Purpose Over the past decade or so, successive Luxembourgish governments have sought to develop the country’s information and communication technologies (ICT) sector. In this paper, the authors will aim to examine how Luxembourg’s relative position in the “Networked Readiness Index” (NRI), a key international benchmarking exercise published by the World Economic Forum, has evolved over time as these ambitions have been achieved. The paper also explores what policy initiatives could be implemented to further improve Luxembourg’s ranking in the NRI. Design/methodology/approach A longitudinal case study-based approach, drawing on secondary data and the annual publication of the NRI between 2003 and 2016, was adopted. Findings Luxembourg’s position in the NRI has improved from 27th in 2003, so that it now ranks among the top ten countries in the world. In particular, Luxembourg has substantially improved its position with regards to “infrastructure” and “international connectivity”. However, there are also areas, mainly linked to education, the provision of human resources and policies that allow for and stimulate entrepreneurship where further improvements appear possible. Social implications The paper highlights the need for an overall, holistic, ICT development strategy. Such a strategy would cover not only cover infrastructural and technical aspects but also educational, social, regulatory and economic issues as well. Originality/value The paper charts the evolution over time of Luxembourg’s position in an important international ICT index and identifies its current strengths and weaknesses in terms of the different elements that constitute the NRI. This paper represents the first attempt to investigate the position of a small country, which are often overlooked in the literature, in terms of its changing position and the policies developed and enacted by a national government.

The purpose of the paper is to identify the common factors and their influence on features of NRI and, as a result, the impact on the competitiveness and well-being of Ukraine. The most influential economic indicators for the similar economic changes in the European countries are determined. Exploratory factor analysis has been used to uncover the underlying structure of relationships between measured variables that constructs the value of the Networked Readiness Index (NRI). Methodology. This research is based on a materials for the Eastern European countries, including Ukraine, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania, which have been used for the numerical evaluation of the data. The selection criterion for these countries is in many respects a similar evolutionary path of market economy development. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is used to investigate possible relationships between variables that are unique factors and NRI. In this case, EFA is used to analyze the relationship between Environment subindex (Political and regulatory environment with Business and innovation environment), Readiness subindex (Infrastructure, Affordability and Skills), Usage subindex (Individual usage, Business usage, and Government usage) and Impact subindex (Economic impacts and Social impacts) or observable variables and how it is affected by total summary NRI. As the predefined structure has not been set, EFA is used to measure the underlying factors that affect the variables in the data structure. Selecting factors and variables so as to avoid too much similarity of characteristics is also important. The set of subindexes values is divided on 31 variables corresponding to the reports' data. EFA has been carried out on R programming language for statistical computing by using environment and graphics supported by the R Foundation for Statistical Computing (GNU project). Results. Data dependency estimation for the macroeconomically significant Network Readiness Index has been implemented. It is proposed to construct a space of constituent parameters. Eigenvectors have been obtained for an array of data for the economies of eight European countries, which allow us to estimate the general development trends for macroeconomic decision-making problems. In particular, three complex factors are identified. Practical implications. The vectors determine change of the constructs of the value of the Networked Readiness Index of countries. EFA with dataset rawfl, method is maximum likelihood, diagonals of the correlation matrix are equal to squared multiple correlations. PA test is carried out to compute the eigenvalues for the correlation matrix. The study also made it possible to forecast the pace of development of information technology under the influence of the global viral pandemic COVID 19, which will launch a global economic and social recession. Value/originality. The algorithm proposed in this research is proved improving of discriminating between indicators in construct of the value the Networked Readiness Index.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays it is generally accepted that information and communication technologies (ICT) are important drivers and ?enabling? technologies that have a broad impact on many sectors of the economy and social life. Therefore, measuring the level of ICT development, their economic and social impact, and the country?s readiness to use them are of great importance. In this paper we present the conceptual framework of the Networked Readiness Index (NRI) proposed by the World Economic Forum, and analyse the relative position of Serbia and its ?distance? from the EU member states in the domain of NRI indicator variables. For this purpose we have applied the Kohonen Self-Organizing Map (the SOM algorithm), which provides the visual image, as a virtual map, of observed countries and their groupings. The resulting SOM map indicates that in the complex NRI space, Serbia is located in a group of EU states that includes Romania, Croatia, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic, and the Slovak Republic. In comparison to other countries, this group shows the poorest performance in the NRI landscape. In addition, our empirical analysis points to the areas in which policy intervention can boost the impact of ICT on Serbian economic development and growth.

This study analyses the influence of economic digitalization on economic growth in MENA region. We applied a system GMM estimator on a sample composed of 15 MENA countries from the period of 2012 to 2016. We used the Networked Readiness Index (NRI) to capture the economic digitalization. The results show that the digitalization is positively associated with economic growth. All the NRI sub-indexes variables seem to be positively significant; however, skills and education variables are not significant. This study recommends the MENA governments to invest more in ICT, especially in ICT human capital to enhance economic growth in the region, and use efficiently labor force when adopting the frontier technology.

