In the context of modern economic realities, the functioning of domestic
communications enterprises is carried out in the conditions of global structural
transformations and negative manifestations of cyclical economic development,
accompanied by the presence of crisis processes, the emergence of unpredictable
permanent phenomena of financial and economic nature, the impact of unexpected
impulses on the modern business environment and violations of the target landmarks of
operation of enterprises. These trends create, on the one hand, real opportunities for the
successful development of communications enterprises, and on the other – the potential
threats to their stable functioning. In this regard, the necessary and logical response of
enterprises to the economic challenges of our time is to manage their economic security,
which requires the development of complex managerial tools for managing the risks of
communications enterprises, taking into account the specifics of their activities to create a
quality system of economic security and ensure its equilibrium.
The purpose of research is to substantiate the theoretical and methodological
foundations of the management of the economic security of telecommunications
enterprises and to develop the conceptual foundations for the improvement of this process
in order to ensure their stable functioning under conditions of an indefinite business
environment.
In the research the theoretical bases of management of economic safety of the
enterprise have been improved, which allowed to synthesize methodological approaches
to the definition of its economic content, to establish the relationship between the
hierarchical levels of economic security and to allocate their essential characteristics, to
structure elements of the system of economic security of the enterprise. Among the
characteristic features of economic security of the company, its economic equilibrium,
competitiveness, economic freedom, economic development and harmonious interaction
with the external environment are highlighted.
On the basis of revealing the specifics of the enterprises of the communication
business, the current trends in the management of their development and the impact of
global risks of the present on the functioning of domestic communications enterprises are
analyzed. This provided an opportunity to systematize the actual risks of informational,
financial, personnel and innovation-investment functional subsystems of the economic
security of communications enterprises. The methodical approach to the integrated
assessment of the effectiveness of the economic security of communications enterprises
has been improved on the basis of the development of a balanced system of indicators and
the construction of a hierarchical structure of this process, which enables to determine the
impact of each functional subsystem on the level of economic security of communications
enterprises for the adoption of sound management decisions. It is proved that in conditions
of cyclical economic development the state of the system of economic security of
enterprises depends on the influence of risks of the uncertain economic environment ,
which requires the implementation of a unified process of risk management of
communication enterprises.
