With the complication of the business environment of commercial economic activity, competition intensifies, which threatens the bankruptcy of enterprises, the prevention of which requires quality monitoring and timely identification of crises using methods of comprehensive assessment and analysis of economic security. This research is aimed at conducting component-by-component and, as a result, integrated assessment of the state of economic security of the enterprise. Methodological research tools include analysis of the main components, causation and vector regression modeling. A resource-functional security model is developed (which consists of partial indicators and components of economic security of business) and a resource-functional approach to calculations is also applied. Using the data of the expert survey, the values of indicators of structural components of economic security of the enterprise are determined. Using the resource-functional approach, the integrated values of sub-indices and the integral values of the general level of economic security of the enterprise are calculated. According to the results of the assessment, it is established that the integrated level of economic security of the enterprise is 7.04 (sufficient level of security). However, the components of economic security identified critically low values, namely - the financial component (0.452), the information component (0.554), the institutional and legal component (0.647). The results of the study are of practical value for the development of technological schemes - algorithms for strengthening the financial, informational and institutional and legal security of the enterprise, making sound (using economic and mathematical tools) management decisions to ensure the trajectory of sustainable economic development.

In modern conditions, the role of industrial potential is increasing, which will ensure the modernization of the national economy. The emergence of crisis phenomena of clusterization in the industrial sector of the state is deepening due to the lack of directions in the management of its development. Therefore, the purpose of our article is to study the peculiarities and benefits of using the cluster approach in the management of industrial potential, to identify the main disadvantages of domestic clustering, taking into account foreign experience, and to elaborate of proposals for the development of industrial clusters in Ukraine. The article deals with the economic interpretation of the term "cluster" and highlights the main characteristics and factors of the cluster problem presented in the scientific papers of scientists. The authors ground the main advantages of the cluster approach to the development of industrial potential and identify the main obstacles to the successful application of clustering in Ukraine. The relationship between the benefits and results of the application of the cluster approach for the formation of innovation-industrial policy in the state is established. During the research, the world experience in applying the cluster policy mechanism has been studied, and the directions of state support in the formation of favourable conditions for the development of clusters in industry have been proposed.

The experience of the functioning of national innovation systems in the developed countries indicates that the development of an innovative model of the national economy is impossible without the formation of an active innovation infrastructure. The article deals with the problems of formation and development of the innovation infrastructure of the country in difficult social and economic conditions based on clustering of the economy. The purpose of the research is to analyze the role and impact of clusters on self-organization and self-development of the country’s innovation infrastructure in the conditions of limited financial resources. The research investigates the tendencies of the spread of regional clustering and its influence on the creation of a network of infrastructure companies, which, on a commercial basis, offer and distribute services. Clustering of regions is accompanied by the spread of the impact of a growing number of clusters (innovation structures of the network type) on the national economy and its innovation infrastructure. A certain infrastructural environment develops around the hub and the core of the cluster. It includes a number of companies specializing in innovative services, which can offer their services on a commercial basis not only to companies in this cluster, but also to all nearby innovative enterprises. The spread of clustering in all regions can serve as a basis for further self-organization and self-development of subsidiary companies under the influence of market mechanisms of management and growth of the innovation infrastructure of clusters into a basic platform of the innovation infrastructure of the country. Activation of entrepreneurship in clusters is carried out through the concentration of business activity and inter-sectoral cooperation. Vertical cluster associations are formed based on the synergy of enterprises, institutions, organizations, and individuals that are heterogeneous in the field of activity and form of ownership. The state, creating a favorable innovation environment, regulates the boundary conditions for innovation infrastructure subjects and clusters, which independently self-organize themselves under the influence of market mechanisms and expand their services to all regions, forming a holistic innovation infrastructure of the country.

The scientific article deals with the directions of improvement of the process of development and implementation of state targeted programs for protecting the natural environment in Ukraine. In particular, state targeted programs of environmental protection in Ukraine are the subject of this research. Methodology. A set of scientific research methods is used to realize the goals and tasks defined in the scientific article. Namely, the comparative method was used to compare the foreign experience of developed countries in the field of state programming of environmental protection and its adaptation to the conditions of Ukraine; to compare indicators that determine the level of development and implementation of state target programs of environmental protection in Ukraine; economic and statistical method used to investigate the state and trends of the development of the state programming system in Ukraine, to identify the main problems and obstacles related to its functioning; graphic interpretation method made it possible to visualize the principal scheme of management of domestic state target programs of environmental protection; the method of theoretical analysis, systemic and analytical methods, method of generalization, methods of grouping contributed to the identification of the main directions of improvement of the processes of development and implementation of state targeted programs for the protection of the natural environment in Ukraine. Information and reference base of scientific research consists of laws and other legal regulations of Ukraine on environmental protection issues, international documents, analytical and statistical materials of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, reports on the implementation of State target programs for 2010–2016, scientific works of domestic scientists, periodicals, results of the authors’ personal observations. Practical implementation. The authors have summarized their research results on the possibility of using the schematic model of managing the state targeted environmental protection program in Ukraine for the aspects related to creation and functioning of the Coordination Council, led by the program manager. The above mentioned Coordination Council is an advisory (collegial) body that operates on a voluntary basis. It is also substantiated that for Ukraine worthy of attention is the experience of the European Union countries, which radically changed the system of state management of environmental protection, and revised the balance of competence of different levels of government, through systematic improvement and alignment of the mechanisms of environmental management with international legal, normative-methodical and institutional basis of ecological management and ecological safety. The scientific value of research results. In the form of directions for improving the process of development and implementation of state targeted programs for the protection of the natural environment in Ukraine, a set of key recommendations has been proposed for improving the efficiency of functioning of the system of domestic state programming for natural environment protection.
