Purpose of the research. The article aims to develop methodological approaches to determining the integrated state and margin of economic security with regard to its provision. Methodology. The following general scientific theoretical methods are used in the study: generalization, explanation, grouping – to analyse economists’ and practitioners’ views on the object under study and draw conclusions upon analysis of primary sources; analysis and synthesis – to justify a new differentiated-integrated approach to economic security assessment; the matrix approach – to integrate the level of economic security and its temporal state and determine the margin of economic security. Results. The article presents methodological approaches developed to determine the integrated state of economic security of an enterprise. It is proposed to understand the integrated state of economic security as its value at a specific date of assessment determined considering the achieved level and temporal state of economic security at a given moment. The article presents a matrix approach to determining the current economic security and proposes an additional indicator of expediency of security provision measures based on the time criterion. The proposed methodological approach to determining the margin of economic security of the enterprise with regard to its provision is based on qualitative and quantitative approaches to its assessment. The approach involves comparison of the value of the level of economic security provision with the integrated state of security resulted from corresponding measures. Practical meaning. The use of the indicator of the margin of economic security with regard to its provision in practical activities of enterprises enables their management to consider beyond-control factors and on this basis make decisions on strengthening (acceleration) or, on the contrary, weakening and economy of implemented measures and programmes aimed to enhance economic security. Prospects for further research. Further research by the author is devoted to development of a methodology for determining the integrated state of medium-term and strategic economic security and, accordingly, identifying the margin of economic security that may occur when these types of economic security are provided.

The article analyzes concepts to determining the essence of the economic security management at an enterprise. The main features of identifying the effectiveness of economic security management at the enterprise are stipulated. The theoretical and methodological approach to determining the effectiveness of economic security management of the enterprise is proposed, which allows to identify the threats and predict their consequences, to provide internal balance in the enterprise activity and the compliance of its mission and strategic direction of the activity with its key interests. Moreover, it is proposed to use the matrix of comparing the level of the enterprise economic security (EES) and the total impact on the EES level in one of the scenarios (pessimistic, optimistic, and most probable), which allows to assess the effectiveness of the economic security management of the enterprises and provide recommendations to increase the latter, minimizing destructive effects of dominant threats in the context of certain functional components of the economic security.

The purpose of the research. The purpose of the article is to elaborate scientific and methodological approaches to providing economic security of an enterprise as a key component of its management. Methodology. The study applies general scientific theoretical methods – generalization, explanation, grouping – to analyzing economists’ and practitioners’ ideas about the object of the research and formulating conclusions of content analysis of primary sources, analysis and synthesis – to substantiating a new scientific approach to ensuring economic security of an enterprise. Results. Specific features of economic security of an enterprise as an object of management are taken into account as those revealing themselves in nonlinearity of links between its current level and the implemented set of managerial actions. To assess the results of ensuring economic security, its dynamic parameters have been substantiated including those of operational excellence as an internal prerequisite of its provision and market sustainability as an external form of manifesting internal systemic characteristics of a business. A methodological approach to assessing results of ensuring economic security of an enterprise is suggested on the basis on assessing the degree of correspondence of the above parameters (provision planes) to enterprises’ internal standards, industry averages and the best current business practices. Implementation of the suggested methodological approach to assessing the results of ensuring economic security in retrospective enables empirical confirmation of the fact that internal operating prerequisites and market positions of mining and metallurgical enterprises are determined by used/unused opportunities of the business environment for a certain period of time. Styles of ensuring the economic security of the enterprises under study are identified. It is revealed that the regressive style, which manifests itself in overestimation of internal standards with a dangerous degree of compliance with the best business practices is prevailing. It has been substantiated that its use puts the economic security level in a critically dangerous dependency on the market situation and, taking into account current trends in the economic and political environment, makes it possible to predict a decline in the economic security level of the enterprises under study in the near future: the global economic decline, increased protectionism on the markets, increased tax burden, increased environmental tax rates, etc. Practical importance. A scientific approach to ensuring economic security of an enterprise has been substantiated which integrates the strategic and operational levels of management and ensures minimization of the degree of inconsistency of the internal system characteristics of the business with stakeholders’ e requirements and trends in the external environment based on the use of opportunities for increasing value added streams in the context of permanent dynamic changes in the functioning of the enterprise. Further research is devoted to development of methodological approaches to taking into account the third plane of ensuring economic security – “stakeholder satisfaction”.

