Abstract
The leading role of the competitive ability of large industrial complexes in the formation of the results of work of a national economy and ensuring the economic security of Russia is shown. Modern approaches to assessing the competitive ability of enterprises and production complexes are analyzed; their main advantages and disadvantages are shown. Methodological tools for assessing the comparative competitiveness of a production complex in comparison with the leading competitors are proposed. The toolkit is based on the determination of the position of the production complex in the current competitive environment and ae strategy for its further development; the composition of indicators for evaluation in relation to large metallurgical complexes is formed. As a practical application case, a comparative analysis of the competitiveness of domestic production complexes of non-ferrous metallurgy and leading foreign rivals is carried out. At the same time, the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company (UMMC) was considered as the central subject of research. On the basis of the obtained results, directions and ways of increasing the competitiveness of the UMMC group are proposed. A forecast assessment of the UMMC's competitive ability indicators was carried out, which allows one to assess the effectiveness of the proposed directions and paths. Whether the forecast values of the competitiveness indicators are reached depends on project programs of industrial development of UMMC enterprises in combination with the use of economic and statistical modeling. In general, the results obtained allow us to conclude that the proposed approach has a universal nature and offers a wide range of applications in tasks associated with increasing the competitiveness of domestic production complexes and strengthening the economic security of the country.
