Digital determinants of the technological development of economy

Abstract

Methods. The general scientific approach is the basis of the analysis of prerequisites, trends and regularities of the technological development of the economy. The dialectical approach made it possible to form the general principles, factors and conditions of digital technological changes in the economy. In order to conduct bibliometric analysis, an online platform for monitoring and analyzing international scientific research using visualization tools and modern citation metrics was used, as well as tools for building and visualizing bibliometric networks VOSviewer. The application of the software made it possible to reveal the main connections between the existing concepts of data visualization and to identify new and little-researched aspects of the digital determinants of the technological development of the economy. Results. Changes in the development of the economy from Industry 1.0 to the digital ecosystem are studied. The emergence of new technologies indicates the transformation of economic systems, as well as their role as drivers of social progress. The risks arising as a result of digitalization of the economy are characterized. Due to the inept management of information flows and data, the most common problem is cyber-attacks which pose threats to national security in the critical infrastructure sector. Digital activators of technological development are identified in order to overcome the risks that arise in the process of digital transformation of the economy. The presented components will ensure the development of digital ecosystems and create the basis for compliance with the rules of digital security in the conditions of technological development. Novelty. A bibliometric review of publications with the keyword «digital technology» was carried out, which made it possible to identify scientific clusters, branch specifics of digital technologies, as well as strategic directions of digitalization. It has been proven that bibliometric analysis is an effective tool for carrying out a generalized research of published works by a certain keyword. Practical value. Digital technologies are fundamentally modifying the field of retail trade, advertising and publishing, management and marketing, as well as increasing the possibility to collect data about changes in market conditions. This modernization process affects not only the world economy, but also the new stage of industrial transformation. In recent years, almost every sphere of the economy has changed significantly under the influence of digitalization.
