The dissertation is devoted to solving an important scientific problem –– formation of the management system of adaptation of the enterprise to changes. Theoretical approaches to the classification of changes in the activities of enterprises are studied and systematized, which allowed to highlight the necessity to take into account the foreseeable and unpredictable possibilities of changes in the enterprise, focusing on external and internal factors of the enterprise environment, under which influence changes occur. The definitions of the concept of "adaptation of enterprises" and "management system of adaptation of the enterprise to changes" are offered. A theoretical and methodological approach to the formation of a management system for adaptation of enterprises to change, based on the formation and implementation of basic elements and components of the four main components (organizational, economic, legal, technological and social) using methods and techniques of a mixed approach (of management, functional and process). The concept of the tool base of modeling of the management system of adaptation of the enterprise to changes which has a number of advantages at practical use by the enterprises is offered: it is based on the vision, mission and the basic tasks of development that formed by the enterprise; takes into account the factors of cyclicality, which are a reflection of existing trends in the economy of the world and the country and directly affect the development of the enterprise; provides opportunities to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the external and internal environment of the enterprise, to calculate and predict the psychological and qualification level of staff and the level of perception of changes by these staff; relies on the theoretical foundations of the process approach in the development of management mechanisms for individual components based on business process management; is developed according to the main functions of management, which provides opportunities to take into account the sequence of management of enterprises on the main components of the management system of adaptation of enterprises to change; takes into account the necessity of systematization and management of supporting processes: infrastructure and information; be sure to take into account the need for feedback, adjustment of the developed measures of the management system for adaptation to changes as a result of monitoring and control over the consequences of its implementation. The tool is based on the model of enterprise adaptation of change of a management system is developed, that is based on the choice of variants on the main four components of the enterprise adaptation management mechanism, taking into account the results of evaluation of the integrated indicator of enterprise change adaptation system. The author's vision of templates of choice of methodological approaches to formation of management systems of adaptation to changes of the enterprise taking into account a cyclic condition of economy and the analysis of external, internal environment and level of an estimation of perception by personnel of changes is developed. The theoretical and methodological approach for creating a comprehensive system for assessing the prerequisites for forming a management system for adaptation to change, which takes into account the impact of external and internal factors of the enterprise, the level of staff perception of change for each component of the management system. The general economic tendencies of development of economy of Ukraine are used with mathematical tools that gave the chance to predict directions of influence development of cyclic factors on preconditions of formation of management system of adaptation of the enterprises to changes. The specific features of functioning and interrelations between agro-industrial enterprises are investigated and systematized, which allowed to allocate theoretical bases of functioning of agro-industrial enterprises, legislative restrictions and prospects of development of interrelations taking into account tendencies to diversification of activity in agro-industrial sphere in Ukraine. The tendencies of influence of factors on the functioning of agro-industrial enterprises are systematized due to integrated assessment of preconditions of formation of management system of adaptation of enterprise to changes taking into account influence of factors. Organizational and applied models and schemes are developed and tested in practice for forming a management system for adaptation of agro-industrial enterprises to change, taking into account the specifics of the enterprise in this area, provide enterprises with flexibility to respond changes in the environment by choosing the most appropriate approaches. The methodological approach and practical tools of the formation of a management system for adaptation to change in modern agro-industrial enterprises is tested.
