Obruch H. Theoretical and methodological aspects of ensuring the balanced development of railway transport enterprises in the context of digitalization.

Object – the process of ensuring balanced development of railway transport enterprises. Goal – development of theoretical and methodological foundations, methodological approaches and practical recommendations for ensuring balanced development of railway transport enterprises in the context of digital restructuring of their functioning environment. Methods – comparative analysis and graphical method, systematization and classification, system approach, modeling, abstraction and logical analysis, morphological analysis, analogy and extrapolation, expert and computational-analytical. Novelty - for the first time: a coherent approach to ensuring the development of railway transport enterprises is developed, which is based on the multiplicative properties of digitalization; conceptual provisions for ensuring balanced development of railway transport enterprises are proposed; a system of scenarios for ensuring balanced development of railway transport enterprises is developed; improved: approach to innovative and technological support of balanced development of railway transport enterprises; organizational and economic model of proactive management of implementation of joint investment projects with the participation of railway transport enterprises; theoretical foundations of ensuring balanced development of railway transport enterprises’ services in the context of digitalization; model of implementation of digital tools for the development of railway transport enterprises’ services; system of organizational and resource support for balanced development of railway transport enterprises’ services; organizational provisions for ensuring a balanced development of intellectual and human potential of railway transport enterprises; the concept of introducing mentoring into the personnel development management system of railway transport enterprises; approach to the formation of a system of personnel motivation of railway transport enterprises; was further developed: systematization of imbalances in the development of railway transport enterprises based on identification of problems of functioning of industry enterprises depending on the scope of their occurrence; theoretical provisions for ensuring balanced development of railway transport enterprises in the context of digitalization; methodological approach to assessing the effectiveness of implementing digital innovations in railway transport enterprises. Results – theoretical and methodological provisions, methodological approaches and practical recommendations for ensuring balanced development of railway transport enterprises in the context of implementing digital transformations in the industry are formed. Implemented – in the activities of railway transport enterprises. Industry – railway transport.
