Sustainable development of industrial systems – analysis of theoretical approaches

Abstract

Purpose: to develop theoretical approaches based on existing approaches that define the categorical basis of stability and sustainable development of industrial systems. Discussion: in the process of studying the sustainability of industrial systems of various levels, theoretical and methodological approaches are used aimed at: distinguishing between the concepts of "sustainability" and "sustainable development"; development of a categorical apparatus characterizing these phenomena; Identification of sustainable development factors; Quantification of sustainability, sustainable development and their drivers. Results: а theoretical and methodological study has shown that the management of sustainable development of industrial systems at various levels requires consideration of the provisions presented in this article: consideration of the vectors of sustainability and sustainable development by qualitative and quantitative criteria; the use of a systemic typology allowing them to be viewed at different levels of complexity; assessment of development stability from the point of view of control system target.
