Harmony of Structure in Ensuring Viability of Entrepreneurship (p. 106 - 110)
The author grounds principles of formation of structure and manifestation of structural properties, which result in the state of viability of entrepreneurship and its elements. Viability of entrepreneurship is considered in accordance with the S. Beer concept and includes five Systems. According to the S. Beer model, modern entrepreneurship has no structure which would correspond with a viable system. Under modern conditions of the system, entrepreneurs, that are responsible for co-ordination and control of entrepreneurial activity, and management systems are uncoordinated. Development of information channels and co-ordination of the systems justify a necessity of weakening the borders of small business and bodies of state administration, since viability, in particular system stability, depends on its connections with external environment. Moreover, participation of public organisations is mandatory. The article develops principles of formation of a structure, which result in the state of viability of entrepreneurship and its elements and are based on cyclicity of processes of organisation and self-organisation that give birth to the processes of management and self-management. The author makes a conclusion that management of viability of the system of entrepreneurship should take place by means of overcoming contradictions, co-ordination of the structure and harmonisation of functions and connections.

Risks and Threats in the Formation of the Business Potential of Region (p. 143 - 147)
The article is aimed to study the catalysts that determine the emergence of risks and threats, influencing the level of business potential in the region. These catalysts are exogenous (factors of direct and indirect effect) and endogenous (related to staff and resources). We assume that an enterprise can and has the ability to prevent occurrence of such catalysts, to react promptly to manifestations of destabilization in its activities and foresee the causes of crisis processes. It has been proven that in some cases they are independent from the quality of the enterprise's activity, and in others – are determined by its economic activity that has complex effects on the formation of business potential. As result of the study on risk indicators for the business potential of region, a method for calculation of the integral indicator of the overall risk level to the business potential has been proposed, on the basis of which the relevant strategies to counter risks, threats and restrictions on the part of the environment have been built. A Top-10 of the most significant risks that affected the economic activities of enterprises in 2014 has been formed.

Small Business in Ukraine: Development Trends and Taxation Issues (p. 102 - 107)
The article discusses issues and prospects of small business taxation in Ukraine. The article is aimed to evaluate the trends of development of small business in Ukraine, to identify issues of taxation of its activities and substantiate the ways to solve them. According to the results of the research has been determined that the small and medium business in Ukraine is developing with insufficient pace, which indicates the untapped potential. One of the reasons for the insufficiently active development of small business in Ukraine are distortions in the taxation system, creating prerequisites for using small business in the tax minimization schemes, rather than implementation of real activity. The changes in the arrangements for levying a single tax on legal and natural persons have been positive, because at a nominal decrease in the number of single tax payers amounts of their revenue have increased, and so have the amounts of single tax paid. When studying the foreign experience, has been determined that in most economically developed countries alternative tax regimes are either not used or used only during a certain period of time. Instead they have a massive list of tax incentives in the boundaries of regular tax system. Such experience should be implemented into practice of taxation in Ukraine. The foreign experience also demonstrates the high requirements for accounting and financial reporting. Similar requirements should be introduced in Ukraine, this will significantly improve the quality of financial reporting and will increase the confidence of lenders and investors towards the enterprises operating in the sector of small business.

One of the main trends of the 20th – early 21st centuries is establishment of integrated business structures, which have a significant impact on the economies of both individual States and the world economy as a whole. During the development of integrated business structures (IBS) a significant number of their varied forms had emerged, including: trusts, pools, syndicates, cartels, industrial complexes, associations, alliances, conglomerates, consortia, corporations, strategic alliances, financial-industrial groups, creative manager corporations, strategic families, technology parks, etc. We want to draw attention to the fact that the number of forms of IBS is not permanent. The existing forms are developed along with further development of economy. Despite the significant amount of scientific literature, aimed at consideration of forms of IBS, a definite answer to the question: which one of them under what conditions and at what time would be advisable to unite with, or which one of them would be the most competitive, – is missing. In this connection, the above characteristics of the organizational forms of IBS are of importance and require further research. Article is written in Ukrainian

The elements of business plan, which occur in more than 66% of the standards of business plans, have been allocated: environment analysis, risk analysis, strategy, operational unit, production, marketing, finance, personnel, organization, and management. Five main blocks of the elements have been allocated: analytics, strategy, processes, resources, management. The mnemonic abbreviations that simplify memorization of the basic blocks have been proposed. Article is written in Russian

Several Methods for Evaluating the Investment Attractiveness of Small Innovation Enterprises (p. 171 - 178)
An important factor of impact on the development and living abilities of small and medium-sized innovation enterprises, including startups, is the opportunity to evaluate their investment attractiveness. The main reason for the «failure» of such enterprises is the lack of instrumentarium to forecast the potential number of their customers, and therefore their financial results. The article suggests the number of projected customers as an indicator for evaluation of the investment attractiveness of small innovation enterprises. The authors propose to use a number of mathematical models on the basis of the instrumentarium of descriptive statistics and simulation modeling. The proposed models are built on the basis of the hypothesis of normality of the distribution law of random amounts of income clients and allow forecasting with high accuracy in relation to the day of week, and therefore evaluating the investment risks for potential investors.

Entrepreneurship Development in Region: Sectoral Dimension (p. 161 - 170)
The article explores the tendencies of entrepreneurship development in region (on the example of the Zaporizhzhya region). Based on the statistics of the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine and the General Directorate of Statistics in the Zaporizhzhya region, the article analyzes the main indicators of the activities of the economic entities in this region; the main indicators of the financial-economic activities of the enterprises in the Zaporizhzhya region (by types of economic activity); financial results before taxation per enterprise in the Zaporizhzhya region; financial results before taxation of enterprises in the individual regions of Ukraine; the main structural indicators of the small enterprises’ activities in the individual regions of Ukraine. Some data on entrepreneurship development in several regions of Ukraine are compared with the corresponding indicators of the Gomel region of the Republic of Belarus. The carried out research allowed to state the following: change in the structure of the region’s economic entities during the research period towards an increase in the share of enterprises and, consequently, a decrease in the share of individuals - entrepreneurs; the lower rate of decline in employment in the Zaporizhzhya region than in Ukraine as a whole; a high proportion of innovatively active industrial enterprises in the total number of industrial enterprises in the Zaporizhzhya region compared to the neighboring regions (except Kharkiv region) and the country as a whole; positive tendency in the volume of sold innovative products by the region’s industrial enterprises; increased importance of the small business’ influence on the economic development of the Zaporizhzhya region, as evidenced by the high average annual growth rate of the number of small enterprises in the region compared to a number of neighboring regions, as well as the growth of volume of the products (goods and services) sold by small businesses. It is determined that the importance of business development for the Zaporizhzhya region is conditioned by the need to move from the model of economic development based on the activities of large enterprises - processors of raw materials to more diversified and open economic model based on small and medium-sized entrepreneurship with high innovation potential, resilience to crisis phenomena and the ability to adapt quickly to new economic conditions and environmental challenges. Therefore, the first-priority measures are: modernization of the outdated equipment and technologies; introduction of energy-saving technologies, alternative energy; spatial deconcentration of economic entities.

