DEVELOPMENT OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AT UKRAINIAN ENTERPRISES

 

Strategic management is a rapidly developing field of science and management practices that emerged in response to the increased dynamism of the business environment. The theory of strategic planning and management was developed by American researchers businesses and consulting firms, then this device entered in the Arsenal of methods of corporate planning of all developed countries.

Currently there are many definitions of strategy, but they all share the concept of the strategy as a conscious and well thought-out set of norms and rules underlying the drafting and adoption of strategic decisions affecting the future condition of the enterprise, as a means of communication enterprises with the external environment. Strategy is the General program of action, identifying priorities and resources to achieve the main goal. It formulates the main goals and the main ways of achieving them in such a way that the company gets the same direction of motion [1].

Strategic management is the process of adoption and implementation of strategic decisions, the centerpiece of which is a strategic choice based on a comparison of its resource potential of the company with the opportunities and threats of the external environment in which it works [3].

In the economic practice of Ukraine the mechanism of strategic management is in its infancy. At the same time Russian and international analysts believe that the Ukrainian market has entered a stage when the lack of developed strategy prevents enterprises at every step.

In a command economy the development of their plans, the company received the above information on the nomenclature of manufactured products, suppliers and consumers, prices on their products, many other indicators and standards, which are automatically laid in the basis of development plans. Itself the planned work was to find effective ways of fulfilling tasks in conditions of predictable environment. This task remains and in a transition economy, but in a market that is only part of the planned work [2].

Now the enterprise itself should determine and forecast the parameters of the external environment, range of products and services, prices, suppliers, markets, and most importantly - its long-term targets and strategies. This part of the planned work and covers the development of the strategic plan.

Rapid changes in the external environment domestic enterprises also stimulate the emergence of new methods, systems and management approaches. If the surroundings are practically stable, that is no special need to be engaged in strategic management. However, nowadays the majority of Ukrainian enterprises to work in a fast-paced and difficult predictable environment, therefore, in need of methods of strategic management.

The necessity of establishment of the system of strategic management in domestic practice, due also to the ongoing integration processes. In the Ukrainian business arise industrial groups uniting technologically connected enterprises, there is an active process of formation of financial-industrial groups (fig), commercial companies almost simultaneously with the creation of the core business started to make financial and commercial groups. Commercial firm, along with groups, many backed by commercial banks, began to acquire industrial enterprises, participating in privatization, investment tenders actively buying up shares of attractive enterprises [4].

The next important prerequisite for the development of strategic management is the process of the globalization of business, which affected our country. Global firms view the world as a single whole in which erased national differences and preferences, occurs standardization consumption. The products of global firms Mars, Siemens, Sопу, Procter@Gamble and many others are sold in all countries of the world and is an important factor of competition in domestic markets.

Thus, the Directors of the former state enterprises and leaders of new companies is growing understanding of the importance of a long-term objectives and planning development in the long term. The matter is complicated by the fact that many Ukrainian enterprises were in a kind of information vacuum. On the one hand, the abundance of disordered external information, with other - the lack of systematized benchmarks for a choice of directions of development. In addition, tools development and implementation of their own strategies differ significantly from the previously accepted system of planning and is known about them until relatively little, because in practice it did not become generally accepted methods of the planned work. Most domestic producers only comes to an understanding of what is called strategic management.
