Civilizational-value approach in strategic planning

Objective: the article explores the possibility and prospects of applying a civilizational-value approach in strategic planning, which is new and unconventional for this field of knowledge. The authors set out to show how taking into account cultural, historical and spiritual values can increase the effectiveness of managerial impact on developing and ensuring Russia’s national security.

Methods: historical and philosophical methods, systematization and extrapolation of modern problems, the natural-scientific method of interdisciplinary analysis, the method of axiology. These approaches made it possible to comprehensively consider the role of civilizational-value factors in strategic planning.

Results: based on the key role of strategic planning in ensuring national security, the authors attempted to apply these foundations to strategic planning, bearing in mind the main goal – to increase the effectiveness of its management impact on development and security. To this end, the article discusses the role and place of the civilizational-value approach in strategic planning.

Scientific novelty: for the first time, the authors substantiated the need to integrate civilizational-value factors into the strategic planning paradigm in Russia. New concepts such as “cumulative national power” and “humanitarian and technological revolution” were proposed, which expand the theoretical basis of the economic phenomenon under study.

Practical significance: the research sets a fundamentally new approach for further studies on the civilizational-value approach to strategic planning aimed at ensuring security, strengthening national identity and sovereignty of Russia. This approach will turn strategic planning into a real political tool aimed at shaping Russia’s future image based on adaptability to threats and challenges, innovation and resource flexibility, as well as sovereignty in choosing forms and methods for solving critical managerial tasks.