The digital environment has become an essential part of everyday life, work, and education. Digital skills are crucial for personal and professional success in today’s technological age. OECD and EU statistics indicate that approximately 90% of job positions require digital skills at various levels. The more skilled and adept employees are in businesses, the more the company progresses, which subsequently influences the country’s economic growth and development. Different indices have been created to compare the digital performance of countries. One of the most used is The Networked Readiness Index (NRI) and The Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI). The aim of the article is to describe the levels of digital skills of citizens and compare the level of digital skills in Slovakia and EU countries in the year 2022. The data will be obtained from the databases of the mentioned NRI and DESI indices.

Abstract An assessment of the degree of the development of the digital economy in Poland in comparison to chosen European countries is the main purpose of the paper. The methodology of the conducted research is based on the analysis of secondary sources and applying statistical methods. In order to make the comparison in methodically correct manner, synthetic measures of the development of the e-economy were used in the form of two indexes: NRI (Networked Readiness Index) and DESI (Digital Economy and Society Index). On the basis of available statistical data, four European countries were confronted with Poland. Results of the analysis indicate a relatively unfavorable situation of Poland.

Full textAbstract:
Digitalization involves an increase in the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in all areas of the economy and all domains of the functioning of a society. Technologies of this kind affect the level of competitiveness of economies. The aim of the article is to compare the levels of competitiveness of European Union countries in the field of information and communication technologies, on the basis of indices developed by international institutions.The European Commission, World Economic Forum and Eurostat databases were used for comparative analysis of economies. Synthetic indices, such as the 9th pillar of the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI Pillar 9), the European Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) and the Networked Readiness Index (NRI) were used to compare the levels of digitalization of the economies. The actual individual consumption (AIC) value was adopted as an indicator of the wealth of EU economies. Changes in single indices were analysed as follows: in the NRI in 2014–2016, in the GCI Pillar 9 in 2015–2017 and in the DESI in 2016–2018, while the multi-character classification of countries according to the three variables (the NRI, DESI and GCI Pillar 9) was performed for the year 2016. Ward's hierarchical method and non-hierarchical analysis of k-means clusters were used to this effect. The multiple regression model revealed relationships between the welfare level measured by the AIC and the level of digitalization. The NRI turned out to be the best predictor. The results of the analysis indicate that there are still differences between the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ EU countries in terms of the development of the ICT sector.

Indonesia sedang berada dalam era revolusi industri 4.0 yang mana untuk menghadapi era tersebut diperlukan kesiapan dari berbagai sisi terutama masyarakat. Era ini dapat memberikan keuntungan pertumbuhan ekonomi bagi Indonesia, akan tetapi dapat berakibat buruk berupa hilangnya sejumlah lapangan pekerjaan akibat adanya automasi. Oleh karena itu, kesiapan masyarakat memegang peranan penting dalam menghadapi era ini. Berkaitan dengan hal tersebut, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengelompokkan wilayah kabupaten/kota di Indonesia dengan menggunakan variabel indikator kesiapan yang terdapat dalam networked readiness index (NRI) oleh World Economic Forum (WEF). Metode pengelompokan yang digunakan adalah biclustering dengan algoritma cheng dan church. Pengelompokan dengan metode tersebut menghasilkan 5 bicluster di mana bicluster 4 adalah kelompok yang memiliki nilai rataan terendah untuk setiap variabel. Posisi terendah ini kemudian diikuti oleh bicluster 3. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, pemerintah perlu menjadikan kabupaten/kota yang tercakup dalam bicluster 4 dan 3 sebagai prioritas dalam melakukan pembenahan untuk mempersiapkan masyarakatnya menghadapi revolusi industri 4.0.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is an area with the rapid adoption of technology, the growth of internet and mobile phone users, region-wide digital initiatives to increase connectivity between markets, and the drastic acceleration of digitalization across practically all aspects of the economy. Currently, especially in the Covid-19 pandemic period, the digital economy is a key factor driving the growth of the region's economy. Based on the Networked Readiness Index (NRI), the study will analyze and compare the differences between ASEAN countries in terms of the digital economy. The purpose of the study is to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each country, thereby giving an overview of the potential of ASEAN countries in the period of digital economy readiness. The study results clearly show the digital economy gap and many differences in terms of the people pillar across countries. Singapore and Malaysia are among the top digital economies in the region; however, only Thailand made substantial progress from 2019–2021. Although ranked the lowest in the digital economy, Lao PDR and Cambodia have many positive improvements. Although ASEAN countries have strengths in digital technology, applying digital technology toward sustainable development is still a challenge for most countries in the region.

