Cognitive modelling of processes of public-private partnership in Ukrainian regions

The article presents the authors' view on application of the cognitive modelling when managing processes of activation of the public-private partnership (PPP) in Ukrainian regions. The authors formed a system of concepts of the public and private sectors of economy, which make positive or negative impact upon activation of PPP(target component "Investments"). In order to study the cause-effect relations between the concepts of the public and private sectors, the article offers to use cognitive maps, which showed themselves in the analysis and study of semi-structured systems. It develops a cognitive model of influence of a multitude of concepts upon the target concept "Investments" and conducts its statistical analysis (reveals concepts that perform the biggest dissonance of the system).
