Moreover, financial parameters allow determination of economic viability of an enterprise, its stability in the market and also strength of the consumer and supplier interaction. That is why importance of managing financial flows in the logistic system cannot be overestimated. Optimisation of movement of financial flows in logistics is provision of movement of material flows with financial resources in required volumes and terms with the use of the most effective sources of financing. This could be achieved by two main ways: timely receipt of funds by an enterprise in the volume required for its further activity and ensuring effective spending of funds that brings profit and is co-ordinated with the enterprise mission.

Behavioural Stereotype as a Backbone Factor in Economic Security of an Enterprise (p. 273 - 278)
The article sets a problem of building a system of economic security of an enterprise with consideration of impossibility and inexpediency of such building on the hypothetical and logical mathematical basis. The task of ensuring functioning efficiency of such a system should be placed on the social element in the system – a human being, his or her consciousness, ability to solve problems intuitively, understanding and ensuring adaptability of the system to changes. A formal characteristic of the social element in the system is a behavioural stereotype and social role. Theoretical basis of building the system of economic security of an enterprise with a behavioural stereotype as a backbone factor is the theory of functional systems, which gives a possibility to consider understanding of behavioural acts in the functional system and behavioural stereotypes in the socio-economic system to be connected to such an extent that these two notions could be used for creation of the system of economic security of an enterprise. The article develops the author’s own model of the system of economic security of an enterprise in which the factor that stimulates the system elements to reflective and supraliminal expedient behaviour is a dominating motivation and starting afference of people, being part of these elements, which is fixed in certain behavioural stereotypes. Activity of each of the system elements depends on certain behavioural stereotypes on the basis of which the mechanisms of functioning of one or another element are based.

Problems and Urgent Tasks of Development of the Theory of the Production Strategy of an Enterprise (p. 279 - 286)
The article is devoted to identification of problem aspects and setting urgent tasks of development of the theory of production strategy of an enterprise. It shows that formation of the foundations of the theory of productiuon strategy started in the end of 60s and beginning of 70s of the twentieth century due to efforts of a number of researchers from western industrially developed countries. It establishes that today the theory of production strategy of an enterprise has a number of paradigmal provisions, generalisation of which shows that the production strategy is a component of the general strategy of an organisation, its goal is to provide the enterprise with strategically important competitive advantages, it refers to the category of functional strategies and is specified in the set of production and strategic decisions that cover the technological, resource, organisational and other aspects of the production activity of the enterprise, the subordinate character is inherent in it since it is developed for support of the general corporate and business strategy of the enterprise. Understanding the idea of the modern production and strategic paradigm made it possible to identify problem planes and set urgent tasks of further development of the theory of production strategy of an enterprise. These tasks are: development of methodological grounds of the study of production strategies of enterprises, systematisation of factors and specification of principles of formation of the production strategy, typologisation of traditional production strategies and specification of characteristic features of the newest, just forming and establishing in realities of the post-industrial environment, strategies.

Modern Paradigm of Ensuring Competitive Advantages of an Enterprise (p. 221 - 225)
The article considers evolution of development of the paradigm of ensuring competitive advantages of an enterprise. Foreign and domestic scientists focus on individual directions of development of competitive advantages and pay insufficient attention to new management concepts – development of the information society, knowledge economy and dynamism of integration processes. The goal of the study is formation of the modern paradigm of ensuring competitive advantages of an enterprise with consideration of tendencies of development of the knowledge economy, information society and integration processes. Enterprise competitiveness is a synergetic characteristic, which reflects enterprise capability of dynamic response to changes of the market situation with the aim of keeping predominance over other economic subjects. Management of the future, on the basis of the management 2.0 concept, should take into account interests not only of top management and shareholders but also employees, local communities and territories and meet requirements of the society in general, individual groups of consumers and tendencies of development of managerial and information technologies. The paradigm of the modern theory of ensuring competitive advantages should include models of keeping competitive advantages in the existing markets and models of development of future markets; strategy of development of enterprise competitiveness, human capital development and efficient enterprise management.

Internal Control of Enterprise Capital Turnover under the Integration Processes (p. 271 - 276)
The article tries to build methods of internal control of the capital turnover, which would meet modern integration processes in Ukraine and in the world. First of all it states that internal control should ensure realisation of interests of the enterprise owner. It marks out that despite the existing methods, the enterprise control should be started not with assets, but from the sources of their formation – own capital and obligations, and only then go to the enterprise property control. The author offers relevant methods of capital turnover control, which takes into account its stages – acquisition, production and sales – and gives practical recommendations on its use at enterprises. Special attention is paid to the capital turnover control at the stage of production, which should keep track of both quantitative and qualitative parameters. Acquisition and sales control, except for internal controllers, is carried out by marketing, logistics and other services. Generalisation of results of the control should be done in forms that, on the one hand, have evidential force and, on the other, accessible for comprehension and use in the process of making managerial decisions by managers of various levels.

Justification of the Order of Selection of Sources of Financing Investments into Technical Re-equipment of an Enterprise (p. 271 - 275)
The article analyses existing theoretical and practical approaches, procedures and algorithms of selection of sources of financing investments. It shows that the majority of scientists offer to perform selection by the criteria of financing sources price minimum. It shows that determination of a common optimisation criterion would not ensure correct results in all cases under modern economic conditions. The article proves the necessity of independent establishment of restrictions and financing sources selection criteria by the enterprise depending on economic conditions, its financial state and goals and tasks it solves. The author develops an order of selection of sources of financing investments into technical re-equipment of the enterprise. The proposed order is universal, since it takes into account a possibility of use of various restrictions and selection criteria and also could be used for justification of selection of sources of financing real investments.

Adaptation of the System of Economic Security of an Enterprise to Influence of Subjects of Customs Regulation (p. 308 - 312)
The article studies foundations of enterprise adaptation to the impact of subjects of customs regulation in the context of the bio-organisational approach. It identifies essence of the “adaptation” term and its inter-disciplinary expansion into the sphere of economic security. The main task of the article is identification of the essence and levels of adaptation of the system of economic security of and enterprise to the impact of subjects of customs regulation. In order to ensure successful enterprise functioning under conditions of change of the influence of subjects of customs regulation, adaptation of the security system should take place – its saturation with new content and composition of elements and adjustment to new influence of subjects of customs regulation, and adaptation of the security system should become the basis for the enterprise adaptation in general. The article offers to consider adaptation dually: on the one hand, as the “response” of the enterprise security system to deforming influence from subjects of customs regulation within the bio-organisational approach (actually, in this case it is possible to speak about a certain ectogenesis of an enterprise in time); on the other hand, as a set of specific predictable and previously prepared actions and measures at an enterprise within the mechanistic approach. The article offers four levels of adaptation of the security system to the impact of subjects of customs regulation: epistemologic, pragmatic, instrumental and organisational.

Organisational Support of the Subsystem of Economic-analytical Information Processing in Functionally Developed Systems of Management of Special Purpose of Industrial Enterprises and Production Associations (p. 271 - 279)
The goal of the article is to show, for the first time ever, main and most important sides of organisational support of the function of economic analysis under modern conditions of functionally developed systems of management of special purpose of industrial enterprises and production associations. Analysing, systemising and generalising scientific works of many economists and the leading practical experience, the article identifies difficulties of formation and introduction of organisational support of the subsystem of economic-analytical information processing. In the result of the study the article justifies establishment of organisational support of the subsystem, which means both division of functions between a human being and digital electronic equipment and a clearer identification of functions and tasks of managerial personnel, and in some cases – improvement of organisational schemes of managerial bodies that perform economic-analytical functions. It is evident at this stage already that it is expedient to allocate, from structural chains of an industrial enterprise and production association, a leading subdivision, which would identify methodical principles of analysis, its organisation at an enterprise, and directions of development of analysis under conditions of functioning of a functionally developed system of management of special purpose of a subject of economic activity. Some of the prospects of further development in this direction are application of universal methods of creation of the management subsystem, training specialists and a number of other issues, solution of which is also urgent. Based on requirements of intensification of production and modern data processing, the further development of analysis might result in substitution of the traditional economic analysis with a functionally developed subsystem of economic-analytical information processing.

Analysis of definitions of the sales policy that are found in specialised literature allows drawing a conclusion that researchers are not quite clear in interpretation of this category along with other close terms overlooking the key essence of each of them. That is why, the article gives definition of the sales policy notion, which should be understood, first of all, as a behavioural philosophy or general principles of activity, which a firm plans to stick to in the sphere of development of channels of distribution of their goods and movement of goods in time and space. Critical review of theoretical and applied developments in the sphere of sales activity allows systemising a wide spectrum of decisions that are made in the sphere of the sales policy and allocation of the following main directions of its realisation: development and introduction of the distribution strategy; selection of the strategy of product movement through a distribution channel; ensuring processes of marketing logistics; and motivation of sales personnel. Pursuant to the tendencies of development of the sales sphere and with consideration of the general target orientation of the enterprise sales activity, the author identifies the following actual principles of the sales policy: economic efficiency, integration into the general corporate policy of an enterprise, subordination to marketing goals, strategic direction, systemacy and technological effectiveness, flexibility and adaptability, innovation, partner interaction, inter-cultural level and ethical behaviour.

Enigmatic Concept of Building a Functional Structure Subsystem of Economic and Analytical Information Processing in the Functional Development of Special-purpose Control Systems of Industrial Enterprises and Scientific-production Associations (p. 279 - 283)
The purpose of the article is reduced to the fact that for the first time a vision of building a functional structure of a subsystem of economic and analytical information processing in the functional development of control systems of special purpose industrial enterprises and scientific and industrial associations of the country was set out. Theoretical research of the papers were performed and practical experience in creating functional management systems developed special purpose industrial enterprises and scientific-production associations in a number of areas of engineering and shipbuilding suggests that the construction of a block diagram of the functional structure of the subsystem of economic and analytical information processing should be based on a priori knowledge and reduced, in fact, to adapt its structure to the a priori stated objectives. The above concept of building a functional structure subsystem economic and analytical information processing in the functional development of special-purpose control systems of industrial enterprises and scientific-production associations, as practice shows, best meets the functional requirements of the object approach, from which it follows that each economic-analytical task, on the one hand, should serve the function of the organic component of economic analysis, and on the other – at the same time be part of a specific functional management unit with a full loop control system: planning, accounting, economic analysis, regulation. Among the prospects for further research in this area of particular relevance, in our view, different questions related to the provision of comprehensive characterization of the quantitative composition of the tasks of economic and analytical information processing and its main units and other complexes.

Stress Testing as a Method of Forecasting and Financial Risk Assessment of a Commercial Enterprise (p. 200 - 207)
The purpose of this paper is the research and development of stress-testing tools for assessing and predicting the degree of financial risks on the financial position and capital structure of commercial enterprise. As a result of studies, the authors developed a procedure for conducting stress testing for trade, which consists of four phases, namely: identification (identification) of financial risks; development of the financial model of the outlet; the development of stress-test scenarios; calculation of the stress tests and the interpretation of results. As a financial enterprise model it was proposed to use a simulation model of the balance, based on the capital structure of the company, presented as a source of funds and their investments. It was proved that to predict the effects of financial risks on the capital structure in the financial model it is necessary to analyze the sources of funds of the company and their investments in the context of the degree of liquidity and maturities. Also, the analysis of accounts receivable is advantageously carried out with the indicator of the level of reservation. It was suggested to use three types of stress-test scenarios that differ by the impact of risk factors on the parameters of the financial model (base, negative and critical). The scenarios for stress testing for trade were presented. The study revealed that the proposed approach provides a predictive assessment of the level of losses in the case of the implementation of financial risks. The results can be used to improve procedures predict the effects of financial risks on the capital structure using stress testing for both a commercial enterprise and companies in other industries.

To substantiate selection of the priority direction for intellectual property management (IPM), five groups of criteria has been proposed, characterizing the degree of acceptability of the proposed tools for the specific status of implementation of innovative-investment policy and development of enterprise. As such criteria were selected the staff-related, innovative-technological, financial-economic, marketing and organizational-legal. Quantitative figures reflecting possible gains and losses from the selection of a particular direction for IPM have been calculated by the specified groups of criteria, and the relative importance of each of them has been determined. The work's result has proved that the most rational direction for IPM in case of the PJSC «Zavod «Yuzhkabel» will be creation and use of intellectual property items (IPI) at the enterprise.

A Mechanism for Control of the Economic Sustainability of Industrial Enterprise (p. 251 - 255)
The article is aimed at developing a mechanism for control of the economic sustainability of industrial enterprise. For each particular integrated indicator of the economic sustainability, systems of continuous evaluation have been developed and structured in the form of the corresponding graph charts, which demonstrate that the goal of achieving the economic sustainability as an objective for the related goal-setting can be reduced to the decomposition of each indicator until the indivisible level. To determine the likelihood of occurrence of economic insecurity for an industrial enterprise, provided that one of the indicators of economic sustainability has gone beyond the limits of defined indicators, the Bayes' theorem is used. Next, by means of the algorithm to ensure the economic sustainability of industrial enterprise, corrective influences are carried out that will provide the necessary level of liquidity and profitability of industrial enterprise. Thus, use of this mechanism makes possible to calculate the likelihood that industrial enterprise will be economically unsustainable, provided that the value of a particular integrated indicator of economic sustainability will be unsatisfactory.

Assessing the Financial and Market Components of the Enterprise’s Economic Security (p. 212 - 218)
The most common in assessing economic security of an enterprise is the functional approach, but it needs to be improved on the basis of accumulated knowledge in the science of economic security at the micro-level, thus allowing for different organizing its usage. In order to assess the economic security of enterprise using a functional approach, it is proposed to abandon many functional components in favor of focusing on the financial and market ones, and to discard the traditional rollup of the normalized single and complex indicators to obtain an integral measure of the enterprise’s economic security. In order to assess the economic security of enterprise by the financial and market components, it is proposed to use the signature criteria for the selected indicators by each component, the number of which should be small. For each of the assessed components of the enterprise’s economic security four single indicators were selected, making possible to visualize the assessments by using the elliptic form of the Euler – Venn circles for the four multitudes of assessments as to each component.

The Probabilistic Analysis of Feasibility of Use of Outsourcing (p. 182 - 187)
A scenario modeling method has been developed that evaluates three alternative options for developing the outsourcing activity: without using the outsourcing and provider services; involving an external provider; creating an internal outsourcing service provider. Development of this method for enterprise will provide the possibility to focus sharply on profitable and prospective outsourcing agreements and to improve the competitive position of enterprise in the market. The practical application of the proposed method in the activity of OOO «Robitnya» determined that the most attractive in terms of the expected revenue for the enterprise in the future period is the conclusion of an outsourcing agreement with an external provider to ensure that enterprise marketing functions are implemented. In general, each specific case can have a combination of factors that determine the situation itself and, accordingly, require a certain unique solution, but it is important to take into account organizational costs, size of remuneration, and the relationship between the recognition of the provider and the expected quality of outsourcing services.

The article is aimed at defining theoretical foundations and developing scientific-methodical and practical recommendations on substantiation of target values of indicators of financial results for organization of problem monitoring at trade enterprises. It has been determined that the tasks of problem monitoring of financial results depend on the certain stage of the life cycle of enterprise. Its staying at the stages of development, formation or recession requires differentiation of both management goals and target values of financial results. Taking into consideration the coherence of determination of financial results, it has been proved that the main object of problem monitoring is the indicator of net financial result. In order to ensure the break-even activity of a trade enterprise, the target setting for the formation of its net financial result is to achieve zero value; to maintain the rate of growth and profitability of equity capital – a financial result, calculated according to the maximum profitability of equity for the enterprise; to maximize the financial result and ensure the profitability of equity at the level of enterprises-competitors – the financial result, taking into account the maximum profitability of equity based on the data obtained from the benchmarking analysis.

The article is aimed at analyzing the effective methods of economic analysis of intangible assets (IA). The existing directions of economic analysis of intangible assets are allocated and analyzed. According to the results of analysis of the allocated directions it is determined that at their implementation a considerable number of researchers do not consider specific properties of IA, duplicating the existing methods of economic analysis of the non-circulating assets of enterprise. To solve this problem, the ways of implementation of separate directions of the economic analysis of intangible assets were clarified, and attention was focused on the necessity to use market value as the main performance indicator, according to which it is necessary to perform the calculation of the IA efficiency at enterprise. Another problem of the existing methods of economic analysis of intangible assets is creation of the problem of asymmetry of information on intangible factors of value creation. To address this problem, it is necessary to provide analytical indicators on the non-material factors of value-creation for decision-making by external users, which would be calculated using information from the financial and management accounting subsystems and were filed in the form of both financial and non-financial indicators.

