In article the reasons and need of transition to digital economy, the main characteristic features of digital economy are considered, the classification scheme for definition of the purposes and risks at introduction of digital economy is provided, the conceptual model of subject domain “decision-making (goal-setting) in the conditions of uncertainty” which tools are offered to be used for the analysis of goal-setting at design of digital economy is given.Objective of this research is:1. Justification of need of transition to digital economy.2. Judgment of the main characteristic features of digital economy.3. Identification and the analysis of the purposes which should be realized upon transition to digital economy and also the forecast and a research of the arising risks.4. The logical analysis of the concepts making a goal-setting basis at creation of digital economy.As materials of a research various publications about transition to digital economy, legal documents the connected with digital economy, methodological materials by the principles of goal-setting and decision-making during creation of difficult systems are used.As methods of a research the system analysis of the materials stated above and synthesis on this basis of representations of authors on target questions of a research was used.Statement of representations of authors on the following questions is result of a research:– about the reasons and need of transition to digital economy,– main characteristic features of digital economy,– the classification scheme for definition of the purposes and risks at introduction of digital economy,– conceptual model of subject domain “decision-making (goal-setting) in the conditions of uncertainty”,– which tools are offered to be used for the analysis of goal-setting at design of digital economy.In conclusion it is possible to note the following.In work from the point of view of determinism of an economic subsystem the characteristics of digital economy which are conceptually distinguishing her from the previous development stages are considered.Advantages of introduction of information technologies to all spheres of life of society and also possible negative consequences of such introduction are described. The classification scheme of the possible purposes and risks accompanying creation of digital economy is developed.It is emphasized that decisions at creation of digital economy are made in extremely uncertain situation in this connection, the conceptual model of decision-making process including is presented:1. Semantic representation of decision-making process,2. Types of the analysis which have to accompany formation of lists of specifications of concepts of semantic network,3. Methods which have to be used at implementation of procedures of the analysis.The main conclusion which can be made of this work consists in the following. Certainly, not to stop development and introduction of information technologies in our life as it was impossible to stop technical progress during the previous eras of existence of a human civilization. It is unconditional, clear that to regulate and operate technological processes of such scale – a problem of big complexity.Certainly, risks to receive the apocalyptic scenario within all planet are big: IT technologies are more dangerous (at least, today), than any other. Therefore at decision-making, connected with transition to digital economy the special wisdom, special responsibility, the weighed, multiple-factor approach of the persons making decisions and expert community has to be shown.
