The results of recent studies of the processes of domestic enterprises prove the need to focus on decision-making in conditions of high uncertainty, institutional restrictions and interests of interested groups influencing the adoption of the strategically important decisions. The authors propose to consider the strategic decision as a result of collective choice as to means and actions that meet the principles of corporate management and the interests of the main groups – participants of corporate relations to achieve strategic goals. From such positions, the types of strategic decisions are grouped according to the following signs: purposefulness and content of the issues to make up decisions; organizational model of decision-making; completeness of knowledge and ways of their application by decision-makers. The results of a comprehensive analysis of the state and prospects of enterprise development are presented in order to study the peculiarities of strategic decision-making at the enterprises of the machine-building industry according to their allocated signs. The technology of comprehensive analysis of the strategic decisions of enterprises consists of stages and an evaluation-analytical instrumentarium – indicators and criteria, methods of evaluation, analysis and interpretation of results. The built up system of indicators corresponds to the functional spheres of the enterprise according to the criteria of financial-economic stability, production efficiency, effectiveness of marketing activities and efficiency of use of staff. The defined criteria and indicators act as rational basis for the development, comparison and choice of alternatives to development, substantiation of strategic decisions of enterprise. As a result of the carried out cluster analysis according to the computed generalized performance indicators of 18 machine-building enterprises of Kharkiv region, clusters of enterprises, development strategies and identical strategic solutions for each cluster of enterprises are allocated as follows: technical and technological development (product renewal, expansion of sale markets and search for new ones, restructuring of production capacities) and ensuring the sustainability of the financial-economic condition (through consolidation and movement of capital, saving, costs reduction, search for additional sources of income, recovery of assets).

The article considers the basic methodical principles of the monitoring of labor market in the conditions of systemic transformations. It is defined that by means of monitoring the government authorities are able to adjust their actions to reduce negative influences on the labor market. It is defined that the Ukrainian labor market begins to look like the Brownian movement: enterprises are forced to curtail production, reduce sales, save and, as a result, freeze vacancies, lay off staff. The carried out monitoring identified the riskiest industries in terms of balancing supply and demand. The industries, which delay wages and reduce its level, stop paying bonuses, suspend the opening of new offices of companies and recruitment of staff, are allocated. It is determined that, despite high social benefits for the unemployed, the power of European countries in various ways stimulates the creation of new jobs and the preservation of old ones. The directions to increase the objectivity of the analysis and forecast of the situation in the labor market in connection with the persistence of the consequences of the crisis developments are defined. It is determined that it is appropriate to monitor the implementation of activities of Ukrainian subjects to promote employment and reduce tension in the labor market – in terms of employment and forecasted distribution of graduates of educational institutions at all levels through employment channels, including those registered as unemployed. The principles allowing to form an efficient system of monitoring the labor market have been allocated. It is defined that the result of monitoring is obtaining the information necessary to make managerial decisions on policy formation in the sphere of employment. An algorithm for monitoring the employment sector in the labor market in Ukraine has been proposed. It is defined that use of multidimensional comparative analysis, in particular the method of taxonometrics, is feasible in building an integral indicator. It is determined that the resulting system of quantitative assessments of the level of employment of the population sets the task of their qualitative interpretation, one of the ways of solving which is the application of desirability functions. Based on the carried out calculations, it is determined that the social indicator had the greatest impact on the employment rate. On the basis of monitoring, the main factors influencing the formation of the labor market in Ukraine are allocated. In developing ways to increase employment of the population, regulating these factors should be considered as a priority. It is proved that monitoring is appropriate to carry out according to the proposed indicators, as they have the greatest impact on the employment rate of the population.

Ensuring the sufficient level of economic security of activities of transport enterprises in market conditions is one of the main tasks of management because the efficiency of enterprises’ performance is dependant upon. In the article, on the basis of analysis of scientific sources, is defined that the the complex (integral) approach is most widespread in terms of determination of the level of economic security of enterprise. The article proposes a methodical approach to determination of the level of counteraction to threats towards economic security of transport enterprises on the basis of integral assessment. A sequence and a system of indicators of assessment of the economic security level of transport enterprise are elaborated according to the types of threats. Concerning the results of the carried out expert survey, the integral index of the level of economic security of transport enterprises is suggested, calculated for three transport enterprises, selected for the research. The results of calculation of the integral index of economic security for the researched transport enterprises allowed to define the list of priority measures as to ensuring the target level of economic security. Application of the suggested integrated assessment will allow a transport enterprise to ensure the adoption of efficient management decisions aimed at minimization or avoiding the impact of threats on its activities, and therefore, achieving a high level of its economic security.
