HISTORY OF MANAGEMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS RECONSTRUCTION

Abstract

This article examines the historical evolution of management theory and practice in the context of the development of business infrastructure from elementary forms of economic management of surplus products in ancient civilizations to modern global enterprise management systems built on a systemic digital basis. The main time stages of the formation of philosophical and managerial thought are analyzed: classical, neoclassical, behavioral, systemic and modern, and their relationship with changes in the business infrastructure and the nature of economic relations in social formations of different scales is also shown. Particular attention is paid to the influence of industrialization, serial and mass production, elements of the scientific and technological revolution, digitalization and general globalization on the formation of management concepts, both in the scientific and business context. It is noted that the development of management has always been determined by two main factors: the evolution of economic relations – from purely production and trade to the serviceinformation economy and the intellectual growth of societies through the emergence and systematization of new knowledge, identification of patterns, formulation of the rules of the game in the basic space of the existence of society. It is determined that modern management is not only a tool for the effective functioning of the enterprise organization, but also a mechanism for the regularity of the development of economic systems, but also to identify promising areas for improving management practices in a period of global uncertainty, business adaptation to turbulent market changes, integration into international value chains and the construction of sustainable organizational models. The didactic importance of the historical approach to the study of management for understanding the modern challenges of the Ukrainian economy, in particular the transformation of the market in conditions of war and postwar recovery, is emphasized. It is revealed that understanding the history of management allows not only to assess the regularities of the development of economic systems, but also to identify promising areas for improving management practices in a period of global uncertainty.
