Abstract

Uncertainty as a self-condition of open stochastic system is a principium of development of risk representations and their influences on organizational-economic subjects and objects. Undoubtedly, taking any management decisions is followed by uncertainty influence. This circumstance absolutely logically turns this category into central concept of management theory in various fields of knowledge. In this article the author deeply inquires into a question of uncertainty and certainty property estimation in organizational-economic system, gives and proves an author's opinion at the uncertainty nature and approaches to its calculation that is accompanied with studying of back property toward uncertainty – certainty of organizational-economic system. The author puts forward and reasonably proves a model of uncertainty cycle and calculation methods of cumulative uncertainty and certainty.
