responsibility areas as for taking these measures are determined.

Forming Social Responsibility of Agricultural Enterprises in the Conditions of Sustainable Development (p. 195 - 200)
The article substantiates the necessity to introduce modern mechanisms of interaction between the state and business, and between business and society as well in order to ensure sustainable economic growth in Ukraine. Today agricultural enterprises more and more often appear under pressure to solve social problems, realize the harm they do to the environment in their supply chains, and need to find ways to solve critical socio-economic and environmental challenges set in accordance with the goals of sustainable development. The evolution of schools of thought developing the concept of corporate social responsibility is studied, as well as those of the economic system and industrial transformations, which were actively developing in the twentieth century society. It has been found out that the impact of social responsibility on the welfare of the population was considered through the prism of three areas: business ethics, business and society, and social aspects of management. It is substantiated that corporate social responsibility is an umbrella term for various theories and practices, admitting that corporations are responsible for their impact on society and the environment, sometimes even beyond compliance with the law and the responsibility of individuals; companies are responsible for the behavior of others with whom they do business (for example, suppliers in the supply chain); companies should handle their relationships with society at large. The peculiarities of the approaches of large farms (collective farms) to the socio-economic development of rural areas in the planned economy in Soviet times are outlined. It has been found out that collective farms provided a wide range of support to rural communities and household plot owners, namely, by providing the following: full employment, rural social infrastructure, resources and services on homesteads. The peculiarities of European approaches to the development of social responsibility have been studied. The relationship between the social responsibility of agricultural enterprises and the revival of rural areas has been established. Article is written in Ukrainian

The Strategic Potential Formation of the Security-Oriented Development of an Enterprise (p. 256 - 264)
The development of information economy, Ukraine’s integration into the world economic space, globalization processes and the resulting increase in competition exacerbate the problem of high-quality and efficient management of business processes at industrial enterprises. The necessity to increase the scale of high-tech production, to expand the range of innovative products and new requirements for their quality, cause attention focusing on the processes of forming the strategic potential of enterprises, namely, learning and finding new strategic opportunities, implementing organizational forms and tools, creating conditions for sustainable innovation and security-oriented development of domestic enterprises. The formation of strategic potential as an object of development management begins at the stage of intentions emergence and goals selection. Strategies, mechanisms (coordination, training, regulation, preservation and protection), organizational methods, forms of strategic management of economic security, as well as methods of selecting and coordinating adaptive measures that meet the guidelines of enterprise development are the strategic tools for security-oriented enterprise development. The division of development security strategies into types includes, first of all, the types of passive and active strategic behavior of an enterprise in the market. Passive survival strategies use available opportunities and are a typical course of action for a company in a stable and predictable environment; this "passivity" is determined by the fact that a company does not try to influence the external environment. Active survival strategies are aimed at actively searching for enterprise opportunities and effectively using them, and are implemented through transforming the internal structure of an enterprise and using complex strategic forms of behavior in the market. Strategies of actively influencing the external environment are realized through actively searching for new opportunities for innovative enterprise development and creating them.

The main aim of the article is to update the research on identifying problems and developing measures to overcome professional burnout through a combination of instruments in the author’s sociological study, taking the staff of one of the domestic enterprises as the material for the research. The aim is also to identify and determine the key symptoms of burnout syndrome. Given the brisk growth of the service sector, it is obvious that it naturally affects the increase in the number of «man-man» professions, which are among the most vulnerable ones as for the burnout probability. That is why diagnosis of such problems has been performed at a restaurant from a popular chain in Ukraine. The key objectives of this study are the following: to determine the structure of the company’s staff by estimating the burnout level; to compare negative factors influencing the restaurant employees’ work; to assess the impact of working conditions on burnout; to find out the respondents’ attitude to work; to compare the respondents’ assessments of the components of the «Individuality» factor. The study has resulted in identifying the following problems: employees’ improper attitude to work; long working hours leading to overwork; conflicting clients; inadequate rest conditions for employees. Besides diagnosing these problems, the article also suggests measures to overcome them, naming some projected indicators of reducing the effects of employees’ burnout at the enterprise under study and the corresponding costs for taking these measures.

Implementation of Foreign Experience in Employee Motivation into the Activity of Ukrainian Enterprises (p. 72 - 77)
The actual value of the issue in question lies in the new challenges present in the labor market and the transformation of public relations in connection with COVID-19, making it necessary to reconsider the mechanism of employee motivation, i.e. using the latest instruments for the utilization and management of labor resources. We believe that reasonable implementation of effective employee motivation instruments, developed by successful enterprises, will lead to highly productive work of employees at enterprises and increase the efficiency of human resources utilization. The article aims at analyzing the motivational models of the leading countries and to form the principles of implementing their experience in the business practice of Ukrainian enterprises. The research results in identifying popular instruments used abroad, which are most effective in the current situation in Ukraine, namely: motivating employees to innovative activity by evaluating the results obtained; employees involvement in the management, strategic planning and distribution of corporate profits; flexibility and social dimension of salaries and wages; scoring and rating employees’ performance; encouraging competition and teamwork. The principles of introducing an effective employee motivation model based on foreign experience are formed. It is concluded that if Ukrainian enterprises use employees’ motivation instruments that have proved their effectiveness abroad, then, if used systematically and holistically, they will bring economic growth to the enterprises and social development to the country, in general.

Developing an Adaptive Financial Management System at an Enterprise (p. 78 - 84)
The article examines some peculiarities of developing an adaptive financial management system at domestic enterprises. It was found out that the management and application of financial resources in a market economy is carried out through financial payments. This mechanism is based on the control over production expenses level and their divergence from socially necessary costs. It is noted that budgeting is the main basis for building an adaptive financial management system at an enterprise, which pays due regard to the impact of financial risks and the ways to avert them. Cash flow management cannot but use the scheme for behavioral modeling of the possible outcomes of the cash flows. The development of financial models for assessing and managing financial risks is part of the overall budgeting system at an enterprise. They are a fairly reliable instrument for assessing and managing the entire financial risks system at an enterprise, as they make it possible to assess different levels of risk due to different factors influencing them and to the different levels of risk controllability. To describe the relationship of financial indicators, a multifactor model is proposed, which allows a detailed study of the interdependence of features, the closeness of the relationship between variables, their subordination. It makes it possible to describe the mutual influence of internal and external factors on the total capital efficiency, to take into account changes (variations) in the parameters of this environment, the reaction of financial stability to these deviations. It is concluded that the development of an adaptive financial management system at an enterprise helps to improve the financial performance of the enterprise, provides transparency to the financial management and cash flow and allows the management to take viable solutions and create the most profitable financial plans.

Methods of Costs Allocation for Equipment Maintenance and Operation in Determining Industrial Products’ Costs (p. 85 - 90)
The method of costs allocation for equipment maintenance and operation has been analyzed. It is especially important to properly allocate costs by type of product at those industrial enterprises, where a complex range of products is produced as a result of a single production process. The main method for calculating the product cost unit in industry is calculating the product cost and expense budget. Differentiated methods should be used in allocating indirect costs between particular products or types of products, depending on the nature of a cost, its economic nature, and its connection with the process of forming production cost. In calculating production cost, costs for production maintenance and management are identified, having a very diverse composition. A big group of expenses connected with equipment operation (depreciation on operating equipment and vehicles; maintenance repair of the equipment and shop-floor travelers; wear of low-value tools; the wages of workers engaged in equipment maintenance; maintenance materials) is singled out in a special spending pattern. It is established that quite accurate results are also used in a number of industries. For example, the method of allocation of indirect costs allows the maintenance costs and equipment operation costs to be reasonably allocated, thus making it possible to more accurately calculate the production cost and make management decisions on this basis. It should be noted that, since indirect costs include a large number of various production costs, which differ in many economic respects, allocation of all indirect costs should not be carried out on a single basis.

Bankruptcy Prevention Strategies in the Context of Risk Management (p. 91 - 97)
The article aims at summarizing the existing risk management strategies helping to prevent bankruptcy and liquidation of enterprises, taking into account modern environmental challenges and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the performance of business units. As a result of the study, tactical and strategic methods of risk management were identified. The components of the risk management process are identified in accordance with international standards. The main types of enterprise management strategies in crisis situations are described, highlighting the ERM approach, together with its main differences and advantages for its use at enterprises. Statistical data on the number of business entities in Ukraine and the number of bankruptcy proceedings in 2016-2020 are analyzed. It is emphasized that the goals and main tasks of the state policy of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine for 2021-2023 include the introduction of transparent bankruptcy procedures, which will quickly restore the debtor's solvency or fairly distribute the bankrupt's assets among creditors. Changes to the procedure for initiating bankruptcy proceedings of a legal entity, defined by the Bankruptcy Procedure Code of Ukraine, are suggested. Threats to businesses engaged in foreign economic transactions are presented based on an overall assessment of the global impact of risk scenarios on business (GBI). It is proven that the rationalization of strategic planning instruments and the implementation of a systemic approach to the crisis management of an entity, in general, and its financial and economic activities, in particular, influence greatly the effectiveness of restoring the financial solvency of that entity in a crisis situation. Determining the effectiveness of state support programs for carrying out business activity in the pandemic, and assessing the medium-term effectiveness of measures taken by government agencies make up the directions for further research.

Digital Economy as an Environment for Developing Innovation Activity of Small Businesses (p. 103 - 110)
Modern economic systems are being transformed under the influence of new technological trends. A number of important technology trends are related to information technologies (IT). Their widespread use leads to the emergence of a new type of economy, the digital economy (DE), which determines the scope and new directions of innovation and business. This opens up great opportunities for small innovative businesses, which can play a major role in its formation. The article is aimed at clarifying the essence and segmentation of DE and presenting it as an environment for developing innovative activity at small businesses. The essence of IT, software, and information systems is specified. The concept of IT is explained, and the essence of digitalization and digital transformations is specified. The essential features of DE are identified, and its components (IT, infrastructure, and business) and the basis (social networks, big data devices, etc.) are specified. DE is based on a technological "core" (IT, various technical platforms, physical technologies); has a functional "core" (digital platforms, systems of workgroup computing, process automation); encompasses economic activity; includes a number of goods and services that are critically dependent on IT. It is substantiated that IT creates a special virtual environment and new forms of markets. It is suggested to segment DE, for example:: e-commerce; e-marketing; e-procurement; electronic auctions; electronic infrastructures; e-logistics; electronic medicine; e-education; electronic trading; electronic banking; electronic insurance. The emergence of FinTech, "smart farms", "smart factories", "smart warehouses", "smart things", "smart home", "smart jobs", etc. is also noted. The obtained segmentation determines the directions of structural development of DE. It is substantiated that IT creates opportunities for innovative activity of small businesses and should be considered as corresponding environment. The understanding of the development of innovation activity and its areas in DE are clarified. In this context, the lines of the state regulation of DE are defined. Article is written in Ukrainian

Theoretical and Methodological Basis for Evaluating a Novelty Portfolio and Its Management Efficiency at Industrial Enterprises, Focused on the International Market (p. 111 - 119)
The article is aimed at studying the theoretical and methodological foundations of the process of managing and evaluating novelty portfolios at industrial enterprises focused on the international market, as well as at developing recommendations helping to improve their efficiency. The concepts of novelty portfolio (intellectual property portfolio) and innovation portfolio are analyzed, differentiated and further developed. The place and role of the process of novelty portfolio management in ensuring effective international economic activity of an industrial enterprise and its sustainable development are substantiated. A proprietary model for assessing a novelty portfolio and efficiency of its management process at industrial enterprises planning to enter the international market is developed and suggested for use as a basis for ensuring their competitiveness and sustainable development in the context of economy digitalization and the growing number of challenges and threats. Promising research areas on this issue are highlighted, such as developing optimizing programs for novelty portfolios in accordance with the industry specifics; improving the process of forming a novelty portfolio at industrial enterprises through carrying out marketing and patent research as a tool to harmonize stakeholders’ interests; and creating favorable conditions for the implementation of an already formed novelty portfolio by introducing relevant strategies in the activities of industrial enterprises as soon as possible.

