Analytical Support for Analysis of Efficiency of an Enterprise’s Export-Import Activity
Abstract
Efficiency of the foreign economic activity of Ukraine depends on efficiency of export-import activity of enterprises. Therefore, solving problems of managing this activity in an enterprise should have a scientific basis and involve using modern analytical support of management functions. The aim of the article is presenting the results of a study aimed at improving mathematical tools in particular and analytical support in general as well as an analysis of efficiency of industrial enterprises’ export-import activity. The object of the research is the process of developing analytical support for the analysis. The main methods for developing the analytical support are an improved method for calculating the integral indicator of efficiency of an enterprise’s export-import activity and the integral indicator of structural dynamic pattern of its efficiency. The article also substantiates the system of criteria for measuring efficiency of an enterprise’s export-import activity. For assessing the dynamic pattern of structural shifts in efficiency of export-import activity, it is recommended to analyze the time series of the criteria and justify the reference ratio of the orders of the rates of their changes, i.e., the structural dynamic reference. Comparing the two rank ordering – the actual and the reference one, we obtain consistency in the dynamic pattern of development of export-import activity. The integral coefficient is calculated on the basis of the Spearman and Kendall rank correlation coefficients. The logic of the stages of the methodological approach to calculating the structural indicator of efficiency of an enterprise’s export-import activity is given. The practical implementation of the proposals is demonstrated using as an example statistical data of OJSC “Turboatom”. The calculations were carried out in the Excel environment. The advantages of the proposals are the consideration in the process of analyzing this activity of both the level of its efficiency and structural dynamic pattern during the period under study. The implementation of the proposed analytical support will make it possible to develop more effective measures to eliminate the problems of managing efficiency of export-import activity and comprehensively form strategies for developing this activity in enterprises.
