Abstract
In the era of a global market and increased competition, combined corporate entities (COEs) face particular challenges in terms of strategic management due to their complexity, multidisciplinary, and hierarchical structure. The outdated management mechanisms demonstrate insufficient efficiency and fail to ensure coherence and synergy within the COE. This study aims to develop a model for implementing a key performance indicator (KPI) system that considers the specific characteristics of COEs and focuses on achieving their strategic objectives. Based on the study of existing methods, a multi-level structure of the KPI system has been proposed, covering the corporate level, the holding level, and the branch level. The main obstacles to the implementation of such systems in OKO have been identified. The results of this research can be used to improve the manageability, transparency, and strategic focus of large corporate structures.