Energy Saving as an Important Factor in Ensuring Product Competitiveness (p. 120 - 125)
The article is aimed at studying the features of energy saving at a manufacturing enterprise and establishing a cause-and-effect relationship between energy saving and product competitiveness. Due to analyzing and generalizing the research results of domestic and foreign scientists the views of researchers on the process of energy saving at a manufacturing enterprise are systematized; the growing role of energy saving in ensuring energy efficiency and, consequently, product competitiveness is established. The research results show that energy saving at an enterprise is one of its most important assets, the impact of which on the level of product competitiveness is becoming increasingly important in the face of the exacerbating energy and environmental crises. Energy saving, basically focusing on the intensification of production processes and use of energy and energy resources, on the one hand, reduces the level of specific energy consumption and, consequently, the price of the released product while maintaining or increasing its quality; on the other hand, it reduces the carbon loading on the environment, thus contributes to the growth of the company's image among its consumers and partners. Both components are the most important factors in ensuring product competitiveness. The development and implementation of energy saving measures at industrial enterprises, with regard to the industry-specific character of economic entities, market conditions, and the requirements of environmental standards can serve as prospects for further research.

Assessing the Management of the Reputational Component of Corporate Social Responsibility of Ukrainian Companies (p. 126 - 133)
The article is aimed at assessing the corporate social responsibility of organizations in Ukraine by using progressive international ratings, defining the relationship and interaction of the social responsibility and reputation of a company, and on this basis at developing a conceptual scientific and methodological approach to assessing the corporate social responsibility of Ukrainian companies. Modern international methodological approaches to assessing the management of the reputational component of social responsibility are analyzed, namely, Global CR RepTrak and Net Promoter Score. The research carried out shows the lack of a qualitative methodology to assess the reputational component of corporate social responsibility in Ukraine. Using the methodology of Global CR RepTrak and Net Promoter Score, and having analyzed open information sources, data from various ratings of Ukrainian companies, and own observations, the author proves the actual value of assessing the reputational component of corporate social responsibility of domestic enterprises, and performs the assessment itself. It is substantiated that both the external and internal reputational components of corporate social responsibility should be used for managing any national organization effectively. A new method for assessing the reputational component of corporate social responsibility is suggested with a view to providing socially responsible management of Ukrainian companies. Further research is needed to: define a system of institutional forms of the social responsibility of domestic enterprises; develop CSR models of national business structures; create comprehensive scientific and practical methods that will unambiguously assess the CSR of Ukrainian enterprises and turn the social responsibility of national producers into a competitive resource asset in global markets.

Assessment of Innovative Activity of Ukrainian Enterprises in the Field of Technology Transfer (p. 134 - 142)
The article aims at clarifying the classification features of the forms and directions of technology transfer, and analyzing empirical data on technology transfer operations in Ukraine. The effectiveness, efficiency and immediacy of technology transfer depend on the choice of its rational forms and directions of technology transfer. The combined form of transfer is considered to be most promising, as it encompasses the advantages of both the vertical and horizontal transfer forms based on the open innovation business model. Ukraine has prerequisites for the implementation of this form of technology transfer, but it is necessary to increase the innovative activity of industrial enterprises and research organizations, and to increase funding for innovation. In the future the authors plan to suggest an organizational and economic mechanism to increase innovation activity at the enterprise level. In 2007-2019 research and development at industrial enterprises (R&D) accounted for about 15% in the total cost of innovation, in average. The lowest share of R&D in total expenditures on innovation was observed in 2011 (7.5%), and the highest share was observed in 2018, comprising 26.3%. The share of costs for vertical transfer is 69.6-89.5%, which is much higher than that for horizontal transfer, which is 10.5-30.4%. The main reason for the decrease in the level of technology transfer at Ukrainian enterprises is the limited funding from the state and the negative investment climate in the country. The share of non-commercial transfers has been lower than 1% since 2012. Combined transfer based on digital technology platforms is virtually absent. Article is written in Ukrainian

Systemic Approach to Evaluating External Factors Influencing the Resource Potential of the Catering Industry (p. 143 - 148)
One of the defining sectoral features of the catering business as a component of a national economy is its increased sensitivity to changes occurring in the economic situation, environment and business practices. It is a priori impossible to take into account the absolute majority of factors influencing the process of resource potential formation, so it is necessary to determine the set of those factors that have a direct or indirect impact on the catering business in general and resource potential in particular, as well as on the formation of their comprehensive evaluation system. The article is aimed at evaluating the impact of these factors on the resource potential of enterprises in the catering industry. The macroenvironment is analyzed as a set of external factors of indirect impact by the following indices: GDP, investment, consumer price index, household income. The dualistic nature of the impact made by external factors of indirect impact is established, whereas these factors can be both opportunities and threats to the catering industry depending on certain criteria of the international economic situation. A comprehensive analysis of the meso environment from the standpoint of dividing impact factors in two groups: the market group (number of business entities in catering industry; gross output and volume of sales of goods; price indices for goods and services) and resource group (financial results of the catering industry and services; investment volume and structure in this area; employment and labor costs; information technologies usage). The presence and hidden sources by types of resources are established. Synthesis of the impact areas of external factors on the activity of catering business entities is made based on a symbiosis of the following methods: PEST-analysis, SWOT-analysis, PESTEL-analysis. A set of evaluation areas of factors influencing the formation of the resource potential of an enterprise is created, providing for the application of the distribution criterion depending on the area of evaluating external factors of indirect impact. The general economic indicator (GDP) is suggested to be used as a distribution criterion, whose range of values will indicate the transition of a particular index to the plane of "threat" or "opportunity".

Studying the Current State and Trends in Developing Logistics Activities at Machine-Building Enterprises (p. 149 - 158)
The current state and trends in developing logistics activities at machine-building enterprises is studied through evaluating the efficiency of financial flows. It is noted that studying the current state and trends in the logistics activities at machine-building enterprises is a necessary condition for the revival of mechanic engineering in our country. It is noted that the machine-building industry has specific features in management, which are associated with high costs for raw materials, energy, transportation, and labor resources. Mostly, products of machine-building enterprises have a fairly long usage (consumption) cycle, and are quite large, so their sale causes problems during periods of economic crisis, in contrast to, for example, food products. It is established that for the industry to undergo sustainable development, it needs to attract capital investments. The general problem with the level of financing, including the machine-building industry, negatively affects the prospects for reorganizing the production cycle, involving innovative technologies, introducing resource- and energy-saving processes in production, complying with environmental management. It is this set of conditions that is the key to making products of Ukraine’s machine-building industry attractive for global market consumers, and therefore, to increasing financial flows. As a result of the study, a methodological approach to evaluating the logistics activities at machine-building enterprises by selected indices of financial logistics is suggested, where the indices can be calculated on the basis of the annual financial statements of enterprises as for their balance (statement of financial position) and financial results (statement of comprehensive income), making it possible to identify both factors influencing the results of the economic activity of machine-building enterprises, and the degree of this influence. The calculated values of the relative efficiency ratios of financial logistics in managing accounts receivable and payable related to product flows can serve as input data to build a mathematical model for forecasting the efficiency of logistics activities at machine-building enterprises in Ukraine.

Innovativeness of Enterprises as a Determinant of Creating Industrial and Technological Clusters in the Context of Developing Innovative Cooperation (p. 159 - 168)
The article aims at substantiating the scientific and practical aspects of forming the resource and technological basis for innovation cooperation on the grounds of creating industrial and technological clusters, emphasizing the dominant features of enterprise innovation. The results of the study show that for a national economy to achieve sustainable development, it is necessary, among other things, to form and implement a whole system of innovation updating carried out through the latest forms of organizing innovation processes at different governmental levels. This requires a balanced partnership between the state, private and public sectors that are users of innovative products. It is substantiated that innovative cooperation is a creative, technological and knowledge technology of uniting the participants of the economic process in the socio-economic environment (industrial and non-industrial spheres), based on a convergent and synergistic approach. A structural and logical diagram of the process of forming innovative cooperation, whose development is determined by the logistics and management activities, and the resource and technological basis for such cooperation are suggested. The financing of innovative activity at industrial enterprises, the number of new technological processes and innovative types of products introduced in 2010–2019, capital investments in waste management are analyzed; the dependence of innovative products sold on innovatively active industrial enterprises is also studied. Scientific and practical aspects of creating a resource and technological basis for innovative cooperation are formed. The elaboration of an integrated logistics management mechanism designed to ensure the development of innovative cooperation can become a prospect for further research in this area.

Industrial Enterprise Management System in the Context of Innovative Development: Scientific and Practical Aspects of Assessment (p. 169 - 180)
The article is aimed at forming scientific and practical aspects of assessing the industrial enterprise management system in the context of innovative development. The research results show that creating an effective management system for the innovation-oriented development of industrial enterprises is aimed at stimulating them to become flexible and obtain long-term resilience to environmental factors for both the shorter and longer term. These features help industrial enterprises transform, face qualitative changes, and adapt to various external impulses. A method of assessing the industrial enterprise management system in the context of innovative development is suggested, which includes the following stages: preparatory stage; information stage; analytical stage; research stage; recommendation stage. The effective development of domestic industrial enterprises directly depends on the formation of a management system, which is assessed in the following areas: financial and economic support; long-term staffing; management and performance support; organizational and production support; information and analytical support. As a result of the study, integrated indices of the industrial enterprise management system for 2015–2019 were calculated. They showed that dynamic digitalization of the economy requires the industrial enterprises management to form innovative development guidelines in order to increase the competitiveness of industrial enterprises.

Adaptive Strategies of Enterprises in the Digital Environment (p. 110 - 116)
The article is aimed at substantiating the basics of adaptive control in the digital environment. The author puts forward and verifies a thesis on the necessity to develop adaptive strategic management amid the digital transformation of business on the basis of agile principles, which allow the most complete implementation of the customer-oriented approach. The author defines the adaptive strategy in the digital environment as a model of the company's adaptation to the digitalization of its interaction with customers, partners, competitors and other contact audiences. It has been suggested and proven that adaptive strategies are competitive in nature. Based on this hypothesis, adaptive strategies are systematized by the degree of their relevance in the digital environment. Strategies of cost optimization, differentiation, and focusing with reference to business digitalization are considered. The adaptive toolkit of these strategies is expanded by using more flexible methods and approaches. It is proved that the strategy of cost optimization is implemented thanks to such tools as business automation models, virtual product chains, combining real and virtual content of production processes (Building Information Model, blockchain technologies), and smart working model. A company can effectively differentiate its products and services by the digitalization of the existing products and services and the creation of new ones, convergence of consumer expectations based on SMAC (Social, Mobility, Analytics, Cloud) technologies, and through the omnichannel service of different customer groups. It is established that thanks to digital marketing and such technologies as authentic interaction, content marketing, social media marketing, performance branding, and affiliate marketing a company can strengthen its position in a certain market segment (or niche) and implement a customer-oriented approach. Risk management in the design of adaptive strategies in the digital environment can be seen as a prospect for further research. Article is written in Ukrainian

Organizational and Economic Plateau in Forming Digital Strategic Partnership (p. 108 - 113)
The article presents the models of competitive behavior and characterizes them in accordance with the stages of enterprise development. It is proved that at the stage of maturity and reformatting, it is necessary to take proactive measures to ensure sustainable development of the enterprise in the future. Bearing this in mind, the paper suggests two main models for building a successful company from the viewpoint of business reformatting: the progressive development model and the model of digital strategic partnership. Factors influencing the choice and justification of the scenario for enterprise development through the formation of digital strategic partnerships are highlighted. The models of progressive development and digital strategic partnership are compared in detail as for their maintenance, conditions of application, advantages and disadvantages. The organizational and economic plateau in forming digital strategic partnership is developed, the partnership being based on the principles of complexity, consistency and coherence of all the flows and business processes taking place at an, in order enterprises to ensure its efficiency and digitalization. At the same time, the integrated digital platform should provide comprehensive automated management of all flow processes of partner companies, and material flows should be mutually consistent and provided with flow processes, namely: transport logistics and financial, personnel, information and service processes. None of these processes can be considered separately from others, and the main goal of building digital strategic partnership should be systemic coordinated regulation of the activities of all these flow processes.

