CONTENT ANALYSIS OF DOCTORAL DISSERTATIONS ON ENTERPRISE ECONOMIC SECURITY, DEFENDED IN UKRAINE IN 2000-2018

Topicality. The urgency of the problem of ensuring the enterprise economic security in the modern conditions of management is particularly acute due to the growing number of unprofitable and bankrupt entities, lack of resources for effective activity, risks, threats and hazards of internal and uncertainty of external environment, etc. The practical activities of companies to ensure economic security require scientific and methodological support, which would reveal best practices, generalize existing theoretical work, methodical provisions and applied recommendations. Although the primary link of scientific communication is article, dissertation works on enterprise economic security are chosen for analysis as the most unified form of presentation of the scientific research results in this field of knowledge. Purpose and tasks. The purpose of the article is to conduct content analysis of defended theses on enterprise economic security in order to determine the general state of research field, the degree of scientific efforts coordination and main trends of published research. Research results. The dissertation works were selected exclusively on the subject of enterprise economic security; the sample for 2000-2018 made 205 works. Further analysis was carried out according to the criteria of method LATCH while processing data arrays - Location; Alphabet; Time; Category; Hierarchy. A number of scientific specialties, candidate and doctoral theses (PhD and Doctor of Sciences), the main term in the subject of theses, dynamics of oral defenses, leading institutions, geographic centers and economy branches are determined. There are certain regularities of the array; as well as constant dynamics in the studies of enterprise economic security in different specialties is not observed, there are periods of growth and decline, there are five institutions of higher education in Ukraine, where majority of works are defended; seven geographical centers of enterprise economic security research are allocated. Conclusions. There is a certain recurrence of topics and research areas in various specialties in the study of enterprise economic security. When calculating the frequency of concepts in the dissertation themes it is determined the difference of specialties and corresponding research within their framework: 21.04.02 focused on the comprehensive study of system development, international standards of enterprise economic security, the mutual influence of national security and enterprises economic security, etc. We have to coordinate the research directions within the various scientific specialties on the subject of enterprise economic security, harmonize the terminology (including those with foreign correspondents), develop effective theoretical and methodological provisions and applied guidelines for the practical activity of specialists or managers of the economic security sphere of economic entities and their activities.

