The article analyzes the processes of deep processing of grain and obtaining a wide range of products with high added value. It has been proven that Ukraine has significant potential and resources for the development of the field of deep processing of grain. Experts predict the active development of this area in the near future, which is due to the presence of a large raw material base. It has been established that the further increase in processing volumes towards the production of biotechnological products with high added value will solve the problem with sales markets: maltodextrins and modified starches are in demand on the Ukrainian market. They are needed in the food, pulp and paper, pharmaceutical, textile, and oil and gas industries. About 60 % is for non-food use, glucose-fructose syrups with different mass fractions of glucose, crystalline glucose for the food and pharmaceutical industry, glucose syrup for its further processing into fodder amino acids and vitamins or for “green” chemical products. One of the main competitive advantages in the development of deep processing of grain and, as a result, industrial biotechnologies is the availability of sufficient resources of renewable raw materials, for example, grain, the production of which is steadily increasing. Promising markets for products of deep processing of grain are the markets of amino acids, glucose and glucose-fructose syrups, starch and starch products, bioplastics, as well as, with the necessary legal and financial support from the state, the production of bioethanol from grain raw materials. In our opinion, at the initial stage of the development of foreign technologies of deep processing of grain, it is necessary to pay attention to distilleries, whose waste is a ready raw material for the production of gluten and other bioproducts.

The problems of organization of natural resources management on a global scale are revealed in the article. It is established that in a billion years the atmosphere of our planet will undergo drastic changes and lose all its oxygen, rejecting life to the oldest anaerobic forms. The modelling has shown that the drop in oxygen content can be extremely sharp, to a level millions of times less than the current. The causes of fires and other natural disasters in the planetary dimension have been identified. There were considered the means of counteracting global fires. Their catastrophic consequences and possible consequent development from this -- oxygen problems -- have been predicted. The causes of this phenomenon have been identified, including the irresponsible attitude of the competent regional, interstate and state institutions to these problems, and their primary classification has been made. The place and role of state and international governing bodies in these processes are determined. The organization of preventive measures in this area on the basis of effective use of management and its humanitarian tools is offered. In the paper were named the imperfections in the actions of state regulatory authorities and the reasons for the science passivity. The views of well-known scientists and people who impartially assess the situation are highlighted. The study confirmed that, regardless of the source, natural disasters are characterized by significant scale and duration. Some of them pose a threat to humanity on a global scale. Due to these circumstances, there is an urgent need to study the prerequisites for improving the rationality and efficiency of global nature management by creating intergovernmental structures in this area. There have been substantiated the necessity of formation of interstate administrative structures, which would promote rational resource use and healthy natural reproduction of all life-supporting components, incl. oxygen and life-giving air.

The aim of the research paper. The aim of the research paper is developing of scientific approach to assessing of the innovation activity level of restaurant business enterprise business model. The approaches to the selection of indices of innovative activity assessment are generalized and the indices of innovative activity assessment of the restaurant business enterprise business model are substantiated in the research paper for achieving the aim of the research. Analysis results. The research shows that each enterprise with its key processes is unique, and therefore it is impossible to determine the development optimal vector which is based on unique algorithm of action for almost all enterprises. The importance of updating of the restaurant business enterprises business model is very high, since it is aimed at achieving competitive success. The logic of the renewal process is based on the postulate, which changes the typical management approach, focuses on the necessity of searching the compromise between the creation of innovation value for customers and the formation of strategic flexibility. Dynamic conditions of the Ukrainian consumer market operation put forward their own specific requirements for the formation of national business models, where innovative activity is the main business model. Innovative activity of business models affects not only internal business processes, but also, in general, on the consumer market formation. Requirements for the business model are aimed at providing of the business model’s efficiency increasing were developed for grounded substantia tion of the criteria and indices of the innovation activity assessment. And its dynamic development and the system assessment criteria have determined the innovative activity of business models. Sixty experts of the restaurant business in Ukraine and Kharkiv region were involved in the development of system of indices for assessing the innovation activity of the business model of restaurant business enterprises. The experts determined the group of indices for the assessment of the innovation activity of enterprise’s business model. These indices are basis for the scientific and methodical approach to determining the integral index of the enterprise innovation activity and determining the type of reaction to the importance of the business model updating. Conclusions and directions of further researchers. The scientific and methodical approach to the definition of the enterprise’s innovation activity integral index is considered in the research; this approach is key source for the business model renewal and it can be a comprehensive indicator of the development state of the restaurant business enterprise, it is necessary to develop it and to include in the system of enterprise strategic management according to weak signals.

