The purpose of this chapter is to study perspectives of formation of the optimization model of a well-balanced information economy in modern Russia.
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this chapter is to study perspectives of formation of the optimization model of a well-balanced information economy in modern Russia.
Methodology
The research methodology includes the complex SWOT analysis of the environment, wherein the optimization model of a well-balanced information economy in modern Russia is implemented; this analysis allows determining threats and possibilities for its formation. Also, the method of formalization is used that allows tablulation of results.
Result
The authors show a number of prerquisites for the formation of a well-balanced information economy in Russia, as well as multiple internal barriers on the path of its development. One of the barriers is deficit of resources. Also, there exist large perspectives of formation of the optimization model of a well-balanced information economy. These perspectives include improvement of legal conditions of financing of development of digital economy, intensive development of the ICT spheres and online business, growth of innovational activity and efficiency in the information sphere, and creation and stimulation of implementing the possibilities for feedback in the course of information economy’s formation. Based on the analyzed tendencies, it is concluded that these perspectives will allow overcoming the major barriers on the path of implementation of the strategy of building the optimization model of a well-balanced information economy in modern Russia, related to deficit of resources, structural imbalance of the noosphere, low efficiency of information, and linear direction of the process of management of information economy.
Recommendations
The authors determine that successful practical implementation of this strategy is largely predetermined by the capability of state regulators for a highly effective management of internal and external factors. It is recommended to pay attention to the management of these factors in the process of practical implementation of the strategy of forming the optimization model of a well-balanced information economy in modern Russia.

The purpose of this chapter is to develop a new perspective model of well-balanced information economy.
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this chapter is to develop a new perspective model of well-balanced information economy.
Methodology
The methodological tools of this work are based on application of the method of comparative analysis for comparing the old and the new model of information economy, modeling of socio-economic systems, simplex-method as an algorithm for solving the optimization task of linear programming, related to improvement of the conceptual model of information economy, and the method of formalization for graphical presentation of a new model of information economy.
Results
The developed and presented author’s perspective model of information economy envisages balancing in four main directions: infrastructural possibilities and readiness for their practical usage by society and business; state regulation and market self-management; existing and new information; and external information exchange. Despite the clarity and strictness of conceptual settings, the new model is peculiar for increased flexibility and adaptation to the peculiarities of the socio-economic practice of economic system. Thus, the new model of well-balanced information economy allows overcoming all drawbacks – logical mismatches and contradictions – of the existing (old) model of information economy.
Recommendations
Due to optimization of the conceptual model, its practical implementation in economic activities of modern socio-economic systems becomes possible – as a result of which, with accumulation of experience, it will be possible to assess true value of the idea of information economy’s formation for humanity and the global economic system.

The purpose of this chapter is to study institutional contradictions in the existing concept of institutional economy.
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this chapter is to study institutional contradictions in the existing concept of institutional economy.
Methodology
The authors use the methodology of neo-institutional analysis, based on qualitative description and modeling of the process of institutionalization of socioeconomic phenomena and processes, logical analysts of their essence, advantages and drawbacks, and the method of graphical presentation of information (method of formalization).
Results
Graphical interpretation of institutional economy as a social institute on qualitative analysis reflects the determined institutional contradictions of this concept that are related to the dual character of the role of information, violation of the logic of the process of institutionalization, and uncertainty toward information exchange. The authors determine the institutional gaps in the conceptual model of information economy that show a necessity for the development of its methodological provision.
Recommendations
The determined logical mismatches in the model of information economy show nonoptimality of its concept and existence of perspectives, which depicts a necessity for its improvement – which is the main recommendation of the authors.

The purpose of this chapter is to determine the basic preconditions to information economy’s formation in modern Russia.
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this chapter is to determine the basic preconditions to information economy’s formation in modern Russia.
Methodology
The methodology of the research includes the method of comparative analysis, which is used for comparing the values of the indicators of informatization of Russia’s socio-economic system to the indicators of other countries, and the method of trend analysis, which is used for determining the growth rate of these indicators in Russia.
Results
The authors study the dynamics of the values of the indicators of information economy in Russia in 2008-2017 and determine three basic preconditions to the formation of information economy in modern Russia. The first precondition is related to the necessary normative and legal provision of information economy that determines the course at its formation. The second one is related to the readiness of infrastructural provision (mobile communications, the Internet, the system of e-commerce, and online payments) for formation of information economy. The third precondition is vivid progress in informatization of the socio-economic system, as a result of which Russia exceeds the average global level.
Recommendations
It is concluded that Russia has quickly implemented the strategy of modernization of the socio-economic system, creating a platform for formation of information economy.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to define the contribution of intellectual capital (IC) of the board of directors (BDs) in generating IC of a company, to develop a definition of the IC of the BDs, as well as two of its major elements: human capital (knowledge, skills, and experience of board members, etc.), and social capital (relationships and networking opportunities of board members), and to clarify the relationship between these elements and financial performance indicators of companies based on a literature review on the topic.
Design/methodology/approach
A literature review and analysis was applied as this study’s research design.
Findings
The authors suggest that IC is generated not only by company staff, but also by governing bodies, particularly the BDs, whose members are not always under contract with the company in the traditional sense. Members of the board use their knowledge, experience, and networking opportunities to build IC for effective monitoring, advising, and providing the company with resources. In this sense, the BDs serves as a source of IC for a company, being the main internal corporate governance mechanism that leads to value creation in a company, taking into consideration the interests of all stakeholders.
Practical implications
The research indicates that the personal characteristics of board members may influence the performance of a company. Therefore, companies should be recommended to carefully select candidates for nomination to the board.
Originality/value
This study contributes to further development of the concept of IC of the BDs by bringing together the theory in the field and the empirical results of studies on the various elements of board capital in a company’s value creation.
