THE INFLUENCE OF THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT ON THE BUSINESS PROCESS OF HIGH-TECH MANUFACTURING COMPANIES

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the impact of external environment uncertainty on individual links of the business process of knowledge-intensive industrial enterprises in modern Russia. The foreign economic activities of such enterprises face external market constraints and they have to change their business processes to minimize losses and maintain competitiveness. The problem is to identify the most sensitive to the imposed restrictions and the associated uncertainty of the links of the business process. The article analyzes the context of the market situation and reveals that in relation to Russia, a number of countries actively introduced export and import restrictions on high-tech products. The statistics of trade turnover of high-tech products according to the list of the Commodity Nomenclature of Foreign Economic Activities with major Western partners was collected, the analysis of which illustrated the stagnation of foreign trade in high-tech products during the 2018-2021 period. Partly because of this, Russian economy is reorienting high-tech exports and imports to Asian countries, as well as carrying out measures to ensure import substitution of high-tech products. The article outlines the studied area of management of knowledge-intensive industrial enterprises to model a typical business process – decision-making in production, innovation and personnel policy. The model of business process consisting of production and organizational cycle is built, management flows and interrelations are mapped. The links of the business process sensitive to uncertainty are highlighted: drawing up a contract, procurement, R&D and maintenance. Risks which cause sensitivity of these links of business process are described. It is concluded that in the management of business process of knowledge-intensive industrial enterprises the process link must be replaceable and sustainable, which will allow to avoid serious risks.
