Information Support for the Socio-Economic Sustainability of Specialized Transport Companies in the Potash Industry

In the context of economic changes, a modern transport enterprise, like any other enterprise producing goods or services, faces many unforeseen socio-economic problems. The sources of increased complexity in managing a specialized transport enterprise are the high degree of uncertainty of the market socio-economic situation, the constant instability of demand for transport services due to the specifics of the transport sector, the high level of competition in the industry, the lack of financial resources, etc. The changed both external and internal socio-economic factors have made significant organizational adjustments in the provision of transport services. This is due to the fact that transportation services and services of other specialized equipment are a very dependent type of economic activity. This industry cannot independently generate demand for its services. It only serves the commodity flows and productions that are created in industry, construction, agriculture and other sectors. This study is based on the already proven approaches of spatial scientometry using a number of data from international databases. This, in turn, allows for a spatial and temporal analysis of the distribution of publications on specialized transport enterprises of the potash industry of the Republic of Belarus, the Russian Federation, etc., as well as other industries. The study uses an interdisciplinary method that made it possible to identify the main aspects of ensuring the socio-economic sustainability of specialized transport enterprises in the potash industry that require adjustments when applied to the design and construction of potash mines. In addition, the features of the main subjects of ensuring the socio-economic sustainability of specialized transport enterprises of the potash industry were identified, and development scenarios were identified. However, there are no possible methodological limitations and their significant impact on the integrity and validity of the results obtained. Thus, the scientific novelty of the presented article is the economic modeling of the socio-economic sustainability of a specialized transport company in the potash industry using IT tools, as well as the adaptation of existing approaches to the conditions of the potash complex
