Methodological Aspects of Strategic Controlling of Digital Transformation of Transport and Logistics System

Abstract

The present technological mode featuring the use of end-to-end digital platforms and technologies has caused transition of the transport branch to the qualitatively new development level intellectualisation of transportation organization. An important condition for provision of competitiveness of the national transport and logistical system in the world market of transport services is intensification of innovative activity of economic subjects in accordance with the main vector of its development increase of the speed of delivery of cargoes and transportation of passengers. To raise efficiency and productivity of the process of digital transformation on transport, it is proposed to use the tool of strategic controlling. The article describes the main issues of methodology of strategic controlling in part of building its basic element the system of indices of innovative activity closely tied with the purposes of its implementation corresponding to the specificity of transport and logistical activity and expectations of its key stakeholders. The article describes the main feasibilities and threats of presently used and prospective digital solutions in transport which are recommended to be considered during upgrading of transport and logistical system. To solve the tasks of the research work, indicative method of planning was used, and also methods of expert estimates, generalisation, grouping, probability and impact matrix. The proposed system of indices of innovative development of transport and logistical system is designed to provide successful and efficient achievement of its strategic goals in the area of digital transformation, monitoring of innovative activity of economic subjects on micro-, mesoand macro levels of management. Revelation of the present day challenges of digital development of transport generates the basis for preparation of activities aimed at increase of efficiency of transport and logistical system functioning, achievement of the maximum positive synergetic effect by all the participants of transport process.