Statistical Methods in the Enterprise Development Management System (p. 114 - 120)
The article suggests a theoretical generalization of using statistical methods in the enterprise development management system. It is noted that the collection, arrangement and analysis of information on the current state and development perspectives of an economic entity is one of the most important enterprise development management instruments. That is, modern management methods require a reliable information supply, creation of a new strategy for collecting, processing and analyzing information. Statistical methods have been systematized according to their intended function. Statistical methods have been characterized within the enterprise development management system. The interrelation between the use of statistical methods and enterprise development management system is proved. An example of using statistical methods in managing financial risks at an enterprise is given. It is noted that while using statistical methods in financial risk management one should focus on the greatest possible unification of the existing risk level assessment that is revealed in the creation of universal parameters characterizing the size of the probable loss. It is also determined that the index method of enterprise management system is becoming more and more popular, taking a special place among statistical methods due to its simplicity and capacity to solve complex problems. Statistics is identified as an integral part of any enterprise management system, as it determines the dynamics of growth or decline in its development. That is, the systematic use of statistical methods is the key to qualitative and professional management and a quality and professionalism attribute of enterprise management. Conclusion is made that complex use of statistical methods makes it possible to identify and verify the causal links between social phenomena and processes, determine the influence and interrelations of various factors, justify managerial decisions, assess their efficiency, predict possible economic results of various situations occurring in the financial and economic activity of an enterprise.

Strategic Management of Human Resources in Uncertain Environment (p. 121 - 126)
The article is aimed at forming a methodological framework for the strategic management of human resources (HRM) in uncertain environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper considers the main approaches to defining the concept of strategic personnel management and research areas in this field. The key issues that arose during the COVID-19 pandemic affecting the behavior and form of work of most employees are revealed. Critical views on the (conceptual) inability of strategic research on personnel management to take into account new, modern HR practices are analyzed. The study identifies and analyzes three main consequences (problems) for strategic human resource management studies that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, the impact of the work context on the employees’ behavior and actions, tensions between stakeholders (employees, customers and communities together with shareholders), tensions between the strategic and operational roles of HR. In order to identify the main trends in personnel management and assess the priorities and expected challenges for 2022, the authors analyze the results of questioning several companies’ heads of department dealing with personnel, legal and financial issues. Based on the study, the main trends (areas) of human resources management in 2021 are identified, and recommendations are given to form strategic directions of personnel management for the future. Prospects for further research in this area are to develop recommendations on how to change personnel management practices to take into account changes in service delivery, such as increase in service digitization or reduction in physical interaction in service delivery in response to COVID-19, and to determine their influence on the customers’ key results.

Current Trends in the Development of HR-Management at Ukrainian Enterprises (p. 127 - 133)
Current trends in the development of HR-management at Ukrainian enterprises has been studied. It is noted that in today’s economic situation, people are the most valuable resources of any enterprise, because achievement of global development goals depends on their contribution. That is, the competitiveness of products and the enterprise, financial stability and prospects for strategic development depend on the efficiency level of personnel management. It is noted that today Ukrainian companies are forced to look for ways to solve the problem of the outflow of highly qualified personnel abroad and establish a personnel management system based on the introduction of new methods and innovative technologies in personnel management. The initial provisions of personnel management and the enterprise HR-management structure are considered. It is noted that HR-management is always focused on implementing competencies and professional abilities of an employee and achieving the greatest possible contribution of the staff to the performance and development of enterprises. Therefore, to increase the efficiency of personnel management, domestic companies should learn from the global experience in HR-management, as well as development and implementation of HR strategies, which in fact have a very serious impact on the performance indices of an organization, and adopt the best practices. The correspondence pattern between the enterprise strategy and its HR-strategy is given. It is established that rapid changes in the external environment, the introduction of modern technologies, and effective forms of organizing production have changed the attitude of business to a person. The staff has stopped being human resource only, becoming the key factor in the success of enterprise development. This role of a person in the production process necessitates the search for and implementation of innovative approaches to personnel management. It is concluded that the introduction of HR-management, and formation and implementation of HR strategies at domestic enterprises will significantly increase the efficiency of business processes and bring competitive advantages that will create the best conditions for development.

Exploring Sustainable Development Tasks for Enterprises within the European Bioeconomy Model (p. 134 - 140)
The article presents the results of research on the topical issue of achieving the global goal of sustainable development by 2030. So, the urgent problem of substantiating the tasks of the institutional micro-level of enterprises during their transformation in accordance with the sustainable development principles in the bioeconomy model has been solved. The article is aimed at publishing scientific achievements that improve the theoretical foundations of sustainable development by positioning the bioeconomy in relation to sustainable development, comparing the components of bioeconomy and sustainable development goals, and defining the objectives of enterprises in this context. Having analyzed and compared the essence of bioeconomy and bioeconomics, the authors have identified their significant differences in such characteristics as the conceptual basis of the two models, their focus issues, and the factor seen as the main driver of economic growth. The choice of bioeconomy as a concept that is closer to sustainable development is argued. Significant polarity of scientists' views on bioeconomy as a set of processes and phenomena is revealed. Two types of interpreting bioeconomy are substantiated. Scientists in the first group believe that bioeconomy covers all the components of socio-economic relations connected wtih the production, consumption and utilization of biological resources, including renewable energy. The other group criticizes bioeconomy as a concept and call it a political project of economic influence. The article expresses the authors’ view on bioeconomy as a model, a mechanism for achieving certain global goals of sustainable development, which are mainly related to its environmental component. On this basis, the place of the bioeconomy model in the sustainable development system is substantiated, and the tasks of the sustainable development of an enterprise in the bioeconomy model are determined. These tasks can be divided in two groups, namely 1) tasks of the company’s own activity, and 2) tasks of supporting and assisting other enterprises, whose activities meet the global sustainable development goals and ensure their achievement.

Gender Equality as a Well-being Component at the Workplace (p. 141 - 149)
Recent research in the field of business management shows that the problems of the company's employees are closely related to the problems of the company itself. The efficiency of a company, in general and the efficiency of its employees, in particular directly depend on the well-being of staff. On the way to achieving sustainable development goals, the role of gender equality in companies is growing. The article considers gender aspects of the concept of well-being at the workplace as an integrated approach to corporate management, focused on achieving sustainable development goals. The article is aimed at substantiating gender equality as the basis for the well-being of the company's employees. To fulfil this task, direct connection between the sustainable development of a company and the well-being of its employees was identified. Sustainable development is understood as economic growth that does not harm the environment and contributes to the resolution of social problems, finding a balance between economic, environmental and social development. The sustainable development of a company is based on the principle of responsible business conduct and innovative potential, thus opening up new business opportunities for economic growth, as well as environmental and social well-being. Digital and non-digital components of staff well-being are singled out. Non-digital components of well-being are mental well-being, physical well-being, social well-being, and financial well-being. Facing current digital transformation, we propose to supplement this list with the digital well-being of staff. It is substantiated that gender equality is one of the elements of the staff well-being programs. The key gender issues in labour relations are analyzed. These issues are clearly expressed in access to work, professional growth and promotion, and most of all in the representation of women at different levels of management. Having compared the leadership style of women and men and their behaviour in a company, the authors come to conclusion that the staff efficiency is determined by a set of professional knowledge and skills, not gender. The principles of achieving gender equality are systematized and characterized within the concept of well-being at the workplace, and the problems of implementing such an approach are identified.

Theoretic Prerequisites for Creating Organizational and Economic Support for Business Entities to Reshape Their Activities (p. 76 - 82)
The main theoretic approaches to defining the concept of «reshaping a business entity» are considered. The study of modern tools and approaches to reforming socio-economic systems (reengineering, restructuring, modernization, optimization, etc.) has shown their limitation and concentration on certain components of their activities or management systems. A theoretical and morphological study of related definitions that characterize the transformation and reform of economic entities is carried out, their interrelation and interdependence are determined. The theoretical and methodological basis and stages of reshaping a business entity are substantiated, taking into account the peculiarities of its technological network structure, consumer value chains, management system, financial flows and key competencies within its activity. The key components of organizational and economic support for reshaping the activity of a business entity in terms of profile determination are identified, namely: management, main and auxillary activities, diagnosis and evaluation, the formation of the means and tools used for reshaping. Given the key parameter of business entities, i.e. the return on capital brought in by investors, it is proved necessary to use the indicator of economic value added as a target criterion for assessing the functioning and development of such entities and, consequently, necessary to reshape its activity. In addition, this approach allows predicting the consequences of introducing tools of reshaping, thus making it possible to assess its feasibility and set up the most effective organizational and economic measures.

Information Technology as a Factor Improving the Functioning of Enterprises (p. 93 - 98)
The ways to improve the activities of enterprises using information technology are analyzed. It is established that for all enterprises, regardless of the goals they pursue and the strategies they implement, developed information systems and information technology in corporate governance are the key success factor that ensures their successful functioning. Information systems and information technology penetrate all spheres of enterprise activity. It is noted that to effectively ensure the operation of enterprises information systems are used, the Internet among them, which allows for carrying out effective management on-line. It is emphasized that the main effective ways of using information technology are the following: automation of document flow in e-office; creation of telecommunication networks and systems; development of information systems, databases, and knowledge in finance, economy, management, and marketing; and development of modern management decision support systems. The main changes in business occurring under the influence of information technology are the following: electronic transactions made directly between the parties without turning to intermediaries; customer service as a defining function in all business areas; necessity to transfer paper-based internal business processes to digital management. With information systems, any organization can change and become more dynamic by improving the three main components of any activity, namely relations with customers, partners, and employees. The rapid development of information technology has made modern business extremely dynamic. Businesses keeping up with the times gain a clear competitive advantage. The most important task of governance is to establish and maintain dynamic interaction of an enterprise with the environment in order to provide the former with benefits in current conditions. It is proved that information technology should be considered one of the factors improving the functioning of enterprises, because nowadays the accuracy and promptness of management decisions become vital, as all decisions are made based on information, and information technology is a highly efficient tool for processing information flows.

