System Approach in Digitalization of Management

Abstract

The development and widespread dissemination of digital technologies in almost all sectors of the economy and management has led to radical changes in the nature of project management, which in turn has created new problems in organizing project activities. An analysis of the impact of digital technologies on modern business processes in the sectors of material production and services made it possible to identify changes in the functions and knowledge requirements of system theories. This necessitates the search for new approaches to project management, changes in the forms and content of project activities both inside the company and at the level of public project management. The authors consider many concepts of system theory in the work. The lack of a single concept of the system leads to the absence of a standardized definition of this concept, equally understood in various areas of project management. The authors examine the evolution of the definition of the meaning of “system”. It’s noted that the theory of systems can be defined as the totality of an object or subject of study of system theory, as well as the methodology and methods of the management process. The studies conducted by the authors indicate that, in connection with the digitalization of the business, it’s important to revise project management taking into account the methodology of system approaches. The authors propose a system of measures to ensure the development of the corporate project management system in the organization in response to the challenges of global technological changes and the complexity of production and public relations, which leads to a noticeable lag in the methodology for the formation and application of new terms in digitalization.
