Abstract
The paper analyzes the ranking positions of universities in leading countries in comparison with the most popular ratings of overall country and digital competitiveness. This analysis is carried out in order to understand whether there is a relationship between the aggregate high rating of universities with the same position of general and digital competitiveness. Conclusions based on the results of the analysis are important for studying the impact of universities on the development of territories, the pace of structural transformation of the analog economy into a digital one, and ensuring the transfer of knowledge. In addition, the comparison of the methods of rating formation allows us to understand its applicability for making strategic government management decisions.

Summary
The issues of assessing the competitiveness of countries and regions in the world economy have been studied for a long time and at different levels. In 1968, under the leadership of Irving Kravis, a small research project began at the University of Pennsylvania under the patronage of the United Nations Statistical Commission, which grew into an International Comparison Program in 2005 [1]. The concept and structure of cross-country comparisons have evolved over the past 50 years, the methodology and evaluation methods have been constantly improved, and the number of countries compared has increased from 10 to 176 [2; 3]. We can talk about the formation of 35 global ratings for nine groups that assess the level of countries development, including economic, social, demographic, institutional, communication, and global indicators [4]. This is what is said in the research of the first decade of the twentieth century [5; 6; 7]