An Elusive Concept: The Problem of Defining Social Entrepreneurship (p. 128 - 139)
Interest in social entrepreneurship has been growing over the last two decades among both practitioners and academics. However, despite the numerous studies and a large body of literature on social entrepreneurship, the concept remains fuzzy and open to different interpretations. One of the reasons why the concept eludes the grasp is that social entrepreneurship is a multidimensional phenomenon, which can take a great variety of forms. The purpose of this paper is to review the approaches to defining social entrepreneurship, to show the major challenges in drawing the boundaries between social and commercial entrepreneurship as well as between social entrepreneurship and other types of social activities, to identify relevant dimensions for differentiation. Having analyzed different definitions of social entrepreneurship, we have identified eight dimensions of this phenomenon. We have shown that within most of those dimensions the characteristics of social entrepreneurial activities can change along a continuum. The points of contention among researchers of social entrepreneurship are related to the boundaries within which these characteristics can be varied without compromising the social entrepreneurial status of an activity. The proposed dimensions might provide additional insight into the phenomenon of social entrepreneurship, help identify different forms of social entrepreneurship and systemize the results of empirical studies. The list of dimensions is not exhaustive, and as empirical evidence accumulates and new types of social entrepreneurship appear, new dimensions can be added. Article is written in English

The Economic Situation in Ukraine: Business Expectations (p. 203 - 209)
Significant efforts have been made over the past five years to improve the economic situation and economic growth to simplify the conduct of business. However, Ukraine is now perceived as a country with excessive regulation and high levels of corruption, which is not favorable for the business environment. Therefore, research on the factors that affect business expectations at the current stage is extremely relevant. The article is aimed at studying the conditions for creating a favorable environment for business by introducing deregulation measures, eliminating excessive administrative burdens on business and reducing the State control. In the study, the methodology of statistical analysis and the scientific approach of «forecasting» are used. Business expectations, which mainly consist of positive assessments and forecasts regarding the economic situation in Ukraine, are evaluated. However, the business environment notes that Ukraine still has problems in organizing and implementing reforms. The main problem directions have been defined as follows: unstable production growth, shortage of qualified personnel, low growth rates, coherence of the legislative environment. The existence of informal relations between the various branches of government and business has been discovered. Respondents of all economic activities, except energy and water companies, predict growth in total sales volumes and improved financial-economic conditions. Enterprises in the trade and processing industries have the highest expectations. The shortage of qualified personnel may be one of the factors that will hamper economic activity in the future. Prospect for further research in this direction is the issue of developing measures to improve the expectations of the business environment. In practical terms, there is a disparity between the regions of Ukraine and the scale of business relative to the economic expectations for 2020. Article is written in Ukrainian

Improving the Financial Efficiency of Business Activities in the Context of the Implementation of Administrative-Territorial Reform in Ukraine (p. 210 - 217)
The article is aimed at defining the prognostic financial indicators of revenues to local budgets from the implementation of entrepreneurial activities in the conditions of reforming the administrative-territorial structure of Ukraine. The volumes of income to the local budgets of newly formed territorial communities are analyzed and the prognostic figures of revenues from land fees, as a result of entrepreneurial activities, to the budgets of prospective united territorial communities (UTCs) are defined. It is substantiated that the value of the capitalized rental income standard, on the basis of which the normative monetary valuation of the agricultural land of prospective territorial communities be determined, is greater than the assessment of such land in communities that have not united, which becomes an additional incentive to unite and strengthens the decentralization processes. The results of the studies show that after determining a normative monetary valuation of the agricultural land, located outside the settlements of the united territorial communities, its importance for arable land in Ukraine on the average is: max – 32928,25 UAH/ha in Cherkasy region and min – 12936,55 UAH/ha – in Lviv region, that is, an excess of 2,54 times and by 19991,70 UAH/ha. When renting agricultural land located outside the settlements of the united territorial communities, the normative monetary valuation of which was carried out at the level of the 1% rate, the difference in the projected revenues in their budgets is 14719,53 UAH/year (max – 20485,47 thousand UAH – according to the UTCs in Dnipropetrovsk region and min – 694,72 UAH – according to the UTCs in Zakarpattya region. The cost of service of such land exceeds its minimum figure by 29,48 times. The prognostic volumes of single tax revenues to the budgets of the prospective UTCs amount to 2555525,00 UAH, which makes 13,49% of the estimated volume of payments on rent and land tax (as part of the property tax). The maximum projected rental and land tax revenues (at the level of 1%) are related to Dnipropetrovsk region, and the minimal ones are related to Zakarpattya and Vinnytsya regions, which is mainly due to the area that is transferred to the ownership of an UTC, subject to their uniting.

The Role of Small and Medium-Sized Businesses in the Financial Relations of Local Self-Government (p. 147 - 154)
The publication is aimed at defining the role and place of small and medium-sized businesses in the formation of financial relations at the local level. The analysis of the latest scientific developments has showed a significant interest in the problems of existence of small and medium-sized businesses and has confirmed the relevance of research in this direction. The publication analyzes statistics on the activities of small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine, which show that in recent years there has been some decrease in the number of medium-sized enterprises. At the same time, the comparative dynamics of sales volumes shows the growth of its share compared to large enterprises. Also, the carried out analysis confirmed the significant role of small and medium-sized businesses in the formation of financial results, which is the source of taxation. The presence of a significant amount of profit before tax allows small and medium-sized enterprises to use it as an additional financial resource and direct a part of the profit to fill local budgets. The role of small and medium-sized businesses in ensuring employment of the population is essential. Studies have displayed that the share of employees at small and medium-sized businesses comprises 70-75%. The carried out analysis of the tax impact of small and medium-sized enterprises on filling the income part of local budgets demonstrates that the key role therein is played by the payment of single tax and personal income tax. One can conclude that there are positive growth tendencies as to volumes of single tax, but these revenues are still insufficient to wholly fill local budgets with the necessary financial resources and reduce the expenditures on subsidized territorial communities or even make them self-paying. Prospect for further research is to identify factors and determinants of the influence on the efficiency of small and medium-sized businesses in order to form strategic vectors of their development and government support.

