Abstract
The article is aimed at exploring the theoretical conceptions of sustainable development for further formation of the ways of improving the processes of management of the company’s operation in the economic space. The article, through the «disciplinary matrix» structure, provides an understanding of the paradigm of sustainable development. The author defines the formal apparatus focused on the basic aspects of sustainable development; metaphysical components, which are the contradictions of the development of modern civilization; values (in this context – responsible business). On the basis of system approach, a historical-content model of the company’s development on the theoretical principles of sustainable development is proposed. The model categories reflect the natural process of expanding and deepening elements of the sustainable development paradigm. The author characterizes the elements of the proposed model, covering: the content of the contradiction of the development of modern civilization; transformation of the environment’s resources into social benefits; human development; stages, aspects, factors, principles, imperatives of the conception of sustainable development; features of engaging a businesses in the sustainable development processes; implementation directions, stages of implementation of the conception of sustainable development in the company’s activities; influence factors, potential and results of implementing the company’s sustainable development potential, and their combination with the historical-temporal characteristics. This model allows to highlight the strategic global paradigm of the sustainable development of company and formulate its theoretical-methodological features.
