The role of quality management in the enhancement of competitiveness of enterprises is considered. The modern factors of quality of product assurance as a component of enterprise competitiveness are defined by authors. The data on the milk prices of different classes sold by agricultural enterprises for dairy plants and the cost of milk production at these enterprises in 2015-2019 in Ukraine were analyzed. This analysis testifies low incentives of milk producers to increase the quality of products due to the cost-price factor and substitution effect. The main blocks of the integrated quality management system (IQMS) are designed for agricultural enterprises to increase their competitiveness. The construction of IQMS of enterprises is made on the foundation of TQM and added by the focuses, tools, blocks, and forms of integration within the system and with other enterprise systems and the external environment. The findings of this study came up with the importance of implementing marketing of quality block, and built-in environment quality management in all blocks of IQMS.

The growth and development of a developing economy depend on the sustainable growth and development of the industrial sector of the nation. The study is based on the secondary data and chain-based index numbers calculated to get the growth trend of the industrial establishments that explains the extreme polar developing industrial establishments defined as economic activity. The analysis and interpretations explain that the establishments highest in number produce household or personal accessories while the minerals, petroleum, and pharmaceutical preparation establishments lowest in Saudi Arabia. The fastest-growing establishments related to mining and petroleum or wearing apparel and wooden products while establishments related tobacco products, furniture, paper products. Possibly, low demand for the products, unavailability of finance and skilled human resources, complex labor laws, regulatory systems, and insufficient technical and financial assistance affects the lowest number and slowest growing industrial establishments in Saudi Arabia.

Nowadays in Ukraine there is a high increase rate of technological efficiency in agricultural production. However, there are a number of problems related to the distortion of the efficiency indicators for individual branches of agriculture as well as for groups of agricultural enterprises. The purpose of this paper is to determine specific aspects for the formation of certain parameters of production technological efficiency in agricultural enterprises of Ukraine. The relation of technological efficiency with other types of agricultural production efficiency has been investigated. The technological efficiency computation methods required for achieving the desired profitability rates at agricultural enterprises and their practical importance have been presented. Reliance of production technological efficiency and agricultural enterprises' innovation activity has been investigated. The necessity to improve the system of introduction the innovations into agricultural production has been grounded.

In this study it is proved that today the economy of Ukraine depends on external sources of supply of these energy resources, which negatively affects its energy security. Ways to overcome this dependence are: development and expansion of own oil and gas production; implementation of energy-saving measures at processing enterprises; a departure from primary resource processing and a reorientation of the economy to high-tech products; diversification of supply sources of energy resources. In view of the above, managing the effective development of Ukraine's oil and gas sector is an actual scientific issue that needs to be addressed. So the practical aspects of implementing the Leontiev's input-output model based on the activity of the oil and gas sector were further developed, which, unlike the existing ones, made it possible to establish a relationship between the pricing policy of the industries and their resource efficiency.

To secure a continuous activity in the conditions of sustainability of farming enterprises it is necessary to introduce innovations from internal financial source, i.e. profit. The innovative constituent of farming enterprises development is based on determination of the relationship between the elements of the resource component of production potential and profit. Localization and branch-organizational structure of farming enterprises continuously influence combination of the elements of the resource component of production potential, which determines the size of profit. Family farming enterprises need attraction of external sources for innovation financing. Farming enterprises with above 20 ha of arable land generate rather large profit in the process of reproduction. The profit can be reinvested in the innovative development in the next cycle.

In this regard, this study aims to analyze the relationship between agriculture extension agent quality with farmers' soft skill competence, teamwork, and its impact on increasing productivity of farmers from the perspective of extension agents. This research was conducted using quantitative methods, with structural equation modeling (SEM)-Amos as a study tool. The study was conducted on 2,350 extension agents (civil servants) in South and West Sulawesi. Until the specified time limit, only 123 extension agents filled out the questionnaire from the total extension agents at the study site. This study found that the quality of agricultural extension agents can improve farmers' productivity through soft skills competence and teamwork. The result contributes to the empirical study limitations of the relationship between agriculture extension agent quality and productivity of farmers, especially the indirect effect through soft skill competence and teamwork, even though this study is in terms of the extension agent itself.

In order to maintain competitive positions in the industrial market, an enterprise should use innovative approaches based on constant analysis of the economic environment and forecasting of possible technological changes in it. The purpose of the study is to investigate the problem of strategic management of an innovative marketing orientation enterprise in order to determine its competitive position in the industrial market. The article deals with an example of the practical application of the methodology for constructing innovative development scenarios and describes the results of the application of each step with the help of reframing theory and methods of economic and mathematical modeling. The integral indicators of the state of the external and internal environment of the enterprise are determined, which allows to take into account the uncertainty factor in the selection and development of the strategy. As a result of the research, scenario modeling was proposed to determine the scenarios of enterprise innovative development.

The article deals with the problems of factor analysis of the innovativeness of plant industry development. The methodical approach to the quantitative assessment of the factors of patterns of change in profit as a criterion for innovation of the development of the plant industry is substantiated. The use of sound methodological approach allows to identify the presence or absence of innovative development and to quantify the impact of technological, marketing and economic innovations on the trends of economic dynamics of the industry. It has been proven that marketing and technology are the most common innovations in all the objects studied, while insufficient attention is paid to innovation in the area of operating expenses.
