Current issues of assessing and increasing the digital maturity of Russian enterprises

Abstract

The unfolding fourth industrial revolution involves increasing the innovative activity of Russian economic entities with the aim of producing high-tech products that replace foreign analogues and ensure the achievement of independence and accelerated development of enterprises. Digital maturity in this aspect is the main factor contributing to their transition to a digital path of development and accelerating innovative growth through the introduction of modern software and the subsequent use of emerging digital capabilities for effective functioning in the face of ongoing changes. A scientifically based approach to assessing digital maturity and managing the digitalization of domestic enterprises is a guarantee of increasing their competitiveness in the market. The purpose of the study is to develop tools for assessing and improving the digital maturity of Russian enterprises to ensure effective implementation of digital renewal strategy and independence from Western developers provision. In the process of achieving this goal, methods of structural analysis and synthesis, system analysis, generalization and description were used. Based on the results of the study, a set of recommendations was developed that are of high importance for the development of methodological management tools and acceleration of economic growth of enterprises in the Russian Federation. The study is based on modern works of leading domestic and foreign economists. The digital transformation of enterprises contributes to their resilience to risks and uncertainty, which inevitably manifest themselves in the conditions of economic restructuring.
