This paper examines the transformation of the social functions of industrial enterprise management in the context of full-scale war. Based on an analysis of data from the World Bank Group (2025), a national labor market study (2025), and reports by the UNDP (2025), OECD (2025), and VoxUkraine (2025), the thesis regarding a qualitative shift in the role of the enterprise – from a market agent to a multifunctional social institution – is substantiated. Four key social functions during wartime (stabilization, protection, integration, and mobilization) are identified, and a three-stage conceptual model of transformation is proposed (reactive adaptation – institutional transformation – strategic socialization). The key directions of management system transformation are identified: decentralization, digitalization, development of resilience, and integration of social functions into the enterprise’s strategy.
