Multi-dimensional Assessment of the Level of Enterprise Socio-economic Development
Abstract
The goal of the article is generalisation and development of methodical technique within the taxonomic method and distance and similarity method for convolution on the basis of the system of measured features-symptoms into a single joint characteristic of the latent notion “level of enterprise socio-economic development”. Algorithms of taxonomic analysis and distance and similarity method are systemised, generalised, itemised and presented as technological schemes with consideration of innovations in the format of their practical use. The article develops recommendations on increase of accuracy and justification of joint assessments, which take into account results of the classical and modified algorithms of building multi-dimensional assessments within the framework of each method. The article gives recommendations on a comparative analysis of results of assessment of latent properties on the basis of features-symptoms of their manifestation at simultaneous application of several variations of the considered methods of multi-dimensional analysis, by criteria of co-ordination of variants of assessment and selection of the preferred variant. Using example of a real enterprise, the article justifies a possibility of trustworthy assessment of the level of its socio-economic development on the basis of accounting indicators, which reflect manifestation of internal factors only.
