Engineering Situational Analysis of Enterprise Economic Security

The paper explores a new approach to engineering situational analysis of economic security of the enterprise. The proposed approach involves a varied assessment of its value for further computing a number of system-forming indicators of the initial, current and prospective level of security based on the application of engineering tools and technologies. The formation and functioning of the engineering situational analysis tools are aimed primarily at protecting property relations. The authors' innovative solution contains a structural-logical model served as the basis for arranging and conducting a situational analysis of economic security and provided multivariate and alternative protection results. Besides, the authors recommend employing situational derivative balances to assess the impact of the situational factors on enterprise economic security, to estimate the cost-effectiveness of the implemented protective measures within constant and variable blocks of the methodology. It allows creating a flexible and adaptive mechanism for managing security and developing the enterprise. The utility of the proposed methodology is highlighted by software designed to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the settlement and analytical procedures.
