Abstract. In the modern conditions of a dynamic and volatile business environment, characterized by an increase in the level of uncertainty and complexity of challenges, the key factor in ensuring the strategic stability and competitiveness of companies is the possession of unique information and intellectual resources that allow finding non-trivial solutions to emerging problems and promptly adapting to changes in the operating context. One of the promising sources of increasing such resources is the active interaction of business with the consulting sector, facilitating the transfer of best practices and expertise to critical areas of corporate governance, primarily in the field of economic security. At the same time, despite the demand for consulting services, their real contribution to improving business security and efficiency often remains unclear due to the difficulty of objectively assessing the effects achieved. In this regard, it seems relevant to develop conceptual approaches that allow analyzing the impact of consulting on the sustainability and market positions of companies on a systemic basis.

This study offers a new look at the role of consulting in business development through the prism of the author’s concept of «consulting information capitalization». This phenomenon is interpreted as a process of transforming the knowledge and competencies obtained by a company during the implementation of consulting projects on economic security issues into unique intangible assets that form the basis of its dynamic capabilities and competitive advantages.

A theoretical analysis of the evolution of ideas about the intellectual capital of a company and the role of professional consulting in its development made it possible to identify the key determinants and mechanisms of consulting information capitalization. An original typology of forms of manifestation of this phenomenon is proposed, differentiated depending on the nature of the intellectual resources involved, the scale and specifics of the consulting tasks being solved. The conceptual provisions developed are verified in the course of an empirical study based on a representative sample of Russian companies. Econometric modeling of structural equations revealed the presence of a statistically significant positive influence of the level of consulting information capitalization (assessed on the basis of the developed system of indicators) on the indicators of economic security and indicators of the market value of the enterprises under study.
