Theoretical Contexts of Strategic Management of Complex Self-Governing Socio-Economic Systems

Abstract

The methodology contexts of perceiving complex self-governing socio-economic systems as planetary-civilizational social systems are theoretically substantiated in the article. Awareness of the essence of modern global and planetary crisis of civilization makes it possible to make sure that the planet Earth, which on the basis of classical approaches is traditionally perceived as a financial and economic one, should be considered methodologically as a planetary civilizational social system. Outstanding thinkers of our time, scientists from many highly developed countries have unequivocally proved that its main cause is the spiritual decline of society, the decline of the holistic consciousness of the subjects of society, orientation towards the definition of one-sided logical-mental intelligence, the loss of moral values and responsibility for the creation of man, the growing distrust to public administration institutions. All this emphasizes the inconsistency of a qualified and competent search the directions and mechanisms for overcoming the planetary-civilizational crisis of society. Therefore, the primary task of planetary civilization development is the need for a radical change in worldview, which would be based on life values: protecting people’s health, education, as the acquisition of new knowledge, peaceful coexistence, the dignity of man as such, trust and harmony in relations between people and people with nature. From a scientific point of view, this cardinal change in the worldview consists in the transition from target to value rationality based on the deepening of spiritual and moral factors that should set the vector of anti-crisis environmentally friendly thinking regarding all management decisions in the field of practical actions to reform national and global economic systems.
