Abstract
Aim. To define procedures for constructing regional development goals focused on a strategic vision that reflects both development directions and characteristics of the region as an ecosystem.
Methodology. The study uses the ecosystem approach as a direction for management development in terms of modernizing strategic planning tools. Methods are proposed for moving from formulations of the desired future image to strategic goals, and then to the formulation of the very strategy for the development of the region as a socio-economic system. The construction of formulations of the vision of the prospects for the region’s development based on the characteristics of the ecosystem and directions of strategic development is carried out using methods for constructing morphological decision matrices, followed by structuring the solutions using paired comparisons and graph construction.
Results. Morphological matrices are constructed based on the specified characteristics of ecosystems and directions of strategic development, the results of which are used to form descriptions of the vision of prospects and a tree of strategically significant goals, the integration of which made it possible to formulate a strategy for the development of the region from the standpoint of the ecosystem approach.
Research implications. The proposed procedures allow us to formalize the process of developing a strategy from the point of view of formulating a vision of prospects in orientation towards the development of a region as an ecosystem, as well as defining strategically significant goals and the strategy for the development of a region as an ecosystem.