Management of Information Provision of Tourism and Hotel Business Enterprises (p. 100 - 107)
The article examines the problems of information provision of tourism and hotel enterprises. Despite a sufficiently large number of studies in this area, the problems of information provision of tourism industry enterprises seem hardly to have been elaborated appropriately, therefore the study of this issue appears relevant. The purpose of the article is to study the existing state of information provision of enterprises of tourism and hotel business and to develop directions for its improvement. Based on the analysis and generalization of approaches to the definition of information provision (IP), its essence, basic principles and composition are formulated. It is proved that in the difficult present conditions, economic information is of particular importance, that’s why the creation of an economic information system is a condition and factor of effective work and achievement of maximum profitability. The stages of creating an economic information system for a travel industry enterprise are determined. The indicators that can form the information base of the enterprise are proposed, which are presented as the most efficient and of particular importance instrument for monitoring the economic activity of the enterprise of tourism and hotel business. The tasks of the information activity of the travel industry enterprise are defined, which consists in obtaining, systematizing and using the most reliable, accurate information about the state of the external and internal environment of the enterprise. The conception of information management of the travel industry enterprise is developed, which involves the management of external and internal information, information and analytical base, and the introduction of information principles in the process of improving the enterprise’s activities. As a result of the carried out study, it is determined that, despite of provision if the activities of the travel industry enterprise with complete, reliable, operational information, the management of information provision of the enterprise is impossible without the introduction of an automation and computerization instrumentarium.

Methodology of Assessing the Innovative Potential of Industrial Enterprises in the Digital Economy (p. 112 - 120)
The article carries out an analytical review of scientific publications of domestic and foreign scientists on the research of the methodology of assessing innovation potential, which showed that it is insufficiently developed, in particular, at the level of an industrial enterprise in the conditions of the digital economy. It has been proven that in the scientific works of both foreign and domestic economists, the task of assessing the innovative potential of an industrial enterprise boils down to the use of one of two possible assessment methods: detailed or diagnostic. The analytical review of available methods conducted in the article showed that the considered methods have certain advantages and disadvantages. The most complete, deep and objective assessment of the innovative potential of a system is possible only with the correct selection of a set of indicators that allow characterizing the innovative potential according to various features and in terms of its constituent components. Thus, the author's methodology of assessing the innovative potential of an industrial enterprise, taking into account the digitalization of the economy, is proposed. As part of the methodology, a system of indicators for analysis was developed, which is subdivided into four projections: production and technological resources, financial and management resources, factors of innovative activity, and indicators of information security. The proposed methodology includes the calculation of generalized indices of the innovative potential of each projection, the integral indicator of the innovative potential of the enterprise for positioning the enterprise according to the level of innovative activity. Such a set of indicators meets the requirements of universality and ease of use, but at the same time provides objective and complete information about the state of the innovative potential of an industrial enterprise, in particular in the context of digitalization.

The Means of Managing the Logistics Component of the Economic Security of Enterprise (p. 121 - 127)
The conceptual provisions and relevance of the issues of separation, along with the management of the logistics component of the economic security of enterprises are substantiated. It is shown that in a highly competitive environment, when in order to ensure the survival of enterprises, it is necessary to constantly promote products to the market, business success largely depends on the ability of the enterprise to effectively manage relations with suppliers in a system of simultaneous minimization of risks and threats to the logistics security of enterprises. In turn, the dependence of enterprises on suppliers of raw and other materials, subcontractors and partners requires the skills to quickly find reliable suppliers (able to meet the needs of production) and establish effective working relationships with them. A comparative characterization of the components of supplier management according to two directions has been developed: (1) long-term relationships; (2) strategic partnerships. The scheme of strategic management instruments in the context of managing the strategic partnership of an enterprise with suppliers in the system of strengthening the logistics component of its economic security is generalized. Four types of relationships with suppliers are allocated that an enterprise must adhere to in order to ensure the logistic component of its economic security in a strategic vertical type interaction (with suppliers and consumers). The economic risks within the logistics component of the enterprise in the supply system are summarized. It is stated that in the conditions of war and critical instability, logistics becomes one of the key components of ensuring the economic security of enterprises. Its formation requires the introduction at enterprises of a mechanism for guaranteeing the logistics component of security, aimed at forming its proper level in the course of financial-economic activities both in the current period and in the future. It is proved that the strengthening of the logistics security of enterprises will contribute to the achievement of a number of parameters of technical-technological development, namely the creation of new organizational and production structures, the use of leasing, active participation in promotional and communication activities, the introduction of the best practices and technologies of logistics.

The Directions to Improve the Efficiency of Service Quality Management of the Railway Transport Enterprises of Ukraine (p. 148 - 155)
The article identifies directions to improve the efficiency of quality management of services of the railway transport enterprises. It is noted that today the transport sector of Ukraine is going through extremely hard times, caused both by the strengthening of internal contradictions in the development of entities of this sphere and the influence of external negative factors associated with economic and political instability in the country and in the world. In turn, the prospects for the development of railway transport require addressing issues related to the integration of the railway industry of Ukraine into the European transport system and improving the quality of services provided by the associated enterprises. It is determined that the organization of work on quality management at railway transport enterprises involves the development of quality management systems and the adoption of the necessary measures to ensure their effective functioning. In this direction, it is considered necessary to establish and implement the following procedures: development; approval; maintaining and providing all documents and data that belong to the system. It is further noted that the dynamics of profits of railway transport enterprises largely depend not only on the enterprise’s technical and technological capabilities, but also on socioeconomic factors, that is, on the needs and ability of the population to use high-quality transport services. There are five main disagreements and problems that are the causes of consumer dissatisfaction with the services of railway transport enterprises. It is found out that the presence of the above disagreements and problems significantly affects the level of quality management of services of railway transport enterprises. Elimination of discrepancies between expectations and perception of the quality of service provision by consumers is possible only if there is a clear awareness of the problems characteristic of this process at the present stage of integration of the railway industry of Ukraine into the European transport system. It is concluded that it is necessary to improve the efficiency of quality management of services of railway transport enterprises based on the use of modern approaches to careful studying the consumer requests (population demand for transport services) and further improve the consumer qualities of transport services towards achievement of profit, increasing the social significance of railway transportation, and gaining competitive advantages in the future.

The Strategies for Entering International Markets by Levels of Management (p. 156 - 162)
Globalization trends of today open and expand the trade-economic interconnections of enterprises over the world. Ukrainian business nowadays owns a small share of the global market. This is primarily due to uncertainty before the unknown market, the requirements of its consumers, foreign legislation, the conditions of certification and standardization, etc. The processes of entering international markets are caused by a number of reasons, among which the most common are: an increase in the volume of sales of goods or the provision of services, an increase in profitability, long-term profitability, an increase in innovation potential, an increase in experience, competition, the presence of government incentives. Generalization of approaches to the process of entering international markets allowed to formulate its planning stages: diagnostics of the enterprise, choice of strategy, choice of international market, search for partners, opening local representative offices, and creating a single information base of the enterprise. These stages are not overloaded with analytical research and calculations and are as close as possible to the practical activities of the enterprise. The article draws attention to the matter that effective functioning in international markets involves scaling up all the processes of the enterprise, and not conducting one-time export-import operations. Therefore, the systemacity of the entry of an enterprise into the international market involves the conduct of strategic analysis and the formation of a strategic plan. Properly planned activities and the chosen strategy of entering or expanding into international markets are the guarantor of mastering new segments and increasing profitability. On the basis of this, the types of strategies for entering international markets by levels of management are systematized, allowing to correctly coordinate and establish the relationship between them and implement the defined strategic goals of the enterprise.

The Theoretical and Methodological Aspects of Management of Strategic Development of Industrial Enterprises of Ukraine (p. 163 - 170)
The article generalizes the theoretical and methodological aspects of managing the strategic development of industrial enterprises in Ukraine. It is specified that the industry of Ukraine has always been and remains a driver of the national economy, both economically and socially. In this regard, today the issues of the need to form modern development strategies that can provide domestic enterprises with an appropriate level of competitiveness and image acquisition in the world market appear to be very acute. From this point of view, the generalization of theoretical aspects of managing the strategic development of industrial enterprises in Ukraine is relevant and appropriate, given the difficult macroeconomic conditions and the need to adapt economic entities to martial law. The characterization of basic strategies is generalized. The constituents of the strategy for managing the development of an industrial enterprise are defined. It is noted that the management of strategic development of industrial enterprises is a complex process that requires a sufficiently high level of management and the ability to make effective managerial decisions. It is found that it is impossible to imagine the process of managing the strategic development of an industrial enterprise without the presence of strategic potential, which provides the most effective ways to use resources, economic reserves and capabilities of an economic entity in order to maximize the effective implementation of its strategy. A number of indicators of local potentials of an industrial enterprise is presented. It is noted that an effective strategy for the development of an industrial enterprise lays down the prospects for economic growth and determines its positioning in the market. It is concluded that one of the important conditions for efficient management of strategic development of industrial enterprises in Ukraine today is the use of scientifically based approaches to strategic management along with practical experience in conducting business. The presence and development of the strategic potential of industrial enterprises will allow in the future to use the most effective ways and methods of using all available resources in order to make a profit and achieve strategic goals.

Forming a Strategy for Management of Industrial Enterprises Based on Complex Value (p. 171 - 176)
The purpose of the article is to structure the strategic, tactical and operational levels of management of industrial enterprises, as well as the choice of the optimal strategy. The carried out study helped to identify that the key requirement for any system is the presence of a link between the strategic and operational management of an enterprise. Precisely the connection between strategic and operational management is one of the most difficult problems that industrial enterprises need to solve, because many of them have a gap between strategic and operational management. The causes of such problems may be different, but the main one is the lack of an effective system for bringing the enterprise management strategy to employees and the undeveloped process of linking strategy and operational management. New forms of management, based on the use of an integral criterion for the formation of the complex value of an enterprise to assess the efficiency of managerial decisions, ensure the development and implementation of a single management strategy of the enterprise, which covers the following interrelated components: financial, marketing, production, investment, and personnel. This approach provides «total» management of the enterprise as a single object, while managerial decisions are made taking into account all significant aspects of the internal and external spheres of the enterprise's activity. Our proposed strategy for managing an industrial enterprise on the basis of complex value allows us to identify for each subsystem its technological, organizational and information inputs and outputs, link them in a single system of organizational and economic indicators and develop uniform requirements for making managerial decisions based on the complex value of the enterprise. The strategy involves using approaches to solving problems of multicriterial optimization, aimed at effective coordination of options for choosing a model for the formation of the complex value of the enterprise in certain areas of the enterprise's activities and finding the optimal solution for the enterprise in general.

Business Ideology as a Reflection Reaction to Socioeconomic Realities in Conditions of Constructive Destabilization (p. 177 - 185)
The aim of the study is to generalize the theoretical and applied aspects of the formation of an ideological space of a unified nature as a reflexive reaction of business to socioeconomic realities in conditions of constructive destabilization. Based on the carried out analysis of statistical data, it is proved that a fundamentally new direction comes into being for domestic economic science, i. e., studies of business behavior for the faster recovery of the country’s economy, which requires the formalization of adequate instruments of a modern manager. Analyzing, systematizing and generalizing the scientific works of many scholars, the views of researchers on the definition of the concept of «ideology» were systematized, the principles of business ideology were allocated, the goal, types, signs, functions, principles, methods of ideological influence within the framework of building the ideology of management were defined. The presented publication forms theoretical and applied aspects of the ideological space of a unified nature as a reflexive reaction of business to socioeconomic realities. The issue of reflection as a system of reactions to socioeconomic realities is examined. The article considers the forms of reflection, the objective etiology of the formation of spheres of reflection through the prism of multidisciplinary connections. It is proved that the forms of reflection as a system of business reaction to socioeconomic realities in conditions of constructive destabilization have a tactical and strategic result. For a clear understanding and detailed analysis of the behavior of the problem under study, a block diagram of causal relationships is built. It is proved that reflection is an instrument for influencing the development of emotional intelligence, which explains the nature of the analytical choice of an alternative solution to the subject of economic relations and determines the possibilities of consolidated external information influence on this choice. Of practical importance is the universal model of the cognitive map of the behavioral model of business structures, which allows to explain the multi-vector format of development in rational, limited rational and irrational dimensions, combining the features of the model of constructive development of the destabilizing format and crisis phenomena.