The Determination of Essentiality as a Leading Principle of the Formation of Integrated Reporting (p. 247 - 251)
The definition of essentiality as the leading principle of formation of integrated reporting is considered. The normative basis of essentiality in the context of integrated reporting is the International standard for integrated reporting. The principle of essentiality is that the integrated report should disclose information on issues that have a significant impact on an assessment of the organization’s ability to generate value in the short, medium, and long term periods. Essential for an integrated report is information that is capable of making changes to the organization’s value creation procedure. The definition of essentiality indicates that the essential information is the one that can change the order of assessment of any particular event. Therefore, insignificant for the integrated report is the information that cannot and does not bring such changes. The lack of a clear methodology for determining the essentiality, on the one hand, facilitates application of the principle of essentiality in specific conditions, and on the other — reduces the comparability of indicators of integrated reporting.

The Priorities of Choosing Non-Monetary or Monetary Approaches to Develop the Restructuring Strategies of Industrial Enterprises (p. 279 - 285)
The article is concerned with the tasks of defining and implementing anti-crisis transformations of the activity of industrial enterprises with a view to their restructuring from the standpoint of restoration and preservation of the capital-generating function. One of the most significant obstacles slowing or nullifying efficiency of the vast majority of restructuring strategies of national enterprises, are the not exactly correct interpretation and the practical use of the term of «market value of property and property rights». So the publication provides the author’s own definition of this category. Review of literature sources together with the author’s own elaborations allowed to conclude that, depending on goals and interests which motivate the owner or investor to restructure, two approaches can be allocated: the monetary and the non-monetary. Inefficient owner chooses the monetary approach to the restructuring strategies and makes managerial decisions in respect of property and property rights, based precisely on the market value of the object of evaluation. Effective owner sees feasable to get significantly more value added from the activities of the enterprise. He therefore chooses the non-monetary approach, involving substantial capital investment in modernization of the enterprise’s activities as an integral property complex.

Funds Flow Statement as an Information Source of the Enterprise Monetary Flows Management (p. 235 - 240)
The analytical capabilities of a funds flow statement are significant and important, but are not used to the full extent. The statement reflects the impact of operating, investment and financial activities of enterprises on the status of its monetary assets and their equivalents during the reporting period of time and allows to explain the reasons of changes during this period. The policy of managing the balances of monetary assets should provide for cost-effective use. The movement of funds from operating activities can be carried out both by direct and indirect methods. The direct method allows to analyze and evaluate the directions of income and expenditure of money, trace the movement of funds as result of operating, investment and financial activities, to carry out analysis of the net cash flow and define its structure. The statement, drawn up indirectly, reflects the reasons for the change in balance of funds and their transformation into various forms of assets, and discloses the relation of profits with changes in circulating assets and current liabilities and reserves. Given the importance of cash, the different analytical value of the statements, compiled directly and indirectly, and with the purpose of an efficient comprehensive analysis of monetary flows for the effective managerial decision-making, it is suggested to compile the statement using both methods.

The Status of Integration Processes of Enterprises Development in the Economy of Ukraine (p. 247 - 254)
The publication is aimed at defining the regularities of enterprise development in conditions of integration tendencies and estimation of activity of integration processes in Ukraine. Based on the analysis of statistical data, comparison of the progress of processes of mergers and acquisitions in Ukraine and world-wide, the level of activity of integration processes in Ukraine is evaluated as low. It is determined that national enterprises prefer both control and acquisition of stocks (shares, interests), at the same time the activity of creating integration structures together with registration of a legal entity is minimal. Foreign investors and enterprises with participation of foreign investors actively participate in integration processes on the basis of concentration. The following regularity is determined: national enterprises prevail in view of the number of concluded deals, and foreign ones – in view of the value of concluded deals. The integration processes in Ukraine have a pronounced sectoral specialization. The difference of the Ukrainian market of mergers and acquisitions from the global trends lies in the active conclusion of deals in the agri-industrial complex. In Ukraine, vertical integration, integration of small and medium-sized enterprises is encouraged, while institutional limitations for concentration within horizontal integration are established as well.

Identification and Estimation of Risks of Logistic Companies (p. 185 - 192)
The article defines the factors that cause the risks of transport companies in Ukraine. Factors were evaluated on the basis of international research data of the World Economic Forum 2017–2018. It is revealed that the main risk-generating factors for the transport sector, and the country’s economy as a whole, are constantly growing inflation, high levels of corruption and political instability resulting of the ATO. The system of logistics rules is complemented: to the rules relating to cargo, product quality, product volumes, time and place of delivery, delivery costs, an internal control system was added. The effective directions of the internal control system for a transport company are defined. On the basis of modern researches, the main elements of risk are characterized - the likelihood of occurrence and the impact level on the transport company business. The basic methods for determining likelihood as a first element are presented. The impact level is characterized depending on the business direction (life of employees, the environment, information protection, property losses, etc.) and the calculation of potential losses. The authors proposed an approach to risk assessment based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. The approach was tested on the data of the transport company - the main risks were evaluated in accordance with each of the seven previously defined logistics rules. The proposed approach to calculating likelihood and impact is supplemented by an indicator that takes into account risk-generating factors. Each transport risk has a smoothing factor (determined by each company independently – through a committee or cross-functional expert group). Based on the data obtained after calculations, a risk gradation matrix was developed as the basis for the creation of the future portfolio and risk management plan. The matrix is based on data from an average company and provides for a combination of a probability factor and an influence. The article also dedicated to the main ways of risk responding. The risks which fell into the critical sectors in the matrix after calculation, received recommendations for their minimization.

Planning Dividends in the Enterprise (p. 234 - 240)
The article is aimed at substantiating the principles and a methodical approach to planning dividends in the enterprise, which would provide ability to ensure the enterprise’s balanced financial development, would facilitate a growth of investment attractiveness and market value. The article considers the basic concepts of planning dividends, which were formed in the classical economic theory. The position and desire of different types of shareholders regarding the payments or capitalization of dividends are clarified. The principles of planning dividends are allocated and a coherence of planning dividends is proposed based on these principles. It is proposed to plan the amount of dividend payments that an enterprise can afford according to the needs of operating and investment activities on the basis of the indicator of the «level of reinvestment of the net money flow from operating activities». A substantiation of the allowable amount of dividends is based on this indicator and the planned indicators of the net money flow from operating activities, growth of fixed assets, non-material assets, unfinished capital investments and net working capital. The dividend payments ratio and the planned amount of dividends are proposed to define on the basis of the need to ensure the planned volume of the enterprise’s activities on the basis of a sustainable growth model. The final decision as to the substantiation of the amount of dividends is made within the obtained area of the values of planned dividend payments. Prospects for further researches in this direction are in-depth planning of dividends on a multi-criteria basis, which is reduced to substantiating their volumes according to the following criteria: maximizing the satisfaction of the financial interests of owners that give an advantage to the current income; ensuring the sustainable growth; preserving the financial equilibrium; minimizing the weighted average cost of capital. Also it is provisioned to find the target value of dividends by carrying out simulation modeling within certain limits.

The Economic Essence of Costs and Self-Cost of Production (p. 241 - 246)
The article is aimed at studying the economic nature of costs and self-cost of production. The economic essence of costs and self-cost of production is considered, analyzed and disclosed, as well as the author’s own opinion as to interpretation of this concept is formulated. The main task of any enterprise is to make a profit. Its size depends directly on the costs invested in the production and sale of goods, works or services, i.e. self-cost. The more such costs, the lower the return on business. If an entrepreneur understands how self-cost is formed, distinguishes its types, knows how to analyze factors of influence on the self-cost, knows and applies in practice the formulas of its calculation – success in business is guaranteed. That is why the economic essence of costs and self-cost of production is the basis of the enterprise’s efficient operation. The relevance of this problem is due to the fact that the calculation of the self-cost of production is defined for various purposes, one of which is pricing. This value is very important for the enterprise, because it accurately shows the total amount of money spent on the production of an article. In the future, it is used to set an effective price when marketing products. Thus, the analysis of essence of costs will not allow the enterprise to become unprofitable and uncompetitive because of the high price policy. Cost management is an important instrument in the economic management of enterprises.

Risks Management of the Value of Project (p. 221 - 227)
The article is aimed at conceptualizing the research on risks of the project’s value by identifying the risks brought and created by each of the project participants. The conceptual approach to researching the risks of changing the value of project is based on the subjective principle of risk formation, according to which all possible sources of risks are distributed to the risks of the overall action (changes in the market status, changes in the purchasing power of consumer) and the risks which are carried by each participant and every interested person of a project. On the basis of studying the project’s values, three groups of subjective risks have been identified: the risks brought by project participant; the risks created by each of the participants in the course of implementation of a project; risks of losing the value of project to each of the project participants. Criteria of value for each of the project participants together with their estimation indicators have been formed; the aggregate of risks brought by each of the project participants has been identified; the risks that participants pose in the process of implementation of project are defined. The identification of the risk that each of the project participants brings and creates helps to identify both the riskiest project participant and all the sources of risk for each of the project participants. Managerial decisions directed towards reducing the negative impact of both the brought and the created risks of each participant allow to manage both the risks of the project’s value for each of its participants, and the risk of the project in general.

Functional Features of Logistic Activities of Machine-Building Enterprises (p. 227 - 233)
The functional features of logistic activities of machine-building enterprises are defined on the basis of identification of factors influencing the efficiency of logistic activities and the criteria for evaluating the level of introduction of logistics. It is noted that the essence of the problem of introducing logistic activities into the practice of machine-building enterprises is that today’s manufacturers of machine-building products have almost no proper theoretical basis and practical experience in the use of the logistic system (in order to optimize costs and manage material, financial and information flows) by integrating individual parts of the logistic process into an efficient system and accounting the functional features of the logistic activities of machine-building enterprises. It is noted that the logistic system is an adaptive and feedback-enabled system that performs certain logistical functions. It usually consists of several subsystems and has well-developed links with the external environment. The application of logistic system in the enterprises of machine-building complex will allow to integrate all the processes of the enterprise with minimal costs, while optimally adapting production processes to the external environment factors. Based on a carried out study to determine the functional features of the logistic activities of machine-building enterprises, on the basis of identification of factors influencing the efficiency of logistic activities and criteria for evaluating the level of introduction of logistics, it is concluded that the main direction of improving the efficiency of logistic activities of machine-building enterprises is to use a systematic approach to the introduction of logistics in the production and economic activities of machine-building enterprises based on the use of a complex of logistic subsystems.

The Level of Security of the Enterprise’s Development as a Balance of Statics and Dynamics: Parameterization of the Main Indicators of Activity (p. 239 - 247)
The article is aimed at forming a system of key indicators of activity in evaluating the optimal level of security of industrial enterprise through the balance of statics and dynamics. It is defined that in order to obtain the optimal level of security of the industrial enterprise development, it is necessary to achieve a balance of the factors wth both static and dynamic nature of action. Moreover, the dynamic status provides two possibilities: to cover statics and characterize the transformation of the totality of all economic systems, which are not static, for a certain time. In the course of the research, considering the experience of scholars on the general economic theory, the choice of static indicators within the activities of a separate industrial enterprise is substantiated, which can include the following: value of non-current assets, including average fixed assets value and depreciation; number of production staff with a fixed salary level; constant part of the cost of sold products; amount and value of equity capital. As a result of production, investment, innovation, financial and management activities, static indicators, which are basic, are transforming into indicators of dynamics that characterize the enterprise’s activities over a certain time along with change of the positive or negative nature of its development. The level of security of industrial enterprise can be evaluated by an integral indicator, which takes into account the specific characteristics of the enterprise and the limitedness of the resources available.

Features of the Formation of a Subsystem of Information Provision of the Enterprise’s Financial Security System (p. 210 - 217)
The article explores the issues of collection and processing of information in order to efficiently manage the financial security system of the enterprise. The subjects collecting and processing the information are analyzed, a classification of them is proposed depending on the level of access to certain information, from the stage of formation and the department wherein the relevant subject works. Channels for obtaining information with the dividing them into internal and external ones with the definition of those responsible for sorting them are allocated. A key role in this process is taken up by the accounting and financial reporting department, on the basis of which the financial security system operates. On the basis of this, an information-providing model for the financial security management process has been proposed. The sources of threats to the information provision are researched and ways to prevent them are specified. The main legislation and regulation acts influencing the management of the enterprise’s financial security system are analyzed. The place of the State in ensuring a stable functioning of the financial security system of economic entities is defined, the factors of possible influence on increasing the level of interest of national enterprises in the implementation of this system through the introduction of benefits on the part of the State to such economic entities are considered. The role of regulatory provision at both the State level and the enterprise level to improve security of the national economy are researched.

The Theoretical and Applied Aspects of the Management of Efficiency of the Industrial Enterprises’ Investments from the Standpoint of the Stakeholder Theory: Essence, Indicators (p. 218 - 229)
The article improves and complements the classification of modern stakeholders with the selection of a group of main internal stakeholders and specifies the definition of the concept of «agreed (strategic) goal» with the selection of locus (tactical) goals of individual groups of stakeholders. It is underlined that the functional activity of the group of main internal stakeholders (workers of industrial enterprises) should be carried out in accordance with the principle of the «golden section», using a concrete example the practical implementation to have this principle illustrated. It is noted that in the enterprise without an effective process of creation of its gross income (newly created value) investments are impossible a priori. It is emphasized that the efficiency of interaction of stakeholders (in particular, with regard to investments) can be measured and evaluated by a system of indicators of the performance constituents based on the Burennikova (Polishchuk) – Yarmolenko models (the process of generating gross income for real industrial enterprises in the Vinnytsya region has been chosen as an example of the research object for verification of the models). It is proved that such a measurement on the principles of trialectics will help to increase the validity of managerial decisions, in this case, decisions related to the industrial enterprises’ investments as systems at micro-level with the allocation of primordial components of such a system. Based on the use of systemic and process approaches, enterprises have been rated, with the identification of enterprises-leaders in terms of investment efficiency and efficiency coefficient of investments in human capital with allocating the appropriate components.

The Acceptable Level of Threats and Security Risks for the Development of Enterprises as the Initial Parameter of Definition of Bifurcation States (p. 230 - 236)
The article is aimed at developing a methodical approach to determining the acceptable level of threats and risks in the activities of industrial enterprise as the initial parameters of bifurcation points. The article stipulates that the enterprise management system faces not only the issue of increasing the promptness of decision-making and finding new approaches to timely identification of the impact of risks on the main performance of enterprise, but also the issue of identifying the impact of possible risks on the evolution or revolution of either development, or degradation of the enterprise, as well as the transformation of these movements either in a certain order or in the chaos of functioning. In the course of research a methodical approach to risks management in the system of security of the enterprises’ development is proposed and an acceptable level of threats and risks in the activities of industrial enterprise as the initial point of bifurcation is defined. For the mechanism of forming alternative solutions regarding the acceptable level of threats and security risks of the enterprise’s development it is proposed to use the PDSA-cycle (Plan – Do – Study – Act = planning – implementation – study – reaction) consistently for each functional constituent of the enterprise’s activities, depending on the stages of its life cycle. Based on the selected list of possible threats to the enterprise’s activities and for each functional constituent, a model of integral assessment of the enterprise’s risk in the enterprise’s development security system and the probability of occurring risks with determining the range of their degree is proposed, which in the future will allow to determine the points of bifurcation in the system of management of the enterprise’s activities.

The Paradigm of Neo-Industrialization as an Objective Basis for the Transition of Domestic Industrial Enterprises to an Innovative-Type Economy (p. 237 - 243)
The article is aimed at forming a paradigm of neo-industrialization as an objective basis for the transition of domestic industrial enterprises to an innovative-type economy in modern economic conditions. It is defined that the development of domestic industrial enterprises should provide a balance between goals not only of the economic nature, but also of the social and environmental ones. Implementation of the process of development of domestic industrial enterprises cannot be effective in the short term, it should take into account not only the possible positive result, but also inevitable losses at the current stage of economic development. One of the main vectors of development is the neo-industrialization of the economy as an alternative to the formation of a post-industrial economy, providing for the possibility of domestic industrial enterprises to enter new, progressive levels, defining neo-industrialization as a current trend of the current stage of economic development. The transitional stage from industrialization to neo-industrialization is the process of reindustrialization as an economic policy, which is quite a complicated task. The creation of a new industrial paradigm implies a gradual transition from the raw-materials directedness of economic development to an economy based on the use of high-tech productions of domestic industrial enterprises. It is concluded that the transition to new technological foundations, the entrance of industrial production to new, progressive levels of development define neo-industrialization as a current trend of the current stage of economic development of domestic industrial enterprises.

