CREATION OF TOOLS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENTERPRISE - SUBJECT OF ZED

The purpose of the article is to consider tools for the development of enterprises that are subjects of foreign economic activity (FEA). The consequences of the war against Ukraine create a compelling need for the development of the national Ukrainian economy. Analyzing the foreign experience of different countries in the post-war period indicates that export activities are one of the most reasonable vectors for such development, both at the level of individual enterprises and at the level of the national economy as a whole. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats have been identified for Ukrainian enterprises operating in the field of foreign economic activity. It is shown that the number of threats has increased compared to the pre-war period. Despite the significant number of threats and weaknesses, the analysis shows that Ukrainian enterprises have a "window of opportunities" that can be effectively used. Using dichotomous criteria for the possibility of entering foreign markets and the potential of the domestic market, a matrix of strategic choice has been developed. This matrix is intended for use at the level of individual enterprises. A reasonable strategic choice for the enterprise is determined for each quadrant of this matrix in the general version, and industry-specific recommendations are considered. Based on formulated key questions, necessary development tasks are identified for enterprises as subjects of foreign economic activity. These tasks include strategic goal setting, determination of the competitive advantage used, and development of the enterprise strategy. Necessary management tools are proposed and described for the implementation of each of these tasks. A set of key questions has been developed for the chosen model of enterprise development strategy to determine the content of the elements of such a strategy. The usage of proposed development tools for subjects of foreign economic activity is briefly presented using the example of automotive industry enterprises.

К ВОПРОСУ О ТАМОЖЕННОЙ СТОИМОСТИ ТОВАРОВ, ИМПОРТИРУЕМЫХ НА ТЕРРИТОРИЮ РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ: ПРОБЛЕМНЫЕ АСПЕКТЫ

The article presents a detailed analysis of the process of forming the customs value of goods imported into the territory of the Russian Federation. The main components of determining the customs value include the price of the goods, transportation costs, packaging insurance and other costs. Taxes such as VAT and excise taxes have a significant impact on the final value of the goods upon import. The main object of the study is the problems in determining the customs value of goods faced by companies and individuals as declarants when importing goods. Such problems can be unreliable declarations and incorrect paperwork. In addition to the analysis the article offers recommendations for solving such problems and the need to comply with customs legislation for the successful implementation of foreign economic activity. Entrepreneurs engaged in the import of goods to Russia, as well as specialists in the field of foreign economic activity will find useful information in this article for effective management of import operations and compliance with legislation. This will help to avoid fines and problems with customs authorities, ensuring the smooth operation of business in the international market.

Особливості вибору форм професійного розвитку для працівників зовнішньоекономічного підрозділу

The professional development of employees is an integral part of the organization's personnel management, since the effectiveness and efficiency of its activities significantly depend on the level of professional training of personnel in the conditions of the modern economy. Employees increas-ingly have to combine a wide variety of functions in their work, perform many different professional tasks, process large amounts of information, etc. Therefore, the proper choice of the form of profes-sional development, which would meet the demands and capabilities of the company, as well as the employee himself, is an important task of the management. However, despite this, the question of which tools to use for the effective selection of acceptable forms is still unclear. The article considers different approaches to the essence of the interpretation of the concept of "professional development". Various forms of professional development of employees are char-acterized, the importance of choosing a specific form for the development of the company and the problems that arise in this case are indicated. The stages of choosing forms of professional develop-ment for employees of the foreign economic division have been developed and the use of the TOPSIS methodology for choosing the optimal form of professional development of an employee on the ex-ample of a specific enterprise is clearly presented. The research was conducted on the basis of State Enterprise "X". According to the TOPSIS methodology, the chosen option, namely self-education and mentoring, cannot be considered the best forms of professional growth for employees of the for-eign economic division, but only acceptable for the organization. According to the TOPSIS method-ology, the option that receives 1 point is considered the best. According to the results of our research, it can be noted that the choice of forms of profes-sional development of an employee, especially those working in the field of foreign economic activi-ty, is an important issue for companies that seek not only to maintain their positions in the foreign market, but also to expand their activities abroad. Therefore, the stages of selection of forms pro-posed by us and a visual presentation of the use of the TOPSIS methodology will enable domestic en-terprises to more effectively solve this task, taking into account financial capabilities, the needs of employees, their abilities about professions, the needs of companies, etc.

