Entrepreneurial Approach to City Management

Abstract

In the article, a theoretical and methodological substantiation of the strategy of structural development based on the statics and dynamics, qualitative and quantitative, vertical and horizontal interrelationships of the processes of structuring economic systems in the current and long-term perspective is developed on the basis of the synthesis of domestic and foreign research. Clarification of scientific definitions enabled the authors to give a definition of the concept of “structural development” as a guided progressive evolutionary and procedural transformation that forms new potential for economic growth through systemic convergence and the balance of quantitative and qualitative processes that qualitatively transform a certain economic system. The concept of the strategy of structural development takes into account objective economic laws and laws governing the speed and intensity of effective changes in the economic mechanism of managing the national economy at all levels – from the enterprise and the industry to the country as a whole. To analyze the structural dynamics, we propose a system-process approach in which, along with individual ones, aggregated indices are recommended, which makes it possible to study cumulative-dynamic states of transformation simultaneously as a result and as a prerequisite for structural development. Among all extractive industries, the coal industry holds one of the leading places that determines the priorities for sustainable development of the country. The testing of the proposed methods for diagnosing structural development was carried out with reference to the analysis and evaluation of indicators of the dynamics of structural transformations at enterprises of the Russian coal industry, where prolonged structural reorganization is observed. Analysis of the dynamics of indicators of Russia’s structural development for 2006-2016 illustrates the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of crisis situations during periods of structural transformations with the predominance of inertial components that form economic growth. This brings about the need to search for new scientific approaches that allow the modeling of the vector and the pace of optimal changes, taking into account more complex horizontal and vertical relationships, trends and specific evolution that determine disproportions of different structures. The purpose of the study is determined by the urgency and growing theoretical and practical importance of the problem of developing a scientifically based strategy for the structural development of economic systems at various hierarchical levels of national economic management. The solution to this problem calls for the identification of structural adjustment priorities using appropriate indicators and methods for assessing optimization changes based on the transition from extensive to intensive growth in order to achieve sustainable economic dynamics in the long term.
