Industry Ecosystems of Digital Platforms in Public Governance

The relevance of this study stems from the key role of digital platforms in public governance in the modern world. Transformation of the digital economy’s architecture based on industry ecosystems of digital platforms (IEDPs) is outpacing the development of a corresponding theoretical and methodological framework, which necessitates a comprehensive scientific understanding of this issue. The research objective was to develop a conceptual framework for the development of IEDPs as a tool for increasing labor productivity. Such increased efficiency is achieved through three interrelated processes: the establishment of new industry standards based on unified digital platforms; the transition to algorithmic regulation and transactional taxation during the integration of IEDPs; and the formation of a metasystem for solving macro-level problems through the synergy of order parameters. The methodological basis consists of a comparative and structural-functional analysis. The given article considers conceptual approaches to creating the architecture of the abovementioned ecosystems, demonstrates their effectiveness in a public-private partnership format that maintains a balance between government regulation and the autonomy of digital participants. The results obtained can be used by government agencies in developing regulatory policies and designing IEDPs, opening up prospects for scientifically assessing the effectiveness of digital platform types and their impact on the quality of public administration.
