Analysis of the state and development prospects of the ICT market in Russia

Over the past decades, the information and communication technology (ICT) sector has become one of the fastest growing segments of the world economy, maintaining the reputation of an industry subject to dynamic, continuous and dramatic changes. The significant expansion of international trade in ICT products is becoming an important trend in the global economy as a whole. Taking into account the fact that the policy of the Russian Federation in the field of ICT is taking shape at a qualitatively new economic, political and social levels, in the context of scientific and technological changes, our state has every chance of getting high positions in the ratings of the leading countries of the world innovation system. However, as a result of market reforms in Russia, special features of development have emerged that differ both from the old Soviet system and from the new one borrowed from Western countries. This was manifested in the deterioration of the values of certain indicators, for example, characterizing the outflow of highly qualified specialists. In addition to the above, active integration into globalization processes requires Russia to have its own advanced technologies as a significant factor in ensuring competitive advantages. The supply of domestic modern technologies in the world market determines not only the dynamics of world trade, but also the level of development of the state itself. As a result, in order to solve the set task of establishing the production of high-tech products for subsequent import substitution and further entering the world market, it is necessary to determine promising directions and competitive advantages of Russia by identifying the features of the domestic ICT market.

Book Review

This is a review of a book that discusses knowledge discovery using data mining and knowledge embedding through models. A number of scheme are reported in the book to explain how data mining and discovered embedded knowledge can be beneficial to social organizations, domestic sphere and ICT market. Each chapter of the book presents a unique problem of data mining philosophies from an embedded point of view. It will help researchers to understand the current status of big data mining and embedded knowledge, discover new research opportunities and gain more information about this field.

The Study of Genetic Type Steganographic Models to Increase Noise Immunity of IoT Systems

Research and development in the field of the Internet of Things, or more generally M2M systems security, is the subject of daily discussion in the ICT market. With the rapid development of intelligent devices, the necessity of valuable information protection has generated many new methods and technologies. Stegoimages, along with genetic algorithms (GA), are a relatively new object in the field of information hiding. The assumption that their application can significantly improve the noise-resistant properties of stegofiles is justified by the properties of the GA, but it is a subject for detailed study, since in such an application the GA has not yet been considered. The proposed method is based on genetic coding that hides messages between Internet of Things devices and is capable of detecting both internal and external attacks in the intellectual infrastructure. A sufficiently high efficiency of preliminary GA coding is shown for objects such as hiding graphic information in a graphic stegocontainer.

Impact of Diversification on Performance of Top Indian ICT Outsourcing Firms: An Entropy Analysis

Indian outsourcing industry undeterred by recent plummeting growth of global ICT market is experiencing robust growth. Indian ICT firms, by and large, follow success breed success formula by replicating the strategies adopted by the leaders in the market. Two top Indian ICT outsourcing firms have adopted diversification strategy to expand their presence in multiple industry verticals across geographies by offering a diversified range of services. This study, using an entropy analysis, measures the degree of diversification of the top two and most successful Indian outsourcing firm in five different dimensions. The second part of the study analyzes the overall impact of diversification on the performance of the firm. This study reveals that although overall diversification signifies a positive impact on the firm performance, each dimension leaves a different impact on the different firms’ performance.

MARKETING OF TELECOMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES: WORLD AND NATIONAL DIMENSIONS

Introduction. The development of the information and communication technologies (ICT) market creates the conditions for further growth of other sectors of the economy. ICT companies provide companies, individuals and government with software, Internet, mobile and fixed communications, and so on. The purpose of the article is to study the current state of the ICT market in the world and in Ukraine, to identify major trends and threats for further development of the ICT market. Results. The ICT market is one of the largest dynamically developing markets in the world. Research conducted by leading consulting companies in the world shows that after 2020, the market can grow from 13 to 33 trillion and the blockchain market to 3.1 trillion $. International Data Corporation emphasizes that digital technologies and solutions can reach 60% of global GDP by the end of 2022. The world leader in the number of ICT corporations is the United States, with headquarters of the 65 world's largest companies, 20 in China, Taiwan - 17, Japan - 14, South Korea - 6, India - 5 companies. The IT services market accounts for 0,5% of the global IT services market. In Ukraine there are 125 registered self-employed individuals that are used by large companies to optimize their tax burden. Income of such American ICT companies such as Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft significantly exceeds the size of the state budget of Ukraine, and part of the revenues from the ICT market occupies only 4,5% of GDP, which is clearly insufficient and is evidence of an economic development lag. Conclusions. The imperfection of domestic legislation, the lack of incentives for ICT organizations, the possibility to monopolize the market, the insecurity of the interests of individuals and private companies do not stimulate foreign investments in this sector of the economy. In spite of this, Ukraine has a great potential for its growth, for which it is necessary to develop a national concept and model for the development of the ICT market, to restrain the departure of specialists abroad, to ensure the implementation of the business-state partnership strategy, etc. Keywords: telecommunications market, IT market, telecommunications market and IT services, marketing research, investments, ICT companies.
