Analysis of successful practices and determination of promising directions for implementing innovations in the sphere of housing and communal services in Russia by R. Kh. Mutolapov

“…The use of the most advanced and promising digital technologies is at an extremely low level, and the digital solutions applied in the activities of companies in the industry demonstrate extremely low efficiency rates, and most of them have virtually no significant impact on the work of the organisations. We believe that the negative experience of investing in the digital infrastructure is the reason for low involvement of the HUS companies in the fourth industrial revolution and low indicators of the innovative development on a national scale.…”
