The purpose of this research is to study the provision of logistics services in the context of Industry 4.0 and analyze the level of application of modern technologies in the field of transport and logistics based on an assessment of the relationship between technological readiness, the development of innovation and the efficiency of logistics in Kazakhstan. Based on data from the World Bank and the World Economic Forum on the Logistics Performance Index (LPI) and Global Competitiveness (GCI), a correlation analysis was made between the indicators of technological readiness, innovation and the Logistics Performance sub-indices. Also, based on the data of a sample study by the Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the use of ICT, the main trends in the development of digital technologies in the field of transport and warehousing in the country have been identified. Correlation analysis showed that in Kazakhstan the level of technological readiness has a strong relationship with the development of logistics efficiency parameters: customs, tracking of cargo transportation, quality of service and competence, quality of infrastructure, adherence to delivery times. It should be noted that the development of logistics is not associated with the innovative development of the country, this is due to the low level of innovation in the country. The study of statistical data in Kazakhstan revealed a low level of digital transformation of the transport and logistics sector: there is a passive use of digital technologies at transport and warehousing enterprises, a low level of investment in digitalization, the need for personnel in the field of ICT in logistics.

Abstract The logistics performance has a crucial role in the industrial and economic development of countries. This study aims to underline implications for policy makers in improving the logistics performance of countries in terms of Industry 4.0. For this purpose, the effect of digitalisation on logistics performance is analysed by using correlation and multiple regression analysis. The empirical study builds upon dimensions and indicators of the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) and Logistics Performance Index (LPI) of the World Bank. The results indicate that governmental policies should target to deliver sound framework conditions for the generation of human capital (here: ICT specialists), sustainable usage of internet services (e.g. professional social networks, online sales, etc.), integration of digital technologies (e.g. Big Data, Cloud computing, etc.), as well as digital connectivity (here: fixed broadband and 4G coverage) in order facilitate improvement of logistics performance.

Digital technologies, ubiquitous in our daily life, have radically changed the way we work, communicate, and consume in a short period of time. They affect all components of quality of life: well-being, work, health, education, social connections, environmental quality, the ability to participate and govern civil society, and so on. Digital transformation creates both opportunities and serious risks to the well-being of people. Researchers and statistical agencies around the world are facing a major challenge to develop new tools to analyze the impact of digital transformation on the well-being of the population. The risks are very diverse in nature and it is very difficult to identify the key factor. All researchers conclude that secure digital technologies significantly improve the lives of those who have the skills to use them and pose a serious risk of inequality for society, as they introduce a digital divide between those who have the skills to use them and those who do not. In the article, the author examines the risks created by digital technologies for some components of the quality of life (digital component of the quality of life), which are six main components: the digital quality of the population, providing the population with digital benefits, the labor market in the digital economy, the impact of digitalization on the social sphere, state electronic services for the population and the security of information activities. The study was carried out on the basis of the available statistical base and the results of research by scientists from different countries of the world. The risks of the digital economy cannot be ignored when pursuing state social policy. Attention is paid to government regulation aimed at reducing the negative consequences of digitalization through the prism of national, federal projects and other events.

The article explores the interrelation between the main factors of national economy competitiveness on the basis of logical and correlation analysis of the data on 144 countries presented in The Global Competitiveness Report issued by the World Economic Forum. The analysis of the strength and nature of the relations between the factors gives grounds to assume that institutions, infrastructure, higher education and training are core problems; goods market efficiency, technological readiness are key problems; business sophistication and innovation are resulting problems. The analysis shows that the competitiveness indicators of other BRICS countries which are better than Russian ones, are achieved not due to any remarkable progress in economic policy, but owing to the lack of serious failures typical for Russian economy. For instance, the high level of Russian infrastructure, macroeconomic stability, sizes of home market and some other indicators come to nothing because of extremely low level of Russian institutions, market efficiency, financial market, and business sophistication. As a result, other BRICS countries' progress, which is not so remarkable itself, gives much better cumulative result in comparison with Russian breakthrough, which cannot be accomplished in the environment that is unfavorable for it. With the view of Russian economy competitiveness and innovation upgrade, firstly, it is essential to increase the quality of Russian institutions (the necessity of reforms is indubitable: Russia occupies the 133d place in the world in accordance with the quality of its institutions), to improve the infrastructure, higher education and training. The advancement in solving these problems will facilitate the situation or solve the large part of the problems of goods market efficiency and improve the existing technological readiness. The increasing of the goods market quality and the improvement of technological readiness will, in their turn, upgrade business sophistication and innovations. The proposed approach gives ground to claim that the reforms need to be made in the sequence described above. The upgrade of Russian companies’ business sophistication and their innovation will be to a great extent the result of the solution of the mentioned problems.

The article is devoted to an urgent problem related to the security of critical information infrastructure. The introduction of digital technologies in all spheres of society is in line with the priority policy for the development of the digital industry. At the same time, the number and quality of cyberattacks on significant objects of critical information infrastructure is constantly increasing in the world. But not all subjects of information relations, even understanding the presence of threats, are able to adequately assess and organize an effective security system for these objects. In this regard, ensuring the security of significant objects of critical information infrastructure is currently the primary task of the state - both the Russian Federation and other countries. The article provides a comparative analysis of approaches to ensuring the security of critical information infrastructure in Russia and in foreign countries. The problems of legal regulation of critical information infrastructure in Russia are identified and solutions are proposed to overcome them. There are traced the shortcomings associated with the implementation of legislation on the security of critical information infrastructure in Russia: in the digital industry, it becomes difficult to differentiate information infrastructure objects and classify some of them as critical; not all relevant legal entities have provided information on critical information infrastructure facilities, and therefore the register of facilities was not compiled in full, cyberattacks on which would create dangerous consequences for the country; some subjects of the critical information infrastructure deliberately underestimate the importance of their objects.
