The article examines conceptually and empirically tertiarisation as structural and economic characteristics of the transformation of modern society into a post-industrial. The authors substantiate the need for consistent fullfledged passage of the national socio-economic system of stages of civilizational development, based on which the author's definition of tertiaryization is given. A comparative cross-country quantitative analysis of the service sector in national economies makes it possible of strengthening the structural shift in favor of this sector in the economies of a group of countries with an average income level. High income level of the population is but one of the conditions for the existence of a developed service sector, as is confirmed by the example of a number of oil exporting countries. Along with poverty, the reason for the slow expansion of the service sector in the underdeveloped countries is their insufficient technological development. Russia lagged behind the global average level in the share of tertiary sector as well as in the rates of its growth. On the one hand, this is an evidence of the growth potential of the whole economy created by tertiarization, while, on the other hand, it speaks for a necessity of ensuring a higher quality of this growth. Problems of service sector’s growth structure are becoming more relevant in the current circumstances. An increase in the quality together with the one in the rates of growth might be attained on the basis of an outpacing expansion of the share of services and progressive dynamics of labor productivity in the process of services creation. At the same time, this requires a large stock of human capital in the country, which substantiates a conclusion about presence of tertiarization in its true sense only in economically developed countries. A negative attitude towards tertiarization in less developed countries may be explained by the dominance of traditional services in the tertiary sector of their economies that have greatly lost a capacity for accelerating the overall economic growth by now. Consequently, countries, in which an extended reproduction of human capital is implemented according to the needs for modernization of the industrial apparatus in the economy, benefit from tertiarization in the first place.

The article is devoted to sectoral theories of economic structuring, their evolution and development. It is emphasized that in the study of structural patterns of development of the national economy the theory of three sectors is widespread. International organizations use a three-sector model to characterize the country's economy and compare it with others, distinguishing between the agricultural, industrial and service sectors. The essence of the theory of three sectors in the process of civilizational development of society within the phase triad "pre-industrial – industrial – post-industrial" is highlighted. The evolution of the main provisions of the theory of three sectors and the contribution of A. Fischer, K. Clark, J. Furastier to its development are revealed. The comparative characteristic of grouping of aggregated types of economic activity into primary, secondary and tertiary sectors and criteria of structuring of economy are presented. The role of each sector in the development of the country's economy is emphasized. Emphasis is placed on the heterogeneity of the tertiary sector and its role in solving the unemployment problem. It is proved that the reason for the growth of employment in the service sector is the increase in demand not so much for consumer as for production services. The structural changes taking place in the economy have led to the development of the theory of three sectors in the study of the structure of the economy, which went by a deeper study of the tertiary sector and its detail. The concept of post-industrial society is revealed, in which education, science, information become of paramount importance in the development of the country's economy. Five- and six-sector models of economic structuring are described. Within these models, the development of the knowledge economy was recognized as a priority of public policy. Three blocks of the state social and economic policy for development of economy of knowledge are defined. It is determined that the development of the sectoral structure of the national economy takes place against the background of dialectical laws, under the influence of dynamism and sustainability. It is proved that the change of relations between sectors is accompanied by profound qualitative changes in each sector, the structure of the economy as a whole, which translates it to a new level of development. Emphasis is placed on the need to identify growth poles in each sector of the national economy.

