Regulatory measures are carried out using specific methods. Regarding the nature
of the category of "methods" of public regulation, there are also some differences
among scholars, which are mainly due to the consideration of the category "method"
separately or in conjunction with the public administration or public regulation. So,
some under the method understand the way of human activity. Others consider the
method as a way to implement management functions. According to some experts, the
method of public administration - "this is a way of practical implementation of
managerial functions through the organisational and administrative influence of the
subject of management on the behaviour and social activities of the controlled object
to achieve the set administrative goals" [1, p. 365]. But with this definition among the
methods of management should be only organisational and administrative
(administrative).
Most authors adhere to the position that the DRE method is a means of influencing
the socio-economic development of the country [7,8; 9; 10; 17]. It is emphasised that
the influence is exercised through legislative and executive bodies on the sphere of
entrepreneurship, market infrastructure, a non-profit sector of the economy in order to
create the preconditions for the implementation of national economic policy.
There is no unity in approaches to the classification of methods of public
regulation. By the nature of managerial influence, some scholars share all methods in
2 groups: direct and indirect action. At the same time, the first group includes legal
regulation and public administration, which ensure the achievement of a concrete result
without the use of material incentives. According to the authors, the first group should
include the definition of the objectives of economic development and their reflection
in indicative plans, programs.
The second group of methods involves creating the preconditions for achieving
the desired results by influencing the economic interests of business entities.
By useful content, unique legal, administrative and economic methods. Legal
methods ensure the formation and maintenance of legal rules of conduct of objects of
regulation and provide for the development of laws, regulations, regulations.
Administrative methods involve direct intervention in the activities of business
entities through the ways of establishing government orders, regulation of events on
the basis of mandatory for compliance with norms and rules, licensing, quotas, etc. In
a market economy, these methods become crucial only in crisis situations, due to the
failure of the market mechanism to provide development that is consistent with
strategic goals.
Economic methods do not restrict the right of choice and indirectly affect
management objects by stimulating specific actions, influencing the financial results
of their activities.