The paper substantiates the necessity of using modern approaches to identification of risks in a financial security management system of a company. Organization of the company financial security management system requires a continuous analysis of large volumes of information, which ensure taking and implementation of specific management decisions. In the context of risk situations which have to be addressed mostly when studying financial security factors of a company, there arises an issue of risk analysis and interpretation. Qualitative interpretation of risks in a decision making support system ensures an effective risk management under dynamically changing conditions. In the decision-making theory, the choice under risk and uncertainty requires the alignment of the original management task to some basic representation. The paper deals with application of these basic requirements to the task of indicative financial security management of industrial enterprises. To improve the efficiency of the company financial security, it is necessary to conduct a detailed analysis of information support processes used in developing and taking decisions. To this end, the paper offers a mechanism for identification of risk situations within the infological decision-making model. It is intended to classify states in the company financial security management system by using the fuzzy-set theory, which will allow taking into account different basic strategies manifested in the development of real processes in the company financial security management system. To identify fuzzy states in the company financial security management system, an indicator base was developed, which is supported by performance data of a number of enterprises. Application of the fuzzy-set model of the classification of states in the company financial security management system allowed to obtain more realistic information demonstrating the development of the company financial situation.

The article shows that in conditions of modern production, ensuring its efficiency and new qualitative growth in an unstable external environment, communication between people and organizations turns into a strategic resource of management. It is noted that the approaches existing in the science of science to assessing communication channels are devoted to the analysis of their actual effectiveness, while other their characteristics are not considered practically. The purpose of the article is to develop methods for formalizing estimates of the stability of communication channels of an industrial enterprise. An overview of the literature on this problem gave grounds for the classification of channels and indicators of their stability. The main types of communication flows of the enterprise in the aspect of estimation of their stability are simulated. It is proved that the main feature of the instability of the communication channel is the presence of bifurcation noise, the formula for calculating which is proposed in the paper. Also offered are scales for assessing the internal asymmetric vertical channel from subordinates to managers and from managers to subordinates. A qualitative assessment of the internal horizontal communication channel is proposed. The result of the study is the development of a scientific and methodological approach to the control of the stability of communication channels in managing the development of an industrial enterprise, the use of which enables timely detection of communication problems and the adaptation of communication channels to changes in the external environment or the features of internal communications.

The condition of the restaurant business in Ukraine has been studied, and this study showed that at present, many enterprises of the restaurant business cannot stand competition and close down in the context of crisis, high level of inflation, drop of income level of the population. However, the restaurant business is one of the most widespread types of small businesses both in Ukraine and in the world, so the basic directions of its improvement are specified in the article. It is proved that in spite of the large number of scientific papers and publications, the problematic issues of cost accounting at the enterprises of restaurant economy remain unsolved to the full extent. We investigated the role and place of distribution costs and production costs in the circulation of capital and defined their substantive content. It is proved that the activities and internal characteristics of any enterprise better reveal in the functions performed in it that requires a certain amount of time and resource expenses. Therefore, there is a direct link between the cost values for the realization of its common functions, size of the enterprise, features of its activity, sectoral affiliation, that answers the question about the sources of expenses. We suggested a functional and cost-based structure of restaurant business enterprises, recommended classification of expenditure of catering business enterprises, depending on the types of economic activity and enterprise management objectives, which is the basis for the introduction of functional reporting of expenses enterprises restaurant business and calculation of production costs at restaurant business enterprises, and which is also necessary for organization of managerial accounting.

The paper presents the author's approach to ensuring the sustainability of housing and public utilities (HPU). The main methods for securing financial stability of the HPU operation are indicated and analyzed. It is established that the key problems affecting the sustainability of the HPU system relate to the operational element i.e. individual enterprises of the industry. The author demonstrates that improvement of the HPU management system is the most expedient method for enhancement of the HPU sustainability. The analysis also focuses on effectivization of sustainability management of heat supply companies. An integrated model for management of a heat supply company is developed, which is decomposed into 3 submodels: 1) an unpaid demand management model (submodel 1); 2) a lost demand management model (submodel 2); 3) an integrated management model for a heat supply company, which is based on modelling results of submodels 1-2 (submodel 3). To describe the set of the models (1-3), the author applies the simulation modeling technique in the environment of the PowerSіm Application Program Package. A scenario analysis is used to assess the efficiency of various management levers for a heat supply company, some conclusions drawn as to the effectiveness of applying such a scenario as improvement of service, which allows achieving a short-term and long-term growth of the liquid financial result as well as a long-term growth of its financial performance.

The article substantiates the theoretical bases and practical recommendations for the development of integrated industrial structures in the new highly concentrated economy by improving their competitiveness through the selection of more effective forms of functioning. A consistent trend of concentration is observed in the global economy, both as the scale of the industries and business entities and across single countries. According to a research, in the context of a concentration, the economy of Ukraine significantly inferior to the economies of the other countries, both at the level of individual businesses, and at the level of entire industries. In theory and practice of management, there are different approaches of assessing the competitiveness of businesses. At the same time, there is almost no scientific papers that covers the process of assessing the competitiveness of integrated industrial structures, and those that exist do not include the features of the different integrations types of business entities in the integrated industrial structures. At the model level, the type of interaction between integrated industrial structures -- competition -- may be described by qualitative models of population dynamics of interspecific struggle for existence. A model of competition between integrated industrial structures allows to describe the curves of their business cycles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
