Abstract

It was established that in the process of public administration, state bodies face problems that require a special definition and response to them, through the use of unique and effective management tools, such as the "manual management mode". It is in such situations that manual management as precision and anti-crisis management is fully justified. It is substantiated that with the help of the operative application of the manual control method as a non-standard method with the settings of "fine and operative adjustment", the subjects of state administration can achieve the required effect. Under such conditions, it is objectively possible to achieve the set goal in the required time under the changed circumstances. It was found that there are not isolated cases when the domestic system of public administration lacks such approaches, especially in crisis conditions and the information-hybrid war waged against it by the Russian Federation. It is insisted that the proper functioning of the entire institutional system of public administration cannot be ensured all the time in the mode of manual management by the top leadership of the state for obvious reasons. Otherwise, it can lead to the effect of "institutional trap". Manual state management cannot be deep and comprehensive, but only local and temporary, and can even create a separate management system in the general institutional system of public management. It was found that this contradicts the principle of system optimality, because it leads to the disturbance of the optimal state of such a system. Therefore, the manual management mode can be considered as a means of local "adjustment" of the public management system, which is carried out by the managing (coordinating) element in a forced mode to solve existing problems and achieve certain goals depending on the development trend of external and internal system factors. In this context, it is possible to recommend bringing manual management "out of the shadows" by giving it an official status, legislated as the possibility of its application within the framework of a single management system.
