Enterprise as an Object of Information Display
The approach to the broad concept of statistics of the enterprise is offered, having added its information components allowing using them for forecasting of results of its activity, using the device of modeling of its behavior. The definition of the boundaries of the subject area is based on the view of the functions, which most determine the behavior of the enterprise. The first of them proceeds from the fact that the enterprise, being a productive element of the national economy, is a form of large-scale commodity production, that is, the production of goods and services not for domestic consumption, but for sale in the markets; the second – from the fact that the enterprise is an independent economic unit, owns its assets and can enter into various kinds of liability relations, i.e., has behavior in a very real and empirically certifiable sense; and the third – that the enterprise is a system of collective action, ensuring the institutionalization of entrepreneurial functions of the enterprise in the economy. Analysis of «object state», «enterprise assets», «solutions of enterprise» and «the interests of participants of enterprise activity» are the central concepts in the analysis of the enterprise behavior is proposed to conduct in the context identified of the systemic aspects of its operation. On the basis of the proposed approach to the construction of the broad concept of enterprise statistics, a conceptual and terminological analysis is carried out and a fragment of the system of indicators reflecting the state of the enterprise as a technological element, as an independent economic unit and as a system of collective action is constructed.
