Identification of Prospective Managerial Decisions on the Basis of a Cognitive Model of Links between Indicators of Development of the Information Society (p. 138 - 143)
The goal of the article is construction of a cognitive model of the scorecard of information society development with consideration of inter-sector interaction as one of aspects of the said process. Also on the basis of analysis of indicators in the model it is necessary to identify the most prospective directions of managerial decisions on development of the information society. Analysis of developments of Ukrainian and foreign scientists, experience of international organisations, assessing development of the information society, testifies to the fact that despite the wide variety of approaches to assessment of development of the information society none from existing scorecards contains a unit directly concerning the inter-sector interaction as an aspect of civil society development and, consequently, information society. As a result of the study the article builds a scorecard of development of the information society, which includes the unit of indicators of assessment of inter-sector interaction. The article forms a cognitive model of the said scorecard and analyses links between the indicators. Based on the analysis of links with the help of the method of pulsed processes the article identifies forecasts of impacts of controlling parameters (impulses) on controlled parameters (objects) for the period until 2014. Conclusions are made with respect to prospectiveness of managerial decisions on development of the information society at the state level and the top priority directions of impact are identified. The prospect of further studies in this direction is building the forecast of impact of controlling parameters (impulses) on controlled parameters (objects) with consideration of their initial non-zero values and different rate of change of these values.

Forms of Information Efficiency of the Financial Market (p. 130 - 135)
The goal of the article lies in the study of forms of efficient information support of functioning of the financial market. Analysing, systemising and generalising scientific works of many scientists, the article considers the financial market as a system phenomenon. The article offers, by analogy with technical sciences, a market model that consists of the servicing system (in the form of information) and support system (waiting of participants), combination of which makes the management system. Information in this model is the main driving force: it is at the inlet of the system, is transformed into participants waiting inside the system, and arrives to the outlet as the price of the financial asset. This movement is continuous and, consequently, market efficiency depends on information and degree of its perception by the market. The article characterises three hypotheses about forms of market efficiency, identifies their advantages and shortcomings from the position of fundamental and technical analysis, and provides a practical example of assessment of information in the quasi-strong form of information efficiency of the market. The article identifies the reasons, pursuant to which, while market participants have similar information, each might or might not obtain income from its use. The prospect of further studies in this direction is identification of the degree of information efficiency of the domestic market, volume, quality and needs in a certain range of information, which influences price formation of financial assets that circulate in the market.

Methodological Problems of Collection and Analysis of Confidential Information Leakage (p. 106 - 112)
The article studies methodological problems of collection and analysis of confidential information leakages in Ukraine and in the world. In particular, the article analyses specific features of the methodology of collection and analysis of information about leakages of various analytical structures of the world IT industry, graphically proves availability of a certain gap between data of these structures by the number of leakages, and also presents dynamics of confidential information leakages in various branches of economy in the world, and also USA and Russia, with a brief analysis of the situation in the sphere of protection of information and state of information security in these countries. The author holds that, as of today, there is no common approach to collection and analysis of reasons and types of confidential information leakages, in the result of which it is impossible to compare results of studies of different analytical companies of the IT industry and make a conclusion about their authenticity. As a rule, any company uses, when collecting and analysing confidential data leakages, own methodology, selects leakages on its own discretion and tries to solve only those problems, which arose as a result of the use of in-house software. Incomparability of the obtained results due to absence of general indicators and methodology of collection and analysis of leakages complicates the process of making efficient decisions in the system of protection of information and information security.

Optimizing Losses in the Management of Information Expences of Processing Enterprise (p. 336 - 341)
The article is aimed at studying the information losses as an economic category and searching the model, which will help to reduce their level to a minimum. Analysis of literature on the subject has shown that scientists are more concerned about losses relating to risks related to function of information system, where the media are technical devices, although much of the work to receive, process, and distribute information is carried out by staff of the enterprise or by third parties (in the case of using the outsourcing). During the study the notion of «information losses» has been determined as decrease of information asset without adding the end product value, or reduce of the professional level of staff, due to intentional or unforeseen events. Information risks and the losses associated with them can be divided into transformational, where information is available within the enterprise for own use or for sale, and transactional, which most often arise in case when executives prefer to buy products and services of the information market, taking advantage of the benefits of outsourcing. Losses can be significant because of the hidden actions of economic agents and the related moral hazard, high probability of adverse selection and corruption, therefore has been proposed to minimize them through finding the optimum ratio of insourcing and outsourcing information costs, as well as formation and appropriate filling of information infrastructure. As to further researches it will be interesting to study the human factor in occurrence of information risks under the current institutional environment and to find ways to reduce them by forming the appropriate corporate culture.

The author proposes a decision-making mechanism, based on close interaction between the modeling module, knowledge base, and databases, using which one can generate recommendations concerning the movement of one or another unit, which participates in the process of converter production of steel. On the basis of her own experience of developing the alike systems, the author proposes a group data processing, suggesting use of a personal interface for each category of users, which will attract the main participants in the production process to decision-making, collective formulation of new ideas. It is specified that improvement of efficiency of functioning of economic objects is possible, first of all, by means of a competent application and further perfection of information systems.

Remote Employment: Precondition, Form of Manifestation and Consequences of the Development of the Digital Economy (p. 165 - 171)
The author considers telecomputing as one of the leading forms of virtual employment, emergence of which is facilitated by the following flexible forms of employment: freelancing, zero contract, mini-work, as well as appropriate forms of borrowing of personnel: outstaffing, temporary staffing, staff leasing, outsourcing. It is identified that these forms of labor force recruitment lead directly to the formation of remote labor relations because of their flexibility or partiality. These workers feel more comfortable working remotely. It is determined that distance employment is the basis for reducing the cost of renting office, setting up a working place, utility bills, etc. It is proved that distance employment determines the enhanced performance by saving time on transfers and better time management on the part of workers. Freeing up time and an optimal time distribution according to the worker’s own flexible schedule allows reducing the worker costs. It is substantiated that the efficiency of remote employment leads to the emergence of new organizational structures: virtual organizations, electronic enterprises, electronic governments. There comes a virtualization of the work of individual labor collectives, which generally refuse to maintain offices. Within the framework of the e-government conception, there is a remotization of labor services, taking place on a public scale. It is displayed that virtualization nowadays targets not only business entities or the government, but also certain sectors of the economy that can be subject to it. According to the author, the propensity of industries to remote employment depends on two aspects. First, to what extent digital technologies are used in the production of a particular industry. Secondly, how much the results of labor in a certain area can be digitized and sent remotely to the customer. Thus, virtual employment leads to the deployment of the digital economy, as it is based on the use of telecommunication technologies. Remote employment volumes serve as a certain criterion for the digitalization of the economy.

Transformation of Shadow Economy in the Sphere of Online Activities (p. 280 - 288)
The article is aimed at researching the directions and features of the transformation of Ukraine’s shadow economy in the sphere of online activities. The general tendencies of its development are defined on the basis of different approaches and methodologies to determine the level of shadowing of the national economy (the Putnins and Sauka methodology - sample survey of enterprises using the micro-macro modeling approach); methodologies of calculating the volume of the shaded economic activity (integral indicator of the level of the shadow economy, «population expenditures - retail turnover»; unprofitability of enterprises, electric and monetary methods), as well as the volume of budget losses from various tax abuses. It is determined that although there are some differences between the results of the research using these methods, all of them confirm the fact that Ukraine has a huge shadow sector. It is proved that over the past decade the sphere of shady relations has significantly expanded, spreading to the online environment. Today, shadow activities are carried out through the Internet, covering areas of the real economy, such as gambling business, fast credits to the population, trade in alcohol, tobacco and narcotics.

Features of Competition in the Context of Digitalization of the Economy (p. 253 - 259)
Dynamic changes in the market bases of the economy under the influence of digital technologies are displayed. Logistics, minimizing transaction costs, speeding up the process of circulation are the benefits that the digital economy brings. All these factors coexist with a number of serious threats. Digital formalization and desocialization of economic activity, concentration of information power and increased consumer manipulation lead to a fundamental social uncertainty. Institutional changes are supposed to remove growing uncertainty and risks by ensuring the safety and freedom of consumer choice. The changes in the list of the world’s largest companies by capitalization since 2008 illustrate the growing importance of the high-tech industry on a global scale. The article shows the tendencies of formation of the market imbalances in the market shares of players in certain areas of the digital economy, and provides examples of expanding the scope of presence through the acquisition of smaller start-ups with significant innovative potential. Removing the uncertainty of socio-economic development as well as reducing gaps due to incomes or education lies in the plane of social control on the part of society over the dynamic technological and economic changes. Only a mature society is able to form the quality of the institutional environment in which it becomes possible: firstly, to extract the maximum result from modern technologies; secondly, to distribute it on the fair basis; thirdly, to keep a person’s habitat comfortable for his life. The digital economy should serve human development and well-being, not virtualize a human and subdue him the newest technology. Formation of new institutional mechanisms to counter unfair competition were needed, which would be the prospect of further research into the problem.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Introduction of Digital Technologies by International Business (p. 227 - 232)
The article is aimed at analyzing the peculiarities of the introduction of digital technologies by the international business in the conditions of COVID-19. Based on the analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on the introduction of digital technologies by the international business, the authors concluded that the crisis, on the one hand, slowed down the financing of some investment projects, but, on the other hand, it stimulated the implementation of projects related to the digitalization of international business (5G, start-up factories, the Internet of Things, robotics and blockchain). There was an increase in financing for projects related to remote work, virtual cooperation instruments, mobile devices, security programs. In the long term, COVID-19 will exacerbate the problem of digital gap between both countries and businesses and among the population. It is concluded that the Big Tech’s digital innovations increase the profitability of tech giants, and flows of cheap liquidity (as a means of countering COVID-19) lead to the formation of a new bubble in the market (P/E is close to 75). After the pandemic, traditional business will resume, but the digital gap will increase and remain a major economic and social problem. To solve these problems, it is imperative to improve the State-based regulation.