Problem statement and its connection with important scientific and practical tasks. The importance of managing the economic security of an enterprise, industry / region and state is indisputable. However, the scientific and methodological support of the enterprise's economic security is insufficient. The study of economic security at the enterprise level at the moment does not have a solid methodological basis. In this sense, the science of economic security of the enterprise is at the stage of formation, the methodological problems have not yet been solved completely, but the array of publications and dissertations is quite significant. Questions need further research, it is also necessary to determine in a certain way the main features of the field of knowledge and the available work in it. For the analysis in the article dissertations on the subject of economic security of the enterprise are selected.
Analysis of recent publications on the problem. In domestic publications on economic security, the company has certain gaps -in particular, in the studies of different authors, the very essence of the category is being treated differently, the structure of the economic security system and the content of economic security are not harmonized, the method of analyzing the efficiency of the system or assessing economic security at the enterprise level is not defined. etc. In isolated works with a certain analysis of theses on economic security, only a selective list of dissertations, protected in the context of innovative enterprise development [1, p. 40], some references to protected dissertations in the near abroad in the banking sector [2, p.76], calculations of the total number of dissertations on security in Russia and Ukraine [3, p. 104], the number of sources used in three doctoral dissertations from one hundred defended in Ukraine and the CIS [4, p.193].
Allocation of previously unsolved parts of the general problem. Although Ukraine has a large number of dissertations on the economic security of the company, there is no comprehensive analysis of existing dissertations. Therefore, a detailed analysis of the protected theses on economic security of the company is necessary.
Formulation of research objectives (problem statement). The purpose of the content-analysis of theses was to determine the state of the research industry on the economic security of the enterprise and the degree of coordination of scientific efforts.
Outline of the main results and their justification. The article presents the results of a complete content analysis of theses on the subject of economic security of the enterprise protected in Ukraine for the period of 2000-2018. Content analysis ("content analysis") is a sequence of quantitative analysis of text arrays, revealing certain patterns in them purpose of further interpretation of their content.
The primary unit of analysis was a topic, however, later the author of the research technique was adjusted and modified to expand the information. Further analysis was carried out on all the initial data of the theses with the grouping of their characteristics for 7 parameters: specialty, year of protection; the institution where the academic council acted at the time of protection; city, industry of the analyzed enterprise, leading term of the 2018 ЕКОНОМІЧНІ ІННОВАЦІЇ Том 20, Вип. 4 (69) 57 topic of work, scientific degree (doctor / candidate of science). Beginning of the creation of a sample of theses on economic security of the enterprise (ESE) -April 2015, based on the database of abstracts of the Vernadsky National Library (NLUV) [5], commercial sites, defense announcements in the "Chronicle of abstracts" [6] and "Education of Ukraine " [7]. In the summer of 2016, an electronic database of research and dissertation work at the Ukrainian Institute of Scientific and Technical Expertise and Information (UkrISTEI, full access in the reading room [8]) was used and later in addition to the data of the councils of academic councils, by the end of 2018, [9-15] who already had to submit abstracts and dissertations for public examination in accordance with the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (MESU) "On Disclosure of Theses and Comments of Official Opponents" No. 758 dated 07/14/2015.
We must note that the search is still complicated by the lack of a single source, which would contain a summary of all the protections. The National Academy of Legal Sciences (NALS) annually establishes a list of approved topics and provides an analysis of protected dissertations, which helps to determine the degree of elaboration of individual elements in the work of scientists, to find certain regularities, etc.
Regarding the economic sciences in general, and the economic security of the enterprise in particular, the resources of UkrISTEI and NLUV did not fulfill the role of the only source of information, because they did not contain the information (and the dissertation of the beginning of the 2000s and the new incomes that would have already been in the database, but there are no reasons). Different searches on the sites of scientific councils can not be called effective, because for the full analysis it is necessary to first find an up-to-date list of academic councils on the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine website, then visit each site, find available abstracts and dissertations, filter by subject / specialty, add to a specific interim table for further analysis and continue on. If in the specialty 21.04.02 at the end of 2018 there are only 4 councils whose sites can be periodically monitored, then from the economic sciences only by specialty 08.00.04already 66 councils [16] and the process is rather time consuming. Not to mention the growing interdisciplinarity of research, and work on economic problems in related sciences will no longer be able to be found, the search should be carried out precisely by the key words. Lack of automation in the primary search may lead to incompleteness or falsity of further research, repeatability of work, incorrect definition of scientific novelty, etc.
In addition to the incompleteness of UkrISTEI and NLUV databases and the long search for the sites of academic councils, there is a time factor: the mentioned Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine No. 758 of 07/14/2015 sets the deadline for the publication of theses (from 2015) -10 days before the defense and 3 months after it the work has be on the board site. And often after this period of work is completely removed from online access.
Therefore, a retrospective analysis of theses by 2015 is possible only for abstracts (which are not all in these bases), and after 2015, complicated by this requirement in 3 monthsafter this time of dissertation may not be available. What caused such an embargo is incomprehensible.
Publications on the defense of the dissertation in the print media (as it is now in the newspaper MESU "Education of Ukraine", before that -in the bulletin "Attestation Bulletin") in general seems inappropriate, since the edition also does not have any system that could be used to streamline the data, sometimes the search for an electronic version of a newspaper file does not work because of its protection from any actions of the reader, etc.
Creation of a single all-Ukrainian repository of dissertations and accompanying materials would help to better define the key categories, disseminate the authors' work, their recommendations among scientists and all interested persons. (A similar repository on the basis of UkrISTEI was announced in 2015, but its formation is postponed until 2019). In economics, and in every discipline, the study of previous works is a necessary process for determining the relevance and scientific novelty of research. We hope that from 2019 the repository will begin to function.
When forming a sample of theses on economic security, the company considered the widest termwithout distribution to financial, tax, social, personnel, environmental; corporate ... types of security and at the enterprise level, not state, region, sector, industry or business / entrepreneurial activity. There were also no tangible topics -risk management / risk management, sanitation, protection / security, crisis / crisis management, bankruptcy, restructuring, etc.
In general, for the further analysis, 205 dissertations were selected on the subject of economic security of the enterprise.
For completeness of the analysis, the criterion is generalized by the universal method «Five Hat Racks»/ LATCH [17][18][19]

