Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the impact of informatization of society on the structure and organization of the economic system. An overview of the areas of information society, information economy, and knowledge economy was carried out. On the basis of this review, it was concluded that the informatization of economic and social processes has a significant impact on the forms of communication between economic entities, interconnected with the emergence of new types of business, new technologies. But the impact of informatization on the structure and organization of the economic system has hardly been studied. The concept of the composition of the economic system, its structure and organization is considered, it is emphasized that the properties of the system largely depend on the characteristics of its elements, but are not completely determined by them. The essence of the main functions, which perform connections between the elements of the economic system: system-forming, specifying and vital, is determined. Attention is paid to the dependence between the number and direction of connections in the economic system and the degree of its organization. The essence of the concept of organization as a property of a system and as a process is considered. It is emphasized that the increase in the number of connections in the economic system is a condition for it to acquire new qualities that characterize the system as more orderly and organized. A more organized system is seen as one whose behavior is more predictable. The article examines the components of the information process and their list, which is characteristic of various economic systems. It is emphasized that the explosive increase in the amount of information and the development of means of ensuring information processes changes the structure of the economic system, the forms of its organization, the principles of interaction of economic subjects and the organizational forms of business units. It is noted that the main consequence of informatization processes is the reduction of transformation costs, which is the reason for changing the organization of the system and its elements. The main manifestations of the reduction of transformation costs are considered: simplification of the structure of firms, gradual replacement of vertical relations with horizontal ones, creation of platform forms of business. These transformations are considered to require changes in the methods of state regulation of business units and the principles of taxation of their activities.
