Features of the Development of Digital Platforms in the Context of the Transformation of the Modern Economy

The subject of the research is digital platforms and the ecosystems they form as a key factor in the transformation of modern economic and managerial processes. The aim of the work is to identify the mechanisms of influence of digital platforms on economic systems and to develop methodological foundations for managing digital transformation, taking into account new paradigms of network interaction. The methodological basis of the research is based on a systematic combination of general scientific and special methods, which provided depth of theoretical understanding, reliability of the results and practical significance of the conclusions for the tasks of digital transformation of the economy. The architecture of digital platforms, including their structural components and coordination mechanisms of ecosystem participants, has been studied. The main factors of the effectiveness of platform solutions are identified: decentralization of management, stimulation of innovation activity and harmonization of architectural solutions with management systems. The process of transformation of traditional economic models under the influence of platform solutions is studied, which is expressed in the transition from hierarchical structures to network forms of organization. The study concluded that digital platforms are becoming a backbone element of the modern economy, forming new value creation mechanisms, but their rapid development requires a rethink of traditional management approaches, greater attention to adaptability, ecosystem integration and data management as a key asset of the digital economy.
