Abstract:
The study aimed to determine the positional content of the use of high technology in the system of solidarity of community members in the implementation of business processes to ensure efficiency in the socio-environmental and economic development triad. The general research methodology was based on a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of introducing high technology into the solidarity economy according to the following predictors: digitalization, informatization, and professionalization levels. Blockchain technology (N = 3,073 projects) was selected as an example of high technology, which is used to stimulate the decentralization of the economy and strengthen social influence in the solidarity economy. The use of complex research methods to achieve this goal — situational analysis, systems analysis, reproductive analysis, and structural-functional analysis — was proposed as the generalizing evaluation block. The research results confirmed the main hypothesis: the higher the level of socioeconomic development of the solidarity economy model in terms of digitalization (r=0.866), informatization (r = 0.754), and professionalization (r = 0.564), the more efficient socially-oriented business models that involve high technologies are in a particular territory. The study also shows that the blockchain can provide additional (65% of projects) and transformational solutions (25% of projects) for alternative energy projects.
