Subject. Considering the use of traditional business models, the digital transformation becomes a cornerstone for industrial enterprises to remain competitive and survive in the market. Therefore, it is important to identify factors making the integration of digital technologies into operations more effective. Objectives. We analyze how digital technologies influence the performance of industrial enterprises. We also identify what improves corporate operations, and choose digital transformation metrics. Methods. The study relies upon methods of the logic and systems analysis, multivariate optimization. Results. The article sorts contemporary challenges to the corporate competitiveness due to the emergence of digital technologies. We discover factors that spur the performance of industrial enterprises in the digital economy. We suggest using a comprehensive metric to gauge the efficiency of digital technologies integrated into the enterprise's operations. Conclusions and Relevance. Digital technologies are not supposed to penetrate every sector. Furthermore, to effectively integrate them, the company should at least have the digital culture and employees who have basic digital competencies. If enterprises have low capabilities for perceiving new technologies, the priority development may turn to be hard for them in those sectors where digital technologies and knowledge are most important. The single indicator is not enough to gauge whether digital technologies have been effectively implemented. The comprehensive indicator seems more promising, since it accounts for indirect effects, rather than direct effects on the performance.

To date, digital technologies and their widespread practice have formed the potential for completely new business models. However, most organizations are either in the early stages of the digital transformation process, or do not yet dare to form a digital business model that will provide real benefits from digital technologies. In any case, taking into account the enormous pace of global digitalization, it is extremely important to adapt the best practices of digital transformation to the improvement of the Ukrainian economy as soon as possible. Based on this, consider the process of researching new and adapting existing management models. Digital transformation – the introduction of modern technologies to radically change the business models of enterprise management today is considered the most important topic for organizations around the world. The requirements of the new digital economy represent the digital transformation as a conscious strategic process of business modification through adaptive management and implementation of digital technologies, ie the restructuring of existing business models. The same happens at industrial and agro-industrial enterprises, the analog period of which is coming to an end. Industries are entering the digital age, thanks to which enterprises are developing in accordance with the new focus. For this reason, it is very important for the formation of digital models of enterprise management to strategically understand the possibilities of digital technology development in their connection with business processes and business models. The analysis of the main traditional models of effective management of enterprises was carried out and their fundamental differences from the Ukrainian approach to management were revealed, the possibilities of implementation of the principles of existing business models by Ukrainian enterprises were considered. In addition, a roadmap for the transition from a traditional to a digital enterprise was proposed for consideration. The process of modeling the digital management system of the enterprise is revealed. Currently, a prerequisite for the prosperity of the economy of industry and agriculture and, consequently, the economy of Ukraine, is adaptive digital management as a basis for economic security of the enterprise. It was found that the relentless introduction of digital technologies, «copying best practices» can later be in reality as dangerous as the refusal to master new technologies. Therefore, choosing the direction of your own digitization, you must first study everything thoroughly, so as not to miss the moment and not to remain in the ranks of the latter or in the past.

This article considers the impact of digital technologies on the organizational development of an enterprise. It shows the relevance and neces- sity of studying the topic at the present time. At different stages of its develop- ment, the company faces certain difficulties that prevent further growth and further transition from one stage of the organization’s life cycle to another. In industries, businesses are reengineering business processes and even entire business models to transform big data and apply them to achieve competitive advantage. The trend towards digital transformation of related value systems using information and communication technologies (ICT) can be considered as an opportunity for organizational development of the enterprise. Businesses use digital technologies such as IoT platforms, advanced human-machine interfaces, the authentication and fraud detection tools, 3D printing, smart sensors, big data Analytics, and more. Digital technologies can be profitable for an enterprise by saving costs, expanding connectivity, and being more flexible and adaptable to a digital environment that is becoming more complex and competitive. In the scientific literature, there are many studies devoted to the study of organizational development of the enterprise. Almost every concept considers organizational development from the point of view of distinguish- ing stages of the life cycle of organizations. Each functioning enterprise at one time or another of its development is at one or another stage of the life cycle of the organization (LC). The article considers the main stages of the orga- nizational life cycle growth up to I. Adizes model and that of L. Greiner. The life cycle stages are correlated according to two concepts and possible issues arising at separate stages of development are identified; as well as the potential complications and their possible solutions through the digital technologies implementation and use. It should be noted that the introduction of digital technologies implies deep changes in the way the interaction of the external and internal environment of the enterprise works at all stages of the life cycle of the organization. The introduction of digital technologies can lead to the emer- gence of new business models for relationships between the company and its customers: customers have direct access to communication with the company, which facilitates the exchange of data between them, but at the same time it forces the enterprise to pay attention to its digital reputation and invest in it. It is revealed that the introduction of digital technologies in the organizational development of the enterprise requires the inculcation of a digital culture that supports that change: namely, an organizational culture suitable for the digital transformation of the enterprise. It is worth noting that in order to apply digi- tal technologies and benefit from them, it is extremely important that new tools are understood, accepted and adapted by employees to their daily work.

