Marketing strategy as a tool for ensuring the economic security of the enterprise

It has been proven that the creation of a system of economic security and its effective management is necessary to counteract and fight against various threats and dangers. The place of the marketing component in the economic security of the enterprise is defined. The importance of an effective marketing strategy for ensuring economic security and successful functioning of the enterprise is considered. Marketing is defined as a management function that seeks to increase the target market, build long-term relationships, satisfy customers, ensure desired profitability and strengthen competitive advantage.
 Theoretical approaches to the implementation of anti-crisis management were studied, specific features of supporting the economic security of construction enterprises in the short-, medium- and long-term periods were determined. The main functional goals of economic security of the enterprise are highlighted. A brief description of individual stages of management of the enterprise's economic security system is provided. It is proposed to divide the process of managing the economic security of the enterprise into the following stages: setting and justifying goals for ensuring the financial security of the enterprise, identifying the problem, establishing restrictions to minimize the financial losses of the enterprise, developing a set of measures aimed at eliminating the identified problem, making the optimal decision regarding ensuring financial and economic security of the enterprise, coordination of the adopted decision with the management of the enterprise, ongoing monitoring of the implementation of the adopted strategy.
 Trends in the development of construction enterprises were studied, and their features were identified: phasing of construction works; diversity of industrial relations; duration of the production cycle; stationarity of the construction object; high manufacturability of modern construction production. It has been analyzed that any construction project can be divided into three stages: construction preparation, execution of construction works and commissioning of the finished construction object. The most important reasons for the bankruptcy of construction enterprises are given, which are as follows: ineffective marketing, ineffective policy of providing the opportunity to buy apartments in installments, increased production costs due to the use of outdated technologies.

Monitoring the Economic Efficiency of Implementation of the System-Functional Approach in the Management of Innovative Development of Construction Enterprises

The article aims to develop recommendations for improving the mechanism of monitoring the economic efficiency of implementing the system-functional approach in the management of innovative development of construction enterprises. During the research, there was used morphological analysis – to structure the object of study, models and methods of system analysis, tools for forming topological spaces and axiomatics of set theory – to explain object monitoring's logic Bayesian equation – estimate the probability of alternative events. As a result of the study, the object of monitoring is morphologically structured, topologies for analysis of the state of the object of monitoring are presented, and equations for estimating the probability of alternative events that characterize changes in the object of monitoring are constructed. The scientific novelty of the study lies in improving the mechanism for monitoring the economic efficiency of the system-functional approach in the management of innovative development of construction enterprises, which, unlike the existing ones, is based on morphological analysis tools, identification of topological and metric spaces, construction and solution of Bayes' equations. The practical value of the research results lies in developing methodological tools for managing the innovative development of construction companies based on a system-functional approach, particularly in terms of improving the monitoring mechanism. The author's proposals can be used in practical business structures (construction companies) of all forms of ownership.

Development trends and structural disorders in the human resource provision

The article describes the dynamics of the number of employees employed by large, medium and small construction enterprises, as well as by types of construction activities during the period 2010-2018. On the basis of calculations of the index, speed and intensity of structural changes in the personnel supply of enterprises by types of construction works, their dynamics during the period 2010-2018 was established. The purpose of the paper is to identify trends in development and structural changes in the staffing of the functioning of construction enterprises. The functioning of construction enterprises is currently occurring under difficult conditions of external and internal threats to Ukraine's national security, which is reflected by a number of negative socio-economic trends. In particular, human resources, as one of the key factors in the development of construction enterprises, have declined significantly in recent years. This is due to a number of objective and subjective reasons, one of which is the activation of labor migration. After a rapid decrease in the number of employees at construction enterprises during 2010-2015, from 2017, a positive trend is observed. The results of the analysis show that the greatest impact of staffing in the construction of residential and non-residential buildings and specialized construction works in the study period is traced in 2018, and in the construction of engineering structures - in 2012, where the intensity of structural changes showed the highest value. The lion's share of all employees work in small construction enterprises - 156.1 thousand people (53%), medium-sized enterprises - 109.3 thousand people and significantly fewer in large enterprises - 6.8 thousand people (2.5%) in 2018. Changes in the structure of employment by size of enterprises over the years 2010-2018 are observed. The largest number of employees is observed in enterprises specializing in the construction of buildings - about 150 thousand people, including the construction of residential and non-residential buildings - 138.6 thousand people and the organization of construction of buildings - 11.4 thousand people.

Increase of competitiveness of the construction enterprises in the conditions geopolitical transformations

The object of research is the competitiveness of construction enterprises in the context of geopolitical transformations. One of the unresolved problems in this area is the assessment of the influence of external factors on the development of enterprises in the construction industry. Existing methods for assessing competitiveness are quite voluminous and time-consuming and focus more on the economic development of construction enterprises and their competitors. Existing methods do not take into account geopolitical changes in the external environment. That is why, using the matrix method, an express methodology is developed that allows to assess the impact of geopolitical transformations on the level of competitiveness. The study also used cluster analysis methods, which allow to divide the regions of Ukraine into groups according to the signs of construction intensity and the impact of movement of internally displaced persons. The first is the largest with the highest development of the construction industry, the second is the smallest with the highest development of the construction industry and a high number of internally displaced persons and a third – with a low development of the construction industry and a low number of internally displaced persons. Also in the process of research the matrix approach is used, which makes it possible to obtain information about the strengths and weaknesses of the construction company in the aspect of geopolitical transformations, and most importantly to assess how other enterprises cope with the same geopolitical risks. The proposed methodology will be suitable for ongoing monitoring. When applying this method, the company does not incur additional costs for the construction company. A simplified analysis based on publicly available data can be performed by an economist in a standard software package: Excel, can also become part of the analytical software packages used in the enterprise. Compared with similar well-known methods for assessing competitiveness, the proposed analysis evaluates competitiveness in the aspect of geopolitical transformations. This allows construction companies to determine the protection level against environmental factors.
