Modeling and analysis of structural changes of an economic entity using the nondeterministic Moore finite-state automaton

The practical implementation of structural reformation of industry faces the problem of choosing and justifying decisions. In this case, diverse tasks and simulated processes necessitate the involvement of different techniques and economic and mathematical models. In the course of industry reformation the modeling method is essential, as very often researchers do not have an opportunity to perform in-situ experiments on real economic entities, and the cost of wrong decisions is very high. Therefore, economic modeling is the only way to quantitatively and qualitatively substantiate the structural decisions. Formalization of various situations of different economic entities' functioning (a branch of industry, integrated structure or a company) is particularly useful in the study of restructuring processes of these entities. This requires a formal definition of the economic entity's concepts, its conditions, adjacency of the conditions, etc. I propose a new interpretation of such key concepts as economic entity, internal resource, potential, and target as applied to the problem. A consistent formalization of these concepts enables to build a model of an entity's functioning (an abstract enterprise) on the basis of the cybernetic concept of a finite-state machine, which so far has been used only for complex technical systems modeling. The built model of the finite-state machine can serve as a tool to study simple and expanded production, to assess various development strategies, as well as for other purposes of the analysis.
