Digital transformation is an ongoing process that is driven by the recent advances in digitalization as well as the development of information and communication technologies (ICT) that penetrate all socio-economic fields of everyday life and business. In this paper, we describe the digital transformation of energy companies. We show that successful transformation is based on skills, expertise and knowledge of the employees that need to be created and maintained. In addition, we show that digital competences become a key element in building capacities that are required for the digital transformation. This is of a particular importance for the energy companies that are experiencing major changes on the path of transition toward low-carbon economy and renewable energy.

Forty years of empirical research on the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) in schools has repeatedly shown that ICT is by no means “wild” and “threatening”, but rather largely ineffective. Therefore, I argue that the “wildness” of ICT in schools is primarily a matter of impactful teachers’ beliefs. I analyse some elements of these beliefs and suggest that its them that need “taming”. On this basis I propose that they can be tamed by becoming closely familiar with their content and structures, by professionalising them based on research and thirdly by reframing the use of ICT in school as a question of enabling participation in a world that is changing through digital transformation.

The article is dedicated to the analysis of the development of alternative energy in Russia as one of the key factors of forming a low-carbon economy model. Authors reviewed the main stages of forming the institutional environment which regulated the process of the transition to a low-carbon economy model and a wider use of alternative energy including renewable energy sources (RES).Authors analyzed the renewable energy industry in Russia. The empirical base of the study consists of auctions results conducted in the framework of the government support of RES during 2013-2018 and the information system “SPARK”. Using the Concentration ratio, the Herfindahl-Hirschman and the Hall-Tideman indices authors revealed a high level of concentration in this industry in the context of each type of RES. In addition, an analysis of the ownership structure of companies has shown that the most successful companies are companies in the form of partnerships between the state, a Russian company and / or a foreign company.

Organizational changes are required for the implementation of information and communication technologies (ICT) at firms operating in the textile industry. Technologies for a new way of doing things will not provide good results if applied to an old established process. ICT allows putting into action processes in a different way, which may result in many cases, in more efficient and convenient process from the perspective of customer value generation. Textile firms highly invest in digital transformation to get new business models that constitute a challenge for traditional ways to operate. For that, they must face organisational changes. Change management implies leaving a group of structures, procedures, and behaviours and the adoption of new ones. Organizations must be able to identify potential efficient processes as a consequence of the application of new technologies. An appropriate management of more tangible aspects—equipment, financial resources—and intangible ones—people, users, and perceptions—will have impact on change management results.
