Methodological basis of digital transformation of society in Japan's national strategy

in the first quarter of the 21st century, a rapid process of digitalization of the economy is taking place, changing not only business processes, but infiltrating all spheres of human life. This article reflects the results of the study of the Japanese experience of digitalization of the economy and digital transformation of society. The interest in studying the Japanese experience is since Japan was the first country in the world to adopt the concept of digital transformation of society at the state level. In the process of the study the methods of system, structural, factor and comparative analysis were used. The results of the study led to the conclusion that the methodological basis of the national strategy of Japan on the digital transformation of society is to overcome five barriers, referred to as "walls": "walls" of ministries and agencies, "walls" of the legislative system, "walls" of technology, "walls" of human resources and "walls" of acceptance of innovations by society. Based on overcoming similar barriers, the possibility of adapting positive elements of the Japanese experience for the transition to a digital society in Russia is assessed.