Оцінювання впливу ризиків зовнішньоекономічної діяльності

Risk is an integral part of the economic activity of any organizations that operate on the market in conditions of competition under the influence of external and internal environments. The word risk is often synonymous with loss, failure, which leads to negative consequences. However, no matter how many scientific or practical works are devoted to this issue, it will continue to be rele-vant, as the world becomes more changeable and threats have become an integral part of our lives. Therefore, assessing the impact of risks is an important component of management activities. The purpose of the article is to analyze the essence of the concept of risk, to define the types of risks in foreign economic activity and to present the recommended stages of the process of assessing the impact of foreign economic activity risks of domestic companies through the formation of a sys-tem of indicators. The article considers different approaches to the essence of the interpretation of the concept of "risk". Different types of risks that can affect the enterprise during its foreign economic activities are characterized. The process of assessing the impact of risks of foreign economic activity of do-mestic companies through the formation of a system of indicators has been formed. Each separate step of the recommended process is described. The qualitative and quantitative methods of assess-ment are described. It is emphasized that the choice of risks and, accordingly, their assessment indi-cators depends on the object of the study, the obtained information and its purpose. Based on the results of the research, it was concluded that there are a large number of types of risks that cannot be covered in the research process. Therefore, in the process of managing risks in the field of foreign economic activity and assessing their impact, it is necessary to identify first the risks that are most acceptable in a specific situation, taking into account the type of activity, the po-litical and economic situation, the level of cooperation with an external counterparty, etc. And on the basis of the selected list and evaluation tasks, decide on the evaluation methods and directly the types of indicators. The recommended process will allow not only to reduce the labour intensity of work related to risk management, but also to obtain operational information for solving the key problem.

Regarding the issue of special import of goods for military purpose and dual use as items seized or restricted in civilian circulation

The relevance of the study is stipulated by the urgent need to urgently fill the suddenly emerging legal gaps caused by the expansion of the powers of non-governmental organizations that have been actively involved in the process of assisting combatants. The study aims to solve an important pragmatic problem: to ensure legal harmonization of procurement with the highest productivity and lowest legal and financial risks. The study uses a synthesis of general scientific, legal and sociological-legal approaches, methods, and techniques of scientific knowledge. As a result of the work carried out, the author managed to rethink the legal status of things as objects of civil rights in the light of the latest military realities. The legal algorithm of procurement of military and dual-use goods by non-governmental organizations is clarified; a parallel is drawn with the procurement procedure carried out by the relevant state-owned enterprises. The author comprehends the phenomenon of a trade mission in general and a trade mission burdened with a foreign element in the field of foreign economic activity in particular. The author analyses the conflict of laws clauses which can resolve the contradictions of counterparties in an international sale and purchase agreement. The author suggests ways for further scientific research in this area of research. The author structures the mechanism by which representatives of the public sector, including charitable organizations and foundations, may obtain licences for the purchase of military and dual-use goods for the army. It is argued that in practice, since the beginning of hostilities, these organizations, and foundations have been creating a worthy alternative to the State defence sector. These developments, in addition to their pragmatic significance, are also characterized by a certain theoretical significance, since they can be used for scientific research and solving problems in the field of property rights, the law of non-governmental organizations, foreign economic activity, as well as for developing and improving training courses in the field of civil, humanitarian and international law.

Administration of Customs Payments as a Priority Area of Tax Policy in Russia

The active scientific interest in customs administration is due to the development of digital technologies, which is directly manifested in the emergence of new information tax and customs technologies and services, the desire to create a single digital platform for regulatory agencies, as well as the search for new approaches to effective administration in the field of foreign economic activity. The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the role of customs administration in terms of the effective implementation of tax policy in the Russian Federation. During the study, both general logical methods (analysis of publications, comparison, generalization) and methods of empirical research were used: description, measurement, analysis of statistical data. Based on the analysis of current trends in customs administration, the authors justified that the state pays sufficient attention to the development of customs administration and allocates large amounts of funds for these purposes. Based on the analysis, the article expresses a point of view on the need to develop "updated" approaches to the development of customs administration in order to increase its efficiency. The authors come to the conclusion that the integration of information resources into a single platform will ensure the collection of customs payments, improve the efficiency of customs control, and reduce the administrative burden on conscientious participants in foreign economic activity.

