The digital economy in the management of socio-economic relations in the global economy

Abstract

The continuing complication of social structures and relations, which are increasingly based on modern digital technologies, causing exponential growth in data flows, brings to the fore the question of the formation of the digital economy. The importance of the ongoing processes made it possible to raise the question of the formation of a new type of economy, where relations with regard to the production, processing, storage, transmission, and use of an increasing amount of data acquire dominant importance. The data become the basis for economic analysis, which examines the patterns of functioning of modern socio-economic systems. According to a number of experts, at present, it is important for an economic agent not to possess any resource, but to have data on this resource and the ability to use it to plan its activities.
