The paper explores the topical subject of modeling enterprise operations with the use of marginal analysis. The market economy is characterised by the heightened instability of the complex socioeconomic system, which is almost impossible to fully grasp and study. Businesses face intense competition. Adequate managerial decision-making requires in-depth comprehensive assessments of the situation and reliable forecasting. A firm that makes correct forecasts gains additional profit compared to one abstaining from forecasting. Meanwhile, a firm making an incorrect forecast loses most of all. Managerial decisions often rely on break-even analysis, i. e., marginal analysis. This paper explores examples where even in cases when disadvantageous choices are made (as shown by break-even analysis), the setting can still lead to positive results, i. e., at least a moderate profit, through the validation of the managerial decision by further analysis and calculations. The methods of enquiry, retrospective and document analysis, as well as synthesis, generalisation and systematisation were used.

Abstract This paper presents the outcomes of research on managerial decisions that were made as a first reaction to the economic crisis caused by the SARS-Cov-19 virus (the coronacrisis). The research was carried out among 116 companies from the water supply sector operating in Poland that includes water supply and sewage. The results indicate which elements were perceived by managers as key factors for survival and further functioning. It is clear that the most frequent managerial decisions made were reducing investments and sending employees for home office work, as well as prolonging the payment deadlines. Interestingly, investment reductions were accompanied by sustaining the R&D expenses, as the researched organisations desired to stay competitive and innovative right after the crisis. Only a few of the water supply companies decided to make workers redundant, as the majority declared the intent to protect the workforce, e.g. by sending employees on leave. The research has also shown that the companies approached the coronacrisis rather methodologically and systematically, which indicates a good level of managerial decision-making under pressure, overall enterprise preparedness for crisis situations, as well as staff involvement. Based on our research, we offer some recommendations concerning how the water supply sector organisations can prepare for similar crises in the future. Our research indicates that the decisions made had the following goals in mind: protecting workforce and sustaining cash flow, as well as securing competitive position after the crisis. Our research also focuses on the necessary decisions to be made in water supply companies before the next crises.

The main objective of this paper is to compare two key approaches in the !eld of Customer Accounting (CA), namely Customer Pro!tability Analysis (CPA) and Customer Lifetime Value (CLV). While CPA is a retrospective analysis of past accruals that represent the results of doing business with a customer over a certain, mostly single-period of time, CLV is a predictive measure of future customer-related cash "ows over a certain (multi-)period of time. This paper draws on the state-ofthe- art knowledge in the Customer Accounting (CA) literature to identify the impacts of CPA and CLV on managerial decision-making. It also offers recommendations as to the scenarios in which these metrics should be deployed in order to arrive at meaningful managerial decisions, and highlights their collective limitations.

The authors present their methodological recommendations for choosing a software complex to make managerial decisions within a corporation’s activity. They study the system of management in state-owned corporations and give reasons for its improvement by means of implementing IT-decisions. Digitalization is transforming managerial decision making process in corporations in accordance with the speed of decision-making, timely maintenance of production process, ways and forms of information transmission. The authors prove that top-management’s responsibility for a company’s competitive positions in the market is growing fast due to the more intensive implementation of information technology and continuous development of innovative decisions. As state-owned enterprises have a complicated interdependent structure, the system of their management becomes a process which should conform with conceptual basis and principles of transformation of a company’s activity within digital economics. The authors prove that suggested recommendations for using big data technologies, determining and implementing IT-decisions make it possible to increase the efficiency of the management system by means of optimizing business process.

The article is aimed at studying the essence of risk in the process of making managerial decisions, taking into account the behavioral approach and identifying the causes of risk occurrence. The article carries out a risk study structured in accordance with two dichotomies: risk/reliability and risk/danger. At this, the concept of managerial decision risk means a complex set of alternatives, during the analysis of which there is a need to make a decision. The opposite side in each case acts only as a concept of reflection, whose function is to clarify what in a particular case is emphasized in the risk per se: the problem of measuring accuracy in the first case or the degree of responsibility for the damage itself — in the second. As for both differences, it is identified that there is no risk-free managerial decision. It is proved that the concept of risk in the process of making managerial decisions, taking into account the behavioral approach, should be contrasted with the concept of reliability. The scientific approach to determining reliability is presented in the statement that absolute reliability is unattainable. The phenomenon of reasonable risk in the process of making managerial decisions is provided, taking into account the behavioral approach, which is part of the general problem studied by economists and is terminologically recorded as «justified economic activity». An element of such activity is the managerial decision-making. The risks that are likely to arise in the process of managerial decisions taking into account behavioral approach, at both the qualitative and the quantitative levels are studied. It is proved that quantitative study of risks identified at the qualitative level is the main purpose of risk analysis in accordance with the theory of decision-making in the presence of risk.

