Abstract

Introduction. The article is devoted to the consideration of theoretical and methodological issues of the transition from traditional organizational structures of management of industrial enterprises to new forms of organizational structures demanded by the modern stage of technological development. The industrial development of the global economy and technological breakthroughs in production invariably become an impulse to change the management system of enterprises. Technologies are changing quite a lot in society, making more and more demands on the competencies of employees. Such transformations initiate shifts in the corporate culture of the enterprise, forcing owners and management to move away from the traditional management paradigm. The article attempts to generalize and systematize the existing organizational structures of industrial enterprises and identify trends in their transformation in the context of the development of Industry 4.0 in the context of digitalization in the knowledge management framework. Studies of organizational structures within the framework of the industrial development of the economy have been conducted and patterns of transformation of management mechanisms and paradigms have been identified. A fractal model of the organizational structure is proposed in the proposed evolutionary change in the management paradigm, which is gradually changing its targets in the context of social transformation.

Materials and methods. The research is based on materials from different years on the organizational and cultural transformation of business due to technological changes. General scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, and generalization are used. The experience of global business shows that these two factors are interconnected. Recent studies [30] of European enterprises show a different degree of receptivity of corporate culture and organizational management structure to innovative transformation related to Industry 4.0 technologies and digitalization of business processes.

Research results. The industrial development of the global economy and technological breakthroughs in production invariably become an impulse to change the management system of enterprises. This study shows the most diverse forms of organizational management structures, which nevertheless have a similar methodology within the framework of a single management paradigm. Technologies are changing quite a lot in society, making more and more demands on the competencies of employees involved in the entire life cycle of industrial products, which is inevitably reflected in the management paradigm.

Discussion and conclusion. On the threshold of the fourth industrial revolution, in addition to tectonic technological shifts, we expect no less grandiose organizational and managerial transformations in order to fully utilize the potential and advantages inherent in the new Industry 4.0 solutions.
