Modern aspects of the development of the theory of the potential of a high-tech industrial enterprise

The article discusses the current problems of the potential theory development in high-tech industrial enterprises. The analysis of existing theoretical approaches to potential assessment is carried out, within which two main directions are identified: resource and result.

Their key advantages and methodological limitations are revealed. The necessity of developing an integrated approach integrating the strengths of both methods is substantiated. The authors propose to introduce a single concept of “the enterprise’s total economic potential”, which should be considered as a complex characteristic combining the accumulated resources and capabilities of the enterprise. Special attention is paid to the impact of market conditions, the need to take into account demand and integration into global value chains. The article emphasizes that the modern theory of potential is at the stage of formation and requires further development of both theoretical foundations and practical methods for assessing the potential of a high-tech industrial enterprise.
