Structural and dynamic assessment of indicators of digitalization and digital transformation of organizations of the Republic of Belarus

Abstract

The relevance of studying the processes of digitalization and digital transformation occurring in organizations is due to the fact that these processes are accompanied not only by the expansion of business and an increase in its competitiveness, but also by the development of the potential of the organization’s employees. The digital transformation of economic entities is accompanied by the creation of new professions, changing competencies in education and other transformations of the entire socio-economic system. The aim of this study is to assess the dynamics of digitalization processes in organizations of the Republic of Belarus and the Vitebsk region, the structure of digital transformation of industrial organizations in the country and to substantiate the directions for the development of statistical observations to form an information base for managing these processes. The solution to the research problems was carried out using general scientific methods: observation, comparative analysis, quantitative and statistical analysis, deduction and induction. As a result of the study of the essence of the processes of digitalization and digital transformation, their distinctive features were identified. A differentiation of statistical observation indicators into indicators for assessing the level of digitalization and indicators for assessing the level of digital transformation of organizations according to the purposes of using the Internet and the digital technologies used is proposed. A conclusion is made about the need to expand the program of statistical monitoring of digital transformation processes in organizations of the Republic of Belarus.
