Abstract

Within the framework of modern world conditions faced by the Ukrainian business subjects of the agrifood sector, conducting research on the possibility of using new methodologies in management can be an added advantage to optimizing and increasing the effectiveness of their performance. The purpose of this study was to highlight and summarize the work on the principles of introducing modern methodologies into general management systems as tools for increasing the effectiveness of strategic management in the agri-food sector, considering the modern world conditions. The study used general scientific and special research methods: monographic; theoretical generalization, analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction; structural and logical analysis; grouping and classification. The author substantiated the expediency of using flexible management methods in agri-food enterprises. The priority of using Agile management methods was identified, the advantages and disadvantages of using Kanban and Scrum methodologies in the management of an agri-food enterprise were investigated, and their main elements were determined (classification of roles in the team, key concepts, principles). Features of the functioning of business entities in the conditions of SPOD, VUCA, and BANI worlds were provided. It was noted that the flexible methods under study are aimed at the evolutionary development of organizations, i.e., gradual improvements that, in the end, ensure the effectiveness of management at a prominent level. This paper expands practical approaches to the application of flexible management methods in agri-food enterprises, which lays the foundation for further research on strategic management in the agri-food sector under the conditions of the need for their constant reorientation and adaptation to the BANI world. The practical significance of the study lies in the development and implementation of proposals and practical recommendations for the use of Agile management methods in the management system of an agri-food enterprise as a means of improving the effectiveness of strategic management
