The Use of Ergonomic Methods for Ensuring the Competitiveness of Business Structures

Abstract

Improving the competitiveness of business structures and developing a strategy for managing their competitiveness both in the long and medium term are the most important tasks for various economies of the world. It should be noted that the theoretical and methodological aspects of managing competitiveness are studied very one-sidedly. On the one hand, the issues of direct management of quality, cost, and various methods for optimizing them are well studied and continue to be studied by scientists. On the other hand, competitiveness is a complex concept, not reducible to the totality of its particular criteria, including ergonomic methods, namely, a systematic and comprehensive consideration of this problem and the relations formed around it have received insufficient attention. The purpose of the study is to develop scientifically based proposals on the management of the competitiveness of business structures.
