Organisational and economic adaptation of small agricultural enterprises to institutional changes in wartime conditions
The development of small agricultural enterprises of various organisational and legal forms, strengthening their potential, and creating an effective agribusiness infrastructure becomes extremely important in the process of changing the institutional environment. In this regard, the research was aimed at substantiating the organisational and economic foundations for ensuring the adaptation of small agricultural enterprises to institutional changes, particularly those caused by wartime conditions. To achieve this goal, methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison, expert assessments, and abstract-logical methods were used. The study identifies the role of various organisational and legal forms of small agricultural enterprises in the performance of small agricultural business entities in Ukraine, based on their share in area and number of entities. An analysis of the dynamic changes in income, profitability, and efficiency of small agricultural enterprises of different organisational and legal forms was conducted. The importance of developing small agricultural enterprises of various organisational and legal forms to ensure the stability of agriculture is substantiated. The study of the activities of small agricultural enterprises using expert assessments provided grounds to identify problematic trends and ways to adapt to institutional changes in wartime conditions. A matrix for ensuring the organisational and economic adaptation of small agricultural enterprises to institutional changes is outlined, and the feasibility of its practical application in agricultural sector enterprises has been proven. The results of the study can be used by managers of small agricultural enterprises, government authorities, and local self-government bodies in the formation and implementation of programmes aimed at eliminating crisis phenomena in the agricultural sector
