VIABILITY OF THE ENTERPRISE: CONCEPT AND SPECIFIC FEATURES

Abstract

. Exercising management of viability of the enterprise is impossible without a clear understanding of the concept “viability of the enterprise”, which fact raises the issue of systematization and generalization of existing scientific approaches, clarifying the content and conditions of using this category. Theoretical studies of existing definitions of this concept showed a relatively small number of works setting out different approaches, views on the essence and definition of the substantive characteristics of the concept “viability of the enterprise”. In solving this problem, the tools of categorical-system methodology and the theory of dynamic information systems are used. The article proposes a new approach to the study of the essential aspects of viability of the enterprise and construction of a conceptual space that describes this phenomenon. To obtain a system of categories which provide a complete and consistent description of the object of study, the categorical method of two-level triadic decryption of the basic concept is used. There are three basic characteristics inherent in the concept “viability of the enterprise”: ability, interaction, result. The article considers the functional features of the proposed characteristics, which reveal these areas for the optimal use of opportunities to ensure the viability of the enterprise. Three basic characteristics were deciphered, each of them is revealed by three concepts, such as: functioning, adaptation, development, time, internal and external environment, efficiency, performance, competitiveness. A two-level triadic decryption of the phenomenon of viability of the enterprise was carried out, whereby its definition was obtained, which enables to determine the nature of this phenomenon more completely and accurately. The results of the study contribute to the formation of a system view on viability of the enterprise in the context of developing a scientific concept of viability of the enterprise.
