Abstract:

At the present stage of the information development of society, digital ecosystems are one of the most effective tools for organizing intra- and intersystem interactions. One of the stable forms of economic interactions is agro-industrial integration, which ensures the association of producers and processors of agricultural products into product chains. The digital ecosystem of communities is viewed as an innovative tool for building relationships between integrating entities and those carrying out organizational, economic and technological interaction within localized territorial and industrial formations. The digital ecosystem creates conditions for the implementation of a fundamentally new form of integration of subjects of the agro-food complex and changes in the entire business model of interaction between producers and processors of agricultural products, which allows balancing economic interests even between competing entities and more fully realizing their development potential. As the essential characteristics of the digital ecosystem of integrated formations of any type, it is proposed to distinguish: a set of interacting subjects, goals implemented by different types of subjects interacting within the digital ecosystem, key functions of the digital ecosystem, reflecting the set of tasks it solves. Reasoining of the range of tasks implemented by the digital ecosystem takes place within the framework of various strategies for their development (passive, adaptive, active and proactive).
