The dissertation is devoted to solving the scientific task of substantiating theoretical-methodological foundations and developing practical recommendations for enhancing the efficiency of investment activity of agro-industrial enterprises through forming their development strategy under the conditions of the post-war economy.
The research determined that enterprises' investment activities are multifaceted, systematic, and strategically oriented processes aimed at attracting, managing, and optimizing resources for creating, expanding, or transforming their production, innovative, and intellectual potential.
The main directions of enterprises' investment activities were investigated, each characterized by unique features influencing managerial decision-making. It was identified that production and innovative investments form the basis for enterprise development, yet carry medium to high risk due to technological changes and market uncertainty. Investments in human resources and social projects are associated with lower risk but require longer periods to yield economic or social effects.
A comprehensive list of specific features relevant to agro-industrial enterprises' investment activities, including seasonality, production cycles, market volatility, environmental and climatic factors, financial resource access, human capital, and logistics infrastructure, was formulated. It was substantiated that considering these factors minimizes risks, fosters adaptation to contemporary conditions, efficient resource use, competitiveness, and innovative development.
A conceptual scheme for forming investment activity strategies of agro-industrial enterprises was proposed, ensuring an integrated approach to investment management by considering internal and external efficiency-influencing factors. The model utilizes SWOT and PESTLE analysis tools to assess macroeconomic conditions, define strategic goals, and develop alternative solutions considering their financial, social, and environmental feasibility. Particular attention was devoted to selecting optimal strategies, forming implementation schedules, and establishing monitoring and control systems with key performance indicators.
Approaches to stimulating investment activity through public-private partnership mechanisms were clarified. The necessity of state support instruments facilitating effective state-business cooperation was substantiated. It was determined that these mechanisms focus on attracting financial resources to modernize production processes, creating favorable investor conditions, and reducing uncertainties through risk insurance programs.
The algorithm for effective decision-making by formal institutions was improved, providing a systematic approach to investment management. The algorithm involves analysis, forecasting, and adaptive response stages addressing changes in the external environment.
Improvements to institutional support for agro-industrial enterprises' investment activities were proposed, highlighting the need for creating additional entities for effective coordination among state bodies, international organizations, and private investors.
An innovative mechanism for enhancing agro-industrial enterprises' investment efficiency was developed, considering the complex impact of internal and external investment factors. The mechanism integrates modern digital tools, such as information platforms, guarantee funds, and electronic management systems, enhancing investment operation transparency and asset protection.
The management system built on this mechanism ensures agro-industrial enterprises adapt to external changes, increases the sustainability of competitive advantages through innovative solutions and socially responsible practices. Efficient resource use and a focus on high product quality standards create conditions for long-term economic stability.
