Methodology for adapting management decisions for agro-industrial enterprises in times of crisis

Abstract

The article examines the methodology for adapting managerial decisions in agro-industrial enterprises under crisis conditions. Adaptive management serves as a key instrument for ensuring enterprise flexibility in an environment of high uncertainty. The adaptation process involves adjusting the management system to evolving external and internal conditions to minimise the negative impact of crises and ensure the sustainable development of enterprises. In times of economic and social instability, the adaptation of managerial decisions plays a crucial role in maintaining operational efficiency, ensuring business continuity, and preserving competitiveness. 

The primary objective of adaptation is to enhance enterprise resilience to external shocks, optimise resource utilisation, and develop strategies aligned with emerging challenges. Adaptive managerial decisions integrate strategic and operational management, enabling enterprises not only to respond promptly to changes but also to build long-term competitive advantages. Key aspects of adaptation include increasing the flexibility of the organisational structure, mitigating risks, ensuring swift responses to market changes, and fostering business model adaptability. 

Particular attention is given to agro-industrial enterprises, which operate in a high-risk environment and are significantly influenced by natural, economic, and social factors. Effective adaptation enables such enterprises to minimise losses during crises, maintain production efficiency, and establish a foundation for further development. 

The article also explores scenario planning as an effective tool for enhancing enterprise resilience in an unstable external environment. The application of a scenario-based approach allows enterprises to anticipate potential developments, assess risks, and formulate appropriate managerial strategies. This facilitates well-informed decision-making that considers market dynamics, enabling enterprises to maintain stability and competitiveness even in challenging economic conditions.
