FUNCTIONING OF RUSSIAN DEFENCE INDUSTRY ENTERPRISES IN CONDITIONS OF REPRODUCTIVE CYCLICITY
Background. The importance of the research problems concerning the industrial enterprises functioning in terms of reproductive cyclicity is caused by the objective nature of cycles, the undercount of which by economic actors can lead to negative consequences. Therefore, forecasting the cycles and development of methods to adapt to different stages thereof allow industrial companies to mitigate the impact of the crisis. Materials and methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was the fundamental economic theory, systems theory, business economics and management; works by domestic and foreign scholars on cyclical economic development of the enterprises. The study is based on the methodology of scientific knowledge, the economic analysis and the systematic approach. In order to formulate and solve specific problems the authors used widely known and repeatedly proven methods of analysis (comparison, content, regression), detailing, groups, expert estimates. Results. The researchers studied the theory of cyclicity, analyzed the Russian defense industry enterprises, revealed fragmentation of these theories and examined the causes and conditions of its overcoming. Conclusions. The analysis of financial and economic activity of the Russian defence industry enterprises has allowed to establish that the defense industry is subject to cycles. The defense industry’s output volume growth is caused by an increased military and political tension in the world.
