TECHNOLOGICAL CONVERGENCE IN THE SYSTEM OF STRUCTURAL SHIFTS: A STUDY OF A NEW TYPE OF ECONOMIC CHANGE

The placement of industrial production on a new convergent-technological basis determines the optimal structural proportions of the economic system and the possibility of establishing the country's competitiveness. The current structure of the economy of Kazakhstan is a factor hindering its innovative development. The acuteness of the problem of ensuring technological parity with developed countries creates the need for a critical understanding of the principles and forms of structural changes, the main factor of which is convergent-type technologies and the involvement of a new product in market turnover, its diffusion. In addition, in the context of increasing equilibrium, intensity of fluctuations and high entropy of market processes, the demand for the development and implementation of state industrial policies focused on advanced development in order to overcome technological backwardness increases. The implementation of this policy is designed to ensure a deep modernization of the basic sectors of the economy with the simultaneous development of production areas that are most promising in the context of technological convergence and focused on the technologies of a new technological structure. The development of theoretical provisions for structural transitions in the context of the development of convergent-type technologies makes it possible to initiate structural transitions of positive quality within the framework of convergent-type technologies.
