In modern industrial enterprises, management can be carried out by administrative, institutionalized or non-institutional groups, as well as by a converging group built into the management structure for their coordinated functioning and development. These groups have their own goals and resources to achieve them [1]. Identification and analysis of potential conflicts between various groups, including between formal management and informal coalition teams representing socio-economic and other interests of the department employees, will enable managers to formulate practical recommendations for providing sustainable development of their industrial enterprises.

At enterprises, various groups have always emerged and will continue to emerge, created on an initiative basis and demonstrating their own management intentions, often having access to an enterprise’s management resources for their implementation. Some of these groups are formalized (for example, trade unions, parties), while others remain informal (for example, adherents of one industrial school).

Consequently, enterprises may be considered as potential objects of multi-loop management, in which the subjects of management are both administrative and command-coalition management groups expressing political and vital activity of the enterprise’s divisions.

According to the works [1–3], development of a multi-level management system will contribute to successful resolution of conflict situations at enterprises and strengthening of their market positions, for example, by creating three fundamental management contours: administrative one, when the subject of management is the enterprise’s administration; command-coalition contour, in which the subjects of management is represented by institutionalized or non-institutionalized management communities of enterprises; and finally converging

one, within the framework of which a certain group, created by the enterprise’s management, carries out coordinated functioning and development of the first two management circuits. Identification and forecasting of such coalition teams within the framework of intracompany management, as well as theoretical and practical solutions regarding the converging management contour at enterprises are necessary to ensure their sustainable development in the context of increasingly frequent socio-economic crises.
