METHODOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SYSTEMIC-SYNERGETIC APPROACH TO DETERMINING THE INTEGRATION OF SMALL AND LARGE ENTERPRISES

Abstract

This article is devoted to analyzing the methodological foundations for studying the integration of small and large enterprises in the context of socio-economic development. The study examines the system of cooperative relations between enterprises through the lens of a systemic-synergetic approach. While the systemic approach determines the static and hierarchical structure of the system, synergetics substantiates its nonlinear development dynamics, self-organization mechanisms, and development in a non-equilibrium state. The article highlights the differences between cybernetic and synergetic approaches and emphasizes the role of positive feedback in the integration process. The analysis concludes by proposing a conceptual research plan based on a systemic-synergetic approach for studying the union of small and large enterprises.
