Binary Matrices in Qualitative Research of Complex Management Objects
The purpose of manuscript is to substantiate the effectiveness, clarify the content and determine the features of matrix approach to research of complex management objects. The matrix approach based on descriptive and facet methods of research of management objects, described mainly by qualitative characteristics, and involves the joint use of actual classification attributes and dichotomies, as the result of which binary matrices create, the sectors of which contain variants of studied management objects. The manuscript describes the features of using binary matrices in research of complex management objects, develops it basic classification, substantiates the choice of methods for determining actual qualitative attributes and dichotomies of management objects, reflects the methodological aspects of matrix approach to digitalization of management objects, to structuring these objects and substantiating the content of definitions of it terms, to the study of options for modeling and transformation of these objects, as well as the principles of matrix approach to research of complex management objects clarify. The results of manuscript make it possible to substantiate and apply more effective management decisions due to it structuring by management levels and positions of organizational structure, rational distribution of resources to achieve the goals of management objects, reducing lost profits when creating values for end consumers of products and/or services, as well as forming methodological prerequisites for digitalization of management objects and their components. The originality of article based on the assumption that the joint use of qualitative attributes and dichotomies characterizing the object of management makes it possible to determine a specific quantity of its variants, establish relationships between them, create clear definitions of objects variants using computer and management software.