The article focuses on the urgent problem of analyzing the possibilities of using information and communication technologies (ICT) during the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, the main directions of ICT implementation are outlined to mitigate the negative impact and counteract COVID-19; measures aimed at increasing the availability of digital life for Ukrainian society are proposed. It is concluded that enterprises that actively use and implement cases of digital transformation were more ready for coronavirus reality than those that perceived digitalization critically. The article analyzes the «digital» response of the leading countries of the world to solve problems related to the spread and neutralization of negative consequences from COVID-19. The carried out analysis allows to state that most countries have made significant efforts to inform the population about coronavirus disease, while in Ukraine the informing of citizens was insufficiently prompt and timely, and measures require careful planning and support from public authorities. The authors propose measures aimed at mitigating the negative impact and counteracting COVID-19, which provides for the following steps: making national strategic decisions to optimize results as a follow-up of the current global COVID-19 pandemic; further support at the State level of national, regional competition programs for the development of IT startups aimed at mitigating the negative consequences of COVID-19; organization of online hackathons to find digital solutions to counter pandemics; development of regulatory levers of the State support for domestic enterprises that implement IT tools; organization of the State-controlled educational projects to increase the level of digital literacy of Ukrainian society.

Transformation of the Information Services Market in the Context of Digital Economy (p. 112 - 118)
The article is aimed at determining the features of transformation of the information services market in the context of digital economy. The main segments of the information market are allocated as follows: 1) business information (exchange and financial information; economic and statistical information; commercial information); 2) professional information (occupational information for specific professional groups; scientific and technical information; access to primary sources, which is organized through libraries and other archival services); 3) consumer information (literature, music, news; information on the operation of infrastructure facilities; entertainment information); 4) educational services (preschool, school, special, higher, dual, advanced training, informal); 5) provision systems (computers, telecommunication equipment, computer programming, consulting and providing information services on various aspects of the information industry). Based on the analysis of the transformation of the information services market in the digital economy, a conclusion was drawn about the controversial impact of information technologies (artificial intelligence, BigData, blockchain, etc.) on the institutional structure of the information services market. On the one hand, the institutional structure becomes more complicated and business profitability increases, but on the other hand, monopolization takes place and the manipulativeness of the information market increases as well, which causes a potentially unstable environment with a high level of uncertainty and transaction costs. It is noted that the mass proliferation of transactional external effects influences the state of the market’s information security and creates institutional provision of the neutralization of the negative impact of new digital technologies. Increasing the competitiveness of information services is ensured by combining low costs of providing the personalized services, easy scalability of business as a result of direct interaction between producers and consumers in the process of collecting and analyzing unstructured and unsystematic information.

Creating a Сatalog of IT Services of Universities Based on ITIL Standards (p. 72 - 80)
In today’s information world, the competitiveness of universities is closely related to the effectiveness of the IT services provided. However, the development of IT infrastructure requires maintaining a balance between cost and efficiency of services. An IT service includes information technologies, processes and people. In accordance with ITIL standards, the university’s IT department should move from supporting software, applications, servers and networks to timely providing IT services to end users. The first step to this is to create a catalog of IT services. The purpose of the catalog implementation is to provide a single source of consistent information about all operational services and ensure quick access to them. Unlike foreign universities, domestic higher education institutions do not practice a systematic description of IT services and their presentation through the IT catalog. Direct transfer of management models of foreign universities to the Ukrainian educational environment appears impractical. The publication proposes a three-level catalog model, describes the categories of services that can be provided by Ukrainian universities, and defines the attributes of the IT service description template. The attributes of the description include: name, type of services, brief description, business owner, priority, service owner, consumers, request order, SLA, support system, status/phase. From the moment the IT service catalog is fully formed, its periodic monitoring begins according to the following criteria: SLA validity, correctness of provision of IT services, etc. The publication considers the formation of a catalog by stakeholders of the University on the example of the National University of Water Management and Environmental Management. In general, the use of the suggested recommendations will provide a description of the IT infrastructure of universities in the form of a set of services, the value of which is understandable to stakeholders and university management, as well as will allow to achieve competitive advantages in the educational services market.

The volume of products produced and sold in 2020 is increased by UAH 134.2 billion compared to 2018, and the total amount of taxes paid in 2020 compared to 2017 is increased by UAH 3,569 million. Enterprises of the industry and individual entrepreneurs are profitable: in 2020, an IT specialist accounted for UAH 37,757 of the taxes paid. The choice of taxation system is especially relevant for the IT business of Ukraine. The ability to carry out professional activities as an individual entrepreneur and pay a single tax is an important condition for the development of the domestic IT industry, ensuring the competitiveness of IT specialists in the capital market. At the same time, the application of a simplified tax system is a certain manipulation of the norms of the tax legislation used by IT companies in order to minimize the tax burden. The necessity of development of the domestic IT market is substantiated, the main trends and prospects for the development and optimization of taxation are determined to strengthen the competitiveness of companies in both domestic and global IT markets. The elaboration of transparent principles and rules of taxation will have a positive impact on the development of the domestic IT industry.

Analyzing the Current State and Trends in the Development of Digitalization of Society in Ukraine (p. 128 - 134)
The article is aimed at researching the state and trends in the development of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the course of digitalization of Ukraine. The need to monitor the development of both the ICT and the information society in the development of Ukraine’s information security strategy is substantiated. The author carries out the analysis of dynamics and structure of statistical indicators characterizing revenues from the provision of telecommunication services; of ensuring and using high-speed Internet by government agencies, business and the population; of development of e-commerce and the use of e-democracy instruments by public authorities and local self-government bodies. According to the results of the computation of the Index of Countries’ Readiness for Network Society obtained by the Nomura Research Institute (NRI), Ukraine’s place in the rating together with its neighboring countries was determined by the subgroups «Business» and «Government». It is determined that there is a trend of a consistent positive development of the information society, despite the problems associated with the lack of investment resources and a small level of budget financing, as well as the unsatisfactory pace of implementation of high-speed Internet, the uneven development of ICT in the regions of the country, the insufficient narrowing of the digital gap between cities and rural areas, the shortage of IT specialists, the export orientation of the IT industry. It was concluded that in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is necessary to more intensively implement ICT in remote education, healthcare, provision of administrative online services, intensification of the Internet of Things, etc. It is proposed to adapt the national statistical reporting to international requirements in order to identify the equivalent level of digitalization of Ukraine.

The Actualized Development of Information Economy in the Context of Global Transformations (p. 135 - 143)
The purpose of the article is to form scientific and practical aspects of actualization of the development of the information economy in the context of global transformations. According to results of the study, one can say that modern information technologies have come a long way in their development, but they need further improvement. It is already clear that the future, for effective managerial decisions, envisages attraction of not only human capital, but also breakthrough technologies and artificial intelligence. Accordingly, most countries over the world associate their development strategy with the transition to the information economy. The greatest success in the transition to the information economy reached developed countries, including the United States, Germany, France, Great Britain, China, and Japan. Regrettably, Ukraine today occupies a low position in the world rankings regarding indicators influencing the process of actualizing the development of the information economy in the context of global transformations. Although recently in Ukraine there have been infrastructure changes in the direction of computerization and informatization, the degree of their influence both at the domestic level and at the level of corporate sectors is increasing, the number of innovative enterprises is actively growing. The essence of the information economy consists in the formation of elaborate, complex phenomena that are associated with changes in the system of productive forces and social relations directed towards the effective and rational use of information technologies and creative work. Overcoming existing problems will provide an opportunity to actively develop the information economy of Ukraine in the context of global transformations. In general, the policy of development of information economy should be comprehensive and create the necessary conditions for the corresponding transition: economic, legal, and organizational.

Analyzing the State of Information Provision of the Maintenance and Renewal of Aviation Equipment (p. 162 - 172)
The purpose of this article is to examine the possibilities of software products to increase the economic efficiency of maintenance and renewal of aviation equipment – both for airlines and for service organizations, taking into account the corresponding safety requirements. The article defines that the modern market of maintenance and renewal of aviation equipment is extremely competitive and requires the application of special software products. The efficiency of establishing cooperation between all market participants directly depends on the perfection of the software. The software can influence the economic efficiency of airlines and the level of safety of use of aviation equipment. Modern aircraft models also facilitate the introduction of software into the maintenance process, as they contain their own information systems. In general, the development and role of information systems in all types of business is becoming a new reality and has a positive impact on the introduction of information systems in the process of maintenance and renewal of aviation equipment. It is determined that aviation equipment maintenance and renewal is a rather difficult function for automating because of complexity, unpredictability, security and regulation. Replacing the entire maintenance and renewal systems means cleaning up old data and overhauling processes that is not easy on the part of many repair businesses and units. But new generation aircrafts, data management and economic pressures continue to require more powerful IT systems. Thus, enterprises are forced to introduce new approaches to maintenance and renewal of aviation equipment in order to remain competitive.

