metadata.value: A variety of firm’s internal environment models has been formed for about half a century,
  starting with S. Gibson triad (strategy — structure — systems), which first formulated the
  sequence of strategic planning stages, and ending with the PEST-atom model, which reflects
  not only the composition of the elements of internal environment, but also the relationships
  between them. The article shows that a modern system, which would reflect the structure of
  the elements of firm’s internal environment, should be built on the basis of its key element,
  inextricably linked to the essence of the firm and, at the same time, synchronously changing
  with it in the course of movement along the trajectory of the life cycle. Such element, which
  directly determines the degree of maturity of a firm, is its culture. Business culture is the central
  connecting element of the internal environment of a firm, providing a harmonious combination
  of all its other elements: strategy, organizational structure, motivation system, etc.
  and making the firm attractive for investment. At the same time the type of business culture
  is the main indicator of the stage of the life cycle of a firm, and since the diversity of culture
  types is limited to four types: the cultures of a professional, leader, bureaucrat and entrepreneur,
  the process of movement of a firm through the stages of its life cycle can be turned into
  a manageable one. In order to do this in the second half of the firm’s maturity stage the role of
  professional should be made dominant, and the decline stage should be transformed into the
  revival stage. This transition will require the transformation of the internal environment of a
  firm in accordance with the model of intelligent organization, which is a logical development
  of the concept of a self-learning organization.The paper shows that in the course of movement
  along the trajectory of its life cycle a firm, by ensuring innovative attractiveness and reducing
  operating costs per unit, consistently implements the following “chain of criteria”: innovativeness
  (introduction stage) — efficiency (start-up stage) — productivity (growth stage) — effectiveness
  (maturity stage). The possibility of applying the theoretical aspects proposed by the
  authors is confirmed in practice in the study of the life cycle of Rodnik LLC.
