Abstract

In modern conditions, the competitiveness of an organization both in the domestic and foreign markets largely depends on the level of digitalization of all its business processes. This makes it necessary to assess the degree of development of information and communication technologies in an organization, compare it with competitors, with the values that have developed in a certain type of economic activity, and finally with the level achieved by the national economy as a whole. The study concludes that it is necessary to introduce a methodology for assessing the level of ICT development in an organization, which would allow obtaining objective comprehensive data on the digitalization processes taking place in individual organizations, but at the same time would make it possible to aggregate results at the sectoral, regional and national level.

The purpose of this work is to develop a methodology for assessing the level of digitalization in organizations of the Republic of Belarus by adapting the methodology for calculating the International Information and Communication Technology Development Index (IDI). In the development of this methodology and its transformation to the level of the organization as separate sub-indexes, the following are proposed: ICT in business processes, ICT infrastructure, ICT skills, ICT security, ICT innovations. The author's opinion on the set of indicators forming the designated subindexes is proposed.
