Subject and goals. In the article, the author presents the results of measuring factors affecting the intersectoral economic and technological effects of the development of digitalization of business processes, allowing to determine the degree of their influence. The purpose of the work is to form a multifactor model for the development of digitalization of enterprise business processes and establish the strength of the significance of the factors included in this model. The empirical basis of the study was the data of the Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge of the Higher School of Economics, the Federal State Statistics Service on the current state of digital and business activity.
Results and conclusions. The author of the work identified and tested several specific hypotheses, the general meaning of which was reduced to the assumption that enterprises at the present stage of economic development in Russia are indeed susceptible to a trend in a rapidly changing digital world, which requires them to quickly and effectively respond to digital development by increasing investment in digital technologies and increasing the intensity of their use in business processes. In particular, hypotheses were expressed and tested about the influence of factors on the digitalization index and the level of business activity of enterprises. The obtained results served as an evidence base for most of the hypotheses put forward, thereby confirming the theoretical assumption about the existence of specific consequences of the digital development of enterprises. The obtained multifactor model for the development of digitalization of business processes of enterprises and the assessment of the significance of the factors included in it will allow enterprises to work out the right decisions in the direction of increasing the level of digitalization.
