Abstract: The purpose of the article is to substantiate a systematic approach to the design of management objects implemented according to the scheme: 'external environment → concept → management object → function (business process) → enterprise divisions (business system) → organisational management structure'. The sequence of basic concepts of objects management in business, such as management, marketing and logistics are substantiated. The main management objects of these concepts are identified and the relations between them are established. The definitions of interrelated terms 'management', 'marketing', 'logistics', 'business systems (chain) management' and 'value management' are proposed. Main business processes performed within the framework of basic management concepts and the divisions of business system links (chains) responsible for their implementation are identified. The recommendations on the formation of organisational structure of management of links of these business systems (chains) have been developed.

Keywords: concept; management object; management; marketing; logistics; business system; business process; enterprise; division; organisational structure.
