Introduction. Digitalization of the industrial sector in Russia is a priority task aimed at modernizing and optimizing production processes, improving the quality and competitiveness of products, as well as strengthening the country’s position in the world market, which makes it relevant to analyze the problems of introducing digital technologies into industrial production. Theoretical analysis. The main internal and external aspects of the industrial production digitalization that may affect its success are presented, a SWOT analysis is carried out and the advantages, disadvantages, opportunities and threats associated with the digitalization of industrial production in Russia are analyzed. Empirical analysis. The digitalization of industrial production in Russia is under the influence of the following problems: lack of digital infrastructure, lack of qualified personnel, high implementation costs, cybersecurity problems, unprepared legislation. Results. The directions for improving the digitalization of industrial production are determined. In general, the results of improving the industrial production digitalization are associated with improving the efficiency, flexibility, quality and competitiveness of the organization, as well as creating new opportunities for growth and development.

Introduction. Modern challenges and threats to the development of the Russian agro-food complex determine the search for new growth sources of the complex, the strengthening of orientation towards the formation of a balanced functional and sectoral structure. The relevance of the regional aspect of research and substantiation of structural changes in the agro-food complex is associated with a deep socio-economic, natural-climatic and socio-cultural differentiation of the country’s regions. Theoretical analysis. Changing the role of regions in solving food security problems and providing the population with quality food is a global trend. The rupture of global food chains as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the sanctions confrontation strengthens the influence of local producers on the food market, suggests the need to form a multilevel agro-food complex of the country. Structural changes in the agro-food complex of Russia have their own characteristics associated with the heterogeneity of its spatial development. Empirical analysis. The accelerated growth of the agricultural sector of Saratov region economy due to the concentration on the production of a limited group of agricultural products (cereals and oilseeds, sugar) has been revealed. The regional food market segments, which have a surplus and shortage of products, are determined. It is substantiated that current trends extrapolation in the development of the regional agro-food complex preserves its unbalanced structure and further growth in the share of raw materials and primary processing products, while reducing the share of deep processing products. Results. Adaptation to new risks and threats is associated with an increasing trend towards the localization of production and supply of agricultural products and food. The priority areas for the development of the regional food system should be the diversification of agro-food production, local food chains formation with deep processing of agricultural raw materials, and the intensification of interregional exchange.

Introduction. The development of science and technology in recent decades, the active introduction of innovations and ongoing technological changes have significantly influenced economic processes and led to the emergence of a post-industrial economic system with a predominance of the Quaternary knowledge-intensive sector of the economy. Theoretical analysis. The development of intellectual activity and the expansion of the intellectual production sphere change the quality of the economic system itself. In modern economy, the development of markets for intellectual goods and services leads to qualitative changes in traditional sectors of the economy, which makes it important to study their development dynamics. Еmpirical analysis. Based on empirical data from 85 Russian regions for 2014–2021, an integral indicator of the development level of regional markets for intellectual goods and services was calculated using nine indicators that characterize the most large-scale knowledge-intensive sectors of knowledge generation in regional economies: educational services, innovations and information technologies. Results. The dynamics of the development of regional markets for intellectual goods and services as a whole is determined, and the unevenness of their development and a high degree of differentiation are revealed. The “disconnection” of regions with a high level of development of knowledge-intensive sectors from each other hinders the formation of an even innovation space and the spread of a high-tech way of life, the effective transfer of knowledge, technology, information and economic growth in general. Conclusion. The results of the study can be used to analyze changes in the educational services market, when conducting research on the innovative and informational development of regions, predicting qualitative and quantitative trends in the development of markets for intellectual goods and services.

Introduction. The article considers the relevance of the digital technologies introduction in healthcare organizations, accelerated by the coronavirus pandemic. The purpose of the publication is to clarify the role of digital technologies in the healthcare sector for solving applied problems and ensuring the quality of human capital as a factor of the sustainable development of the economy. Theoretical analysis. A review of Russian and foreign publications on the subject of digitalization in the field of healthcare is given. The problems of digital health are highlighted. The directions for the introduction of digital technologies in the domestic healthcare system based on the technologies of mobile healthcare, electronic medical records, medical analytics, telemedicine, and artificial intelligence systems are presented. The study is based on the analysis of statistical data on the federal districts of Russia. Results. The results of the study made it possible to identify the limiting factors for the introduction of digital technologies in healthcare organizations in Russia, to clarify the importance of digital technologies for ensuring the quality of human capital. Conclusions. The results and conclusions of the article can become a theoretical platform for further research to advance healthcare towards the implementation of the digital maturity model and the widespread use of digital technologies for the provision of medical care and services in the healthcare system.
