The aspects of digitalization of the economy, including those at the corporate level, are considered. The concept of “knowledge management” is analyzed from the point of view of foreign researchers; it is noted that knowledge has become an important intangible asset and a factor of competitiveness. The main results of knowledge customization (knowledge maps, knowledge packages, resource catalogs, forums and chats, practice communities, storytelling, corporate blogs, and a bank of ideas) are distinguished.
