Models of Modern Information Economy

The concept of an information economy is considered by some to be a new branch of economic theory, and by others as the next stage of development for an economy post-industrialization. Leading and developing economies are seeking to quickly develop a functional information economy in order to help overcome the consequences of the global financial crisis and ensure high global economic competitiveness. This book analyzes modern conceptualmodels of information economies, highlighting and examining their systemiccontradictions and failings. It explores the disconnection between the readiness of the technical infrastructure for forming and developing the information economy, and an unprepared institutional and societal structure that is therefore unable to implement these processes and models. The editors present different approaches to solving these methodological and practicalcontradictions and lay out future models across different internationalcontexts. They also provide recommendations for optimizing their theoretical model and improving its implementation in modern economic systems.

“Russian economists who specialize in the evolution and modernization of economic systems present results of their scientific, methodological, and applied research into the information economy, which they find to be the pinnacle of economic evolution. They cover a theoretical model of the modern information economy, practical experience of formation of an information economy model, peculiarities of the information economy in modern Russia, logical disparities of the model of an information economy, recommendations for optimizing the model, key characteristics of the optimization model of a well-balanced information economy, methodological provisions of monitoring and control over implementing the optimization model, and adapting the optimization model to modern Russia's economy.”
