Improving the Economic Mechanism Under Conditions of Intensification of Production

Abstract

The economic management reform is primarily designed to increase the effectiveness of centralized management and planning, to expand the economic independence of enterprises and associations substantially, and to encourage the active use of cost accounting, commodity and monetary relations, and flexible management forms and techniques. The introduction of measures of the recently adopted decree of the CPSU Central Committee "On the Broad Dissemination of the New Methods of Management and Increasing Their Impact on the Acceleration of Scientific-Technical Progress" starting in 1986 will be an important step toward the development of a system for the management of the entire national economy.
