The purpose of the paper is assessment and benchmarking of flexibility level of various agricultural enterprises that differ in size. A number of methods have been used in the study, including standardization and integrated evalution (to define partial and integrated flexibility coefficients), methods of mathematical statistics (for benchmarking of of flexibility level of various agricultural enterprises that differ in size), correlation-regression analysis (to assess the interrelation between the flexibility level and the size of agricultural business systems). It has been found that the larger the enterprise, the higher level of strategic flexibility it has. Structural flexibility, as well as the value of the integrated flexibility coefficient, does not depend on the size of an enterprise.</p> ER -
