New developments in information and communication technologies (ICTs) over the past few decades, especially the establishment of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s, have created an unprecedented capacity for people to access and retrieve information on the Internet. Such developments have also affected the way public institutions, particularly governments, provide services to their citizens in addressing the challenges of improving government efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and accountability (Allen, Juillet, Pacquet, & Roy, 2001; Allen, Juillet, Miles, Paquet, Roy, & Wilkins, 2004; Holliday, 2002; La Porte, Demchak, de Jong, 2002; UN, 2004). In addressing these challenges, applications of ICTs have been considered as one of key components in the various public sector reforms, and to some extent associated with the coining of “reinventing government” (Heeks, 2001; Ho, 2002). Thus, by the late 1990s many governments were already delivering Web-based services as “an integral and significant part of a new ‘e-government’ ” (Ho, 2002, p. 434). All over the world, therefore, countries and states are at the various stages of implementing e-government or digital government to improve delivery of government services to their citizens and at the same time to provide increased avenues for direct participation of citizens in addressing with their governments the citizens’ development needs. In general, in all respects of implementing e-government strategies, developed countries are far ahead of developing countries (Basu, 2004; La Porte et al., 2002; Nath, 2003; Netchaeva, 2002; Singh & Naidoo, 2005; UN, 2001, 2002, 2004) due to a number of reasons that will be highlighted later in this chapter.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the issues of the modern factors of international business activation in Ukraine and the world. It has been noted that the last decade is characterized by the intensification of digital technologies and their active influence on the development of international economic activity. It has been confirmed that the most important factors in the intensification of international business are the development of information and communication technologies and the "fintech" technologies. It has been shown that the key carriers of modern digital technologies are the leading multinational corporations, which play a key role in the creation, development and dissemination of innovations. Modern TNCs directly affect new trends in international business, global competitiveness in international markets, as well as the economies of the world's economies. The article defines that in the current conditions of international business development it is becoming increasingly obvious that the interdependence between the activities of modern corporations and key trends in the world economy. Purpose. The main purpose of the article is to highlight the trends in the development of digitalization and informatization processes as the most important factors in the development of modern international business. It is necessary to study the indicators of economic activity of corporations in the sector of information and communication technologies. Results. It has been noted that the products of the ICT sector are used mainly by developed countries and especially by developing countries. The least developed countries and countries with economies in transition are almost not involved in this trade, but since 2017 they have been slowly increasing this trend. It has been confirmed that areas of international business differ significantly depending on the use of digital technologies. The risks and opportunities of digitalization for international companies have been identified. The indicators of the information and communication technologies’ development in Ukraine have been analyzed. The progressive development of the IT ecosystem in Ukraine in such elements as the number of IT outsourcing and product companies, the number of people employed in this industry, the growing market share of Ukrainian IT services and products have been identified. Among the modern world-class digital technologies that successfully transform the business environment within the country are the following: cloud computing, Internet of things, robotics, big data, machine learning, artificial intelligence, 3D printing and blockchain. It has been proved that among the main tasks of modern corporations today is the desire to gain new competitive advantages through the use of information and communication technologies, the full use of the needs of informatization of the world economy. Conclusions. Modern opportunities for TNCs in the information sphere are related to the sphere of the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT creates new opportunities for better business conduct and quality, increased customer satisfaction, consumermanufacturer relationships, and generally increased business activity in the industry The risks of informatization have been identified, namely: the growth of cybercrime; strengthening the technological vulnerability of digital infrastructure; issues of aging of fixed assets and their safe disposal; possible weakening of technological and economic national security of individual countries due to the growth of technological dependence on foreign suppliers. The issues of possible job loss due to the development of the innovative industry and automation of production processes are becoming more relevant.