The Alternative Directions of Entrepreneurship in Beekeeping (p. 171 - 176)
The article is aimed at researching the possibilities of using alternative directions of agricultural production in beekeeping as an additional resource to ensure the efficiency of entrepreneurship. Approaches to the development of the potential of the industry in order to increase economic results due to untapped and hidden opportunities are considered. In particular, in the industry of cattle breeding there is a certain shortage of natural high-quality protein feed, and in the field of beekeeping the honey base suffers a fairly low level of differentiation and, as a result, almost all honey produced in Ukraine is monofloral – from sunflower. It is not a high-precision product and is not very appreciated in the honey market due to rapid crystallization. The share of sunflower in the structure of acreage in the State is quite high, its size during the years of independence increased more than 3.5 times, including due to perennial herbs. It is proposed to look for hidden opportunities in this very context, through the introduction of a number of organizational, technological, agronomic, regulatory measures to use untapped opportunities in order to improve the effectiveness of entrepreneurial activities in each industry and to better the qualitative indicators on other sensitive issues in the agrarian sector. The article examines the possible impact of conducting production activities in beekeeping in view of implementing the soil-saving measures. The approach to improving the economic results of agricultural enterprises by optimizing and rationalizing the main types of activity and alternative industries, which on the basis of bifurcation positively influence the increase of economic efficiency of entrepreneurial activity, is researched. The system of organization of measures related to the use of additional potential by performing agrotechnological operations that increase productivity in a separate revenue-forming activity of both major and alternative productions is proposed.

Significant Aspects of Establishing Policy in the Field of Innovative Entrepreneurship in the Context of the Socio-Economic Development of Ukraine's Regions (p. 275 - 281)
The content of the article actualizes a number of important issues as to provision of policy in the sphere of supporting innovative entrepreneurship. In the course of their study, the authors note that the socio-economic development of countries is influenced by the degree of innovativeness of the economy. This encourages to consider innovative entrepreneurship as an important resource for the development of innovative processes in the country, and the support of innovative entrepreneurship is considered a key factor in solving the main problems of sustainable socio-economic development of the regions of Ukraine. The country has a fairly strong base for scientific and technical developments, a powerful innovation potential, but there are problems with implementation of the latter due to insufficient focus on the formation of an effective innovative policy and the policy of development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are the main suppliers of innovations in the national innovation system. The results of the study draw attention to the feasibility of integrating innovative policies with the corporate social responsibility development policies and the SME development policies. An integration will allow achieving greater economic return and social benefits through the implementation of a more efficient relationship between the providers of socio-economic development of region on the organization and provision of opportunities for the development of complex regional, interregional and global value-creating networks. This approach also involves taking into account the factors influencing the innovation dynamics with the constant improvement of the system of formation and implementation of the State and regional priorities in the field of regulation of science, investment, innovation, entrepreneurial and socially responsible activities, in accordance with the implementation of the principles of sustainable development.

The Theory and Practice of Choosing Perspective Directions of Small Business Development in Ukraine and the World (p. 281 - 286)
The article is aimed at a theoretical generalization of forms, methods and instrumentarium for choosing perspective directions for small business development in Ukraine. At present, there are a significant number of scientific achievements on the formation of a balanced government policy on the State regulation of small business development in Ukraine. The legal principles of the State regulation of activities of business entities that aim to make a profit are determined by the Law of Ukraine «On the Associations of Economic Management». Generalization of the theoretical developments of domestic and foreign scholars on the choice of methods for determining the current state and prospects for the development of small business representatives allowed to distinguish the most common approaches to solving this issue. Most specialists are inclined to define the need for a comprehensive assessment of the state of small business entities both in the whole country and in its administrative territories. The most common techniques include: analysis of statistical indicators of the state of small business and their dynamics for a certain period; comparative analysis of the state of small business development by types of economic activity both in the inland territories and in the countries of the world; compiling a SWOT analysis with the definition of strengths and weaknesses, as well as external opportunities and threats to small businesses; computing the integral indicator of the level using the taxonomic analysis and the method of ranking of research objects; classification of levels of development of small business representatives based on the results of cluster analysis. The disadvantages of these approaches are that their computing does not take into account the significance of certain indicators of integrated evaluation, that is, these methods are incapable of giving clear answers to the question of finding perspective directions for the development of the small business sector. Also, the above methods do not reflect the territorial specifics of the development of certain types of economic activity, taking into account the representatives of small business and their role and place in a particular industry in a timely context over the years. All of the above has created the basis for searching a new instrumentarium to choose perspective directions for small business development in Ukraine. Article is written in Ukrainian

On the basis of the programs developed by the government to stimulate the development of small businesses, the main tasks that must be fulfilled for the implementation of the proposed measures have been formed. The main measures to stimulate entrepreneurial initiatives include the following: preferential lending to small businesses, tax holidays, targeted financing of regional programs.

Franchising in Ukraine: The Realities and Prospects of Development in the Conditions of Martial Law (p. 145 - 153)
The article is aimed at studying the development of franchising in Ukraine in the prewar period, as well as its realities, features and prospects for development under martial law. It is noted that after the declaration of martial law on the territory of Ukraine and the beginning of the active phase of military actions, most of the business was actually paralyzed due to various factors and the impossibility of carrying out economic activities by enterprises located in the territory of hostilities. Instead, franchising is an up-to-date economic model for organizing and carrying out entrepreneurial activities that will allow businesses to survive and develop in this difficult time for the country. The accomplished analysis of the dynamics of franchising in Ukraine for 2017–2020 showed that franchising has been slowly but steadily developing in recent years, which justifies the annual increase in the number of franchisers and franchised facilities, an increase in the number of domestic and foreign brands in the franchise market. Precisely the increase in the share of Ukrainian franchises has been determined, since the franchise business model itself better takes into account local realities. The franchising created in Ukraine is more adapted to local market requirements; Ukrainian franchises are competitive, have a comprehensive business development program and strong support after the launch of a franchise project; the domestic franchising is directed towards further cooperation on a long-term basis. Based on a study by the financial portal Fibi, a rating of the best franchises in Ukraine in 2022 in trade, services and catering is compiled. It is also noted that during the wartime in Ukraine, some countries significantly simplified the rules for starting a business by Ukrainians, which facilitates the creation of a market for Ukrainian franchises abroad and the spread of national brands. It is defined that in order to support the Ukrainian economy during martial law, the government has introduced comprehensive changes to legislation and State-supported programs, which will help the development of entrepreneurship and the spread of franchising.

