The article substantiates that the scientific research of any phenomenon or process is carried out in a certain sequence using a certain set of methods that depend on the direction and purpose of this study and determine its methodology. Methodology unites the object of research into a single whole with the help of structure, logic, principles, methods, tools and forms of scientific knowledge. The methodological bases of management of sectoral structure of economy are considered and concretized. All components of the methodology of management of the sectoral structure of the economy are grouped into three blocks: conceptual-essential, functional and effective, which are closely interconnected and interdependent.
The methodological approach involves the justification of the purpose and priority sectoral objectives at the appropriate stage of economic development, principles and mechanisms. When setting the goal, it is necessary to synchronize the priority sectoral tasks and priorities of economic development with the available resource opportunities of the national economy. To achieve this goal, tasks based on the concepts of structural change, innovation and inclusive growth were formulated.
It is proved that the change in the proportions of the sectoral structure of the economy is a consequence of structural changes. Structural changes are a consequence of the emergence of new sources of raw materials, products, production methods, the development of new markets, changes in the market situation in general. The interconnected processes of structural change that follow or are accompanied by economic development are called structural transformation.
The main methodological principles of the system approach in the study of the sectoral structure of the economy are highlighted. The subjects of management of the sectoral structure are considered, the mechanisms and tools of influence on the structural processes in the national economy are characterized. It is proved that the management of the sectoral structure of the economy is the content of the state structural policy. Structural policy is a broader concept and includes sectoral, sectoral and industrial policies. The greater the sectoral structure of the economy, the greater the role of the state in managing these processes.
