Features of Assessing the Competitiveness of Digital Ecosystems
Abstract
The article is devoted to the peculiarities of assessing the competitiveness of digital ecosystems as one of the key elements of digital transformation in many areas of activity. Analysis of the competitive position, study of the principles and factors of competitiveness of digital ecosystems is one of the new areas of scientific research, the results of which will have important theoretical and applied significance for the formation of strategies for the further development of digital ecosystems at the national and world level, taking into account sustainable competitive advantages in a dynamically changing economic environment. Assessing the competitiveness of digital ecosystems is an urgent task in which the ecosystems themselves, their business partners, states and users of these ecosystems may be interested. To obtain adequate assessment results, it is necessary to take into account the multifaceted nature of this process, the peculiarities of the selection of competitiveness factors and criteria for its assessment. In this regard, this article makes an attempt to explore the fundamentals of the competitiveness of digital ecosystems, to identify and systematize competitiveness factors, principles and evaluation criteria, which will further allow us to develop a system for assessing the competitiveness of digital ecosystems of different scales. The article examines the concept of competitiveness of a digital ecosystem, identifies the features of assessing a digital ecosystem, describes in detail the stages of assessment, considers the hierarchy of competitiveness of digital ecosystems, identifies features of the competitive environment, formulates competitiveness factors, presents statistics on the number of users and capitalization of certain digital ecosystems, reviews assessment methods and the basic principles of assessment and formulates differentiated indicators of the competitiveness of digital ecosystems. In conclusion, the difficulties of assessing the competitiveness of digital ecosystems and the main directions for increasing it are formulated.