Assessing and Analyzing the Quality of the Component of the Territorial Communities Development Strategies Regarding the Development of Entrepreneurship on Formal Grounds (p. 100 - 109)
The article is aimed at quantitative determination of the level of quality of the components for the development of entrepreneurship in the currently formed in Ukraine Strategies for the Development of Territorial Communities (TCs) in order to clarify the directions for their further improvement. A quantitative assessment of the quality of the components of entrepreneurship development from the representative sample of local Strategies was carried out by analyzing their structural integrity, for which it was proposed to introduce a coefficient of compliance of the structure of the component of entrepreneurship development (CED) with the methodological recommendations of the Ministry for Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine. To assess and analyze the quality of the components of entrepreneurship development, the method of successive approximations of its structure to the requirements of the methodological recommendations of the Ministry for Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine was applied. The analysis of the obtained results indicates a large underperformance of the components of entrepreneurship development in the Strategies of territorial communities, which is 32%, as well as a significant lag in their quality in the Strategies elaborated in rural TCs compared to the urban and settlement TCs. In the rural Strategies, the number of shortcomings is unacceptably large and amounts to a critical mass, which is 49%. The above shows that already at the stage of elaboration of Ukraine-wide Territorial Communities Strategies in terms of CED, many imperfections are allowed that make impossible the completeness and quality of implementation of the components of entrepreneurship development in the local Development Strategies. Based on the results of this study of the quality of the components of entrepreneurship development of the local Strategies, directions for their further improvement have been allocated, which should be a departure from the declarative format of their elaboration, separation of entrepreneurship development in communities into a single strategic goal of the local Strategies with mandatory observance of the principle of SMART-specialization when building relevant operational goals, use of a stakeholder-oriented approach, the obligation to adhere to such features of strategic planning as modernity and creativity, the formation of a single coordinated approach to the elaboration of the component of the local Strategies for entrepreneurship development in territorial communities. Upon completion of the analysis of a sufficient number of existing Strategies of territorial communities, a quantitative assessment of the quality level of the component of entrepreneurship development, as a quantitative parameter, can be used by external experts to study the level of implementation and achievement of the results of the strategic goal of entrepreneurship development, depending on the quality of its elaboration.

Assessing the State and Efficiency of Social Capital of Ukrainian Enterprises (p. 174 - 185)
The negative nature of social capital, formed in the field of entrepreneurship, has a bad effect on the reputational component of the Ukrainian economy. At the same time, the unresolved issue of quantitative assessment of the social capital of enterprise makes it impossible to clearly identify its condition, problem areas and the formation of a management system. The aim of the work is to determine the structure and key indicators of the social capital of enterprise; to carry out an assessment of social capital of enterprises of Ukraine on the basis of the proposed methodology; to obtain practical results for further formation of the system of management of social capital of enterprise. The study was based on the principles of system approach and was carried out on the basis of a questionnaire survey using methods of analysis and synthesis, logical generalization, tabular and graphical methods of presenting information, as well as the method of grouping and systematization. A critical analysis of the literature on the issues under study allowed to allocate some comments on the existing proposals for assessing the social capital of enterprise: most of the indicators are data from a questionnaire survey; combining human capital and social capital indicators; too many indicators, which makes the assessment process quite time-consuming, etc. Taking into account the existing proposals of scientists and critical remarks on them, the authors have formed their own approach to assessing the state and efficiency of the social capital of enterprise, which is based on the following principles: hierarchy, structuring, dynamism, generalization, consistency, balance, integration and complexity. The current approach is more structured and succinctly describes the key system of indicators by assessment levels. The division of the social capital of the enterprise into states (potential or realized) allows to assess the impact of the social capital of the enterprise on the results of activity. The assessment is reduced to a complex indicator, but at the same time allows us to analyze individual components and structural levels of social capital. In the prospect of implementing this approach at the enterprise, we consider it expedient to ask some of the questions to employees, for example, regarding their views on trust in the team, and compare the answers obtained. Own observations show that employees often estimate the same situation differently, which leads to the deformation of social capital at the enterprise. In general, the obtained results are an important information source for the development of a system for managing the social capital of enterprise, which will be the subject of further scientific research by the authors.

With the help of systematization and analysis of scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists, the definition of the concept of «entrepreneurial activity» is considered, depending on the direction of research of each scholar. As a result of the study, three main groups of definition of the concept of «entrepreneurial activity» have been allocated: risky activity aimed at making a profit; special kind of social relations; innovative activity aimed at making a profit. The article describes the main entities of entrepreneurial activity, identifies the key characteristics of each type of entity, determining its role, functions, goals and directions of implementation of activity. The size, forms of ownership, sectoral orientation and other key parameters of entrepreneurial entities are analyzed. The characteristic features and criteria that make a particular type of economic activity directly entrepreneurial are presented.

Development of Small Business in Ukraine: Factors of Influence and Current Trends (p. 158 - 166)
The article examines the main trends in the development of small entrepreneurship in Ukraine. The state of functioning of small enterprises during the period of pandemic and active hostilities on the territory of the State is allocated. On the basis of the carried out analysis, the main trends and regularities of functioning of small business entities have been formed. It is proved that not only the development of small entrepreneurship contributes to increasing the economic component of the development of the State, but it also reduces social tension in society due to the creation of jobs and employment. It is substantiated that the influence of external factors is regulated at the national or regional levels, while the influence of internal factors is regulated by the actions of an individual enterprise. It is determined that territorial communities and local self-government bodies play an important role in the development and support of small entrepreneurship, since it is the local milieu where the needs of small business are much better understood, as well as the influencing factors they encounter in their activities. It is determined that the introduction of new technologies that meet European standards and quality norms for domestic enterprises is a difficult task, primarily due to the lack of financial resources. The directions of improving the development and support of small business during the wartime and in the post-war periods of economic recovery are allocated. An algorithm for regulating the activities of small business entities has been proposed. Measures to stimulate the development of small entrepreneurship in financial, regulatory, and production areas are substantiated. Article is written in Ukrainian

