THE DEVELOPMENT OF CORPORATE SECURITY IN THE CONTEXT OF COUNTERING THREATS TO DOING BUSINESS

The principal purpose of the study is to determine the main parameters of corporate security development in the enterprise in the context of determining the level of impact of external and internal threats. The study uses survey methods on the main internal and external threats that may affect the corporate security of enterprises. The purpose of the practical part of our study is to determine the level of these threats to corporate security. The methodological basis of our study is the method of expert evaluation, which was conducted by interviewing people involved in the process of corporate security management of enterprises, as well as methods of the hierarchical organization using matrices of pair-wise comparisons. The major results of the study can be considered determining the hierarchy of influence of each of the threats affecting the corporate security of industrial enterprises, which will allow optimizing the security system and directing its activities to more pressing issues. Our method of the hierarchical organization of threats to corporate security does not take into account the specifics of the corporate security system of industrial enterprises in most European countries and now can be freely implemented mainly in industrial enterprises of Eastern Europe. The proposed method of assessing external and internal threats is currently optimized for the activities of industrial enterprises in Eastern Europe, including Ukraine and Poland. In the following, at an expansion of the given research, there is a possibility of introducting this methodology to the enterprises of other countries or other profiles. The relevance of this study lies in determining the level of threats that affect the corporate security of industrial enterprises. The methodology for assessing the level of influence of these threats is universal, therefore it can be used in the event of a change in the main threats, it is extremely relevant in the context of rapid globalization changes in the world.

The Impact

This article analyzes the most current security issues for the Republic of Moldova that are part of the regional security context of Eastern Europe –the region that can be considered the epicenter of international tensions through which the„geopolitical line of fracture”passes. The geographical position of the Republic of Moldova makes this state particularly sensitive to any negative trends in theregion. Growing of international tensions creates security threats and complicates economic development. From a historical point of view, Moldova has repeatedly fallen victim by the confrontation of the great powers. Therefore, the Republic of Moldova has a vital interest in preventing a new conflict in Eastern Europe. This article is based on a number of assumptions made by changes in the European security environment, such as the „shift of weight” to the East, strategic uncertainty, increasing the role of non-state actors, the situation in eastern Ukraine, etc. Based on these assumptions, this article makes an attempt to outline the potential role of the Republic of Moldova in the Eastern European security system, taking into account the desideratum for integration of the republic into the European Union. Other relevant factors will be taken into account for shaping the role of the Republic of Moldova in the European security system, namely: the security deficit; the impact of NATO and EU security policy; the rebirth of the project to create a regional defense alliance, etc. This article will largely take into account the military aspects of security.

The Impact

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the evolution of top management’s understanding of product quality in Bulgaria since the end of communism. The study examines three specific areas: top management’s understanding of the term “quality”; top management’s understanding of the relationship between quality and business performance; and top management’s understanding of the impact of job position on quality. Design/methodology/approach The paper relies on a quantitative research approach by using data from a survey of 186 companies in Bulgaria. Findings The paper suggests that senior managers in Bulgaria continue to base their understanding of “quality” on a single approach (*a characteristic of the communist era), with the product-based and the user-based approaches currently being the two most common ones. At the same time, surprisingly enough, this study claims that senior management in Bulgaria is currently well aware of the importance of quality as a dimension of firm’s competitiveness, and is also highly conscious of its roles’ impact on product quality. Research limitations/implications The results of this study are exclusively based on the case of Bulgaria and must be treated with caution in the case of other former communist states from the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region. Practical implications This paper has relevance for both managers and companies doing business in Eastern Europe. Originality/value This is the first paper to provide detailed analysis of the evolution of the understanding of “product quality” in CEE since the end of communism. Moreover, this paper applies, for the first time, Garvin’s five approaches to defining quality within a practical context.

The article is aimed at improving the theoretical and methodological principles and formalizing the methodological provision of the processes of formation of a comprehensive system of economic security of industrial enterprises. The article analyzes the theoretical principles of interpretation and management of the economic security system of enterprises. In particular, it is defined that modern scientific define the economic security system as an aggregate of elements that provide protection along with threat assessment. The author proposes to consider the concept of «economic security system» as an aggregate of resource elements and functions for harmonization of interests, complexity, flexibility, interaction and coherence of space, which determines the economic efficiency of adaptability of units, management elements, subsystems and allows comprehensively and fully diagnosing risks and threats, potential deviations, as well as substantiating the cost of resources for the systematic provision of security of industrial enterprise. A functional-resource approach to the formation of the economic security system is substantiated. Internal incentives and motivators of the formation of the economic security system are formalized, which are disclosed through structural elements of the system and process flows in the internal environment of the enterprise. To activate the resource and functional elements, it is necessary to establish the goals of the system formation and formalize their species composition. This will allow to determine and substantiate the cost of security provision, minimization of risks and the instrumentarium of the organizational and economic security mechanism. The article describes elements of the security space, which include the resource and functional constituents, methodological means of diagnostics and regulation, as well as economic agents who are in contact with external actors. Motivators, strategic guidances and tasks of its development are defined as strategic elements of the economic security system. The formation of the economic security system of industrial enterprises should be based on the conceptual coordination of elements and functions in accordance with the subjective impact of the environment, as well as on strengthening innovation and integration processes and increasing the cost of preventive activities. The specified aspects are implemented through the instrumentarium of organizational management, which is formalized through the subjects, object, tasks and directions of ensuring economic security.