The Enterprise Risk Management Systems Based on Foresight Innovation Technologies in Conditions of Socioeconomic Instability (p. 186 - 193)
The purpose of the article is to form a risk management system for enterprises based on foresight and innovative technologies in conditions of socioeconomic instability. The article stipulates that certain external and internal obstacles that occur on the territory of Ukraine have a negative impact on the development of the national economy, which causes an economic crisis. One of the main conditions for the economy to emerge from the long financial and economic crisis is, first of all, the solution of such a strategic problem as the efficiency of investing in the innovative projects. Its solution will allow industrial enterprises to quickly respond to external and internal changes that constantly arise, in particular, in accordance with the needs of the market to timely update the range of products, the park of technological devices. In turn, the fastest possible satisfaction of market needs will allow enterprises to achieve strategic goals that will eventually solve a number of important socioeconomic tasks of a national scale, namely: strengthening the competitiveness of the country's economy, creating additional jobs, etc. However, one of the significant obstacles in solving the problem of the efficiency of investments in innovative projects and the increase in the number of innovative enterprises is the increased riskiness in conditions of socioeconomic instability.

The Conception for the Formation of an Institutional Environment for Energy Security Management (p. 194 - 200)
The purpose of the article is to develop a conception for the formation of an institutional environment for energy security management, taking into account factors of external and internal influence. According to the results of the carried out study, it can be said that the transformation of the State system and the economic system, accompanied by centrifugal tendencies in the spheres of institutional management and the economy of the fuel and energy complex, has led to the emergence of a number of general, interrelated tendencies, among which are: changing the role of defining and expanding the conceptual mechanisms of market interaction between business entities; decentralization of service management in general, transfer of powers to the regional level; liberalization of prices for goods and services; change in qualitative and quantitative parameters of the functioning of enterprises of the fuel and energy complex. It is determined that along with the development of the enterprise, there is an objective need to eliminate the state of uncertainty and establish control over risks, and with the achievement of maturity, the business entity is «included» in the process of forming a conceptual institutional environment. The activities of economic entities in the modern economy cannot be analyzed from the point of view of neoclassical theory, since its methodological and categorical basis is insufficient for adequate analysis and explanation of economic phenomena in dynamics, for this it is necessary to form an institutional approach. It is determined that the systematization of institutions as elements of the institutional environment of economic entities of the fuel and energy complex allowed to identify their conceptual multilateral and multi-level nature.

Management of Reject Reduction at an Industrial Enterprise: The Theoretical and Practical Aspects (p. 111 - 129)
The competitiveness of enterprises depends not only on the efficient use of economic resources, promotion of the product brand, but also on meeting the needs of consumers for quality products. Therefore, economic entities should pay attention to the production of goods without deviations from standards and norms and without rejects, which will allow them to win in the market competition. This justifies the relevance of the subject matter of the article and its timeliness. The purpose of the article is to generalize the theoretical concepts of the product quality management process and to develop recommendations on the example of an industrial enterprise of the flow type of production to reduce product defects. The object is the process of managing product quality and reducing rejects. The article’s subject is the theoretical provisions, methods, methodological and practical recommendations for managing the quality of products of industrial enterprises aimed at reducing the percentage of defective products. The main methods used in the article are general scientific methods of cognition: analysis and synthesis, theoretical generalization, monographic, structural-logical and system analyses, special research methods: statistical analysis, expert survey, Pareto rule, Ishikawa method, and graphical method. The main results presented in the article are as follows. Based on the generalization of scientific literature, the author proposes a definition of the concept of quality. Quality should be understood as ensuring the quality of each type of economic resource, which allows for a high-quality course of business processes and production of goods which satisfy the needs of consumers and are provided with their effective demand. In other words, products that are defective in terms of their technical or quality characteristics do not meet their standard and are unable to provide their intended functions. Products can be recognized as defective at any stage of production and operations of the production cycle. On the example of the industrial enterprise under study, the article considers the statistics of nonconformity and defective products in the most important production unit, the work of which is characterized by a significant percentage of rejects, according to operational and output control. Using the Pareto rule, the main causes of rejects are identified and Ishikawa diagrams are constructed for the most significant two causes. Further, in accordance with the Ishikawa diagrams, measures to prevent nonconformities and defects in products are proposed for two main reasons and five sections: equipment; control system; staff; raw materials; and working conditions. A unified standardized sequence for determining the causes of deviations and rejects in 16 stages has been developed. The use of training methods for staff of an industrial enterprise to improve product quality and reduce rejects is proposed. Article is written in Ukrainian

Taking into account the specifics of production-economic activity of enterprises of the pharmaceutical industry, the main threats to economic security have been identified. On the example of pharmaceutical enterprises, an integral indicator of the level of economic security is computed, taking into account the probability of occurrence of certain threats. A close correlation between the level of economic security of pharmaceutical enterprises and profitability of enterprise activity is identified. It is concluded that the proposed instruments can be applied to enterprises of other sectors of economy, taking into account the specifics of their production activities. It is noted that different degrees of probability and nature of each threat (managed and unmanageable) require implementation of a set of measures to prevent/mitigate the consequences of each threat, which requires additional financial resources, but these costs are rather appropriate investments in stable future development of enterprise. A system of measures for economic security of enterprises in the pharmaceutical industry has been proposed, which provides for a set of interrelated actions to prevent and/or mitigate the consequences of threats in modern socioeconomic and political realities, will solve the issue of creating favorable conditions for the functioning and development of the pharmaceutical industry of Ukraine.

Cluster Structures as an Organizational Basis for Strategic Reorganization of Enterprises (p. 156 - 167)
The article is concerned with studying topical issues of functioning of cluster structures in Ukraine, which are an important instrument for ensuring sustainable economic development of the country. The research is aimed at improving the methodological support of substantiation of the feasibility of forming and evaluating the efficiency of the results of functioning of cluster structures. The necessity of expanding the existing classification of cluster structures is substantiated and it is proposed to supplement the list of types of cluster structures with the following types in accordance with the purpose of functioning: discretionary, sales, service, income, profitable, costs, capital investment, venture, and investment. It is proposed to link individual indicators of efficiency of cluster activity with its type, defined in accordance with the purpose of functioning. For each type of cluster structures, it is advisable to use a separate set of indicators in accordance with their purpose and the developed list of types. For the operation of the discretionary cluster, it is necessary to calculate the coefficients of the level of performance of a certain list of works and compliance with the estimate of operating costs by elements. The basis for evaluating the performance of the «costs» cluster should be based on such indicators as the coefficient of compliance with the estimate of operating costs by elements, the total coefficient of operating costs for production and the cost efficiency ratio. The activities of the «sales» cluster should be assessed by indicators of the individual coefficient of sales volume, the coefficient of compliance with the standard of finished product balances in the warehouse, and the coefficient of transaction costs. For the cluster structures of service, it is necessary to determine the coefficients of compliance with the estimates of operating costs, services provided outside the enterprise, and the quality of service of its structural units. The results of the functioning of the income cluster structures are expressed in the sale of products of the i-th type, sales of products with the help of intermediaries, the coefficient of potential losses. For the profitable cluster structures, it is necessary to use such criteria as product profitability, total profitability of sales, compliance with operating cost estimates, profit growth rate. For the capital investment cluster structures, it is proposed to calculate the following criteria: coefficients of compliance with the estimate of operating costs, profitability of capital investments and their payback period for each investment project. For the venture cluster structures, it is advisable to calculate the level of risk, and for investment ones – indicators of economic efficiency of investment projects. The proposed types of cluster structures and the system of criterial indicators for evaluating their activities allow considering each cluster as an independent business entity that functions independently in accordance with its purpose, according to which individual strategies are developed, ensuring adaptability to changes in the external environment and creating real opportunities for self-development.

The Theoretical and Practical Aspects of the Formation of the Image of Enterprise (p. 168 - 175)
The domestic economy today is experiencing difficult times. Such phenomena as the pandemic, martial law, had a very negative impact on the efficiency of Ukrainian enterprises. Domestic companies are forced to adapt to modern realities and find ways to «survive». Doing business is impossible without constant adaptation to changes in market conditions. And the success of any enterprise depends on many factors, primarily on the existing or formed image of the enterprise. The article is aimed at substantiating the need to create a positive image of enterprise to increase its competitiveness. The article considers the concept of «image of enterprise». The scientific works of domestic and foreign scholars-economists are analyzed. The current state of the problem of forming the image of enterprise in crisis conditions is disclosed. It is shown how the image of enterprise affects the competitiveness of enterprise on the example of a translation agency. It is determined that a positive image greatly affects the competitiveness of enterprise, so insufficient attention to its formation and management significantly reduces the possibilities of enterprise functioning. A positive image will increase attention to the individuality and uniqueness of a product or service, minimize possible negative changes in pricing processes, and contribute to the realization of the competitiveness of the enterprise. The article examines the essence of image as a factor of effective functioning of enterprise. The essence of the concept of «image» is also studied, the contemporary definitions found in the scientific sources are analyzed. A definition of the concept of «image of enterprise» is proposed. The importance of forming an image for conducting successful activity of enterprise is substantiated. The expediency of analyzing the external conditions of enterprise activity in the process of formation and improvement of its image is determined and substantiated. It was found that when choosing an enterprise, the consumer is guided by its image, because in order to make a purchase decision, understanding that an enterprise has a positive image allows to get a clear understanding of the high quality of goods or services and other competitive advantages. It is reasoned that improving the image of an enterprise allows increasing the efficiency of advertising and various measures to promote a product or service, facilitating the process of introducing new goods or services to the market, and increasing the competitiveness of an enterprise.

Features of the Formation of Adaptive Startup Management Systems in an Instable Environment (p. 168 - 173)
Signs of global instability are now inherent in the economic system of any country over the world, and Ukraine is no exception, where, as a result of the pandemic and, in succession, the war, there was a decrease in incomes of the population, industrial output and sales of services, capital and foreign direct investment. According to the State Statistics Service, expectations of industrial enterprises regarding the prospects for the development of their business activity by type of economic activity and by major industrial groups decreased in 2020–2022 at enterprises of all types of economic activity compared to 2019, which, combined with the catastrophic destruction of infrastructure and forced migration of the population, is a clear negative trend that characterizes the current business climate in Ukraine. The aim of the article is to substantiate the theoretical aspects of the formation of components of adaptive systems for management of startups in Ukraine in the context of external instability. It is determined that in the modern scientific literature the approach to the interpretation of adaptation as a process that ensures the adaptability of enterprise to any changes or conditions prevails; changing functions, structure, relationships, parameters, etc. for more effective adaptation to the influence of factors of external and internal instability. Building adaptive enterprise management systems also involves compliance with certain principles, in particular: the principle of differentiation; dual control and feedback. Important characteristics of the adaptive stratum management system are its flexibility and sensuality, which are aimed at identifying both positive and negative influences of both the external and the internal environment. The system should anticipate the main problem points at the stage of development and implementation of a startup, as well as ensure adaptation to current socioeconomic requirements. It is proved that the adaptive system of management of startups in an unstable environment implements the functions of monitoring the external and internal environment of enterprise, various aspects of its functioning and, on this basis, chooses the most effective algorithm for adapting to the unstable conditions of development.

