The Analysis of industrial cooperation models in the context of forming digital economy

Abstract

Approaches which enable improving the efficiency of industrial enterprises functioning in the context of forming digital economy are discussed in the article. In contrast to the traditional analysis of this problem on macro- (national economy in general, creating a favorable institutional environment for industrial development and digitalizing of economy) or micro- (development of recommendations for implementing digital technologies in manufacturing and management subsystems of industrial enterprises) levels, the authors consider a meso-level. Studies undertaken have made it possible to come to a conclusion that current digitalization of both enterprises and industry in total determines the changes of industrial cooperation models. It has been indicated that significant opportunities for effective development of industry are connected with forming integrative groups of cooperation-interactive enterprises. Such models of interaction as outsourcing, cluster and strategic alliance have been considered and their pros and cons have been revealed. Recommendations on designing cooperation interaction between industrial enterprises have been formulated. The design is oriented on improving the effectiveness of using resources and reducing risks.
