Leadership is crucial to the development and diffusion of e-government. But there is limited research that empirically validates this claim. This study thus examines the moderating effect of leadership commitment on the impact of infrastructure availability, financial capacity, literacy, and government policy and regulation toward the adoption of e-government. Data was obtained through a convenient sampling of Ghanaian citizens. The theory of the technology acceptance model (TAM) was applied, and the structural equation model technique was used to undertake the data analysis. The results showed that while leadership commitment significantly moderated the impact of infrastructure availability, finance capacity, and government policy and regulations on the perceived usefulness of e-government, its moderating effect on education/literacy on the perceived usefulness of e-government was not significant. Infrastructure, finance capacity, literacy, and government policy and regulations were significant predictors of e-government usefulness. Managerial and practical implications are discussed.
The purpose is to study the new survival trends for states in a multipolar world, determine the successfulness of adaptation to the digitalization of different growth poles, and develop the applied recommendations to improve the practice of adaptation to the risks of digitalization of these growth poles. Design/methodology/approach. The authors use the methods of economic statistics: variation analysis, trend analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. Findings. The commonness of strategies of adaptation to the risks of digitalization for different poles of the world economy is substantiated, and two universal mechanisms—talent management and development of science—are found. The originality of this research is due to the consideration of digitalization from a new view—from the positions of setting states at the brink of survival due to the aggressive digital competition and high complexity of ensuring global competition in a quickly changing digital landscape. The uniqueness of this research is due to taking into account the specific features in a multipolar world. The practical implementation of the offered recommendations opens future perspectives for more successful survival trends in a multipolar world and the improvement of their adaptation to risks digitalization by 69.91% in G7 countries (on average) and by 88.40% in BRICS countries (on average).
The article is devoted to adaptive management of the formation of an intersectoral economic system of a platform type, for the creation of multi-profile unmanned aerial vehicles. It provides mechanisms for solving modern problems faced by organizations and enterprises creating multi-profile unmanned aerial vehicles. Particular attention is paid to digital management and platform approaches to organizing business systems that create unmanned aerial vehicles. The article is of interest to specialists interested in the theory and practice of creating unmanned aerial vehicles.
This study holds the view that the m-government success depends on the adequate intervention and support of government. Given this, the study seeks to investigate the role that government support can play on m-government services acceptance. Particularly the study examines the moderating influence of perceived government support (PGS) on m-government services usage. A structural equation model (SEM) method was deployed with Smart PLS 3.0. Analysis from the data captured using a comprehensive Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model, demonstrated that contrary to the initial held view, performance expectancy (PE) did not impact the acceptance behavior of m-government services. Facilitating conditions, security and privacy, trust in m-government and quality of information had a direct positive influence on m-government services adoption. The findings also revealed that PGS had a significant moderating influence on PE, facilitation conditions, and trust towards the adoption of mobile government services. However, perceived government support had no significant moderating effect on security and privacy and information quality on the adoption of m-government services. These results guide researchers and practitioners in respect of the role government support plays in making m-government a success and how government aid should be designed to have the maximum impact on changing the adoption behavior of citizens.
This study is due to the need to accelerate the development of digitalization which will increase the competitiveness of corporations in the global energy markets. So far, the issues of digitalization of the economies of many countries, including Russia, are at the stage of accumulating of data and ensuring free access to them, which increases the possibilities of developing its areas, for example, digital power industry [1]. The choice of power industry as a priority object of digitalization in Russia is also due to the fact that in its GDP this industry occupies more than 20% [2]. Meanwhile, this must be done in the way that none of the sectors of the fuel and energy complex (FEC), as part of the system, would begin to dominate the others, eliminating the risks of its "collapse" as a single inter-industry complex of the country [3]. In other countries with a developed fuel and energy complex, the mining and manufacturing industries also lack the expected dynamics of the digital economy. Moreover, in some places there has even been a certain lag in the resolution of this issue, in comparison with the planned progress. Global energy companies, especially in the oil and gas sector, which are lagging behind in digitalization, may begin to lose competitiveness if they do not implement high-tech solutions that allow the fuel and energy sector to enter new markets for integrated systems and services of intellectual energy [4]. The purpose of this study is to develop a series of recommendations for the accelerated development of the digital economy in the fuel and energy sector, aimed at improving the competitiveness of global companies and increasing economic growth rates.
