“EXAGGERATED MYTH” IN THE PRACTICE OF MODERN RUSSIAN STATE MUNICIPAL MANAGEMENT
The most frequently management methods and procedures used at the present stage of state construction are presented, in particular their specific group - methods of manual control. Based on the analysis of management activities of state bodies at all levels, the relative ratio of manual methods and system procedures used in the management process is determined, the author’s interpretation of “manual management” is proposed, and the motivation of acting subjects is explained. According to the authors, the main reasons for the periodic use of non-systemic procedures and the increase in the share of manual management are still due to the lack of democratic management traditions and practices, as well as the contradictory nature of legal acts and the existence of significant gaps in Russian legislation that failed to adequately reflect all complex fundamental socio-economic changes, resulting in some newly emerging socio-economic links - “sub object - object” are legally unresolved.
Keywords: motivation for applying manual control mode, balance of internal relations of the object, direct in-structions, management structures, state-municipal management, subject of manual control.
Highlights:
• the content of the concept of “manual control” is defined;
• the relative ratio of “system” and “manual” methods used in practice by management subjects is calculated;
• the level and degree of influence of management procedures applied in manual mode on fundamental so-cial, economic, and political processes that determine the main trends in the development of Russian soci-ety at the current stage are established.
