Organizational and Economic Model of Digital Transformation in the Regional Light Industry: Mechanisms and Forecast to 2030 (evidence From Bukhara Region, Uzbekistan)
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The article proposes an organisational and economic model for managing the digital transformation of light industry enterprises as a driver of regional economic development. Based on an empirical assessment of 25 textile enterprises in the Bukhara region, which revealed a moderate and uneven level of digital maturity (mean Digital Transformation Index, RTI = 0.506), the model transforms digital transformation from a spontaneous process into a managed, phased, and measurable five-stage cycle comprising diagnostics, strategy, infrastructure, implementation, and monitoring. The model is differentiated according to digital maturity groups, with the validity of the grouping confirmed by analysis of variance (ANOVA; F = 79.76; p < 0.001). Three supporting mechanisms are substantiated: a regional digital competence centre, a multi-source financing system, and a digital export platform. A three-scenario forecast to 2030 indicates that, under the target scenario, the regional RTI will increase from 0.45 to 0.80, labour productivity will rise by 60%, and textile exports will grow by 77%, with an investment efficiency ratio of 10.08.
