The dissertation is devoted to the solution of the scientific problem, which consists in theoretical substantiation and development of scientific and applied bases of management of safety activity of industrial enterprises.
The first section "Theoretical and methodological aspects of enterprise security management" discusses the essence of basic concepts to ensure the security of enterprises as "security", "development", "activity", "enterprise", which allowed to justify the interpretation of the security activity of the enterprise as an enterprise in cooperation with external security entities for ensuring their own dynamic stability of functioning and formation of safe conditions for development through protection against external and internal threats and minimizing risks. It is proved that security activity is not an analogue of "operational", "investment" or "financial", it makes it possible for them to be implemented.
Key approaches have been identified and their own understanding of terms such as ‘danger’ has been identified (being the result of threats, resulting in a decline in security; a negative impact that could result in the destruction of the system, including bankruptcy of the enterprise), ‘risk’ (inherent in business activity in general and in the process of making every management decision, the results of which can be positive, negative and neutral), "Threat" (a form of danger that arises in the external and internal environment, the result of which is always negative, resulting in a decrease in the amount of expected profits, losses and real damage received), which made it possible to determine the purposefulness of goals without the specific activity of the enterprise, which in general provide for monitoring of security level, minimization of risks, identification and counteraction of internal and external threats.
The interpretation of the security potential as a combined ability to use the available resources and opportunities to create safe conditions for development by reducing risks and counteracting internal and external threats is substantiated. The place of the security potential in the structure of the economic potential of the enterprise is determined, its components are characterized and the process of formation in the conditions of Ukrainian enterprises is considered, which creates the necessary theoretical foundation for their safe development.
It is proved that the management of security activities should be interpreted as the process of planning, organizing, motivating and controlling the systematic and purposeful actions of security subjects with respect to security objects in order to preserve the enterprise as a system and to create safe conditions for development in order to achieve priority interests. The place of place of management system of security activity of enterprise in the system of enterprise management is determined. It is proved that in the process of managing every functional component of the enterprise management system (production, marketing, finance, innovations and personnel) the safety aspect should be taken into account, that is, how the development and decision making of managers in different spheres of economic activity can affect the level of enterprise security as a system and its parts.
