CONCEPTUAL GROUNDS FOR SCRIPTED CONTROL OF SECURITY OF CEMENT INDUSTRY ENTERPRISES FUNCTIONING

Abstract

The benchmarks for provision of economic security still remain insufficiently investigated and grounded scientifically. Barely predicted market dynamics, reduction in domestic resources and increase of the environment aggressiveness constitute a threat to the enterprise economic security. Under such conditions the strategic management of the enterprise economic security provision takes on more importance. The high level of competition, corruption, unemployment, political and financial instability contribute to evolution of threats to the state economic security. Such threats, in their turn, become the exogenous factors influencing the macrolevel of the enterprises economic security. Thus it is necessary to liquidate and prevent the threats on each level of the hierarchy in order to increase the economic security as such. The cement industry is rather trending, especially under the condi-tions of warfare, and, in the long view, in the postconflict times, taking into consideration the necessity of restoration of a significant number of population clusters in Ukraine. The carried out SWOT-analysis shows that, irrespective of the current difficulties, the cement industry enterprises have the upper hand and good chances for further development. The environment has considerable influence on the enterprises economic security. The main threats for the enterprises of the cement industry in Western Ukraine are brunch competitors, punctuality and obligingness in fulfillment of the delivery terms. The strategic priorities of the enterprise economic security are the most influential means of achieving the enterprise safe functioning under the conditions of longterm threats of the external and internal environment. We choose the following strategic priorities for the cement industry enterprises: the strategy of provision for financial development; the enterprise investment strategy; the strategy of provision for the secure personnel development. Summing up the results of the conducted investigation it is possible to conclude that the strategic control of the economic security is the process of the strategy management and it means carrying out strategic planning for provision of the enterprise goals achieving, in particular its financial and economic security, as well as planning of the resources distribution under the conditions of constant instability of the external environment and adapting to it in order to protect the enterprise from the threats and risks effects as well as gaining its normal and safe functioning.