The study emphasizes that modern methods for assessing enterprise economic security do not take into account the degree of economic security of its stakeholders as well as the effects from the contractors’ security which reduce the effectiveness of actions aimed at ensuring the overall enterprise security. The purpose of the research is to improve the methodology for assessing the economic security of enterprise stakeholders as part of its overall economic security. To attain the research goals, the following scientific methods have been employed: generalization – to explore the views of economists in the subject matter of the study and summarizing the results of the content analysis of primary sources; analysis and synthesis – to interpret the major scientific categories of the research and specify the indicators related to stakeholders’ economic security. The article suggests a general framework of enterprise stakeholders’ economic security with a particular focus on the need to assess separately its degree and development stage. It is argued that stakeholders’ economic security is characterized by the degree of relevant indicators approaching their threshold (minimum necessary) values whereas the state of economic security of stakeholders (subject to their own resources, reserves and processes) is determined by the combination of specific conditions and settings of their environment and reflect the possibility to restore the adequate degree of economic security with regard to time and trends requirements. The study presents an improved classification of enterprise stakeholders’ economic security in terms of the dependence of their interests on the economic security of the enterprise. It has been proved that the assessment process should account for the internal (endogenous) security of stakeholders which depends on a particular enterprise and which can combine the security of personnel, owners and the territorial community. It is proposed to define indicators for assessing the degree and the state of internal economic security of this group of stakeholders taking into account the value of unexploited expenses, and the economic security index – with due regard to stakeholders’ security. For the first time, for this indicator it is proposed to take into account the effects of economic security of external stakeholders as shown using the case of financial and credit institutions and suppliers. An improved methodology for assessing the economic security of enterprise stakeholders will enable an isolated evaluation of this security type as well as take it into account when calculating enterprise economic security indicators. The above proposals offer a range of practical implications since they could be used by enterprise planning and economic departments for planning and designing a more effective approach to the selection of stabilization actions to enhance its business performance, in particular through developing a balanced policy of cooperation with contractors.

It is argued that the methodological backbone for assessing the degree of enterprise economic security is its hierarchical structure. The paper seeks to explore the existing approaches to building an enterprise economic security framework. It has been revealed that only few of them demonstrate a hierarchical structure, yet the existing hierarchies have certain limitations and offer areas for improvement. The purpose of the study is to develop a multi-level hierarchical structure of an enterprise economic security which, unlike the existing ones, would allow for a more objective assessment of the overall economic security as well as its separate elements with regard to both static and dynamic nature of economic security. To accomplish the objectives, the following research methods have been employed: generalization, reasoning, grouping – for analyzing various scholars’ views on the object of the study and drawing conclusions of the content analysis of primary sources; analysis and synthesis – for interpreting the main research categories and providing rationale for new elements of economic security. The paper provides insights to the principles of building a structure of enterprise economic security along with suggesting an improved hierarchical structure of the enterprise economic security model using the proposed multidimensional approach. The enterprise economic security concept is viewed from the two perspectives, in a wide and a narrow sense. An author's definition of an «enterprise» concept in a broad sense is provided. The broader interpretation of the enterprise economic security entails the aspects of stakeholders’ economic security affected by the economic security of the enterprise. The separate elements of the economic security of various groups of the enterprise stakeholders have been identified. The floating nature of the hierarchical structure of the enterprise economic security has been demonstrated. A particular case of the hierarchy that provides twelve levels of consecutive elements has been discussed. The proposed hierarchical structure of the enterprise economic security successfully accommodates its binary nature subject to its static and dynamic character. The findings verify that the suggested elements could be used to select indicators for assessing the overall economic security as well as its particular types. It is argued that the methodology for measuring the degree of enterprise economic security should rely on a comprehensive study of its elements and consistent integration of the results of their bottom-up assessment for each level of the hierarchical structure.

