Information-Analytical Systems in Managing Economic Objects

The article conducts an analytical review of methodological approaches to construction of information-analytical systems (IAS) in managing economic objects. It offers a generalised and structural model of managing an economic object. It formulates axiomatics of the processes of IAS functioning. It shows possibilities of IAS construction from functionally independent subsystems and modules. It considers the process of formation of a multi-dimensional database (OLAP) and its use. It shows that OLAP is used in IAS as a means of a multi-dimensional analysis of data accumulated in a database. In this case OLAP provides a maximally convenient and fast means of access, viewing and analysis of economic information. It offers a conceptual model of construction of the information-analytical system in managing an economic object, which allows solution of tasks of modelling economic indicators in a common information environment.
