Abstract
Eliminating or reducing the negative
impact of crisis phenomena on the economic condition
of an enterprise and ensuring its further effective
development is closely related to the concept of
organizational changes. On the one hand, urgent crisis
management tools almost always cause such changes.
On the other hand, crisis phenomena in the activities of
a business entity lead to the need to introduce
organizational changes. In this context, it is noted that
it is important to diagnose such changes even before
their practical implementation begins. This problem is
especially relevant when it is necessary to introduce socalled large-scale changes in the context of crisis
management. Any mistakes at the beginning most likely
will lead to failure to achieve the set goals and to
problems in the practical implementation of these
changes. Consequently, based on the results of the
conducted research, organizational changes in the
activities of enterprises in the conditions of crisis
management at the beginning are proposed to be
diagnosed taking into account four areas that correspond
to the PAEI-model of Adizes, well known in the theory
and practice. At the same time, it provides for determining
the market orientation of organizational changes (proactive
nature of organizational changes); the social orientation
of organizational changes (integrative nature of
organizational changes); the impact of organizational
changes on the enterprise administration system
(complementary nature of organizational changes);
the impact of organizational changes on the operating
environment of the enterprise (functional nature of
organizational changes).
The article offers a method for diagnosing
organizational changes in the activities of enterprises
in the conditions of crisis management, based on the
method of hierarchy analysis (Analytic Hierarchy Process –
AHP) and provides for the implementation of such key
stages: the formation of an expert group; determining
the level of a hierarchical model for diagnosing
organizational changes in the conditions of anti-crisis
management; studying the essence and characteristics of
the proposed organizational changes, so that then
diagnose them taking into account the directions of
proactive, integrative, functional and complementary
nature, using matrices of pairwise comparisons; determining
eigenvectors, as well as establishing their normalized
values, applying the known geometric mean of the
matrix lines; determining the consistency of expert
opinions; forming conclusions and recommendations.
The possibility of practical use of the proposed method
of diagnosing organizational changes in the activities of
enterprises in the context of crisis management is
confirmed by relevant calculations on the example of
several business entities in the Lviv region.
