INCREASING THE FLEXIBILITY OF ENTERPRISES BY EMULATION

At present, enterprises in our country have a particularly difficult time adapting to external factors and changes in the domestic market in order to successfully operate and survive under sanctions and other restrictions.At the same time, many large organizations due to their size are subject to the problem of bureaucracy, which does not allow them to quickly restructure and adapt to different conditions, i.e. to be flexible. Flexibility may not have such a significant impact on large enterprises due to their hierarchical structure, which may have gone through dozens of crises, and they have the ability to absorb smaller and more progressive market players, borrowing their solutions, but such approaches may not always work. The paper considers approaches to increase organizational flexibility without fundamental changes and their restructuring, and raises the question of reuse of these practices in different spheres. These approaches were obtained by drawing analogies with emulation in operating systems, which allowed the authors to propose as a solution to emulate new behavior of a social structure and expand its functionality, which is not initially constructively assumed in it. Specific examples of how emulation works are also discussed and a generalization is proposed, which is represented as a filter or adapter over the input and output of the system being modified. Further, the complexities and limitations that can be encountered when performing process emulation are described. The proposed solution allows not only to create new functionality in existing processes, but also to influence their efficiency and flexibility in the context of rapidly changing conditions and factors.
