Risks of Technological Dependence of Entrepreneurial Entities in the Oil and Gas Chemical Complex

Abstract

The article presents a brief description of the results of the study of technological dependence risks of entrepreneurial entities in the oil and gas chemical complex during their interaction. The modern activity of industry entrepreneurial entities involves the diversified development of various forms of their relations both among themselves and with a wide range of related structures, state and international institutions. Technological interrelations of industry production are deepening, and the interdependence of entrepreneurial entities is growing, which may be associated with the emergence of various kinds of threats to their economic security. The aim of the work is to understand the problems and model the risk assessment of technological dependence of entrepreneurial entities in the industry. In the course of studying the experience of interaction of entrepreneurial entities in the petrochemical complex, such methods as observation, analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization and hypothetical-deductive reasoning were used. In addition, methods of economic and mathematical modelling were used. The theoretical basis of the study were the works of domestic and foreign scientists in the field of interaction of entrepreneurial entities and the economy of the petrochemical complex. As a result of the study, the main directions of deepening the technological interdependence of business entities in the industry were determined and characterized. A conceptual economic and mathematical model for assessing the risks of technological dependence of entrepreneurial entities in the petrochemical complex has been developed, including an analysis of the impact of technological dependence of an entrepreneurial entity on the level of its economic security. The proposed model can be applied in the development and implementation of strategies for technological interaction and risk management tools for industry entrepreneurial entities. The cause-and-effect relationships described in the work should be taken into account when forming the policy for regulating the functioning and development of the petrochemical complex.