Identification of Intellectual Capital in the Context of Digitalization of the Economy (p. 166 - 173)
The aim of the article is to study the economic nature and essence of intellectual capital as a complex category and asset of enterprise, which is capable of generating economic profit and added value in the context of digitalization of the economy. The works of leading foreign and domestic scholars are analyzed, devoted to the identification of intellectual capital as an economic category, the studies on the structure and nature of intellectual capital in the context of four aspects. The article considers various existing scientific approaches to the identification of intellectual capital and their features and, according to the results, the main criteria that can be used by an enterprise to identify intellectual capital are proposed as follows: presence of an intellectual (creative) component; possibility of generating economic benefits; legal certainty; possibility of evaluating and identifying in accountance. Taking into account these criteria, the correlation of the concepts of «intellectual capital», «intellectual property» and «intangible assets» has been analyzed and an approach to a more correct identification of elements of intellectual capital in the accounting of enterprise has been proposed. In addition, the authors analyzed the possibility of identifying objects created with the help of artificial intelligence systems as the intellectual capital of the enterprise, taking into account the existing regulatory framework and the positions of leading Ukrainian scientists. Based on this, it is concluded that these objects can also be included in the intellectual capital, since they have legal certainty. The authors have proposed a definition of intellectual capital as a complex of information, scientific and technical knowledge, business or production experience, which is a consequence of scientific or creative activity or the use of artificial intelligence, which has the ability to generate an additional economic effect and thus can be assessed and legally identified.

Entrepreneurial Intentions of Students in Ukraine: The Gender Aspects (p. 132 - 139)
In the context of ongoing hostilities in Ukraine, it becomes important to understand the prospects of entrepreneurship as a sphere of economic recovery of the country. Student entrepreneurship can become a key factor in the formation of an entrepreneurial ecosystem, in particular in the context of Ukraine’s integration into the EU. Studying and taking into account the gender aspects of entrepreneurial intentions of Ukrainian students, supporting entrepreneurial education and the development of women’s entrepreneurship among young people in the curricula will contribute to the sustainable development of the economy and society in general. The aim of the article is to highlight the results of a study of the gender profile of entrepreneurial intentions of Ukrainian students, initiated and conducted by the authors within the framework of the project «Entrepreneurial Opportunities, Competencies and Intentions among University Students in the Cross-Cultural Dimension» in April – June 2023. The conclusions presented in the article are based on the results of an online survey of 247 students of Ukrainian universities, conducted on the Qualtrics platform according to the authors’ own methodology, which involves a survey of respondents on 27 questions, divided into four blocks: 1) general data about the respondent; 2) awareness of the entrepreneurial environment; 3) dimensions of entrepreneurial competence; 4) entrepreneurial intentions. The obtained data were analyzed using the instrumentarium of descriptive statistics. It is found that the entrepreneurial intentions of students in Ukraine have gender differences. In particular, in the implementation of their entrepreneurial initiatives, women are mostly focused on the long term and postpone starting a business for the future, while men mostly try to realize themselves as soon as possible, while studying at the university. When analyzing the preferences of students in choosing a sphere for starting their own business, «gender-neutral» and «gender-sensitive» business areas are allocated, which makes it possible to further develop recommendations for improving entrepreneurship education and institutional support for youth (including women’s) entrepreneurship policy in Ukraine. It is assumed that the «post-industrial» type of thinking prevails among students, in particular in the context of choosing promising business areas for their own business, this is manifested through the increased interest of survey participants in the service sector of the economy. The need to intensify women’s entrepreneurship and leadership among female students during their studies at the university, as well as to improve entrepreneurial education programs, in particular in business areas that are important during the wartime and post-wartime periods, is substantiated.

An Organizational Mechanism for Ensuring the Development of Innovative Entrepreneurship on the Principles of Sustainability (p. 139 - 146)
The article forms an organizational mechanism for ensuring the development of innovative entrepreneurship on the principles of sustainability. It is noted that the process of development of innovative entrepreneurship in Ukraine is complex due to the lack of effective tools, methods, means, levers and regulators of innovative development of economic systems. These elements are interrelated and comprise the innovation mechanism of the business entity. The conception of sustainable development is fundamental for studying the nature of development of innovative entrepreneurship (both an individual enterprise and the country’s economy as a whole), since it takes into account different directions of development, on the one hand, and provides for the use of various tools to ensure development, taking into account its components, on the other hand. The basic provisions and prerequisites for the formation of an organizational mechanism for ensuring the development of innovative entrepreneurship on the principles of sustainability are defined. It is noted that the development of innovative entrepreneurship depends on the conception of sustainable development, which takes into account various aspects of the activities of enterprises and their impact on society. In particular, the conception of sustainable development orients the business entity to ensure social responsibility, economical use of resources, respect for resources and their conservation, respect for the environment in which it operates, and increasing the level of environmental safety. It is concluded that the development of innovative entrepreneurship on the principles of sustainability and providing it with all the necessary resources is a determining condition for economic growth and transformation of the economic system of our country. The formed organizational mechanism for ensuring the development of innovative entrepreneurship on the principles of sustainability will allow to achieve equilibrium for participants in the innovation process under the following conditions: improving the quality of scientific potential; improvement of scientific and technical potential; formation of highly qualified productive forces; creation of an appropriate regulatory framework; attraction of investments in innovations; formation of a developed market innovation infrastructure.

Innovative Solutions for the Formation of Personnel Security of Online Entrepreneurship (p. 146 - 153)
The aim of the article is to study the list of innovative solutions for the formation of personnel security of online entrepreneurship. The article analyzes the current state of conditions and features of the formation of personnel security for online entrepreneurship in Ukraine. The relevance of online entrepreneurship for Ukrainian enterprises is substantiated, indicating both the advantages and disadvantages. A definition of online entrepreneurship has been proposed, its types have been considered. Innovative solutions for the formation of personnel security in online entrepreneurship reflect constant changes in the modern business environment and require an integrated approach to ensuring the efficiency and stability of activities. In the contemporary online enterprises, it is necessary to implement leading digital personnel management systems, which will allow you to effectively monitor work processes and ensure control over access to confidential information. Such systems will also help increase the level of cybersecurity and decrease data leakage, reducing risks for the organization. Active implementation of artificial intelligence and data analysis in the practical activities of organizations allows you to predict risks in the field of personnel relations, identify possible threats and take timely measures to prevent them. Machine learning algorithms can detect unusual patterns or activities that may indicate possible security threats, such as unauthorized access or cyberattacks. In addition, conducting specialized online courses and trainings on cybersecurity and the use of remote work for staff are key elements of ensuring personnel security. Increasing the level of staff awareness of these issues helps to avoid unforeseen situations and ensure the stable operation of the enterprise in the online environment. This approach reduces the risk of leakage of confidential information and ensures security for both the company and its customers. Prospects for further research in this direction are to determine the degree of the most innovative solutions for the formation of personnel security of online entrepreneurship, and at the conceptual level there is a need to closer define some concepts and their logical use in practice. Further development of innovative solutions can lead to an increasingly creative approach to the formation of personnel security of online entrepreneurship. Article is written in English

