Text 1. The development of administration and management as a science in ukraine
For a long time the Ukrainian management as a science has been developing within the concepts dominating in the former Soviet Union. Although the research was directed towards the improvement of the administrative-command system, it enabled the considerable experience in the sphere of management to have been accumulated.
The development of the science of management in Ukraine in the Soviet and post-Soviet times can be divided into 7 main periods, with each of them having its own peculiarities.
October 1917 – March 1921. The main task is developing forms and methods of state centralised production control, basic principles of centralism, organisational methods of administration and government regulation.
April 1921 – 1928. The peculiarity of the period consisted in the improvement of managerial production control, attempts at applying cost-accounting (self-support) as a basis of economic administration techniques, formal studies of opportunities of participative management.
1929 – 1945. It is related to the organisation of an industrial basis of public production, the improvement of managerial structures, methods of selection and training of personnel, production scheduling and organisation.
1946 – 1965. It is characterised by the search for new forms of functioning and interaction of state administration authorities and transition to a territorial and territorial-sectoral administration system that led to administration intensification.
1965 – 1975. At that time an attempt was made to implement an economic reform by enhancing the role of economic administration methods (techniques). However, they turned out to be unsuccessful. That in its turn confirmed the ineffectiveness of the reforms within an administrative command system.
1975 – 1988. It is characterised by realisation of impossibility of reforming administrative command system that had been formed in the economy of the USSR. The necessity of a radical change of economic relations and fundamental economic reforms had been confirmed.
1985 – present. The peculiarity is implementation of the economic reforms, transformation of the economic system. Given the material evidence of managerial efforts and economic processes 5 stages may be defined in this period:
enterprise operation according to the first model of self-supporting running built on normative distribution of profit;
application of the second model of self-supporting running built on normative distribution of profit; development of rental relations;
introduction of innovative forms of labour organisation, intensification of cooperative movement, expansion of economic freedom;
introduction of the territorial cost-accounting at all management levels;
initiation and development of market reforms.
The development of the science of management was enriched by the considerable contribution of such Ukrainian scholars as Ostap Terletskyy (1850 – 1902), Mykhailo Pavlyk (1896 – 1977), Mykhailo Drahomanov (1841 – 1895), Mykola Ziber (1844 – 1888), Serhiy Podolynskyy (1850 – 1891), Mykhailo Tuhan-Baranovskyy (1865 – 1919), Ivan Vernadskyy (1821 – 1884), Hryhoriy Tsekhanovetskyy (1833 – 1898), Kostiantyn Voblyy (1876 – 1947) etc.
The modern model of management in Ukraine is being formed on the grounds of studies of the evolution of managerial science, generalisation of experience of the developed countries in the world, strong traditions of management activity at Ukrainian institutions from the earliest times. The development of the Ukrainian management is taking place within the framework of transformational processes in the economy of the present-day Ukraine.

1. В Україні управлінська наука упродовж тривалого часу розвивалася в межах концепцій, які домінували у СРСР. 2. Основне завдання – розроблення форм і методів державного централізованого управління виробництвом. 3. У розвитку управлінської науки в Україні можна виділити сім періодів. 4. Кожен з цих періодів характеризується певними особливостями. 5. Обґрунтування принципів централізму, розроблення організаційних методів управління – лише частина із основних завдань, що вирішувалися у період із жовтня 1917 р. до березня 1921 р. 6. Другий період у розвитку менеджменту (квітень 1921–1928 рр.) характеризується спробами застосування госпрозрахунку як основи економічних методів управління. 7. У цей період вивчалися можливості залучення працівників до управління. 8. Пошук нових форм функціонування і взаємодії державних органів управління, спроба перейти до територіальної й територіально-галузевої системи управління привели до поглиблення адміністрування. 9. У період з 1965 р. по 1975 р. було зроблено спробу здійснити господарську реформу через посилення ролі економічних методів управління. 10.