The Risk-Oriented System of Financial Provision in the Conditions of Information Technology Development (p. 172 - 178)
The publication considers the main features of the development of the modern information space and the formation of information technologies, which today are being directly combined with the formation of a risk-oriented system of financial provision. The role of information technologies in society is constant and incessantly extends to further areas of application – science, education, business, transport, communication, public administration, defense, political life, culture, everyday life, etc. However, at the methodological level, some questions arise regarding the identification and adaptation of potential information technologies to ensure positive economic development. An important influence on the development of the world market of IT technology is carried out by non-governmental organizations, in particular, associations of national associations of IT companies – the World Alliance of Information Technologies and Services, as well as others. Thus, the permanent deployment of scientific and technical progress and the impact of globalization on the IT industry determine the need to improve the mechanisms of economic, organizational and legal regulation of the global information technology market. In this direction, the universality of regulatory economic and legal norms of the world IT industry does not always work when used by a separate country as market participant due to the imperfection of its national legislative framework together with the economic and organizational regulators in the information base. At this, the countries that join the process of harmonizing their economic and legal IT regulatory mechanisms with the world standards must implement three important groups of measures: 1) measures in the sphere of information services development, 2) measures for the development of information technologies as such; 3) measures to protect and provision producers of IT products and services. Risk-oriented management in the process of ensuring the development and implementation of information technologies for the enterprise is aimed at ensuring the implementation of the company’s strategy and its sustainable development with integration into business processes and managerial decision-making. The above-described directions of integration of a risk-oriented approach into the activities of enterprise make it possible to specify steps to implement this approach with maximum efficiency for an economic entity.

Precisely the active development of the e-business sphere actualizes the issue of conducting new research in this direction. The article is aimed at deepening the theoretical provisions of the functioning and development of e-business within the system of the national economy of the country. The article considers the essence of the category of «e-business» and proposes to treat such a consideration as follows: e-business is economic activity, which is carried out primarily through the use of modern information technologies for gaining profit. The prerequisites for creating an e-business as a type of entrepreneurial activity are also described. The complexity of detailing the types of economic activity, which today can be attributed to e-business, is substantiated. This is based upon the constant expansion of new directions that arise as result of the active use of information technologies by entrepreneurs in their activities. Several types of entrepreneurial activity are distinguished, which should be attributed to the sphere of e-business. For this purpose, the analysis of the approaches available in the scientific literature to distinguish the basic directions of economic activity in the e-business system is carried out. The results of this analysis allowed to determine the following areas of business under research: e-marketing, e-commerce, e-banking, electronic insurance services, online trading, electronic payments, e-consulting, e-education, e-healthcare, e-commerce, e-recruiting, online auctioning, marketplace, electronic logistics. The content of the outlined types of business is also defined.

The Role of e-Business in the Development of the National Economy (p. 66 - 71)
The introduction of modern information and digital technologies gradually changes the conditions for the functioning of society, affecting virtually all aspects of its development. E-business as a direction of economic activity today is actively developing all over the world. A special impetus to its development was made by the COVID-19 pandemic and the extremely rapid development of these technologies in the sphere of payments, sales, marketing, etc. Precisely this situation actualizes the issue of in-depth study of the peculiarities of the development of e-business, its role in the development of the national economy. The development of e-business is determined by various factors, the main among which is the level of development of information and communication technologies in the country. That is to say their use allows to form new impulses for the development of the national economy, creation of new sectors of the economy, new markets for goods and services. Thus, the article identifies two dimensions of the description of the interaction between the e-business system and the national economy, namely: the measurement of exogenous impact – the impact of e-business on economic processes within the national economy system, and the measurement of endogenous influence – the influence of macroeconomic factors on the development of e-business, its development in an open, stochastic environment where other economic systems operate as well. Taking into account the results obtained, it is determined that the further introduction of information and communication technologies is an inevitable process that will actively take place in the future, which will contribute to the development of e-business, certain sectors of the economy in which these technologies are already actively used for entrepreneurial activity. Accordingly, the role of e-business in the development of the economy will grow, which requires the development of measures to activate economic activity in this sphere.

The Economic Meaning and Types of FinTech Innovations (p. 72 - 78)
The purpose of the article is to deepen the theoretical and applied principles of researching the essence of the concept of «FinTech innovations» and their classification features. According to the results of the research, scientific approaches to understanding the essence of the term FinTech are evaluated. The versatility and varied meaningful load of this term indicates various differences and peculiarities of determining this category in scientific sources. Scholars interpret FinTech as innovative technologies and business models as technology, industry sector, services, etc. Each of the presented definitions shows their main feature, which is that FinTech really cannot work without using digital technologies. We are certain that FinTech is a technology used by financial services to help companies manage financial assets with use of special software, including new applications, apps, and business models. The origin of the term FinTech, which is a relatively new industry not only in Ukraine but also around the world, is also examined. It is determined that in the economic literature this term arose in the early 1990s, when development of the Internet started. FinTech’s growing popularity began in 2008, when the global financial crisis forced financial companies to cut costs. It is determined that the multi-level and multi-dimensional impact of FinTech innovations on the transformation of the financial services market creates the need to conduct the typologization of FinTech on various classification grounds. It is specified that the basis of the classification features of FinTech services should be their division according to the types of financial services they perform (payments, transfers, foreign exchange transactions, loans, savings, lending, insurance, investments, etc.).

E-business as the Most Prospective Form of Enterprise Development During the Globalization Transformations (p. 87 - 92)
Events in the global economy have changed the traditional balance between customer and supplier. Without a well-designed business model, innovators will be able to neither provide nor gain value from their innovations. Globalization takes on a different dimension in business. In particular, changes in the external environment have a big impact on the further development and competitiveness of enterprise. This is especially relevant for online trading companies, where creating revenue streams often causes the most inconvenience due to the customers’ expectations that basic services should be free. The business community has changed radically with the advent of the Internet as a means of communication and commerce. The Internet is forcing many companies to rethink their distribution strategies, if not all business models. The Internet can be used as an additional channel through which enterprises communicate and trade with customers (business-consumer, B2C), as well as with suppliers and partners (business-business, B2B). The Internet and related technologies such as intranet and extranet also help organizations improve the efficiency of their internal processes. From a business perspective, the Internet has had a profound impact on how firms operate, how they communicate with other firms, what products they produce, how they deliver products and services, and how they seek competitive advantage. E-business differs in volume and type of activity. The entire supply chain of many industries has been radically changed with the development of the Internet and related technologies. Now most organizations have a website that is used to promote business activities or market their products and services. More and more traditional firms are creating their own websites for e-business and e-commerce and offering an additional sales channel for their customers. The development and maintenance of network infrastructure is an important industry branch for ensuring high-quality access to Internet services and represents one of the largest and most complex organizations in the world.

Modern HR Technologies for Business (p. 114 - 122)
The article is aimed at studying existing HR technologies and their improvements based on artificial intelligence technologies, augmented reality, cloud services, etc. In this regard, in the context of rapid changes in the digital age, there is a need to revise the rules of doing business, because new management models are entering the competition, ensuring productivity, innovation, flexibility and adaptability, while the basis for such reincarnation is the transformation of human resources. The article considers, studies and analyzes the modern approach to the introduction of new technologies in the business processes of companies. One of the options for solving this issue may be to revise the paradigm of doing business – the transformation of a traditional company into a technological one. As result of the study, the digitalization of business is analyzed, in particular, innovative ways of enterprise development are disclosed. Also, a description of modern HR technologies for business, which solve a wide range of tasks and have a number of advantages is made. It is also worth noting that the introduction of information HR technologies requires mastering non-specific, cross-functional competencies grounded on the technical characteristics of the software and the peculiarities of its management. Studies have shown that business will be effective if only human-oriented approaches to personnel management and business processes in general be implemented. The challenge for modern companies is not just to adapt to change, but also to create innovations. Prospects for further research in this direction are powerful opportunities for new technologies that can help organizations become more «human» in this process. That is, they will allow HR professionals to focus on strategic areas and real contact with people, freeing them from repetitive tasks that can be easily performed by the software. Innovation and HR technology are things that don’t really replace humans. Instead, it is technology that helps build valuable connections with employees and create jobs where they can grow professionally.

The Methodological Challenges Concerning the Smart Specialization of Ukrainian Regions (p. 145 - 151)
The article addresses a study of methodological challenges concerning smart specialization of the regions of Ukraine. Within the terms of the preparation of the article, the theoretical and methodological foundations of smart specialization are examined, the discussion provisions of its methodology are distinguished, and its empirical evaluation is provided. Smart specialization is the direction of research in the field of regional economy, the attention of which is on entrepreneurial initiative and synergy of efforts of business and authorities. This approach focuses on practical entrepreneurial efforts without reference to macroeconomic policy. According to the results of the study, it is defined that, though a positive perception of smart specialization prevails amid domestic scholars, the discussed approach to regional development contains a number of methodological challenges, among which is worth noting the unreasonable use of the chosen methodology for calculating indicators to determine innovative activities and preserve the extant specialization of the regions of Ukraine, which remains raw material mainly. According to the results of the empirical analysis of the relationship between the share of regions in the structure of the cost of sold products of key sectors of the economy (industry, agriculture, retail trade) and disposable income per capita – one of the major indicators of socio-economic development – a lack of a strong positive correlation between the region’s specialization in agriculture and the level of income of the population is identified. Instead, a strong positive correlation is present between the volume of industrial products and retail trade in terms of sold articles and the level of disposable income. It is concluded that too much expectations from the impact of agricultural development on the economy of both the country as a whole and individual regions are unreasonable: the intersectoral synergistic effect of agricultural development is inferior to the effect of industrial development, especially when the raw material nature of domestic agricultural production be taken into account. Attention is focused on the discussion nature of the ratio of «sectoral vs. regional development»: the methodology for developing a regional development strategy proposed by European experts requires detailed consideration, extensive debate and careful use in the development of a regional development strategy in Ukraine.

