Abstract

An important condition for the effective strategic development of an enterprise is a well-formed and properly implemented strategic management system. Moreover, the main condition for the effectiveness of the existing system should be not only the ability to achieve as fully as possible the goals of enterprise development, but also timely identified opportunities for building up sustainable competitive advantages. Since the basis of sustainable competitive advantages are the existing and/or potential capabilities of enterprise, it is proposed to select the components of its strategic potential as the basic elements of the system of strategic management of enterprise competitiveness. Concretizing the components of the strategic potential of enterprise as components of the system of strategic management of its competitiveness requires a closer definition of the essence and content of this concept. Accordingly, the aim of the article is to define as close as possible the essence and content of the concept of «strategic potential of enterprise» as a necessary condition for its rational division into components – the basis for the formation of a system of strategic management of enterprise competitiveness. To achieve this aim, the study of the existing interpretations of the concept of «strategic potential», presented by various scholars, was carried out using the methods of analysis, synthesis and abstraction; allocation of common features and allocation of directions of interpretation of the concept of «strategic potential» – using the methods of comparison, grouping, component analysis; closer definition of the concept of «strategic potential» – using the structural-system method. A critical analysis of the existing interpretations of the concept of «strategic potential» in the scientific literature contributed to the allocation of directions of their typologization, taking into account the main characteristic features of these interpretations. The characteristic features of the studied concepts are outlined in accordance with the parameters that determine the long-term competitive advantages of enterprise. The obtained results allowed to closer definition of the content of the concept of «strategic potential» and to allocate types of strategic potential of enterprise, which are justified to use as the basis of the system of strategic management of the enterprise competitiveness.
