Abstract:
This article examines the challenges of strategic management in developing critical infrastructure amid increasing uncertainty and intensified economic and security threats. Contemporary transformations driven by military actions, macroeconomic instability, energy crises, and digital risks are creating a new set of threats, significantly complicating the continuity of infrastructure system operations and necessitating a rethink of management approaches. The objective of the study is to develop theoretical and methodological foundations for strategic critical infrastructure management and to substantiate a conceptual model aimed at enhancing its resilience, adaptability, and restoration capacity under conditions of economic shocks and threats. The study generalizes modern approaches to strategic management, systematizes economic shocks based on their content and the nature of their impact, and identifies their role as a systemic factor in the transformation of infrastructure systems development. It has been found that economic shocks are complex and interconnected in nature and create an environment of multiple risks, which trigger cascading disruptions in the functioning of critical infrastructure. It has been proved that traditional management approaches are insufficient under such complexity, highlighting the need to integrate strategic, risk-oriented, institutional, and digital approaches. The scientific contribution of the study lies in developing a conceptual model of strategic management for the development of critical infrastructure, reflecting the interconnections between economic shocks, analytical processes, strategic decision-making, and the mechanisms for their implementation. The proposed model enables a shift from reactive to proactive management and establishes a foundation for enhancing the resilience of infrastructure systems. The practical significance of these results lies in their potential use by government authorities, regional bodies, and operators of strategic infrastructure sectors for developing strategic plans, implementing risk management systems, advancing digital platforms, improving cybersecurity, and ensuring the resilience of critical infrastructure.

Keywords: national economy, critical infrastructure, strategic management, strategizing, economic shocks, security threats, stability, adaptability, resilience, risk-based approach, institutional support, digital transformation, cybersecurity, risk management, cross-sectoral dependencies, cascading effect, State policy.
