Study of Essence of Managing Changes in Ensuring Cyclic Development of Enterprises

The article conducts the study of essence of the change notion at stages of the life cycle of an enterprise. It justifies a necessity of study of cyclic development of enterprises within the concept of managing changes. It shows interconnection of such notions as functioning, development, flexibility and adaptability of an enterprise. It generalises and shows the essence of scientific studies of cyclic development of an enterprise. In the result of the study it reveals that evolution of concepts of managing changes and life cycle have a complex and ambiguous history. Each stage is connected with certain political, social and economic factors, which should be considered not only in the context of the international market, but, first of all, within experience of the national economy. This has to do with relatively small independent experience of the Ukrainian economy, which makes it difficult to make decisions on the basis of the organisational memory of an enterprise. The said factors make for a deeper study of theoretical and practical approaches to the study of changes at the stages of enterprise development.
