Formation of an objectives hierarchy in tasks of organizational systems management

Structuring objectives is a key problem in the management of socio-economic systems. The lack of effective mechanisms capable to harmonize the objectives of all stakeholders involved in the process of forming the objectives hierarchy is a significant drawback of existing approaches. An attempt to combine different directions within the framework of a unified approach to structuring the objectives of the development of socio-economic systems, taking the collective generalization of subjective images of the desired future into account, is performed in the paper. The problem of knowledge extraction and structuring is considered in the framework of the development of the approach to the collective formation of the vision of the system. It is for the first time proposed to conduct identification of the structure of relationships in complex systems on the basis of a developed algorithm that formalizes the steps of the “Socratic dialogue” method. It is proposed to evaluate the achievability of the current goal using the method of fuzzy hierarchical estimation. The novelty of the conducted research consists in combining all stages of formation of the target hierarchy in a single method that allows to formalize the stages of system identification, definition and coordination of objectives and assessment of achievability.
