The thesis received a new important scientific problem solving theoretical and methodological development, methodological and applied the principles and practical recommendations for rationalizing the management of economic security of agricultural enterprises in the context of increasing economic efficiency of their activities, normalization and stabilization of reproduction processes of development.
The economic nature and significance of key concepts were studied, theoretical foundations were systematized, and ways to ensure the economic security of agricultural enterprises were outlined. Structural features of economic security for agricultural enterprises were established. Components of the economic security management system for agricultural enterprises were identified, and the interrelationships and interactions between its elements were analyzed. Methodological foundations for the justification and implementation of the concept of economic security for agricultural enterprises were developed. Methodological principles for identifying threats to the economic security of agricultural enterprises were determined. Methodological approaches for evaluating indicators affecting the level of economic security of agricultural enterprises were justified. Theoretical and practical foundations for the strategic management of the economic security of agricultural enterprises were developed. Development trends of agricultural enterprises were identified, and the foundations for effective management of their economic security were established. Methods of regulatory state influence to ensure the economic security of agricultural enterprises were substantiated. Imbalances in the external and internal economic proportions of development were identified, and their impact on the economic security of agricultural enterprises was evaluated. The composition and peculiarities of using management tools for the economic security of agricultural enterprises were explored.
An integrated concept of managing the processes of ensuring the economic security of agricultural enterprises was developed, based on principles of monitoring states defined as safe or dangerous, activating management mechanisms, implementing necessary tools, and creating a complex, two-level management structure. This structure includes subsystems that handle the identification of current states and the implementation of strategies to neutralize potential threats. Methodological principles for managing the economic security of agricultural enterprises were identified, based on systematic monitoring that includes methods for assessing financial stability, identifying key trends in the development of the economic potential of enterprises, defining strategic directions, selecting strategic alternatives, forming strategies, and developing management decisions to ensure the economic security of agricultural enterprises. The structuring process for maintaining economic security in agricultural enterprises was justified by identifying external factors and challenges affecting these processes, with separate identification of key components of economic security, including investment, production, scientific-technological, resource, financial, energy, personnel, legal, and environmental security, as well as establishing the connection of these components with mechanisms and tools for managing the economic security of agricultural enterprises.
The architecture of the integrated management mechanism for the economic security of agricultural enterprises was improved, based on a synthetic approach combining organizational, economic, financial, insurance, and price mechanisms to ensure the economic security of core activities. This further identifies their systemic features based on criteria of emergence, adaptability, and additivity, as well as system-significant and system-forming features and proportions of their components. The interpretation of the term "economic security of agricultural enterprises" was expanded to reflect a state determined by the dependencies and interactions of various processes in the external and internal environments, with an important part being the determination of criteria for assessing the safe states of agricultural enterprises' activities. A typology of the structural components of the economic security management system was defined, including various functional components: environmental, resource, financial, integration, monitoring, information, production, technical, personnel, sales, scientific, innovative, as well as inventory management, insurance, and state regulation.
