Enterprise Digitalization: Object, Goals and Main Actors of the Process

The relevance of the topic is due to the explosive intensification of the process of digitalization of the global economy and the associated large-scale transformation of the economic environment towards the mass use of digital information and communication technologies. The purpose of the work is to form a methodological basis and determine the algorithm of practical actions for the digitalization of the enterprise.

Based on the results of retrospective and functional analyses, the author identifies the causes of global digitalization and proves the relevance and inevitability of this process for enterprises. Using elements of factorial and comparative analyses, the paper identifies the object, stages, goals and actors of the enterprise's digitalization process and its main directions, as well as identifies potential risks. Applying situational analysis and an evidence-based approach, the researcher substantiates the inevitability of abandoning the analog format and the expediency of switching to a digital business format, as well as the need to constantly strengthen the digital potential and increase the digital maturity of the enterprise.

The scientific novelty of the work is to clarify the concept of "enterprise digitalization" and substantiate the continuous nature of the process during the organization's life cycle.

The disclosure of the topic will form the basis for continuing scientific research in the field of digitalization of financial and economic activities of economic entities and become a methodological basis for developing digitalization strategies for specific enterprises.