The Impact

The article simulates the impact of the digital technologies’ development on economic growth, which makes it possible to find ways to improve the quality of various spheres of life and identify areas of the economy, the accelerated digitalization of which will ensure an increase in gross domestic product (GDP). The research used groupings of economic activities that directly influence the development of the digital economy. Using the data of regression models, the coefficients of GDP elasticity from the development of the studied sectors were calculated and used to forecast GDP under the development influence of the studied sectors while maintaining the existing trends. The dynamics of the e-commerce market development in Ukraine, the dynamics of production volumes of products (services) of the main types of economic activities in the field of digital transformation of the economy in Ukraine, the dynamics of financial results of enterprises in the information and telecommunications sector in Ukraine, the dynamics of capital investments in the field of information and communications of Ukraine, the dynamics of foreign investment in the development of the type of economic activity “information and telecommunications” in Ukraine, the dynamics of the development of the main areas of digitalization of the Ukrainian economy in 2010-2018 and the dynamics of GDP in actual prices were revealed. A correlation and regression analysis of the impact of the main indicators of the digital technologies sectors development on Ukraine's GDP is also carried out. The forecast extrapolation trend of production growth volumes of products and services in the information sector of Ukraine was built. A forecast of GDP growth in Ukraine has been constructed, taking into account the processes of digitalization of the economy in accordance with certain trends. The forecast dynamics of changes in GDP under the influence of the IT sector development until 2023 was also illustrated. It was found that Ukraine lags significantly behind most developed countries in terms of the level of industrial production development of information and communication technologies and equipment, Ukraine is completely import-dependent in this area. It has been proved that stimulating the development of information and communication technologies has significant prospects for activating digitalization processes in all spheres of the economy and society and increasing GDP.

Resumen: El número de personas con obesidad ha crecido a nivel mundial desde 105 millones de personas en 1975 hasta 640 en 2016, y esta cifra no para de aumentar. Si las tendencias actuales no cambian, un 20% de la población mundial será obesa para el año 2025. A pesar de que existen regiones en el mundo en las que la pobreza y la hambruna matan a decenas de miles de personas cada día, en los países desarrollados y emergentes el crecimiento económico ha traído consigo más y más comida, pero sobre todo, muchas calorías poco saludables y estilos de vida más sedentarios. Los gobiernos, incapaces de detener esta epidemia sanitaria, tendrán que prepararse para unos costes médicos cada vez mayores. Ante esta situación, es evidente la necesidad de proponer nuevas políticas que permitan frenar el aumento de la obesidad en la población, para así evitar que se produzca una epidemia de severa obesidad. En este artículo resaltaremos aquellas políticas que incluyen tecnologías que permitan asegurar la saludabilidad de los productos alimentarios que se ingieren, que propongan programas mejorados de entrenamiento para la salud, aumenten el nivel de autoeficacia, autorregulación y motivación para cambiar el comportamiento alimentario del usuario.Palabras clave: Obesidad, Prevención, Tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones, Aplicaciones móviles Abstract: The number of people suffering obesity has grown at world level from 105 millions in 1975 until 640 in 2016, and this number is still increasing. If this trend does not change, it is estimated that the 20% of the world population will be obesity by 2025. Although there are several regions in the world where the poverty and the famine is killing to thousands of people every day, in the developed countries the economical growing has derived in more and more food, but above all, in a lot of unhealthy food and more sedentary lifestyles. The Goverments are not able to stop this health epidemic, so they have to be ready to cope with very high medical costs associated to this problem. Due to this situation, it is evident the requirement to propose new policy measures to stop the obesity in the population, and avoid an epidemic of severe and global obesity. In this paper it is described some of the technological measures whose aim is to monitor and ensure the good quality of food, and propose different training programs for the health, increasing their effectiveness through the self-regulation and the encourage of people to change their nutritional behaviour.

The article compares the processes of dissemination of modern information and communication technologies in government bodies in Russia and abroad. It is stated that Russia began the transition to «electronic government» later than the developed countries, in which this process was launched within the framework of large-scale and comprehensive programs for reforming public administration in the 1980s and 1990s. However, to date, there is an alignment in the pace and content of digitalization tasks. At a new stage in this process, the concept of «electronic government» under the influence of such newest phenomena of the emerging information society as methods of analysis of «big data», «artificial intelligence», «Internet of things», «blockchain» is being transformed into the category of «digital government». Achievements and prospects of public administration digitalization are considered on the example of countries with the highest ratings — Denmark, Australia, Republic of Korea, Great Britain, USA and Russia.

