FEATURES OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ECONOMY OF THE REGION IN THE EPOCH OF DIGITALIZATION
Based on a generalization of the scientific principles of the theory of regional economics, the article studies the features of the modern development of the subjects of the Ural macro-region of Russia and the Perm Territory in the digitalization era. For the analytical interpretation of regional digitalization indicators, graphic visualization methods were used. It is established that in the modern era of large-scale digitalization of production or social processes, there is a change in the configuration of fixed assets in favor of information and communication technologies, which currently provide the largest increase in gross regional product. At the same time, the regions where the digital environment of interaction between government and industry bodies and business entities is effectively formed look the most prosperous, as well as their own production of ICT facilities that meet modern requirements. The study allowed us to identify bottlenecks for the effective digitalization of the economy of the Perm Territory. Among them: the lack of development of methods for evaluating the effectiveness of digitalization of productive forces and public relations, the lack of proper communication between society and the administration about the configuration of the network space, the lack of ideologists and specialists in the field of digitalization of the regional space, etc. It is concluded that the different dynamics of digitalization in the regional level generates problems of transformation of production and social relations, the implementation of new methodological and practical approaches in managing the subject of the country.
