Culture as a Conceptual Vector of Economic Modernization

The article shows that at present the processes of total marketization have spread to the sphere of artistic culture, in which more and more the value of a creator and the results of his activity is evaluated in terms of market and capital. It becomes one of the factors of the economy stagnation that lasts for decades, in particular, in Russia. Meanwhile, the existing experience of modernization in the USSR shows that there is a powerful feedback when culture and, in particular, art, become an important factor and conceptual vector of socio-economic and technological modernization. The means for this can be and have been historically long-term strategic development programs linking together technological, scientific, economic, educational and cultural transformations, mass labor enthusiasm, the inclusion of workers in social creativity and other relations and institutions that transform a person from a passive object (an employee, consumer) into an active creator. The history of the USSR gives contradictory examples of such relations formation (the GOELRO plan, etc.).

Features of inclusive and sustainable industrial development

При разработке «Повестки дня в области устойчивого развития на период до 2030 года» международное сообщество осознало, что для решения проблемы глобальной нищеты необходима новая парадигма развития. В статье показано, что, расширяя прежний уровень участия в универсальной, трансформирующей и интегрированной повестке дня, применяются новые подходы для ускорения прогресса, отражается взаимосвязь современных экономик, отраслей, обществ и природной среды, а также признается важность инклюзивного и устойчивого промышленного развития для искоренения нищеты. Достижение устойчивого промышленного развития затрудняется компромиссами в пользу экономического роста, что может повлиять на цели в области устойчивого развития, принятые государствами-членами ООН. В этом контексте в статье рассматривается вопрос: что означает инклюзивное и устойчивое промышленное развитие и в какой степени оно влияет при разработке стратегий развития государства? В статье делается вывод о том, что инклюзивный и устойчивый, экономический, промышленный рост может содействовать улучшению жизни населения развивающихся государств. Индустриализация государства и технологическая модернизация промышленного комплекса должна положительно влиять на благосостояние людей и организаций. In developing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the international community realized that a new development paradigm was needed to tackle global poverty. The article shows that expanding the previous level of participation in the resulting universal, transforming and integrated agenda, new approaches are used to accelerate progress, the interconnectedness of today's economies, industries, societies and the environment is reflected, and the importance of inclusive and sustainable industrial development for eradication is recognized poverty. Achieving sustainable industrial development is hampered by trade-offs in favor of economic growth, which may affect the sustainable development goals adopted by UN member states. In this context, the article considers the question: what does inclusive and sustainable industrial development mean and to what extent does it influence the development of state development strategies. The article concludes that inclusive and sustainable economic, industrial growth can contribute to improving the lives of people in developing countries. Industrialization of the state and technological modernization of the industrial complex should positively affect the well-being of people and organizations.

Strategic landmarks for modernization of industrial enterprises of Russia

In the age of technological and social transformation aimed at establishing basic principles of implementing state economic policy under the challenges of the 4th industrial revolution the role of modernization process in the Russian industry is increasing. The authors justify strategic landmarks for technological modernization of industrial enterprises of Russia. To this end they made comparative analysis of innovation and technological, economic development of a number of countries and Russian Federation as well as estimated the preparedness of certain world countries to transformations in economics caused by changes of technological patterns during the 4th industrial revolution. It has been stated that Russian Federation has structural disproportions slowing down economic development of the country. It also demonstrates the need for performing structural transformations to carry out disruptive development and achieve global leadership. At present there is no single methodology of controlling disruptive development in transformation conditions caused by the need for reindustrialization and digitalization of the country’s economy. Besides, there are not any projects on creating a set of theoretical and practical tools adapted to the Russian institutional specificity aimed at increasing strategic technological competitiveness of the industrial complex and achieving global technological leadership including justification of the practicability of technological modernization of industrial enterprises which would take into account the specificity of the modern stage of the Russian economics’ development. So, the authors have conducted research to reveal the essence of the technological modernization of industrial enterprises by means of grouping basic approaches to this definition. As a result they also suggested classification of the basic types of strategies for technological modernization at the national enterprises.

Platformization of institutional interactions in the context of stimulating innovations in industry

The study of theoretical approaches and conceptual analysis helped to clarify the definition of “platformization” from the point of view of network interactions and technological modernization of Russian industry, which formed the basis for the model of institutional interactions platformization, based on the formation of technological alliances that promote innovations, joint value creation by network participants and breakthrough industrial development. On the basis of the dynamic approach, a matrix of positioning of the subjects of the Russian Federation has been constructed, reflecting their distribution in four quadrants, depending on the level and pace of innovative development, and allowing to identify a low share of regions, the regions that demonstrate an intensive increase in innovation activity together with a high rating and a high share of regions that are considered stable weak innovators. The definition of platformization has been formulated in the context of technological development of industry, which distinguishes the use of this category from the “digital” aspect presented in the literature.

The formation of a new ecosystem of the fishery industry of Russia in modern conditions

В последние годы в России перестал расти объем добычи водных биоресурсов, слабо развиваются частное предпринимательство и процессы цифровой трансформации в РХК. Пандемия COVID-19 ускорила необходимость использования цифрового экосистемного подхода в организации деятельности РХК. Предлагается проводить цифровую трансформацию РХК конгруэнтно с созданием новых технологий глубокой переработки водных биоресурсов и развитием рециклинга. Процесс технологической модернизации РХК необходимо выстраивать с учетом ранжированной системы ценностей: Человек – Общество – Природа – Технологии – Экономика. Он отличается человекоцентричностью создаваемой цифровой экосистемы РХК и способен дать синергетический эффект. Представлен алгоритм жизненного цикла новой продукции в контексте государственно-частного партнерства. Предлагаемый подход позволит повысить производство Hi – Tech продукции с обеспечением устойчивого развития РХК и экономики приморских регионов России. In recent years, the volume of the extraction of aquatic biological resources in Russia has ceased to grow, private entrepreneurship and digital transformation processes in the fishery industry are underdeveloped. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the need to use a digital ecosystem approach in organizing the activities of the fishery industry. It is proposed to carry out the digital transformation of the fishery industry congruently with the creation of the new technologies for deep processing of aquatic biological resources and the development of recycling. The process of technological modernization of the fishery industry should be built taking into account the ranked system of values: Man - Society - Nature - Technology - Economy. It is distinguished by the human-centricity of the created digital ecosystem of the fishery industry and is able to give a synergistic effect. The algorithm of the lifecycle of new products in the context of public-private partnership is presented. The proposed approach will increase the production of Hi-Tech products with ensuring the sustainable development of the fishery industry and the economy of the coastal regions of Russia.