Study of the value component of the value-target management of the foreign economic activity of the enterprise

Introduction. Management of foreign economic activity is successful and effective when it is aimed at achieving corporate values and goals. Value-target management is an effective tool for increasing the efficiency of a company’s foreign economic activity and its competitiveness in foreign markets. Today, there is still a large percentage of domestic enterprises that are not guided by values in their activities or whose values are boring abstract phrases that even managers do not follow. Since domestic enterprises usually focus only on goals, they cannot use the potential of their employees as efficiently as possible. The purpose of the paper is to investigate and analyze the value component of the value-target management model of the enterprise’s foreign economic activity, as well as to determine how the declared values in the field of foreign economic activity should be supported and implemented at the enterprise. Results. The paper covers the general theoretical aspects related to the value-target management of the enterprise’s foreign economic activity, the value component of the value-target management model of the enterprise’s foreign economic activity is considered in detail: the essence of the concept of «corporate values» is defined, their role and importance in the process of forming a cohesive motivated FEA managers team are determined, the values by which Ukrainian companies are guided in their activities are studied, the key features of value-oriented management are analyzed, and it is also determined how the declared values in the field of foreign economic activity should be supported and implemented at the enterprise. Conclusion. The application of value-oriented management in the management of foreign economic activity of the enterprise allows to unite the team of FEA managers, increase their involvement and loyalty, reduce the costs of ineffective decisions, attract motivated specialists of a high level of professionalism, increase the satisfaction of customers, partners, and employees, ensure high quality of work and, as a result, increase the productivity and efficiency of the FEA managers team and achieve better financial results from foreign economic activity.

STRATEGIC GUIDELINES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FOREIGN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY OF ENTERPRISES IN THE BANI ENVIRONMENT

Recently, the foreign economic activity of enterprises has been characterized by a decrease in the volume of world trade, the introduction of trade restrictions and a change in the trade policy of countries. In an environment where retail businesses are forced to cease operations or close, especially after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, trading in the BANI environment provides an opportunity to increase revenue, attract new customers and stimulate a change in distribution channels. This determines the relevance of the analysis of the impact of the BANI era on world trade, and therefore on foreign economic activity. The article presents the results of the study of the foreign economic activity of enterprises in the BANI environment. The meaning of the acronym BANI is revealed, it is emphasized that one of the main factors in the emergence of the BANI era was the COVID-19 pandemic. It is emphasized that it is small enterprises, in particular in the field of foreign economic activity, that face the biggest problems in the current changing environment: they are more sensitive to changes and worse adapt to them, having fewer resources in their arsenal, and free capital that can be used for amelioration of the negative consequences of the BANI era, they are practically absent. The risks of foreign economic activity of small business entities in the BANI environment have been determined. A list of anti-crisis measures to overcome the negative impact of the BANI era on foreign economic activity is provided. The importance of innovative activity at small enterprises in the field of foreign economic activity for their adaptation in the BANI environment is emphasized. It is shown that one of the effective innovative approaches for enterprises of foreign economic activity in the BANI environment is the introduction of virtual entrepreneurship, since it is this, especially at the international level, that contributes to: 1) integration of the efforts of partner enterprises around a specific project, which is not able to be implemented by each individual enterprise; 2) expands the boundaries of a traditional enterprise and completely eliminates spatial barriers. It was emphasized that one of the priority tasks in the era of BANI is the development of an effective legal mechanism for ensuring the information security of subjects of foreign economic activity. The role of WTO agreements in ensuring the transparency of international trade relations in the BANI environment is outlined.

Организация системы мониторинга финансовой безопасности региона

A monitoring system for regional financial security based on a key set of indicators can be used to timely and promptly identify, analyse and assess security threats at the meso-level. The study hypothesises that the implementation of the proposed monitoring mechanism will improve detection, analysis and diagnosis of threats to financial security across regions. This can be achieved through the synthesis of an indicative approach, ranking method, minimax approach and normalisation function. Additionally, the system can be used to more accurately determine the security zone and assess the influence of various factors on each indicator. The article presents a methodology for assessing regional financial security based on a set of indicators characterising regional financial systems and their budget, investment, foreign economic components. Statistics from the Federal State Statistics Service, Bank of Russia, Treasury of Russia, customs and tax authorities were analysed. The indicative approach, ranking method, minimax approach, and normalisation function were synthesised to transform original data into a hundred-point scale, determine threshold values and identify the most significant threats to financial security in the field of foreign economic activity, monetary policy, financial stability and enterprise performance. The testing of the proposed methodology in Kirov oblast using ten indicators revealed several threats to the region’s financial security. Dynamics of indicators of Kirov oblast were compared with those of other regions of the Volga Federal District. The developed approach to organising financial security monitoring and recommended tools can be used by public and administrative authorities for identifying, analysing, assessing and predicting threats to financial security of meso-level systems. Future studies can increase the number of indicators for examining financial security.

