Рейтинговий аналіз розвитку цифрової економіки в Україні

The development of the digital economy is an objective process that is actively taking place all over the world nowadays. As a result, basic centers for the production and export of information and communication technologies were formed, which led to the formation of competition between countries in the sphere of digitalization and the development of the digital economy. Today, Ukraine is actively involved in world digitalization processes. However, the level of use of digital technologies is insufficient, which determines the importance of conducting scientific research of foreign experience in this direction, specifying current trends in the development of the digital economy in the country. The article provides a rating analysis of the current state of development of the digital economy in Ukraine. This analysis was carried out by studying the most common world rankings, which are developed and used by scientists and analysts to describe the basic trends in the digitalization of society in different countries and regions over the world. In particular, information on the digital competitiveness rating, the ranking of world countries according to the Network Readiness Index, the ranking of countries of the world by the level of Internet freedom, the Digital Economy and Society Index, and the Digital Quality of Life Index were used. As a result, it is determined that the best positions in these rankings in the vast majority of cases are occupied by countries with high socioeconomic development, which have formed conditions for innovative development, including the development, implementation and export of modern information and communication technologies. Ukraine in the above-mentioned rankings holds mediocre positions. This indicates a significant potential for the development of the digital economy in the country, which can be realized through the active intervention of public authorities in creating favorable conditions for attracting investments in the sphere of ICT. It is also determined that an important element of ensuring the development of such a sphere is the transformation of the work of the State-based institutions, since according to many criteria it is the direction of regulation that appears the most undeveloped.

Основні перешкоди розвитку інфраструктури цифрової економіки в Україні

Today, the national economy is developing in the context of active production and use of information and communication technologies. The experience of foreign countries shows that it is impossible to ensure high-quality development of the national economy without the use of such technologies. Digital technologies create new opportunities for economic entities and help to increase their competitiveness. It is also possible to ensure the active development of the digital economy through the introduction of measures to stimulate the development of its infrastructure. However, the outlined system is complex in its structure, and therefore there is a need to identify the basic obstacles that currently hinder the development of the digital economy. This task is accomplished in the article on the basis of a detailed review of international rankings that summarize the basic trends in the digitalization of society based on the analysis of a significant number of indicators. Such rankings include the digital competitiveness rating of countries and the rating based on the network readiness index. A detailed study of the structure of such ratings and the parameters used to establish them has made it possible to find out that the most critical situation in the development of the digital economy infrastructure in Ukraine remains the regulatory and legal framework, which, according to these rankings, is characterized by low quality and imperfection, especially in the field of ICT. The article also specifies that, in general, in international rankings, Ukraine remains holds a rather mediocre position in terms of the development of the digital economy, ranking at 50th place, which is a low indicator, given the potential of our country in the development of digital technologies. Thus, it has been determined that there is an urgent need to develop systematic and realistic directions for the development of the digital economy infrastructure.

How Do Organizations Seek Cyber Assurance? Investigations on the Adoption of the Common Criteria and Beyond

Cyber assurance, which is the ability to operate under the onslaught of cyber attacks and other unexpected events, is essential for organizations facing inundating security threats on a daily basis. Organizations usually employ multiple strategies to conduct risk management to achieve cyber assurance. Utilizing cybersecurity standards and certifications can provide guidance for vendors to design and manufacture secure Information and Communication Technology (ICT) products as well as provide a level of assurance of the security functionality of the products for consumers. Hence, employing security standards and certifications is an effective strategy for risk management and cyber assurance. In this work, we begin with investigating the adoption of cybersecurity standards and certifications by surveying 258 participants from organizations across various countries and sectors. Specifically, we identify adoption barriers of the Common Criteria through the designed questionnaire. Taking into account the seven identified adoption barriers, we show the recommendations for promoting cybersecurity standards and certifications. Moreover, beyond cybersecurity standards and certifications, we shed light on other risk management strategies devised by our participants, which provides directions on cybersecurity approaches for enhancing cyber assurance in organizations.

