Review: This article explores the peculiarities of the digitalization of business process management within the framework of diversification of production in the military-industrial complex (MIC) companies of the Russian Federation and foreign countries (United States, Germany, France, Great Britain and China). The authors note that with proper organization of business management MIC can provide stable economic growth and national security in general. Speaking of the concept of transition towards diversification, the authors highlight the causes why it is not yet formed, including unreadiness of some industries to manufacture products of dual designation and the need for import substitution. Based on the analysis of foreign experience in diversification and digitalization of the military-industrial complex, the authors come to the conclusion that the new MIC structure requires improvements, and determine strategies, realization of which will allow achieving this goal. This will require conversion of excess and technologically outdated production capacities, as well as determining and developing critical defense technologies among other tasks.

Review: The goal of this work consists in examination of the questions of food security and independence applicable to manufacturing of meat products in the Russian Federation, and suggest paying attention to the existing approaches towards the development of agricultural markets, which often destabilize situation in achieving economic efficiency of the work of the processing industries of national economy. It is underlined that for implementation of the Food Security Doctrine in decision-making systems, it is necessary to use multifactor method or multiple-criteria approach towards development assessment. Using the balance method along with logical, comparative and economic-statistical analysis, the author explores the dynamics of meat production and implementation of the Food Security Doctrine with regards to Russia’ s import substitution policy. The conclusion is made that ensuring food security and independence of meat production are possible only in terms of forecasting the internal and external threats to the country’s food security, with implementation of multifactor approach towards assessment of the economic resources and potential, finding compromise solutions for achieving the maximum effect from allocation of the resources.
