Abstract
Presently, for the purpose of sustainable growth of the economy, it is a common choice to promote sectors’ digital transformation (DT). However, to credibly monitor the effect of DT on sectoral development, it is necessary to develop a systematic measure for the monitoring sector’s DT. This study provides a monitoring index system for sectors’ DT. First, an assessment framework for enterprises’ DT is introduced, which laid a foundation for the proposed monitoring index system for sectors’ DT. Secondly, a monitoring index system for sectors’ DT is established, which includes 13 monitoring indexes from four aspects, namely transformation stages, single-domain digitalization, integration and interconnection, and collaboration, interaction and mode innovation. A weighted method of interval hesitant fuzzy entropy is also given here. Finally, a panorama of sectors’ DT in China is derived by applying the proposed monitoring index system, and a prediction that the level of sectors’ DT in China will continue to grow in the next three years is made by gray predication.
Highlights
Over the past decade, big data, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and other information and communication technologies (ICTs) have developed rapidly and penetrated into traditional industries quickly, causing a systematic and holistic industry innovation and technology revolution
China is derived by applying the proposed monitoring index system, and a prediction that the level of sectors’ Digital transformation (DT) in China will continue to grow in the three years is made by gray predication
To fill the above-mentioned gap, we investigate current situation and further needs of vast Chinese enterprises which are incorporated into the design of monitoring index, and propose a monitoring index system for sectors’ DT
Summary
Big data, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and other information and communication technologies (ICTs) have developed rapidly and penetrated into traditional industries quickly, causing a systematic and holistic industry innovation and technology revolution. Digital development is a strategic choice to build a new competitive advantage for the country in the digital age They formulate national strategies, plans, and policies to support the DT and upgrading of sectors The “OECD Digital Economy Outlook 2015”. (2) Application of the universal index system whether objectively reflect the level and effectiveness of sectors’ DT of a country still needs to be proved by practice. To answer these questions, we put forward a monitoring index system for sectors’. Based on data from a large number of enterprises in China, we organized an overall statistical analysis to quantitatively monitor the development level and effects of sectors’ DT in China.
