Abstract

The digital transformation of industry is an objective trend in recent years and a necessary condition for the economic growth of the Russian economy in modern global conditions. However, enterprises of different industries and different sizes have their own characteristics that affect the speed of implementation of digital technologies. Also, this speed is influenced by measures of state policy to support digitalization, which should take into account these features. The aim of the work is to identify the features of digitalization processes at large, medium and small industrial enterprises and to analyze measures of state support for the digital transformation of industrial enterprises in Russia. The article highlights the features of digitalization of enterprises of various sizes, and the predominant types of digital technologies used in the practice of large, medium and small industrial enterprises in Russia and developed countries. We systematize state policy measures aimed at digitalizing the Russian industry, and highlight measures of small and medium-sized enterprises support. The study identifies the external and internal barriers to the digital transformation of industrial enterprises, and offers recommendations for improving measures to support the digital transformation of industry.
