It is shown that in the analysis of self-determination it is expedient to use the tools of cognitive modeling. This allows us to identify all the cause-and-effect relationships that provide logical and semantic focus on the desired (target) result of a particular system. The problem of analysis is a special case of the study of the fundamental philosophical category of development, as the relationship and interaction of "things, properties and relations". Formally, the analysis can be reduced to the procedure of semantic and causal interpretation of the original cognitive model. The model allows to study the internal structural organizations that affect the implementation of self-determination of the system. Analysis of self-determination in turn opens the way to effective cognitive modeling, construction of dynamic models, application of game and scenario analysis methods.

This scientific study presents an analysis of organizational conflicts, as well as problematic aspects of activity in contemporary realities. The effect of organizational conflict on the effectiveness of an individual is shown. The urgency of researching the problem of the activities of the organization’s employees in the context of organizational conflicts, as well as ways to solve them, is given The analysis of the cognitive model. As factors used to reduce tensions in a team, it was proposed to introduce factors for raising qualifications and organizational culture. These factors will influence the target factor - performance. In the course of simulation modeling, it was found that by carrying out activities to improve the skills of employees, measures to increase the level of organizational culture of employees, the organization seeks to reduce tension in the team and, as a result, there is less staff turnover.

The project for creation of the first in Russia Engineering Forum of scientific and technological activities, social and technological entrepreneurship “Rozmysly” is presented, this forum develops the principles of an open public interdisciplinary electronic environment. The substantiation of the social significance of the project is given. The new project implies involving an even wider range of practitioners, research engineers, young scientists, applicants, graduate students, students and even senior pupils in scientific engineering knowledge by providing them with the opportunity to publish, read and discuss the results of promising research and development works, engineering solutions, inventions and rationalization or innovative proposals in the form of an electronic preprint. Conceptually, the project represents a new culture of scientific publications based on global and mini Internet platforms. It is shown that the basic advantage is achieved through the implementation of an open access initiative. From the date of publication, the material is available for the widest possible range of readers. The project is a kind of an interdisciplinary scientific and technological engineering forum.

The uncertainty is investigated and regularities of their impact on production systems, taking into account the search management strategies. It is proved, that uncertainty is a parameter that accompanies any productive activity for the period of the projection; due to a number of laws (integrativnost′û, integrity, communication, hierarchical structure, osuŝestvlâemost′û, etc.); is based on two basic scenarios: conservative and innovation Are key factors of uncertainty. (information, bureaucratic, change the value of the currency, sanctions, stagnation and so on) in the development of targeted corrective measures on projected periods.

Keywords: Uncertainty and their patterns, parameters, key factors of production systems management, corrective actions
