Tkachenko V. Integration of diagnostic and controlling tools and systems into the management of agrarian business entities

The thesis for the degree of candidate of economic sciences, specialty 08.00.04 - economics and management of enterprises (by economic activity). – Livestock Farming Institute of National Academy of Agricultural Sciences of Ukraine, Kharkiv, 2024. The dissertation is devoted to the substantiation of theoretical and methodological foundations and the development of practical recommendations regarding the creation and functioning of diagnostic and controlling systems in the management of agricultural enterprises. The work examines the evolution of scientific approaches to the definition of the concepts of "diagnostics" and "controlling" in management, as well as substantiates the theoretical and methodological principles of the implementation of the control function in the management of agricultural enterprises. The research determined the methodical bases for assessing the effectiveness of the functioning of diagnostic and controlling systems, as well as analyzed the trends of their development and implementation in the management activities of agrarian enterprises. An assessment of changes in the level of economic efficiency of enterprises was carried out and 20 the peculiarities of the performance of control functions in their management system were investigated. The structure and specifics of the use of diagnostic and controlling tools in management are determined. The dissertation also reveals the organizational and economic foundations of diagnostics and controlling in the management of agricultural enterprises, in particular, the architecture of the diagnostics and controlling system was substantiated in the context of increasing information support for management decision-making. The directions, ways and procedures of integration of these systems into the existing enterprise management system are outlined. The conceptual foundations of the construction and functioning of diagnostic and controlling systems are proposed, including the decomposition of the control function with the selection of diagnostics as a key element. This ensures continuous monitoring of the state of the internal and external environment of the enterprise and a clear definition of functional tasks for various divisions. The approaches to evaluating the effectiveness of the functioning of these systems have been improved, establishing a connection between the level of performance of control functions, the development of the management decision support system, and the economic efficiency of the enterprise. The scientific definition of the concepts "diagnostics" and "controlling" is substantiated, which involves the identification processes of key parameters, indicators and characteristics of the enterprise to ensure the balanced functioning of the management system and its development. The study develops the organizational and economic principles of the implementation of the control function through the formalization of the roles of the elements of the management system and the construction of functional systems to support the effective management of the enterprise. In addition, a methodological approach was developed to identify the dependence of the economic efficiency of the main activity on the organization of performance of control functions by management, based on the assessment of the degree of completeness of diagnostic and control parameters, included the reaction to deviations from the planned indicators. Thus, the thesis substantiates the architecture of diagnostic and controlling systems through the identification of key functions, processes and procedures for collecting and processing information for decision-making regarding the main activity and development of the enterprise, as well as the integration of these subsystems into the existing management system. Key words: diagnosis, controlling, mechanism, strategy, management decision.
