Abstract:

The transition to the digital development scenario of the country was designated by the Russian government as one of the priority directions for the development of the state. Modernization processes in the context of such a transition acquire a number of specific features; the authors reviewed the strengths and weaknesses of technological modernization, the threats posed by the forced digitalization of the economy, as well as the opportunities opened up for the further progressive development of the country. The general scientific principles of the system approach, comparative analysis, and methods of strategic planning (swot-analysis) have become the framework of studies. The results of the study showed that there is a need to form a unified national strategy in the Russian Federation aimed at taking the economy beyond the application and use of digital technologies in the modernization process.