Assurance of electronic parts for aerospace system reliability: Past, present, and future

Over the last two to three decades, the balance of influence within the electronics industry has shifted decisively toward the consumer electronics and information technology products, away from the defense or aerospace markets. This shift toward the commercial markets has changed certain ground rules in the electronics industry. Reliance of the aerospace industry, in particular, on components from supply chains dedicated to other products, or cross-vertical product integration, creates a supply web and introduces significant risks that are not necessarily present for volume-driven electronic products. Many of the unique risks in the aerospace industry emanate from the key characteristics of this industry. Although selection and usage of commercial electronics in NASA flight hardware is possible at a comparable (and in many cases lower) level of risk to that of employing parts that are screened to military or NASA specifications, for a large majority of flight projects it is difficult to distinguish the difference in on-orbit performance or reliability for parts screened at any level, or commercial parts that have no additional screening performed by the government. This paper identifies several bases for establishing context and developing unique or alternative approaches for successful parts selection and application within NASA and across the commercial space community.

Research on advanced technologies – design and development of cloud computing model

This article is a bibliographic review and focuses on a brief introduction to Cloud Computing as an innovative educational tool. Cloud technology is rapidly spreading in educational institutions, sometimes replacing the in-house infrastructure with cloud services. Education plays an important role in a country’s economy and today, the educational model in many countries has evolved with technology. Schools and universities in the world extensively use cloud Based Technology. Digital teaching – E-Learning and cloud-based technology are the latest models that have been widely adopted in the educational field. The identified trends in the use of cloud computing in education are clear, ranging from the design of cloud-oriented learning environments for future information technology specialists to the training of information technology specialists to enable them to obtain competencies in the use of cloud technologies. Cloud computing is a distributed computing paradigm, where, instead of acquiring information technology products, users access shared resources under various service models through a network, usually the Internet. The application of cloud computing is very broad and growing daily because of many advantages to the users, and is driven by the increasing use of various mobile devices (laptops, tablets and smartphones) and mobile Internet access being more available. The perspectives of its integration in the learning process are highlighted, as well as the factors that make its implementation difficult. Finally, some general conclusions presented on how technologies should be adopted to meet the educational needs of this new global challenge and some suggestions are made for more effective training through the Cloud Computing, as the need for further research emerges

Rifkin’s misreadings of the zero-marginal cost of production of information technology

In this paper, I address contemporary attacks on rationalism thanks to Rifkin’s concepts of “extreme productivity” and “zero marginal cost of production” as examples of an ideological twist on genuine economic expressions. The main issue dealt with epistemological issues in the context of the contemporary communication age. It consists to clarify the relation between economic ideas and their relation to reality. To proceed accordingly, I implement a hermeneutic method applied to Rifkin’s discourse. That method is grounded in the scholarly tradition of “the ordinary language philosophy”. Its results proceed to show 2 distinct language games at work: 1- the neoclassical definition of marginal cost and its own logic is distinct from Rifkin’s use of it. 2- Rifkin uses the expression “marginal cost” under the auspices of an ideological discourse on the demise of capitalism. 3- The confusion is based on a systematically deceptive use of scholarly referencing. I conclude by drawing some lessons for the role of a multidisciplinary defense of economic rationality in contemporary discourse.

The impact of a multilevel interactive nursing quality control and audit application on nursing quality management

BackgroundThis study aims to investigate the effects of a nursing quality control and audit application (app) on the autonomous learning of nursing staff and nursing quality management by nursing supervisors. A multilevel interactive app is developed to assist nursing staff in conducting online autonomous learning and nursing supervisors in identifying problems and creating nursing quality improvement plans. The app could also present the different evaluation results of wards in visual charts for supervisors to review.MethodsA single-group pre- and post-test design was applied. Data were collected from 131 nurses between October 2019 and October 2020 to analyze the differences between nursing staffs’ willingness to engage in autonomous learning and the integrity of nursing quality improvement plan writing before and after the intervention. The structured questionnaires included open-ended questions that cover aspects of nursing quality control, the audit app, and the information acceptance intention of nurses.ResultsThe participants’ age and job title are negatively correlated with the app’s usability, while the ability to use 3C (Computer, Communication, and Consumer Electronics products including mobile phones and laptops) equipment is positively correlated with the willingness to use the app. Nurses’ satisfaction with the convenience of the online autonomous learning method is 92%, which indicates that the app could improve their willingness to learn. Following the intervention of the app, nursing supervisors’ satisfaction with the integrity of nursing quality improvement plan writing increased from 41 to 88%.ConclusionsUsing information technology products to assist in nursing quality management in clinical practice has a significant effect on nurses’ load reduction and head nurses’ satisfaction. Multilevel interactive nursing quality control and audit apps can improve nursing staff’s willingness to learn independently, nursing quality, and the integrity of plan writing. Thus, nursing quality control and audit apps can be considered as suitable nursing quality control tools.

