Objects of research, development or design:
Digital transformation of agro-industrial enterprises in Kazakhstan
The purpose of the project / program: Development of theoretical and methodological substantiation of the process of digital transformation of agro-industrial enterprise of Kazakhstan on the basis of management decision-making in the conditions of adaptation to the requirements of consumers, regulators and economic conjuncture.
As a result of the realization of the set tasks, the formation of valuable scientific results is expected, representing a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the digital transformation of the agro-industrial complex on the example of agro-enterprise of the livestock industry.
Based on the realization of the set objectives, the following results are expected to be obtained:
1. a comprehensive assessment of the digital transformation potential for agro-industrial enterprises in Kazakhstan will be developed, including analysis of the current state, identification of potential opportunities and barriers, and development of strategic directions for digitalization.
2. a detailed analysis of key business processes and management decisions required for digital transformation will be performed. Key areas for the implementation of digital technologies and innovations will be identified.
3. standards and procedures will be developed to manage the digital transformation process, based on a scientific approach and study of best international practices, including recommendations for the introduction and adaptation of digital technologies.
4. Digital transformation models will be created for each process group of agrocluster enterprises using the method of network analysis according to T. Saaty’s methodology. The models will cover production, logistics and administrative processes.
5. A generalized model of digital transformation will be developed and successfully tested on the basis of «KTK-888» LLP. The model includes a new management decision-making system adapted to digital technologies.
6. A cost-effectiveness justification will be prepared and recommendations on the size of government subsidies to stimulate digital transformation in the livestock sector will be proposed.
7. Two scientific articles or reviews will be prepared and published in a peer-reviewed scientific publication indexed in Social Science Citation Index, Arts and Humanities Citation Index and (or) Web of Science database and (or) having a CiteScore percentile in Scopus database not less than 35 (thirty-five). In addition, 5 articles will be published in domestic editions recommended by the Committee for Quality Assurance in the Field of Science and Higher Education of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
8. Based on the results of the study, a monograph in Russian is expected to be prepared
9. The results of the study will be disseminated among potential users, the scientific community and the general public through participation in international conferences and scientific and methodological workshops. It is also envisaged to develop proposals and recommendations for the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry.
10. Expected scientific and socio-economic effect. It has to be stated that currently there are practically no works devoted to a full-fledged comprehensive study of the problems of forming business models of the agro-industrial sector in the current conditions of digital transformation challenges. All the planned scientific results are new, are not reduced to insignificant modifications of previously conducted research, are in line with the main world trends, will have an important scientific and socio-economic significance. They can be used in the development of strategic and programme documents on sustainable development, digitalisation and increasing the competitiveness of the agro-industrial sector, development projects of agro-industrial companies.
11. Applicability and/or commercializability of the obtained scientific results. The results of the conducted research provide valuable information materials that can be very useful in the implementation of the development strategy of the agro-industrial complex (AIC) of the Republic of Kazakhstan
