“…The living intellectual activity producing knowledge is a sophisticated subject, including ingenuity and networking, building new links between people and companies, and the search for innovative solutions [95,96]. Today, neural technologies are still not able to simulate the total universe of knowledge production by humans, neuro-communications are limited in quality, precision and capacities, AR and VR (augmented and virtual reality) applications are bounded by the technologies progress and neural-physiological studies, and big data analysis and machine learning do not allow the similar creativity that could be compared with the human ingenuity [97][98][99][100][101]. Digital regulation is efficient in routine operations, but still is less efficient in helping to solve non-standard problems [102,103].…”

Digital regulation implies the quantified measuring and the network infrastructure allowing managers to control the processes of value creation. Digital regulation needs to take into account tacit elements of the value creation process, including unconscious competency, creativity, and intuitive anticipation, to assure the resulting network’s innovation growth. Digital society in developing countries is built on the ground of fact change of the economy and social relations, of transition towards an emerging market within the global offline network of interactions and online activities through Internet; the innovative growth imposes the evolution of managerial behavior and attitudes. The main objective of the paper is to obtain indications on the perception of intellectual capital by corporate managers. The exploratory study was carried out in Russian companies operating in different sectors, with the use of the open-ended approach, including focused interviews and group discussion among experts, middle and senior managers from marketing or corporate governance background. The data were complemented by documentary analysis of descriptions of internal processes of the implementation of digital tools of accounting, which includes the human resources control applied for the remote work during the pandemic. Networking helps to coordinate functions between team members at remote work and between teams and administrators. The interviews demonstrated the administrative tendency to under-estimate the non-formalized factors of innovation activity, such as awareness of corporate strategy, creativity, motivation, and affective and behavioral components of communication of the persons involved in the enrichment of intellectual capital. The results show fuzzy boundaries between the intellectual capital components that are difficult to control. This difficulty provokes the preference for the use of “traditional” quantitative indicators that had been implemented at the stage of the financial digitalization, instead of developing new parameters or measuring approaches. The networking emerges synergetic effect if the administrators refuse their monopoly on the uncertainty zones and are oriented to construct the trustful atmosphere of personal responsibility within the network.

“…Today, the transport sector produces about a quarter of the continent's total greenhouse gas emissions [63]. The mobility system contributed to the creation of evident problems within European and world cities: heavy traffic, poor air quality, noise pollution and a high level of CO 2 [64]. Citizens' dependence on owned vehicles and their addiction to fossil fuels contribute to the problems described above and favour wasted time and productivity.…”

Cities will have a decisive role in reducing the consumption of resources and greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Various experiences of urban regeneration have exploited Information and Communication Technology (ICT) potentialities to optimize the management of complex systems and to encourage sustainable development models. This paper investigates the role of ICT technologies in favouring emerging design for Circular Economy (CE) in the urban context. The paper starts by defining the theoretical background and subsequently presents the goal and methodology of investigation. Through a scoping review, the authors identify case studies and analyse them within the Ellen MacArthur Foundation classification framework that splits the urban context into three urban systems: buildings, mobility and products. The research focuses on nine case studies where the ICT solutions were able to promote the principles of CE. The results show, on the one hand, how data management appears to be a central issue in the optimization of urban processes and, on the other hand, how the district scale is the most appropriate to test innovative solutions. This paper identifies physical and virtual infrastructures, stakeholders and tools for user engagement as key elements for the pursuit of CE adoption in the urban context.

“…This new ecosystem also embraces the current auto industry and all the technological changes that are occurring within its products, such as the introduction of engines powered by renewable energy [Rajashekara, 2013] and ICT technologies that are allowing automotive vehicles to become increasingly autonomous [Burns, 2013]. It also embraces a multitude of start-ups and new business models [Bellini et al, 2019] that are emerging and turning the vehicle into something shared and connected with other transport hubs that provide mass and micro mobility [Jittrapirom et al, 2017;Chong et al, 2011;Ho et al, 2018;Smith et al, 2018].…”

The growing share on the aerospace market is due to the increased supply of aircraft components, primarily engines (Figure 5).The changes in the global AM markets' "design" among other things have been caused by the implementation of industrial policies aimed at increasing competitiveness and accelerating growth through structural reforms. However, countries' priorities and implementation methods vary significantly. Industry 4.0 radically changes the understanding of industrial policy vector and stakeholders [Reischauer, 2018]. Germany, China, and the US are striving to maintain leadership by increasing value added in the manufacturing industry. France and Japan localize production, increase its sustainability, and reduce the negative effects of high labor costs. France aims to modernize its manufacturing basis and retain AM leadership, provided it can contain labor costs growth and related social factors [Blanchet et al., 2016]. Russia's industrial policy is mostly vertical in nature, providing selective support and "appointing champions" -industries Таble 1. Classification of AM markets Group Number of markets Composition Share in aggregate AM market (%) Industry 3.0 3 Electronics, optoelectronics, ICT 63.2 Industry 4.0 4 Additive manufacturing, biotechnology, life sciences, flexible production (including robotics) 27.2 Other* 4 New materials, aerospace, nuclear technologies, armaments 9.6* Products not directly related to Industry 3.0 and 4.0. COMTRADE data includes only public information on international trade in armaments. Thus the above estimates do not reflect this market's actual size. However, using this approach makes sense for two reasons. Other available data allows to estimate the overall arms market size without breaking it down into product types (e.g. the SIPRI Arms Transfers Database project). For us, it's important to consider structural shifts not only between markets but also within them, at the level of specific product groups. In line with the adopted approach, the arms market comprises not only armaments and their parts, but also prismatic infrared binoculars, optical telescopes, periscopes, navigation logbooks, and depth sounding equipment..
