Strategic Aspects of Digitalization of Macro and Mesoscale Economy as a Prerequisite for Innovative Development

Abstract

The paper focuses on the study of the strategic aspects of the digital economy development as an important prerequisite for innovative development at both the macrolevel and mesolevel. In the research process, systemic, process, integration, modernization, and innovative approaches to the issue of economic digitalization were highlighted. The main goal of the paper is to assess the strategic opportunities for the development of the digital economy at the macrolevel and develop recommendations for their implementation taking into account the current mesoscale conjuncture. The authors evaluate the achievement of the strategic goals of digitalization of the macro/mesoscale economies in order to implement the human potential, with the allocation of three groups of indices characterizing the information, scientific, and organizational potential. In order to solve the research problems, general scientific methods were used, including systematization and classification methods, system and situational analysis, factor and correlation-regression analysis, and statistical observations. The data coming from the Rosstat and HSE was monitored using a system of indicators with a reference period of one year. When implementing digital technologies at the macro and mesolevels, the authors consider the possibility of expanding the range of solutions to achieve the goals of sustainable and innovative development.
