The Mechanism for Ensuring the Economic Security of the Enterprise under the Influence of the External Environment

The article is devoted to the development of a mechanism for ensuring the economic security of enterprise under the influence of the external environment. The relevance of the study of scientific approaches to the mechanism of ensuring the economic security of enterprise under the influence of the external environment is determined, in particular, the essence of the mechanism, structure, goals, objectives, patterns and methods of ensuring economic security are considered. It is proposed to understand the mechanism of ensuring the economic security of enterprise functioning as a set of interrelated and interacting elements that are aimed at creating conditions for the effective operation of enterprise and protecting it from external and internal threats. The main elements of the mechanism are defined, which include: the form of organization of production, economic or economic connections (relations), the system of incentives, management, planning, financing, taxation, and pricing. It is noted that the target orientation of the mechanism is determined by organizational forms and economic instruments. Organizational forms are organizational structures that are responsible for ensuring the economic security of an enterprise. Economic methods and measures that are used to ensure the economic security of an enterprise are economic instruments. The theoretical and philosophical component, which is the foundation of the formation of the mechanism and represents a system of beliefs in the enterprise system, which contains a way of thinking and obligations of each employee to perform their job functions in accordance with safety requirements, is substantiated. The main functional components are defined, namely: financial, intellectual and personnel, technical and technological, political and legal, informational, environmental, and power. Prospects for further research in this direction are the definition of specific instruments of the mechanism depending on the conditions of functioning of enterprise, the stage of development of its financial and economic activity and, as a result, on the level of economic security of enterprise.
