Abstract: Digital technologies in management of companies are becoming a challenge for the managers and employees, as the use of these technologies requires not only changes in management processes and in the organization of managers’ work but as well demand special knowledge and skills. The authors have looked into the uses of digital technologies and problems, which Russian managers face when dealing with them, and it is evident, that management education should be adjusted to meet the needs of digitalization. At the same time, digitalization provides new opportunities for the development of management education through the distant technologies that widen the access to MBA programs to those students who could not afford themselves in-class studies. One of the spheres of management, strongly influenced by digitalization, is Human Resource Management. The changes here start with the new digital forms of job search and selection of applicants, include digital methods of monitoring and control of the workers, and finally lead to electronic HR records and predictive analytics. New challenges for management and employees were formed by the pressure of involuntary transfer to the remoted jobs due to COVID-19 pandemic. The research analyzes the issues related to the new tasks for management and new forms and methods of education in digital economy. The study is based on the results of the survey conducted in 2020 among the students and graduates of MBA program of Economic Faculty of Moscow State Lomonosov University.
