ANALYSIS OF METHODICAL APPROACHES TO ASSESSING THE LEVEL OF ECONOMIC SECURITY OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Abstract

The study is devoted to the most common methodological approaches to assessing the level of economic security of entrepreneurship. The urgency of developing and implementing a system to maintain the appropriate level of economic security of business is due to current global trends in economic development, accompanied by an increase in the number of new risks and threats in a market economy. Assessing the economic security of entrepreneurship and the formation on its basis of appropriate management decisions are considered as one of the ways to ensure a level that is considered safe. That is why conducting an effective assessment of the level of economic security of entrepreneurship requires a comprehensive approach based on the use of a broad methodological framework. The analysis of modern scientific economic literature made it possible to identify the approaches of scientists involved in the development of methodological tools for assessing the level of economic security of entrepreneurship. At the same time, scientists carry out a methodical assessment of the level of economic security for each component and aggregate the results. The main methodological approaches include: resource-functional, indicator (threshold) approach, program-target (complex) approach, approach based on the theory of economic risks and expert approach (based on the use of expert assessments). Also in this research, a table of comparative characteristics of the main methodological approaches to assessing the economic security of entrepreneurship. Within the limits of the considered approaches their advantages and lacks which it is expedient to consider at an estimation of economic safety of business are defined. Traditional and non-standard approaches to assessing the level of economic security of entrepreneurship are considered, in particular, their types of methods are presented using a diagram-figure. Thus, as a result of the research, the theoretical and methodological basis for assessing the level of economic security of entrepreneurship was analyzed. Based on the existing methodological approaches, measures are proposed to improve the ways of their application, namely, scientific and practical recommendations, which in their content should intensify the formation of new approaches to assessing the level of economic security of entrepreneurship, based not only on retrospective analysis forecasting with the possibility of comparing them.