Improving Approaches to Strategic Planning of Domestic Oil and Gas Companies on the Basis of Leading Foreign Practices (p. 198 - 203)
The aim of the article is to improve approaches to strategic planning of activities of domestic oil and gas companies on the basis of studying the leading foreign practices in this area. The article examines approaches to strategic planning based on scenario analysis, which are common in foreign energy companies, on the example of Royal Dutch/Shell Group, which was the first to apply this methodical approach. As a result of the study of the features of strategic planning in oil and gas companies in the world practice, it is found that its basic instrument is scenario analysis, which involves the development of adaptive and flexible strategies based on several alternative scenarios that provide energy companies with sustainable functioning and development in a dynamic and difficult predictable industry. On the basis of the study of foreign experience of strategic planning and modeling of the energy system, the following set of measures to improve the process of strategic planning in the domestic oil and gas sector has been proposed: introduction into the practice of strategic planning of individual elements of scenario analysis according to the methodology of the international energy corporation Royal Dutch/Shell Group; optimization of the regulations of the strategic planning process in domestic oil and gas companies, taking into account the volatility and cyclical nature of the oil and petroleum products market; introduction of key indicators of scenario analysis (demand, supply, price of oil and oil products) and methods of adaptive forecasting into the forecasting practice of domestic oil and gas companies. The implementation of the proposed measures will allow domestic oil and gas companies to improve the strategic planning process, and therefore increase the level of adaptability in conditions of uncertainty and improve their competitive position in both the local and the global energy markets.

The System of Counteracting External Threats to the Economic Security of the Enterprise (p. 95 - 100)
The aim of the article is to study and systematize approaches to the development of a set of measures aimed at countering external threats to the economic security of enterprise. The article analyzes the structure of threats to the economic security of enterprise and proposes a classification of external threats by the level of occurrence, the allocation of which at the organizational level of the subsystem of counteraction to external threats to economic security should be the first step towards improving the system of economic security of enterprise. The necessity of introduction of an information-analytical system at the enterprise, which should ensure prompt and continuous monitoring, as well as analysis of risk factors and their tendencies, is substantiated. Based on the results of the carried out study, it is proposed in the process of developing a set of measures to counteract external threats to the economic security of enterprise to take into account the classification of threats by the levels at which they occur. Thus, it is recommended to build a three-component set of measures to counter external threats, consisting of: a set of measures to counter threats to the competitive (sectoral) environment; a set of measures to counteract threats to the economic security of the enterprise that occur at the level of the national economy; a set of measures to counter global threats and threats occurring at the international level. An efficient system of counteraction to external threats to the economic security of enterprise will serve as the basis for ensuring the financial component of the overall economic security of the enterprise, ensure the development of its material and technical support and strengthening of competitive positions, and as a result, will become the basis for maintaining a high level of financial and economic efficiency regardless of changes in the sectoral, national-economic and global-economic environment.

The Theoretical Foundations of Development of an Entrepreneurial Entity in Conditions of Uncertainty (p. 100 - 106)
The development of entrepreneurship is considered as a component of social development, which is carried out in three directions: evolutionary, involutional, and abrupt acceleration. The necessity of forming a policy of development of entrepreneurship in Ukraine is indicated and its main tasks are allocated, namely: increasing the volume of production and export of products of Ukrainian enterprises, the formation of new enterprises, ensuring the proper level of satisfaction of domestic demand with goods and services; demonopolization of markets for goods and services and establishment of effective competition in the domestic market; increase and diversification of employment; achievement of an effective fiscal return on business development while maintaining favorable conditions for its development. The general goals of entrepreneurship management include the process of forming a strategy for activity and development and adaptation of business processes of enterprise. It is noted that decision-making by entrepreneurs in conditions of uncertainty should be based on the study of its theoretical foundations, where it is considered in several types: when the results of activities are known and it is possible to predict them; when the results are known, but the probability of them cannot be estimated; when the results are not known and it is not possible to estimate the probability of their occurrence. For the purpose of effective management of the business structure, it is expedient to classify uncertainty by the following types: by methods of determining the probability of occurrence of cases and by the object of uncertainty. Among the main tasks of entrepreneurship management, reducing the likelihood of adverse events and avoiding negative consequences and risks, including strategic ones, are allocated, since the development and implementation of strategic management decisions are the basis for ensuring sustainable development of entrepreneurial entities. It is noted that changes in the institutional environment have an impact on the dynamics of uncertainty. In order to improve business conditions, informal and formal institutions must be aligned, which is a transformation of uncertainty. Directions for the development of entrepreneurial structures have been identified, which should coordinate their actions with the State structures to form an institutional environment. Among such areas, the following are highlighted: creation of commodity exchanges and wholesale markets for products of local producers; formation of market infrastructure of scientific and innovative activities; orientation of commercial banks to the real sector; creation of consulting and leasing firms; development of the stock market, including the formation of the corporate securities market; formation of logistics centers.

Innovative Approaches to the Support and Development of Small and Medium-Sized Businesses in the Regions of Ukraine (p. 107 - 114)
The aim of this article is to study innovative approaches to the support and development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the regions of Ukraine. The development of SMEs is a prerequisite for the realization of Ukraine’s economic and innovative potential. An analysis and a generalization of scientific works of many scientists considering the integration of innovative instruments into the activities of small and medium-sized businesses have been carried out. The main aspects of the influence of small and medium-sized enterprises on the development of the country are systematized. Small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine are a instrument for creating new jobs and self-realization of citizens, reducing unemployment, developing innovative business methods, influencing competition, saturating the market for goods, services and labor, and are the basis for the development of the national economy. It is determined that a perspective innovative way to stimulate the development of Ukrainian SMEs is the organization of an ecosystem of their support. Social, resource and cognitive factors motivate SMEs to participate in the ecosystem. By participating in the ecosystem, SMEs benefit from networking, collaboration, communication and information sharing. These include various factors related to social interactions between ecosystem participants that contribute to business growth and development. Other factors include access to resources, formal and informal support, and market access. Finally, cognitive factors are related to the goals and values shared by the participants in the ecosystem. Another important instrument is business incubation. The current status of business incubation in the policy of supporting SMEs should be recognized as the initial stage in the development of a distinctive local economy. In addition, start-ups are becoming increasingly important, especially given the need to implement modern, profitable and innovative projects in the form of innovative SMEs. To stimulate venture capital investments at the national level, it is proposed to intensify efforts to create favorable conditions for generating business ideas and turning them into innovations in demand by the investment community. In the future, it is recommended to consider the issue of attracting innovative technologies in the post-war reconstruction of the economy. Article is written in Ukrainian

