Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of the work is to verify the offered hypothesis and to evaluate the potential of the modern Russian entrepreneurship in economy’s informatization.

Methodology

A specially developed proprietary method of evaluation of entrepreneurship’s potential in economy’s informatization and the level of its opening is used, which is created on the basis of the classical method of effectiveness evaluation. The information and analytical basis of studying the entrepreneurship’s potential in economy’s informatization is the materials of the report “The Global Information Technology Report 2016. Innovating in the Digital Economy”, prepared and presented by INSEAD, JOHNSON (Cornell University) and World Economic Forum. The offered proprietary method envisages evaluation of entrepreneurship’s potential in economy’s informatization and the level of its opening on the basis of statistical data according to four criteria: business and innovational environment, business ICT infrastructure, usage of new ICT in business, and economic consequences of using new ICT in business.

Results

The author evaluates the entrepreneurship’s potential in economy’s informatization in modern Russia in 2016 and concludes that entrepreneurship’s potential in modern Russia is rather high, due to which high value of the index of information economy’s formation in Russia is achieved. That is, large entrepreneurship’s potential in economy’s informatization should be viewed as a precondition for information economy’s formation in modern Russia.

Recommendations

The author proves that entrepreneurship’s potential in economy’s informatization is an important component of the process of information economy’s formation in the economic system and can stimulate successful and quick implementation of this process or, quite on the contrary, slow down it rated, based on which it should be paid more attention.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to define the conceptualization and measurement of informatization according to a capability perspective reflected in three aspects: IT managerial capability, IT-enabled capability and IT infrastructure capability.

Design/methodology/approach

Manufacturing enterprises in China’s Northeast and Pearl River Delta regions in China were selected to empirically examine, using structural equation modeling, the association between a firm’s senior executive support informatization and radical innovation performance.

Findings

Results show a significant positive relationship between senior executive support and IT-enabled capability. However, there are no significant positive influences uncovered between senior executive support and IT managerial capability and IT infrastructure capability. The authors find significant positive effects of IT managerial capability, IT-enabled capability and IT infrastructure capability on radical innovation performance. Lastly, the joint effect of senior executive support and external institutional environment has no significant influence on informatization.

Originality/value

This study offers improved understanding for enterprises and academia about the effect of senior executive support informatization on radical innovation performance. It also suggests taking effective measures to highlight the management level and enterprises’ radical innovation performance.

Abstract

Informatization is a term of Japanese provenance denoting major systemic change resulting from the application of information technology. At the macro (economic and sociological) level, authors such as Fritz Machlup and Daniel Bell have outlined the shape of a supposed new order. In modern librarianship and information work, too, the effects of informatization have been pervasive. The paper articulates a simple synthetic theory of post‐war informatization with special reference to information services in libraries, and specifically computerized information retrieval. It is suggested, on the basis of primary and secondary research, that the “story” of informatization can be broken down into four electronic epochs: offline, online, CDROM, and the Internet. Each epoch is described and evaluated, focusing on the practical effects on British librarians (national, academic, and public) and their patrons. It is hoped that the use of primary sources enables the account to capture something of the sense of revolution accompanying the arrival of new epochs. Advice on a future fifth “e”poch is not supplied, but it is acknowledged that the prospects for a global reference system seem more hopeful than ever before.

Abstract

This study attempts to measure the impact of information on national development by taking into consideration a set of IT variables, and analyses the contribution of each variable individually and collectively to the national economy and human resource development in the 21 sample countries. The authors developed a composite index to assess IT development in high, middle and low income nations. This paper highlights the disparities in IT development not only among different groups of nations but also within countries of the same group. The IT Index would assist policy makers to determine technologies suitable to people in different geographic regions and according to each country’s socio‐economic status. The authors also developed a tool to measure the extent of the IT gap between countries. This Informatisation Paucity Index (PI) combines several parameters such as the “Head Count Ratio”, “Informatisation Gap Ratio”, “Gini Ratio” and “Sen Index”. This index sheds light on the distance of individual countries from standard norms fixed for IT development. To assess the relationship between IT availability and the economic (GNP) and human resource development (HRD) of a country, a Correlation Analysis was applied and the impact of each IT sector on overall development was derived from the Regression Analysis.

Abstract

Two extreme positions set the tone in learned literature on the feasibility of democracies in the information society. In the opinion of a number of authors, the widely proclaimed “electronic revolution” will inevitably take us to “direct democracy”. The only question these computopeans hold different views on is to what extent active steering of the further introduction of technology is necessary to reach direct democracy. Some of them (like De Sola Pool, 1983) are of the opinion that technologies of freedom are involved, which will almost automatically result in a more democratic society, provided that the free market is left to its own devices. Other authors believe that the new technology enables a drastic renewal of political culture and structure, provided that it is used deliberately in a practical and sensible way (Etzioni, Laudon, & Lipson, 1975; Becker, 1981; Hollander, 1985; Barber, 1988; Abramson, Arterton, and Orren, 1988).

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this chapter is to determine the basic preconditions to information economy’s formation in modern Russia.

Methodology

The methodology of the research includes the method of comparative analysis, which is used for comparing the values of the indicators of informatization of Russia’s socio-economic system to the indicators of other countries, and the method of trend analysis, which is used for determining the growth rate of these indicators in Russia.

Results

The authors study the dynamics of the values of the indicators of information economy in Russia in 2008-2017 and determine three basic preconditions to the formation of information economy in modern Russia. The first precondition is related to the necessary normative and legal provision of information economy that determines the course at its formation. The second one is related to the readiness of infrastructural provision (mobile communications, the Internet, the system of e-commerce, and online payments) for formation of information economy. The third precondition is vivid progress in informatization of the socio-economic system, as a result of which Russia exceeds the average global level.

Recommendations

It is concluded that Russia has quickly implemented the strategy of modernization of the socio-economic system, creating a platform for formation of information economy.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of the chapter is to develop and substantiate the principles of implementation of the innovational model of well-balanced information economy.

Methodology

The methodology of the research consists of the method of analysis of causal connections, which is used for determining the need for proclaiming various principles of implementation of the innovational model of well-balanced information economy, evaluation and comparison of the possible methods of their observation, and studying possible consequences. This allows determining the optimal set of principles that allow – with the highest precision – implementing in practice the offered innovational model of well-balanced information economy.

Results

The author offers eight main principles of implementation of the innovational model of well-balanced information economy: principle of balance, principle of simultaneousness, principle of balance of state and entrepreneurial initiative, principle of innovational activity of personnel, principle of cyclicity, principle of feedback, principle of effectiveness, and principle of protection. They focus on peculiarities and key advantages of the innovational model of well-balanced information economy and guarantee its formation as a result of practical measures that are aimed at informatization of the economic system. These principles must be a guide for action for modern economic systems, and their strict observation will allow implementation of the offered optimal model, not just formation of information economy, thus guaranteeing its balance.

Recommendations

The developed principles are recommended to scientific and practical application.
