Institutional and technological features of global and Russian instrument engineering in the context of industrial transformation
Abstract. In the context of increasing fragmentation of the global economy and transition to a new paradigm of industrial organization based on digitalization, platform technologies and strategic sovereignty, the study of institutional and technological features of instrument engineering acquires special importance. The article explores the evolution of instrument engineering as a separate sector in industrial systems, including its institutionalization in the Western economies and the planned-centralized model in the USSR with subsequent disintegration of the industry in the post-Soviet period. The aim of the study is a comparative analysis of the global and Russian development models of instrument engineering complex from the standpoint of institutional density, managerial architecture and technological maturity. The main institutional asymmetries hindering integration of the Russian industry into global value chains have been identified, the scope of possible convergence through cluster cooperation, implementation of platform solutions and development of digital double ecosystems have been outlined. It was concluded that there is a need fortransition from the import substitution model to the ecosystem architecture of techno-sovereignty as the conditions for formation of competitive instrument engineering in the context of industrial transformation.
Keywords: institutional density, techno-sovereignty, digital twins, GVCs, instrument engineering, cluster cooperation, industrial platform, import substitution, Industry 4.0, governance architecture.
Highlights:
- the institutional and technological determinants of instrument engineering development in the global and Russian conditions are defined;
- a comparative analysis for the models of industry coordination, technology transfer and innovation activity is carried out;
- the barriers are identified: technological gap, sanction vulnerability, institutional fragmentation;
- the project measures are proposed: consortia, open APIs, pilot zones, industrial data platforms.
