The main trend of development of modern society is named – it is digitalization that is causing global changes in industries, companies, processes, business models. Recently, an increasing penetration of the latest information technologies into all spheres of modern society, including tourism, which is currently one of the fastest growing areas in Russia, can be observed. The study of logistic in tourism is one of the promising areas of the modern economy, and, at the same time, blockchain is the main trend of digitalization. Despite the novelty of the trend of digitalization of tourism logistics, there is a growing awareness of its importance for economic and social development in Russian and in international practice. The definition of concept and content of the blockchain technology are considered. The main goal of getting familiar with the blockchain technology and highlighting its importance is achieved. The expediency of use is justified and examples of practical application of blockchain technologies in tourism logistics are considered. The assumption is made that the interest of using blockchain technology will increase in the nearest future.

The article analyses the global social risks related to the expansion of information technologies, mass digitalisation, and the accessibility of sources of all information. The possibility of risky situations arising in different areas of society under postmodern conditions has been demonstrated. This is due to the massive spread of information and Internet technology, global changes in the structure of values of modern society, and the reassessment of a number of historical events and characters by some social groups. The focus is on the destruction of traditional mechanisms for transmitting social experience and memory and the transformation of perceptions of history through the use of virtual forms of communication. A different, own interpretation of historical events, the liberation of historical knowledge from politicisation and mythologisation can lead to risks of distortion of historical memory and even to conflicting situations of interpretation of the past. Case studies show that this, in turn, can lead to a set of risks in the economic sphere, for example: the risk of a situation of global redistribution of economic resources, the risk of losing the source of legitimacy of an economic resource, the risk of loss the reputation of a memory entity. These processes negatively affect social stability in society and distort the integrity of historical memory.Particular attention is paid to the topic of cognitive transformation risk related to the mass use of virtual media in the educational process. On the one hand, they are an effective teaching tool based on rapid search, transformation and storage of learning information. But, on the other hand, practice shows that knowledge loses its consistency and becomes “mosaic”, “clichéd”. The consequences of these processes are of a lasting nature and require further in-depth study by the scientific community, including psychologists, educators, and sociologists.

The modern society, having entered a way of postindustrial (information) progress, has unlimited access to various information technologies. The modern person can’t imagine his life without Internet network, mobile communication and instant messages, e-mail, electronic payments and credit cards. However, «simplification» of modern human life entails set of infringements in the sphere of constitutional and civil human rights. The basic feature of legal regulation of the right of a citizen of the Russian Federation on the storage and distribution of personal data in terms of social development and world globalization is conformity of laws to basic issues of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and practical applicability.

The article discusses the canon of the Marxist critique of capitalism, its methods and means for analyzing economic institutions and the information technologies that affect them. The authors postulate that the Anglo-American academics who remain faithful to this canon are quite leftist in a way that derives from concerns about corporate culture and leads to oversimplifications and distortions of the phenomena in question. For example, economics has turned into an empty concept of capitalism studied through secondary texts and their interpretations in a presentation mode. As the latest failure to link Marxist and managerial discourses in the digital era, the authors cite Platform Capitalism by Nick Srnicek, one of the founders of the accelerationist movement and author of essays on the future of capitalism. The most controversial ideas in Srnicek’s book include the rhizomaticity of the platform model of economics, which he did not himself elaborate but proposed as the typology and genealogy of platforms in recent economic cycles (from the 1970s until the mortgage crisis of 2007 in the USA) when the foundations of the infrastructure and business strategy of the modern digital economy were shaped. The article focuses in particular on the enduring topics of leftist discourse under the new conditions of the digital economy: falling profit margins, deficit, crises of overproduction, exploitation, control, profit-seeking and market competition as explicit motives that supposedly guide the capitalists and managers in addressing new technologies together with the specter of an inevitable apocalypse. The authors question the most popular leftist approaches to critique of digital technologies and of the business models of platform companies and propose a more constructive appreciation of their role in modern society and economic liberalization by taking into account their public benefit and their cultural significance for users.