Current state and prospects for the development of foreign agricultural trade of Ukraine

Introduction. The current difficult economic conditions caused by Ukraine's war with Russia have exacerbated the global food crisis. This circumstance will cause famine in many countries of the world, especially in regions where the population is characterized by a low level of purchasing power. In addition, the military actions caused significant damage to the logistics of agri-food, which as a result requires the involvement of significant investments for recovery. This circumstance requires the introduction of state support. Goal. On the basis of the generalization of the assessment of the foreign trade in agricultural food of Ukraine under the conditions of the introduction of martial law in the country, propose proposals for the post-war revival of the country's agricultural production. Method (methodology). In the research process, a complex of general scientific and special methods was used to achieve the defined goal: system-structural analysis - when clarifying and organizing the conceptual apparatus of foreign economic activity; dialectical, method of analysis and synthesis - for studying the characteristics and features of the main methods of managing the foreign economic activity of agricultural enterprises; expert, calculation, comparative and graphic - when assessing the state of foreign economic activity of agricultural enterprises. The results. It was established that the problems of the low level of competitiveness of food products on international markets are due to the following factors: lack of financial resources for modernization of production; high customs fees, which lead to an increase in the costs of subjects of foreign economic activity; high transaction costs, which narrows the possibilities of exporting products with a short delivery period. Proposed main priority tasks in the field of foreign economic activity of the agrarian sector of Ukraine.

МЕТОДИЧНІ АСПЕКТИ ОРГАНІЗАЦІЇ ЛІЗИНГОВИХ ОПЕРАЦІЙ У ЗОВНІШНЬОЕКОНОМІЧНІЙ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ ПІДПРИЄМСТВА

The modern development of international business creates new conditions for the effective functioning of business entities on international markets. First of all, this concerns the constant and steady increase in the volume of financing of foreign economic operations, which, in turn, requires the search for optimal methods and sources, among which leasing occupies a significant place. In Ukraine, the urgency of the development of leasing is determined by the need for technical re-equipment and renewal of the fixed assets of enterprises, the level of wear and tear of which is approximately 80%. The vast majority of Ukrainian enterprises are unable to carry out technical renewal of production with their own funds. Therefore, there is an objective need to develop the leasing business. The article analyzes the current trends of the global leasing market and the market of Ukraine, identifies problems and prospects for development, develops recommendations for improving the methodical support of the organization of leasing operations in the field of foreign economic activity. The historical experience of the development of leasing in many countries confirms its important role in the renewal of production, the expansion of product sales, and the activation of investment activities. Leasing can become especially attractive in connection with the introduction of tax and depreciation benefits. Leasing can become especially attractive in connection with the introduction of tax and depreciation benefits. Leasing operations are in great demand on the world market, as they provide certain advantages for all participants in the agreement. Today, Ukrainian leasing companies are unable to fully meet the aggregate demand for this type of financial services, therefore, for Ukraine, the use of international leasing as the main element of updating equipment and production facilities is extremely important. International financial leasing provides enterprises with the opportunity to modernize equipment and thereby increase their efficiency and competitiveness. Therefore, the relevance of the study is determined by the need to use international financial leasing as a means of updating the company's main production assets.

Possibilities of realization of Ukraine’s export potential on the world market

In the article, the author calculated and analyzed the dynamics of indicators of Ukraine's export potential for the period 2016–2021. The product structure of Ukraine's exports in 2021 was determined and the share of goods exports in Ukraine's GDP was calculated for 2016–2021, which provided an opportunity to summarize existing trends and to present certain practical proposals. It was established that, despite the crisis conditions of 2020–2022, the trends demonstrate the activation of Ukrainian exporters on the world markets, but the structure of trade in itself somewhat inhibits the processes, which is reflected by a negative indicator of trade turnover. It was determined that the possibilities of Ukraine's export potential demonstrate that in 2021, ferrous metals and grain products will account for larger sales volumes on foreign markets. It is noted that Ukraine's exports are growing faster than imports, and the country's high dependence on imports is a negative factor. It was established that Ukraine remains a raw material appendage. Therefore, from a strategic perspective, Ukraine aims to change this trend through the active development of industrial processing, which will change the shares exactly the opposite: to export 75% of finished products and services and only 25% of raw materials. It has been found that the impact on the opportunities of Ukraine's export potential is exerted by a complex of internal and external factors, which are of an acute problematic nature. Based on the results of the calculations, it was established that an urgent issue in order to expand the possibilities of realizing the export potential of Ukraine on world markets is the implementation of a balanced foreign economic policy of the state regarding the support of national producers, the stimulation of export-oriented products and increasing their competitiveness, bringing the legislative framework in the field of foreign economic activity to meet world standards. It was determined and proposed that to optimize the commodity structure of foreign trade, a strategic measure is the transition from a focus on raw material exports to the export of processed, processed or finished products with high added value, as well as supplementing the existing dominant export industries with other promising directions.

