Threats to the Economic Security of a Business Entity in the Petrochemical Complex

The article presents a brief description of the results of a study of various aspects of the economic security of business entities in the petrochemical complex. The study is aimed at solving the current scientific and practical problem of improving the theoretical basis and methodological tools for the development of the petrochemical complex.The purpose of the work was to present threats and model the economic security of a business entity in the petrochemical complex.During the study, the methods of observation, analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization, hypothetical-deductive reasoning, methodological apparatuses of economic and mathematical modeling and optimization were used.As a result of the study, based on the study of the practice of functioning of business entities in the petrochemical complex, modern threats to their economic security were identified. A conceptual economic and mathematical model of economic security of a business entity in the petrochemical complex has been developed, including a block for identifying threats and assessing their possible consequences, a block for developing measures to neutralize existing threats and ensure the economic security of a business entity, a block for monitoring and controlling the maintenance of economic security of a business entity.The proposed model can be applied in the development and implementation of comprehensive strategies for the economic security of business entities in the petrochemical complex. Its use will help minimize risks and increase the security of industry business entities from threats, taking into account the principles of sustainable development. The cause-and-effect relationships described in the work should be taken into account when forming and implementing the policy for regulating the petrochemical complex.
