Matrix Approach to Designing Principles of Management of Transport Enterprises

The objective of the article is to substantiate the matrix approach to the design of the principles of management of transport organisations and businesses, as well as to clarify and supplement the quantity and quality of these principles. Classification was chosen as research method, and binary matrices formed based on classification features of objects and their variants were used as a tool. The following results have been obtained within the study: an approach to the design of the principles of management of transport organisations and businesses has been substantiated, ensuring their structuring and coordination both vertically or at management levels, and horizontally or by positions; variants of the principles of management of an organisation or a business have been developed; directions for improving the management systems of transport enterprises and chains based on them are determined. The implementation of the results obtained will reduce lost profits of enterprises and chains based on them, reduce the time and cost of preparing and implementing management decisions, allow timely responding to the unique requirements of end users and/or services, as well as ensuring compliance of the parameters and characteristics of the internal environment of enterprises and chains based on them with the duration and volatility of environmental factors.
