THE ROLE OF IT BUSINESS IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF UKRAINE'S ECONOMY UNDER CONDITIONS OF WAR

Анотація

The transformational processes of the Ukrainian economy since 1991 have been a deeply researched topic among Ukrainian economists.Retrospective analytical studies by Ukrainian economists [1] indicate a predominantly unsuccessful government policy in the implementation and control of structural-sectoral transformation programs and strategies.Furthermore, the processes of transformational change have a tendency to slow down and fade, thus becoming a new norm, which leads to increased uncertainty and a weakening of the economic system's development potential.Against the backdrop of the general vulnerability of the Ukrainian economy to transformational crises, the IT sector has demonstrated unique resilience in the conditions of a full-scale war, maintaining significant export potential.However, the analysis of the sector's resilience is often limited to general indicators, overlooking a key internal structural changethe outstripping development of product companies compared to service ones, which is crucial for its future.Supporting this trend is critically important for the formation of state innovation policy, as it is product companies that create higher added value and have greater potential for inter-sectoral integration.The aim of this work is to substantiate the strategic guidelines for the transformation of Ukraine's IT business through an analysis of its key drivers of resilience, in particular, the structural shift towards product companies.The methodological basis of the research is the analysis of statistical reports from IT associations, government innovation strategies, and labor market data.The draft innovation strategy from the Ministry of Digital Transformation [2] defines the achievement of the economic aspect of the goal through the development of innovative goods and services, deregulation, unlocking private initiative, etc.One of the strategy's objectives is to expand the Diia.City legal framework and create the Science.City legal framework to stimulate the creation of knowledge-intensive companies and startups, science parks, and other joint ventures between public institutions and private companies.The IT business is the foundation for potential growth in these areas, as it demonstrates resilience to war risks through the rapid adaptation of the sector's labor market and the business in general.
