Rating of Enterprises’ Activities by the Modified Cluster Method

Abstract

The problem of improving the methods of enterprise rating estimation is considered in the article. It is proposed to apply an integrated approach to the analysis of the aggregate financial performance of enterprises, based on the modified clustering method which takes into account the possibilities of Kohonen's self-organizing maps. The effectiveness of the largest non-financial sector enterprises of Ukraine over a particular period has been estimated by constructing self-organizing Kohonen maps of the aggregate financial performance and the selection of clusters of related enterprises in characteristic features.
