Conceptualizing the State Security Policy Within the Paradigm of Sustainable National Economic Development

Abstract

The article reveals theoretical, methodological, and applied aspects of managing the economic security of business entities amid the unprecedented challenges posed by martial law and global transformational processes. It is substantiated that in modern realities, the economic security is evolving from a supporting management function into a fundamental pillar of business viability. Particular attention is paid to critical infrastructure objects, for which ensuring physical integrity, economic independence, and protecting the interests of stakeholders attains the status of a national priority. It is shown that the strategic approaches to security is dependent on the scale of the enterprise. It is proved that while small and medium-sized businesses often limit themselves to situational measures, large economic entities face an urgent need to form a systematic scientific and theoretical foundation. The authors emphasize that military actions on the territory of Ukraine have become a critical factor nullifying the effectiveness of previous “peacetime” strategies, requiring an immediate update of security oriented management parameters. The necessity of developing new resource management mechanisms that account for the dynamism of external threats and the volatility of the market environment is highlighted. Approaches to revising strategic planning horizons and implementing anti-crisis monitoring tools are proposed. It is concluded that the effectiveness of economic security management in wartime directly depends on the management’s ability to combine accumulated practical experience with the latest scientific developments in risk management. The research results can be used by state authorities and management of large enterprises to strengthen macroeconomic stability and protect long-term national economic interests.
