Approaches to Developing A Functional Defense Management Model

The article analyzes the theoretical and methodological foundations of defense management as a component of public administration; foreign experience in using defense management, as well as modern business practices: highlights the genesis of its normative-legal consolidation and implementation in the activities of the defense department; a new terminological interpretation of the basic concepts of state and defense management was substantiated and proposed; approaches were formed for the development of a functional model of defense management and its implementation in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of the defense forces. The introduction of defense management and, in particular, its functional model will ensure the creation of an effective mechanism for achieving common goals of military policy, as well as the integration and formation of effective defense planning, management and budgeting. This will contribute to the efficient use of limited resources (physical and financial), balancing the budgetary expenditures for the development and maintenance of the defense forces and the formation of realistic budgets, as in the Ukrainian Defense Ministry and in other components of the defense forces
