The relevance of this study is determined by the fact that the current stage of economic development is characterized by a high degree of complexity, uncertainty, and unpredictability, which complicates organizational management processes at all stages of their life cycle, threatening to shorten the life cycle itself. Under these conditions, there is a growing need to draw on historical experience in managing the organizational life cycle, reflected in the development of theoretical approaches and management models. The purpose of the presented study is a detailed analysis of the model of the life cycle of an organization by Alexander Alexandrovich Bogdanov “complexity-conjugation-ingression-disingression” from the point of view of determining the possibilities of using its provisions in modern conditions of organizational management. The scientific novelty of the obtained results lies in the comprehensive analysis of A.A. Bogdanov's model of the organizational life cycle "complexity-conjugation-ingression-disingression" as a component of the science of tectology formed in the 1920s, on the one hand, and a tool for managing the parameters of the organizational life cycle in the 2020s, on the other. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in determining the possibilities of using the A.A. Bogdanov model of the organizational life cycle in modern economic conditions, determined by the volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity of modern market realities.
