The issues of agro-industrial enterprises integration are within the sphere of strategic planning. The author's vision of the category «strategy» is presented, which is an expression of the organization intentions aimed at achieving pre-selected goals through the allocation of limited resources (between organizational units, functions, regions, products, technologies). The main difference between strategic and other types of decisions is distinguished, which is a high level of generalization of its components’ description. The purpose formation question in the enterprise management structure of agroindustrial pro-duction in the context of factors of internal and external nature is investigated. One of the regularities of goal setting in the agro-food industry is highlighted, namely the close connection of the micro-, meso and macro levels. Thus, the realization of the goals of agro-complex development is determined by the choice of the most effective forms of integration and organiza-tion of diversified business structures. A departure from the classical understanding of the integration mechanism as a pro-cess of combining basic competencies through mergers and acquisitions has been made. The imperative of strategic manage-ment of the integration structural parameters in the formation of territorial-branch industrial complexes is formulated - obtaining a positive synergistic effect. For the territorial-industrial production formation for agro-complexes such form of integration as a cluster is proposed. In this case, the territorial-sectoral production agro-food complex, organized in the form of a cluster, is considered as a socio-economic system formed by a group of diversified economic entities that interact with each other through the exchange of services, people, technical ideas and information and resulting in synergistic effects com-petitive advantages. The features of cluster structures are distinguished: uniformity of elements; presence of centripetal forc-es; fuzziness and mobility of borders, configuration and internal structure; community resources; availability of internal infrastructure. The most important area of agro-food complex strategic management in modern conditions is recognized by the strategy formation of a marketing interaction with the external environment. In this regard, we propose a scorecard that allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of a firm's marketing interaction with a supplier, which primarily identifies a block of cost-effectiveness indicators and a block of social performance indicators. Keywords: agro-industry, agrarian enterprises, integration interaction, integrated associations, clusters, manage-ment.

The article focuses on the application of process management models in industrial enterprises which best enhance their competitiveness and efficiency under the conditions of crisis development, increased risks, and uncertainty. The presented results of the study are based on the expert survey conducted among the heads and managers of Kuzbass machine-building enterprises on process-oriented management for the period 2015-2018. By interviewing 500 respondents – the participants of the conferences, seminars, round table discussions, and trainings held within the framework of various thematic exhibitions and fairs in Kemerovo and Novokuznetsk – the opinions of the managers and the leading experts representing 70% of the enterprises of this industry were analyzed and summarized to specify their perceptions about the organizations’ activities and identify the urgent management problems they face. The article raises the main problems of implementing process management in the companies identified and ranked by the authors in the questionnaire which are as follows: first, non-optimal organizational structure, the need to restructure it and adapt to the process model; second, insufficient staff skills and general knowledge of process management; third, lack of financial resources and high time consumption; fourth, unclaimed processes, weak linkages to performance and the need to reduce excessive vertical interactions in their implementation. The possibilities to improve management in machine-building enterprises are considered from the point of view of process management. Risk-forming factors have been identified and optimal methods of risk management have been justified to ensure the efficiency of business structures in the field of production, and mechanical engineering. Conclusions have been drawn on the possibility of applying such an approach in almost any organization under the conditions of standard management, as well as the need to create up-to-date methods of process management with the specifics of machine-building enterprises, to adapt modern software to the conditions of digital economy, and to improve the skills and retraining of the managers.

The article seeks to explore the contemporary issues of promoting brand integration in a merger process. It is suggested to consider the areas for enhancing the degree of brand integration subject to respective brand integration phases of particular business entities (low integration level – a crisis phase; medium level of integration – the phase of stabilization (verified by the presence of complementary effects from internal and external interaction); high level of integration – the growth phase (verified by the presence of synergistic effects from internal and external self-organization). The proposed pathways to foster brand integration within a merger process are sought to contribute to maximizing the degree of consolidation and diversification of available resources in integrated business structures. The use of an integration effectiveness assessment framework allows for zoning of synergetic effect manifestations, identifying the most probable directions for resource diffusion, boosting the territorial clusters complementarity as well as harmonizing the diverse integration and decentralization interests of business entities. Depending on the phases of business units brand integration, the brand integration principles in the context of a merger process have been specified. Apart from that, the relationship between different types of complementary and synergistic effects has been explored subject to a specific brand structure. The study findings have revealed the major barriers to brand integration within business structures which often trigger negative effects from self-organization, in particular. It is argued that to ensure a balance of the organizational and economic premises of integrated business structures, its baseline institutions, mechanisms and technologies should have a vast integration potential that will link individual elements of the system in such a way as to encourage synergistic and complementary effects to form a kind of a helix that attracts and draws individual brands together into innovation processes.

