Methodical aspects of stability development assessment of enterprises

Abstract

Purpose. To clarify the definitions of concepts of "stability and stability of the enterprise". To identify the main factors that influence the sustainability of the enterprise. To form a system of indicators to assess the stability of enterprise development and to improve the methodology for this assessment on the basis of a balanced system of indicators. Methodology. The study is based on the methods of analysis and synthesis, methods of comparison, absolute and relative values, abstraction, analogy, design and construction. To estimate the stability of development of the enterprises, at forecasting of possible algorithms of their development, methods of grouping, correlationregression analysis, and variance are used. findings. The definition of the concepts of "stability and sustainability of the enterprise"is specified in the article. According to the authors, it is possible to identify these concepts, since the company cannot function separately from the environment. In addition, the stability and sustainability of the development of the enterprise imply a certain equilibrium of its state, or the ability to return to it, economic growth, i.e. the ability to accelerate the production and sales, to increase the efficiency of the usage of available resources, and so on. The main factors that influence the sustainability of the enterprise are identified, in particular: the changes in the system parameters, i.e. certain changes related to the components of the enterprise potential; the influence of environmental factors; the breach of communication within the enterprise itself, change in its structure. The strategic management of an enterprise based on sustainability of its development should take into account changes occurring in the business environment, evaluate the dynamics and make assumptions about the future state of the enterprise, possible pessimistic and optimistic scenarios of its development. The authors propose to evaluate the development of the enterprise on the basis of potential assessment, since the potential of the enterprise is the basis of its longterm development. The system of indicators of development stability estimation on the basis of the balanced system of indicators in the context of constituents of potential of enterprise is formed. The proposals for improvement of the methodology for assessing the stability of the development of the enterprise have been developed, and the methodology for assessing the stability of the development of the enterprise as a whole has been proposed. originality. The method for determining the integral indices of stability of enterprise development, which, unlike the existing ones, is based on the evaluation of development indicators in terms of potential components, is improved; the method of calculation of the integral index of stability of enterprise development as a whole is proposed. Practical value. The methodological principles of the assessment of the stability of an industrial enterprise's development and the results of the research can be used for further scientific developments in this area, as well as in the practical activity of industrial enterprises for the evaluation of the intensity of their development. The assessment of the stability of the enterprise development on the basis of the established system of indicators provides an increase in the level of validity of management decisions to ensure the development of the enterprise by taking into account all aspects of the enterprise activity and developing a strategy for its development.