Overcoming the “Solow paradox”: Tariff reduction and productivity growth of Chinese ICT firms

This paper examines the phenomenon of the “Solow paradox” in China using the Annual Survey of Industrial Production database and the China Customs Records dataset from 1998 to 2007. We find that China likely fell into the Solow paradox in the period 1998–2002, but the total factor productivity of information and communication technology (ICT) enterprises has achieved rapid growth since 2003. Accession to the World Trade Organization is the key reason for China to overcome the Solow paradox, that is, input tariff reduction significantly promoted the productivity of ICT firms. A series of validity and robustness checks confirmed the results. Mechanism analysis shows that input liberalization promotes the productivity of ICT firms through optimizing factor structure, importing more and high-quality inputs, and increasing research and development investment. The conclusions provide strong empirical evidence for developing countries to overcome the Solow paradox through trade liberalization.

Gaya Kepemimpinan Kelembagaan di Era Disrupsi (Tinjauan dari Perspektif Manajemen)

The Disruption era is part of the context of today’s society. This era was born from revolution 4.0. The era of revolution 4.0 is one stage of the industrial revolution that adopts the idea of a computerized system in management. By doing so, various virtual information technology products have emerged that lead to MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) system. The flood of technological innovations certainly brings various dilemma situations in various dimensions of human life. This situation arises when something common becomes unusual or vice versa thanks to the ability of digital technology. One of the permanent life systems and functions which regulates human efforts to meet their daily needs is institutions both local institutions such as families and indigenous peoples and new institutions (such as modern organizations). One of the important institutional actors is leadership. In short, leadership is defined as a leader’s efforts to influence its members to achieve goals. Therefore, it requires at least three fundamental institutional leadership styles to face the disruption era, namely situational leadership, transformational leadership and servant leadership. Situational leadership helps leaders to strengthen internally human resource commitment of staff or institutional members in accordance with the institutional context. Transformational leadership encourages the creation of institutional innovation according to its vision and mission. Institutional innovation begins with a leader’s efforts to constantly renew himself (on going formation) so that he/she is able to become agents of change for the institution and its members. Finally, servant leadership tries to encourage institutional functions to remain human-oriented since human beings are the image of God/Creator. These three leadership styles should become standard leadership styles which should be applied in institutions to ward off the dilemma of innovation in the disruption era.

A hybrid decision-making model for sustainable supplier evaluation in electronics manufacturing

The rapid development of information technology and electronic products has had a profound impact on global business activities and the quality of human life. To maintain competitiveness among enterprises, contribute to society, and protect the environment while maintaining profits, electronics manufacturers must move toward sustainable development. This paper proposes the following four dimensions for sustainable supplier evaluation and selection (SSES): economic, social, environmental, and institutional sustainability. These dimensions can be subdivided into 20 criteria, which constitute the SSES framework of electronics manufacturing. A modified indifference threshold-based attribute ratio analysis (ITARA) technique is proposed to obtain the objective weights of the criteria and the preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluation based on aspiration level concept (PROMETHEE-AL) method is applied to integrate the performances of sustainable suppliers and determine their rankings. The modified ITARA and PROMETHEE-AL methods are integrated as a hybrid decision-making analysis model, which improves the conventional ITARA and PROMETHEE methods and introduces the concept of aspiration level to enhance their practical applicability. In addition, through model comparisons and sensitivity analysis, the robustness of the proposed model is demonstrated and more potential management information and suggestions are obtained. The study results can help decision-makers in the industry and academic researchers to better understand how systematic supplier selection can be conducted in electronics manufacturing. This study provides a complete SSES approach to support decision-makers and practitioners in easily determining the performance of alternative suppliers. For researchers, the proposed decision-making model can be used as a research basis for SSES to facilitate the development of other more forward-looking methodologies.