Process Approach in the Development of Convergence of Investment Processes at the Enterprise in the Context of Digitalization (p. 112 - 118)
The article considers the essence and components of convergence of both the subjects of creation and the subjects of consumption of innovative values. It is proved that convergent investment processes mean not only technological unification, but also integration of different sectors, resulting in creation of conditions for integrated development and use of synergy. It is proposed to consider the convergent components through the convergent field that represents a dynamic and interacting environment in which various factors are combined to achieve common goals and create new opportunities. This made it possible to identify them and substantiate the essential and functional load in the implementation of innovative processes at the enterprise in the context of digitalization. It is determined that the organization of convergent investments involves the formation of cross-functional teams that cooperate to optimize resources and achieve the maximum value of the enterprise, based on the process approach. An important part of the functional structure is the definition of possible competence interaction in the implementation of technological innovations that allow combining multi-level processes and approaches in the intellectualization of labor. The structuring of the convergence of interacting elements in the implementation of innovations in a dynamic business environment is carried out on the basis of coherence and effective solution of problems within the framework of convergent investment processes, which contributes to the creation of innovative solutions and ensures the competitive advantages of the enterprise in a dynamic business environment.

Strategy for Managing the Transparency of Enterprise Development in the Context of Convergence of Investment Processes (p. 119 - 124)
It is determined that the instability of the economic and financial environment, fierce competition, increasing consumer requirements for the products (goods and services) of industrial enterprises, reduction of the life cycle of goods to a dominant degree burden the process of strategic management of transparency of enterprise development in the context of convergence of investment processes, and development prospects are becoming less and less predictable. Decision-making by industrial enterprises on the implementation of the strategy for managing the transparency of enterprise development in the context of convergence of investment processes is a complex problem faced by the main management system. This is due to the preservation of outdated principles and methods of strategic management in the modern business environment, the caution of management agencies and/or the inability to accept new forms of strategic management (the human factor), etc. Resolution of these and other contradictions is possible only under the condition of a properly formed effective strategy for managing the transparency of enterprise development in the context of convergence of investment processes. When building a management strategy, a system of fuzzy derivation is used, consisting of several stages, the implementation of which is carried out using its main provisions. The input data for the strategy of managing the transparency of enterprise development in the context of convergence of investment processes are the input variables, which are measured in a certain way. These variables correspond to the real variables of the strategic management process. The information generated at the output of the system corresponds to the initial coherence, which is the leading variable of the control process. Systems of covariance functions in the formation of a strategy for managing the transparency of enterprise development in the context of convergence of investment processes are designed to convert the values of the input variables of the control process into the output co-spectral variables using phase generation with the variant identification of the parameters of the digital technology of blitz-scaling in the construction of strategic architectonics to achieve transparency in the development of industrial enterprises.

Assessing the Implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals and Their Impact on the Value of Enterprises in Food Industry (p. 125 - 135)
The article presents the sequence and results of assessing the implementation of the conception of sustainable development in the practice of enterprises in the context of their value formation. A scientific and methodological approach to assessing the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals has been proposed, which provides for the calculation of an integral indicator of the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals in the activities of enterprises, formed taking into account the indicators of organizational support, systematic implementation and complexity of the results of socially responsible programs and projects. A scientific and methodological approach to determining the value of an enterprise, on the basis of an assessment of the enterprise’s economic and non-economic components using the method of fuzzy sets, is substantiated. The study was carried out on the basis of data from companies operating in the field of food production. It is shown that enterprises associate long-term development with the introduction of the principles of social responsibility and sustainable development into practice. It is determined that the socially responsible projects of the studied enterprises are mainly related to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals in the field of ecology and responsible consumption. It is shown that global companies carry out more systematic and comprehensive activities to implement the principles of sustainable development, compared to companies operating at the national level, thereby providing higher value. An assessment of both the economic and non-economic values of the studied enterprises has been carried out. To determine the dependency between the level of implementation of sustainable development goals and the characteristics of the value of enterprises, the method of correlation analysis was used. In the course of the correlation analysis, the coefficient of implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals in the practice of activity was considered as a factor feature, and the coefficients of implementation of both the non-economic and economic values of enterprise were considered as a result. It is noted that the integration of the principles of sustainable development into the practice of activities ensures the growth of the value of enterprise. It is indicated that enterprises that systematically implement socially responsible practices have higher value indicators. Article is written in English

Consumer Behavior in Conditions of Crisis and Uncertainty: A Microeconomic Analysis (p. 44 - 51)
The aim of the article is to study the features of consumer behavior in conditions of crisis and uncertainty. The article analyzes the research on the rationality of consumer choice. The main approaches to assessing utility and consumer behavior have been allocated. Currently, half of ordinary citizens prioritize buying foods; the next category in terms of specific gravity is medicines; in third place – clothes and shoes; fourth place – hygiene and personal care products. It is found that the last positions are occupied by purchases related to things for the home, furniture and household appliances, because they are designed to satisfy secondary needs, therefore the demand for them at this time is very low. Particular attention is paid to the issue of consumer income and consumer choice in conditions of limited income. According to the results, the following trend can be observed: 40% of respondents are loyal to those labels and brands, same as the general set of products they would buy, and the reduction in income led to a reduction in quantitative indicators; in second place in terms of the number of responses is the category of people who switched to cheaper goods or substitute goods; only 7% said they did not change the level of their spending in any way (although in 2021 this figure was twice as much). Taking into account the microeconomic approach, the main factors of consumer choice have been identified. Among the most important factors, special attention is paid to: support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine; the brand’s activities and interaction with russia; volunteering; clear political position and brand language. If we study the results of the survey on the factors of brand choice by age categories, there is a clear tendency that the youngest group of respondents, namely people aged 18-24, are the most sensitive to the above factors. It is determined that young people are the most meticulous about brand policy and methods of conducting their activities, and it is especially important for them that the values of the brand and their behavior correspond to the current situation in which all Ukrainian citizens find themselves. A scheme of behavior of end users is presented. The influence of military aggression on the rational behavior of consumers is substantiated. Article is written in Ukrainian

Features of SMART-Systems: The Need and Feasibility of Their Use in Modeling the Business Processes of an Enterprise (p. 52 - 57)
Taking into account the key factors of the development of society, the expediency of using certain information technologies for the effective competitive development of enterprises is emphasized. The need for the use of appropriate information technologies is confirmed by the advantages of their implementation. In the course of the study, it is disclosed that the basis of the modern information society is certain SMART-systems, and the driver of competitive development of enterprise is the re-engineering of its business processes, which determined the purpose of the study. To achieve the goal of defining and clarifying the features of SMART-systems to ensure the effective implementation of business processes of the enterprise, the methods of analysis, synthesis, abstraction, comparison, idealization, analogy, and concretization were used. The content of the concept of «SMART-systems» is characterized, the features of the application are described. The expediency and necessity of dividing SMART-systems into certain types depending on their vector-level application have been determined. The features of SMART-systems of each of the selected groups are outlined. The expediency of dividing SMART-systems into the proposed groups is substantiated by the possibility of their more operative implementation, faster adaptation, wider range of application and the ability to combine them as constituent elements of the hierarchical structure of an integral system. The hierarchical interaction of information systems of different groups will contribute to the formation of a comprehensive SMART-system for ensuring the effective competitive development of an individual enterprise with its component technologies, software products, etc., due to the possibility of combining the advantages of some systems, leveling the difficulties of implementing others. It is substantiated that the integrity of the information and digital support of the enterprise’s activities will contribute to the choice of more effective options for the interaction of individual business processes, their more efficient implementation and more flexible editing depending on changes in the conditions for the functioning of enterprises, as well as focusing more attention on key business processes at a particular point in time.

Synergy of Managerial Effects in the Aspect of Ensuring the Optimal Level of Transparency in the Development of Industrial Enterprises on the Basis of Testing the Presence of ? Convergence (p. 58 - 63)
It is determined that the implementation of a qualitative analysis of the formation of strategic guidelines for the convergence of investment processes makes it possible to ensure the appropriate strategically relevant level of financial and economic sustainability of industrial enterprises and investment and innovation development; target strategic level of profitability; creation of an information-adaptive platform for the flexibility of the system for management of the investment processes. The dominant strategic directions for achieving the conditions for convergence of investment processes of industrial enterprises are the timely identification of synergy of managerial effects of development transparency on the basis of testing the presence of ? convergence. At this, a strategically important factor of synergistic influence is both external one, which is aimed at checking the compliance of transparent economic results of enterprises and a certain ? level of convergence of investment processes with the current adaptive-established norms, and the internal factor, the purpose of which is to ensure the implementation of transparent decisions, as well as to prevent undesirable consequences when changing the strategic and economic norms of the level of transparency of development. It is concluded that the economic identification of structuring the synergetic relationship of managerial effects and ? convergence covers their strategic dominants, which form the integrity of the transparency of development, their relations with other dominants of convergent influences and the external environment. Synergy of managerial effects and testing of ? convergence are taken into account as factors that can increase the level of competitiveness, the level of price/quality ratio and the level of cost/quality (the former is determined by consumers, we are talking about the price they are willing to pay and the quality they trust, the latter is production), and the level of efficiency of the process organization, which defines them as the highest priority criteria for transparency in the development of enterprises in terms of vector and rank orientation. Thus, in order to increase the level of variability of the impact of the synergy of managerial effects of transparency in the development of industrial enterprises on the level of ? convergence, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the industry and the real conditions of industrial enterprises, to develop and implement a strategically relevant set of measures, among which the strategically dominant directions are, as a matter of course, increasing the level of profitability in the context of convergence of investment processes.

The Theoretical Basis of Managing the Economic Efficiency of the Enterprise on the Principles of Innovative Development (p. 64 - 69)
The article provides characterizations of managerial processes that ensure the economic efficiency of enterprise activity on the basis of innovative development. The importance of establishing a management system, which involves the use of progressive approaches based on modern technologies and innovative methods, is determined. It is concluded that enterprises, which pay little attention to the modernization of the management system, are unable to increase the level of economic efficiency and the pace of innovative development, and their functioning is mostly associated with the prevention of unprofitability. The system of elements of management of ensuring the economic efficiency of the enterprise on the basis of innovative development is allocated: subjects of the «upper» (owners and top management, heads of structural subdivisions) and the «lower» levels (managers of foreign economic, planning and economic, production and technological, marketing and other departments), objects (attraction and implementation of innovations and technologies, modernization of business and production and technological processes, dissemination of the ideology of business development on the basis of intellectualization, digitalization, innovation activity), functions (analysis, planning, organization, stimulation, control, regulation, monitoring, optimization, coordination), tasks (formation of investment attractiveness, ensuring competitiveness, improving liquidity, formation of economically necessary amount of resources, growth of market value, strengthening of personnel participation in profits), methods (regulatory and legal, organizational and economic, socio-psychological, complex, value-oriented), principles (systematic, comprehensive, consistent, focus on the process approach, dynamism, flexibility and adaptability, variability).

