The article reveals the concept of entrepreneurship as an independent activity carried out by economic entities with the aim of obtaining profit and achieving social results. Successful development of entrepreneurial activity depends on its effectiveness and efficiency. The essence and meaning of the concepts of development, effectiveness and efficiency are characterized. The main indicators of the activity of large, medium and small agricultural, forestry and fishery enterprises are analyzed: the dynamics of the number of operating enterprises by their size, the dynamics of employment, of the amount of wages, of economic, investment and financial activities of enterprises. During the period under study, there is an increase in the number of large and small agricultural, forestry and fishery enterprises, whereas the number of medium-sized enterprises decreases. All enterprises, in terms of size, are profitable. However, the level of profitability of all enterprises is decreasing. The indices of development, effectiveness and efficiency of large, medium and small agricultural, forestry and fishery enterprises are calculated in accordance with the selected indicators. The findings show that enterprises, regardless of their size, should pay considerable attention to increasing the level of profitability of sales and equity capital. An integral assessment of large, medium and small agricultural, forestry and fishery enterprises is carried out in terms of their competitiveness and prospects for future development. The article suggests that all enterprises in terms of size have significant internal potential for development. Yet, according to the indicator of the integrated index of efficiency, medium and small enterprises are inferior to large enterprises. The study offers proposals for increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of all enterprises by size.

The article's purpose is to consider the theoretical foundations of the formation and development of the stock market of Ukraine in modern conditions. The report provides a comprehensive study and analysis of the building and development of the stock market of Ukraine. The stock market allows for attracting capital and effectively distributing it for the development of the national economy. The development of the stock market increases the level of participation of companies in attracting additional funds for their investment programs by placing their securities on the market, and a developed stock market plays a crucial role in financing the economy compared to the banking sector. Therefore, on the stock market, enterprises with real potential can attract financial resources to implement a promising project. It was determined that the primary goal of the functioning and development of the stock market in Ukraine should be attracting financial resources to direct them into the real economy to renew production. The functioning of the market is based on specific relations between the participants of the market space, which are simultaneously part of the market and its driving force. It is shown that the stock market is the most important mechanism that ensures the effective functioning of the country's entire economy. Thus, the stock market creates conditions for a free, albeit regulated, transfer of capital to the most efficient sectors of the economy. The current state, problems, and prospects of Ukraine's stock market development are studied. The stock market of Ukraine, in terms of the scale of its development and the ratio to the total volume of financial assets, is not significant. According to the analysis results, it was established that the volume of exchange contracts with securities on trade organizers in 2018-2021 had positive dynamics. Still, according to the results of trading during January-December 2022, compared to the data of the same period in 2021, the volume of trading in financial instruments decreased by 291.36 billion hryvnias. The decrease in the book of trades in financial instruments in 2022 was influenced by the start of military operations. It has been established that the modern stock market is an effective mechanism for trading financial assets. Therefore, it needs to ensure financial and economic stability, contributing to attracting investment flows.

The article reveals the essence and meaning of digitization. It was established that the list of the most promising digital technologies according to the results of the World Economic Forum in Davos includes: artificial intelligence, mobile, biometric and cloud technologies, virtualization, blockchain, augmented reality, additive technologies (3D printing). The Concept of Development of the Digital Economy and Society of Ukraine for 2018-2020 noted the need for digitalization of agricultural enterprises, which depends on the competitiveness of agricultural producers. Digitization enables agricultural enterprises to share information, establish cooperation and peer review, compare their production with others, and develop informal information systems that can complement more formal information systems. The most long-awaited event in the field of electronic communications in Ukraine is the adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On Electronic Communications", which should ensure the dynamic development of the electronic communications market according to European standards and at the same time improve the quality of services in this area. It is figured out that at the current stage of development of Ukraine, a powerful digital strategy for managing agricultural enterprises is gradually being formed, based on the use of computer technologies, geo-information systems, management of business processes of production, SMART equipment, logistics, marketing, which will allow differentiated and clear consideration of technical, technological and management decisions. It was considered how digitization affects the efficiency of agricultural producers, and the system of information and communication technologies was developed, which contributes to ensuring the process of digitization of agricultural enterprises. The step-by-step algorithm for the introduction of digitalization processes into the activities of agricultural enterprises and the mechanism of digitalization of agricultural enterprises are proposed. Keywords: digitization, efficiency, agricultural enterprise, digital technologies, electronic communications, profit, competitive advantage.

In the article, the essence and meaning of the conflict is revealed. It was established that conflict occupies a special place in the activities of enterprises, and the leader plays an important role in resolving conflict situations. The leader's influence on the resolution of these situations depends on how effectively he knows how to manage the conflict. The mechanism of the occurrence of causes of any type and level of conflict is presented, based on which it is advisable for the leader to develop and implement effective methods of conflict management. The more effectively the leader will manage the conflict, the more stable the enterprise's activity will be. It was singled out that the leader has a fundamental advantage in resolving conflict situations, namely: the right to determine goals, methods of their achievement, ensure their implementation and analyse the results. Six stages of resolving conflict situations are characterized, depending on their intensity and duration: pre-conflict period, incident, escalation, explosion, decline, post-conflict stage. It has been established that an important aspect of a leader's activity is the timely formation of a conflict management algorithm. The conflict management algorithm has been developed, which involves diagnosing the socio-psychological climate in the team, the causes of conflict, as well as existing conflicts and ways to resolve them. It has been studied that the process of conflict management is a subsystem of enterprise management and is implemented by planning, motivating, controlling, and regulating conflicts to reduce the number of negative consequences of conflicts. The conflict management mechanism has been developed in the enterprise. Various methods of conflict management that leaders use in their activities are described. The important component in conflict management is the leader's timely and reliable identification of problems arising in conflict situations. The main ways of conflict management through problem solving are proposed. To prevent the emergence of conflict situations in the personnel of the enterprise, it is advisable to develop timely and implement ways to prevent the occurrence of conflicts in enterprises. The main ways of preventing the occurrence of conflicts, which should be used by the leader in his activities, are given. Keywords: leader, conflict, conflict management, enterprise, conflict situation, compromise, mutual understanding

The article reveals the essence and meaning of logistics. The main tasks of logistics activities in enterprises are considered. It is established that the logistic activity of agricultural enterprises is a connecting function between all its divisions, which unites such functional areas as supply, production, and sales into a single system. Logistics tasks are crucial for any agricultural enterprise that seeks to optimize and maintain highly available logistics systems. When handled correctly, they increase efficiency, cost savings, and customer satisfaction. Each of the types of logistics activity in the enterprise is characterized by separate logistics processes for the effective management of which appropriate methods and tools are used. It is established that during 2017–2021, a decrease in the number of agricultural enterprises of all organizational and legal forms in Ukraine was observed. During 2019-2021, there was an increase in the production of the following main types of agricultural products by business entities in crop production in Ukraine: grain and leguminous crops, sunflowers, potatoes, and grapes; in animal husbandry: the live weight of farm animals sold for slaughter and the amount of production (gross yield) of milk. In 2022, Ukraine received a central part of its income from exporting agricultural products due to its sales to EU countries. It was outlined that logistics and supply chain costs are the main components of the cost structure of an agricultural enterprise. Ways to save resource costs in the logistics system of enterprises are proposed. It has been established that cost management in the logistics system is vital for maintaining the effective functioning of an agricultural enterprise. It is necessary to conduct data analysis and build forecasts to determine what costs the enterprise bears for logistics activities; find ways to save enterprise costs on supply chains. As a result, optimizing logistics costs will contribute to the further development and increase of the financial potential of the agricultural enterprise as a whole.
