Digital Economy as a Factor of Sustainable Development of the RNO- Alania

Abstract

: The development of the regional economy requires a wide spread of information technologies. The article deals with the main approaches to the concept of digitalization of the economy, the features of digitalization in different industries are considered. A comparison of the degree of digitalization of the economy of the RNO-Alania is presented. The advantages are reflected, as well as an analysis is carried out, as a result of which the significance of the digitalization process and its role in the economy are revealed, since digital technologies, being introduced into economic and technological processes, necessarily participate in the formation of the added value of the final product (service), regardless of its purpose (type of activity and sector of the economy). The study provides recommendations for removing existing obstacles and restrictions for the creation and development of high-tech businesses in the Russian Federation, because information and communication products produced in the ICT sector, in each type of activity, develop, implement and use their own ICT solutions, «digital personnel» and «digital capital», which are not directly taken into account and are not measured. In this regard, there is a need to improve approaches to assessing and measuring the volume of the digital economy at different territorial levels, including in regional economies.
