Formation and development of integration interaction of network structures

In modern conditions the economy is on the path of transition from a raw materials economy to an innovative one, what provides for a real possibility of transition to sustainable development stage. The functioning of economic entities is characterized by the use of energy-saving technologies, nanoelectronics, artificial intelligence systems, and heterogeneous network environment with an open interface. Economic systems are complex entities, including subsystems and elements, and thus the position of a business in the market depends on the degree of their coherence, timely response to changes in the external and internal environment. Therefore, the creation of conditions for the sustainable development of organizations should be the focus of attention for the management. The purpose of the study is to systematize the existing approaches to managing network structures and give theoretical substantiation of their further improvement. The achievement of this goal provides for the solution of the following tasks: to systematize the main trends of integration processes in the economy, to identify the determinants of the formation of network structures; to determine the conditions and limitations, and to highlight the specific features of the management of network structures. To solve the tasks set, the following methods have been used: logical, economic, comparative analyses and economic modeling. The proposed approach to managing network structures is recommended for creating stable economic ties and, as consequently, obtaining high results from the mutually beneficial cooperation of organizations.
