The article presents the concept of system upgrading of enterprises as a compromise between administrative and organizational modernization and organic evolution of the enterprise. In the article the concept of enterprise is clarified and developed. The empirical evidence about the state of Russian industrial enterpriseis examined; the key components and activities of the strategy of the domestic enterprises system upgrading are identified. It is shown that the definition and the nature of the enterprise depends on the adopted approach to structuring socio-economic space of the country at the macro level. The expedience of consideration the enterprise in the context of the four-tier structure of society “state - society - economy - business”, distinguishing business as a functionally separate sphere of activity, is substantiated. This approach allows us to more adequately describe the operating environment of the company and to analyze the relationship of internal and external factors of modernization. The remote survey data analysis of industrial enterprises, based on “Russian economic barometer” magazine sample collection, contained in the work, leads to the conclusion on an unfavourable state of more than a half of Russian enterprises. This allows to identify external and internal environment factors, preventing the activation of enterprises innovation activity. The violation of an internal integrity of enterprises, an unbalanced influence of the major groups of production participants on decision making, poor responsiveness to the interests of economic subjects when determining economic policy, are the leading factors. The combination of conceptual advancements with empirical data study and methodological achievements of the new theory of economic systems gives the opportunity to substantiate the main directions of the strategy of modernization of Russian enterprises as a necessary condition for the country’s socio-economic development. A set of strategic measures is put forward, affecting both the internal organization of enterprises and their relationship with governmental, market, business and social structures, which are aimed at creating a system of sustainable innovative development of the enterprises of all sectors of the economy, forms of ownership and organizational-legal forms, sizes and locations. Mechanisms of multi-level and multilateral strategic planning should become bearers of the proposed design to complement market mechanisms and administrative coordination of socio-economic entities at all levels of the economy.