The development of information and communication technologies (ICT) increases its impact on all spheres of socioeconomic activity, stimulates innovative development and contributes to the creation of new jobs. The purpose of this publication is to study the development of the ICT sphere in Ukraine according to international indices and rankings, and to determine the prospects for its development. The methodological basis of the article contains: review of international indices and rankings in the ICT sphere, graphic and statistical analysis. The most significant international rankings and indices that characterize the level of development of the IT sphere in the countries of the world are considered. Conventionally, they were divided into early indices that reflected the level of development of ICT countries in the world in general, and modern indices that largely reflect the development of certain directions of the IT sphere of the countries of the world. Early indices such as Infostate (Orbicom) and ICTOI include information on providing consumers with traditional communication technologies, while ICTDI, DOI already take into account the impact of using more recent communication technologies, i.e., the Internet. All early indices measuring the level of development of ICT of the countries of the world characterize the state of infrastructure development, use of and skills required by ICT in Ukraine as an average that should be improved. Among the modern indices, the structure of indices and the dynamics of values are considered on the example of Ukraine according to: Network Readiness Index (NRI); Global Communication Index (GCI); Inclusive Internet Index (3I-index); IMD World Digital Competitiveness Ranking (WDCR); Global Cybersecurity Index (GCsI); National CyberSecurity Index (NCSI); Global Innovation Index (GII); Global Knowledge Index (GKI). Most of the analyzed international rankings and indices demonstrate the strengthening of Ukraine’s position in the world ICT market in the pre-war years. With significant potential in the ICT sphere along with supporting its growth, we can hope for its rapid recovery and further development.

Transnationalization of Ukrainian IT Companies (p. 40 - 48)
The study is aimed at identifying trends in the world information technology market in the XXI century, determining the features of transnationalization of Ukrainian IT companies. As result of the carried out analysis of factual material, the following were identified among the main trends in the development of the global IT market: investments in research and innovation, using network forms of business organization; rapid digitalization and quarantine restrictions in a global pandemic. As a result of the study, it was noted that Ukrainian IT companies already have clear interests and priorities of functioning in the world market, which is a potential for strategic development of both individual corporations and the State as a whole. The advantages of Ukrainian actors in the IT market in comparison with the nearest competing countries are determined as follows: the largest labor market; the largest number of graduates with IT specialization; Ukraine has 2-4 times less IT specialists per 100 thousand population than the competing countries. This indicates a high potential for expanding employment in the IT field through formal education and retraining (switching). The main IT companies of Ukrainian origin, which have acquired signs of transnational, are characterized. It is substantiated that the IT sphere is the least vulnerable to the devastating consequences in the economy caused by the war, so it can become a breakthrough technology for sustainable economic development of Ukraine. Prospects for further research in this direction are determining the perspectives for creating and evaluating the effectiveness of the functioning of international strategic alliances (ISA) between Ukrainian IT companies and foreign partners. The formation of ISA in the IT sphere makes it possible to change outdated standards adopted in practice and create new ones, as partners openly share their technologies and join forces to defeat their common competitors, and, accordingly, to assist the spread of new trade services (Prozorro, DIIA, E-health, etc.) entering into Ukrainian market.

The Transformation of Living Labor Under the Influence of Digitalization of the Economy (p. 41 - 52)
The purpose of the article is to identify and analyze the signs and features of the transformation of living labor under the influence of digitalization. The article examines the essence of the concept of «transformation of living labor» and the nature of the impact of digitalization of the economy thereupon; the directions of changes in living labor in the conditions of formation of the information and network economy were identified; changes in forms of employment in the context of the formation of the gig economy sector were substantiated; peculiarities of the functioning of digital platforms as a new type of basic economic institution and the scale of the influence of digital technologies on living labor through the prism of changes in the organic capital structure were revealed; the contours of the change in the formation of the cost of labor force as a result of a change in the owners of the means of production were indicated; the essence of digital capital was researched; the multidirectional nature of the processes that form the demand and supply of labor force in Ukraine was studied and substantiated. Based on the theories of transformation of systems and the labor economics, the concept of «transformation of living labor» is defined as changes in social and labor relations that arise in the processes of creating new value and reproduction of labor force. It is proposed to distinguish two levels of research on the transformation of living labor under the influence of digital technologies, namely: common to the economic environment and specific to the labor market, which made it possible to further determine the directions of its changes according to the characteristics of each of them, using the method of abstraction. The theoretical substantiation of changes according to the signs of two levels of transformation of living labor was further developed. For the first level, which defines the determinants of general shifts for the economic environment, it is proposed and substantiated to single out such features as: the transition from an industrial-market to an information-network economy; formation of the gig economy; formation of digital platforms; for the second level, which is specific to the labor market, the signs of transformation processes are as follows: creating conditions for the growth of the organic capital structure; changes in the formation of components of the cost of labor force as a result of a change in the owners of the means of production; formation of digital capital; multidirectional processes that form supply and demand in the labor market. The blocks by which it is advisable to examine the effectiveness of the use of digital platforms, according to the authors, can be: production costs; quality of products, works, services; use of working time; the level and quality of e-commerce; the level of economic relations; quality of access to information.

Digitalization as a Catalyst to Overcome the Negative Consequences of the Pandemic and Martial Law (p. 113 - 120)
The article is aimed at studying the peculiarities of the manifestation of the digital economy during the COVID-19 pandemic and martial law, identifying the impact of digitalization on the prospects for the development of Ukrainian business. The digital economy, the functioning of which is based on the creation, distribution and use of digital technologies and related products and services, is constantly evolving in accordance with new challenges of economic development, which is reflected in the expansion of its architecture. In recent years, the transformation of economic activity models caused by the use of end-to-end digital technologies (artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things, wireless technologies, etc.) has been actualized, which has turned digitalization into the most important factor of economic growth. Digital technologies were used in various spheres of economic activity even before the COVID-19 pandemic, but the latter significantly intensified the digital transformation of business processes. The use of online applications, the provision of online services, the creation of hybrid business models that combine the features of offline and online services, has allowed many economic actors to switch to a remote work format, reducing losses from social distancing and other preventive measures, and some companies have even managed to increase the efficiency of their activities. Improving the efficiency of management and production activities based on digital solutions has turned digitalization from an anti-crisis tool into a source of profitability for companies in the long term. A certain similarity of the challenges caused by the coronavirus crisis and the disruption of the domestic economy as a result of Russian aggression has led to the need to intensify the use of digital technologies by business and the State. A number of measures implemented during martial law by the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine together with other executive bodies create digital preconditions for increasing the resilience of the Ukrainian economy now and in the period of its post-war development.

The Current Trends in the Digitalization of the National Economy of Ukraine (p. 99 - 105)
The development of the digital economy is a complex process of qualitative transformations that take place in different spheres and sectors of the economy, with different dynamics and efficiency, and are accompanied by the active use of modern information and communication technologies. The dynamics of the use of such technologies also determines to a large extent the dynamics of economic development of countries, which actualizes the need for research in the field of digitalization of economic relations, clarification of current trends in the development of the digital economy, including in Ukraine. The article conducts a thorough study of the features of the development of the digital economy in Ukraine. The study is based on the consideration of international rankings of countries that characterize the level of digitalization of states, as well as the conditions in which economic entities can use information and communication technologies. Ukraine’s positions in the following rankings are considered: Digital Competitiveness Ranking; Network Readiness Index; Ranking of countries of the world by the level of Internet freedom; Digital Quality of Life Index. The carried out analysis allows to assert that, in general, in the outlined rankings, Ukraine occupies mediocre places among all countries and is characterized by a rather insignificant level of development of the digital economy. Also, in the article, on the basis of available statistical information on the use of digital technologies by domestic enterprises, an appropriate analysis of their digital activity is carried out. As a result, it was found that in Ukraine by the end of 2021, 86.6% of all enterprises had access to the Internet, 61.8% of enterprises used fixed access, 35.3% of economic entities had their own websites. Thus, analyzing the results obtained, it can be stated that Ukraine is characterized by the gradual development of the digital economy, the drivers of which are primarily individual initiatives of enterprises or public authorities. Despite the penetration of digital technologies into all spheres of life of Ukrainians, the overall development of information and communication technologies in the country remains at an insufficient level. All this requires the development of appropriate measures to intensify such development and ensure its dynamics in the long term.