Locationthe organization of information from different places or sources takes place according to their location (in Table 3, 4, Figure 3 shows the geographical representation of universities and cities); Alphabetrecognized as one of the easiest ways to organize large amounts of data in the form of a list, dictionary, list of used literature, etc. (Initial data collection was carried out precisely in the alphabetic order -in order to prevent duplication of data from being sorted by the surname, name, patronymic of the authors); Timedata is grouped as historical processes or data sequence. (Chronology is shown in Figure 2 -Dynamics of protection); Categorythe organization is conducted by the similarity of information, type, color, popularity, grade, etc. (3 categories are chosen: specialty -is reflected in Table 1, Table 2 defines the distribution according to the scientific degree of the doctor / candidate of sciences, Figure 4 shows the branch in the topic); Hierarchydata is grouped by value, value, subordination, etc. (Figure 1 shows the frequency of the use of the main terms in the topic of the dissertation, as well as in order to organize the data rating was conducted on the number of protections from the largest to the smallest; in determining the centers of research and consideration only the micro levelthe ESE, not the economic security of the state or industry or the region).
In tabl. 1 four areas of knowledge were identified, from which the thesis was defended with the most relevant topics of worktechnical, economic, pedagogical sciences and the category "National Security". Mostly protected in the field of economic sciences -115 works, 99 of them specialty 8.00.04 Economics and management of enterprises (by types of economic activity), as well as 5 more on the same specialty in 2000-2004, but according to the previous code VAK -08.06 .01. In 2008, the scientific specialty was created on April 21, 2002 [20, 21], which is singled out precisely for the research on the economic security of the enterprise by the system approach.

accounting, analysis and audit (by type of economic activity). But the majority of doctoral and specialty 21.04.02 and the rest of the specialties are protected by one specialty. * of them, the doctoral dissertation is defended in two specialties: 3also at 08.00.04, 1 -08.00.09 ** all by specialty 08.00.04 *** 1 of them are candidate of technical, 1pedagogical sciences Source: generalized by the author on the basis of data [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Summary information on the titles of theses contains 5 main terms with the highest frequency of use: economic security of the enterprise, provision, mechanism, system, management.
As for the main term in the formulation of the topic, then the diagram of rice. 1 clearly demonstrates the orientation and the main difference of specialty 21.04.02 from others in the study of the ESE: the main attention in the works of 21.04.02 focuses on the issues of system formation, on the system of economic security of the enterprise, its formation and functioning (almost half of the theses -42 or 48% focuses on these aspects), while in other specialties the research is devoted to the economic security of the enterprise (54 works, 46 % of the total), its quantitative and qualitative characteristics without considering the concept as a complex of functions ionalnyh components, activities, evaluation methods, etc. In the passport of specialty 08.00.04 II. Areas of research: 6. Economic security of entrepreneurial activity. 08.00.03 Economic security of the national economy. 04.02, defended more dissertations than other specialties. In 2014, protection was even (Fig. 2).

The greatest amount of protection from 21.04.02 at these institutions is explained by the functioning of specialized scholar councils for the protection of doctor's (candidate's) dissertations in the specialty 21.04.02 or their formation in two specialties for the defense of doctoral dissertations (at the Institute of Industry of the National Academy of Sciences, doctoral dissertation Ilyashenko O. V. "Methodological principles of formation and functioning of mechanisms of the system of economic safety of the enterprise" in 2016 is protected by specialties 08.00.04economy and management of enterprises (by types and on April 21, 2002economic security of economic entities, Vadym Hetman Kyiv National Economic University of Ukraine, Gnilitska L.V. defended the work "Accounting and analytical support for the functioning of the system of economic security of the enterprise" for 21.04.02 and 08.00. 09 «Accounting, analysis and audit (by types of economic activity)». Also in two specialties -in addition to April 21.02.2008 08.00.04 defended works by Lyashenko O.M. and Ovcharenko Ye.V. at Volodymyr Dahl East-Ukrainian National University).
From other specialties on the subject of economic security, enterprises at universities are protected from 1 to 5 dissertations ( Table 4). The names of the institutions are given at the time of work protection, without taking into account renaming or reorganization, if this did not happen between the defended theses' defenses.

