QUALITY CONTROL IN THE SOCIAL MARKET ECONOMY: RESPONSE TO COMPETITION, MANIFESTATION OF CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY OR A TASK FOR PUBLIC-PRIVATE MONITORING

This paper is aimed at determining the characteristics of the development of quality control with the focus on three approaches to its management (influence of competition, adoption of corporate responsibility and public-private impact) at the level of developed and developing countries. The following methods are used: the complex method, statistical method and method of comparison. The scientific novelty of this research is due to the development of the theoretical and practical provisions in the sphere of formation of the system of quality control at the level of the optimal selection of an approach to its management. It is discovered that the most optimal approach to quality control management is a modified model, which envisages transformation and adaptation of the existing forms of influence in the direction of development of interaction and parity at the level of all participants of the regulation. Such an approach excludes strict regulation and administration from the government but implies the focus on the interests of all participants who seek the results of quality control.