Digital Technology for a Logistics System: The Main Provisions and Prerequisites for the Formation (p. 105 - 112)
The purpose of writing the article is to study the main provisions and prerequisites for the formation of digital technologies for the logistics systems, the evolution of digitalization processes. The evolution of digital technologies development – from the third industrial revolution (1969) and up to the present day is considered. The development of digital technologies has also influenced the evolution of logistics and supply chain conceptions. The history of the establishing of logistics as a science, the formation of supply chains and the acquisition by the logistics system of the status of «necessary» at the enterprise began in the 1950s and continues to this day. The evolution of logistics and supply chain conceptions is considered. Over time, under the influence of transformation processes, definitions of such concepts as «logistics system», «digital technology», «digital transformation» and many others are formed, implemented and improved, some of these are discussed in the presented article. Based on the analysis of existing formulations, a definition of the essence of the concept of «digital technology for a logistics system» is proposed as such that was not previously considered by scholars. Digital technologies for the logistics systems are information digital technologies, namely: software, robots, devices that perform automated functions of collecting, storing, processing and transmitting information, the introduction of which into the logistics system for managing orders, vehicles, stocks, warehouse resources optimizes the entire process of monitoring activities, helps to reduce fuel and maintenance costs, meet customer needs, increase profits and make business more efficient. The emergence and development of digital technologies for logistics systems is closely connected with the digitalization of all globalization processes. Technological innovation and customer needs for innovative technologies and services are increasingly changing the industry. This transformation significantly affects the direction in which enterprises will move in accordance with new challenges. IT standards are being introduced into industrial automation, devices are becoming more miniature and more functional. Today, the transformation processes of the logistics system are taking on newer forms, so further research on their implementation and development appears very important and relevant.

The Main Obstacles to the Development of Digital Economy Infrastructure in Ukraine (p. 127 - 132)
Today, the national economy is developing in the context of active production and use of information and communication technologies. The experience of foreign countries shows that it is impossible to ensure high-quality development of the national economy without the use of such technologies. Digital technologies create new opportunities for economic entities and help to increase their competitiveness. It is also possible to ensure the active development of the digital economy through the introduction of measures to stimulate the development of its infrastructure. However, the outlined system is complex in its structure, and therefore there is a need to identify the basic obstacles that currently hinder the development of the digital economy. This task is accomplished in the article on the basis of a detailed review of international rankings that summarize the basic trends in the digitalization of society based on the analysis of a significant number of indicators. Such rankings include the digital competitiveness rating of countries and the rating based on the network readiness index. A detailed study of the structure of such ratings and the parameters used to establish them has made it possible to find out that the most critical situation in the development of the digital economy infrastructure in Ukraine remains the regulatory and legal framework, which, according to these rankings, is characterized by low quality and imperfection, especially in the field of ICT. The article also specifies that, in general, in international rankings, Ukraine remains holds a rather mediocre position in terms of the development of the digital economy, ranking at 50th place, which is a low indicator, given the potential of our country in the development of digital technologies. Thus, it has been determined that there is an urgent need to develop systematic and realistic directions for the development of the digital economy infrastructure.

Digital Transformation as a Factor in Changing the Conditions of the Functioning of Entrepreneurship (p. 80 - 90)
The article is aimed at identifying the place and role of digital transformation as a factor and result of changes in the conditions for entrepreneurship activities. The development of the national regulatory framework for regulating the processes of digital transformation of the country’s economy in general and entrepreneurship in particular is considered. It is found that, in general, such a system is multilevel, based on international and national documents, and, despite the obvious imperfections, can be actively applied. The intensification of digital transformations of Ukrainian society and economy began in the last decade with the support of the national executive and legislative authorities, foreign governmental and non-governmental institutions. The role of the Ministry of Digital Transformation and other structures as an initiator, customer, performer and coordinator in the implementation of various projects to create new opportunities for the population and business is characterized. Given the spread of digital platforms as a tool for digital transformation of the economy, platforms to support Ukrainian business are considered. It is determined that the digital transformation of the economy is supported by the population (non-governmental and non-profit organizations, territorial communities) and is implemented by various means, including crowd technologies. Studying the dynamics of preferences of users of the Ukrainian segment of the Internet allows us to talk about both their qualitative changes and the lack of a nationwide platform that would implement all possible models of interaction between business, households and government. The most famous and successful projects of digital transformation of Ukrainian entrepreneurship in various spheres and segments of economic activity are systematized. The features of implemented projects and their problematic aspects are determined. The conclusions verifying the thesis that digital transformation is both a factor in changing the conditions for functioning of entrepreneurship and the result of changes, first of all, in the external environment, are formulated.

Digitalization of Accountance Using the Blockchain Technology (p. 91 - 97)
Intensive promotion of blockchain technologies in public spheres of administration, science, education, economics, finance, medicine, culture and art allows concluding about the prospects for effective implementation of blockchain technologies in accounting and auditing. This conclusion is verified by numerous works of foreign and domestic scholars concerning the use of blockchain for organizing accounting and auditing of a new generation. The article reflects the essence of blockchain technology and describes the process of its implementation in accounting for prepayment to a foreign supplier, which forms a chain of encrypted blocks of transactions in real time, which are carried out between participants directly, which allows to ensure security, fast availability of data and significant speed of transactions. Blockchain technologies in accounting are based on the principles of decentralization, security, irreversibility, and consensus. The article reflects the advantages and disadvantages of using blockchain technologies in accounting. The most important negative factors are significant costs and investments; lack of relevant packages of regulatory documents and standards in Ukraine; lack of qualified specialists who are able to develop, implement and use projects based on blockchain technologies. In addition, the promotion of new technologies based on blockchain must be carried out simultaneously by all interested stakeholders. Therefore, the introduction of blockchain technologies in Ukraine is a laborious and lengthy process, which at present is at the initial stage. Prospects for further research are to study the problem of reforming the national accounting system for the successful adaptation of blockchain technologies.

When analyzing, systematizing and generalizing scientific works of many domestic and foreign scholars, the features of the digital transformation of the enterprise and its impact on the components of the overall system of economic security of the enterprise were considered in detail. As result of the study, the main problems and risks faced by the majority of enterprises in the process of digital transformation were identified and summarized, in particular, the following groups were allocated: technological, operational, managerial, financial and risks to privacy. The negative impact of the novel risks associated with digital transformation on the financial, technological, informational, personnel, and intellectual subsystems of the general system of economic security of enterprise is determined. It is substantiated that the effects of materialization of new risks can be destructive in relation to the activities of the entire economic entity and lead to significant financial, economic and organizational losses of enterprise. The step-by-step risk management in the system of economic security of enterprises undergoing digital transformation has been proposed, which includes: identification and diagnosis of further risks; risk optimization; monitoring of the state of economic security of the enterprise. In order to ensure the normal functioning and also to minimize the effect of negative factors and risks of digital transformation, the following proposals are formed: introduction and use of an integrated automated system of management and rationalization of business processes; use of cloud computing and SaaS solutions; development of necessary materials for staff training; use of new information-communicative and analytical technologies; ensuring investment in the development of digital skills; concluding agreements with technology partners; development of a culture of innovation and adaptability. Prospects for further research in this direction are the definition and quantitative assessment of the impact of digital transformation on the system of economic security of enterprise, as well as the development of approaches to managing a new system of economic security based on the use of the latest technologies of artificial intelligence and digitalization of business processes.

Digital Competences of Human Capital in the Implementation of Digital Strategies of Machine-Building Enterprises (p. 91 - 99)
The aim of the study is to identify the impact of digital competencies of human capital on the formation of enterprise digitalization strategies. The article proposes the division of digital competencies into basic, functional, operational competencies, and competencies of the owner. The strategies of digitalization of enterprises, further divided into strategy of digitalization of business processes, strategy of digitalization of products, strategy of digitalization of enterprise, and strategy of digital outsourcing, have been allocated. In the course of the study, applying the methodology for analyzing priorities, a hierarchy of goals, criteria and alternatives for the formation of digital competencies is built. The dependencies of digital competencies of human capital of machine-building enterprises have been formed with consequent separating the digitalization strategies. A pairwise comparison of criteria is carried out on the principle of assessing the relative importance of one of the criteria relative to the other according to the scale proposed by T. Saaty. The article defines an indicator of random consistency. Based on the above methodology, the corresponding indicators were computed using a pairwise comparison, thus allowing to identify the role of each of the criteria (digital competencies) in the implementation of subcriteria (digitalization strategies). The article specifies that the presence of digital competencies in the owner determines the depth of penetration of digital technologies into the processes of production and economic activity.

The Global Impact of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning on the Efficiency of e-Commerce (p. 114 - 121)
Artificial intelligence and machine learning have had a significant impact on e-commerce, allowing companies to analyze large amounts of data and make managerial decisions more efficiently. These technologies improve customer experience, sales, profitability, and business processes of companies in the industry. The aim of the article is to identify the key challenges for the e-commerce business in the part of artificial intelligence and machine learning with the formation of ways to overcome them. The article examines the key areas of influence of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies on the state of e-commerce. It is noted that e-commerce has a significant weight in today’s global economy, as the global e-commerce market is projected to reach $6.4 trillion by 2024. The article also notes the existing gap between the developed models and their practical application in the industry due to their insufficient understanding by business, high costs and potential bias in the models. It is specified that the widespread use of algorithms can lead to undesirable consequences, i. e., it is extremely important to continue to develop models and create a framework for assessing their value and advantages in practical application. It is observed that ethical considerations are crucial when using artificial intelligence in e-commerce, as advertising personalization practices can violate privacy principles and manipulate customer behavior. An analysis of potential security measures that e-commerce companies can take in response to the risks of new technologies, such as data misuse or privacy breaches, is carried out. The key role of the expert function in the effective adaptation of new technologies in the industry is emphasized. The proposed study can be used in the work of e-commerce market analysts, specialized researchers, business associations, and other industry stakeholders. Prospects for further research involve studying the economic effect of the application of the researched technologies for companies in the field of e-commerce.

