Management efficiency of integrated grain market Ukraine

Creating an effective management system integrated grain market (hereinafter – IGM) involves determining the optimal number of hierarchical links in the relevant departments that will ensure adequate market reaction to changing internal and external economic space with minimum outlay budget for implementation of management functions. One of applied indicators for quantifying the activity management bodies are coefficient of complexity organizational structure (C_C). This indicator the author used to assess management efficiency the departments of the Ministry Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine (hereinafter – Minagropolicy) by profile for IGM (Table 1).

Qualitative assessment the complexity of organizational structure that reflects the reduction in complexity with increasing values of the quantitative coefficient, includes four levels: (1) high (coefficient C_C value is 0 – 0,3 points); (2) moderate (0,3 – 0,6); (3) low (0,6 – 0,9); (4) optimum (0,9 – 1,2).

Accordance to such a qualitative assessment, six of eight departments of Minagropolicy are with a moderate level of complexity the organizational structure, while two departments – Department economic development agrarian market and Department farming – characterized a high level the complexity with quantitative values of the coefficients 0,2778 and 0,2759 points. Mean values the indicator for State Inspectorate for Agriculture (0,3608 points) on 0,0118 points above the average its level in Ministry Agrarian Policy and Food (0,3490 points). The calculation results show that in structural units subjects management the average coefficient of complexity changes ranging from 0,3 to 0,42 points within «moderate» qualitative assessment (see. Table 1). This assessment testifies to significant potential management systems to simplify and progressive growth the coefficient of complexity ranging from 0,6 to 0,9 points, which corresponds to a qualitative assessment «low».

Conducted by author comparative analysis of tasks two connected departments Minagropolicy (economic development agrarian market and food), which are the main subjects of management in agrarian and consumer sectors IGM Ukraine, indicates a lack of systematic feedback between them. Basic tasks and functions of these departments are local and not concerted, they do not meet strategic goals of sustainable development in markets grain and products his processing. One should also note the lack at the Department of food the divisions of market monitoring and food statistics, resulting are lack of objective statistical data regarding of certain types food, and as a result, inaccuracy and inefficiency of management decisions taken by based on contour analysis.

In our view, the interrelationship of basic tasks and functions Department of agrarian market and food should reflect an organic relationship between raw materials, processing, infrastructure and consumer sectors IGM as unified reproduction system. An example for Ukraine may be the activities of Kazakh Department of production and processing of crop production, which united divisions the seed, strategy development crop, technology policy and processing the crop production. The structure of Department allows you to take concerted system solutions for the regulation and efficient use of capacity markets of grain, seed crops and products his processing.

The main areas of increase management efficiency IGM Ukraine are: (1) reducing number the management units of Department economic development agrarian market, growth C_C from 0,2778 to 0,349 points; (2) integration in one division (eg, department of agrarian and food markets) two related departments Minagropolicy (agrarian market and food), the coordination of tasks and functions; (3) expansion of basic tasks Department of food to stimulate exports of grain processing products with high added value, monitoring food security; (4) activation of Department of scientific and educational ensuring AIP in the direction infrastructure development agro-food markets and stimulate creation of grain cooperatives; (5) inclusion in tasks Control Department evaluate the effectiveness the use of budget funds for targeted programs, and also control activity of subjects management, monitoring implementation of the decisions of controlling bodies.