Ціннісно-цільове управління зовнішньоекономічною діяльністю підприємства: модель та проблеми застосування

The article is devoted to the study of the features of the application of the value-target model in the management of the enterprise’s foreign economic activity. The authors study the model of value-target management of foreign economic activity, its constituent elements, as well as key aspects of application in the practical activity of the enterprise. The main idea of value-target management of the enterprise’s foreign economic activity consists in the development of value-target competences in foreign economic activity managers aimed at achieving the company’s planned goals of foreign economic activity. The development of the competences of foreign economic activity managers will directly affect the company’s achievement of planned indicators in the field of foreign economic activity, will improve the efficiency of the enterprise’s foreign economic activity and increase its competitiveness on foreign markets. The article also analyzes the basic competencies of foreign economic activity managers and the management apparatus, necessary for the effective implementation and application of value-target management of foreign economic activity at the enterprise, among which the authors highlight the following: leadership, the ability to make complex decisions and take responsibility, the ability to lead people, inspire and motivate them, vision of the goal, developed communication skills, determination, openness to ideas and innovation, self-development and personal abilities. The article also singles out the problems that the enterprise may face in the process of implementation of the value-target model of foreign economic activity at the enterprise. Among them, it is worth highlighting the following: problems with the formation of a favorable social and psychological climate in the team, violations of the motivation system of the managers involved in foreign economic activity, lack of understanding of the need to develop value competencies in foreign economic activity managers, the low level of qualification of the HR managers of the company, as well as other barriers. Ignoring these and other problems when introducing value-target management of foreign economic activity can lead to the failure of the enterprise in the application of this management tool.

Criminal protection of Russia's fiscal interests in the foreign economic sphere

Subject of study: in the context of economic sanctions against Russia, the issue of international trade with foreign partners is more relevant than ever. Improving the quality of customs administration and the transition from "electronic" to "intellectual" customs, gives positive results, which are the subject of study by economists and lawyers in the field of customs. Behind the brackets are questions of the effectiveness of the criminal law protection of the fiscal interests of the state in the foreign economic sphere. An analysis of the statistical data of courts, customs and other law enforcement agencies made it possible to develop probable hypotheses for the future development of crime in this area, which is the subject of this study.
 The purpose of the study: to formulate evidence-based proposals for improving the mechanisms of criminal law protection of the fiscal interests of the state in the field of foreign economic activity.
 List of methods and objects of research. Statistical observation, a method of grouping and summarizing data with subsequent interpretation of the results, which made it possible to make a forecast for the effective protection of the state's fiscal interests in the foreign economic sphere.
 Conclusions on the results of the study. The mechanisms of criminal law protection of the state's fiscal interests in the customs area should be of an exceptional nature, and the guidelines should be built in favor of the transparency of customs procedures and the profitability of doing honest business. Currently, there is a decrease in the number of convicts under Art. 194 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation with a significant increase in voluntary forms of payment of arrears on customs payments. Two main reasons have been identified: organizational improving the quality of customs administration; legal judicial practice is built on the principle of presumption of good faith of the declarant.

