Integrating economic security into the enterprise’s sustainable development management system

Abstract

The article examines the problem of integrating enterprise economic security and sustainable development in the context of increasing instability of the economic environment. The growing impact of external and internal risks, ongoing economic transformations, digitalization processes, and the escalation of crisis phenomena necessitate the development of new management approaches aimed at ensuring long-term viability and competitiveness of enterprises. In this regard, the integration of security-oriented and development-oriented management concepts becomes particularly relevant.

The study systematizes modern scientific approaches to the interpretation of economic security as a complex multi-level system encompassing financial, personnel, informational, and technological components of enterprise activity. At the same time, the concept of sustainable development is analyzed as a framework focused on achieving a balance between economic, social, and environmental outcomes. It is established that despite the significant body of research in these areas, their coordination within a unified management system remains insufficiently developed.

The paper substantiates the feasibility of applying an integrated approach, in which economic security is considered a fundamental prerequisite for sustainable enterprise development. A structural model is proposed that combines key components of economic security with the main dimensions of sustainable development, taking into account both internal and external environmental factors. Particular attention is given to the coordination of managerial decisions, the establishment of interconnections between system elements, and the achievement of their synergistic interaction.

To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, a system of indicators is developed, enabling a comprehensive assessment of enterprise performance in terms of both security and sustainability. The use of an integral indicator allows for the aggregation of evaluation results and enhances their analytical value for decision-making processes.

The findings can be applied to improve enterprise management systems, increase adaptability to environmental changes, strengthen competitive positions, and ensure balanced long-term development.
