Contemporary Issues of Digitalization in Economics, Management, Education

The monograph examines a central challenge of contemporary socio-economic development, namely how digitalization transforms economics, management, and education under conditions of structural change, uncertainty, and external threats. As technological progress accelerates and artificial intelligence diffuses across sectors, organizations and public institutions face growing pressure to innovate while preserving stability, legitimacy, and long-term performance. Digitalization simultaneously expands opportunities for productivity and competitiveness and increases systemic complexity, because decisions, coordination, and service delivery are increasingly mediated by platforms, data infrastructures, and algorithmic tools. Within this context, digital transformation is conceptualized as a multidimensional socio-economic and institutional process that reshapes management systems, leadership models, entrepreneurial ecosystems, territorial development trajectories, and the operating logic of higher education institutions. Particular attention is devoted to crisis settings, including prolonged security challenges and military threats, where digital technologies function not only as efficiency instruments but also as mechanisms of continuity, adaptation, and recovery.

The monograph is intended for researchers, business executives, managers, policymakers, educators, and graduate students who require a coherent and integrative framework for understanding digital transformation and its implications for organizational resilience, economic development, and educational modernization. By positioning digitalization within the broader agenda of resilience and sustainable socio-economic development, it contributes to scholarly debate, supports interdisciplinary research, and encourages the development of accountable strategies suited to high-uncertainty contexts
