KEY ASPECTS OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES UNDER DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN THE UKRAINIAN ECONOMY

Keywords: strategic management, industrial enterprises, digitalization, innovation activity, competitiveness, digital transformation, wartime economy

Abstract

The article examines the specific features of strategic management of industrial enterprises under the conditions of digital transformations in the economy of Ukraine. The study focuses on the transformation of strategic management approaches in response to technological changes, war-related disruptions, and macroeconomic instability. Theoretical interpretations of strategic management are analyzed and further contextualized within the realities of industrial enterprises characterized by high capital intensity, long production cycles, and technological complexity. Based on statistical data from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the dynamics of innovation activity in industrial enterprises during 2015–2023 are assessed. The analysis includes the number of innovation-active enterprises, expenditures on innovation, and the volume of sold innovative industrial products. The results demonstrate relative stability of innovation activity until 2020, followed by a significant decline in 2021–2023. This downturn is associated with war-related factors, resource constraints, logistical disruptions, and the reorientation of managerial priorities from long-term innovative expansion to short-term operational resilience. The study substantiates that digitalization should be considered not merely as technological modernization but as a strategic management instrument aimed at restoring and strengthening innovation capacity in industrial enterprises. Particular attention is paid to practical digital tools such as ERP, MES, and CRM systems, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), big data analytics, artificial intelligence solutions, cloud technologies, and cybersecurity systems. It is argued that the integration of these tools into the strategic management framework enhances decision-making accuracy, reduces technological and financial risks, improves resource allocation, and supports more efficient commercialization of innovations. The findings confirm that digital transformation contributes to reducing managerial inertia and increasing adaptability of industrial enterprises in wartime conditions. Therefore, digitalization becomes a key factor in maintaining innovation potential and ensuring long-term competitiveness within the Ukrainian industrial sector.
