MANAGEMENT OF ECONOMIC SECURITY OF LOGISTICS ENTERPRISES IN THE FIELD OF INTERNATIONAL FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION

Abstract

The article examines the issues of economic security management of logistics enterprises in the field of international freight transport under conditions of growing global instability and external uncertainty. It is substantiated that modern logistics activities are characterised by an increased level of risk caused by geopolitical transformations, military conflicts, disruptions of international supply chains, economic turbulence, rapid technological development and stricter environmental restrictions. The combined impact of these factors directly affects the economic stability of logistics enterprises and necessitates the improvement of management approaches to economic security. A model of enterprise management in the context of economic security is proposed. The model is based on the interaction of organisational- managerial, economic and technological subsystems and provides for the use of economic security indicators as a key tool for diagnosing, monitoring and preventing risks. It is proved that the integration of an indicator-based approach into the management system enhances the justification of managerial decisions and increases enterprises’ adaptability to changing operating conditions. International freight transport is considered as a complex multi-criteria system classified by type of transport, type of cargo, organisational and legal form, territorial scope and regularity of operations, which allows for a more accurate identification of economic threats. The feasibility of applying an indicator-based approach based on a comprehensive system of financial, logistical, technological and ESG indicators is substantiated. The study identifies groups of external risk factors, relevant assessment indicators and possible managerial decisions aimed at neutralising their negative impact. It is proved that the proposed model contributes to strengthening the economic stability of logistics enterprises, ensuring the continuity of international freight transport and supporting sustainable development in international supply chains.