The increased disruption of business models through digital technologies creates opportunities and challenges for retail businesses and their network partners. Digital transformation – the process of digitalization of previously analogue operations, procedures, organizational tasks, and managerial processes in order to drive value for customers, employees and other stakeholders – is the order of the day. With that in mind, this article provides a purposeful overview of research in the field of digital transformation with a focus on retailing and customer-facing functions of digital technologies such as managing customer journeys, assessing the impact of sensory marketing and the use of service robots on the one hand, and their strategic implications for business models such as servitization on the other. This article concludes by highlighting immediate as well as long-term challenges in the field, with a focus on disruptive technologies, innovations and trends that retail marketing-management will likely face in the near future.

The origins of modern technological change provide the context necessary to understand present-day technological transformation, to investigate the impact of the new digital technologies, and to examine the phenomenon of digital disruption of established industries and occupations. How these contemporary technologies will transform industries and institutions, or serve to create new industries and institutions, will unfold in time. The implications of the relationships between these pervasive new forms of digital transformation and the accompanying new business models, business strategies, innovation, and capabilities are being worked through at global, national, corporate, and local levels. Whatever the technological future holds it will be defined by continual adaptation, perpetual innovation, and the search for new potential. Presently, the world is experiencing the impact of waves of innovation created by the rapid advance of digital networks, software, and information and communication technology systems that have transformed workplaces, cities, and whole economies. These digital technologies are converging and coalescing into intelligent technology systems that facilitate and structure our lives. Through creative destruction, digital technologies fundamentally challenge existing routines, capabilities, and structures by which organizations presently operate, adapt, and innovate. In turn, digital technologies stimulate a higher rate of both technological and business model innovation, moving from producer innovation toward more user-collaborative and open-collaborative innovation. However, as dominant global platform technologies emerge, some impending dilemmas associated with the concentration and monopolization of digital markets become salient. The extent of the contribution made by digital transformation to economic growth and environmental sustainability requires a critical appraisal.

Introduction. Currently, in most states, criminal process undergoes a transformation under the influence of digital technology. However, compared to other types of legal proceedings, criminal process is more conservative and less inclined towards the modernization of information. Despite this, problems of digitalization of criminal proceedings are being actively investigated by scientists. In some states, practical use of digital technologies in criminal proceedings has already been attempted, which requires study. Theoretical Basis. Methods. The theoretical basis of the study was Russian and foreign scientific works in the field of criminal procedure law, devoted to the problems of introducing informational technologies into criminal proceedings. Comparative legal analysis revealed the general directions in the digital transformation of the criminal process in modern states. Based on the formal legal method and general scientific methods, the features of the consideration of criminal cases by the courts in the context of the active introduction of new technologies are investigated. Results. The article reveals promising directions for introducing digital technologies into the Russian criminal process. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the activity of courts for the examination of criminal case materials is assessed. Discussion and Conclusion. The digitalization of criminal proceedings ensures their optimization and can transform the mechanisms of protecting and ensuring the rights of participants in the process. Modern technologies can be used during certain stages of criminal proceedings and in the making of procedural decisions both in judicial and in pre-trial stages. However, further scientific research of the issues under consideration, as well as preparation of conceptual suggestions to the legislator with the purpose of changing the norms of the current criminal procedure law are necessary.

