Abstract

The main objective of work became studying the impact of digitalization on innovative process through identification of evolutionary changes and definition of the main problems. The research of two interconnected concepts characteristic of digital economy is conducted – digitization and digitalization. As a result it was revealed that in the foreign literature concerning these processes differentiation of essence of these concepts, though not full whereas at works of the Russian scientists and experts there is some “theoretical confusion”. On the basis of the analysis the similarity and distinction of the concepts “digitization” and “digitalization” are defined and also their concrete interpretation is given. The evolution of innovative process happens on the basis of alternation of generations (models), each of which was characteristic of the time. The authors offered to consider digitalization process as macro-level process which leads to essential and in certain cases to cardinal, to changes in all spheres of activity society. Thus, the assumption is made that the innovative process based on broad use of digital technologies will belong already to the sixth generation. Digital technologies will lead to the transformation of each of stages of this process that will create a number of the positive moments. In this case decrease or disappearance of a part of the risks connected with innovations that will create more favorable conditions for activisation of innovative activity at various levels of economy is possible. In turn, this circumstance will positively affect all development of the Russian Federation. However, it is necessary to consider a certain circle of the problems created by digitalization of innovative process that elimination will demand development of certain management decisions and mechanisms for their negative impact. It is noted that transition to digital economy will demand formation of a certain methodological device which could be used as to the new directions arising in the digital sphere, and to transformation of traditional activities, including connected with innovations.
