Abstract:

The existence of different approaches for the understanding of the concept of economic security, taking into account its nominal nature as an economic and general scientific denotation, is actually, from the epistemological point of view, the basis for the application of conventionalism for explanation of the nature of the enterprise economic security, harmonization of such approaches and the links between them. It is shown, that nowadays the concept of economic security has a significant number of approaches for its interpretation. The purpose of the article is to study theoretical approaches to understanding the economic security of the enterprise and the formation of a certain unified theoretical and methodological basis for understanding the economic security of the enterprise. The methodological basis of the study, the results of which are presented in the article, is a set of methods of scientific research, general methods, techniques and principles, including comparison, monographic analysis, historical analysis, analysis and synthesis, abstract-logical analysis, classification, and systematization have been used. It is shown, that nowadays the concept of economic security has a significant number of approaches for its interpretation. The correlation between such approaches can be considered either based on the shift of scientific paradigm (scientific revolution) by T. Kuhn [1] from the imperative to the synthetic approach, or based on the approach of the competition of scientific research programs by I. Lakatos [2] “security-development” and “security-safety”. Each approach creates the preconditions for the formation of the understanding of economic security, which in the future serves as the basis for the development of the tools for its evaluation, provision and enhancement.
