Aspects of the Performance Theory: Narratives, Coherent Effects

Abstract

The article is aimed at suggesting and allocating the results of the authors’ researches on the current theory of the conceptions of narratives, cognitive projects and coherent effects as components of the SEE-management mechanism (as systems at the micro-level), in order to outline the prospects for their further development. Based on generalization of research results of the scientific works of both foreign and domestic scholars, conceptions of the aforementioned narratives are examined and supplemented by the authors’ own approaches. In particular, the trialektic paradigm construct of «narrative ? algorithm, cognitive project ? pattern» is supplemented with a constituent of the «evaluation results according to the indicators of coherence effects». This should provide a definite completeness and comprehensiveness of the mechanism of management of activities of enterprises. It is argued that the results of the study on narratives allows obtaining the necessary qualitative data on the content of the rules, norms of institutes, etc., which are impossible to obtain, analyzing solely statistical and other quantitative historical facts. It is confirmed that the narrative analysis is one of the useful methods of research, which allows to obtain realistic information about the functioning of the system. It is justified that the narrative analysis is one of the useful methods of research, which allows to obtain realistic information about the functioning of a system. It is emphasized that such information is knowledge, explaining repetitive economic actions, etc., which should become a compulsory component of the mechanism of management of modern enterprises. As a result of the study, it is grounded that an effective SEE management can facilitate the achieving of coherent effects between the mutually adjusted consequences of activities of a particular enterprise. The basic components of such management are highlighted. The prospects for further research are highlighting the applied aspects of implementing the results of the approaches proposed by the authors.
