The essence, content and role of digital transformation in development socio-economic systems

Abstract

The relevance of the research topic is due to the active penetration of digital technologies into all spheres of life of modern society. The business community and the governments of the countries of the world, including Ukraine, have realized the need to accelerate the processes of digitalization and digital transformation of the economy in order to achieve competitive positions in the emerging digital space of the new world economy. The digital economy sets the vector along which socio-economic systems of micro, meso, macro levels will develop in the long term, which necessitates research and a comprehensive analysis of digital transformation processes. Previously a priority for individual innovative companies, today digital transformation has become a massive phenomenon, and related projects are vital for the success not only of individual companies, but also of regions and countries. In this regard, a new institution is emerging in the economy, a new category of business structures in the service sector – service integrators, whose role in progressive economic development is significantly increasing, but the mechanisms of their functioning, methods of management, network service interaction with other economic entities, as well as many others the issues remain insufficiently studied, which in practice hinders the development of companies – service integrators. The outlined circumstances determine the relevance of the research topic, both in terms of the formation and development of modern economic theory, and for the increment of the scientific and methodological base of the practice-oriented toolkit for the digital transformation of socio-economic systems.
