Economic potential of agroindustrial enterprises and their impact on the environment

Abstract

The authors propose an approach to quantifying the potential and intellectual capital of agro-industrial companies. When evaluating the activities of these companies, it is necessary to take into account their impact on the environment. The use of such an universal indicator of the effectiveness of activities as a change in the company’s potential will allow taking into account the environmental consequences for the region and territory of the company’s economic performance. The paper identifies problems of assessing the potential and intellectual capital of companies. It is proposed to get an assessment of the economic potential of an agro- industrial complex company based on an analytical determination of the probable market price of this company. To do this, the authors suggest using a modified revenue approach to business valuation. Quantitative assessment of economic potential will allow evaluating the company’s intellectual capital as a whole, as well as the components of intellectual capital (human capital, structural capital, and client capital). The proposed approach suggests that when evaluating the company’s potential, the sum of the net present values of the most preferred projects and the potential residual value of this entity at the end of the project planning period should be taken into account.