Applying the Neuro-Fuzzy Approach to the Development of Digital Entrepreneurship Business Models (p. 121 - 127)
The purpose of this article is to reveal the theoretical and methodological foundations of the development of business models of the entrepreneurial Internet environment using applied recommendations aimed at effective development under conditions of uncertainty. The paper considers the feasibility of using fuzzy logic and an approach to effective modeling of the development of business models of digital entrepreneurship. A typical structure of the system of fuzzy inference, as well as a hierarchical system of fuzzy inference for modeling a fuzzy system of development of business models of the Internet entrepreneurship is provided. Two categories of future uncertain events are identified separately, the occurrence of which will be either favorable for the business model (high profits, achievement of goals, obtaining planned results, and events), or will be unfavorable (risks of losses, lost profits, bankruptcy, etc.). It is specified that quantitative methods for assessing the efficiency of business models of digital entrepreneurship, for example, determining the costs of finding a client, calculating the lifetime value of a client, as well as methods for evaluating efficiency using a sales funnel (an indicator of the number of customers who have moved from the category of potential buyers to the category of real ones), can only predict, control and analyze the main stages of digital entrepreneurship. However, in the situation of uncertainty of the market environment, which can develop into an economic crisis, one of the problems of e-business management is the uncertainty of the initial data and the results obtained, on the basis of which management decisions are made in the future regarding the effectiveness of the development of business models on the Internet. This somewhat complicates the creation of economic and mathematical models allowing to formalize business processes in the company. That is why a new approach – FIB (fuzziness in business) is substantiated, allowing to operate with both precisely specified parameters and characteristics, information about which is vague and based on indistinct, subjective assessments of experts.

The Alternative Scenarios for the Digital Future (p. 127 - 137)
The aim of the article is to study the impact of digitalization on economic, sociocultural and political processes in society, as well as to search for alternative scenarios for the development of digital society. Digitalization today is an effective indicator of the development of society, which provides many people with ease in carrying out their daily activities. The usefulness of digitalization for society today is confirmed in almost all aspects of human life – from production and doing business to communication and mobility. However, in today's society there is no clear understanding of the further development of humanity in the context of rapid technological advances, and there is even more lack of an idea of what the role of a person in the digital world will be. Analyzing this issue, we have worked out a number of versions and views – from scientifically progressive to fantastic-utopian – in order to understand the optimal scenario for the development of digital society. Today, the world has entered the era of Industry 4.0, that is, the era that is based on new technologies. Technologies are increasingly becoming able to replace humans in every field of industry, education, science, and everyday life issues of society. The study showed that today there is no consensus in society about what the future world will look like under the influence of digitalization and the spread of artificial intelligence (AI). This raises the question of the role of man in the light of technological change. In order to find the optimal scenario for the development of humanity in the era of digitalization and the formation of AI, we analyzed the main views that prevail among scientists and in society in general, and singled out our own vision of the role of humans in the era of digitalization. The fundamentals of the theory of technological singularity and transhumanism are analyzed. It is found that the negative consequences of technological progress can be generalized as two major problems. The first is that humans will lose control over technology, because AI will begin to develop on its own so quickly that it will become incomprehensible to humans. The second is a change in global humanistic concepts, at the center of which are a person and the appropriate moral values.

Evaluating the Development of Digitalization at Enterprises of Information and Communication Services of Ukraine (p. 104 - 110)
This article is devoted to the current problems of the development of digitalization at enterprises of information and communication services in Ukraine, providing an assessment of the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the integrative development of the ICT business. Recently, the sphere of information and communication technologies has been one of the most dynamic and developed types of economic activity in Ukraine. This market is a conductor of Ukraine’s entry into the global economic and information space. This, in turn, requires the adoption of balanced and justified management decisions and strategic directions of development, which should be based on clearly defined tasks and means of achieving them on the basis of the use of monitoring and diagnostic tools. It is defined that the development of enterprises of information and communication services of Ukraine is of strategic importance for the complementary development of all spheres of the economy of Ukraine and constitutes a platform for forcing and raising proactive business segments in general. The analysis of empirical analytical materials has made it possible to identify insufficient rates of digitalization of the Ukrainian economy compared to the rates of European countries and leading countries of the world, though domestic enterprises of telecommunication services demonstrate positive dynamics of performance results. This indicates a stable positive dynamics in the development of the information and communication sector of economic activity. It is found that the largest consumption of information and communication services occurs in the city of Kyiv, in Donetsk and Odesa regions. At the same time, digital technologies and IT products actively integrate only up to 30% of businesses into their activities. Still, the digital transformation of economic activity in the context of globalization is a key strategic task for the integrative development of enterprises.

Analyzing the Peculiarities of the Development of IT Companies in the Wartime and Regarding the Post-War Conditions (p. 131 - 140)
Economic models of world development are characterized by circularity, digitalization and smartization, the active use of scientific and technological achievements in products and technologies, the focus of entrepreneurs’ attention on the creation of strategic knowledge, the formation of unique competencies, the development of new business ideas and their application to obtain competitive advantages in the market. For IT companies, solving these issues is the most urgent, since the IT industry is the most dynamic, it is developing very rapidly, changing and significantly affecting other industries. Also, it should be noted that for domestic IT companies, the conditions for their development are complicated due to hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, the need to relocate businesses, the risks of losing customers and highly qualified personnel, reduced investment in startups. Despite the fact that in 2022 the IT industry provided foreign exchange earnings to the Ukrainian economy (an increase of 5.8% compared to pre-war 2021), there is a significant slowdown in the growth rate of the IT industry compared, for example, with the period 2015-2021, when exports of computer services grew by an average of 26.8% annually. Therefore, the task of analyzing the features of the development of IT companies in the wartime and regarding the post-war conditions is important and relevant for creating security conditions and substantiating the directions of their sustainable development. The article analyzes changes at the global and international levels of the IT industry; the experience of strengthening and consolidating the largest digital IT companies in the market is considered; the negative impact of the decrease in the activity of foreign venture funds to support startups is studied; the level of the State support for enterprises of high-tech industries is characterized.

Logistics 5.0: Synergy of Artificial Intelligence and Humans in the Context of Sustainable Development (p. 174 - 179)
The emergence of ChatGPT in late 2022 brought unprecedented technological changes in many areas of business and society, raising the level of interest in generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology to a whole new level. The use of AI has become especially relevant in the field of logistics, where the need to optimize processes and reduce costs has always been high. The article analyzes the current trends in the development and application of artificial intelligence technologies in the field of logistics. The main challenges associated with the introduction of AI in logistics are outlined, including: the biased attitude of customers to interaction with AI; responsible generation of requests to AI in compliance with data privacy rules; the need to develop digital competence, etc. The conception of «Logistics 5.0», in which a person and artificial intelligence act as equal elements of the logistics system, is considered. The following main aspects of Logistics 5.0 are analyzed in the context of sustainable development: human-centeredness, viability, and sustainable development. Human-centeredness in Logistics 5.0 assumes that the human is central to the logistics system, and there is also a rethinking of the Human – Machine (H2M) interaction in general. Viability in Logistics 5.0 is the ability of the logistics system to exist (function) under any conditions, which is achieved through stability, flexibility, and adaptability. Sustainable development in Logistics 5.0 involves the functioning and development of current logistics systems while maintaining opportunities for future generations to meet their needs. The paper details three key aspects of sustainability for AI and for Logistics 5.0 – environmental sustainability, economic well-being, and social justice. It is concluded that there is a need to develop ethical principles and a legal framework for regulating the use of AI in logistics to ensure their contribution to sustainable development.

Structural and Dynamic Analysis of the IT Market of Ukraine: Today’s Challenges (p. 136 - 145)
The aim of the article is to study the trends and features of structural transformations of the IT market of Ukraine over the past decade. Taking into account the consideration that there is still no single statistical base and system of indicators that would fully reflect the state of functioning of the IT market in Ukraine, as is revealed by the analyses of many information sources, the main structural transformations of the IT market of Ukraine as of 2013, 2018 and 2023 were analyzed and researched. As result of the carried out study, it is found out what structural changes took place during these periods in the IT labor market, in the market of IT products, in the economics of the IT business in general, etc. This made it possible to better assess the potential of the national IT market, identify potential threats to its development, competitive environment, and form a systematic view of the state and prospects for the development of the IT sector of the national economy, also to outline the key trends that will determine the development of the IT market in the near future. The factors of national and global scale, under the influence of which the IT market of Ukraine will be formed and function in the future, have been identified. In particular, it is the continuation of hostilities on the territory of Ukraine; irregularity of the process of reservation of critical employees of the IT industry and sending them on business trips abroad; lack of free money in the economy; global recession due to the energy crisis; companies’ attraction to optimize costs for the development along with further development of artificial intelligence. It is found that in 2023, for the first time in a decade, there is a downward trend in the volume of the IT market. This is testified by the departure of IT specialists abroad, a drop in the export of IT services, significant layoffs of IT specialists by companies, a long-term delay in the revision of salaries, a freeze in the increase in the level of compensation and bonus payments, a change in the situation in the talent market not in favor of Ukrainian IT specialists, etc. Prospects for further research in this direction are the substantiation of making appropriate managerial decisions to curb the decline of the IT market and the introduction of additional tools to stimulate its development in the dynamic economic conditions that have developed both within the country and around the world.

