Effectiveness of the Functioning and Development of Systems: The Updated Approaches to Definitions of SEE-Governance

Abstract

The article covers the issue of SEE-governance as a means of improving the effectiveness of the processes of functioning of complex systems in the context of «quantity/ quality» definitions. SEE-governance is carried out on the basis of measurement and evaluation of the components of the above-mentioned effectiveness, indicating possible regulatory actions to change the effectiveness of the functioning and development of systems. It is underlined that a special interest among scholars is caused not only by the problems of system development, but also by the states that determine the order of functioning of systems, known as attractors. The article is aimed at disclosing the role and significance of attractors as a basis for the formation of synergistic potential of SEE-governance for the further development of systems, as well as supplementing on this basis the methodology of the mentioned governance on the basis of the authors’ components of effectiveness by understanding of increments and decrements in the context of the «quantity/ quality» paradigm in the «growth/development» narrative – to clarify the algorithms of actions in the process of system management that seeks to develop dynamically. It is noted that the complex of the authors’ indicators of the components of effectiveness of the functioning and development of system in practice allows to form approaches to the assessment of the system states in terms of the above-mentioned effectiveness. This makes it possible to understand what adjustments and at what time of the system functioning should be made so that it operates and develops effectively. It is concluded that resultative, effective processes can serve as attractors capable of directing the development of the system in the right direction when a system is at the point of bifurcation.