The concept of post-industrial society represents a society in which the economy as a result of the technological revolution and significant income growth went from pre-emptive priority production of goods to production of services, has recently become even more relevant. For example, the World Bank experts, authors of the report "Industry of the future: a new era of global growth and innovation" argue that if a country has reached the average level of well-being, the share of services in GDP of the country begins to exceed the performance of industry and agriculture. Currently, as post-industrial countries are classified those countries in which the service sector accounts for well over half of GDP. Fall under this criterion, in the first place, the United States (the service sector accounts for 79.4% of US GDP), European Union (the service sector is 69.4% of the GDP of the EU countries), and all developed countries. A comparative analysis of the service sector in Russia shows that without a radical increase in the efficiency of the sector the transition of our country in the post-industrial stage of development is impossible. The post-industrial structure of the economy suggests that overall GDP of more than 50% is formed by the service sector. The rapid development of the service sector and the increase of its share in the gross national product are features of the country´s transition to a post-industrial stage of development. Only relatively recently came the understanding of the important role services can play in the process of integration into the global economy and the international division of labor. Overall condition of the Russian service sector shows that without a radical increase in the efficiency of this sector, to speak of Russia´s transition to a post-industrial stage of development is prematurely. Comparative analysis of the dependence of the well-being of the world from the share of services in countries’ GDP, revealed a number of interesting facts that have enabled the author to supplement, clarify and restate the conclusion of international experts as follows: the service sector in the GDP of the country begins to exceed the performance of industry and agriculture if the country embarked on the path of the main characteristics of the post-industrial society - the development of services. The welfare of the country, in this case does not matter. Moreover, at present the number of countries in which the service sector accounts for well over half of GDP, is growing rapidly.

In the conditions of constant transformations of business and its main activity, the research of production and operational activity that, sometimes, is missed at research of all activity of the organization remains actual question. The purpose is to present the results of the study to clarify the essence and distinguish between the concepts of “production activity” and “operational activity of the organization”. The article defines the concept of “production” and “production activity”, which defines the creation of tangible products, ie material values. It is determined that production is aimed at creating a physical product by any means of labor. In the conditions of constant transformation of post-industrial society, development of high technologies, science-intensive productions and informatization of all spheres of life, interweaving and interaction of economic and social activity the sphere of services increasingly begins to prevail over the sphere of production. To confirm or refute this fact, statistical information on the ratio of production to services as of 2012 and 2019 was examined, and it is determined that by the criterion of the number of economic entities by type of economic activity, the service sector significantly outweighs the production sector (86% and 14%, respectively). That is why there is a need to separate the names of these activities. The terms “production” and “production activity” continued to be interpreted traditionally – as the manufacture of tangible products, and for the non-productive sphere was created an analogue – “operations”. The authors’ approaches to the essence of “operational activity” are considered and it is determined that this concept is broader than “production activity”, as it includes the non-productive sphere and the sphere of services. The terms “production and operating activities” are distinguished.

During the period of planned economies in Russia and Poland, services were underestimated as a sector of economic activity. To some degree, this continues to be the case. In spite of the existence of market economies in Central and Eastern Europe for more than 25 years, Russia and Poland should be categorized differently in terms of economic and social development. Based on D. Bell’s and his followers’ (M. Castells, A. Toffler, J. Rifkin, P. Drucker) theory of post-industrial society and post-industrial economy, Poland can be classified as a post-industrial country, while Russia is still an industrial country in many aspects. This point of view is based on global statistics and cross-country comparisons. The following statistical data has been used as a source for this research: share of services in GDP by country, contribution (value added) of seven main types of services to the respective GDP of Russia, Poland and other selected countries, value added and governmental expenditures per capita of primary services in aforementioned economies. The main differences between the Russian and Polish service sectors are indicated. The cases of Russia and Poland are presented here to highlight the key common features of Central and Eastern European countries’ tertiary sectors.

A project for the long-term strategy of Russian break-through into post-industrial society is suggested which is directed at transformation of the hi-tech complex into the leading factor of economic development. The thesis is substantiated that there is an opportunity to realize such a strategy in case Russia shifts towards the mechanism of the monetary base growth generally accepted in developed countries: the Central Bank increases the quantity of "strong" money by means of purchasing state securities and allocates the increment of money in question according to budget priorities. At the same time for the realization of the said strategy it is necessary to partially restore savings lost during the hyperinflation period of 1992-1994 and default of 1998 and to secure development of the bank system as well as an increase of the volume of long-term credits on this base.
