Theoretical and Methodological Approaches to Customs and Logistic Management of Transboundary Processes

The paper focuses on the problem of developing a mechanism for customs and logistics management of cross-border processes that meet current geopolitical and economic conditions. A theoretical analysis of the essence of a systematic approach to economic systems is carried out, and its application to the development of customs and logistics business management is justified. The strategic directions and tasks of improving customs and logistics systems are identified. The main problem areas of customs and logistics activities are identified and systematized. An integrated approach to a sustainable optimization of the management system for customs and logistics activities is proposed. The factors stimulation the growth of customs and logistics activities and barriers to the development of customs and logistics are identified. A model for integrated management of customs and logistics activities has been developed on the basis of the systematized hierarchical structure of customs and logistics systems. It provides for building a flexible connection of internal regulation tools for their activities with state governance mechanisms in this area and considers possible risks. The authors systemize the main risks of participants in customs and logistics activities. It served as the basis for the proposal of methodological approaches to risk management in the customs and logistics. The authors argue that the introduction of customs and logistics innovations is a new reserve of leadership for participants in cross-border processes. The research conducted clearly shows that the strategic development of a multi-level system of organizing customs and logistics activities should be based on the achievement of a balance of interests of all its participants and the consideration of the innovative trends of the transforming economy.