Trends in the Development of the IT Sector in Ukraine (p. 145 - 152)
The aim of the article is to analyze the current trends in the IT industry in Ukraine, identify the key problems of the sector caused by russia’s military aggression, and identify areas of activation that will contribute to the development and adaptation of the sector to the challenges of the external environment. The information technology market is one of the driving forces of all sectors of the national economy, the State and regional administration, science and education, etc. In the context of globalization and the European integration of Ukraine, it should be borne in mind that the domestic IT sector is one of the most promising sectors of the economy. Mobility and quick adaptability to challenges allows the IT industry to be an important pillar of Ukraine during the wartime and will help in the period of post-war recovery. The article analyzes the trends in the development of the IT sector for 2018–2023, it was noted that the crisis shocks associated with the coronavirus pandemic, which significantly affected the business of many industries, did not harm the activities of companies in the IT sector. However, russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022 affected the positive dynamics of IT companies’ performance indicators and slowed down the growth rate of the IT sector. The article analyzes the factors that cause the slowdown in the development of the IT industry. In particular, the influence of both factors that have a global context and internal factors caused by the destructive pressure of war is considered. The article also specifies the tendency to reduce the number of specialists in domestic IT companies and considers its main causes. The areas that need to be activated in order for the IT industry to remain resilient, adapting to the challenges of the external environment, and continuing its development are allocated. The preserved positive dynamics of the performance of IT companies in the face of the full-scale invasion, the high level and demand for our IT specialists in the foreign and domestic markets indicate the accumulated significant potential and the ability of the IT sector to adapt quickly. The directions of activation proposed in the article will contribute to the further development of the IT sector.

Peculiarities and Problems of Diffusion of Client Bases in the Activity of IT Enterprises of Ukraine (p. 152 - 159)
The purpose of the study is to identify the features and problems of diffusion of the client base of IT enterprises in Ukraine, to develop recommendations for solution of the latter. The article outlines the general situation in the IT market, in particular, draws attention to its turbulence and high instability of consumer preferences, when supply in the market dominates over demand. The components of the concept of «diffusion of client bases of enterprises» are considered. Under the concept of «diffusion» it is proposed to consider the conception that describes the patterns of distribution of cultural, social, economic and other phenomena, initially concentrated in one or more places, which imply the presence of a certain share of uncertainties, and «client base» – as the main source of business and income of the enterprise, containing information about both existing and potential clients. The main advantages of maintaining a client base of activities are presented, in particular: preservation of data; transfer of a client from one manager to another; analysis of the market situation; assessment of the target audience; formation of marketing strategy and business development. It is noted that client-oriented business management allows to increase the profit and overall efficiency of the enterprise by increasing the amount of revenue from the existing client base, as well as by optimizing operating costs. The stages of formation of the client base of activity for IT enterprises are proposed and detailed as: planning, development, implementation, and analysis. Attention is drawn to the matter that the main indicator of the diffusion of the client base of an IT enterprise is the «drawdown» of sales, which can be caused by both internal and external factors of influence. The statistics of changes in the geography of hiring on the example of the largest domestic IT enterprises, which is one of the indicators of client behavior, has been studied. It is noted that large enterprises do not experience the diffusion of the client base of activity to the same extent as it happens with small companies, so the diffusion of the client base of IT enterprises from Ukraine is not a mass phenomenon. Recommendations to encourage clients to cooperate with Ukrainian IT companies are proposed. Prospects for further research in this direction are the study of the specifics of the recovery of global demand in the IT industry after the recession.

Information Economy in the System of Post-War Recovery Measures in Ukraine (p. 167 - 173)
The aim of the article is to determine the role and significance of the information economy in the process of reсovery of Ukraine after the war. Nowadays, information has a significant impact on the modern economy through decision-making, organization of production, allocation of resources and consumption. The article discusses practical examples of the use of information technologies and digital tools, as well as illustrates the impact of these technologies on the rapid and effective recovery of the country’s economy after the war’s end. The article highlights such aspects as the use of information systems to coordinate recovery processes, promoting investment opportunities, supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, developing innovations and startups in the recovery industry sectors, and improving management and resource efficiency. The carried out research allowed to correlate the concept of information economy with the above categories, which made it possible to identify the interdependence or subordination of the digital economy to these aspects. Currently, the issue of the information economy is studied at an inappropriately low level due to the complexity of the topic, which covers a wide range of aspects – from technology and socio-cultural influences to economic policy. It is proved that increasing the level of research on the information economy can contribute to improving the level of economic recovery of the country. It is defined that the rapid pace of technological progress is constantly changing the economic landscape and requires constant updating of knowledge and research methods. Therefore, it is very important to use all available resources that can help in the post-war recovery of the country: reconstruction and revival of infrastructure, the work of humanitarian organizations, attracting investments, managing crisis situations, creating new businesses, etc.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Local Self-Government Websites with Use of Web Analytics (p. 118 - 125)
In today’s world, websites have become an important channel of communication between local governments and citizens. Effective websites of local self-government bodies can help improve the provision of services to the population, raise citizens’ awareness of the government’s activities and stimulate citizens’ participation in decision-making. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the websites of local self-government of Rivne region with use of web analytics. The object of the study is 64 territorial communities of Rivne region. The study showed that the websites of local self-government in Rivne region have a number of problems that negatively affect their effectiveness. These problems include: 1) low attendance. Many local government websites have a low number of visitors, which indicates that they are not effective tools for informing citizens; 2) insufficient quality of content. The content on many local government websites is irrelevant, uninteresting and unpractical for users; 3) poor technical optimization. Many local government websites load slowly, are not optimized for mobile devices, and are not accessible to people with disabilities. However, the study also showed that the websites of rural and settlement communities have a higher traffic rate compared to urban communities. This may be due to the fact that in rural areas people have fewer alternative sources of information about the activities of the authorities. The study also identified a number of factors influencing the effectiveness of local government websites. These factors include: the relevance of the content; download speed; mobile optimization; user experience. The results of the study highlight the importance of an integrated approach to improving the effectiveness of local government websites. Local governments that want to have effective websites should improve the quality of content, optimize their websites technically, use SEO and social networks, and involve citizens in the development and improvement of their websites.

Digital Innovations in the Activities of Small Trade Enterprises (p. 126 - 134)
Digitalization has changed retail forever and will keep making changes. Customers can now shop from the comfort of their own homes, with access to a variety of products, and easily comparing prices. At the same time, digitalization also poses challenges, especially for traditional small-scale retailers who cannot keep up with the pace of digitalization of the industry and society as a whole. The object of the research is the processes of introduction of digital innovations and the activities of small enterprises in the field of trade. The subject of the research is digital innovations in the sphere of trade and their impact on the activities of enterprises and consumer experience. The article discloses the concept of «digital innovation», identifies and characterizes the factors that influence the processes of introduction of digital innovations in the sphere of trade. The considered and analyzed models of consumer behavior in the context of digitalization of trade demonstrate that the latter are used as quite traditional approaches to the process of purchasing, complete immersion in the online space, as well as mixed forms. Attention is paid to the recently popular ROPO effect (Research online, purchase offline). The use of a number of digital technologies will help improve trade processes and consumer experience. It is proposed to use a systematic approach to the implementation of digitalization measures in the activities of small trade enterprises on the basis of the digitalization pyramid, which consists of four main areas of activity: optimization of internal processes, visibility on the Internet, digital sales and artificial intelligence. According to the pyramid, the path of digitalization is a series of separate stages, when, without passing the previous level, it is not recommended to master and implement what the next level entails. The identified advantages and disadvantages of the introduction of digital innovations in trade make it possible to find out the main problems and directions of development of trade enterprises in the digital age.

The Adaptive Assessment of Financial Security of Retail Industry Entities in the Context of Active Development of Meta-Spatial Business Collaborations (p. 154 - 164)
The article examines the relationship between the development of metaspatial business collaborations in the sphere of retail and the financial security of economic entities (FSEE), which is defined as a state characterized by: balance and quality of financial instruments, technologies and services; resilience to internal and external threats; the ability of the financial system to ensure the achievement of financial goals. An improved methodology for adaptive assessment and analysis of the FSEE has been proposed, which includes three blocks: a block for assessing the state of the FSEE, a block for threat analysis and a block for the development of managerial influences. The FSEE assessment block includes the following four stages: formation of the FSEE scorecard; comprehensive assessment of the level of the FSEE; assessment of the state of individual groups of the FSEE; identification of the FSEE states. The model of formation of the system of indicators is the initial model of the block, the purpose of which is to form and filter preliminary financial indicators that are most significant for such an assessment. The formation of indicators is possible, depending on information security, by expert and statistical methods. The model of integral assessment of the level of the FSEE allows to build an integral indicator that reflects the general level of the financial component of economic security. Its value is computed using the method of constructing a taxonomic indicator of the level of development, which is one of the methods of multivariate analysis. The model for assessing the state of individual groups of the FSEE includes the formation of values of local levels of financial security for certain groups of financial indicators and even an assessment of the impact of these indicators on the corresponding local level of financial security. The developed set of models allows to obtain forecast assessmets that can be used both in the development of the strategy of economic security of enterprise and in the process of operational management of the FSEE. The proposed set of models has been approbated to assess the level of financial security on the basis of data on the activities of 20 retailers in Ukraine. To assess and analyze financial security, neural network models were used, which, due to the property of generalization, insensitivity to small changes in input signals, the ability to learn and abstract, made it possible to solve the problems of the amount of computing resources, as well as the lack of complete information. The use of a neural network approach to the assessment and analysis of the financial component of economic security made it possible to better present a model of the joint influence of factors and threats on the level of the FSEE. In the context of the active development of metaspatial business collaborations, especially in the field of retail, the proposed methodology for adaptive assessment and analysis of financial security of economic entities is extremely relevant.

