Abstract

It is believed that a spontaneous nature of the uncertainty and its conceptual ambiguity reject a conceptual opportunity of management. Such a disposition, that has become a prevailing stereotype for the perceived uncertainty, leads us away from a productive solution to a number of pressing challenges to maintain economic safety and sustainable development. In opposition to this, in the paper, there is a thesis of administrative acceptability submitted for an academic discussion, methodological implementation of which is in line with a number of fundamental paradigms. It is a disclosure and systematization of uncertainty management principles that is a focus of the paper. The paper pays a special attention to an issue of perceived approaches to management, which have become traditional so far. There are also refined structural characteristics of the uncertainty functions and specifics of the management process.
