L. Filipishina. The Evolution of Conceptual Approaches to Forming the Strategy of Stable Economic Development of Industrial Enterprises.

Abstract

The formation of the concept of stable development has turned out to be the logical consequence of the greening of science and economics typical for late 1960s – early 1970s. It has passed a long evolutionary way which can be divided into three stages: origin, formation of theoretical bases and the stage of the concept systematization. Disclosure of the essence of each stage gives a comprehensive idea of its development patterns. The gradual transition of the concept from the macrolevel of problem formation to the microlevel is noted. The tendency of business involvement in solving global problems has been revealed. Regional problems of stable development and participation of industrial enterprises in its maintenance become the subject of discussion even more often. The carried-out analysis of the evolution of the concept of stable development has shown that at present this concept is implemented in the form of four main approaches: ecological-systemic, cluster, triune и that of business stable development. The analysis of publications of foreign and domestic authors of definitions of the concept “stable development” has allowed identifying priority directions. It is defined that the stable development of an industrial enterprise is determined by a system of factors directed to improving the quality of people’s life with preservation of the environment. As far as the economic aspect is concerned, the factor of stable interrelations with market contractors is getting the leading part in stable development. It can be achieved by applying innovative technologies.  There is a suggestion of using the index allowing assessing the number and effectiveness of innovative processes at an industrial enterprise as one of the indicators of its stable development.
