The article applies a synergistic approach to the characteristics of the agricultural enterprise’s renovation process. The agricultural sector is considered as an open economic system with a high level of entropy, and renovation is interpreted as counteracting the manifestations of entropy. The article focuses on the condition that the object of renovation is the capital of the enterprise as a system, whose structure contains real capital in the form of tangible and intangible assets, financial capital and human capital, as well as environmental and social subsystems. According to this, the author concluded that renovation must not only update the production capacity of an agricultural enterprise but also improve organizational, social and managerial relations in the process of using capital. The goal of the renovation is to change the internal state of the economic system of an agrarian enterprise to strengthen its self-organization. The calculation of the bankruptcy probability index of a particular agricultural enterprise was carried out for the period 2018–2021 to identify manifestations of entropy. Altman's methodology presented in the Z′-Score Private Firm Model was used. The results of the calculations showed the downward dynamics of the Zʹ-index and the deterioration of indicators of the efficiency of the enterprise’s main means using. This is assessed as confirmation of unfavourable internal fluctuations in the development of the technical subsystem of the enterprise. It was concluded that it is necessary to enhance the role of renovation to strengthen the financial security of the enterprise. In the article, the enterprise should change approaches to renovation, based on the principles of synergistic management as a recommendation. The tasks of synergistic management are given, including 1) the formation of synergistic effects from the interaction of individual subsystems of the enterprise (production, marketing, logistics, social and labour, investment, etc.); 2) the improvement of the organization, communication, forms and methods of management; 3) the application of a synergistic approach to strategic planning. The directions of implementation of synergistic renovation management for the selected enterprise are concretized. They are focused on the creation and use of synergistic effects to protect the environment, increase employment, and develop rural areas in the process of developing a renovation plan at the enterprise. The author's interpretation of the category "renovation of the agricultural enterprise" based on synergetic is proposed.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the dynamics of technology use in the Ukrainian economy during 2013-2020 in order to identify fluctuations that determine the vector of development of the country's technological sphere in the context of its ability to self-organize. As a term of synergetic theory, fluctuations are defined as the deviation of parameters from the general trend. Special aggregates according to Commission Regulation (EC) No 251/2009 of 11.03.2009 by the level of technology use were the object of this study. The technological imbalance index of the national economy and Theil indices separately for manufacturing and services were calculated. Both indicators were based on the amount of added value per employee. The analysis of the dynamics of these indicators showed a high level of imbalance of the technological sphere in terms of employment efficiency. The analysis of the dynamics of these indicators showed a high level of imbalance in the technological sphere in terms of employment efficiency. Quantitative fluctuations with signs of cyclicity over a period of about three years were detected. Structural fluctuation is associated with the leadership of the service sector in the use of labor resources compared to the production sector. The detected fluctuations are characterized as a manifestation of the nonlinearity of the development of a complex open techno-system of the country. The conclusion is made about the role of digitalization of the economy as an attractor that determines the main goal of the system development for the long term. This attractor is able to "push" the transformation processes in the direction of increasing the cumulative effects of the interaction of system elements and strengthening its ability to self-organize. The system of economic policy measures, taking into account the target orientation of economic development towards digitalization was proposed. The author emphasizes the fact that digitalization provides many opportunities for both increasing employment level and improving the educational and qualification level of employees and developing a culture of communication between citizens, business and the state. The synergistic effects of digitalization in the field of employment are also manifested in the unification of IT competencies, unidirectionality of personal, collective, state, and public interests, and increased interaction between business entities.

The aim of the study is to study the functional features of peasant farms in Ukraine and the use of their resource potential, taking into account their regional characteristics and main trends in the Ukrainian economy. The article introduces the process of exploiting the resource potential of small-scale agricultural entities in Ukraine in terms of sustainable development. The materials of this article are im-portant because of the economy of Ukraine, including the agricultural sector, should be developed by European-style innovations to accelerate the process of Ukraine's admission to the European Union. The theory of family-and-labor economy was used as a methodological basis of the research. To assess the influ-ence of the basic components of the resource potential of farms on their operation efficiency, a standard Cobb-Douglas production function is applied. The research analyses trends of agricultural sustainable development in the EU (European Un-ion) countries and Ukraine along with the factors determining the specific func-tioning of each sector. To study the regional functional features of farms, it was built a resultative image of the production function for the gross output of agricul-tural production in the clusters. The absolute dependence of the rating of the re-source potential of farms on its production component is identified; the activity of peasant households is based on an intensification principle, on which well-being depends. An attempt to predict the economic activity of small-scale agricultural entities in Ukraine was made both for individual and cooperative entities. The re-search shows that in the case of active development of agricultural cooperatives, the influence of peasant farms on the national food market, and well-being will be growing as well as the share of entities engaged in commodity production.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficiency of business entities in Ukraine, which are grouped into categories proposed by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 251/2009 of 11 March 2009. Types of economic activity are divided into five technological sectors. The authors analyzed the dynamics of the number of business entities based on their differentiation by the level of technologies used. It was concluded that there is a more active increase in the number of business entities in the non-manufacturing sphere in comparison with the manufacturing sphere, using high technologies. The authors focus on increasing the share of natural entities-entrepreneurs in the total number of business entities. This is treated as a confirmation of the improvement of the entrepreneurial environment quality for the development of small business in the technical sphere of Ukraine. This study performed two tasks: analysis of the effectiveness of labor resource use by business entities and analysis of the production efficiency of added value for these groups. Calculations carried out by the authors showed that the service sector is ahead of the sphere of material production in terms of added value efficiency in a predominantly larger number of special aggregates in terms of technology use. However, the High R&D intensity industries sector showed less efficiency of added value compared to 2013. The efficiency of labor resource use was analyzed according to such parameters as labor productivity and added value per employed person. The sphere of material production has shown the highest level of labor productivity in such Special aggregates by Regulation (EC) as Low R&D intensity industries sector (LOT). The service sector had the highest labor productivity in such a segment as the use of computer equipment. The increase in added value per employed person was the highest in the Medium-low R&D intensity industries. It was concluded that there are no sustainable advantages of the High R&D intensity industries sector in Ukraine, and therefore the need for comprehensive systemic support for this sector from both the state and private investors was emphasized.
