Modern paradigms and megatrends of industrialdevelopment

Abstract

Implementation of long-term strategies by all industrial stakeholders. The global nature of the challenges necessitates the organic and harmonious integration of all national economies into a new paradigmatic development framework. This requires active rethinking of strategic concepts and industrial policies by political and economic elites at the national, regional, and global levels. There is a growing trend towards expanding the targeted multi-dimensionality of industrial development as a component of holistic socio-economic systems at any level. Thus, the task of deepening the balance and harmonization of individual vectors and processes, both in the sector itself and in related sectors of the economy, is becoming more urgent. As part of the implementation of the imperatives of the socio-humanitarian paradigm, megatrends are being formed to prioritize the inclusion of humanitarian progress goals in industrial strategies and policies, transition to customer-oriented business models, and reorientation of industrial activities to form/expand the "comfort zone" (in various dimensions). The trend of systemic changes in the models of production use of all types of resources on the basis of maximizing resources’ efficiency and environmental safety is strategically important for global industrial development. This will lead to a shift in emphasis in long-term strategies from maximizing the volume and quantity to optimizing the structural and quality parameters of industrial production. The prospects for implementing the innovative paradigm of industrial development will be mainly determined by the scale and dynamics of 4IR deployment in key technological areas (digitalization, robotics, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, etc.). For sustainable and inclusive development permanent innovative adaptability to changes is becoming a necessary property of industrial production and economic systems at all levels. In the context of the technological trend caused by the 4IR, the factors of information and communication and human resources are becoming increasingly important. The implementation of the innovative paradigm of industrial development contributes to the dynamic formation and deployment of the trend of creativity in the development and modernization of business models and industrial projects. At the current stage of world industrial development, the implementation of the globalization paradigm is accompanied by contradictory phenomena. However, the economic effects of globalization, which have already manifested themselves or are potentially possible, provide grounds to consider the trends caused by it as relatively stable long-term trends. The current processes of national/regional autonomisation should be viewed as a tactical adaptation maneuver in the economic policy of states and regional entities.
