ABSTRACT

This chapter describes the method of control modeling of economic and social systems. One of the high-priority problems of the control theory is the way to work out the best possible development strategy of the economic and social system. There are a lot of methods to settle the task. They can be relatively divided into two groups. The first one is the group of the empiric methods (Delphi technique, expert evaluation method, brainstorming technique, etc.). They are quite easy to apply. However, the data accuracy of these methods will be low. The suggested model of control is an attempt to strike a balance between the empirical and mathematical methods. On the one hand, it is easy to build and calculate. On the other hand, the model makes it possible to draw unusual conclusions about the system control, predict the development of the system, and evaluate the possible conflicts with the competitive systems.
