Summary: | Economic development of an enterprise implies a sensible balance between high efficiency and stability of business, which after all are responsible for its survival. The research given considers essential issues of determining dominant methodological approaches to evaluating an enterprise’s ecologo-economical security. The problem of selecting the method for evaluation is given the most attention. The author considered different aspects of the existing methods for diagnosing economic and ecological stability. When investigating the problem, currently relevant methods of security evaluation were classified and the conclusions about their advantages and disadvantages were drawn. It was found that when solving security problems, managers face serious problems because there is a limited set of evaluation methods. The author of the research also detected the interconnection between a definite security evaluation method and resource conditions, high-performance factors typology. To match these, it was suggested using a universal multilevel criterial scale in combination with time diapasons. It was also detected that during the process of selecting an evaluation method, it is necessary to enlarge the range of specific criteria through corporate components. It was suggested that criteria transformation should be objectively allowed and iteration, i.e. multiple repetition of the system’s self-diagnostics, should be built into the model of management. In the course of the research it was found that it is rather difficult to select the most adequate evaluation method in a particular situation because there is no logical, universal and easy-to-use selective method. The research results allowed the author to derive an algorithm of security evaluation method selection. To make the procedure suggested applicable, the most important criteria were identified; these are by the scales of influence and resource restrictions. Based on the analysis made, characteristics and parameters were classified according to the corresponding scales. To test and endorse the methodology proposed, criterial selection of the method was performed, that for enterprises of printing and publishing complex of the Crimea; its applicability was confirmed.