Selection of a Strategy for Sustainable Development of an Economic Entity as a Long-Term Direction of its Development (p. 152 - 160)
The aim of the article is to study and systematize approaches to the development of a strategy for sustainable development of an economic entity, taking into account the resource potential of the economic entity and factors of possible external influence. The article analyzes the existing variants of approaches to the formation of the strategy of the economic entity for its long-term competitiveness in the market, draws conclusions about the advantages and disadvantages of each variant. Based on the integration of resource and market approaches to strategic planning, the authors specify the stages of formation of the strategy of sustainable development of the economic entity, specify the concept of «strategic potential of an economic entity», which proposes to include its internal potential and resistance to the influence of external factors. It is proposed to supplement the diagnostic stage of strategic planning with a sub-stage of identifying resistance of the economic entity to external influences, which has not even been allocated by researchers before. It is proved that the identification of the objective position of the economic entity and the decision on the choice of further direction of its development largely depends on the quality of the carried out analysis. This peculiarity is due to the proposed resource-market approach to strategic planning. Further on, a research of the problem of quantitative assessment of the value of the strategic potential of the economic entity has been made. Based on the results of the research, an integral indicator and a general methodical approach to assessing the strategic potential of the economic entity have been formed, taking into account the definition of its internal potential and resistance to the external environment, which is proposed to be included in the development of a strategy for sustainable development of any economic entity to ensure the long-term direction of its development.

Evaluation of Business Project Efficiency: Theory and Practice of Implementation (p. 161 - 167)
The purpose of this study is to monitor various available methods for evaluating the efficiency of economic business projects, to determine their advantages and disadvantages, as well as to develop a number of recommendations for improving these methods. The objectives of the research are: to analyze the existing methods for evaluating the efficiency of economic projects; determination of the advantages and disadvantages of each of the methods; development of recommendations for improving the practice of evaluating the efficiency of economic projects. The article discusses the theoretical and practical aspects of evaluating the efficiency of business projects. The authors emphasize that the evaluation of efficiency of the project is an important stage in its development and implementation, as it allows you to determine the feasibility of its implementation and make optimal decisions on its financing and the functioning of the business as a whole. The practical aspects of evaluating the efficiency of economic projects are analyzed in detail. Efficiency evaluation is an important stage in the project life cycle, which involves a detailed consideration of the financial, economic and social aspects of its implementation. The authors also highlight the methods and tools that are used to conduct the evaluation, describe in detail the financial models that allow calculating efficiency indicators, such as NPV (net present value), IRR (internal rate of return) and some others. In the context of making informed decisions on the implementation of the project, it is emphasized that practical efficiency evaluation is becoming a key tool for management and investors. It provides specific numerical data and analytical information that serves as the basis for deciding whether to proceed with a project. In general, the evaluation of the efficiency of economic projects is an important tool for decision-making on the implementation of projects. Under martial law, this evaluation becomes even more relevant, as it is necessary to ensure the efficient use of limited resources and the compliance of projects with the needs of the population. To improve the practice of evaluating the efficiency of economic projects, it is necessary to develop new evaluation methods that take into account the time value of money, the ability to compare projects with different capital intensity and ease of use in practice. We believe that the implementation of the recommendations presented in the article will improve the quality of evaluating the efficiency of economic projects in Ukraine and will contribute to the effective use of limited resources for the country’s recovery.

Mechanism of the State Policy of Sustainable Development of Entrepreneurship in Ukraine (p. 193 - 201)
The aim of the article is to develop a model of the mechanism of the State policy of sustainable development of entrepreneurship in Ukraine, which can become a key factor in economic growth, improving the standard of living of the population, creating new jobs and strengthening democracy. The mechanism is based on the following principles: inclusiveness (ensuring equal access to opportunities for all entrepreneurial entities, regardless of their size, industry, location and other factors); fairness (creation of transparent and fair business rules that do not discriminate against any group of entrepreneurs); accountability (ensuring that the authorities are clearly accountable to entrepreneurs for their actions and decisions) and resilience (development and implementation of entrepreneurship support policies that take into account long-term economic prospects and social consequences). The mechanism also uses the instruments of the State policy of sustainable development of entrepreneurship: regulation – the activity of the State aimed at establishing rules and norms that entrepreneurs must comply with (licensing, antimonopoly laws, product safety standards, etc.); support – State activities aimed at providing assistance and incentives for the development of entrepreneurship (financial assistance, tax benefits, consulting services, education, training, etc.); provision is a set of measures aimed at creating a favorable environment for doing business (bureaucracy reforms, the fight against corruption, infrastructure development, intellectual property protection, etc.). The instruments for ensuring entrepreneurship are summarized in more detail: protection of property rights (legislative, institutional, informational, and practical support); fight against corruption (introduction of anti-corruption standards, improvement of anti-corruption bodies, protection of whistleblowers and increasing transparency); ensuring the rule of law (independence of the judiciary, access to justice, rule of law over the administrative apparatus, counteracting political interference in the judiciary); protection of competition (introduction of antimonopoly legislation, creation of antimonopoly bodies and application of antimonopolistic sanctions); development of infrastructure (transport, energy, information, etc.); protection of data and the environment (improvement of legislation on data protection and the environment, creation of separate data protection and environmental authorities, raising awareness of data protection, stimulating environmentally friendly and information friendly business). We believe that thanks to the joint efforts of the State, business and the public, Ukraine will be able to successfully implement the mechanism of the State policy of sustainable development of entrepreneurship and build a sustainable and prosperous future for its citizens. Investments in sustainable development of entrepreneurship are investments in the future of Ukraine. Article is written in Ukrainian

