CONCEPTUAL FEATURES OF MANAGEMENT DECISIONS IN THE MANAGEMENT PROCESS OF ENSURING THE ECONOMIC SECURITY OF AGRICULTURAL FIRMS IN THE CONDITIONS OF RUSSIA’S LARGE-SCALE AGGRESSION

Introduction. One of the priority ways to improve the scientific and methodological approach to managing the economic security of domestic agricultural formations in the conditions of the modern Russian-Ukrainian war is to achieve the level of sustainable development and its effective functioning by the agro-industrial complex. It should be noted that agricultural formations include a wide range of enterprises, namely farms (small, family, medium, etc.), agricultural enterprises (agribusinesses, agricultural holdings), as well as peasant associations. Unfortunately, the framework of the article does not allow to investigate the peculiarities of the functioning of all groups of agricultural formations. Therefore, we propose to focus on this type of agricultural enterprises as agrofirms, since, in our opinion, in the conditions of large-scale Russian aggression against Ukraine, the role of agrofirms in ensuring the food needs of the population, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, meeting the needs for the import of agricultural products and other needs related to food security of the country as a whole. In addition, this choice is also justified by the fact that other types of agricultural enterprises, such as farming, do not play such a large role in our country compared to other EU countries (Poland, France, Hungary, Germany and others). In the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the role of continuous and effective management of ensuring the economic security of agro-firms increases significantly in these conditions, since the successful functioning of agro-firms is impossible without making effective, quick and high-quality management decisions, which also becomes more and more relevant during the conduct of the Russian-Ukrainian war and substantiates the relevance of this article. Therefore, in our opinion, in the state of war, the provision of domestic agricultural firms by making faster, more flexible and effective management decisions in the management process of ensuring economic security is an urgent scientific task and requires an urgent solution, since in modern business conditions it is impossible to imagine an agricultural firm that functions without management decisions. Its competitiveness and the possibility of its further development depend on their efficiency, therefore the issue of improving the process of development and management decision-making is one of the priority areas of research in modern science and practice. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the conceptual features of managerial decision-making in the process of managing the economic security of agricultural firms based on the analysis of the implementation of this process in the conditions of large-scale Russian aggression.
