Management of Strategic Changes in Enterprises under Conditions of European Integration

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the process of managing strategic changes in enterprises in the context of European integration, with a particular emphasis on potential challenges and adaptation strategies to European standards. Under the current conditions of European integration, enterprises are required to adjust to new regulations set by the EU, which requires rapid and effective transformations in management strategies and organizational processes.

The research methodology involves a theoretical analysis of the key models of change management, such as the models of John Kotter and Kurt Lewin, as well as practical cases of change implementation in Ukrainian enterprises that are integrating into the EU economic space. The analysis of these cases made it possible to identify the main success factors in the process of implementing change, among which effective leadership, corporate culture, innovation capacity, and continuous monitoring and evaluation of results play a crucial role. The results of the study show that enterprises that actively use change management strategies and integrate European standards are able to adapt successfully to new conditions, in particular through the modernization of production facilities, the introduction of new technologies, the improvement of staff qualifications, and the implementation of new business models. The study of practical examples also confirms the importance of developing tailored strategies for different stages of the European integration process.

The practical significance of the research results lies in the fact that the proposed approaches can be applied by enterprises to improve management processes, increase the effectiveness of adaptation to change, and strengthen their competitiveness in international markets. This will allow enterprises to significantly reduce the risks associated with integration into European markets, as well as lower the costs of modernizing production. The recommendations presented in the study are universal in nature and can be used by enterprises in various industries to improve the effectiveness of change management in the context of globalization and European integration.

The study's findings also confirm the need to integrate innovative approaches into enterprise management strategies to ensure their sustainability and adaptability in a constantly changing economic environment.
