Foreign Experience in Ensuring the Economic Security of Service Sector Entities

This study examines foreign experience in ensuring the economic security of service sector enterprises and explores the possibilities of adapting these practices to the conditions of Uzbekistan. The research aims to identify key institutional, technological, and managerial mechanisms that enhance resilience and competitiveness of service enterprises in an increasingly globalized and risk-prone environment.A comparative and system-based methodology was applied, incorporating statistical analysis of service sector development in Uzbekistan (2010–2025) and institutional benchmarking of international models from the European Union, Japan, South Korea, and the United States. Particular attention was given to corporate governance systems, ESG-based sustainability practices, digital monitoring tools, and public–private partnership mechanisms. The findings indicate that economic security in service enterprises is increasingly shaped by integrated governance systems, digital transformation, and sustainability-oriented risk management frameworks rather than solely by traditional financial safeguards. International practices demonstrate that the adoption of ESG standards, innovation support systems, and data-driven monitoring significantly strengthens operational resilience and long-term stability. The study proposes a conceptual model of a sustainable business ecosystem that links service enterprises with government institutions, research organizations, and innovation platforms. The results suggest that contextual adaptation of foreign institutional practices can enhance economic security, reduce infrastructural and technological vulnerabilities, and support sustainable growth of Uzbekistan’s service sector.