Improving the System of Indicators for Estimation of Financial Status of Domestic Enterprises Producing Medicines In Line with Requirements of the International Standards of Financial Analysis (p. 236 - 244)
The article is concerned with the problems of implementing the requirements of international standards in the national practice of estimation of the financial status of producers of medicines. It is specified that the purpose of financial analysis of the enterprises producing medicines is to obtain an objective estimation of the financial results of their activities, to define the financial status on the basis of the system of key indicators, to define the current financial stability and prospects for its change. It is determined that the system of indicators, which exists in the national practice of financial analysis, in some directions is significantly different from that used by foreign financial analysts and investors. Thus, the most essential discrepancy is the lack of a market value estimation of a company in the national practice, as well as the presence of a large number of indicators used in evaluating the financial sustainability and business activity of pharmaceutical enterprises (FE). In order to unify the system of financial indicators used and to bring the national practice of financial analysis of FE closer to world experience and the IFRS, using the content analysis, the appropriate sum of financial indicators, allowing to estimate the liquidity ratios of the domestic FE, their financial stability (leverage ratios), profitability (profitability ratios), business activity (efficiency ratios) and market value (market value ratios) has been defined and recommended for further application. It is determined that in terms of liquidity indicators and business activity indicators, the domestic FE are at the level of foreign FE, and in terms of the market value indicators - at a much lower level, which indicates their low market position compared to foreign pharmaceutical companies, and, accordingly, the lower potential for development. The introduction of the proposed approaches in the practice of financial analysis of domestic enterprises producing medicines will contribute to greater transparency of their activities and investment attractiveness for foreign investors, also allowing to more objectively assess their competitiveness and potential of market development.

Improving the Methodology for Assessing the Security Level of Financial and Economic Interests of an Enterprise (p. 245 - 252)
The aim of the article is to improve the methodology for assessing the level of security of the financial and economic interests of the enterprise. It is substantiated that in order to achieve this goal it is necessary to calculate the amount of profit before tax, which is not enough to state the fact of satisfying the interests of financial solvency and sufficiency of profit. The relevant components of this security are differentiated. The classification defined in the article makes it possible to more objectively select security indicators and, on this basis, qualitatively integrate them into the general system of assessing the security of the financial and economic interests of the enterprise. As indicators were chosen a model for predicting the probability of bankruptcy – to assess the level of security of financial solvency, and the absolute value of profit – to assess the level of security of profitability. The testing of the above proposals has been carried out. For this purpose, we used the actual data of PJSC Zaporizhzhya Iron Ore Plant for 2003–2018. It was revealed that during the analysis period the plant did not achieve neither very high nor high level of security of financial and economic interests. Often the level of this type of security at the plant was low or minimal. The stated methodology is of practical importance, since it allows the express method, in the presence of public access information, to assess the level of security and, on this basis, make appropriate managerial decisions. The proposed approaches can be used both within the enterprise – to assess its own security, and to determine its level relative to various groups of contractors. Prospects for further research in this direction are the identification of the relationship between the security level of the financial and economic interests of the enterprise and other factors of its internal and external environment, as well as the development of appropriate management measures.

Formation of Parametric Constraints on Compliance with Development Safety and Enterprise Life Cycles (p. 252 - 258)
The article is aimed at substantiating a methodical approach to the formation of parametric constraints on compliance with development safety and life cycles of enterprise. It is noted that in a status of uncertainty, variability, loss of controllability, the process of making managerial decisions as to the forward-looking actions related to the development of enterprise is complicated. But the enterprise’s ability to develop depends on the stage of life cycle that the enterprise undergoes within a certain period of time. The present research defines the main positions of the theory of economic cycles, the place and role of characteristics such as crisis and development. The place of the enterprise’s life cycle in the system of crisis management has also been defined. The methodical approach to the formation of parametric constraints on compliance with development safety and life cycles of enterprise is substantiated. The key stage of the methodology of the formation of parametric constraints on compliance with development safety and life cycles of enterprise is building up a matrix, based on determining a multi-criterion integral indicator of the level of safety of the enterprise’s development, taking into account the stage of life cycle and the level of crisis in the appropriate period of time.

The Methods for Evaluating the Economic Behavior of Industrial Enterprises in the Context of Neo-Industrial Modernization (p. 259 - 265)
The article is aimed at analyzing the methods for evaluating the economic behavior of industrial enterprises in the context of neo-industrial modernization. It is defined that in the context of neo-industrial modernization, industrial enterprises need to respond quickly to changes in the internal and external environment and have to constantly adapt to new conditions in order to survive. Changes taking place in the external environment naturally cause the emergence of new principles of management of the economic behavior of industrial enterprises. Under such circumstances, the requirements for an economic behavior management system for industrial enterprises are one of the most important criteria for evaluating the performance of their economic activities. The influence of the external environment requires more attention in studying the processes taking place around an industrial enterprise, making it necessary to develop adequate actions for long-term development. It is defined that different methods are proposed to evaluate the efficiency of management of the economic behavior of industrial enterprises, which should be used in a complex and be adapted to the conditions of neo-industrial modernization. An analysis of existing approaches to evaluating the efficiency of management of economic behavior of industrial enterprises has shown that, despite the diversity of methods proposed, there are a number of challenges. It is noted that in order to improve the efficiency of the enterprise’s performance, managers need to make specific and adequate management decisions related to improving the very structure of management of the economic behavior of industrial enterprises.

The Methodical Approach to Assessing the Economic Security in the Implementation of the System of Economic Interests of Air Transport Enterprises (p. 217 - 222)
The article is aimed at forming a methodological approach to assess economic security in the implementation of the system of economic interests of air transport enterprises, which allows to detect risky states and further on make managerial decisions on avoidance of losses and prevention of their occurrence. Building up an efficient system of economic security in the conditions of uncertainty due to influence of the external environment and conflict of interests of economy entities is possible on the basis of modern scientific and practical approaches. Under such conditions, the need to develop new methodological approaches to assess economic security in the implementation of the system of economic interests is increasing. Formation of the system of economic security based on the detection and prevention of threats to implement the economic interests of enterprise is based upon: a methodical approach to the identification of risks, estimation of them; determining the factors of influence on the formation of the risk to economic interest; forecasting the impact of factors on the condition of sustainability, stability, enterprise development; formation of management actions to prevent the negative impact of risk factors and assess the results of implementation of managerial actions; calculation of efficiency of the system of economic security of enterprise. To bring the assessment values to one qualitative expression, the Harrington scale has been applied, which essentially simplifies the perceptions of the obtained as a result of evaluation of the performance indicators of the domestic air enterprises («Aviation Company Ukraine International Airlines» PRJSC, «Motor Sich» PJSC, «Windrose Aviation Company» LLC, «YanAir Airlines» LTD) and identifies the dangers and risks in the system of economic relations of air enterprises and their stakeholders.

The Comprehensive Assessment of the Security Level of Development of Metallurgical Enterprises: Methodological Aspects (p. 223 - 231)
The article is aimed at developing a methodological approach to an integrated assessment of the security level of development of metallurgical enterprise on the basis of a comprehensive coefficient approach with practical approbation. It is specified that domestic metallurgical enterprises are not able to compete with the foreign both western and eastern producers of metal products, which are using the latest technologies. Introduction of innovative technologies and equipment will provide opportunities to positively develop domestic enterprises. Unfortunately, not all metallurgical enterprise management systems are able to introduce innovative technologies for further development. A methodological approach to the integrated assessment of the security level of development of metallurgical enterprises on the basis of integrated coefficient approach is proposed. The proposed methodological approach provides the possibility to: identify problems of activity of individual enterprises; closer define the content and stages of information collection, formulation of goals, priorities and directions of the security management of their development; comprehensively assess the level of security of development and the level of risk of development taking into account the components of the resource base of the metallurgical enterprise, its activities and stages of life cycle; assess and summarize the ability of metallurgical enterprise to adapt in different transformational conditions. In the course of the research, the methodological approach to an integrated assessment of the security level of development of enterprise was applied in practice – on the basis of activities of metallurgical enterprises of Ukraine. 23 Metallurgical Enterprises, which operated for a long time, were selected for assessment. The source information for carrying out the analysis of activity and assessing the security level of development of enterprise was their public reporting. The analysis of the life cycle of enterprises showed that most of them were at the stage of maturity, and despite the prevailing situation, they had sufficient and average levels of security.

The Financial Diagnosis of Crisis in Garment Enterprises: Segmentation by Size (p. 172 - 179)
The article is aimed at defining the causal relationship between the size of garment enterprises and the depth of the crisis on the results of financial diagnosis. The article segmented twenty-three garment enterprises with over a ten-year period of activity. Based on the processing of the financial and economic indicators, it is proposed to divide into groups by asset value and sales volume in order to diagnose crisis in garment enterprises as follows: small – up to 2 million UAH, medium – from 2 to 10 million UAH, large – more than 10 million UAH. Small garment enterprises, which have a clear tendency to reduce assets and/or sales, are the most likely to experience a crisis, abandoning garment activities in favor of leasing real estate, machinery and equipment. The greatest ability to counter crisis is demonstrated by medium in terms of both size and sales garment enterprises, which have the ability to quickly adapt to changes in the external environment, as well as to cover losses of activities by owners to maintain financial competitiveness in the face of strong growth and expansion of the share of the garment market. Factors in preventing a crisis in large garment factories are compliance with structural development rules: exceeding sales growth rates over the growth rate of expenditures and assets, proportionate build-up and renewal of production capacity on an innovative basis. In forecasting the type of financial sustainability as to garment enterprises, it is necessary to take into account the average historical data, the trend of complex assessment and its latest level. The key indicators of valuation are: a slowdown in asset turnover, loss ratio of equity, presence of uncovered losses in the balance sheet, negative value of own working capital, low value of the ratio of coverage of stocks by working capital. Prospect for further research would be substantiating the methodical approaches to evaluation of money flows in the system of diagnosing crisis in garment enterprises.

Business Processes are the Basis for Effective Interconnections of Structural Units of Business of Diversified Enterprises (p. 180 - 190)
The difficulty of effectively managing diversified enterprises, especially at the corporate level, is the difficulty of establishing the best connections between its business units. Establishing optimal interconnections involves weeding out excess information and numerical repetition in a largely descriptive nature by combining only certain key elements of a particular phenomenon, depending on the conditions in which it is located, which reduces the time it is taken and improves their quality. Accordingly, the article is aimed at allocating the basic business processes of enterprise with the identification of key elements in their composition, which will ensure the identification of optimal points of contact to establish effective interconnections between business processes of different business units of diversified enterprises at a particular time. Using the historical method, the approaches of scholars to the allocation of business processes in the enterprise on certain classification characteristics are researched, features of each type of business process and the possibility of their use to establish optimal connections between the structural units of the diversified enterprise are determined. To simplify the research, the types of business processes considered using the element-by-element theoretical method are combined into certain groups in accordance with the directions of their formation. The basic business processes in the activities of the structural business units of the diversified enterprise are allocated using the abstraction, analysis, analogy and generalization methods. In the limits of the allocated business processes are defined, uniform for all enterprises, the components and key elements of interconnections of business processes of different types. The possibility of use of the proposed key elements of business processes as optimal points of contact in establishing effective interconnections between the various units of the diversified enterprise business by more detailed focusing on the features necessary at a certain time (duration, monetary means, resource spends, etc.) is proved.

It is determined that the development of enterprise is evaluated through economic growth (result) taking into account quantitative and qualitative changes (in certain space-time environments), where the potential, quality of management, innovation and orientation to the processes of continuous improvement (through the development of staff, improvement of the system of interaction, opportunities, etc. based on the use of modern technologies and management systems, support and expansion of the marketing business network and ensuring the reliability of partnerships to achieve economic goals) provide economic growth (result) of the enterprise. A graphic interpretation (model) of the enterprise development is presented according to the theory of cyclical development and taking into account the influence of innovation in the system of «kind of innovation as kind of development». It is determined that the level of scale and quality of the enterprise development depends on its potential and reserves for growth. It is identified that in practice there are problems related to the formation (build-up) and use of a system of indicators to determine the level of development of enterprise. Upon the results of the study and discussion, an improved economic-mathematical model of the enterprise development is presented, which, unlike the existing ones, not only takes into account the theoretical and applied aspects of the use of independent partial models of the enterprise development for management of development (namely, content, characteristics and values of the model of the enterprise’s ability to develop, the model of selecting the enterprise’s development strategy, the model of selecting the enterprise development vector, the model of selecting the basis of the enterprise development, the model of efficient management of the enterprise based on the introduction of the marketing mechanism and the model of the the enterprise development result), but also provides for a simultaneous multi-vector target assessment of many spheres of the enterprise’s operations (based on the use of a system of parameters, indicators and criteria of the system-oriented economic diagnostics) in order to determine its prospects. In particular, it includes the main directions and the basic instrumentarium for diagnosing competitiveness, investment attractiveness and enterprise development, taking into account the relationship of modern management and marketing.

Modern Practices of Procurement Logistics Management at the Enterprise (p. 200 - 205)
Procurement logistics is considered as one of the main directions of activity that influences the efficiency of enterprise. The works of economists on the topic of the research were analyzed, and different interpretations of the concept of «procurement logistics» were considered. It is specified that there is no single correct definition, but all scholars tend to think that procurement logistics is a set of activities aimed at providing the enterprise with material resources, choosing sources of supply, controlling the fulfillment of orders. Each stage of the enterprise’s procurement logistics is characterized. Particular attention is paid to the stage of selecting sources of supply, as it is up to the supplier to fulfill the objectives of both procurement logistics and the enterprise in general. A detailed research on this process allows to more effectively identifying the ways to improve logistics activities at the enterprise. The process of developing a logistics strategy is considered, when managers try to reach a compromise between the three main objectives of procurement logistics: reducing capital, reducing costs and improving the level of service. It is proposed to include some aspects of procurement logistics management inherent in one of the most prominent transnational corporations (TNCs) Nestl? in the activities by other enterprises to improve their efficiency. The TNC Nestl? has developed a Responsible Sourcing Standard that reflects the current tendencies in procurement logistics to find a reliable supplier and defines the criteria that the supplier must meet. The vectors of procurement management at the enterprise have been identified, which are universal and will allow enterprises to improve the efficiency of logistics management, as well as to minimize costs.

Theoretical Aspects of Costs Management in the Enterprise (p. 306 - 311)
The article is aimed at researching the theoretical aspects of enterprise costs management: researching the approaches to defining the nature of costs, classifying them, and applying principles, methods and management functions to improve the efficiency of managerial decisions. The essence of the concepts of «costs» and «management of enterprise costs» are researched. According to the results of comparative analysis it is defined that there is no single concept of these categories in the scientific literature, views on these categories among scholars are very different. The costs are classified, depending on management objectives, on three following directions: costs for defining the self-cost of production and gain of profit, valuation of stocks; costs for making managerial decisions and planning; costs for implementing the process of control and regulation. In order to improve the costs management process in the enterprise, theoretical bases of management are researched and supplemented as follows: principles, functions, methods. The principles are defined in accordance with the general management principles and the special principles regarding the costs of enterprise. These principles can serve as a basis and set the direction of the entire system of cost management, for each enterprise they should be defined in view of its features, both economic and organizational. The functions of costs management in the enterprise are proposed to be defined in accordance with such elements of the management cycle: planning and forecasting, organization, motivation, accounting and analysis, control. In order to improve the management of enterprise costs, consisting in a search for costs optimization and ensuring their planned level, the basic methods of cost management are considered. The following methods of the management of enterprise costs are researched: direct-costing, target-costing, kaizen-costing, benchmarking of costs, accounting by functions, LCC analysis, theory of limitations.

Evaluation of and Ways to Improve the Efficiency of Use of the Non-Current Assets of Enterprise (p. 312 - 319)
In the face of a persistent shortage of financial resources, bankruptcy and the liquidation of a large number of enterprises, the problem of ensuring the appropriate condition and management of the enterprise’s non-current assets and finding ways to improve the efficiency of this process is quite urgent. Given this, as well as the importance of assets as a constituent part of the enterprise’s resource potential, there is a need for a detailed analysis of the enterprise’s non-current assets, their technical status, as well as the researching the efficiency of their use. Efficient use of non-current assets is important both for enterprise and for the economy of the country in general, as it leads to a reduction in the need for putting into operation of new production facilities, to an increase in the output volumes of production (and therefore profits), accelerates the turnover of these assets and ultimately helps to reduce the gap in terms of physical and moral wear, accelerates the rate of renewal of fixed assets. When evaluating the efficiency of non-current assets, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of economic management activity, the form of ownership and the strategic purpose of enterprise. The article is aimed at studying the peculiarities of analyzing the non-current assets of enterprise on the example of one of the domestic enterprises. The tendency of changes in the structure and dynamics of the indicators of wear and tear, validity, renewal, disposal and return on total assets is analyzed. According to the results of the study, ways to improve the efficiency of use of the non-current assets of enterprise are proposed.

Efficiency as the Main Concept and Criterion of the Enterprise’s Activity (p. 190 - 195)
The article is aimed at analyzing the efficiency as the basic concept and criterion of the enterprise’s activity. The evolution of the concept of «efficiency of the enterprise’s activity» is considered, the views of researchers on the definition of this concept are systematized. Basically, the researchers suggest that efficiency is considered as a ratio of results to costs, or as a trajectory of operation of an enterprise. In order to carry out a comprehensive evaluation of the enterprise’s performance, it is proposed to carry out an evaluation on the following criteria: economic efficiency of production (level of satisfying the market demand, production per unit of resource costs, costs of a production unit); efficiency of labor use (labor intensity of a production unit, relative release of workers); efficiency of use of the main production funds (return on main funds, fund intensity of production); efficiency of use of material resources (material intensity of production, material output); efficiency of use of financial and investment means (working capital turnover ratio, duration of one turnover of standardized working capital, relative release of working capital, relative capital investments, investment per unit of introduced capacities, profitability of investments); production quality (economic effect of improving the product quality); financial and economic indicators (liquidity, solvency); efficiency of the use of assets (return on funds, turnover of all assets). The results of the carried out research constitute the basis for the analysis of efficiency of the enterprise’s performance and the choice of the directions of its further activities. Prospect of research in this direction is the development of a methodical support for the choice of directions of the future activities of enterprise.

