Abstract

The article considers the theoretical, methodological and applied aspects of the formation of the digital economy from the standpoint of the transformative influence of information technologies on traditional industries. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of architectural and institutional mechanisms of digitalization, including the introduction of cyber-physical systems (CPS), platform economy, cloud and edge computing, artificial intelligence and distributed ledgers. Based on an interdisciplinary approach, the impact of digital technologies on the manufacturing, agricultural, transport and logistics, trade, financial and service sectors is substantiated using statistical data and empirical case studies. In conclusion, recommendations are formulated for institutional support of digital transformation, development of digital infrastructure and formation of adaptive management strategies in the context of the transition to a data economy.
