Development of Entrepreneurial Competencies in the Economy (Evidence From Digital Entrepreneurship)

1) Targeting, i.e. analysis and research of industrial sectors in order to assess competitiveness and development prospects. This work requires the involvement of research agencies, obtaining relevant insights, identifying growth drivers, organizing communication of results, etc. The research results should be used for further planning and reducing risks for potential investors;

2) Informatization of industry, or a program aimed at education and transfer of best practices of IT sector and digital industries to industrial sectors. At present, the industrial sectors lag far behind the trends, technologies, and opportunities of the digital market. The lack of practices on Industry 4.0 driving technologies, as well as insufficient knowledge of innovation and investment management, and managing approaches (agile, scrum) are real obstacles to Industry 4.0. The informatization of the industry should result in the creation of joint competent groups consisting of representatives of IT and digital industries, on the one hand, and industry, on the other hand, focused on cooperation and development of new products and services;

3) Engineering clusters. Powerful developers in industrial engineering have the opportunity to dramatically affect industrial innovation, R&D, export marketing, etc. The activities of the industrial engineering companies are aimed at exactly the development of new industrial products, generation of ideas, industrial design, prototyping, and the like. Economy industries such as food and processing industry, metallurgical engineering, and agriculture, are the most promising for the creation and development of industrial engineering;

4) Industry roadmaps of digital transformation. Creating roadmaps of digital transformation aims at the search, development, and implementation of appropriate actions and initiatives towards digitalization of industries. For many sectors, this is a plan for recovery, enhancing competitiveness and, in some cases, return to the economic environment.

Conclusion

Mass dissemination of information and communication technologies contributes to the formation of network relations and the emergence of information networks built on the interaction of individual members of society. The increase in information pressure on a person through the saturation of everyday life with new technologies makes the previous algorithms for obtaining information and its processing insufficiently effective.

Creating programs, holding training, improving continuously the digital competencies level of entrepreneurs is an urgent need for economic development at the present stage. Forming professionally competent personnel can improve the quality of work performed and ensure high labor efficiency in a competitive environment. This requires using the ways and methods, such as public dissemination of digital competencies, restructuring of the secondary education system, reorganizing university education, enhancing corporate education, building educational platforms, and encouraging the mastery of digital competences at the microlevel. To develop the potential of Industry 4.0 in Russia, it is important to implement the following initiatives: targeting; informatization of industry, or a program of education and transfer of best practices of IT sector and digital industries to industrial sectors; creating engineering clusters, and developing sectoral roadmaps of digital transformations. Thus, creating and implementing the national curriculum of general and professional digital competencies/knowledge is a priority on the way towards the accelerated development of the digital economy.