Aspects of the Performance Theory: Narratives, Coherent Effects (p. 166 - 174)
The article is aimed at suggesting and allocating the results of the authors’ researches on the current theory of the conceptions of narratives, cognitive projects and coherent effects as components of the SEE-management mechanism (as systems at the micro-level), in order to outline the prospects for their further development. Based on generalization of research results of the scientific works of both foreign and domestic scholars, conceptions of the aforementioned narratives are examined and supplemented by the authors’ own approaches. In particular, the trialektic paradigm construct of «narrative ? algorithm, cognitive project ? pattern» is supplemented with a constituent of the «evaluation results according to the indicators of coherence effects». This should provide a definite completeness and comprehensiveness of the mechanism of management of activities of enterprises. It is argued that the results of the study on narratives allows obtaining the necessary qualitative data on the content of the rules, norms of institutes, etc., which are impossible to obtain, analyzing solely statistical and other quantitative historical facts. It is confirmed that the narrative analysis is one of the useful methods of research, which allows to obtain realistic information about the functioning of the system. It is justified that the narrative analysis is one of the useful methods of research, which allows to obtain realistic information about the functioning of a system. It is emphasized that such information is knowledge, explaining repetitive economic actions, etc., which should become a compulsory component of the mechanism of management of modern enterprises. As a result of the study, it is grounded that an effective SEE management can facilitate the achieving of coherent effects between the mutually adjusted consequences of activities of a particular enterprise. The basic components of such management are highlighted. The prospects for further research are highlighting the applied aspects of implementing the results of the approaches proposed by the authors.

The Scientific-Methodological Aspects of Assessing the Efficiency of Innovative Enterprise Management in the Context of Achieving Sustainable Development Goals (p. 172 - 180)
The article is aimed at improving the scientific-methodological aspects of assessing the efficiency of management of an innovative enterprise in the context of implementation of sustainable development goals. The role and state of machine-building enterprises as the basis for the development of the national economy in the format of innovative ones is highlighted. For the first time, on the basis of a comprehensive approach, indicators for assessing the efficiency of management of an innovative enterprise (on the example of the machine-building industry) are elaborated in the context of the implementation of sustainable development goals of the 21st century. At the same time, the Conception of sustainable development is positioned as a synthesis of two most important ideas, i.e.: 1) development should be balanced, which involves solving economic, social and environmental problems and achieving an equilibrium between them, and this causes the overall level and quality of life of the population; 2) the current generation has a duty to future generations to leave sufficient reserves of resources (natural, social and economic) in order to ensure their level of welfare, not lower than the current one. It is proposed to supplement the elaborated indicators with three specific indicators of patent-licensing activity as a factor in improving the efficiency of management of the innovative enterprise in the context of economic, environmental and social aspects. In particular: 1) the number of security documents for intellectual property objects, in which the methods that reduce the production of individual goods or services (economic component) are patented; 2) the number of security documents for intellectual property rights, in which the methods of more environmental production of goods or services (ecological component) are patented; 3) the number of security documents for intellectual property rights, which patent ways to improve the efficiency of employees, that is, improving working conditions (social component). On the basis of formalization method and comprehensive approach, a universal format of results of evaluation of the efficiency of management of an innovative enterprise in the context of implementation of sustainable development goals is recommended. The result of its application should be timely elimination of problems, identification of causes and zeroing out consequences of ineffective management of the enterprise, which will lead to increased profits from innovation activities and efficiency of investments in environmental innovations, will form a safe environment, increase the level of satisfaction of vital interests of employees of the enterprise and the population in general.

Diagnostics of the Effectiveness of Development of the Machine-Building Quasi-Integration Structures in Ukraine (p. 188 - 197)
The article is aimed at diagnosticating the effectiveness of quasi-integration structures on the basis of domestic machine-building enterprises. The relevance of the research is associated with the slow development of the machine-building quasi-integration structures in Ukraine. 11 quasi-integration structures on the basis of machine-building enterprises were examined, namely: public union «Ukrainian Aerospace Cluster» (Dnipro); aerospace cluster «Mekhatronika» (city of Kharkiv); industrial park «Vinnytsya cluster of refrigeration machine-building» (city of Vinnytsya); corporation «Scientific park «Innovation and Investment Cluster of Ternopil region»; aviation cluster of the corporation «Ukrainian aircraft company» of the State-owned concern «Ukroboronprom»; cluster of radiolocation, radiocommunication and special instrument engineering of the State-owned concern «Ukroboronprom»; cluster of precision weapons and ammunition of the State-owned concern «Ukroboronprom»; armored cluster of the State-owned concern «Ukroboronprom»; Mykolayiv shipbuilding cluster; Zakarpattya automotive cluster (Uzhhorod); machine-building cluster «AhroBUM» (Melitopol). On the basis of the information available on the Internet and by means of the analytical on-line system YouControl, an economic analysis of participants in the clusters of the State-owned concern «Ukroboronprom» and «AhroBUM» was carried out. A diagnostics of the effectiveness of these clusters represents an argument for quasi-integration of other machine-building domestic enterprises along with the interacting firms and institutions. It is concluded that the slow development of quasi-integration processes in Ukraine is connected with the ignorance of entrepreneurs and the lack of methodological recommendations for the formation of quasi-integration structures.

The Elements of Methodology of the Economic Security Management of Enterprise (p. 204 - 213)
The article defines the structural elements of the methodology for managing the economic security of enterprise as a scientific ground for studying this process to form an outlook on their essence and identifying the possibilities of application in managerial decisions. The conceptions and theories of methodology of economic security management of enterprise are systematized according to its major functional subsystems – informational, financial, personnel, innovation and investment. It is determined that a significant place among the elements of the methodology of the process in research belongs to the system of management principles, among which a number of fundamental (generally researched) and particular (specific) principles are allocated and described. The system, functional, process, structural, situational (optional), optimization and behavioral scientific approaches to the management of economic security of enterprise are singled out and the possibilities of their implementation are defined. It is substantiated that the management process is often considered as an aggregate of functions, i.e.: certain types of activity, in the process of which the influence on the management object is carried out to achieve the set goal. With this in mind, it is proposed to use a functional feature to systematize the methods of economic security management of enterprise in accordance with the functions of forecasting, planning, analysis, evaluation, organization and control. It is specified that the proposed elements of the methodology of economic security management of enterprise are complementary and consistent. At the same time, it is noted that the choice of a specific element of the methodology of the research process depends on many factors of influence – the specifics of the enterprise’s activity, its resource capabilities, targeted benchmarks, time frame, the existing level of economic security. It is generalized that awareness of the need for skillful use of methodological basis in the implementation of such a complex and multifaceted process as the management of economic security of enterprise is the guaranty to its successful operating and a stable development in today’s conditions.

Formation of an Approach to Cost Management of Industrial Enterprise (p. 198 - 204)
The article analyzes existing approaches to cost management; system and process approaches are defined as the most applicable. It is determined that with both of these approaches the object of cost management is managerial actions and relationships arising in the process of formation of certain characteristics of the status of costs (compliance with the limits of the remuneration fund, consumption of raw materials etc.); the subject of management are structural subdivisions of the enterprise and responsible persons who carry out cost management procedures. The system approach considers cost management as a system in which a set of interconnected elements is allocated, there are links, mechanisms of interaction between individual elements, which help to achieve a certain goal, are determined. The process approach proposes to apply a management cycle to manage costs. Therefore, to improve the efficiency of cost management, it is advisable to apply dualism of approaches, for which it is proposed to combine system and process approaches. It is proved that the cost management system should consist of two subsystems: 1) the formation of a cost management system and 2) the functioning of the cost management system. These subsystems differ in such features as: purpose, tasks, functions, elements, mechanism of interaction. Two subsystems of the cost management system are connected as follows: the purpose of the subsystem of the cost management system formation is to develop methodological support for the functioning of the cost management subsystem. At the same time, the functioning of the subsystem of the cost management system is the management cycle: planning, accounting, control, analysis. This shows the implementation of the process approach to cost management.

Evaluating the Efficiency of Economic Incentives for Development of Shipbuilding Enterprises (p. 205 - 211)
A substantiation of economic decisions in the process of using incentives and adapting to changes on the part of management necessitates applying an integral target indicator for the development of enterprise. As a result of the research, it is proved that it is advisable to choose as such an indicator the value of the business, in particular by discounting money flows. It is substantiated that in order to evaluate the efficiency of stimulating the development of the shipbuilding enterprise, the application of the revenue approach appears to be rational. Both the Ukrainian and foreign experience of horizontal and vertical integration in shipbuilding is analyzed and it is proved that the formation of integrated diversified corporate structures is an urgent stimulus for the development of the shipbuilding enterprise. Some owners of shipbuilding enterprises of Ukraine use them to build a fleet for the needs of their other business: agricultural, metallurgical, etc. Certain enterprises become part of diversified companies engaged in ship repair and port activities. The efficiency of integration of shipbuilding enterprises should also be evaluated using business value indicators. It is necessary to determine the impact of incentives relating not only to shipbuilding, but also to ship repair, shipping, maritime and other activities – not only on a separate shipyard, but comprehensively on the entire association, a structural and functional unit of which the enterprise is. The effect of the introduction of incentives is determined on the example of shipbuilding and ship repair plant «Nibulon». Evaluating the impact of economic incentives on the proposed integral target indicator enables to establish the feasibility of implementing the overall strategy of the enterprise and facilitates the adoption of informed economic decisions both at the level of individual structural units and the enterprise in general.

A Classification of Factors Influencing the Level of Innovative Support for Sustainable Development of Enterprises (p. 249 - 256)
The article determines that a systematic approach to the classification of factors influencing the level of innovative support for sustainable development of enterprises is characterized by a comprehensive assessment of the identification of various objective factors. Knowledge of these factors, the ability to identify their impact on the innovative support of the enterprise can influence the level of application of a systematic approach under the influence of dominant factors, to create an effective mechanism for managing them. Since each indicator reflects a certain economic category and is formed under the influence of certain economic and other factors, the factors are hypothetical reasons that affect a number of indicators under analysis. In this sense, economic factors such as economic categories, which are reflected in the indicators, are objective in nature. It is concluded that the list of factors influencing the level of innovative support for sustainable development of the enterprise is always individual and depends on the internal capabilities of the enterprise to counteract the factors of potential threat. External factors characterize the general conditions of deterioration, but with proper management, perfect organization and qualified decision-making, the company has the opportunity to avoid negative impact on the level of innovation support for sustainable development of the enterprise, despite the significant impact of the external environment. It is specified that a bankruptcy situation is largely due to internal reasons, and primarily ineffective management. All other causes are the result of errors and ineffective managerial decisions. However, these classifications are not constant, they change over time, in particular depending on the stage of the life cycle of the market product.

The article is aimed at analyzing the external operational environment of machine-building enterprises in the context of economic security and identifying the prerequisites for motivational management of the economic security of enterprise. Nowadays, effective management of the economic security of enterprise is one of the established imperatives that provide for the sustainable development and protection of the enterprise’s interests in the face of the contemporary challenges. Industrial enterprises operate in conditions of constant uncertainty and variability, which contributes to the search for effective instruments to ensure the proper level of protection of economic interests of a particular economic entity and industry in general. The article analyzes some indicators of activity of enterprises of machine-building industry of Ukraine. It is concluded that, despite the reduction of indicators such as the share of the processing industry in the GDP of the country, the number of employed people in the enterprises of the industry and the number of enterprises, along with the other, equally important indicators, show growth. First of all, it’s a question of the growth of sales volumes, net profit and profitability, which indicates the existing potential of the industry to implement the motivational management of economic security, because it provides not only for satisfying interests of the owners of enterprises, but also of all elements of the economic security system. Prospects for further research in this direction are the definition of the main elements, stages and methods of implementation of motivational management of economic security at machine-building enterprises.

Management of the Financial Sustainability of Enterprise in the Context of Provision of Economic Security in the Conditions of Strengthened Integration Processes in the Economy (p. 245 - 251)
The article is aimed at substantiating the essence of the concepts of «financial sustainability» and «strategic management of financial sustainability» in the context of providing economic security in the conditions of integration processes in the economy. The relevance of the management of financial sustainability of enterprise is proved, which is connected with the need to find new approaches to financial sustainability management in the context of providing its economic security in the conditions of strengthened integration processes. It is proposed that the financial sustainability of enterprise be understood as such state of its financial resources, when a financial balance is achieved in the long and short-term periods and which on his part, in the conditions of strengthened integration processes, results in the properties of the enterprise manifested as a system that allows to adapt to the action of destabilizing factors through flexibility and complex formation and use of financial potential and thus protects the enterprise from the influence of factors of both the external and the internal environment. It is specified that strategic management of financial sustainability can be conceived as the influence of the managing subsystem on the financial potential of the enterprise in order to implement strategic plans in the conditions of integration processes in compliance with the optimal structure of financial resources, which is achieved by flexibility and adaptability to the destabilizing factors of influence. As result of the research, it is substantiated that strategic management of financial sustainability of enterprise is a dynamic set of the interrelated management processes: information provision of the financial sustainability management; analysis of the financial sustainability of enterprise and the related factors of influence; development and forecasting of development scenarios taking into account integration processes; implementation of the strategy for achieving financial sustainability; monitoring and control of achieving the strategy goals in the dynamic development of integration processes in the economy. Prospects for further research in this direction are the development of a mechanism for management of the financial sustainability of enterprise in the context of provision of its economic security.

The Theoretical Principles for Assessing the Efficiency of Use of the Export-Import Potential of Enterprise (p. 258 - 264)
The article discusses the actual theoretical problems of assessing the efficiency of use of the export-import potential of enterprise (EIPE). The complexity of socio-economic conditions of activities of industrial enterprises requires revision of the theory and practice of the management of export potential. The efficiency of export-import activity depends on the efficiency of the use of export-import potential at the enterprise, and this justifies the need to solve the problems of import substitution in the economy. The theoretical principles of the assessment of efficiency of use of EIPP are substantiated as follows: 1) the methodological framework for assessing the export-import potential of enterprises is substantiated, first of all, by the system of basic elements of assessment; 2) the objectivity of assessment depends on an adequate content model of the efficiency of use of this potential; 3) to carry out the assessment, it is important to substantiate a hierarchical system of indicators that reflects the elemental structure of export-import potential and their characterizations, as well as a system of criteria; 4) assessment of the efficiency of use of the export-import potential of enterprise is multidimensional and multicriterial; 5) the objectivity of assessment of the efficiency of use of the export-import potential of enterprise is determined by the corresponding mathematical instrument used; 6) effective managerial decisions are made on the basis of the results of an assessment of the efficiency of the export-import activity of enterprise. The substantiated theoretical provisions for assessing the efficiency of use of the export-import potential of enterprise contain the formed methodological framework of the assessment. The article also proposes a content model of the efficiency of use of the export-import potential of enterprise, which includes such components as: structure, elements, processes, mechanisms, types of EIPP, influence factors, indicators, criteria, results, costs, effect, efficiency. The presented improved theoretical approach to assessing the efficiency of use of the export-import potential of enterprise ensures its objectivity, adequacy and reliability.

Performance Indicators of Enterprises as Systems at the Micro Level: An Updated Paradigm in the Context of «Structure – System» (p. 210 - 215)
The article is aimed at outlining the possibilities of applying the conception of structuralism in order to interpret the indicators of the components (constituents) of the efficiency of enterprises as micro level systems in terms of the paradigm of «structure – system» taking into account the history of the origin and development of the mentioned conception. The article presents the results of a study of the evolution of concepts «structure» and «system» in the context of the relevant paradigm in view of improving approaches to management of the performance of enterprises. The interpretation of the above mentioned definitions by different scholars is provided; the author’s own interpretation of the concepts of «structure of performance indicators» and «system of constituent performance indicators» of enterprises activity are proposed. Methodological approaches to managing the performance of enterprises as complex micro level systems based on the above mentioned system of indicators based on the models of Burennikova (Polishchuk) – Yarmolenko are outlined. The structural-logical scheme of basic concepts in the paradigm of «structure – system» is proposed. The «model of interrelation» between the concepts of «structure» (quantitative and qualitative constituents of performance indicators) and «system» (as a multiplex, a set of interrelated elements, a complex of related performance indicators) is presented in a systematic approach of scientific cognition in order to more clearly identify the relationships between the studied concepts and related indicators with taking into account the system approach. It is emphasized that the lack of results of computations on certain components (constituents) of the specified system of indicators makes it impossible to create a holistic picture regarding the performance of enterprises. It is underlined that the improved by the author methodology of knowledge, measurement and evaluation of the performance of enterprises will contribute to improving their management and finding reserves for the development of enterprises as systems.