The study analyses the current issues of logistics infrastructure development and the impact of modern information technologies on it. The influence of the spread of the coronavirus pandemic on the change of conventional business models and relations between consumers and manufacturers, the study of customer experience based on digital technologies, and the trends in the development of new strategic aspects caused by the high uncertainty due to the unpredictability of the lifting of quarantine measures. The implementation of digital transformation in an enterprise requires the development of a strategic plan that includes an analysis of the individual features of the organisation of business processes, the development of the architecture of transformed products and services, new models of interaction with customers, and the analysis and development of an organisational structure that can function effectively during the transformation. The study describes the potential for growth and development of companies in the implementation of digital transformation and the development of digital partnership on the example of foreign and national companies, examines the principles of digitalisation and identifies the reasons for the slow introduction of innovations in the logistics infrastructure. The study considered the main aspects of modern information technologies implemented at logistics infrastructure enterprises, as well as possible risks of the transition period, including risks associated with the low maturity of the infrastructure of certain companies. The main purpose of substantiating the presented hypothesis is to study the mechanisms of optimisation of operational activities in the implementation of digital technologies at the regional and international levels and to assess the impact of digitalisation processes on the re-profiling of personnel and the renewal of human resources. In the course of the study, methods of comparison and analogy, analysis, and synthesis were used. The methodological framework of the study includes the system and institutional approaches to the development of a digital platform for the effective development of logistics infrastructure. The author believes that the main component of a successful digital transformation of a company is the presence of a strategic plan that includes a vision for the transformation of products and services, as well as interaction with customers, taking into account the individual characteristics of the structural organisation and organisation of each particular enterprise.

The digital economy, as an economy primarily functioning via digital technologies, has made its impact on the development of the digital transformation concept. Such a form of business transformation requires the integration of digital technologies in all industries. The paper underlines the importance of the essential elements of transformation, regarding customer experience, operational processes, business models, employee experience and digital platform, along with the key business spheres, relating to competition, innovation and value, which digitalisation changes on the way. The main goal of the paper therefore is to point to the impact of digital transformation on the process of formulating new corporate strategic directions. With this in mind, the main aim of the paper is to stress prospective corporate strategic directions of digital transformation under conditions of deep digital penetration. The paper is based on the working hypothesis that despite the fact that existing businesses most commonly start with market penetration, through developing a digital technology strategy, as well as digital market expansion strategy, further development of digital transformation leads to the creation of digital platforms that are built by mutual collaboration of numerous stakeholders connected through joint value creation and its delivery.

In a dynamic society, digital technologies are a major priority of the modern education system. Digital technologies have now penetrated into all spheres of public life, creating an urgent need for their use. In this regard, high school graduates are subject to much more requirements, such as mastering the skills of collecting and analyzing, transmitting, using data in the information and digital space. The aim of our study is a theoretical and practical assessment of the impact of professional digital competencies on the careers of managers, as well as the development of recommendations for improving the curriculum for managers by studying the discipline "Digital Economics" and developing additional methodological support. For the formation of digital competencies of managers, an informational educational space is created, which includes electronic library systems formed in educational organizations. There are some questions when conducting practical classes in some areas of training managers. The level of preparation of students decreases due to the impossibility of face-to-face communication with distance learning. Proper control of students' knowledge is carried out in test form due to various subjective or objective reasons. Of particular importance in the formation of professional competencies of managers is the methodological work. Methodical work is a complex system of measures aimed at improving the quality of training, generalization and development of creative potential, as well as achieving optimal results in the digitization of education. The development of digitalization of the educational process requires special ways of organizing the modern educational process. Improvement occurs through the introduction of innovative technologies and methods of working with large databases. The main task of methodical work is to create conditions for the formation of motivation to study this course, to provide a conceptual apparatus for further education. As a result, there is a need to strengthen the training and professional development of the teacher, the development of modern creative thinking in the field of digital technology. These measures will contribute to the formation of professional competencies of digitalization of managers, increase the level of readiness to solve professional problems set by modern business models, as well as to the easiest and most active adaptation in the new digital system.

The article researches the impact of the digitalization and digital transformation process on the construction of functional management systems of modern enterprises. The article materials consider new information opportunities for business models building and business processes organization. Approaches to the improvement of operational processes and their optimization are substantiated. The evidence is given that the possible way to implement digitalization in certain areas may be: the concept (strategy), staff training and education, the new technologies implementation. It is defined that the implementation of the digital transformation of the business model can take place in stages at the level of its individual elements or components. It is supposed reasonable to use a system-oriented approach to management, which is based on understanding the object of management as a whole, the need for internal and external communication links, i.e., a set of related management methods and tools in the enterprise and its structural units. System-oriented management of the digitalization process in the article is considered to involve the business processes transformation. Such processes should be based on perfect digital strategy planning. Important components are the feasibility assessment of practical digital initiatives implementation, monitoring of promising areas of action, forecasting the expected effect of digitalization and comparison of innovative initiatives. The application of a systematic approach to the management of the digitalization process is justified at certain stages, which will allow in a certain sequence and order to get the maximum effect and ensure the achievement of goals and acceptable results. The main stages of system-oriented management of the business processes digitalization process are offered, as well as the main groups of factors of influence (external and internal) on the digitalization implementation process are determined.
