Today, the competitiveness of the national economy is one of the most influential concepts of development economics and practical policy, because it not only covers purely economic indicators, but also evaluates the economic results of non-economic phenomena important for stable growth, such as quality of political processes and governance. education, scientific base, rule of law, culture, value system, information structure. There are many scientific papers in the world that study the competitiveness of countries in the context of globalization. This problem was studied in detail by P. Krugman, E. Warner, J. Keynes, R. Barro, M. Porter, and J. Schumpeter. Despite such a large number of studies, the problems of forming the country's competitiveness still remain unsolved and not sufficiently substantiated. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the level of competitiveness of the economy of Ukraine and its regions, to identify factors that hinder development. Result. The key to Ukraine's high competitiveness at the international level is to increase the efficiency and productivity of the diversified national economy, which must be based on a strong technological, scientific and investment base. The current level of budget funding for education is devoid of investment, does not provide reliable development and modernization of education. Domestic business structures have not yet realized that investing in education is one of the most profitable areas of investment. The strategic task for Ukraine at the present stage should be the priority development of science and high technologies and active innovation policy. Innovation is the potential for economic growth. Conclusion. Only through the intensification of economic activity will Ukraine be able to integrate into the world community, ensure the necessary level of economic security and well-being of citizens. To ensure competitiveness, it is necessary to reorient financial resources from current consumption to investment and direct investment activities to the formation of an efficient national economy, in particular, to innovate investments, intensify innovation as a priority component of socio-economic development strategy.

Situation and value of the African continent on the economic and social cardmap of the world dynamically changes and will continue to change throughout all the 21st century with strengthening of the Africa positions in the world. In Russia all the complex of threats and problems which arise owing to political and economic transformation of Africa is not adequately estimated. The scientific literature on economic security issues presents an expanded set of internal and external threats to the national economy that goes beyond the traditional areas of the shadow economy, corruption, economic crime and related segments, including the internal economic stability of the national economy and inter-country competition, the quality of state strategic management, studies of the specifics of ensuring economic security in the conditions of the sixth technological order, intercultural communication and their impact on the economic relations between countries, etc. Incomplete use of such approach to strategy for the countries of Africa creates additional threats and risks for Russia. An analysis of security problems in Africa revealed that studies of economic security in the context of African development trends in Russia are conducted in an unsatisfactory volume, not always taking into account the results of new developments in the field of ensuring economic security. Even the large shifts happening on the African continent, forecasts of this dynamics sometimes are poorly known to experts of a profile of economic security, and many experts of an economic profile including working in the African subject often do not accurately distinguish problems of “economic cooperation” and “the Russian – African relations”, on the one hand, and “economic security of Russia” – with another. In this regard the new scientific problem is proved: need for deeper analysis of trends of economic and social development in Africa as an important component of a system of ensuring national economic security of Russia in the current period and in the future into account the new developments in the sphere of economic security. The main directions of activating scientific research and concentration of practical efforts to increase national economic security, neutralize threats and reduce risk for Russia in the designated context are formulated.

In the context of the interaction of international competitiveness of economic entities and their economic security, it should be noted that globalization of the world economy has one of its consequences a relative equation of the conditions of competition in national markets. As a result of providing by governments the most favored and national regimes, as it was required by international norms of legal regulation of the economy, national and foreign producers find themselves in roughly similar conditions on individual countries or their unions markets. In this case, foreign economic and international security should become a barrier to global threats for the development of national economy and its producers in the global system of world economy. At the same time, the universal requirement imposed on any national economic entity is its competitiveness.

The article proves that security of the national economy characterizes the ability of the country to withstand the destabilizing effects of various internal and external threats and to ensure its sustainable development. The study is carried out in the following stages: Diagnosing threats to security of the national economy → assessing the level of economic security of countries of the world → clustering countries of the world according to the level of economic security → modelling the impact of the national economic security on sustainable economic development of a country → forming measures to ensure security of a country’s economy. The basis for assessing the level of economic security of a country is a hierarchically constructed system of indicators, including composite, complex, and sub-indicators. The assessment of the level of economic security is carried out on the basis of international indices and rankings. The analysis of the correlation between the level of GDP per capita and individual indicators included in the composite indicator of economic security made it possible to identify those that should become the primary concerns of governments in order to enhance economic security as well as increase the level of GDP and ensure sustainable development of countries.

The modern state of the national economy requires significant changes at all levels. Industrial companies as one of the main elements of the national economy exert a great influence on formation of the well-being. So, it is industrial companies that should be developed. However, development is only possible provided there is a relevant control system, and in the modern economic conditions, innovative management forms and techniques for the development of industrial companies should be implemented. Together with multiple current management forms and techniques for industrial companies, implementing an innovative form that is based on opening theory borrowed from the chess game is proposed. Using this theory that unites mathematical and gaming methods of the management of development of an industrial company, an innovative model of the development strategy could be formed that would take into account antagonisms of socioeconomic relations. Opening theory has distinct advantages in the formation of the innovative development strategy for an industrial company. It takes into account multiples factors which influence the contradictions in the socioeconomic relations choosing the optimal decision by the min antagonism criterion in the initial phase. A material deficiency of the mathematical formalization of the socioeconomic problems is the result of their qualitative novelty and complexity.