Financial Sustainability in the System of Ensuring the Economic Security of Enterprise (p. 81 - 87)
The article is aimed at further developing the instrumentarium to ensure the financial sustainability of enterprise as the basis of its economic security. It is proved that the economic security of enterprise largely depends on the financial component along with sustainability, solvency, liquidity, and profitability. The position, considered undeniable, is that financial sustainability constitutes the basis of security of enterprise and its ability to implement development strategies in the context of minimizing the impact of risks, threats and dangers. It was noted that the effectiveness of the interrelationship and mutual impact of financial sustainability and security of enterprise is reflected in its financial flexibility on the basis of the ability to change the volume and structure of sources of financing, as well as the directions of investment of financial resources under the influence of risks, threats, dangers of the internal and external environment. The state approach to the gradation of levels of financial sustainability and economic security of enterprise is proposed taking into account the retrospective, current and prospective nature of the impact of risks, threats and dangers on the activities of enterprise; the relevant instrumentarium of evaluation and management tools is specified. It is substantiated that modern approaches in managing the financial sustainability of enterprise on a securely oriented basis should be grounded on systemacity, processity, functionality and synergy. Prospects for further research in this direction are the substantiation of the indicator approach to assessing the level of financial sustainability of enterprise on the basis of taking into account the parameters of its economic security and the development of an instrumentarium for identifying both the existing and the potential threats and dangers.

Defining the Essence of the Concept of “Financial Security of Enterprise” and Threats to It (p. 87 - 93)
The essence of the concept of «financial security of enterprise» and threats to it is researched; their classification is provided. According to the results of a comparative analysis of the scholars’ definitions regarding the concepts of «financial security of enterprise» and «threats to the financial security of enterprise», the authors’ own definitions are presented. Financial security of enterprise is considered as an instrument that ensures the sustainability and security of enterprise in the process of implementing its development strategy from the internal and external factors, threats both in the current period of activity and in the future. A threat is a course of events of an external or internal nature, which affects the financial condition of enterprise and entails consequences of varying degrees of severity, the solution of which will require financial, time, labor costs. According to the results of the study of scientific definitions on the essence of financial security of enterprise, some features are allocated. Financial security of enterprise is understood by the authors as: a component that allows choosing and implementing a financial strategy; the ability of enterprise to independently develop and conduct a financial strategy; the result of managed processes, which ensures the acquisition to some extent of its financial freedom; the state of protection of financial interests of enterprise; the financial condition of enterprise; the ability to create and maintain financial conditions at the enterprise; the status of financial security with the ensured business processes. The authors’ own classification of threats according to a number of signs and types is suggested and considered: by the place of origin, by the type of origin system, by the degree of losses, by the possibility of forecasting, by the prospect of impact, by the stability of influence, by the consequences of influence, by the fact of influence, by the threat subjects, by the type of disasters. The research of the essence of financial security of enterprise and threats to it has displayed the complexity and diversity of these concepts. This is evidenced by an extensive range of definitions, each of which has its own characteristics. It should also be noted the absence of a unified classification of threats to financial security.

Effectiveness of the Functioning and Development of Systems: The Updated Approaches to Definitions of SEE-Governance (p. 94 - 100)
The article covers the issue of SEE-governance as a means of improving the effectiveness of the processes of functioning of complex systems in the context of «quantity/ quality» definitions. SEE-governance is carried out on the basis of measurement and evaluation of the components of the above-mentioned effectiveness, indicating possible regulatory actions to change the effectiveness of the functioning and development of systems. It is underlined that a special interest among scholars is caused not only by the problems of system development, but also by the states that determine the order of functioning of systems, known as attractors. The article is aimed at disclosing the role and significance of attractors as a basis for the formation of synergistic potential of SEE-governance for the further development of systems, as well as supplementing on this basis the methodology of the mentioned governance on the basis of the authors’ components of effectiveness by understanding of increments and decrements in the context of the «quantity/ quality» paradigm in the «growth/development» narrative – to clarify the algorithms of actions in the process of system management that seeks to develop dynamically. It is noted that the complex of the authors’ indicators of the components of effectiveness of the functioning and development of system in practice allows to form approaches to the assessment of the system states in terms of the above-mentioned effectiveness. This makes it possible to understand what adjustments and at what time of the system functioning should be made so that it operates and develops effectively. It is concluded that resultative, effective processes can serve as attractors capable of directing the development of the system in the right direction when a system is at the point of bifurcation.

Competitiveness of Enterprise: The Essence and Approaches to Definition (p. 100 - 104)
The article is aimed at generalizing the views of various scholars on the essence of the concept of «competitiveness» and allocating the properties and factors that characterize the competitiveness of enterprise. In modern conditions of economic development, of particular importance are the theoretical foundations of the conception of competitiveness, which should be based on the comprehensive approach and should be considered by means of this approach. The concept of «competitiveness» derives from the concept of «competition», which acts as an element of the market mechanism for regulating supply and demand; as a form of interaction between economic actors in the market; as an economic rivalry of individual producers for market share and receipt of an order; finally, as a mechanism for regulating the proportions of public production. In order to successfully operate in conditions of high competition in the market and to maintain the necessary level of competitiveness, enterprises and organizations master new types of services, introduce new forms of business, stimulate their employees and fight for the involvement of each client. When planning its activities, a company takes into account not only the needs of customers, but also the strategies of competitors. Based on the information obtained during the study of competition conditions, the company’s development strategy in the market is largely formed, and the general strategy of the enterprise goes the same way. Thus, a positive result in competition is achieved as a natural result of constant and competent management efforts. How positive this result will be depends largely on the competitiveness of the enterprise. The article discusses the essence of the concept of «competitiveness» as an economic category, analyzes various approaches to the definition of this concept and carries out an analysis of competitiveness of enterprise. Competitiveness is an important element concerning entering the market and keeping the enterprise’s positions at the market, especially in the context of pandemic and quarantine, so the topic under research is very relevant nowadays.

The Methodical Approach to Integrated Multi-criteria Assessment of Intellectual Capital (p. 281 - 288)
The article is aimed at developing scientific-methodological recommendations for the integrated multi-criteria assessment of intellectual capital. Achieving this goal requires solving the following tasks: analysis of the theoretical principles of intellectual capital; analysis of intellectual capital components; analysis of methods for assessment of intellectual capital; development of a multi-criteria model of integrated assessment of intellectual capital on the basis of program-target approach and utility theory. In line with the conception of management by objectives, as well as in accordance with both the systemic and the program-target approaches, the objectives of enterprise are formulated taking into account the growth, renewal and efficient use of intellectual capital. Based on the analysis of available publications, a classification of factors affecting intellectual capital is compiled. Using the structure of intellectual capital and graph theory, the «tree of purposes» of intellectual capital is built, which represents an unoriented, bound graph, the verticals (nodes) of which are purposes, and the ribs (arcs) are the links between them. A system of criteria – indicators that affect the achievement of the objectives is formulated. As a criterion for optimality of achieving the objective, it is proposed to use the multi-criteria utility function. It is noted that in order to assess intellectual capital, it is advisable to use the additive utility function, which makes it possible to compute the integral indicator of intellectual capital. This, in turn, allows to analyze the growth, renewal and efficiency of the intellectual capital of enterprise over a number of years, as well as compare enterprises with each other.

Substantiating the Hypothesis on Connection of Sustainable Development of Enterprise with Basic Unconditional Income (p. 289 - 295)
The article is concerned with solving the problem of ensuring sustainable development at the level of enterprise as determined by the UN, which is relevant not only at the local level of Ukraine, but also world-wide. The article is aimed at theoretical substantiating the hypothesis on the existence of a connection between sustainable development of enterprises and basic unconditional income (BUI) using general scientific methods of critical and logical analysis and synthesis, ascent from abstract to specific, abstraction. The BUI in the research is understood as regular cash payments in the amount of the real subsistence minimum to citizens of the State, regardless of their socio-economic status. It is substantiated that BUI is the socio-economic regulator of sustainable development of the region and at the same time an instrument for sustainable development of the enterprise to achieve social, economic and ecological balance. It is proposed to consider BUI as an integrating instrument for sustainable development of enterprises and regions, which will provide a vertical link between the goals and objectives of sustainable development to overcome poverty, hunger, opening access to education and self-development at the meso- and micro levels. The example of depressed economically mono structural mining regions and mining enterprises of Ukraine to be liquidated displays the complex impact of BUI on their sustainable development through the component of social development. A comparison of development in the presence and absence of BUI is made and it is identified that the BUI will allow to «mitigate» economic restructuring, level territorial differentiation, implement the policy of social corporate responsibility and public-private partnership at the enterprise. The question has been raised about which economic agent should ensure the payment of BUI: the region or the enterprises operating in the region and using resources that could be saved for future generations. It is proposed to consider the possibility of payment of BUI both from the budget of the region and from the funds of enterprises.

The Methodological Bases for Assessment of Competitiveness of IT Enterprises under COVID-19 (p. 295 - 301)
Information technologies are developing very rapidly themselves and are also developing the world. At present, the IT industry attracts specialists in various industries, «opens the door» to large international companies, makes it possible to create your own business. However, in order to become an experienced IT specialist and achieve your goals in this sphere, you first need to be trained. Thus, the sector of educational institutions in the sphere of information technology in Ukraine is quite saturated. There are both higher educational institutions of this direction, as well as special courses and schools of narrow profile for training of IT specialists. Educational institutions that can ensure the process of providing IT education online in view of the pandemic have a particularly advantageous situation today. Therefore, a study of assessing the competitiveness of companies in the IT education sector is an urgent problem. The article is aimed at improving the methodological instrumentarium for assessing the competitiveness of enterprises in the sphere of information services and modifying the algorithm for assessing the competitiveness of the enterprise on the basis of the introduction of the hierarchy analysis method of T. Saaty to determine the competitiveness criteria, which will allow to assess the preemptiveness of the criteria, one over one. As a result of the study, the need for practical use of methodological instrumentarium for assessing the competitiveness of enterprises in the sphere of information services is established. An authors’ own list of criteria for assessing competitiveness has been formed, taking into account the peculiarities of the activities of enterprises in this area. The competitiveness assessment process is proposed to be carried out by means of two methods: TOPSIS and VIKOR, in order to exclude possible miscalculations in the formation of the list of alternatives, and to coordinate the results of the assessment by introducing a concordation coefficient. Prospects for further research in this direction are the solution of the problem of forming a qualitative list of criteria, in particular, their ranking and constant adaptation to changes in the external environment, as well as issues related to a set of alternatives according to the scenario approach, which will allow optimizing the processes of strategic management of enterprises in the sphere of IT services that are most dependent on changes in the market.

Evaluating the Efficiency of Sales Management of the Trade Enterprise (p. 184 - 189)
The research is aimed at substantiating the methodological principles of evaluating the efficiency of sales management of the trade enterprise. This evaluating is carried out taking into account the objects of management and compliance with the general principle of determining performance indicators. To achieve the goal set, scientific approaches to determining the essence of sales management are generalized; the directions of this activity are determined; both the local indicators and the integral indicator of evaluation of sales management efficiency at the trade enterprise are substantiated. The research was carried out using methods of analysis, synthesis, abstraction and comparison, as a result of which the author’s own position on the essence and features of sales is substantiated. It is noted that the peculiarities of sales are the change in the forms of value and the transition of goods belonging to the enterprise into the property of the buyer. The content of sales management is defined as an aggregate of processes of planning, analysis and change of the system of sale of goods and services. To identify the efficiency of sales management at the enterprise, it is proposed to evaluate the sales system, sales department activities, sales channels for goods and services. To this end, both the local indicators and the integral indicator are substantiated. To calculate the latter, the use of the radar method is proposed, according to which the integral indicator is determined on the basis of the calculation of the relative area of the radar built within the evaluation circle according to a set of further indicators. These indicators have a wide range of applications, in particular, can be used to study the dynamics of efficiency and identify reserves of sales development at the enterprise, analyze the completeness of the implementation of functions and compliance of the sales management system with the target objectives of the functioning and development of the trade enterprise.

Theory and Philosophy of the Effectiveness of Enterprises as Systems: An Updated Look at Ways to Implement Functions and Management (p. 190 - 196)
The article is aimed at outlining the functions of the theory of the effectiveness of systems (in particular, enterprises) by essence, as well as substantiating the role of indicators of components of effectiveness therein under modern conditions of system development. The article covers some issues of the theory and philosophy of the effectiveness of the functioning of enterprises as systems on the basis of SEE-management as a means of improving the effectiveness of the processes of functioning of complex systems in the context of definitions of «quantity/quality» based on the measurement and assessment of the components of the above-mentioned effectiveness using the criterion of progressive effectiveness. The results of computations according to the models of indicators of components of effectiveness, taking into account the values of the criterion of progressive effectiveness, can contribute to the choice of the appropriate strategy for the development (behavior) of the enterprise (active, passive, active-passive, etc.). It is emphasized that SEE-management, which is based on the author’s concepts of components of effectiveness, is a means of increasing the effectiveness of the functioning of complex dynamic systems (by which we will understand the set of its subprocesses) taking into account risks in the context of the negative impact of the external environment, in particular local and global crises in the economy. The scientific novelty of the results of author’s content analysis and applied explorations of the author for more than 20 years is the description of the essence of axiological and other functions of the theory of effectiveness, as well as the addition of methodological functions of this theory with indicators of constituent effectiveness, which can facilitate the improvement of the management of systems of different types and hierarchical levels. The above indicated management can be carried out using such a modern approach as author’s SEE-management, for the implementation of which certain indicators are presented and the appropriate managerial SEE actions in cases of different situations with respect to various values of performance indicators is proposed.

The Theoretical and Methodological Principles of the Value-Oriented Approach to Business Management (p. 169 - 177)
The research is aimed at analyzing the value-oriented conceptions of business management and studying the possibility of their implementation in the activities of Ukrainian enterprises. The carried out analysis of the literature shows the considerable attention paid by the scientific community to the issue under research, since the use of value-based conceptions in Ukrainian realities is quite problematic due to a lack of understanding of their specifics and features. The publication carries out a chronological analysis of the interpretation of the essence of the conception of «business value» by various scientists during 2011-2020. The value of the business is a volume-based indicator, thanks to which it is possible to understand the further prospects of the enterprise development and its investment attractiveness. According to theoretical research, the value of business is understood as the value of invested labor and labor resources; as the results obtained by the company from operational, investment and financial activities; as an expression of the price at which the company positions itself in the market and can potentially be reorganized. The value-oriented management should be applied at all levels – from operational to strategic. It is determined that career growth, an effective system of motivation, exchange of information and knowledge are among the few factors that affect the formation of the value of enterprise. Among the methodological approaches that allow to conduct a thorough assessment of the value of business, attention is focused on earnings, value-based, market-based and optional methods. Prospects for further research relate to a more detailed analysis of the specifics of value-oriented conceptions and analysis of domestic market conditions for the possibility of spreading the value-based management approach among managers of Ukrainian companies.

The Current State and Tendencies of Development of the Enterprises in Ukraine According to Their Sizes (p. 82 - 95)
In the conditions of the formation of a market economy in Ukraine, a significant role is given to the development of entrepreneurship as the driving force for the intensification of the activities of economic entities. An analysis of the current state and tendencies in entrepreneurship development of Ukraine was carried out taking into account the criteria for the division of enterprises into micro, small, medium-sized and large in conformity with the legislation of Ukraine. The information base of the research was statistics published on the website of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine for the period 2010-2019. The article describes the dynamics for 2010-2019 of such indicators of efficiency of large, medium and small (including micro) enterprises of Ukraine: level of profitability (unprofitability) of operational activity of enterprises; level of profitability (unprofitability) of all activities of enterprises; proportion of enterprises that received net profit; structure of distribution of capital investments; number of enterprises; volume of sold products (goods, services) of enterprises. The structural distribution of indicators of efficiency of Ukrainian enterprises by type of economic activity for 2019 is displayed. With the help of econometric modeling of dynamics of the number of enterprises, volumes of capital investment and sold products of Ukrainian enterprises for 2010-2019, a trend equation (polynominal type) is built. Summarizing the results of researches, Ukrainian enterprises were divided into large, medium, small and micro enterprises by the value of performance indicators during 2010-2019. To characterize the level of riskiness of activities for each category of enterprises, variation coefficients for the performance indicators of Ukrainian enterprises for the period 2010-2019 were computed. The advantages and disadvantages of organization and functioning of enterprises of different categories are systematized. For the balanced development of the market economy, the need for cooperation and the formation of an efficient mechanism for interaction of all forms of entrepreneurship – small, medium and large, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages, is substantiated.

