Security concept in the management of a construction company

Ensuring the economic security of an enterprise, which is an important management task in our time, from a defensive perspective, consists of a complex of interconnected actions aimed at eliminating, preventing, and slowing down the realization of a complementary set of threats to the state of the enterprise or its activities to avoid negative changes or overcome their consequences. Such a set of actions must be timely developed, and its implementation controlled, for which managerial influence is required, which is carried out within a certain managerial approach. Based on the analysis results, it has been shown that it is appropriate to combine the systemic and functional approaches in the form of a systemic-functional approach, the implementation of which is carried out within a certain enterprise management concept. In this concept, the key role belongs to the formulation of the objectives of its activities (or the objectives of the functioning of the “enterprise” system), the hierarchical structure of which is formed through the decomposition of the overall goal (or the first-order goal) into sub-goals at lower levels, which clarify and specify it according to the circumstances and characteristics of the enterprise’s activities. The most common management concepts of enterprises (traditional, marketing) have been analyzed and a security management concept has been proposed for use, which highlights, based on a systems-functional approach, the overall system functions of the “enterprise” system, where general management functions and functional subsystems are in a certain relationship. Alongside the leading overall system functions of the “enterprise” system, the security management function is also included, revealing the content of the subfunctions of the security management function of the “enterprise” system. Created the architecture of relationships, interactions, and communications of structural units and performers (employees) of the enterprise in ensuring its activities, which provides an understanding of the overall composition of actions, their sequence and interrelation in the form of mutual assistance, exchange of information, resources, and results of work performed, coordination of actions, as well as in resolving conflicts and issues between departments and officials, which are almost inevitable during long, often tense collaboration. The content of management constructs in terms of ensuring economic security in the context of adoption and implementation of management decisions is revealed using the example of construction companies. The specific content of these constructs determines the peculiarities of enterprise management in a certain type of economic activity in terms of ensuring its economic security.
