Competitiveness Management in Motor Transport Enterprises

Abstract

The theoretical rationale for the model of developing a strategy for competitiveness managing based on a combination of the positioning and provisions of the resource approach theory is given. The management strategy is being developed at the upper (strategic) and medium (tactical) levels. At the upper level, there is a positioning of the enterprise environmental requirements potential. At the level of individual strategic business units (SBU) – analysis by the method of M. Porter, the possibilities are determined on the basis of provisions of the resource approach. Formation of a common competitiveness management strategy is a compromise of a common strategy project with SBU enterprise strategies. The composition of the competitiveness management system of enterprise is validated: the main subsystems, their functions and interrelations between them are defined. Particular attention is paid to the management subsystem, which consists of three subsystems: structural and functional, self-development and informational and behavioral. The main functions of the decision, transforming and information controlling blocks at all management levels are defined. A model of structure of the enterprise competitiveness management system is proposed. Under strategic management, the development of functional strategies is proposed to be transferred to the upper and middle management levels. Using the matrix management structure of the functional units of the enterprise is suggested.
