Management of Changes of Socio-economic Systems: Economic Analysis of the State and Consequences of the Systemic Feature

Abstract

Purpose Determining the methods of changes that ensure achievement of their goals with preservation of basic parameters of socio-economic systems. Discussion Any real socio-economic system, being open and interacting with the external environment, experiences certain fluctuations (random deviations of the system from a certain average state). Under the influence of energy and things that come from the outside, these fluctuations strengthen and start “shattering” the old ties between the elements of the system. The fluctuations are random deviations from the balance in the course of interaction with the environment; with the weakening of internal ties, random changes lead to the necessity for changes of the system. At the same time, the necessity for changes does not mean their determination. Which direction of further movement near the critical point is selected by the system depends primarily on the range of random circumstances or targeted management. Results During selection of the direction of changes, the sub-system of management should take into account that in a new state the managed system should adopt enough inputs from the environment for its preservation—in order to compensate the output and spending of energy and materials used in the process of functioning.
