Institutional contradictions of digital transformation in military education

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the institutional contradictions that arise in the process of digital transformation of military education in Russia. Based on the institutional-logical approach, the author considers digital transformation as a fundamental sociotechnical process that requires the adaptation of culture, values, and management principles to the digital era. The barriers to digital transformation of military education are viewed as a mismatch between the normative and value foundations of military service and digital development. The study identifies three key contradictions between military and digital institutional logic: between the principles of secrecy and openness, hierarchy and flexibility, and collectivism and individualism.
