ON METHODOLOGY OF FARM INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLANNING
The paper analyzes the evolution of planning systems over a century period and makes a forecast for the development of strategic planning for the next decade. The authors prove that the transition of the economy to the strategic planning makes management the most important function of strategic planning. The authors give an evaluation of the existing algorithms for economic strategic planning, and analyze the conventional existing algorithms. The paper shows the prospects of strategic development based on strategic and tactical planning integrated in a single algorithm with regard to different legal forms. Such justification can be made in three main directions: remaining the number of industries but changing their quality; changing the number of industries and production elements without changing their quality; changing the number and quality of industries and elements of production. Basing on the documents of forecasting and planning in Russia, as well as on the theory of economic systems and system analysis, and the experience in the development of strategic projects for agricultural enterprises of the Moscow region and other regions of Russia and summarizing the world experience of this methodology, the authors have developed, tested and proposed an algorithm of making the farm industry development strategy. The algorithm includes a study of the farming mission and goals; the use of computational and structural, as well as economic and mathematical methods; databases and a pre-project analysis and strategic assessment of internal and external environment, strengths and weaknesses; forecast parameters of the system development; scenic setting of design elements and system components; qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the system components; the selected development strategy; calculation and construction of basic development scenarios; economic assessment of the selected scenarios of sustainable development.