The Theoretical and Methodological Principles of Forming the Economic Security System of Industrial Enterprise (p. 95 - 101)
The article is aimed at improving the theoretical and methodological principles and formalizing the methodological provision of the processes of formation of a comprehensive system of economic security of industrial enterprises. The article analyzes the theoretical principles of interpretation and management of the economic security system of enterprises. In particular, it is defined that modern scientific define the economic security system as an aggregate of elements that provide protection along with threat assessment. The author proposes to consider the concept of «economic security system» as an aggregate of resource elements and functions for harmonization of interests, complexity, flexibility, interaction and coherence of space, which determines the economic efficiency of adaptability of units, management elements, subsystems and allows comprehensively and fully diagnosing risks and threats, potential deviations, as well as substantiating the cost of resources for the systematic provision of security of industrial enterprise. A functional-resource approach to the formation of the economic security system is substantiated. Internal incentives and motivators of the formation of the economic security system are formalized, which are disclosed through structural elements of the system and process flows in the internal environment of the enterprise. To activate the resource and functional elements, it is necessary to establish the goals of the system formation and formalize their species composition. This will allow to determine and substantiate the cost of security provision, minimization of risks and the instrumentarium of the organizational and economic security mechanism. The article describes elements of the security space, which include the resource and functional constituents, methodological means of diagnostics and regulation, as well as economic agents who are in contact with external actors. Motivators, strategic guidances and tasks of its development are defined as strategic elements of the economic security system. The formation of the economic security system of industrial enterprises should be based on the conceptual coordination of elements and functions in accordance with the subjective impact of the environment, as well as on strengthening innovation and integration processes and increasing the cost of preventive activities. The specified aspects are implemented through the instrumentarium of organizational management, which is formalized through the subjects, object, tasks and directions of ensuring economic security.

In the course of the research, the following methods were used: grouping – in determining the main forms of transaction costs based on existing classifications; generalization – when systematizing information on the identification of approaches to the assessment and measurement of transaction costs; structural and logical – to determine the place of transaction costs in the structure of the enterprise’s costs; analysis and synthesis – to substantiate the recommendations for displaying information on the level of transaction costs at the enterprise in financial statements. The main forms of transaction costs on the basis of existing classifications are researched. Information on identification of approaches to valuation and measurement of transaction costs is systematized. The place of transaction costs in the structure of the enterprise’s expenses is determined. Recommendations on displaying information on transaction costs at the enterprise in the financial statements on the basis of their occurrence in a certain sphere of activity of the market entity (transaction costs of operational, financial, investment activities) are substantiated, which represents the scientific novelty of the research. It is concluded that the institutional approach, in particular application of the theory of transaction costs before their valuation and preparation of financial statements, allows not only identifying possible solutions to existing problems in accounting theory and practice, but also seting fundamentally new tasks that require non-standard solutions. The practical significance of the obtained research results is to determine the impact of transaction costs on the efficiency of the functioning of market entities and substantiate recommendations for displaying information about their level at the enterprise in financial statements.

The article proves the decisive role of the oil and fat sector for the national economy. The current state of activity of processing enterprises of oil and fat industry allows to state that extensive directions of growth and development are almost exhausted for them, since there is already a tendency to exceed existing production capacities every year compared to available volumes of raw materials for processing. This is a consequence of an increase in the volume of oilseeds exports while at the same time insufficient capacity of production capacities of processing oilseeds enterprises. One of the measures that can partially solve this problem is the use by enterprises of the domestic oil and fat sector of such direction of development as diversification of production. Although it is advisable to note the presence of certain differences in the use of diversification between Ukrainian and foreign enterprises. The use of kinship diversification at oil and fat enterprises is associated with the transition from mono structural forms of technological lines of plants to the universal ones capable of working with various types of raw materials. One of the promising areas of diversification for domestic enterprises of the oil and fat complex is the market of oilseeds processing products, where only several companies currently operate. Also, the priority direction of diversification of the activities of oil processing enterprises can be the production of such a refining product as phosphate concentrate. Significant potential and reserve for the development and expansion of oilseed processing enterprises lies in the intensification of biofuel production, in particular the production of pellets. Also, an additional direction of diversification of activities of enterprises that produce and use pellets for their own needs can be the production of thermal energy, which is aimed not only at providing their own technological needs, but also at providing such services to others. Thus, by diversifying its activities, oil and fat enterprises are able not only to improve their technical and economic performance, but also to intensify and stimulate the further development of enterprises of other related and connected sectors of the national economy, accelerating their modernization and more harmonious integration into the global economic space.

Capitalization of Enterprises: The Theoretical and Practical Aspects of the Status and Process of Development (p. 273 - 283)
The article is concerned with disclosing the theoretical and practical aspects of capitalization of enterprises. According to the theoretical aspect, it is determined that capitalization is considered as a phenomenon (a state), process and economic relations. In general, capitalization of enterprises has to be understood as the accumulation of capital. In connection with the tendencies of humanization and socialization along with prevailing in economic relations of the concept of dynamic competencies, the components of capitalization include the capitalization of not only market, but also human capital, intellectual property, ecologization, image, business relations that correspond to the peculiarities of the new economy and are based on the investment activity of enterprises that contribute to the growth of their capital. In the practical aspect, the capitalization of enterprises is researched in relation to the assessment of its condition and development. In the practical aspect, the expediency of using the concept of capitalization as a phenomenon (a state) is proved. Using the method of multidimensional factor analysis, namely the method of the main components, a system of partial indicators of the assessment of the state and development of capitalization of enterprises as a phenomenon is substantiated. The main indicators are chosen by the specific weight of: real investments at the expense of the enterprise’s own funds in the total volume of investments; investments in fixed capital in equity; real investments due to depreciations of the enterprise in the total volume of investments; investments in advertising in terms of the total amount of investments in innovations; capital investments in tangible assets in the total volume of capital investments; investments in computing equipment and software in the total amount of investments in intangible assets; investments for innovations in the total amount of investment; investments for informatization in the total volume of investments; investments in intangible assets in the total value of non-current assets; investments in intangible assets in the total value of assets combined into an integral indicator of capitalization by the additive convolution method. Particular values of the integral indicator of the enterprise for a certain year characterize the state of its capitalization, and values of these indicators for a few years – the process of capitalization development. On the example of 19 enterprises, applying the cluster analysis, the enterprises are grouped into homogeneous groups to compare the results of their capitalization. As a result of the use of the specified methods, a significant impact on its development of new components of capitalization is proved – the capitalization of intellectual property, intangible assets, communications, which should be given the most attention in the process of managing the development of capitalization.

The Problems and Prospects of Improving the Economic Efficiency of Aviation Equipment Maintenance (p. 294 - 301)
The article is aimed at studying the problems and prospects for increasing the economic efficiency of maintenance of aviation equipment. The article defines that all parties involved in the process of production and operation of aviation equipment have both the same goals and multidirectional goals. The purpose of interaction of all stakeholders is to create an optimal program of maintenance, repair and renewal of aviation equipment. The cost-effectiveness of activities of airlines can be additionally increased by means of a flexible approach based on MSG-3 logic. Thus, aviation equipment will be idle for less time due to maintenance, as well as the cost of such maintenance will be reduced. Collecting and processing information about both a particular aircraft and a family of the same aircraft models as a whole allows to determine safe intervals for maintenance, repair and renewal without reducing the security indicators. The transition to the MSG-3 logic-based maintenance, repair and renewal program reduces the number of maintenance, repair and renewal works and, accordingly, labor costs, as well as expands the intervals of maintenance, repair and renewal, and increase the economic efficiency of both repair enterprises and airlines. Safe operation of aviation equipment is possible subject to the collection and processing of a huge amount of information from all onboard systems of the aircraft. Such information flow requires the costs for its collection and processing. However, the economic effect of maintenance, repair and renewal of aviation equipment according to the flexible methodology will bring additional advantages and opportunities to operating organizations. At this, the indicators of reliability and workableness of aviation equipment will remain at the proper level.

Applying the Market Multipliers to Valuate the Unprofitable Corporate Enterprises (p. 302 - 308)
A topical problem and a sought-after task is the assessment of value of the enterprise’s business and a value-oriented management of this business, which is of particular importance for diagnosing the financial condition of unprofitable enterprises, in particular debtor enterprises, at the stage of their financial sanitation and restoration of solvency. The relevance of application for unprofitable corporate enterprises of a common methodology for assessing the value of business with the help of a system of market multipliers is analyzed, which is then classified into groups, including the following: 1) earnings multipliers: «share price/earnings per share» (P/E), «price/sales – P/S», «value of business/sales» (EV/S), «value of business/profit from operating activities» (EV/Sales margin, valuates the enterprise according to the profitability of its core operations), and EV/EBITDA (estimation of the company’s total profit by all types of activities); 2) balance financial indicators: «value of business/balance value of assets» (EV/BV), «shares price/balance value of share capital» or «share price/balance value of net assets» (P/BV or P/BVE), «value of business/cost of buildings, machines and equipment on the balance sheet», or «value of business/value of non-current assets» (enterprise value/property, plant and equipment – EV/PP&E); «share price/net asset substitution value» (multiplier Q, or Tobin’s Q), «share price/net asset value», or P/NAV); 3) natural multipliers: price/volume of production, price/winning, etc. It is determined that each group of financial multipliers has advantages and disadvantages of its relevance to informativeness, and this must be taken into account when choosing multipliers for value assessment. The correctness of the choice of multipliers depends on the task of assessing the value of the share capital or the value of the business of enterprise in general. It is argued that the assessment of any enterprise or group of enterprises is a separate specific case that requires taking into account the key features of the enterprise activities. Taking into account such features, the correct choice of the multiplier and its modification is the key to obtaining a relevant assessment of the value of the enterprise. It is recommended to use a system from several multipliers for a relevant valuation of the enterprise, as well as apply several approaches to such a valuation. In case of valuation of the enterprise that is in the process of bankruptcy or systematically receives losses, the use of EV/S and EV/BV multipliers appears the most correct. To test the carried out theoretical-methodological analysis of the application of the market multipliers to valuate unprofitable enterprises, their application to valuate five unprofitable Ukrainian mines is presented, which serves as a verification of the recommendations developed in the work.

A Theoretical Substantiation of the Enterprises’ Participation Models in Achieving Global Sustainable Development Goals (p. 184 - 190)
The article is concerned with the relevant issue both for Ukraine and the world of achieving global sustainable development goals based on the participation of enterprises (businesses) in ecological conservation processes and improving social well-being against the background of economic growth. The article is aimed at presenting the results of a study of the theoretical substantiation of models of the enterprise’s participation in achieving the global goals of sustainable development. Based on the use of general scientific research methods, it was logically substantiated that under the participation of enterprise in achieving the global goals of sustainable development, it is necessary to understand the alienation of assets or the acceptance of obligations to implement projects that correspond to sustainable development in the internal and external environment. On this basis, it is proposed to distinguish between four models of enterprise participation in processes aimed at achieving global sustainable development goals: «Outsider», «Activist», «Contributor», «Active Contributor». These models are based on two important characteristics: the presence or absence of internal transformation processes in favor of sustainable development at the enterprise, as well as the presence or absence of projects for financing transformations in favor of sustainable development in the external environment. The substantiation of the company’s behavior models in terms of the implementation of the global sustainable development goals allowed to propose an interpretation of the sustainable development of the enterprise in terms of its participation in these processes. In the logical course of the study, the types of sustainable development of enterprise are substantiated as follows: «driver», «supporter», «integrator». It is proved that these types should be determined on the basis of the ratio of the enterprise’s participation in sustainable development due to its activity in transformation processes in the internal and external environment. An analysis of the compliance of four models of enterprise participation in the implementation of the global sustainable development goals with three types of sustainable development of the enterprise is accomplished. Further research will concern the effectiveness of a particular model of enterprise participation in sustainable development from the point of view of different stakeholders.

Problems and Ways to Increase the Efficiency of Inventory Management of a Trading Company (p. 191 - 201)
The article defines the economic essence of stocks from the point of view of domestic and foreign scholers, as well as in accordance with the legislation of Ukraine. It is specified that the main form of sale of inventory are independent wholesale and retail trade enterprises. The detailed classification of stocks, which is necessary to track the dynamics of consumer demand and planning rational volumes of purchase of products, which is important for ensuring uninterrupted sale, is considered. The main models and systems of inventory management are analyzed, such as the system with the established volume or size of the order, the system with a certain frequency of the order, the model of the optimal size of the Harris – Wilson order. The main tasks of inventory management at the enterprise are determined as follows: minimization of warehouse costs for storage of goods by accelerating the turnover of inventory; ensuring the optimal number of goods that can be sold in the near future and will bring profit. Thus, it was clarified that the main purpose of inventory management is to form and maintain their value at a level that allows for uninterrupted trade in each product at minimal cost. The process of choosing the optimal level of stocks is considered. An ABC- and XYZ-analysis based on commodity stocks of LLC «RUSH» is carried out. Recommendations for the management of different groups of goods are elaborated. It is defined that it is extremely important for any trading network to find the optimal combination between the costs and benefits of the selected level of inventories in order to determine what value of stocks for each product group or even a goods item is sufficient, as well as to choose the correct inventory management model for each category of goods.

The Current Approaches to Substantiation of Criteria for Evaluation and Selection of Suppliers (p. 201 - 209)
The article is aimed at studying the current approaches to substantiating the criteria for evaluating and selecting suppliers. The study of theoretical and practical aspects allowed to distinguish modern methods of selecting suppliers in the field of procurement logistics. It is identified that there are a number of basic and additional methods for evaluating suppliers. Almost every method can be used in combination with others. In addition, modern information technologies make it possible to optimize and rationalize the evaluation process. Despite the fact that today most companies are actively working in search of directions for optimizing the work of procurement logistics, only few of them managed to fully realize the potential of at least one of the areas of procurement optimization. At the same time, after analyzing their experience, it is possible to determine what skills and methods of work are necessary for the comprehensive optimization of procurement. The authors propose an improved algorithm for evaluating suppliers, which provides for the use of existing methods of evaluation of work and the most common criteria for the selection of suppliers, taking into account the integral assessment and distribution of indicators according to additional criteria for reliability groups in order to improve the procurement logistics system of enterprises. The basis of this algorithm was the conduct of an extended assessment on additional criteria, such as: the level of supply organization, the level of loyalty of the supplier, the level of perspectivity, while the integral indicator should provide for the inclusion of coefficients of relative significance of additional evaluations by independent experts and the criteria themselves.

The Methodical Approach to Determining Transaction Costs at the Micro Level (p. 280 - 286)
The article is aimed at developing scientific and methodological recommendations for quantitative assessment of transaction costs at the enterprise. Achieving this aim requires solving the following tasks: analysis of the theoretical foundations of transaction costs; analysis of the components of transaction costs and their classification; analysis of methods for measuring transaction costs; practical implementation of the proposed scientific and methodological recommendations. The methodical approach to the assessment of transaction costs proposed by the author includes three stages. The purpose of the first stage is to plan a complex of works that precede the conclusion of a contract and the contract itself, along with its support. It is proposed to use grid (network) methods of planning and management with the involvement of a group of experts to determine the list of works, their sequence and labor complexity. The content of the second stage is to calculate the cost elements in order to draw up an estimate of transaction costs associated with the list of works performed at the first stage. The third stage is related to the calculation of cost elements in order to compose the estimate of transaction costs associated with the support of the contract. Based on the existing methods of calculating costs at the enterprise (calculation of the cost of production, estimate of production costs), an estimate of transaction costs is proposed and an example of their calculation is presented. This allows to plan, calculate, control and analyze transaction costs at all stages of contracting together with their support. The problem of transaction costs requires further research in the direction of their separation, classification, analytical and synthetic accounting.

The purpose of the article is to generalize practical recommendations for improving the profitability of enterprise (through optimization and/or minimization of material, labor costs associated with the manufacturing of products, sales and management costs; improving the quality of products; the chosen cost control system; marketing policy, pricing policy, etc.). The tactical reserves of increasing the profits of enterprise (including: increase in production and sales of products; reduction of production costs; structural changes in the range and nomenclature of manufactured and sold works, services and products) controlled by managers of the highest and middle levels of a particular enterprise, and strategic reserves for increasing the profit of enterprise (access to new markets of goods; increasing profits for the sale of a unit of production; increasing the increase in the profits of a particular enterprise; increasing the quality of products) are examined. Traditional methods of improving the quality of enterprise products are generalized (improvement of production technology; use of high-quality raw materials and the materials in the course of manufacturing products; advanced training of production workers). The most common directions of increasing the profitability of enterprise, which are traditionally involved at enterprises and allow to increase the economic profitability of sales, are considered. It is indicated that the choice of directions should be preceded by comparing them with each other, assessing the probability of profit growth and risk level. The content of application and possible variations in the use of directions (methods, reserves) of increasing the economic efficiency of enterprises are considered. The authors research the directions (methods, reserves), capable of having the most significant impact on the formation of the company’s profits, thereby ensuring its economic security.

