Maksymenko T. Evaluation of the efficiency of enterprises in the transition to the alternative energy sources

The dissertation is devoted to solving a scientific and practical task of development of theoretical, methodological and practical recommendations for evaluating the efficiency of enterprises in the transition to the alternative energy sources. The research of epistemological bases of definitions «efficiency of enterprise activity», «energy saving» has been carried out and their essence in author's understanding has been specified. The evolutionary principles of the alternative energy sources application in the economic activities of enterprises have been generalized and systematized, the tendencies and prospects of their development have been outlined. The mechanism for increasing the efficiency of economic activity of the enterprise has been formed and the stepwise process of the enterprise’s transition to the alternative energy sources has been offered. The mechanism that provides conditions for improving the efficiency of economic activity of the enterprise, overcoming obstacles to improving and solving the main problems of economic efficiency analysis has been developed. The content of such a mechanism has been carried out through the prism of a comprehensive approach to input and output information of main, auxiliary and service centers. The role of the subject of these processes, which consists in the systematic detection of changes in the structure, information system and personnel required at the time of managerial decision-making, and the implementation of actions necessary to consolidate such changes, has been defined. The scientific and methodical apparatus for analytical evaluation of the efficiency of the enterprise's transition to the alternative energy sources, taking into account the multivector use for production and energy purposes of the enterprise in compliance with energy saving conditions and environmental friendliness, has been improved and the process of making a managerial decision for such a transition has been algorithmized. The methodology for making managerial decisions on the transition to the alternative energy sources using neural network modeling has been adapted.The process of organizing the optimal managerial decision-making system for the transition of the enterprise to the alternative energy sources has been unified. The methodical tools for substantiating the efficiency of the enterprise after the transition to the alternative energy sources on the basis of pre-investment analysis, assessment and management of risks that arise during the life cycle of such a process have been defined. The approbation of the improved scientific and methodical apparatus of analytical evaluation of the efficiency of transition to the alternative energy sources and the applied assessment of solar modules potential efficiency taking into account multivector use for production and energy purposes of the enterprise in compliance with energy saving conditions and environmental friendliness have been carried out. Key words: alternative energy sources, efficiency, evaluation, enterprise, managerial decision.