Evaluation of effi ciency of exploiting capital is an important part of a company’s economic activity. A reasonably formed system for monitoring effi ciency of exploiting the capital will provide the company with appropriate basis for managerial decision-making such as adjustment of scale and structure of investment and choice of sources of capital. When considering measures aimed at eliminating negative phenomena influencing the efficiency of exploiting business capital it is essential to use a complex of various analysis patterns to make perfect managerial decisions. The authors examine a complex of individual indicators which to their mind are essential to be used in analyzing efficiency of exploiting business capital in coal and mineral industry of Vietnam. The calculations revealed that a number of individual indicators which characterize efficiency of exploiting business capital for particular enterprises within the corporation of coal and mineral industry of Vietnam were significantly different from the average and showed considerable fluctuation. Therefore, development of measures to eliminate negative phenomena influencing the efficiency of exploiting business capital should include calculating both individual indicators and a generalized indicator (the evaluation vector) which could be used to study the character of their fluctuation as well as the values of the parameters under consideration.

This case introduces a unique approach to financial statement analysis that centers on managerial decision-making as the locus for student analysis. Rather than grouping ratios into traditional categories, such as liquidity, asset efficiency, profitability, insolvency and market ratios, ratios are grouped into operating, investing and financing decision-making areas. Students deepen their understanding of a firm’s strengths and weaknesses through a process of “drilling-down” into the three decision-making domains. The analysis begins with an examination of ROE using the Dupont analysis which provides a useful framework for focusing on the three core managerial decision making activities.  The case is constructed using real world information extracted from 10K reports and from recent company announcements. It can be used at the undergraduate (400) or graduate level. It is most suitable for a course in Financial Statement Analysis, or a course in Corporate Financial Management/Corporate Finance. The basics of financial statement analysis are necessary to successfully navigate the case.

Introduction. Despite the crucial importance of intangible components in the activities of modern enterprises there is an increasing the urgency of the problem of development of methodical tools for making managerial decisions aimed at the development of intellectual capital. Herewith managerial decision-making procedure should include task setting, intellectual capital diagnostics, and formation of a set of possible and optimal management measures. Purpose. The article is devoted to the technology of managerial decision making on the development of intellectual capital, taking into account the requirements of their economic efficiency, and paretooptimality. Practical approbation of the proposed procedure on the example of domestic industrial enterprises is a separate task of the article. Results. The results of a comprehensive analysis of the internal and external environment of the enterprise, the analysis of the efficiency of intellectual capital reproduction were taken into account. The author`s technology of managerial decision-making on the development of intellectual capital development includes 6 stages. The first stage forms target marks and budget constraints that determine direction of managerial decisions for each of the components of intellectual capital. In the third stage a number of possible management decisions is formed, which is then checked for paretooptimality. In the fifth stage, optimal managerial decisions are selected in terms of investment intensity of increasing in the level of intellectual capital development. At the last stage, the degree of achieving management targets is checked, than, if necessary, changes are made. Conclusions. Developed technology provides consideration of the peculiarities of the internal and external environment, targets and investment opportunities of an enterprise, and also allows paretooptimal and effective managerial decision making.

Managerial Decisions

The article proposes a model and method of making managerial decisions based on the analysis of geospatial information. The goal of the article is to improve the model and method of making managerial decisions based on the analysis of geospatial information. The results: the algorithm of process of acceptance of the administrative decision which consists of a situational and conceptual part is offered; the algorithm of actions of the head of the organization on the basis of the developed model of acceptance of the administrative decision is offered; the situation when the quality of the decision depends on external factors on which the decision-making body does not influence is considered; the general scheme of a method of acceptance of administrative decisions on the basis of the analysis of the geospatial information is resulted. The methods used are: methods of systems analysis, decision theory, information processing, optimal solutions, probability theory. Conclusions. The model of managerial decision-making has been improved, which, unlike the known ones, is dynamic and is based on the selection of decisions that are optimal by the combined criterion, using predictive values of probabilities of environmental conditions, which ensures the validity of management decisions. The method of managerial decision-making based on geospatial information analysis, which is based on data forecasting and management decision-making models and uses the method of semantic segmentation of species images to assess the a priori probabilities of environmental conditions, further enables decision-making in conditions of risk and uncertainty. The direction of further research is the development of information technology for management decisions based on the analysis of geospatial information.
