Changes in the market and in management tools in accordance with classical, neoclassical management, modern managerial paradigm and anticipative management are shown. It is proved that the transition from hierarchy to network connections and interactions determines the transition from the laws of traditional management – i. e., the requirements for greater diversity, complexity of the management system, fragmentation and simplification of lower hierarchies to ensure stability – to equal interaction and equal access to network resources. The mechanisms of implementation as of now are networking, cross-functional interactions, testing of the experience of forming «turquoise organizations» with decentralization of management, which should be supported by development institutions at the State level – the cultivation of national digital networks in the interests of development and preservation of labor and intellectual potential.

The conception of management of industrial enterprises in the context of digital transformations has been developed, which provides for a timely change in the business model and the introduction of digital tools, preservation of the labor and intellectual potential of enterprises, increasing customer loyalty, scaling up activities in the domestic and foreign markets. Prospects for further research are seen as follows: digital approaches make it possible to deepen the theory of the network economy, which opens up directions for its further in-depth research on the formation of network structures.
