The empirical base characterizing the joint use of the latest technologies and approaches to the management and organization of activities is collected, which provides insight into the technological and organizational complexity of modern production activities and allows researchers to situate both individual enterprises and types of economic activities in this system of coordinates.
• The digital transformation of enterprises. The extent to which key digital technologies have been implemented is measured. At the same time, the joint monitoring of digitalization and innovative development of organizations provides a unique level of system elaboration and mutual linkage of these areas of research.