The State Support for Entrepreneurs During the Wartime (p. 202 - 207)
The article is devoted to the substantiation of measures for the State support of entrepreneurs during the wartime. The publication proves the relevance of the study of the problems that arise in the process of substantiation and implementation of measures for the State support of entrepreneurs during the wartime. According to the results of the carried out analysis of modern scientific works on the topic of research, it is found that domestic scholars analyze the legislation that regulates entrepreneurial activity, and highlight trends in the development of entrepreneurship, taking into account the experience of developed countries in this area. At the same time, the problems of entrepreneurial entities are not given due attention. Measures for the State support of entrepreneurs are proposed, which provide for full or partial reimbursement by the State of the costs of restoring objects that were damaged during hostilities (it is recommended to divide the objects in need of restoration into groups and determine the priority of restoration for each of them using the adapted method of the sum of years, which is traditionally used to calculate the depreciation of fixed assets). The necessity of reducing the level of tax pressure on entrepreneurs is also substantiated. The main argument in favor of such a step on the part of the State is that the reduction of the level of taxation of entrepreneurs will gradually lead to a decrease in the shadow sector of the economy and an increase in the number of taxpayers. This point of view is substantiated using the conception of elasticity: it is illustrated that a relatively small reduction in tax pressure will lead to a significant increase in tax revenues. In addition, the article proposes to take into account the amount of financing by entrepreneurs of the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and reduce the tax base or the amount of tax payments depending on the amount of such financing. Perspective areas of research on the problems that arise in the process of organizing the State support for entrepreneurs include: formulation of proposals for improving tax legislation to reduce the level of tax pressure on entrepreneurial entities; identification of factors influencing doing business during the wartime and assessment of such impact using mathematical tools; development of a mechanism for motivating entrepreneurs to more intensive volunteering.

Peculiarities of Digital Transformation of Enterprises in the Countries of the European Union (p. 71 - 78)
Digital transformation plays an important role in ensuring the competitiveness of enterprises in today’s environment. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly exacerbated this trend, as many companies are facing the threat of bankruptcy due to their inability to quickly adapt to the digital format of work. The European Union is no exception, which, in order to prevent such crisis situations, has developed an appropriate digital transformation strategy for 2030, one of the directions of which is the digital transformation of enterprises. It is found that most scientific studies cover the general aspects of digitalization of enterprises in the European Union, without taking into account the specifics of individual countries, or contain an analysis of the digitalization of enterprises in the EU countries without a detailed consideration of its components. In view of the above, the aim of the article is to study the digital transformation of enterprises in different countries of the European Union. To achieve this goal, the digital intensity index and its main components were analyzed. The article uses the following methods: deduction, analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison, and tabular method. The results showed that enterprises in Northern and Western Europe are characterized by a fairly high level of digital intensity and values for most of its components. This is especially true for European Union countries such as Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Belgium. The opposite trends have been found in the EU countries in Southern and Eastern Europe, which have a much lower indicator of digital intensity and the importance of its components compared to the above-mentioned ones. These include: Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Hungary and others. In addition, it was found that the majority of enterprises in the European Union have reached at least a basic level of digital intensity, including small and medium-sized ones. However, in order to achieve the goal of digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises in the strategic plan by 2030, it is necessary to reduce the gap between the actual and target indicators by more than 20%. For this purpose, the main directions for increasing the level of the Digital Intensity Index were identified, including: stimulating the integration of e-commerce, especially in the direction of B2C, developing staff skills in the field of ICT, employment of specialists in the field of ICT, the use of industrial or service robots, as well as improving the values of most components of the Digital Intensity Index of enterprises in the EU countries in Southern and Eastern Europe.

Prospects for Financing Women’s Startups under Martial Law (p. 158 - 164)
The scientific work examines the problems of gender equality and women’s access to the initiation and implementation of entrepreneurial activity. Certain normative legal documents that regulate the rights of women in the business environment and public life both at the international level and at the national level have been identified. Gender gaps in the parity of opportunities between men and women are analyzed based on the report of the International Economic Forum «Global Gender Gap 2024». It is found that for Ukraine the gender gap comprises 72.2%, and our country ranks 63rd in the global ranking. The lowest value of the sub-index is found in the criterion of women’s political participation: 0.172, which indicates a low affiliation of women in the political life of the country. The author presents a portrait of Ukrainian women entrepreneurs by different groups and social indicators. It is determined that, on average, this is a woman of 30+ years old who has incomplete higher or higher education and mainly lives in the city. Recently, women entrepreneurs have been experiencing significant problems in doing business, which are related to: the consequences of the economic crisis, significant competition in the market, volatility in legislation, corruption and inspections by government agencies. The article discusses the issue of financing startups as a result of women’s innovative entrepreneurship. The gender-based issues that women have to deal with in the implementation of creative, innovative projects are identified. The sources of financing, which, in the author’s opinion, can best meet the needs of the present for business development, are substantiated. The problems of credit financing are outlined, which include: significant cost of credit resources; inability to obtain a loan at the stage of foundation of the enterprise; stereotypical, biased attitude towards women’s entrepreneurship and the risk of losing business in case of unfavorable economic conditions.

Basic Provisions of the Organizational and Economic Mechanism of Entrepreneurship Development in the Woodworking Industry (p. 532 - 532)
The article updates the issues of formation and implementation of the State policy for the development of entrepreneurial activity in the domestic woodworking industry. It was concluded that for such purposes, the State should build and implement an effective and efficient organizational and economic mechanism, which is endowed with a set of tools and means, as well as algorithms for their implementation, which are aimed at activating and increasing the efficiency of business in this branch of Ukrainian industry. Based on these principles, the aim of the article is to generalize the existing and develop new methodological and applied principles of the State policy of formation and implementation of the organizational and economic mechanism of the development of entrepreneurship in the woodworking industry. It was found that the organizational and economic mechanism of the State policy for the development of entrepreneurship in the woodworking industry conceptually consists of the following elements: a regulatory and legal framework that creates conditions for the transparent and stable activity of business entities; strategic planning of industrial enterprise development; resource provision necessary for the effective implementation of policy goals and objectives; the control and monitoring system, responsible for evaluating the results of policy implementation. It is shown that the purpose of the organizational block of the mechanism is to create and maintain an effective institutional structure that ensures coordination between all levels of management, business entities and other market participants, which includes the development of organizational and legal norms, development programs, as well as mechanisms for monitoring and controlling policy implementation. It is argued that the purpose of the economic block is to provide financial support, stimulate investment activity, optimize the resource potential of enterprises and promote their technological modernization. It is proved that the main focus should be on the provision of tax benefits, public financing, lending, as well as supporting enterprises through public procurement and subsidies. It is identified that the subjects of the mechanism are State authorities, enterprises of the production sector, financial institutions, elements of the market infrastructure. The participation of public organizations and international partners is also an important element of the mechanism, because it contributes to the spread of the best practices of entrepreneurship development and integration into the economic space.
