The dissertation offers a solution to a significant scientific and practical problem of system conceptualization of Ukraine's economy's digital transformation and the development of practical recommendations for digitalization business processes to introduce new economic models and management systems that can provide inclusive economic growth.
Consecutive analysis of the range of modern digital technologies that are most often associated with Industry 4.0 has allowed us to build a conceptual model of the environment, characterized by a set of interconnected elements - the Internet of Things, the Internet of Services, the Internet of People and the Internet of Data. These elements form a kind of ecosystem based on the convergence of technologies, which ultimately leads to an exponential growth of the world and national economies. The semantics of some concepts, including "transformation", "digitization", "digitalization" allows us to conclude that "digital transformation" goes beyond "Industry 4.0". It is determined that the most obvious result of the digital transformation is the development of the digital economy.
The author's method of estimating the scale of the economy's digital transformation, taking into account a wide range of social consequences of such transformations, has been developed and tested based on empirical data. The development of the general conceptual scheme of the national index of the digital transformation of the economy is based on the approach according to which the potential of advanced technologies should contribute to both economic development and solving some social problems and can be realized only in the presence of effective state regulation digital competencies and secure digital infrastructure.
Prospects for implementing the breakthrough strategy, the formation of which involves the use of tools "constraint theory", adapted to justify strategic decisions in the system of state regulation of Ukraine's economy. By breakthrough strategy, we mean a system of views and a consistent process focused on active activities to achieve accelerated growth by identifying the highest priority goals and methods of achieving them. Ensuring Ukraine's economy's inclusive development has been identified as a priority goal of the breakthrough strategy, where technological breakthroughs will lead to economic growth. Its results will be evenly distributed among all members of society. A "current reality tree" is constructed, demonstrating the causal links between the visible manifestations of the state of the system and the underlying causes. To change the existing situation in the future, a new chain of events has formed, where restrictions become the desired results.
Digital transformation in this context should be considered as a priority tool for implementing a breakthrough strategy, as digital technology is a unique basis for "jump-like development". It is because almost all their types, components, and systems are available on the international market and are easily transported to any country for further use. Thanks to these features, they can support a breakthrough strategy, avoiding the traditional stages of gradual development to reduce the gap between developed and developing countries' productivity and efficiency.
Considering the main results of the assessment of the scale of the digital transformation of the economy of Ukraine, are proposed strategic guidelines for the development of digital infrastructure in Ukraine. The model of the basic competencies necessary for using the newest technologies in the conditions of the digital economy is formed. The necessity of strengthening cybersecurity as a factor in accelerating transformation processes and the development of the digital economy in Ukraine is substantiated.
It is substantiated that in addition to technologies for digital transformations and opportunities for "abrupt" economic development, it is important to have knowledge and experience managing relevant technologies. That is why education and science are among the key areas that need to be transformed to implement the breakthrough strategy successfully. They should become the foundation of Ukraine's competitiveness, as they contribute to the full disclosure of each person's potential throughout life, creating a society of conscious features.
Several initiatives are proposed, including the approval of the national strategy for the development of Industry 4.0 and the development of national standards in the field of cybersecurity systems related to Industry 4.0, the formation of a list of critical infrastructures, accelerating international cooperation in combating cyberattacks by terrorist organizations and countries use of cyber weapons to combat them
