Aim. The presented study aims to substantiate the inclusion of dual management performance assessment in the development strategy of an industrial enterprise.Tasks. The author describes the theoretical aspects of assessing the dual performance of the enterprise management system; develops methodological recommendations for making allowance for the dual performance of the management system in the development strategy of an industrial enterprise.Methods. This study uses general methods of cognition (theoretical synthesis and comparative analysis) to investigate various aspects of the nature of assessment and to substantiate the formation of a new approach to the evolution of management in scientific literature based on the principles of functionality, harmony, and consistency and the estimated duality of management performance.Results. The main result of the study is the development of a conceptual framework for making allowance for the dual performance of the management system of an industrial enterprise in the strategy for becoming the ‘engine of growth’. That said, the dual performance of the management decisions of an enterprise is identified using a triad of assessments: consolidation of organizational efforts aimed at ensuring the target stability of the management system; adaptive behavior of the management system with allowance for the functional and hierarchical relationships between its structural elements and crystallization of the leadership positions of the enterprise in the context of measuring its contribution to the socio-economic development of the enterprise’s region.Conclusions. The methodological recommendations developed by the author will be useful to industrial enterprises whose management is focused on solving endogenous and exogenous problems of socio-economic development, to representatives of science dealing with strategic management issues, and to public authorities focused on identifying and supporting the ‘engines of growth’.
