STRUCTURAL-FUNCTIONAL DECOMPOSITION OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL-ECONOMIC MECHANISM OF ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The article presents a structural-functional decomposition of the organizational-economic mechanism of enterprise development as an integrated system that combines organizational and economic components at the micro level. The relevance of the study stems from the need of Ukrainian enterprises for managed development under the conditions of full-scale war, accelerated digitalization, and European integration, when the destruction of assets and the rupture of established ties require a revision of conventional mechanism configurations. The article elaborates the categorical apparatus of the problem and delimits the organizational-economic mechanism from related categories – the economic mechanism, the management mechanism, the development mechanism, and the broader economic system – showing the correlation of the scopes of these concepts and the authors' divergences in their interpretation. The methodology of decomposition is substantiated, involving two complementary cross-sections – the structural one (which elements the mechanism consists of) and the functional one (which functions it performs) – and the impossibility of their identification is proven. Six basic subsystems of the mechanism are distinguished and characterized – organizational, economic, motivational, informational-analytical, normative-legal, and control-regulatory – as well as six functions that form a closed contour of development: goal-setting, coordination, motivation, regulation, adaptation, and feedback. It is proven that the disruption of even one function breaks the contour of development. The concepts of development, growth, and functioning are delimited, and it is shown how the mechanism ensures the enterprise's transition between life-cycle phases through the prism of the evolutionary theory of the firm, the resource-based view, and the dynamic capabilities theory. The transformation of the mechanism under current Ukrainian conditions toward an adaptive-resilient configuration is outlined. The author's position on the two-level architecture of the mechanism is formulated, and directions for further research are defined.
