On the development of planning methodology during turbulence

The purpose of the article is to study the accumulated domestic experience of macroeconomic planning in retrospect, the specifics of its application in the post-Soviet period, to identify advantages and disadvantages, to determine possible vectors of development of the methodology of national planning: its principles, methods, techniques, technologies, logic and options for the implementation of existing scientific and applied developments in the practice of management. The positive aspects are established and the imperfections of the centralized and indicative planning systems used in the Soviet Union and a number of foreign socialist countries are revealed. Conclusions are drawn about the need to preserve the experience of national economic planning accumulated in the Soviet period, in-depth study of its state in the transition to a market economy period, substantiation of probable options (scenarios) of development applied to the current conditions of macroeconomic uncertainty. Based on the study of the evolution of the scientific basis of planning, the problems of drawing up and executing national plans and programs of socio-economic development in modern Russia are analyzed. The accumulated experience of the program-target planning, limitations and prospects of its use are considered in the historical context. The potential opportunities and features of the use of the available strategic planning tools are presented. The necessity of creating a coherent national planning system focused on the implementation of the tasks of ensuring sustainable economic growth is substantiated. Recommendations are formulated aimed at activating the activities of economic agents on the use of principles and methods of planning adapted to market conditions of management and their application in the conditions of transformation of economic relations during the transition to Industry 4.0. Possible directions for further research may be the search for ways to link the strategic plans being developed with the provision of public investments, the systematization of various instruments of economic and financial regulation and the identification of opportunities for their development in accordance with the peculiarities of the organization of the emerging ecosystems of the digitalization period.