Enterprise Economics: The Updated Approaches to Benchmarking in the Context of Performance Modeling and Multidimensional Ranking (p. 79 - 86)
The article is aimed at deepening the theoretical foundations of benchmarking and substantiating applied aspects regarding the feasibility of its use in the activities of enterprises in order to make and implement managerial decisions to increase the competitiveness and effectiveness of the functioning and development of enterprises as systems. The article emphasizes that the main issue of benchmarking is to clarify the factors of more successful and effective activities of some enterprises compared to others. In this context, it is substantiated that the approach proposed in the article is conceptual in terms of the enterprise’s desire to better and improve the effectuality of its functioning and development. Decisive in the use of a certain method is the choice of a number of indicators that characterize the objects and processes allocated when using benchmarking. As such indicators are used the author’s own indicators from the models of the components of the effectiveness of process, characterizing any process both from a qualitative and quantitative point of view. Scientific novelty is the disclosure of the author’s updated methodology for the application of benchmarking on the basis of the results of the studied effectiveness of the processes of functioning of enterprises using the models of components of effectiveness with the above articulated purpose with the implementation of multidimensional ranking and the detection on its basis of a leading enterprise to enable constructive comparative analysis. It is proved that in an unstable external competitive environment, the need to develop vectors of strategic orientation of the enterprise for the best results with the help of the so-called «etalons», such as leading enterprises, are allocated by means of multidimensional ranking. Comparative analysis can facilitate the adaptation of the effectiveness of performance of individual enterprises to best practices.

Properties of the Economic Potential of Business Entities in the Paradigm of the Investment and Innovation Model of Development (p. 171 - 176)
The article examines the properties of the economic potential of business entities in the paradigm of investment model of development. The following main properties of economic potential are allocated: integrity; complexity; interchangeability and alternativeness of its components; relationships and interactions of the elements of the potential; ability of the potential to perceive elements of the latest and innovative accomplishments and achievements of scientific-technological progress; flexibility; class character; powerfulness. Characteristic features of the development of the potential of enterprises as economic systems are the following: the complexity of the task and the need for their study as an integral combination of different aspects; complexity of tasks to be solved; increasing the number of relationships between different individual objects; changing dynamic situation; deficit of resources; improving the level of standardization and automation of individual elements of the production and management system and the corresponding processes in them; globalization in a competitive environment, production, cooperation; strengthening the roles of managerial factors, etc. It is noted that the existing potential of an enterprise can be used with different levels of efficiency. This is confirmed by practical calculations, when an enterprise with high potential has low profitability, while an enterprise with a low, but effectively used out potential, is provided with fairly high performance. It is determined that if the company does not fully use its potential, the growth of investment resources will not increase its efficiency. It is emphasized that at the same time the economic potential involves the realization of potential opportunities, expressed in the achievement of economic effect. The economic potential of economic entity is an integrated assessment of the potential opportunities inherent in the resource potential, and their implementation to achieve economic effect. It is underlined that the economic potential of enterprise is characterized by both the availability of resources and efficiency of their use, as some organizations with the same potential differ in efficiency, and consequently – economic potential is higher in the enterprise that uses its capabilities more efficiently. Improving the level of competitiveness of enterprises, overcoming the negative consequences and situations in the current economic development, can not be determined without assessing the real potential.

The article discusses the role of current assets in ensuring the normal (efficient) operation of enterprise. The objectives of the article are: studying the theoretical foundations of the assessment of current assets and searching for relevant ways to improve the efficiency of the use of current assets as factors influencing the state of the enterprise, as well as the creation for managers of numerous economic entities of an information platform for making managerial decisions on the formation and use of current assets of enterprises during the wartime. The article generalizes the likely variants for the formation of the initial value of current assets (stocks) upon receipt. Methods for assessing current assets upon disposal are considered. Indicators for assessing the efficiency of the use of current assets are systematized, including: the ratio of current assets turnover; coefficient of consolidation of current assets; the duration of one turnover of current assets; return on current assets. In special conditions (conditions of wartime), business entities are recommended to use ways to increase the efficiency of the use of current assets in the following stages: formation of current assets and their use (according to the stages of the cycle). At the stage of procurement of current assets – by improving the organization of the supply of assets; at the stage of production of current assets – applying the reuse of production waste, improving product quality, reducing the duration of the technological (production) process, reducing the cost of fuels and lubricants (FLM) and other stocks; at the stage of product sales – the introduction of sanctions or deprivation of privileges for rejection / violation of agreements / contractual conditions for the supply and payment of inventory (inventories), the formation of sources of financing of current assets (own and attracted), a rational choice of payment terms for current assets. The main instrument for managing the efficiency of current assets of modern business entities is proposed to be considered marketplaces that solve the problem of accelerating the asset turnover. The article considers the types of marketplaces, the main parameters of marketplaces: the structure of marketplaces and their functionality.

The relation between the concepts of «economic security» and «competitiveness» is considered and summarized. It is substantiated that competitiveness are in close connection with economic security: an improve in economic security leads to increase in competitiveness. The views of researchers on the factors of the external and internal environment that affect the economic security of business entity are systematized. As result of the study, the views of various scholars were analyzed, identifying the factors that, according to the authors, have the greatest impact on the economic security of the enterprise. The importance of determining the factors is substantiated, because of their influence on the difficulties with the analysis and forecasting of activities, as well as the implementation of strategic management of the economic security of the enterprise. It is determined that efficient management in any field of activity can be carried out only under the condition of the formation of an integrated system of such management, designed to solve the main tasks. Therefore, a necessary condition for ensuring the viability of enterprises in a market economy is a successful set of strategic guidelines in the management of the economic security system, which prevents the destructive impact of changes in the factors of both the internal and the external environment of enterprise.

The Features of Assessment of the Efficiency of Industrial Enterprises in the Current Conditions (p. 126 - 131)
The article sets out the substantiations and practical recommendations for assessing the efficiency of industrial enterprises. On the example of assessing the efficiency of business entities of the public sector of the economy by type of economic activity in 2021, which is recommended to be calculated on the basis of applying the mathematical method of constructing an integral taxonomic indicator of development, and evaluating the efficiency of business entities of the public sector of the economy in the regional context, the advantages of its implementation technology have been justified. It is noted that in areas where there is a low level of efficiency of business entities in the public sector of the economy, it is necessary to develop programs that would systematically solve the problems of efficiency and its management. To develop these programs, the necessary step is to improve the information support for assessing the efficiency of business entities in the public sector of the economy on the basis of filling a single database of electronic reporting of business entities of the public sector of the economy and summarizing, consolidating relevant reports in accordance with the Procedure for submitting reports and information on fiscal risks to the Ministry of Economy. The assessment is recommended to be methodically implemented according to the following logic of the stages: 1) the formation of information support for the assessment in the form of a system of indicators, which has an official accounting basis; 2) selection of an analytical method for developing an integral indicator; 3) comparison of the achieved levels of values with the planned or regulatory, or reference ones for determining reserves and diagnosing critical situations; 4) determination of the influence of factors of the external and internal environment; 5) development of management measures to ensure the efficiency of activities. This logic of assessment has a scientific basis and is distinguished by objectivity and reliability.

Ways to Increase the Efficiency of IT Enterprise Management with the Help of Business Digitalization in the Conditions of Martial Law (p. 214 - 220)
In conditions of economic instability and during martial law, the choice of the right strategy for the development of enterprises plays a huge role in strengthening the company's position on the market. For enterprises in the field of telecommunications, it is important to choose a development path that corresponds modern trends in business digitalization. The purpose of the study was to substantiate the need for business digitalization as a way of increasing the IT enterprise management efficiency in the conditions of martial law. The article examines the ways of improving such management efficiency. Different approaches to defining the concept of "efficiency" are systematized, namely: functional (selective) approach; system approach; targeted approach; process-oriented approach. It is proposed to consider the management efficiency under the concept of quality of the organization of the management process through the coordination of the actions of management personnel to other personnel of the enterprise in order to obtain certain results, which allows you to clearly determine what caused the current state of the enterprise: a wrong strategy (caused by the fact that the goals were formulated incorrectly) or a non-rational use of resources. The main factors affecting the efficiency of the enterprise are analyzed. A characterization of the process of digitalization of the business of telecommunications enterprises is given. On the basis of the conducted analysis, the main ways and measures to increase the efficiency of the telecommunications enterprises activities in the state caused by military actions on the territory of Ukraine were considered. Prospects for further research in this direction are the formation of a road map for enterprises in the field of telecommunication services regarding the implementation of digitalization measures aimed at increasing the efficiency of operations in crisis market conditions.

The Current Scientific Approaches to Defining the Essence of the Concept of «Economic Security of Enterprise» (p. 221 - 228)
The article examines topical issues of formation of economic security of enterprises in the current economic context, which is characterized by a dynamically changing environment and an increase in the number and quality of threats. The implementation of stable activities requires strengthening of measures to ensure the economic security of enterprises in the strategic and tactical horizons to increase the competitiveness. A critical analysis of the exitant approaches to the definition of «economic security» using the system approach is carried out and the following types of approaches are identified: process (or activity); static (security as a state); integral (combining static and activity approaches); system (security as a system). It is proved that, depending on the stage of economic development, available productive forces and production relations, a certain sufficient level of economic security of enterprises, along with its sustainability and competitiveness in selected markets, is formed. Implementing a balanced effective management makes it possible to monitor the impact of negative factors on the enterprise’s activities, to develop preventive measures to eliminate and obviate their impact on economic security, and to ensure manageability of achieving the goals. The carried out study generalizes the characteristics of «economic security of enterprise». Its formation should be divided into short- and long-term perspectives, since economic security is an important component to fully provide the activities of an enterprise and optimize the use of available resources, and is the basis for ensuring future-oriented economic stability.

Interrelation and Differences Between the Categories of «Complex Monitoring» and «Strategic Analysis» in the System of Enterprise Management (p. 182 - 191)
The enterprise management system falls under dynamic fluctuations, accompanied by internal and external information surfeit and requiring the organization and implementation of high-quality analytical support for the management process. In this regard, the role and understanding of the essence of analytical tools, which will increase adaptability to the surrounding changes, is strengthened. Studies of the economic literature have made it possible to single out monitoring and strategic analysis among the most used analytical tools. The article conducts a detailed analysis of the essence of the concept of «monitoring» and determined that most scholars use it to replace the concept of «analysis». However, monitoring is a broader concept that combines various directions of analysis: production and economic, financial, investment, technical, technological, social, innovative, environmental, etc. and acts as its complex manifestation. Therefore, it is more expedient to use the concept of «complex monitoring», which is a more thorough and multi-vector analytical study that takes into account the results of various activities of the enterprise, which are formed under the influence of internal and external factors and serves as a basis for determining the directions of further functioning and development of the enterprise, including constituting the basis for strategic analysis. Complex monitoring essentially includes an analysis of the company’s activities over the past and current years, that is, it performs the tasks of retrospective and current analysis, which is the main difference from strategic analysis, which involves conducting analytical research for the future to develop a strategic plan and determine the development strategy of the enterprise. Despite the matter that the studied categories of «complex monitoring» and «strategic analysis» are not identical, they have a close relationship, since it is impossible to form a strategic plan for the development of an enterprise without the basis of complex monitoring, which ensures the effective implementation of strategic analysis and the correct formulation of its elements. Complex monitoring and strategic analysis occupy an important place in the management system, since they solve one of its main tasks – the qualitative formation of a strategic plan and a development strategy of the enterprise.

The Aspects of Improving the Supply Chain Competitiveness in the Context of Digital Transformations of the Economy (p. 81 - 89)
The article considers the issue of competitiveness of supply chains in the context of digital transformations and constant economic changes. The interpretation of the concept of competitiveness may differ depending on the object under study, therefore, in addition to the general definition of the concept of «competitiveness», an analysis of the concept of competitiveness of supply chains and competitiveness of the supply chain link in the contemporary literature is carried out and an own generalized definition of the concept is presented. Methods for determining the level of competitiveness used to assess the level of competitiveness of a product or enterprise are not always applicable to supply chains because of the specifics of their operation. The publication presents possible qualitative and quantitative methods for determining the level of competitiveness, such as: points method, rank method, integral assessment method, SWOT-analysis, heuristic methods, and others. Some of the methods, including the points method and SWOT analysis, have been adapted for supply chains and demonstrated in practical application using conditional examples for visibility. The characteristics influencing the competitiveness of the supply chain, in particular flexibility, reliability, efficiency, integration, have been allocated. Possible ways to improve these characteristics are provided. It is determined that improving the level of competitiveness of an individual link in the supply chain leads to an improvement in the level of competitiveness of the entire supply chain, and while improving the level of competitiveness of several links in the supply chain, a synergy effect can be observed in the context of competitiveness. In terms of competitiveness of the supply chain, it is appropriate to take into account the specifics of the functioning of the participant in the supply chain, its business processes, the number of incoming and outgoing material flows and flows of information. The article analyzes the last link in the supply chain – the last-mile logistics in e-commerce, which is gaining momentum in Ukraine, owing not least to the COVID-19 pandemic and the full-scale russian invasion in 2022. Ways to improve the level of competitiveness of the last link in the supply chain on the example of e-commerce are proposed.

The Methods for Analyzing the Liquidity and Solvency of Enterprise (p. 105 - 111)
Stable and efficient functioning of the enterprise and its development in the current transformational economic conditions is provided by liquidity and solvency, which require constant analyzing in the indicated economic conditions. The article analyzes the definitions of scholars regarding the essence of the concepts of «liquidity» and «solvency» of enterprise. It is determined that in the scientific literature there are no uniform universal definitions of these categories. It is also noted that these concepts are different in meaning, but interrelated. The following types of solvency are considered: current (short-term), which characterizes the current state of settlements at the enterprise on the basis of financial flows and provides coverage of current liabilities of the enterprise; prospective solvency, which analyzes the ability of the enterprise in the medium and long term to pay its obligations on time. It is specified that the essence of liquidity is disclosed in accordance with its functions, among which are the following: mobility, stability, attractiveness, control, and regulatory. It is also noted that in the scientific literature there is no general methodology for assessing liquidity and solvency. The article allocates the most popular methodical approaches to evaluating and studying these concepts in order to highlight problems and advantages in practical application. Taking into account the theoretical aspects of the assessment process, the following elements are allocated: object, subject, purpose of assessment, evaluation criteria, information base, methods, and assessment result. Among the methods for assessing the liquidity and solvency of an enterprise, the most commonly used are: coefficient method, which is based on the calculation of relative liquidity indicators; method with the inclusion in the analysis process, along with relative indicators, of the absolute indicator of current assets or an indicator of the amount of capital of the enterprise; solvency assessment method in accordance with the compiled payment calendar, which shows cash inflows in accordance with the sources of their formation, as well as reflects term liabilities for a certain time; method of analyzing balance liquidity, which consists in comparing assets that are grouped by degree of their liquidity and placed in descending order of liquidity, with liabilities on the credit side, which are grouped by maturity and placed in ascending order of these terms; method of analyzing the solvency and liquidity of the enterprise, including together external and internal analysis.

Improving the Analysis of the Enterprise Activities: The Assessment of Seasonal Fluctuations (p. 111 - 116)
Analysis of the enterprise activities allows to determine the peculiarities of the activities of a particular economic entity in accordance with the external and internal factors of its activities. Therefore, knowledge of methods for determining and measuring seasonal fluctuations, methods for forecasting demand and ways to solve problems related to seasonal dependence are very important. It is found that the activities of manufacturing enterprises, namely, enterprises for the production of building materials, have certain features. A consideration of the activities of a private enterprise in the current economic conditions prompted to carry out a study in terms of assessing the influence of structural factors on exports of products. It is proved that enterprises engaged in export activities with ceramic tiles are exposed to the influence of seasonal factors. The presence of dynamic fluctuations in demand requires enterprises to have knowledge and skills to use scientific methods for analyzing seasonality. Different approaches to the selection of a system of statistical indicators for assessing structural changes in output in dynamics have been noted. The expediency of using the index method, in particular seasonality indices, in order to measure the influence of seasonal fluctuations on the volume of exports of ceramic tiles is justified. The algorithm for estimating seasonal components on the volume of exports of ceramic tiles is determined. The size of export-import operations in the ceramic tile market during 2016–2019 is presented graphically; also presented is the seasonal wave of exports of ceramic tiles by a manufacturing enterprise and a seasonality index. Seasonal fluctuations in exports of ceramic tiles by a manufacturing enterprise were estimated according to monthly data during 2018–2022. The system of indicators based on seasonality indices is computed as follows: amplitude of fluctuations; linear mean and standard deviation to measure the effect of seasonal fluctuations. Some effective methods for improving the analysis of enterprise activity are proposed. The necessity of using the identified tendencies in forecasting the production indicators of enterprise is determined.