Mestrado em Ciências Empresariais<br>Se pensarmos em toda a complexidade que existe à volta do processo de começar um negócio, percebemos que já existem muitos estudos que apontam as dificuldades, facilidades, as vantagens e desvantagens. O empreendedorismo, enquanto disciplina, tem suscitado cada vez mais atenção na comunidade académica, e isso acaba por se refletir no aumento exponencial de artigos sobre o tema. Este artigo surge na sequência do interesse no empreendedorismo, articulado com o interesse tecnológico, e visa responder à questão: existirá uma relação entre o nível tecnológico dos países, e o seu grau de atividade empreendedora? Assumindo a influência da tecnologia no quotidiano dos indivíduos, quer a um nível pessoal quer, essencialmente, a um nível profissional, seria expectável que o índice de preparação tecnológica dos países influenciasse o nível de Atividade Empreendedora (AE). Desta forma, o objetivo deste estudo passou por analisar as variáveis que compõem o índice de preparação tecnológica (NRI), e perceber se essas mesmas variáveis poderiam prever ou explicar as diferenças de AE nos vários países. Usando como base os relatórios do WEF e do GEM, foi-nos possível confirmar, neste estudo, uma relação significativa entre a AE e o índice de preparação tecnológica.<br>If we think about all the complexity around the process of starting a business, we can realize that there are many studies that point out the struggles, the easiness, the advantages and disadvantages. Entrepreneurship, as a discipline, has aroused more and more attention in the scholar community, and that ends up reflecting in the exponential raise of articles about this subject. This article comes up in the sequence of this interest about entrepreneurship, articulated with the technological interest, and aims to answer the question: is there a relation between the technological level of the countries, and their degree of entrepreneurial activity? Assuming the influence of technology in the everyday life of the individuals, on a personal level and, essentially, on a professional level, it would be expectable that the networked readiness index (NRI) of the countries would influence the level of entrepreneurial activity. This way, the goal of this study has passed by the analysis of the variables that compose the NRI, and understand if those same variables could predict or explain the differences of the entrepreneurial activity between countries. Using as a base the reports from WEF and GEM, it was possible to confirm, in this study, a significant relation between the entrepreneurial activity and the Networked Readiness Index.<br>info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

Malaysia intends to ride on the crest of the coming i.4.0 wave. According to the 2016 GE Global Innovation Barometer study, a significant number of Malaysian executives felt positive about embracing i4.0 vis-a-vis their global peers. On the surface, Malaysia appears ready for its own i4.0 revolution. According to the WEF's Networked Readiness Index on digital readiness, Malaysia was ranked 6th in terms of having the most tech-savvy government in the world. The automotive sector is ideally suited to kickstart the i4.0 revolution as it was traditionally regarded as the “industry of industries” – particularly due to its traditional role in spearheading wider, cross-sectoral industrialisation. However, Malaysia is not yet ready to embrace the 4th Industrial Revolution. This chapter discusses the obstacles, challenges, and opportunities facing i4.0 uptake in the Malaysian automotive industry. It ends by recommending a unique pathway for i4.0 adoption in the sector.

The rising of the knowledge economy, enhanced by the fast diffusion of ICTs, drives a wider perspective on the divide among Countries, interpreting it more and more as the result of an asymmetry in the access to knowledge and in the readiness to apply it in order to renew the basics of their development dynamics. Looking at the Mediterranean Area, the positive correlation between the Networked Readiness Index and the Global Competitive Index developed at Global Economic Forum – INSEAD, shows that the opposite sides of the Mediterranean Sea are performing a development path at two different paces. In the effort to face the challenge of supporting the creation of Intellectual Capital able to apply, diffuse and benefit from e-business, in 2005 the e-Business Management Section (eBMS) of Scuola Superiore ISUFI – University of Salento launched the “Mediterranean School of e-Business Management”. The present work aims to offer a presentation of its genesis, its most distinctive features, operational model and action plan. The preliminary results of its activities show the role and the main challenges of the School in addressing the needs of the Mediterranean Countries towards a logic of partnership for the development of their Intellectual assets.

Since the end of the last century, computers have become a widespread phenomenon in most developed and developing countries. In the last decade, all around the world, governments and private organizations have attempted to explore new searches, opportunities, and investments for making their services vibrant, independent from space and/or time, comfortable, and contemporary. These initiatives have also been done with a view to increase their services’ quality by employing the opportunities offered by the Internet technology. The electronic government (e-government) concept has developed as a result of these efforts. E-government offers the opportunities that offer citizens and the government to execute their mutual duties and obligations via electronic communication and process. E-government has several aspects, including social, technical, economic, political, and public administrative. However, most dominating concepts of e-government arise from the technical perspective and a combination of the socio-economic and public administrative perspectives. In this study; concept, structure, and frame of e-government were defined. The Networked Readiness Index was investigated, and featured topics for e-government applications were determined. Necessity of e-government in both developed and developing countries were investigated, and digital divide, which negatively affects e-government formation in developing countries, was investigated.