Diagnostics of Prospects for the Development of Enterprises for the Solid Waste Processing (p. 70 - 76)
The article diagnoses the prospects for the development of enterprises for the processing of solid household waste (SHW). It is specified that improving the quality of services provided by enterprises and the transition to European standards in the field of removal, utilization and processing of solid waste is a top priority, as Ukraine seeks to become a member of the EU in the future. It is noted that recycling is an important component of sustainable development and contributes to the creation of a more efficient and environmentally conscious economy for enterprises and the country. The most common types of solid waste recycling are presented, each of which is aimed at transforming a specific type of waste. The paper analyzes successful business cases that have already been implemented as a result of recycled solid waste and introduced into practice in other countries of the world. It is noted that some Ukrainian enterprises in collaboration with foreign partners have actively begun to implement similar cases. It is noted that a promising direction is the energy sector, which is currently also related to the processing of solid waste. It is noted that, even taking into account the active hostilities taking place on the territory of Ukraine, there are enterprises, organizations and institutions that are already actively working or just starting their business activities in the field of SHW processing. It is concluded that it is an important aspect, in particular, firstly, how the growing awareness of society about the problems of environmental pollution and the need to protect it creates a demand for environmentally friendly technologies and services, including waste recycling. Secondly, legislative and regulatory initiatives aimed at reducing waste and improving waste management create a favorable framework for the development of this sector. Thirdly, technological progress in the field of recycling makes it possible to create new products from waste and reduce the negative impact on the environment. Also, the development of this sector can stimulate investment and contribute to the creation of new jobs in the field of ecological economy. All this testifies to the potentially high investment attractiveness and prospects for the development of solid waste processing enterprises. Article is written in Ukrainian

Research and Improvement of Competitive Advantages of the Enterprise (p. 84 - 89)
In the scientific literature, there is a variety of approaches to determining the essence of competitive advantages. It is well-known to define competitive advantages as characteristics, consumer properties of a product or brand that give an enterprise an advantage over its competitors. This advantage can be achieved by providing consumers with greater benefits, whether through the sale of more affordable products or the offer of high-quality goods with additional services, at comparatively higher prices. Ensuring competitive advantages is an important aspect of strategic enterprise management in a competitive environment. The variety of approaches to defining the essence of this category testifies to its multifaceted nature. The formation of competitive advantages at the enterprise can be achieved by rationalizing the cost of production, a high level of product differentiation, reasonable market segmentation, the introduction of innovations and a rapid response to market needs. Significant factors for ensuring competitive advantages at the enterprise are also an increased level of labor productivity and personnel qualifications, quality and technical level of manufactured products, managerial expertise and strategic thinking at all levels of management. Important factors influencing competitiveness are also warranty and post-warranty service, advertising, the manufacturer’s image and the market situation, including fluctuations in demand. The process of ensuring competitive advantage requires the enterprise to identify social interaction in the market environment, in particular, responding to criticism, the ability to learn, communicate and maintain connections with stakeholders. This creates the prerequisites for the effective development of the enterprise. In the process of ensuring competitive advantage, it is important to focus on innovations that allow you to gain a competitive advantage, such as new technologies, changes in customer demands, production costs and component availability.

Management of Customer Loyalty in the Context of Digitalization as a Means of Increasing Financial Stability of a Company (p. 90 - 95)
The article highlights the issue of forming and managing customer loyalty in the service sector by using digital tools. The importance of customer loyalty as one of the most powerful components of an enterprise’s intellectual capital is emphasized. The types of loyalty are characterized according to the criteria of attitude to the brand (positive/negative) and the frequency of repeated transactions (absolute, hidden, false, zero). Loyalty indicators and how to calculate them are covered: customer retention rate, customer long-term value, Net Promoter Score, customer satisfaction surveys, customer effort evaluation, cause and effect questions, repeated purchases and referrals, engagement. It was noted that among the various types of loyalty (bonus program, fixed discount, temporary discount, multi-level discount program, product as a gift, partner loyalty program, paid loyalty program) the non-commercial program deserves the most attention, because in the long term it forms and testifies to absolute customer loyalty. The main types of loyalty management in the context of digitalization include transactional, social-network, related to the influence on engagement, emotions, consumer behavior, and intentions to recommend a service. It is emphasized that automated systems, such as software for managing business processes and online services for booking procedures, are becoming an integral part of modern beauty salons and offer a wide range of possibilities: online booking for services through a website or mobile application, reminders about visits by messages or e-mail; a calendar of appointments for services with the possibility of synchronization with personal calendars of beauty masters; automatic control of consumables balances, formation of supply orders, cash book management, income and expense accounting, profitability analysis; newsletters about promotions and special offers, maintenance of pages in social networks; storage of information about customers, their preferences, history of visits through the CRM system. The positive consequences of using automation in beauty salons include increasing efficiency and productivity, improving customer service, increasing profitability, expanding marketing and advertising opportunities, improving ratings and reviews, but among the negative ones, we single out dependence on technology, loss of personal contact, and threats to data privacy. A developed set of advertising events with seasonal specialization using online tools (conducting master classes and virtual consultations, seasonal loyalty programs, charity initiatives, promotions for special dates) is presented.

Economic Potential of Enterprise: The Essence and Main Components (p. 129 - 135)
The aim of the article is to study the content of the economic potential of enterprise, its structure and features of formation. In the context of dynamic changes in the national and world economy, the problems of socioeconomic development of the enterprise are becoming more and more relevant. These issues are also inextricably linked to the potential of the enterprise, in particular, its economic potential. Based on the results of the carried out analysis of existing studies, it is determined that the economic potential is considered as a set of resources, as well as the possibilities of using these resources to achieve goals and ensure development. In addition, researchers in this context talk about the ability to make a profit and the maximum possible output. The carried out analysis of the existing approaches to the interpretation of the content of the economic potential of enterprise and its structure allowed to conclude that it is a rather complicated, complex, dynamic system of all types of resources and capabilities of enterprise, also this system’s ability to effectively use them to achieve the set goals and ensure sustainable development of the enterprise in the long run. Based on the results of the analysis of approaches to determining the essence and components of economic potential, it is proposed to consider it taking into account the temporal and spatial characteristics. The primary component of the economic potential is its resource component, which contains all the resources of the enterprise and reflects the results of its past activities. The ability of an enterprise to effectively use the accumulated resources is reflected in its current potential, and the ability to ensure sustainable development is reflected in its strategic potential.

Organizational and Economic Conditions of Development and Components of Market Success of Enterprises in the Context of Digitalization, Innovation and Socialization of the National Economy (p. 143 - 150)
The aim of the article is to study the organizational and economic conditions of development and the components of market success of enterprises in the context of digitalization of the economy on the basis of the computed impact of significant attributes on the market success of different types of economic entities (large, medium, small and micro enterprises) in 2010 and 2022 using a multi-attribute model. The authors present the dynamics of changes in the market success of different types of economic entities in 2010–2022 under the influence of significant attributes according to the multi-attribute model. The article analyzes the current state of digital transformation in the context of regions of Ukraine. In 2023, we have a group of regions in which digital transformation has slowed down, namely: Sumy (?0.356), Zaporizhzhia (?0.081), Kherson (?0.184), Donetsk (?0.11), Odesa (?0.051), Cherkasy (?0.044) regions. Digitalization accelerated in Lviv (?0.092), Volyn (?0.111), Kyiv (?0.096), and Khmelnytskyi (?0.01) regions. Pursuing the goal of digital transformation of business processes in enterprises, there should be no gaps in innovation, as digital technologies are developing much faster than the government and public institutions can define and present policies to regulate digital technologies and use the benefits that technology brings to enterprises, businesses, individuals. The relevance of digitalization of the economy is substantiated. Digital business must become socialized due to flexibility to the needs of the client, quick response to his requests. A modern virtual business must be ready to produce goods and provide not only «today for tomorrow», but also «today for today» services. It is proposed to include the development of a new product and the expansion of the customer base to the effective organizational and economic conditions of business adaptation in the face of modern challenges. For a digital enterprise, expand the line of digital services to retain established customers but provide them with a wider range of digital services. The authors take the position that it is necessary to expand virtual business opportunities, namely the search for new markets through work on digital online platforms with round-the-clock consultations of managers.

Strengthening the Motivation of Staff as a Factor of Enterprise Competitiveness (p. 167 - 173)
The aim of the article is to study the theoretical and applied aspects of the functioning of the system of motivation of staff on the example of a production enterprise and to outline the directions of its improvement in the context of increasing the competitiveness of enterprise. The article analyzes the current state of staff motivation on the example of a leading Ukrainian company specializing in the trade of furniture components and accessories. In the course of the analysis, it has been found that over the past three years, the motivational system of enterprise has remained sufficiently balanced and generally satisfies the basic needs of employees. The company uses a wide range of financial motivation instruments, which includes competitive wages, a bonus system, providing production personnel with summer and winter overalls, paying for mobile communications, compensation for fuel costs when using own cars for work purposes, etc. Common measures of non-financial motivation of production enterprises are the functioning of corporate universities and libraries, career development of employees, support for employees serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, sports events, and so on. Despite a fairly effective system of motivation, some of its weaknesses have been identified as follows: in particular, a low share of additional wages, an insufficiently competitive social package of the company, which contains only basic elements, imperfection of non-material motivation, insufficient individualization of motivation, etc. In modern wartime conditions, measures to improve non-financial motivation can become effective motivation instruments, such as: the introduction of the «Best Employee of the Month / Quarter / Year» programs, recognition of employees’ merits by awarding certificates of honor, letters of gratitude, valuable gifts, holding rallying events, creating a psychological service to support the mental health of staff.

Strategic Ensuring of Economic Security of Enterprises in the Context of Digitalization of the Economy of Ukraine (p. 181 - 190)
The article specifies that in modern conditions there is an active digitalization of socioeconomic processes, which significantly affects the activities of enterprises. It is also specified that the process of digital transformation of society, which is inherent in the fourth stage of globalization, has become one of the most expressive phenomena of this period. In this regard, there is an urgent need to measure the level of development of the digital economy and the degree of its impact on the economic security of the enterprise, which is becoming the most important both at the regional, national and global levels. The essence of the strategy for ensuring the economic security of the enterprise is determined by the degree of orientation of the enterprise’s activities to the implementation of the goals and objectives of its economic security in the context of digitalization of the economy of Ukraine. A matrix for choosing a strategy for ensuring the economic security of enterprises under the influence of digitalization is proposed, which is determined depending on the index of digital transformation of Ukraine (relevant region) and the level of economic security of enterprise by forming on two grounds using a system of horizontal and vertical coordinates that express the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the relevant parameters. A classification of types of strategy for ensuring economic security depending on the impact of the level of digital transformation of the economy of Ukraine (one of Ukrainian regions) has been proposed, which makes it possible to search for such an option for the functioning of enterprise, which will ensure the optimal balance between the existing opportunities and the desired results, and to choose a strategy inherent in the enterprise, taking into account the level of digital transformation of the economy. A methodical approach has been proposed, which allows enterprises to choose a strategy for ensuring economic security based on its current level and the level of digitalization of the economy. The application of this approach within the framework of the internal analytics of the enterprise will allow to develop effective measures to ensure economic security in the long run. Prospects for further research in this direction are the development of a mechanism for ensuring the economic security of enterprises in the context of digitalization of the Ukrainian economy.

