Abstract

The issues related to developing the industrial complex of a particular region or country in terms of the need to increase competitiveness in the modern conditions of economic instability have been discussed in the article. The synthesis of methods of strategic matrix and factor analysis with data sampling and consideration for the Kaiser normalization criterion is the methodological basis of the work. In particular, the methods include procedures for determining weighting factors based on the comprehensive ranking of expert estimates using the simplex method with bringing the initial data to the linear programming problem. The authors have made the conclusions that allow, using a specific example, to determine the strategic positions of enterprises and industries in the region, outlining possible paths to increase competitiveness.
