Purpose: is to study of the processes of digitalization and digital transformation of the real sector of the economy of the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District. Methods: the methodological basis of the study was the concept of the digital economy, the theoretical principles of supply-side economics, the systems approach, trend analysis and predictive analytics. The study is based on the use of the methods of economic and statistical analysis, scientific abstraction, analogies and scientific generalizations. The methods used are characterized by validity and show a high degree of effectiveness. Results: digitalization and digital transformation processes are underway in the North Caucasus Federal District, but the pace remains low. To accelerate these processes, it is necessary to solve two interrelated problems: firstly, to materialize the processes of digitalization and digital transformation in the real sector of the economy of the regions of the federal district, and secondly, to train personnel in certain specialties who can effectively operate digital technologies. In the first case, it is possible to use the model of catch-up development at the regional level, which will make it possible to implement the principle of “advantage of backwardness” and use the accumulated global and regional experience in the transition to the modern trends in the operation of digital technologies. In the second case, it is proposed to organize special centers in the subjects of the district for retraining digital technologies specialists with the necessary competencies and/or advanced training with the issuance of the confirming certificates. Such centers could train exclusive specialists at the request of enterprises or engage in refresher training and retraining of the necessary specialists. The creation of the centers is possible on the basis of public-private partnership. Conclusions and Relevance: the main task of the digital transformation of industry is considered to be the modernization of production process management, which will lead to the significant increase in labor productivity. To implement such a scenario, the economic entities in the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District need to move away from the traditionalist approaches that take place in the organization and management of enterprises, and switch to the processes of digitalization and digital transformation of the real sector of the economy of the district.

Purpose: through the prism of new knowledge generated by the author, to explore possible ways of modernization and transformation of Russia in the conditions of the new reality: conducting the special military operation, the sharp confrontation with the collective West, the series of sanctions and counter-sanctions, the new economic course – supply-side economics, the Concept of technological development until 2030 and development of neural network artificial intelligence. The article is a natural continuation and an integral part of the research conducted by the author over several decades and dedicated to finding ways to a future without crises and destructive wars for Russia and the global world. Methods: the article uses a complex of general scientific methods, including analysis, generalization, comparison, etc. The research is based on the results of the author’s previous works and is relies on the methodological tools formed in them – new knowledge, a new scientific paradigm (NSP). Results: the author analyzed the state of Russia in the context of the need to gain economic and technological sovereignty. It is shown that there remains a lack of effective ways out of the deepest crisis and understanding the future in economic, scientific and technological aspects. Analysis of Russian and foreign publications through the prism of new knowledge made it possible to once again prove that the future of the world does not lie in the development of artificial intelligence, but in the transition to a new development paradigm (NDP) and comprehensive human development in a new model of life. Conclusions and Relevance: the conclusions of the author’s previous research on the need to transition to a new development paradigm were confirmed. New evidence has been obtained that Russia, in the conditions of the new reality that began in February 2022, has become even closer to switching to NDP, the meaning and goal of which is the person himself, within the framework of which his highest need is satisfied – to become perfect in the physical, intellectually and spiritually.

Purpose: of the article is to develop a model of the value system of Russian youth, which can form the basis for the formation of the orientations of young people necessary for the state, contributing to the sustainable development of the Russian Federation. Methods: the article used both traditional methods of scientific analysis and methods of Bayesian intelligent measurement methodology used in conditions of uncertainty, inaccuracy and incompleteness of data characteristic of social and socio-economic systems. Results: in the presented study, the extensible hierarchical information model of the value system of Russian youth has been developed. The methodology for processing questionnaire data has been developed, the results of which are presented on numerical and linguistic scales, which makes it possible to take into account the uncertainty of the information received. According to the results of the survey of university students of 10 subjects of the Russian Federation aged 17 to 30 years, a total of 1816 people obtained the values of factors characterizing the value world of Russian youth, which allowed her to form her portrait. Some value factors of young people of the Tula region are evaluated and analyzed. Conclusions and Relevance: the proposed model and methodology for processing personal data allows us to create the adequate holistic portrait of Russian youth in modern economic conditions. The formation of two groups of young people characterized by unfavorable and favorable value attitudes towards Russian society has been revealed, which in the future may lead to a conflict of social and economic interests, thereby negatively affecting the pace of economic growth and sustainable development of the state. In order to reduce internal tension between youth groups and the formation of values inherent in Russian society, measures at the federal and regional levels are proposed.

Purpose: of the study is to develop an adaptive model of higher education system management in the context of digital transformation of the economy. Methods: the methods of interdisciplinary, structural and logical analysis, typologization of management models, rating and expert assessments were used in the work. The methodological basis of the research was: a three-sided model of higher education management assessment, a "management cube", including a model of new managerialism, a two-plane model of higher education system assessment, level-based, adaptive approaches to higher education management. Results: based on the analysis of the higher education management system in the context of the digital transformation of the economy, the need for the formation of new adaptive mechanisms and management models of this system as an area where human capital is formed and developed, necessary for the breakthrough development of the country. Also, the trends of digitalization in the field of higher education have been identified. Recommendations for its adaptation to the digital transformation of the economy have been developed and substantiated. As a key tool of the adaptive management model, an organizational model of adaptive management of the higher education system has been developed, which makes it possible to adapt the entire education system to the challenges of digital transformation of the economy. Conclusions and Relevance: the developed organizational model will make it possible to build an effective work of the higher education system using adaptive management mechanisms, that allow it to optimally adapt to modern transformational processes, that occur according to cyclical crisis phenomena and the next industrial revolution. Digital transformation and the conditions of Industry 4.0, as well as the technological singularity, which is already the reality, do not allow us to strategically correctly build one specific model of management of the higher education system, since the above-mentioned processes become the trigger for constant transformations, including in the field of education. The organizational model of adaptive management proposed by the authors is innovative, allowing to adapt iteratively to the ongoing transformations of social and economic systems. Thus, this model is strategically relevant and promising for the both modern conditions of functioning and long-term development of the education sector.

Purpose: is to identify state of the art, key aspects and distinctive characteristics of the smart specialization concept based on a study of the current state and the initial prerequisites for its formation, including linkages with other theoretical approaches. Methods: theoretical provisions of regional and spatial economics, innovative development, and economic geography by Russian and foreign scientists were used for conducting the research. Тhe methods of bibliometric, statistical and content analysis of literary sources constituted a methodological framework for the study. A systematization of publications for 2012–2021 was grounded on thematic samples from eLIBRARY.ru, Scopus and Web of Science databases. An analysis of text array content was conducted with the aim of further critical interpretation of the revealed patterns and identification of promising research directions. Results: it was found, that despite the fact that the concept of the smart specialization was based on many previous theoretical approaches, it made a significant contribution to the new political vision of regional development. It is shown how the initially sectoral approach, through the use of the postulates of economic geography, was transformed into the territorial concept. The conducted bibliometric and content analyses of literary sources made it possible to identify the inherent characteristics of the concept, principles and tools for its implementation, as well as formulate the author’s definition of the smart specialization approach. Conclusions and Relevance: the importance of smart specialization consists of the following aspects. Firstly, substantiating the need for differentiated regional policy for various types of regional innovation systems. Secondly, scientific and practical substantiating the importance of the related diversification approach to regional development to stimulate structural changes that are significant for economic dynamics. Thirdly, focusing on interregional interaction to ensure complementarity of scientific and technological regional development.
