Abstract:
Abstract. The study of the transformation of the industrial complex and industrial products
markets, due to its complexity, involves the use of tools that can adequately simulate elaborate
systems of interconnections. The paper aims at developing an agent-based model of
digital transformation of the regional industrial complex. The research methodology relies
on regional economics, game and contract theories, the network approach, as well as the
concepts of new industrialisation and the fourth industrial revolution. The author uses simulation
modelling to study the individual behaviour of agents. As one of its outcomes, the
article provides a methodological rationale for modelling industrial development processes
by simulating the behaviour of interacting agents. The structural elements of the proposed
model include an interaction environment, four classes of agents with individual parameters,
strategies and rules of behaviour, a complex of external stimulating factors and a set of indicators
of a phased digital transformation of an industrial complex. The model development
algorithm consists of three parts: setting the initial state; determining the specific number of
model runs corresponding to the time horizon of calculations; making final calculations and
visually presenting simulation outcomes. The author proposes one of the possible methods to
formalise behaviour rules of heterogeneous agents that includes the choice of the digitalisation
strategy and operational decision-making. The results of the study can offer support for
the practical implementation of the simulation model within a specific computer environment
and lay the foundations for the control system of a region’s industry digitalisation.