Using the LTO Network Level 1 Blockchain to Automate Inter-Organizational Business Processes (p. 205 - 212)
The article is devoted to the consideration of blockchain technology as a means of automating inter-organizational business processes. It is noted that the digitalization and automation of internal business processes bring significant benefits in terms of increasing productivity and reducing costs. However, organizations face difficulties when trying to obtain such benefits for inter-organizational processes, partly due to a lack of trust. This paper considers a blockchain approach to address this problem. Bitcoin has demonstrated how blockchain can provide a distributed system without the need for trust through cryptography and decentralization. LTO extends this approach with a decentralized workflow engine for ad-hoc collaboration. Information is exchanged between participants through private event chains for each process and hashed on a public blockchain. This hybrid approach allows organizations to comply with data protection requirements and avoid scalability issues typical of blockchain projects. The advantages of LTO live contracts over Ethereum smart contracts are discussed. Live contracts do not contain values directly, but describe the interaction between the parties, unlike the cryptographic "boxes" of smart contracts. Modeling live contracts as finite state machines allows visualizing them in the form of a flowchart. Alternative modeling techniques such as Petri nets and BPMN are discussed. The article describes a scenario-based approach to defining a workflow containing states, actions, participants, assets, and embedded data objects. The features of data objects, participant identifiers, process execution and its adaptability are detailed. The author explains the operation of a private event chain as an ad-hoc private blockchain that ensures the consistency of the process state between nodes. Methods of ensuring data privacy are discussed. The second part of the article is devoted to the global public blockchain LTO to confirm information from private event chains. The consensus algorithm is explained based on the importance of token ownership and its use to prevent abuse. Optimizations, such as the NG protocol and aggregation blocks, are discussed to scale with a large number of transactions. The last part describes the architecture of the platform and its components: microservices, application layers, container orchestration. The platform makes it easy to digitalize and automate inter-organizational interactions using live contracts on the blockchain. Article is written in Ukrainian

Organizational and Economic Support for the Integration of Engineering into the Energy Security System of Enterprises on the Basis of Process Approach (p. 149 - 155)
The article highlights the organizational and economic aspects of the introduction of the latest technologies into the energy security system of enterprises, which includes ensuring a stable supply of energy, its rational use and protection from various risks. The main challenges faced by Ukrainian enterprises in the conditions of wartime are considered, including power outages as a follow-up of the destruction of infrastructure. The possibilities of attracting the State support programs and financial mechanisms that can help reduce the economic burden on enterprises are analyzed. In addition, the article emphasizes the importance of a system approach for the faster implementation of technological solutions, which allows for reducing energy costs. It has been researched that enterprises that have used engineering solutions have noted a reduction in energy costs at the level of 25–35%. The introduction of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind farms, reduces dependence on traditional energy resources and increases resilience to price fluctuations in the energy market. Particular attention is paid to the introduction of the latest technologies, including automation, digitalization, renewable energy sources and smart energy grids (SmartGrids), which contribute to more efficient management of energy resources. These technologies allow to reduce energy costs and ensure the stability of supply. The key elements of organizational and economic support for the integration of engineering into the energy security system are allocated, with an emphasis on automation and digital monitoring of energy consumption in real time. This assists the prompt identification of problems and their quick solution. The use of SmartGrids also helps to optimize the energy distribution process and integrate renewable sources, which increases the flexibility and resilience of enterprises’ energy systems while increasing their cost-effectiveness. The paper also considers methods for assessing the economic efficiency of the integration of modern technologies, including cost-benefit analysis, calculation of return on investment and assessment of risk reduction. It is proved that although the integration of engineering and SmartGrids requires significant capital investment, the long-term benefits, such as reduced energy costs and increased production efficiency, can far outweigh the initial costs. Regular monitoring and evaluation of the results of technology implementation allow timely adjustment of the company’s strategy to achieve the maximum economic effect. The importance of energy security for the stable and efficient operation of enterprises, especially in the conditions of hostilities, which lead to regular interruptions in energy supply and damage to infrastructure, is emphasized. Ensuring energy security contributes to increasing the economic sustainability and efficiency of enterprises in today’s dynamic environment. A comprehensive integration of new technologies into the energy security system through updating organizational and economic approaches is proposed, which will increase the efficiency of energy use, reduce costs and minimize risks. Such integration involves attracting investment, adapting organizational structures and training staff, which will achieve long-term economic efficiency. Article is written in Ukrainian

The Theoretical and Methodological Aspects of Forming the Development Strategy of Construction Enterprises in Ukraine under Martial Law Conditions (p. 162 - 169)
The article summarizes the theoretical and methodological aspects of the formation of the strategy for the development of enterprises in the construction industry under martial law. It is noted that the consequences of the war were felt globally by all participants in the construction market of Ukraine and European countries. The situation, which has developed primarily due to the military aggression of the russian federation, holds back investors and forces them to reduce funding for projects at different stages of their implementation or abandon them at the pre-investment stage. In addition, many construction companies face problems related to the loss of financial stability, which requires the formation of appropriate financial strategies that must take into account the availability and proper distribution of external and internal resources. It is determined that the main problem for enterprises of the construction industry is the creation of a favorable investment climate in Ukraine and real financial and credit mechanisms to stimulate industrial and residential construction in order to increase the competitiveness of the industry. It is noted that there are many factors that determine the development strategy of a construction enterprise. To determine the strategic directions of development of enterprises in the construction industry, a SWOT analysis and a PEST analysis of the functioning of enterprises in the construction industry were carried out. Within the framework of the formation and implementation of the strategy for the development of enterprises in the construction industry, strategic goals are defined. It is determined that the formation of a strategy for the development of enterprises in the construction industry of Ukraine under martial law requires the integrated use of effective organizational, financial and economic tools to solve problems that have arisen over the years and intensified during the war. An algorithm for forming a strategy for the development of enterprises in the construction industry is developed. It is concluded that the formation of a strategy for the development of enterprises in the construction industry under martial law is based on the use of all available production resources, the formation of an appropriate system of State regulation of investment processes in construction, the use of effective organizational, legal, financial and economic tools for the implementation of strategic goals for the development of economic entities.

The Methodology for Evaluating ESG Compliance with the Micro-Level Criteria (p. 178 - 187)
The article is devoted to the theoretical and methodological issues of assessing the compliance of enterprises with ESG criteria at the micro level. The relevance of the given topic and the presence of previously uncovered parts of the general problem determined the purpose of the study, namely the development of a methodology for assessing the compliance of enterprises with ESG criteria at the micro level. The article proposes a methodology for assessing the compliance of enterprises with ESG criteria at the micro level, which, unlike the existing ones, provides a systematic approach to assessing the environmental (E), social (S) and governance (G) components of companies’ activities. The developed methodology takes into account both general indicators for all enterprises and industry specifics, which allows for a comprehensive assessment taking into account the specifics of each company. The assessment system is based on a rating model, where each indicator is assigned a score of 0, 0.5 or 1, which reflects the level of compliance with the criteria of sustainable development. The integral ESG indicator is formed on the basis of the arithmetic mean of the scores for all three categories. This makes it possible to classify enterprises according to levels of compliance: from the initial level (C) to the advanced (A). The proposed methodology enables enterprises to get a clear picture of their compliance with ESG standards, identify weaknesses and areas for improvement. Particular attention in the methodology is paid to environmental management, environmental impact, resource administration, as well as interaction with stakeholders and the corporate governance system. The study substantiates that the proposed methodology contributes to improving the efficiency of the implementation of ESG principles in enterprises, helping them to adapt to the requirements of the market and investors focused on sustainable development. The proposed system, in comparison with the existing ones, is universal and can be used to assess enterprises in various sectors of the economy, in particular the financial and industrial sectors. Further research could be aimed at expanding the indicators, automating the assessment process, and adapting the methodology to international markets, making it even more relevant to global business.

Methods of Introducing the Quality Management System in the Organization (p. 194 - 200)
The article considers in detail the problem of introduction and certification of quality management systems in organizations, substantiates their importance in ensuring the competitiveness of economic entities in the context of globalization. In this regard, there is a need to introduce quality management systems that meet international ISO standards. The aim of the article is to provide a theoretical and practical substantiation of the methodology for the formation of the quality management system of an organization, which is determined by the allocation of key stages of development and introduction of the quality system. The related study should reflect the significance and impact of a reasonable approach to the introduction of the quality management system on the efficiency of management and competitiveness of the organization. The authors note that modern stakeholders demand from organizations not only guarantees of the quality of goods and services, but also social responsibility. The article analyzes contemporary approaches to the formation of the quality management system, identifies the advantages of the project approach to the introduction of the quality management system, identifies the main elements and stages of introduction of the quality management system in the organization. The aim and objectives of the study were achieved through the use of the following methods: analysis and synthesis – to study information sources on the subject of research and modern approaches to the development of quality management systems; comparative analysis – to characterize different approaches to the formation and introduction of quality management systems; system approach – to study the quality management system as an integral system with interrelated elements; empirical methods – to obtain information on the experience of introducing quality management systems in different organizations. Particular attention is paid to the project approach to the formation of quality management systems, which ensures a structured process of their introduction. The key stages of an alike project are highlighted, such as planning, introduction of tasks, monitoring and audit, certification and continuous improvement. The introduction of quality management systems provides organizations not only with compliance with market requirements, but also with the development of the professional potential of staff, increases its involvement in business processes. The authors compare different approaches to the introduction of quality management systems: independent development or with involvement of external experts. The use of the organization’s internal resources can reduce costs and increase the adaptability of the system, but there are risks of not having the necessary competencies. External consultants are able to ensure the speed and efficiency of introduction, but their services require financial resources. The introduced quality management system ensures not only high quality of products or services, but also increases the reputation of the organization in the market, attracts new customers and partners, and also minimizes the risks associated with management of business processes. Also, the quality management system is focused on identifying, eliminating or minimizing risks associated with inconsistencies and deviations in individual processes of the system. This will help the organization to be competitive in the market and attract more consumers. Thus, the quality management system allows the organization to become more efficient, sustainable and focused on strategic development. Prospects for further scientific developments in the field of research on the construction of quality management systems will be directed towards adapting modern technologies and innovative approaches to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of such systems, in particular, through the use of Big Data to track the performance of quality management systems, forecast changes and make decisions based on the analysis of large amounts of information and the development of international standards ISO 9001 to the needs of the global economy and new challenges related to digitalization and globalization.

Assessment of Labor Potential as a Basis for the Development of the Process of Intellectualization at Industrial Enterprises: Scientific and Practical Aspects (p. 201 - 211)
The aim of the article is the formation of scientific and practical aspects of assessing the labor potential as the basis for the development of the process of intellectualization at industrial enterprises in modern transformational conditions. According to the results of the carried out study, it is found that a significant level of instability and the impact of global transformations significantly affects the fundamental transformations of the socioeconomic system of society. Under their influence, the demographic structure of society is changing, innovative requirements for the labor market are being formed, the intensity of migration flows is increasing, labor resources are being integrated into world labor markets, etc. Since Ukraine’s independence (1991), socioeconomic development has had significant fluctuations, which were formed under the influence of endogenous and exogenous factors. The economy of Ukraine during the period of independence has had significant fluctuations, which affected the level of the average wage of the population. For the most part, the formation of the country’s development depends on the efficiency of the labor potential (physical, intellectual, material, etc.). On the basis of the study, it is determined that the dynamics of the growth rate of the average wage in Ukraine for 2019–2023 in hryvnias and dollars practically had a corresponding upward trend, except for cases when there were fluctuations in the exchange rate. This is verified by the fact that changes in wages are influenced by the following factors: economic factors; social factors and political factors. Despite the increase in the level of average wages in Ukraine, it is much lower than in other developed European countries. The results of the carried out analysis of the indicators of the dynamic series of dependence of the size of the average wage and the number of employees involved in the implementation of research and development in Ukraine for 2019–2023 indicate a close distinct monotonous dependence. This is confirmed by the fact that the growth in the R&D performance rate in Ukraine includes several key aspects: funding, cost structure, research results, impact on innovation and the country’s economy as a whole. Current tendencies should be aimed at increasing the focus on applied and innovative research, namely: increasing the commercial and practical significance of scientific research and strengthening the links between science, the State and industry.
