In this paper, we identify the approaches to using state and corporate management of industrial economies to ensure the parameters of sustainable development and the post-pandemic recovery of the economy. For this, we use the statistical method, trends method and method of systematisation. The novel approach of this research consists in the elaboration on a system of approaches to the management of industrial development as a factor of sustainable development and economic growth of countries in the course of the fight against the consequences of crises (including pandemics). We identify the effective approaches to managing industrial development, which allow overcoming the crisis situations in the economy and implementing the UN SDGs. We also determine countries that were able to reach the positive influence of the use of such approaches in the context of efficiency growth. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
