Abstract

In the context of the dynamic development of the insurance market and the increasing impact of various risks, the ability of insurance company management to effectively lead the enterprise toward achieving planned outcomes is becoming particularly relevant. Traditional approaches to assessing management efficiency are largely based on financial indicators such as profitability, liquidity, and cost levels. This reflects a narrow understanding of management challenges and highlights the need for broader scientific exploration in this area.
The purpose of this article is to define the concept of management efficiency in insurance companies as an economic category that reflects the achievement of strategic and operational goals by optimizing managerial processes.
The article analyses the economic nature and key components of effective insurance company management in today’s environment. The conducted study reveals the multifactorial nature of insurer management effectiveness. It also systematizes internal and external factors influencing the effectiveness of managerial decisions under unstable economic conditions.
