Functioning of the enterprise management system implies collecting and analyzing information about the state of factors that threaten its economic sustainability. The sustainability of an enterprise is considered as the ability to preserve the characteristics of a business entity i.e. ensure its functioning, i.e. the success of the enterprise’s main objective function in time. The list of the most influencing factors depends on the industry affiliation of the enterprise. There has been presented the outcome of the poll of participants at the seminar devoted to upgrading skills of managerial staff of the road transport enterprises held in St. Petersburg in 2018. Studying the results of the opinion poll made it possible to conclude that the serious concern for the management of transport companies in terms of the probability of losing business stability is caused by the social and economic factors of the external environment. In order to assess the stress from the impact of economic factors there was performed a regression-correlation analysis which proved that the most significant and strong relationship between factors-indicators of sustainability can be seen in relation with such economic criteria as the inflation rate and the diesel fuel price. The net financial result and the official liquidation rate of motor transport enterprises were used as indicators of sustainability. The data obtained in the course of analysis helped to adjust the practice of managing the enterprise stability in terms of the methods used. In the present case, a special attention should be paid to the methods of managing the financial condition and methods of managing the costs of a transport enterprise, implementation of which involves the adoption of appropriate organizational and technical solutions.
