Modern economy as a system of interconnected digital platforms

Abstract

The concept of “digital platform” in the economy is discussed. Four types of digital platforms are introduced: industry, functional, administrative, instrumental. The place and forms of placement of digital platforms in the organizational structure of the digital economy are considered. An approach to the presentation of the information infrastructure of the modern economy as a system of interconnected digital platforms is presented. Qualitatively new opportunities are shown for implementing on the proposed basis such applied tasks as integrated information services for economic activity participants, distance trading, the formation of a small business cluster in the scientific and industrial sectors of the economy, targeted advertising and a bulletin board.
