Comprehensive economic analysis of economic activity under conditions of uncertainty of the type of corporation

To date, none of the modern classifications of types of corporate enterprises is complete, because it does not accurately describe the essence of the integrated structure. And this is extremely necessary, since it allows not only to clearly identify the place of the company in economic activities, but also to perform qualitatively, many functions, for example, economic analysis of the economic activities of the enterprise.

A classical integrated structure can be defined as an autonomously functioning business entity whose structure includes the central element and the enterprises interacting with it, in relation to which it exercises management functions.

At the present time, a number of classical forms of associations have developed: the financial and industrial group, the concern, the holding, which, according to some characteristics, correspond to the above types, for example, they carry out a comprehensive economic analysis of economic activities and exercise general management, but do not have a correspondence in the national economy.

Based on the analysis of a number of sources, it is possible to specify general criteria for use in this classification. The basis for classifying various types of classical integrated structures is the combination of such characteristics as:

- symmetry of the configuration of the combination of elements of the enterprise;

- degree of economic autonomy of the structural elements of the corporation.

Comprehensive economic analysis of economic activity shows that on the basis of this characteristic three groups of associations are distinguished:

1) associations whose subdivisions are completely autonomous in their economic activities, the construction of such companies is usually symmetrical, that is, practically all the participants in the association have similar configurations of structure and functioning principles;

2) associations in which the limited autonomy of participants is preserved while maintaining independence in management. The configuration of such a union is also symmetric.

3) associations, where some functions, for example, a comprehensive economic analysis of economic activity, are transferred from one unit to another, with the loss of economic autonomy.

Nevertheless, none of the listed classifications is complete, because it does not accurately describe the essence of the integrated structure.

One of the main goals of enterprise transformation, which includes integration, consolidation of capital, is development, which, like the growth of the company, can be carried out in two ways: by organic growth and by external stimulation of growth through sources from outside. Organic growth is chosen by virtually all companies at the initial stages of the life cycle, but its limits do not allow preserving the rates of development necessary for survival in the competitive struggle. In this case, companies begin to grow by acquiring or acquiring other companies, as well as by mergers and the formation of alliances of structures.

Thus, the key factors that influence the classification of corporate structures are the type of transformation and the degree of capital integration. In connection with this, it seems possible to name the complex economic analysis of economic activity as a criterion for such a classification . This will allow us to consider enterprises not as formal legal entities, but as a real aggregate of economic resources. Then, as a criterion underlying the classification, one can consider the degree of integration of the enterprise's economic resources into a joint business group and the stability of the formed structure expressed in terms of its existence. And you can ignore the fact that the company retains or lost its legal independence.