This helps to improve coordination between the company’s departments. It also reduces production time and increases the level of quality and productivity. A wide range of tasks, from order processing and preparation of production documentation to control and analysis of production results, are involved in the creation of a company’s management information structure. Production planning, customer invoicing and scheduling of production processes are also important aspects of management. They help to ensure an efficient production process and customer satisfaction. A comprehensive system of information and management components is used to create and use an information structure for managing the production of printed products based on a system-process approach. These components include information technology, production process management systems, and logistics process management systems. The aim is to automate and optimise production processes in the printing industry. In particular, it is possible to optimise the processes of interaction between customers and producers through the development of print production using information technologies and automated management systems. This helps to improve the quality of the service and to make management decisions on a more informed basis. The study notes that effective operational management of receiving orders in the printing industry is critical to running a successful business. Key elements of this process include the proper collection and management of information. Initial data plays an important role in order acceptance and fulfilment, such as customer requirements, requirement structure, financial conditions and order volume. This information enables you to communicate effectively with customers, understand their needs, and estimate profitability and cost to produce. Key aspects of production management include responding quickly to changes in demand, optimising processes and fulfilling orders on time. In order to maintain the efficient functioning of the company, it is important that the data is current, updated and accessible to all parties involved in the process. It is concluded that a properly organised information structure based on the system-process approach is an important component of successful print production management. It contributes to the optimisation of work processes and increases the productivity of the company.

The Impact of Digital Transformations on the Development of the Modern Economic Space: Human Capital, Inclusion, Security (p. 180 - 190)
Digital transformations, encompassing the integration of the latest technologies into all aspects of life, are fundamentally changing the modern economic space. This process has a profound impact on three key aspects: human capital, inclusion, and security. These factors interact in the context of digital change, as their proper management is crucial for sustainable and equitable economic development. That is why the purpose of the presented work is to determine the impact of digital transformations on the development of the modern economic space in the aspects of inclusiveness, security and human capital development. The main methods presented in the study are: method of analysis, method of synthesis, method of generalization, logical method, method of expert evaluation, method of deduction, method of induction, tabular method, graphical method. The main results of the study include the conclusion that digital technologies pose new requirements on skills and knowledge. Modern business models require highly skilled professionals capable of working with big data, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and other advanced technologies. This requires significant changes in education and training, as well as ongoing training and retraining of employees. Digital transformation can also exacerbate social and economic inequalities if an equal access to new technologies is not ensured. Different segments of the population may have unequal access to digital resources and opportunities, which can lead to the exclusion of certain groups from economic activity. Digital transformations are accompanied by an increase in cyber threats such as hacker attacks, identity theft, and fraud. This can jeopardize the security of personal data, business processes and national security. Thus, digital transformations have a powerful impact on the development of the modern economic space, changing the dynamics of human capital, inclusion issues, and security aspects. In order to maximize the positive outcomes of digital change and minimize possible negative impacts, comprehensive measures must be taken, covering educational initiatives, support for inclusion, and strengthening cybersecurity. Only through coherent and strategic approaches can equitable and sustainable development be ensured in the face of rapid technological change.

The framework proposed in the paper consists of a digital economy measurement method based on value added calculation. The measurement method uses national accounts and reflects the digital economy in the overall context of gross domestic product (GDP). The study shows the identification of relevant digital sectors around the core perimeter of the digital economy. The given results are obtained using the data obtained from the national reports of 16 economies of different regions of the world, according to which the digital economy represents a significant part of the GDP of all the selected economies. Measuring the digital economy in terms of the economy's gross domestic product and the contribution of incremental moderation goes beyond the low-level threshold for assessing its welfare effects on the broader economy. The paper provides a comprehensive statistical perspective on the overview of the development of the digital economy. At this point, the proposed framework for measuring the digital economy tries to focus on the emerging products and industries of the digital age. Frame measures the digital economy's share of GDP attributable to the economy's total GDP, which is accounted for by the contribution of value added to a defined set of key digital products, consistent with the digital economy. The method proposed in the framework makes it extremely flexible, as users can independently obtain the appropriate results for their desired level of analysis. Digital technologies are transforming the way businesses operate and how societies interact.

Development of the Urban Region: Digitalization and Intellectualization (p. 127 - 132)
The presented article focuses on the issue of integrating digital and intelligent technologies into traditional urban structures. It is noted that this process requires not only technical changes, but also the transformation of management approaches, rethinking the role of the public in decision-making and adapting the legal framework to new realities. The introduction of smart technologies allows not only to increase the efficiency of city services, but also to ensure more transparent and inclusive governance, where residents can actively participate in the development of their city through digital platforms and tools. The aim of the article is to determine the components of the development of an urban region and take into account the impact of digitalization and intellectualization on this process. The main methods used in the study are: analysis, synthesis, generalization, expert method, method of comparison, deduction, induction, logical method, tabular and graphical methods. The applied methods made it possible to conduct a qualitative study of the presented problems and identify the necessary data to substantiate the purpose of the work and the completeness of the study. Thus, in the course of the study, it was found that an important aspect is the environmental sustainability of transformations. The introduction of digital and smart technologies should be accompanied by measures aimed at reducing energy consumption, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving the overall ecological condition of cities. This involves a comprehensive approach to the development of urban regions, where technological innovation is combined with environmental and social initiatives aimed at creating a harmonious living environment. Thus, the development of urban regions through digitalization and intellectualization opens up broad prospects for the creation of efficient, inclusive and sustainable urban spaces. However, the success of these processes will largely depend on the ability of society to adapt to new conditions, find a balance between technological progress and social needs, and ensure equitable access to all the benefits that modern technologies have to offer.

The Application Programming Interface as a Method for Monitoring Social Network Data for Research in Behavioral Economics (p. 133 - 141)
In today’s behavioral economics, research based on social media data is becoming increasingly popular. Interactive platforms such as TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and others generate a wealth of data that can be used to analyze user behavior. Processing large amounts of information requires the development of effective tools for collection and analysis of such data. The application programming interface (API) is one of the key methods that provides real-time access to data. The application programming interface allows scientists to automate the process of collecting information, customize queries according to various criteria, and obtain structured data for further analysis. The article examines the use of application programming interfaces as methods for monitoring social network data for research in behavioral economics. The features of the use of social networks for scientific research are analyzed. A monitoring method has been developed for collecting and processing data using APIs to study the behavior of social media users. The parameters of data collection (keywords, hashtags, time intervals, etc.) are determined, scripts for processing and storing data are created, a mechanism for starting the data collection process and monitoring its effectiveness and stability are designed. The proposed monitoring algorithm allows you to collect a representative database, analyze the content and interactions of social media users. APIs provide the ability to obtain a large amount of up-to-date and relevant information about user behavior, preferences, social interactions, and reactions to economic events, which allows for effective real-time data collection and analysis and increases the accuracy of forecasts in behavioral economics. Prospects for further research include the analysis of social media data, which will identify the impact of social and information factors on investment decision-making in the context of the market of virtual assets.

The Impact of Innovative Digital Technologies on the Post-War Recovery of Ukrainian Universities (p. 141 - 150)
The aim of the article is to identify and substantiate the impact of innovative digital technologies on the recovery of higher education institutions in the post-war period. The article notes that at the beginning of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, digital technologies became a key source of relevant information, communication and psychological mutual support for participants in the educational process. The digitalization of universities has allowed the latter to continue providing high-quality educational services in a distance or hybrid format despite the threats resulting from the conditions of martial law in the country. The article assumes that digital technologies can be effectively used in the course of the post-war recovery of domestic higher education institutions. Taking into account the differences in location and damage during the wartime, the authors propose to distinguish the following groups: border region universities, front-line territory universities, universities occupied by the enemy, relocated universities, and typical universities. The main emphasis in the article is placed on the universities in border regions. The authors conclude that modern digital technologies (Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud technologies, big data analytics) can make the process of post-war recovery of Ukrainian universities transparent, faster, safer, and more comprehensive. According to the authors, the recovery of border region universities in the post-war period should be based on the principle of «build back better», taking into account the potential of innovative digital technologies in educational, research and management activities. The study proved that the application programming interface (API) will help in the integration of educational platforms and the restoration of damaged communication channels at the university; blockchain – in ensuring the protection of academic documents and personal data of participants in the educational process; cloud technologies – in organizing access to educational materials, libraries, joint research projects in real time from any location; big data analytics – in processing huge amounts of data necessary to improve the university’s marketing policy and monitor changes in the needs of higher education students and employees; artificial intelligence – in personalizing learning and improving the quality of educational services; Internet of Things – in increasing the interactivity of learning, remote control of scientific experiments, as well as in monitoring the state of the university premises (including their energy efficiency and threat protection system).
