Methodical approaches to the assessment of socio-economic systems

Abstract

This is a substantiated study of socioeconomic systems, emphasizing assessing their effectiveness in the context of Ukrainian enterprises' economic security. The critical aspects that affect the functioning of enterprises' economic security mechanisms are analyzed. The study has identified several major problems that impede the effective functioning of the economic security system, findings that are crucial for Ukrainian enterprises' economic security. At present, the economic security of the country and its support systems are important not only in shaping the international image of the country, but also in maintaining effective cooperation with other states. This creates favorable conditions for Ukrainian enterprises engaged in foreign economic activity and affects the country's domestic economic situation and its sovereignty in general. The public sector, which significantly affects the indicators of national economic security, plays a crucial role in this interconnected system.

The article's purpose is to comprehensively study a wide range of methodological approaches that can be implemented to assess the characteristics of social and economic systems.

Materials and Methods. The system of economic security of the State includes many subsystems, among which the subsystems of economic security of individual enterprises play a critical role. Their security level depends on the nature of their activities, potential, specifics of products or services, the State of markets, target audience, circulation systems, pricing, etc. In this context, an important task is to analyze the State of socioeconomic systems as one of the factors in increasing the overall economic security of the State.

Prospects. Assessing socioeconomic systems is a multilayered process that requires various methodological approaches. The choice of a particular research methodology largely depends on the purpose of the study, the type and quality of available data, and the specific characteristics of the system under evaluation. The study has shown that assessing socioeconomic systems is a complex task requiring a comprehensive approach. This approach, which combines qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis, is necessary to gain a deeper understanding of socioeconomic systems' functioning and their impact on enterprises' economic security. This method makes it possible to identify problem areas, change weaknesses, and respond to threats in a timely manner.