Source: [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] The section of theses by branches, which are specified in the title of the topic or are considered directly in the work are shown in Fig. 4 for comparison on 21.04.02 and other specialties. "Not defined" means that the topic is not specified in the industry, and in the text of the dissertation, the analysis of enterprises is carried out 2018 ЕКОНОМІЧНІ ІННОВАЦІЇ Том 20, Вип. 4 (69) 63 according to other criteria -size, organizational and legal form, innovation and project activity, in the context of several branches of the economy, etc.
In most works in all specialties, the parameter "not defined" is most often encountered. Without it being taken into account in the specialty of 21.04.02 the main 3 parameters are construction, industry and financial entrepreneurship; in part with other specialties, the most often subjects of research are enterprises of agroindustrial complex, industry and transport. This is due to the significant role of these industries in the overall complex of the national economy and the corresponding need to study the economic security of these enterprises, the impact of their financial situation on the state of the industry, region and country.
The agroindustrial complex includes all related sub-sectors (according to the wording of the authors of theses), the industry is classified by type of activity (for example, publishing, printing, forestry, defense, oil and gas, food, brewing, baking, engineering, etc.). To financial intermediation related services for business, incl. audit, insurance, security, etc.
The sector of Hospitality and Hospitality is taken as a hotel and recreational complex, a representation of the tourist and recreational area (hotels / recreational complexes / sanatoria / recreation facilities), therefore hotel and restaurant categories and the general wording "tourist enterprises" in the theme of the dissertation are included.

Conclusions and perspectives of further research. Thus, in fact there is a certain repetition of topics and areas of research in various specialties. And although some works clearly distinguish the direction of economic security of economic entities within, for example, mathematical methods and models, and this is justified by the content of research, then other dissertations can often be protected in the specialty 08.00.04, and 21.04.02, and for two at the same time, if applied for the degree of Doctor of Science. In total during the existence of specialty 21.04.02 (since 2008) 88 works were defended, and in the specialty 08.00.04 -115 works, along with economic, technical, pedagogical sciences and the category "National security" 205 theses. When calculating the frequency of concepts in the topics of dissertation work, the difference between specialties and corresponding research within their framework is determined: 21.04.02 is focused on the comprehensive study of system development, international standards on economic security, the interaction of national security and economic security of enterprises, etc.
There has been no detected dynamics in the studies of the economic security of the enterprise in different specialties, there are periods of growth and decline. The institutions in which the largest dissertation on economic security is protected are five domestic universities: Lviv State University of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Kharkiv National University of Municipal Economy named after A.M. Beketov, Cherkassy National University named after Bogdan Khmelnitsky, East Ukrainian National University named after Volodymyr Dahl and the private-sector higher educational institution "KROK University of Economics and Law". Accordingly, geographic centers for studying the economic security of the company were identified by Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Cherkasy, Lviv, Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Construction, industry and financial entrepreneurship (insurance and auditing companies, banks, etc.), and specialty 08.00.04, and others -agro-industrial complex, industry and transport, are the most popular branches of economic security of enterprises investigated by applicants in the specialty of 21.04.02.
There is a certain inconsistency of research both among domestic scientists and among foreign scientists. Scientific efforts are not coordinated, communication is not carried out sufficiently effectively, even the research directions and not actualized passports of specialties are not aligned. In the future, it is necessary to determine the economic content and essence of the main categories of economic security, to develop the most effective techniques and methods for the provision, evaluation and improvement of the enterprise's economic security system.
