Electronics inventory as the foundation of a breakthrough into global leadership

Objectives . In the context of aggressive sanctions and unfriendly behavior of competitors, the multi-sectoral structure of the Russian economy is undergoing a process of rapidly restructuring to increase its competitiveness and import independence. The locomotive of this process is the electronic industry, whose products influence almost all aspects of the economy and society. This indicates the decisive role of the electronic industry in the lives of Russians. Thus, the inventorization of the productive forces of the electronic industry presented in this article constitutes a necessary step towards an effective and optimal solution to the problems at hand. Methods . Classical methods of studying the socioeconomic relations of a complex system are used to consider the example of the electronic industry along with its sub-sectors, enterprises, and other organizational forms. The system analysis method is applied to management problems emerging at three levels: macro-, meso- and micro-level. The induction method of inventory management is supplemented by the deduction method representing an analytical movement from the electronic industry as an integral system to individual factors of the reproduction process. Results . The first step of a practically feasible implementation chain of digital technologies in industry management should consist in an inventory of all reproduction factors. The presented rationale and detailed inventory program are compiled into a management block diagram in the format of digital twins of electronic industry enterprises. Conclusions . The barriers facing the Russian electronic industry in the form of foreign competitors are not insurmountable. Sanctions and unfriendly actions of foreign competitors represent an opportunity the Russian electronics industry to overcome such barriers to significantly accelerate the scientific and technological, organizational, and managerial development of the industry. The country’s leadership and industry actors are aggressively implementing a program for developing the electronic industry as the locomotive of the entire economy. The inventory presented in this article will serve to facilitate a resurgence of the Russian electronics industry with respect to foreign competitors.
