Abstract
The article offers an approach to the interpretation of the concepts of “digitalization” and “digital transformation”. It examines the current processes that largely define these concepts — management in an environment of rapidly changing business conditions typical of ongoing digital transformation. The evolution of enterprise management concepts is described from the resource–based J. Barney and M. Porter (RBV, Resource Based View) to the concept of capabilities/abilities (CBV, Capability Based View) by D. Teece. An approach based on dynamic abilities is discussed. There is a growing need for modern enterprise management models and insufficient supply for practical use. The possible development of the concept is considered, an approach of dynamic management based on research on the dynamic abilities of the enterprise is proposed and micro-foundations of employees and managers — properties, the presence of which contributes to successful operation in turbulent conditions. The characteristic features of this approach necessary for the successful implementation of the digital transformation of the enterprise are described.
