Corporate Integrated Management of Groups and Associations of Enterprises

The article is devoted to the theoretical justification and development of methodical support for the formation of the system of integrated management of groups of enterprises. The essence, content and principles of building an integrated management system are revealed. The methodical approach to the implementation of group development tasks based on the coordination of group members' interests has been improved. The integration trends of economic development are considered. The definition of integrated management as a complex functional management system, which ensures the development of interdependent management solutions, each of which makes its contribution to the overall performance of enterprises and the group as a whole, has been improved. It was determined that the formation of any group of enterprises and the integration of the management systems of its individual members should be carried out on a systemic basis, for which the use of holaric methods of analysis of sub-holistic objects is proposed. It is proposed to consider each enterprise as a separate hierarchical level in the group structure, and the subject of integrated management includes all actions and relations between group members and within each of them. It is proposed to build a system of integrated management based on certain principles, which are proposed to be divided into: general principles of integrated management of a group of enterprises; principles of organizing the integrated management process; principles of organization of integrated management structures; cybernetic principles of managing complex systems. Therefore, the system of integrated management should be implemented on a comprehensive basis, ensuring the interdependent solution of the tasks and obtaining high final results of the activities of all members of the group. Accordingly, it is proposed to consider the group as a set of chains of added value creation and distribution of logistics interaction, in which the members of the group are considered as separate links of the logistics system. Thus, an integrated logistics network is created, the main goal of which is to create such organizational and economic conditions that will allow maximum satisfaction of the requirements of all members of the group by making compromise decisions and overcoming inconsistencies between various elements of the system. To facilitate the construction of such a network, the concept of an integrated supply chain was introduced and the stages of its construction were highlighted, a typology of logistic relationships of group members was developed, and a scheme of interaction between value chains was presented, oriented to the emergence of a synergistic effect for the group as a whole. Based on the analysis of the integration trends of the economy, it was established that in any case, the main reasons for the ineffectiveness of the group association may be either the choice of the wrong partner or the poor management of the new entity.
