Digital transformation is a current challenge for all companies; it cannot be seen as a trend but as a necessity. Normally, when we hear about digital transformation, we associate it with a technological integration in the processes. But its scope is more comprehensive, as it implies a dematerialization of all resources and processes, a redesign of the material processes hitherto practiced that requires a structural transformation of the company with direct repercussions on its culture. We can even talk about digital literacy. The impact of this transformation in companies can be comparable to the impact of the industrial revolution, which will bring companies greater competitiveness; however, not all of them are qualified for this process because, in addition to financial capacity, there must be capable human capital.

Literacy is one of the abilities that are considered important in facing the 21st-century world. The distinctive character of the 21st-century world is the industrial revolution of 4.0. The impact of the industrial revolution 4.0 has been felt by anyone in every aspect of life, including aspects of education. The low condition of Indonesia's digital literacy capability must be overcome immediately. For this reason, this study aims to propose a thesis on the concept of digital literacy based on value of local wisdom piil pesenggiri in learning history in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0. Local wisdom piil pesenggiri is the behavior and outlook on life of Lampung people who are still held firm to this day. It is hoped that through this strategy the historical awareness of the students at Public High School 2 Kalianda in Lampung Province will increase amidst the current of Industrial Revolution 4.0. This study used qualitative research methods. Data collection was conducted in January and February 2020 with natural conditions, primary data sources and more data collection techniques in participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results show that there must be a change in conventional history learning resources to a digital history book that can understand current students without losing their cultural identity.

The development of a modern economy, in the context of the fourth industrial revolution, is impossible without the accumulation and development of human capital, since the foundation of the transformation of the economic system in an innovative economy is human capital. In this regard, the level of development and the efficiency of using human capital are of paramount importance. This article attempts to assess the role of human capital in the fourth industrial revolution. In the future, human talent will play a much more important role in the production process than capital. However, it will also lead to a greater division of the labor market with a growing gap between low-paid and high-paid jobs, and will contribute to an increase in social tensions. Already today, there is an increase in demand for highly skilled workers, especially in high-income countries, with a decrease in demand for workers with lower skills and lower levels of education. Analysis of labor market trends suggests that the future labor market is a market where there is simultaneously a certain demand for both higher and lower skills and abilities, combined with the devastation of the middle tier. The fourth industrial revolution relies heavily on the concept of human capital and the importance of finding complementarity between human and technology. In assessing the impact of the fourth industrial revolution, the relationship between technology, economic growth and human resources was examined. The analysis was carried out in terms of three concepts of economic growth, technological change and human capital. Human capital contributes to the advancement of new technologies, which makes the concept of human capital an essential factor in technological change. The authors emphasize that the modern economy makes new demands on workers; therefore it is necessary to constantly accumulate human capital, develop it through continuous learning, which will allow the domestic economy to enter the trajectory of sustainable economic growth. The need to create conditions for a comprehensive increase in the level of human capital development is noted.

Digital transformation is the core value of the 4th industrial revolution or Industry 4.0. Although the efforts are focused on utilization and usage of technologies like artificial intelligence, internet of things, cloud computing, and many other technologies. We should focus in parallel on regulating the technologies to provide the proper road map and put the proper regulatory frameworks to remove uncertainties in development, investment, or implementation of technologies. Regulatory effectiveness is very important in saving time and rolling out technologies. In one initiative, regulatory technology (RegTech) will utilize the technology to enhance the regulatory process in financial sector; Regulation 4.0 is another; however, plenty of work is still ahead. Some regulators are keen to facilitate the emerging technologies and to see the consequences immediately, thus they use sandbox thinking in evaluating the impact at a small scale. In summary, this chapter will highlight the different practices and methodologies to regulate the digital transformation in the best way.

В условиях распространения технологий и инноваций четвёртой промышленной революции вопросы формирования цифровой экономики в России приобретают важное значение. Оно определяется в том числе необходимостью повышения геоэкономической конкурентоспособности страны на мировых рынках. Поэтому в статье предпринята попытка переосмысления базовых положений геоэкономики в контексте усиления глобальной конкуренции и вызванного им стремлением развитых государств к инновационному перепозиционированию на основе развития цифрового потенциала. Рассматривая существующие подходы к оценке воздействия цифровой революции на глобальные процессы, автор выделяет геоэкономиче-ские особенности современного этапа глобализации как глобализации 4.0. Данный период глобализации связан с цифровизацией и цифровой трансформацией экономики и общества и имеет национальную, региональную, отраслевую и профессиональную специфику. Анализ геоэкономических вызовов цифровизации России на национальном и макрорегиональном уровне постсоветского пространства показывает сохранение страной статуса геоэкономического полюса силы. Угрозы и риски цифрового отставания РФ рассмотрены на основе данных докладов Всемирного банка «Конкуренция в цифровую эпоху: стратегические вызовы для России» и Евразийского банка развития – доклад «Цифровой потенциал стран – участниц ЕАБР». Это позволило сделать вывод, что для укрепления положения геоэкономического лидера в макрорегионе и повышения геоэкономической конкурентоспо-собности на глобальной арене РФ необходимо преодолеть противоречие между темпами цифровизации как процесса внедрения цифровых инноваций и уровнем и глубиной цифровой трансформации, обусловленной изменением образа мышления и деятельности всех субъектов цифрового общества. Данное противоречие носит характер ключевой проблемы для страны и может быть преодолено на основе реализации программ развития информационной компе-тентности населения России всех возрастов с принятием во внимание отраслевой и профессиональной специфики в регионах страны. In the context оf technological progress and innovations of the fourth industrial revolution, the issues of forming the digital economy in Russia are becoming im-portant being also determined by the need to improve the country's geoeconomic competitiveness in world markets. Therefore, the article attempts to rethink the basic principles of geoeconomics in the context of increased global competition and the striving of developed countries for innovative re-positioning based on the development of digital potential. The author considers the existing approaches to assessing the impact of the digital revolution on global processes and highlights the geoeconomic features of the modern stage of globalization as globalization 4.0. This period of globalization is associated with digitalization and the digital transformation of the economy and society and has national, regional, sectoral and professional characteristics. Analysis of the geoeconomic challenges of Russian digitalization at the national and macro-regional levels of the post-Soviet space shows that the country has retained the status of a geoeconomic pole of power. The threats and risks of Russia's digital lag are based on the data from the World Bank's "Competition in the Digital Age: Strategic Challenges for Russia" and the Eurasian Development Bank report “Digital Potential of EABR Member Countries”. This allowed us to conclude that in order to strengthen the position of the geoeconomic leader in the macroregion and increase geoeconomic competitiveness in the global arena of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to overcome the contradiction between the pace of digitalization as a process of introducing digital innovations and the level and depth of digital transformation due to a change in the way of thinking and activity of all subjects of the digital society. This contradiction is a key problem for the country and can be overcome through implementing the programs of developing informational competence of the Russian population of all ages, taking into account the industry and professional specifics in the country's regions.