The modernization of traditional process and service industries, organization of trading and procurement procedures, related financial and logistical operations, change in the structure of consumption associated with the through penetration of information technologies and digitization of economic processes creates the basis for formation of new markets and conditions for their functioning. As employees, consumers, businesses, and manufacturing processes become increasingly related as a single digital space, digitalization offers wide possibilities for new decision-making models being the basis for ongoing global economic and social transformations which change business and consumer models, one of which is the sharing economy. The digital model of sharing economy will be developed and transformed in the next few years to achieve the main purpose – the use of unengaged or underused assets in the economy. In this regard, the search for new tools and technologies for business models development is vital. The authors present the content, advantages, current state and prospects for development of the distributed registry technology (blockchain). It is presented that it will increase transparency, security and efficiency of transactions of economic entities in various financial and non-financial fields. A transactional model of the economic system based on the blockchain technology is presented. The sharing economy features and characteristics are given.

Problems of implementation of Ukraine's European integration course and a number of other issues of the modern world economy (disintegration processes and tendencies, which are clearly confirmed by the example of Brexit and inability of international organizations to act effectively in emergencies, shown by COVID-19 pandemic spread and scale ) actualize the importance of developing the interdisciplinary problem of national business cultures. On the basis of generalized contribution of the founders of national business cultures theory (G. Hofstede, C. Hampden-Turner and F. Trompenaars and R. Lewis) and own scientific and practical developments of this problem the author's definition of basic investigation category «national business cultures» is given. The content of the methodology for its investigation, epistemological limitations (requirements of theoretical knowledge) and the relationship of the methodology with the subject of investigation are determined. Blocks (enlarged groups) of methods of national business cultures investigation are separated, specific methods within each block are identified and scientific and practical goals of the investigation according to each method are defined. The following blocks of methods of national business cultures cognition are distinguished: general scientific, social-humanitarian, economic-mathematical, applied and special. The attempt to determine the factors of trends in the evolutionary transformation of national business cultures within the medium and long term perspective are substantiated (such factors do not affect the internal features and properties of the stable quality of national business cultures): the role of Catholicism as the most favorable to entrepreneurship religion in the modern world; the COVID-19 pandemic; displacement of oil and gas as the main sources of energy; modification of entrepreneurial activity influenced by information technologies; the dialectical nature of the universalization and deepening of «self-identification» of national business cultures. The primary prospects for further elaboration of the investigated problem are the practical use of identified methods in order to reveal the content of national business cultures as a phenomenon of theory and practice of entrepreneurship and life of modern society.

The term ?business model' has recently attracted increased attention in the context of financial reporting and was formally introduced into the IFRS literature when IFRS 9 Financial Instruments was published in November 2009. However, IFRS 9 did not fully define the term ‘business model'. Furthermore, the literature on business models is quite diverse. It has been conducted in largely isolated fashion; therefore, no generally accepted definition of ?business model' has emerged. Therefore, a better understanding of the notion itself should be developed before further investigating its potential role within financial reporting. The aim of this paper is to highlight some of the perceived key themes and to identify other bases for grouping/organizing the literature based on business models. The contributions this paper makes to the literature are twofold: first, it complements previous review papers on business models; second, it contains a clear position on the distinction between the notions of the business model and strategy, which many authors identify as a key element in better explaining and communicating the notion of the business model. In this author's opinion, the term ‘strategy' is a dynamic and forward-looking notion, a sort of directional roadmap for future courses of action, whereas, ‘business model' is a more static notion, reflecting the conceptualisation of the company's underlying core business logic. The conclusion contains the author's thoughts on the role of the business model in financial reporting.

Subject. Currently, as the global economy evolves, its innovative components should demonstrate a tendency of accelerated growth as intellectual capital, information technologies, increasing knowledge and digitization of mushrooming production processes. Nowadays, intellectual capital is one of the economic development drivers. However, the economic community is found to have no generally accepted wording of the concept, thus laying the basis for this article. Objectives. The study sums up the analysis of approaches used by the Russian and foreign economists to determining the economic substance of intellectual capital. We also identify the importance of human capital as its components and specify the definition of the concept. Methods. The article overviews and analyzes proceedings by the most renowned authors, which substantiate how the economic substance of intellectual capital should be unveiled, and suggest its definitions. Results. We specified the definition of intellectual capital concerning the current economic development. We suggest integrating a new component into intellectual capital, such as intellectual property, which includes products of intellectual activity and intangible assets. They can be owned by the entity or other legal entities and individuals, including some employees of the entity. Conclusions and Relevance. The specified definition of intellectual capital will help address issues of sustainable economic development and ensure the competitiveness of the Russian entities nationwide and worldwide, since it directly contributes to intellectual capital and its components.