The object of research is the regional industry of Ukraine. In the sectoral context, the general structure of the regional industry is significantly deformed, and the strategic and sectoral guidelines of economic policy are blurred, which makes it difficult to restore the economic growth of the country as a whole. The industrial potential is concentrated mainly in traditional industrial regions. The development of industry is hampered by the worn-out state of the technical and technological base of production, a high level of staff turnover, an insignificant percentage of the production of high-tech products, a lack of institutions for innovative development, and similar factors. The complexity of the procedures for financing the processes of industrial development is mediated by the innovative activity of its subjects. The processing industry is the central center of innovation in the industry. Among the sources of financing for innovations, enterprises’ own funds prevail. It  is substantiated that the main directions of regional development of industrial enterprises in terms of financial support for their functioning are support and encouragement of innovation, measures to increase the competitiveness of industrial products, internationalization and support for exports. It is proved that the regions of the country unevenly use the mechanisms of investment support for industry, depending on the characteristics of the development of the regional economy. This necessitates the creation of investment mechanisms aimed at ensuring the management of the competitiveness of regional industrial complexes on the basis of the development and implementation of innovations. A multichannel investment mechanism has been proposed to ensure a full-fledged infusion of financial resources from several sources as an effective tool for financial influence on the development of industrial enterprises. It is noted that among the directions of development of industrial management should remain both traditional measures to support domestic producers (state regional purchases) and alternative (financial leasing, initial placement of securities, joint investment). For a separate direction of industrial development, it is recommended that state support of cluster interregional initiatives based on the use of leading European experience. The highlighted areas are relevant for potential foreign partners who intend to carry out joint business with Ukrainian industrial enterprises. Also, the indicated research results are significant in the process of attracting investments at the regional level and have practical value for foreign investors when they consider a portfolio of alternatives to foreign direct investment in Ukrainian industrial facilities.

Improving the efficiency of agricultural production and the competitiveness of agricultural products is impossible without the creation of professional teams with a high level of productivity. The formation and development of the personnel potential of the agro-industrial complex comes to the fore in the light of ensuring the country’s food security and solving the problems of import substitution. The development of the industry relies more on the creation of a vertical education system, the development of rural territories, etc. Compilation of forecasts for the staffing of the agroindustrial complex will coordinate the efforts of educational institutions, business structures, and authorities in organizing the training and retraining of personnel for the agricultural sector.

To date, digital technologies and their widespread practice have formed the potential for completely new business models. However, most organizations are either in the early stages of the digital transformation process, or do not yet dare to form a digital business model that will provide real benefits from digital technologies. In any case, taking into account the enormous pace of global digitalization, it is extremely important to adapt the best practices of digital transformation to the improvement of the Ukrainian economy as soon as possible. Based on this, consider the process of researching new and adapting existing management models. Digital transformation – the introduction of modern technologies to radically change the business models of enterprise management today is considered the most important topic for organizations around the world. The requirements of the new digital economy represent the digital transformation as a conscious strategic process of business modification through adaptive management and implementation of digital technologies, ie the restructuring of existing business models. The same happens at industrial and agro-industrial enterprises, the analog period of which is coming to an end. Industries are entering the digital age, thanks to which enterprises are developing in accordance with the new focus. For this reason, it is very important for the formation of digital models of enterprise management to strategically understand the possibilities of digital technology development in their connection with business processes and business models. The analysis of the main traditional models of effective management of enterprises was carried out and their fundamental differences from the Ukrainian approach to management were revealed, the possibilities of implementation of the principles of existing business models by Ukrainian enterprises were considered. In addition, a roadmap for the transition from a traditional to a digital enterprise was proposed for consideration. The process of modeling the digital management system of the enterprise is revealed. Currently, a prerequisite for the prosperity of the economy of industry and agriculture and, consequently, the economy of Ukraine, is adaptive digital management as a basis for economic security of the enterprise. It was found that the relentless introduction of digital technologies, «copying best practices» can later be in reality as dangerous as the refusal to master new technologies. Therefore, choosing the direction of your own digitization, you must first study everything thoroughly, so as not to miss the moment and not to remain in the ranks of the latter or in the past.


The most important characteristic of the economic activity of an industrial enterprise is the level of its financial standing. The higher this level, the more attractive is the company for shareholders, banks, service, raw materials and components buyers and suppliers, the more competitive its products are. In recent years, we have seen an unfavorable business climate both in Russia and around the world, which, on the one hand, forces some companies to cut costs or completely withdraw from the market, and on the other, it fosters companies’ attention to creative function, and not only in relation to the products being created, but also to the enterprise management model, the distribution and use of resources. In this connection, the possibility of using sourcing’s technologies in the issue of improving the financial stability of an industrial enterprise through the restructuring of its distribution model and the use of resources is of interest. To achieve this goal, we have used the sourcing’s maneuver model "higher utilization of production areas by providing outsourcing services". The development of proposals for improving the financial standing of the enterprise was carried out through the application of the "direct-hosting" system. In the present work, the authors developed proposals for improving the financial standing of an industrial enterprise through the application of the sourcing’s maneuver model. The results of this work can be useful for further scientific research in the field of economy of sourcing and development of the "direct-hosting" system. They can also be useful for managers of financial and economic units of large industrial enterprises. The developed proposals for improving the financial standing of an industrial enterprise through sorsing maneuver suggest the prospect of further scientific work in the field of forming methodological approaches for making managerial decisions.
