CONCEPTUAL PRINCIPLES OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF REGIONAL SYSTEMS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENSURING COMPETITIVE DEVELOPMENT

The article forms the methodological basis for the use of strategic management technologies at the level of regional economic systems in order to ensure long-term competitive development. The need for a new policy and strategy for regulating territorial development was substantiated. Strategic management is the most important tool for solving problems of economic efficiency in the regions. The strategy of territorial development should determine the priorities and stages of restructuring the economy of the regions and the national economic space, and regional policy - to link specific measures to implement the strategy with all other areas of socio-economic policy and resource opportunities of the country. For strategic management of the region as a socio-economic system, it is necessary to consider its three components: social, environmental and economic, the defining of which is the latter. It consists of the results of a set of regional economic systems of individual enterprises engaged in production and economic activities, as well as a mechanism for managing regional resources in accordance with the objectives. Only the means of strategic management, which offers a sequence of actions to use the resources of a particular region, aimed at achieving the goals most desirable for each region, can ensure the stabilization and sustainable development of the region's economy. The object of strategic management in the work is the region - a complex and open socio-economic system, the subsystems of which are connected by a common goal - to create favorable economic, social, environmental conditions to improve the quality of life. The strategy of socio-economic development of the region can be considered both as a way to achieve the goals set in the strategy and as a form of territorial governance and economic activity, ensuring the effective development of regions in market conditions. Stages and specific tasks for the implementation of the territorial development strategy were proposed, taking into account the growing impact of global processes of the world economy. Particular attention is paid to the internal problems of the territorial development strategy.