Information and telecommunication services are currently a full-fledged resource for social development compared to traditional resources. The growth of the level of scientific and technological progress has led to the incredibly fast development paces in the sphere of information and communication technologies, which has a significant impact on the development of the economy. On the basis of a thorough analysis of the sectors of information and communication technologies and components of the ICT development index, the article substantiates the need for accelerated digitization of the majority of enterprises of different spheres of economic activity with the aim of qualitative development of Ukrainian economy in order to increase its competitiveness in the world. This is explained by the fact that information and technology represent the main economic resource in the period of formation of information society and digital economy, and enterprises of the sphere of communication and informatization are a catalyst for social and economic development of the country as a whole. Using a methodological toolkit of the theory of systematic and correlation-regression analysis, an economic-mathematical model of the development of the sphere of communication and informatization in the regions of the world and individual countries of the world is constructed. It is based on the existing pattern of leading development of the communications sector, but takes into account the degree of economy dependence on the ICT development, which in some regions and countries is 100%. This is due to the approaching mass availability of ICT services in some countries in these regions. On the basis of the constructed model, the forecasting of GDP PPP per capita was carried out, which showed faster rates of growth of the country’s economy with the growth of the development level of the sphere of communication and informatization and accessibility of telecommunication services. In turn, the availability of telecommunication services is influenced by the digital skills of society and the level of their prices, which has necessitated determining the dependence of GDP PPP per capita on prices for communication services of countries with varying degrees of socio-economic development. This makes it possible to identify reserves for improving the productivity of individuals while increasing the availability of telecommunications services.

Purpose of the study. Information and communication technologies are becoming a powerful tool for the development of electronic business. Today, the leaders in the global economic and political space are precisely those countries that have learned to determine the vector of development of information technologies and use new opportunities for their application. The development of innovative digital technologies in Russia and in the world is widely discussed in the framework of various discussion platforms. In particular, at the International Forum “The Digital Future of the Global Economy” (January 31, 2020 Almaty), digitalization of trade processes between the EAEU membercountries became one of the main topics. The annual Tech Week conference (Moscow) is becoming a traditional place for discussing the implementation of innovative technologies in business, as well as for the exchange of experience of leading Russian and world corporations in the field of electronic business. In this regard, there is a need for a comprehensive statistical assessment of the development level of electronic business of the territory.Materials and methods. The research was based on the data of the Federal State Statistics Service for 2018 for the regions of the Volga federal district, and the results of monitoring the development of the information society in the Russian Federation. As a tool for assessing the degree of digitalization of business in the regions of the Volga federal district, the graphic polygon (radar) method is used.Results. The article provides a retrospective analysis of the stages of development of electronic business in Russia. Among the characteristic features of the modern stage of its development are the mass introduction of Internet technologies and the transformation of traditional business methods. The introduction of advanced information and communication technologies contributes to greater involvement of the business sector in electronic business. In terms of the level of development of information and communication technologies (ICT Development Index), Russia ranks 45th among the countries of the world. For the period 2010 - 2018 the development of electronic business in Russia has a positive trend. According to the results of 2018, the volume of the Russian e-commerce market amounted to 1280 billion rubles, or 4.1% of the total trade turnover. According to forecast estimates, by 2023 the volume of Russian e-commerce market will grow to 8.5% of the total turnover and amount to 2780 billion rubles. An integrated assessment of the development level of electronic business was carried out according to sixteen local criteria. As a result of calculating the private and local ranks of the values of the relevant criteria, fourteen polygons of the level of development of electronic business were constructed by the number of regions of the Volga federal district. The results obtained allow us to state the existence of a high degree of heterogeneity of the regions of the Volga federal district according to the integral indicator under study. Among the leading regions in terms of electronic business development are the Republic of Tatarstan, Perm krai and Nizhny Novgorod region. Outsider regions – the Mari El Republic, the Republic of Mordovia, and the Kirov region – are characterized by a low percentage of organizations that used the capabilities of the Intranet and Extranet, the absence of special software for managing sales of goods (works, services), and limited use of software, in particular ERP, CRM and SCM systems.Conclusion. The widespread use of information and communication technologies entails the expansion of opportunities and improving the quality of coordination of business activities. We should remember that if modern business cannot quickly adapt to the new requirements of the digital economy, then it risks becoming uncompetitive. The results of the study revealed a differentiation in the development of electronic business in the regions of the Volga federal district. A similar situation is observed in most constituent entities of the Russian Federation and is due in many respects to specific reasons for each region. The timely fulfillment of the goals and objectives of digital transformations in the Russian Federation reflected in the Digital Economy of the Russian Federation Program and other regulatory documents will help to smooth out the existing imbalances.