System Characteristics, Factors and Threats to the Economic Security of Enterprises (p. 162 - 167)
The article emphasizes the relevance of new research in the field of management of economic security of business entities, in the focus of which the leading role is assigned to the characteristics, factors and threats to the economic security of business. The purpose of the study is to generalize system characteristics, factors and threats to the economic security of enterprises. The internal factors that pose a threat to the economic security of enterprises are identified, namely, the structural deformation of the economy inherited from the period of "active reforms", the low competitiveness of the national economy, caused by the backwardness of the technological base of most industries, high energy and resource intensity, a high level of monopolization of the economy, a high level of inflation and others. The classification of threats to the economic security of enterprises according to such features as the degree of predictability, the lag of threat realization, spheres of life activities, the location of threats in relation to the socioeconomic system, the nature of occurrence, the dominance of the regional or national factor in the formation of threats, the degree of probability of occurrence, the factor of influence on the object. The levels of contradictions of the economic interests of the subjects of market relations are shown. It was established that the main task of the economic security of the enterprise is to prevent without special reasons actions that limit the self-organization and self-regulation of economic development and to promote the predictability of activity by means of diagnosing the most significant phenomena and processes for this. It is pointed out that the conditions of economic activity in Ukraine are fundamentally different from the conditions of more developed economies. In connection with this, in the domestic economy there are a number of factors characteristic only for our country, namely the non-obligation and irresponsibility of economic entities, the absence of real economic law, the dependence of a number of managers on the criminal world, the wide spread of methods of unfair competition and others. Accordingly, it was established that ensuring the economic security of the enterprise should be based on the unity of the goals and methods of the government economic policy, both at the national and regional levels.

The Features of Approaches to the Management of Working Capital of Enterprises (p. 168 - 173)
The aim of the article is to systematize and characterize the main scientific approaches to the management of working capital of enterprises. The article analyzes the provisions of scientific research related to the analysis of the indicated problematic area, on the basis of which the main approaches to the management of this category are formulated. The following approaches have been allocated and characterized: an approach to the management of working capital, associated with scaling up activities that ensure cost savings for enterprises – participants in logistics networks for the purchase of their individual components and ensuring the possibility of effective use of the latter (scaling approach); resource approach, based on aspects of resource theory, which provides for the possibility of forming a unique package of working capital, which affects the improved and competitive productivity of enterprises and their efficiency; an approach related to determining the features of management of working capital of enterprises within the framework of the benchmark for the cyclical circulation of its components (cyclic approach); an approach to the management of working capital of enterprises based on risk orientation (risk-oriented approach). It is proved that the orientation to the provisions of the considered scientific approaches is due to the characteristics of the organizational, financial and economic status, the attribute of the sector of activity, the period of functioning, and the size of the property of enterprises. It is determined that the achievement of optimal results of working capital management requires a constant assessment of the compliance of the selected approaches with the actual conditions of development of enterprises in the relevant sectors of the economy. It is determined that the choice of some of the analyzed approaches is associated with the assessment of additional factors of an external nature, in particular, it concerns the orientation toward the risk-oriented approach, or the scaling approach, etc.

Analyzing the Classical and Chandler’s Conceptions of the Cost Theory in the Long Run (p. 227 - 232)
The aim of the article is to study both the classical and Chandler’s conceptions regarding the cost theory in the long run and determine their differences. Proceeding from the current realities of increasing the role of new technologies and their impact on the competitiveness of enterprises, the article proves the need to introduce a new type of costs – «one-time» costs. The innovative essence of these costs is disclosed, which makes it possible to consider one-time costs as those that correspond to the intensive direction of expansion of production, as well as to separate them from conditionally fixed and variable costs. The possibility of the impact of one-time costs (as costs associated with the acquisition or development of new technologies) on the scale effect is also considered. It is proved that it is the distribution of one-time costs on the volume of production that allows the enterprise to achieve a positive scale effect much faster and minimize its costs. It is shown that the synergistic effect is an important component in strategic management and business development, but it can also be negative in the case when the interaction of factors leads to a negative impact or increases undesirable consequences. The article notes the reason for the absence of a negative scale effect in the Chandler’s conception, which explains the desire of many enterprises to merge. This desire is also explained by the existence of fixed and variable costs in the long run in Chandler’s conception, in contrast to the classical theory, where there are only variable costs in the long run. The possibility of further determining and applying the optimal structure and rate of change of one-time and conditionally fixed costs per unit of production in order to improve the efficiency of production and competitiveness of enterprises is considered.

The Theoretical Aspects of the Company’s Capital Structure (p. 232 - 239)
The article examines the concept of enterprise capital in view of the significant problems of the theoretical aspects of the capital structure. It is defined that the capital structure covers many aspects of not only financial, but also operational and investment activities. Theories of capital structure are considered. Four main theories are specified according to the evolution of the capital structure: the Modigliani and Miller theory, the peking order theory, the trade-off theory, and the agency theory. The authors substantiate such elements of the concept of capital structure of enterprise as: assets, debt, own funds, borrowed funds, profitability, financial sustainability, risk, financial reporting. On the basis of the carried out analysis of the main theoretical aspects of the capital structure of enterprise already studied by scientists, the most significant problems of formation of the optimal capital structure and the influence of age and size of enterprise on the construction of the structure are allocated. In addition, a separate role in the management of the company’s capital structure is played by its financial and investment policy. The capital structure is a powerful indicator of the impact on the ratio of return on assets and equity, determines the system of coefficients of financial stability and solvency and, ultimately, forms the ratio of the degree of profitability and risk in the process of enterprise development. In accordance with the specified circumstances, the main directions of improving the capital structure of the company are formulated as follows: improvement of accounts receivable; improvement of accounts payable; price management in interaction with suppliers; cost reduction; segmentation and credit risk analysis. As a conclusion, it is noted that the most important task of companies is to determine the optimal capital structure of the enterprise and its most effective use in order to improve the efficiency of the enterprise as a whole.

Diagnosing the Corporate Culture of Metallurgical Industry Enterprises in the Context of Innovative Development (p. 240 - 246)
The aim of the article is to study the features of the corporate culture of metallurgical enterprises of Ukraine in the context of innovative development. As a result of the study of four types of corporate culture – adhocracy, clan, market, and hierarchical – according to the CVF model of K. Cameron and R. Quinn, it was determined that adhocratic culture is most conducive to innovations, since it involves flexibility and is focused on the external environment. In turn, market culture emphasizes control and stability, which is a constraint on innovation. The authors propose a modified method for diagnosing corporate culture, which is based on the CVF model and provides for a system of 5-point scale for evaluating questionnaire questions by respondents. Using Microsoft Excel and SPSS Statistics V21.0 software, the authors analyzed the parameters of the corporate culture of metallurgical enterprises. As a result of the diagnostics, it was found that PJSC «INTERPIPE» and PJSC «Tsentralnyi Hirnycho-Zbahachuvalnyi Kombinat» are characterized by a clan corporate culture, which needs to be strengthened to the desired indicator. For PJSC «ZAPORIZHSTAL», PJSC «YUZHKOKS», PJSC «KAMET-STAL» it is expedient to change the type of corporate culture from market to clan. It is proposed that the strategic vision of the development of metallurgical enterprises should be changed in the direction of innovative development, digitalization, smartization of production, the use of energy-saving technologies, the Internet of Things, etc. It is also necessary to use training activities and seminars to develop the creative potential of staff and intensify their participation in the development of green innovations. Taking into account the European integration course of Ukraine, it is expedient to change the principles of doing business related to the European Green Deal. The proposed recommendations can be used to improve the mission, strategic vision, corporate culture and its values for metallurgical enterprises. Prospect for further research in this direction is to determine the interdependence between the type of corporate culture (clan, innovative, market, hierarchical) for metallurgical enterprises and the processes of greening and digitalization at enterprises.

To the Question Regarding the Study of the Investment Attractiveness of Enterprise (p. 246 - 252)
The article systematizes approaches and outlines the advantages and disadvantages of existing methods for assessing the investment attractiveness of enterprise in order to present itself in the most profitable way to a potential investor, which in the future will allow to maintain the appropriate level of competitiveness, increase the level of intellectualization, increase the number of innovations integrated into production. Attention is focused on the fact that enterprises that are interested in investments should be well aware of what information and in what form they need to submit to argue their investment attractiveness. It is noted that investment attractiveness as an economic value is characterized by a wide variety of indicators. The process of analyzing the investment attractiveness of enterprises should be seen as consideration of a multidimensional, multifactorial economic value, in which many independent indicators are interconnected. A necessary and important aspect in the process of assessing the investment attractiveness of an enterprise is to take into account not only its internal factors, but also external ones. It is proposed to include in the external factors those that do not depend on the enterprise as an economic entity the investment attractiveness of the industry and the region in which the enterprise operates. It is natural that investors are primarily interested in investing in enterprises with high potential, which are located in a promising region and in a rapidly developing industry, rather than in enterprises situated in depressed regions and in a stagnant industry. Separately, the importance of the ability to professionally and at the proper level substantiate the investment proposal provided to a potential investor is noted. Before attracting an investor, it is recommended to conduct several independent evaluations of the project, which could be presented to several potential investors. This will make it possible to understand and determine the real cost of the project and, if necessary, adjust the position of the enterprise interested in the receipt of investments. Four main mistakes that affect the low level of preparation of investment projects are noted: the project is at the idea stage; the project does not contain a marketing plan; there are no estimates of the profitability of the project; low quality of presentation of materials.

The Economic Essence of the Categories of «Costs», «Revenues» and «Financial Results» in Ensuring the Financial Sustainability of Enterprise (p. 231 - 240)
The article determines that in the process of management the enterprise seeks to ensure financial and economic efficiency, which requires increasing its financial sustainability through the coordination of the work of all divisions of the enterprise in order to achieve the best possible financial results. Analysis of the financial sustainability of the enterprise is an important element of financial management and audit, which is based on the indicator of financial results and the factors influencing its size and dynamics of change. Therefore, information on the scientific interpretation of these concepts was summarized. Taking into account the given variants of interpretation of the concept of «revenues» by economists, it is substantiated that most of them allocate economic and financial benefits as the basis of this category. At this, some of the scholars emphasize the relationship between revenues and the assets of the enterprise or the capital of the organization, as well as with the efficiency of production. Based on the results of the generalization of approaches to the interpretation of the category of «costs», it was concluded that almost all scholars agree that costs are expressed in both monetary and material resources. Moreover, some scholars additionally distinguish the financial and investment spheres in terms of cost formation. An important aspect in understanding the essence of costs is the interpretation of this category as a decrease in economic benefits in the future. Further, economists interpret the category of «financial results» in different ways. It has been determined that modern economists mainly distinguish the synthesized theory of profit, according to which profit is revenues from the use of economic resources (factors of production). Also, financial results can be considered in the context of the value of capital, or the monetary estimation of the results of the enterprise’s work, its profitability. Accordingly, summing up the approaches of scholars to the interpretation of costs and revenues of enterprise, allowing to calculate the financial result, it can be determined that the latter is a rather complex and multidimensional category.

Transparency in the Provision of Financial Sustainability in the Context of Digitalization (p. 231 - 239)
The aim of the article is to develop a model for the formation of a strategy for providing the financial sustainability of enterprise in the context of digitalization. The necessity of an effective operating system, which makes it possible to make the right managerial decisions in a timely and quick manner, using a certain set of methods and tools for their implementation, has been proved. As a result of the study, it is determined that the management of financial resources of enterprise is the key to its effective activity and determines the priority of ensuring the financial stability of economic entities, since unstable financial indicators of the enterprise’s operation reduce its solvency, hinder development and, in some cases, can lead to bankruptcy. The article determines that the strategy for ensuring financial stability in a broad sense is a program of step-by-step actions and measures in the system of development strategy, aimed at constant support of the sustainable functioning of the company’s finances in long-term development and the system of relations with the external and internal environment in the context of increased transparency, which leads to the achievement of the main goal. Taking into account the peculiarities and specifics of the operation of enterprises under the influence of transparency of processes in the context of digitalization and instability of the economy, a model for improving the strategy for providing the financial stability of enterprise has been proposed, which: contains a set of basic provisions that substantiate the logic of the process of improving the enterprise strategy; is situational in nature; has a set of factors influencing the dynamics of growth and the composition of criteria for considering alternative options for possible development scenarios and assessing the effectiveness of the strategy for ensuring the financial stability of the enterprise. Prospects for further research in this direction are the development of methods for assessing the level of digitalization of enterprise.

The Theoretical and Applied Aspects of the Formation of a Mechanism for Managing the Adaptive Development of Industrial Enterprises in the Context of Economic Transformation (p. 239 - 245)
The article discusses both the theoretical and the applied aspects of the formation of a mechanism for managing the adaptive development of industrial enterprises in the context of transformation of the economy. An analysis of the factors of influence has been carried out, the main of which is found to be the level of market prices for iron ore products, significantly depending on fluctuations in exchange rates. Taking into account the need to adapt the totality of operations in the foreign and domestic markets of iron ore products to fluctuations in the exchange rate, the principle of proportionality of income from exported iron ore products and those consumed in the domestic market is proposed. It is determined that the introduction of elements of scientific and technological progress in the activities of iron ore enterprises is a prerequisite for their successful functioning in today’s crisis conditions of economic management. The urgency of introducing elements of scientific and technological progress in the formation of investment and innovation potential, margin of financial strength, level of labor productivity, etc., of an iron ore enterprise has been proved, and the importance of the sales potential of economic entities under modern conditions has been shown. Among the numerous methods and techniques for mathematical calculation of optimized indicators, the most expedient appears the use of modeling through iterative variation of the exchange rate to optimize the volume of exports and domestic consumption of iron ore products. It is specified that, taking into account the need for a margin of financial strength and balance of production and economic programs, this approach is the most appropriate in determining the directions for improving the efficiency of using the resource and production potential of an iron ore enterprise. A model for maximizing income from the sale of products of an iron ore enterprise in the foreign and domestic markets has been proposed, on the basis of which modeling of the value of exports and domestic consumption of iron ore products has been carried out.

Mechanism for Managing the Transparency of the Development of Industrial Enterprises in the Context of Convergence of Investment Processes on a Synectic-Compensatory Basis (p. 246 - 253)
It is determined that under the current conditions of intensification of competition struggle between domestic industrial enterprises and increasing market pressure from foreign competing firms, there is an urgent issue of highlighting the process of managing development transparency as one of the most important criteria for efficiency of the activities. The mechanism for managing the transparency of enterprise development on a synectic-compensatory basis, which is implemented in the context of convergence of investment processes, is formed due to the complex reflection of the dynamism and variability of economic interests and parametrization of the effective process of their balancing in a dynamic model of formation and use of the development potential of enterprises and in the presence of high quality of managerial decisions in comparison with competitors, which provides industrial enterprises with a competitive position in the market and forms a sustainable level of their development. That is, the effectiveness of managing the transparency of the development of industrial enterprises in the context of convergence of investment processes will be determined by the ability of the management system to achieve the set goals, outlining the need for their systematic and analytical research. It is appropriate to assess the quality and efficiency of the management system at industrial enterprises through the construction of a balanced system of signifiers and indicators, which is the basis for assessing the effectiveness of enterprises’ operation and is aimed at achieving their strategic goals. The unity of the backbone basis of the developed management mechanism in accordance with the managerial efficiency is confirmed by the consolidation of the elements of its construction, which is actualized in the format of accumulation of changes as a reflexive reaction to the processes of transformation. This allows to comprehensively manage all components of transparency in the development of enterprises in order to increase their efficiency, optimal organization of investment, supply, production and sales activities of the enterprise, reduce logistics costs, provide production with the necessary material resources and their effective use, optimize material, financial and information flows.

Blitz-scaling in the Strategic Configuration of Enterprise Development Transparency Management Based on Digital Coherence (p. 249 - 257)
In the investment environment, which is formed under the influence of management processes in the real sector of the economy, a kind of «vicious circle» arises: the use of outdated, technologically backward production equipment leads to the production of products that lose both price and especially non-price competitiveness, which leads to a decrease in investment attractiveness and complicates the attraction of investment loans. The blitz-scaling strategy has become popular in various industries, including the technology sector. Companies, able to scale their products or services quickly, can find success in the market by means of a rapid gaining of a share. That being said, results may vary depending on the specific industry and market conditions. In recent years, the importance of digital transparency has become even greater due to the demands of society and the growing role of ethical aspects in doing business. Businesses that demonstrate openness and responsibility in the use of digital technologies can expect greater support and trust from customers, investors, and the public. Ensuring transparency and high standards of ethics is crucial to trusting customers and partners because of the ethical aspects of the use of digital technologies. The strategic configuration of enterprise transparency management based on digital coherence is not just a task for enterprises, but also a necessity for their success in the era of digital transformation. Consistent implementation of these principles will allow not only to survive in the face of change, but also to thrive, realizing its existing and hidden potential in a world where digitalization is becoming the norm. Building a model of strategic configuration of enterprise development transparency management based on digital coherence is an important aspect of successful functioning in the modern digital world. This is the basis for the development of strategic plans, which determines the vector of development, avoids differences in the understanding of tasks, contributing to the formation of a common understanding of the goal and ways to achieve it. All these aspects of building transparency in enterprise development through digital technologies pave the way for sustainable success and increased competitiveness in a rapidly changing business environment.