Authorized economic operator: world experience

Introduction. The AEO has become the flag­ship program of the Customs-Business Partnership for WTO members. Business partnership programs allow customs authorities to achieve higher results in ensuring security and safety of international trade through incentives such as reduced controls, simplified procedures, periodic reporting, deferred payments, repu­tational benefits and others. Analysis of world expe­rience (namely the USA, the EU, China and other WTO countries) has shown the feasibility of implementing the AEO program, which allows authorized businesses to provide special simplify­cation for the movement of goods through internationallogistics chains. Analysis of recent researches and publica­tions has shown that the published up to date papers aren’t systematic and can’t claim to be a complete analysis of the AEO program world experience and benefits for doing business in Ukraine. The aim of the article is to analyze the worldand Ukrainian experience while implementing AEO program. Methods. General scientific methods such as the systematic approach, theo­retical generalization and comparison, analysis and synthesis have been used for the research. Results. The AEO program was launched in the EU in 2008, where today about 80% of export-import operations are carried out by companies with AEO status or individual authorizations for special simplifications. The total number of compa­nies with AEO status in the EU is over 24,275 at the end of 2021. AEO programs have already been implemented in 97 countries, another 20 countries are in the active stages of implementation. 87 bila­teral and 4 multilateral / regional MRAs on mutual recognitionhave been signed. 78 MRAs are under negotiation. An unconditional positive is the launch of the AEO program in Ukraine, which is in line with leading European and world experience. The Ministry of Finance and the State Customs Service, with the support of the British Embassy, the Reform Support Office and the EU4PFM project, have developed and implemented the necessary legal framework to launch the AEO program in Ukraine. The AEO program became important during the war between Ukraine and Russia. In this aspect, it is important to increase the number of companies with AEO status that have a certain type of simplification (AEO-C and / or AEO-B). This will speed up the customs clearance and passing goods of such companies to meet the needs of the Armed Forcesand the civil population of Ukraine. Conclusions. Today there is a significant gap in informing business representatives, young professionals and practitioners, applicants for higher education in Ukraine about the specifics of meeting the requirements for AEO authorization, the tangible benefits of AEO status for both types of business in Ukraine and at the international level. Wider implementation of the AEO program in Ukraine, in addition to the tool of business partnerships, trade facilitation, strengthening security in the field of foreign economic activity, will also be one of the tools to de-shadow business.

MODERN TOOLS TO PROMOTE EXPORT-ORIENTED INVESTMENT PROJECTS

Currently, in the field of foreign economic activity of the Russian Federation, the strategic task of increasing the volume of non-resource non-energy exports is being implemented, which is impossible without increasing the investment activity of Russian exporters. The authors have analyzed the current state, dynamics and structure of investments in the Russian Federation. A list of negative factors hindering the implementation of export-oriented investment projects has been determined. It is indicated that potential and existing investors in the field of foreign trade activities can take advantage of both general and specific measures to stimulate the investment process. Using the methods of comparison, system analysis and generalization, a characterization of modern measures of state support for the investment activities of export producers has been carried out, the most promising of which, according to the authors, are the corporate program to increase competitiveness, the mechanism of agreements on the protection and promotion of capital investments and the modernized version of the special investment contract. It has been identified what negative factors hindering the investment process can be minimized through the mechanisms under consideration to support investors from the state in the implementation of export-oriented projects. The conditions limiting the use of the analyzed tools to increase the investment activity of exporters are indicated. The results of the study can be used by potential investors when choosing a state program to stimulate investments in fixed capital of exporters of non-energy commodities.

Peculiarities of planning of foreign economic activity of the enterprise

Introduction. Nowadays, the active development of market relations presupposes a responsible approach to the planning of foreign economic activity. After all, properly planned import and export activities are the key to improving the efficiency and increase the company's profits. Thus, when planning foreign economic activity, a step-by-step plan should be followed, which will eventually help to develop the company's strategy in this area. The purpose of the paper is the systematization of the process of planning foreign economic activity in the form of phased strategy development. Results. The first stage of planning is to determine the prerequisites for strategy development. The second stage is the analysis of factors influencing foreign economic activity. There are a number of factors that have a significant impact on foreign trade, these include: insufficient resource opportunities, changing the impact of time and space, improving business infrastructure, high levels of economic aggression by Western firms, technological backwardness, economic prohibitions and restrictions other countries, military conflicts, etc. The third stage is the analysis of state regulation of foreign economic activity. This stage is based on the study of the regulatory framework for the functioning of foreign economic activity. The fourth stage is to study the company's own capabilities. Thus, having insufficient capacity, the company, for example, will not be able to organize import activities. The fifth stage is the formation of strategic alternatives. There are a number of basic strategies used by enterprises to optimize and plan foreign economic activity. Typical basic strategies include survival strategy; stabilization strategy; growth strategy; combined strategy. The next step is to implement the strategy. It is possible only if the correspondences between the chosen strategy and the state of the enterprise are established, all prospects, risks, the state of the internal and external environment of the enterprise are analyzed. The last stage - the creation of control bodies will help the company to respond quickly to changes and make early adjustments to the strategy. Conclusions. In the work on the basis of the conducted research the theoretical substantiation on development of strategy of planning of foreign economic activity is executed. The planning process is the foundation for the development of both the enterprise as a whole and in the field of foreign economic activity. The prospect of further research is to develop stages of implementation of methods and tools to improve foreign trade planning.
