TIME MANAGEMENT IN CRISIS SITUATIONS: TIME MANAGEMENT AS AN ELEMENT OF SITUATIONAL MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Introduction. In a volatile and uncertain environment, traditional approaches to planning become ineffective, and time becomes both a key resource and the greatest constraint. This makes it important to consider time management not simply as a personal skill, but as a strategic tool within a situational approach to management.

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to study time management in the situational management system, to show its impact on management decision-making and the effectiveness of anti-crisis measures at the enterprise.

Materials and methods. The paper uses analysis of contemporary scientific literature, systematization of time management tools, situational management methodology, and crisis decision-making theory. The methodological basis of the study consists of a set of methods and techniques: induction and deduction, comparative analysis, generalization and abstraction, analysis of Internet resources, and a systematic approach.

Results. The scientific article examines the most effective time management methods in crisis conditions (Eisenhower matrix, delegation and outsourcing, time blocking technique, agile sprints); a comparative analysis of time management methods in the context of operational stability and external volatility of industrial enterprises is carried out; the advantages of integrating time management into the system of situational management of an enterprise are substantiated. Based on the theoretical generalization of time management methods and our own research, a theoretical model is proposed – a matrix for making management decisions in the system of situational time management. The model adapts time practices to crisis situations at the enterprise and can be used to accelerate anti-crisis decisions. The key advantages of implementing the proposed model for domestic business structures have been identified.

Prospects. Prospects for further research lie in a deeper study of the integration of artificial intelligence tools into the processes of automatic priority redistribution in real time.
