- The second approach is an extended one : “the digital economy is an economic production
using digital technologies”. Most of the external and internal communications between economic
entities (people, companies, the state) in the digital economy are carried out using digital
technologies in an online environment.
The following definition is also given: the digital economy is “a set of activities based on digital
technologies, as well as the infrastructure that ensures the functioning of digital technologies. In
this case, digital technologies should be understood as technologies associated with the creation,
collection, processing, storage and transmission of information based on digital systems. "
Some researchers note that within the framework of these economic conditions, business models
and the model of generating added value are undergoing a transformation, while the importance
of an individual approach to the formation of products is increasing.
Also, in foreign literature, one can come across the following definition of the digital economy: a
worldwide network of economic activity, commercial transactions and professional interactions
that are provided by information and communication technologies (ICT).
The digital transformation of a company entails a change in its structure, management system
and culture. In these conditions, managers face new tasks, their role and principles of company
management are changing.
For example, some of the functions related to data management in the company, which were
traditionally related to IT, are transferred to top management.
However, in the digital economy, data becomes one of the company's assets, and in some cases
the only one (for example, Uber). In this regard, the range of processes and functions that data
management covers is expanding.
One of the important contradictions of the digital age is the following: on the one hand,
managers are obliged to create new jobs, thereby fulfilling the social responsibility of business to
the state and the population. On the other hand, managers must implement advanced
manufacturing technologies that allow the enterprise to save important resources. If a manager
does not implement advanced technologies, then he exposes the company to a huge risk, namely,
there is a risk of a technological backwardness of the company and its further closure. However,
with the high introduction of robotization, there is a possibility of a reduction in employees and
an increase in unemployment (primarily among workers with low qualifications), which, in turn,
can lead to an increase in social protests and discontent among the population.
In addition, managers themselves run the risk of losing their jobs due to the fact that most of the
processes will be carried out automatically. The coordination of processes will take place in real
time, which means that many managers will simply become redundant due to the high
digitalization of processes. That is why the managers of the XXI century face a very difficult
task of maintaining a balance between technological innovations, including the robotization of
production and, as a consequence, the creation of “smart factories”, and employees.
It is worth noting that there is a completely opposite point of view, which is based on the
judgment that with the introduction of robotization in production, production capacity will
increase and there will be an economy of strategically important resources at the enterprise. At
the same time, workers will be able to undergo retraining, will not lose their jobs, and will
