Abstract

To a large extent, in the domestic branch of agriculture, the decline in the technological level of production, the slowdown of investment and innovation processes are caused by the insufficient level of information and technological support of their economic activities. The use of modern information technologies in comparison with traditional ones for agriculture has a significant advantage in terms of speed and quality of data transmission, improving the accumulation, analysis, and use of information. The purpose of the study is to assess the level of validity of decision-making by the management of agricultural enterprises in the sphere of IT-technologies of their economic activity. The level of informatization and computerization of separate spheres of activity of agricultural enterprises in Rostov region has been assessed. The existence of a direct relationship between the size of the enterprise and the level of its informatization has been substantiated. It was revealed that there is no connection between the list of spheres of economic activity, within which agricultural enterprises introduce information and computer technologies, and the spheres of economic activity, in which the management expects significant positive changes in case of development of the corresponding processes. The main problems of using Internet technologies in agricultural enterprises have been identified.
