Abstract
There is an urgent need to determine the composition and relationship of attributes that determine the content of management science. Scientific literature and empirical research carried out by the authors in recent years have allowed us to consider the structure and interaction of management processes and objects in social and economic environments. The article presents author’s definition of the methodology, which links the doctrine of thinking and activity management based on interacting attributes. It has been shown that the methodology accumulates and offers a set of tools for solving problems and problems in any field of knowledge, including in the field of management. Five groups of methodological tools have been characterized: guiding, creating, transforming, meaningful and evaluative, which have their purpose and content in the context of specific conditions for the study, construction and evaluation of the activities of various areas of functioning and development of economic systems of the “organization” type. The ontology of management science has been shown, which presents the main attributes of all sections of management science: theory, methodology, technology, and management practices. Understanding the content of management methodology attributes will allow you to actively influence the quality and efficiency of management processes and objects in social and economic environments.
The study of generalization of experience in solving practical problems allowed us to propose an approach to the formation of sections of management science, the content of these sections, as well as the justification of their place in management for the activities of various types of systems in the social and economic space. The research has theoretical and practical value for managers and teachers, including in the field of management consulting, for effective management of processes and objects in the social and economic environment of our country.
