Management of socio-economic systems in the conditions of growing uncertainty and new social challenges

The article considers the methodological aspects of managing socio-economic systems during periods of large-scale changes and transformations caused by new technological, economic and social challenges. The relevance of the study is conditioned by the lack of a generally accepted scientific-based methodology for state management of socio-economic systems functioning in regimes with exacerbation, which have been provoked by new challenges and threats, the growth of instability and unpredictability of the external environment. The article reveals the features of functioning systems in a regime with exacerbation and the course of control actions on such systems at the moments of exacerbation. We have discussed the mechanisms of managing various socio-economic systems in the periods of exacerbation, including measures aimed at maintaining the stability of the economy and reducing social entropy.