Goal. The goal of the article is to substantiate the theoretical and applied aspects of economic security complex assessment on the example of regional business structures with the use of the apparatus of mathematical modeling in Economics in modern conditions of business macro trends. The assessment of the state of economic security of enterprises is carried out through a system of criteria and indicators. The criterion of enterprises economic security is a measure of the state of the entity in terms of compliance with the established indicators of its activity with pre-established indicators reflecting the essence of economic security. On the basis of this goal, the question arises of solving such problems as: the possibility of developing a unified conceptual approach and tools for assessing the impact of indicators on the of regional business structures’s economic security; developing measures to improve the economic component of regional business structures. Research methods. Structural methods, comparative analysis of empirical data, abstract-logical generalization and mathematical modeling in Economics were applied to solve this scientific problem. Results. In the work on the basis of the methodological approach the model of assessment formation of the enterprise’s economic security has been grounded on the basis of impact of economic security indicators by means of logit and probit-functions. The model does not take into account group effects, that is, there is no analysis of fixed effects. In order to avoid cross-effects, when not only the variable itself influences the likelihood of a crisis, but the public crisis begins to affect the behavior of the variable, two groups of models are built: for the first group of regressions from the sample, all observations after the first year of crises are excluded; for the second group of regressions all data were used except for the crisis years after the first year of the crisis. Conclusions. The fundamental provisions of the scientific investigation will enable domestic regional enterprises to apply the algorithm of forming the economic security assessment of the enterprise using the apparatus of mathematical modeling in Economics.

Research background: Global competition constantly sets new goals for each state in the field of economic security. The globalization process covers all new areas of activity and technology. To ensure economic security, in addition to information and financial technologies, innovative technologies are joining. In order to manage innovative development, scientific and methodological approaches are necessary, which is the current background of this work. Purpose of the article: The purpose of the study is to analyze and evaluate the use of innovative technologies to ensure the economic security of Russia in the context of globalization changes. The objective of the study is a comparative assessment of the dynamics of innovative development of Russia and the leading countries at the global level. Methods: As a scientific and methodological approach to monitoring and analyzing the level of development of innovative processes to ensure economic security, based on a study of available statistical sources, it is proposed to use indicators - Global Innovation Index (GII) 2019. Findings & Value added: Globalization and economic security affect all aspects of the economy. Economic security can be considered as a process of maintaining a state, the signs of which correspond to economic security in the context of globalization changes. Global indices of innovative development make it possible to assess the level of development of modern processes in the field of economic security and determine strategic priority development vectors in the future in order to strengthen the country’s economic positions and competitiveness on a global level.


The article studies modern trends in the development of methodological foundations for assessing the value of enterprises as a component of effective management. The features of the application of each separate methodological approach to assessing the value of enterprises in the assessment process are determined. The characteristic of the generally accepted methodological approaches to assessing the value of enterprises, namely the profitable, costly, comparative approaches by highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each of them, disclosed the diversity of methods within each approach. It is the presence of the limitations of each approach that sets the vector for the further development of the methodological foundations for assessing the value of enterprises in modern economic market environment. Based on the analysis of recent research by domestic and foreign scientists there is expediency of using the integrated approach as a comprehensive methodological support for the process of assessing the value of enterprises is substantiated; it is a branched system of assessment methods. An algorithm for making decisions when carrying out the procedure for assessing the value of enterprises on the basis of an integrated approach has been developed, which allows you to combine a number of methods of various methodological approaches. This sequence of actions serves as a basic "link" between the stage of choosing methodological tools for assessing the value of enterprises and the stage of its implementation. The growing role of the integrated approach, which is reflected in the number of its application in economic research, this is clearly a positive trend in the development of the methodological foundations of the process of assessing the value of enterprises in modern economic conditions, because it implies obtaining more accurate results when carrying out calculations, and thus allows making the assessment procedure targeted, which corresponds to modern trends in the development of methodological tools for assessing the value of enterprises.
