Nowadays, there is no consensus that digitalization is a threat to business security or an opportunity to comprehensively manage the entire chain of business processes in real time, taking into account incoming data from all assets. However, political and economic instability, demand volatility, and competition are all a set of global challenges that digital transformation has responded to. In industry, the competitive advantage has become not the ownership of the enterprise, the firm, but access to digital technology, on which the efficiency of work with specific resources depends.

Today digital economic environment penetrates deeply in different spheres and industries of economy. Now doubt that digital transformations deal not only with outer environment of company functioning but also with their internal business-processes. The outer elements of digital transformation include such business-spaces, which in their essence were born as global, i. e. they are not connected with geographical location or specific segment of buying audience. We mean the development of the so-called digital platforms – ecosystems of digital business, where participants of different profiles or lines of commercial activity can be present, such as logistics, production, finance, marketing, sales, etc. Due to active emergence of outer aspects of digital transformation internal businessprocesses in such digital spaces are also subjected to transformations. These transformations in some cases are inevitable because of rising competition among companies inside one industry on the level of product range being sold and among related industries on the level of services that determine the company value for customers. In the digital business environment classical process approach undergoes serious changes due to transformation of business-models of business running, altered information opportunities, emergence of new digital competences of experts and technological breakthrough. The goal of the research is to develop a competence model of manager for decision-making in conditions of digital environment with regard to factors influencing the process of decisionmaking and advanced methodologies of management, such as Agile.

The management mechanism of gas distribution organizations is one of the most important factors in the development of the company and the gas industry of the country as a whole. This is due to the fact that the management mechanism affects the deepest foundations of the company’s economic activity, determining the process of sustainable economic growth and development potential of both an individual company and the industry as a whole. Moreover, in essence, this process is a complex and controversial phenomenon, which inevitably entails the need for digitalization. Digital transformation is a radical change, the transition to a balanced approach in optimizing management systems. Today, the problems of rational choice, the search for optimal digital technologies and the construction of an effective digitalization strategy, of course, are becoming increasingly relevant and significant, especially for gas companies. Digitalization in the modern world forces successful enterprises in different sectors of the economic cycle to rethink how companies carry out their business processes, what management methods and models are used, how modern IT systems are created, arranged and work. In 2019, numerous studies were conducted on the impact of digitalization on the business environment, during which negative indicators were revealed of promising companies that ignore digital innovations, which halves revenue growth and reduces profit growth by a third. In the article, we will consider the Russian digital transformation of the gas industry on the management model of gas distribution organizations. Let us evaluate the state of development of the information society, digital projects being implemented at the state level, promising development trends and the comprehensive framework of the digital gas distribution enterprise as a whole.

Introduction. International business has big differences compared to business based within a certain country. The same principles which are used by national companies to ensure business processes in a particular country cannot be fully applied in international business. With this in mind, the study and analysis of the peculiarities of international business are necessary tasks. Many foreign and domestic scientists studied the process of development of international business in the context of globalization in their works, such as D. Johnson, K. Turner, S. Robock, S. Mocherny, S. Fomishin, EG Panchenko et. al. The purpose of the paper is to study the peculiarities of the development of international business in the context of globalization. Results. In recent years, the growth of international business has been impressive. This rapid development was influenced by two main reasons: the strategic goals of companies that contribute to the process of globalization, as well as the changing business environment. The processes of globalization and internationalization contribute to increased competition in international markets and cause certain structural changes in the external environment. Conclusion. Thus, globalization is a large-scale and multifaceted process that is developing quite rapidly. International business in the context of globalization is influenced by many factors, including: increasing the dependence of economies of different countries, the creation of transnational corporations, strengthening the competitiveness of the state in the world market, as well as the development of international institutions and membership in international organizations.

The article deals with topical issues of providing the innovative development of a business organization in the context of its digital transformation. The article aims at studying the essence and role of digital tools in the innovative development of a business organization. Having based the research on a comparative analysis of various interpretations of digital transformation in the modern economic literature, the authors identify the main areas of its influence: digital transformation of society, business environment, employees, and business activities. The connection between digital transformation and the innovative development of a business organization has been analyzed. It has been found out that, on the one hand, digital transformation is a prerequisite for innovative development of a business organization; and on the other hand, an innovative business organization can be both the generator and ambassador of digital transformation promotion. It has been determined that the innovative development of a business organization depends on such digital components as digitalization of employees, business processes, and management. The following digital tools of innovative development of a business organization have been described: digital workplace, communication facilities, document flow, and intelligence system. It has been established that the main factors hindering the «digital well-being» in business organizations are the following: the managers’ ignorance, excessive conservatism, excessive bureaucratization, the presence of a «technological gap» and lack of resources. Promising areas for further research in this area are the development of new digital tools that would complement the list of the existing ones, and the improvement of the mechanisms for their implementation.

Over the last two decades, the digital era and the fourth digital revolution have led to a rapid increase in the influence that digital technologies have on all aspects of life. Rapid development and diffusion of technological innovations altered the business environment, additionally accelerating the dynamics of market changes through permeating globalisation and ever stronger competition. In such digital ecosystem, product life cycles became extremely short, while consumers became more demanding and their behaviour more volatile. Compelled by such business reality, organisations are forced to continuously adapt and digitally transform their business. The aim of this paper is to identify and systemise critical success factors of attaining purposeful digital transformation by means of a literature review. The paper details the results of the conducted theoretical research, which may serve organisations as guidelines on their challenging paths to digital transformation and assist them in avoiding potential traps and mitigating risks associated with inadequate application of digital technology.
