Management as a technology within the adaptive-technological approach

Because the effectiveness of the methods and models of industrial enterprises management used now no longer provides a significant increase, and the methods and models themselves are actually outdated, there is an urgent need for new views and approaches to the management process. Native companies are in this situation even worse than foreign ones because of the policy of applying sanctions from Western countries, as well as due to the low level of technological development and the lack of investment in technological updating, which, in fact, most Russian companies do not carried out. In this article, the management of industrial enterprises is considered as one of the technologies in the framework of the adaptive-technological approach to management developed by the author, which represents the enterprise as a set of technologies (production, information, management, etc.) that obey the objective laws of development. The generalized definition of technology proposed in the article allows us to reduce any activity in the enterprise to this concept, including management. Moreover, management is essentially a process of transforming information about the system and the state of the external environment (information) into a control action (information). Thus, management technologies were assigned to a subclass of information technologies according to the classification proposed by the author, which distinguishes technologies depending on the environment undergoing transformation and the product that is available at the output. This made it possible to argue that the further development of managerial technologies will go along the path of increasingly introducing into the management advanced technologies developed in the IT industry.
