“…Among Kazakh scientists, there were also attempts to assess the digitalisation of the country's economy based on the WEF data "The Global Information Technology Report" (Berdykulova et al, 2014) or an organisational level (Alzhanova et al, 2020). However, this assessment was carried out at the country level and was static.…”

The level of digital readiness and the application of information and communication technologies (ICT) are key factors of any innovation policy. This research has highlighted the development of analysis of the degree of digital readiness and assessment methods of digital transformations, which can be used at various levels of business management to formulate digital transformation strategies. The present study investigates the theoretical framework in the field of innovation and spatial development considering the impact of the level of ICT. The research was conducted using index and economic-statistical methods based on a systematic approach. We developed a methodological tool adapted to the regional management level. The ICT development index, Krugman localisation index and Herfindahl-Hirschman index were modified to analyse digital readiness and ICT development at the regional level. The algorithm includes the following steps: assessment of the internet usage level; analysis of the degree of costs for the production of ICT; evaluation of the digital literacy rate of the population; evaluation of the degree of regional industry specialisation in the field of ICT. It was revealed that Kazakhstan’s regions have varying levels of ICT development, which is why they have different prerequisites and prospects for digitalising their economy. The agglomerations that could become “growth poles” of Kazakhstan’s knowledge-based economy were identified, such as Almaty city, Nur-Sultan city, Karaganda, and Aktobe regions. Government bodies can use the research findings for Kazakhstani territories’ digital modernisation.

“…Hence, the ability to motivate and enable the embracing of change are two key characteristics that imply the state of digital readiness appropriate for an organization [48]. Concerning digitalization readiness, extant literature indicates that readiness for digitalization is an organization's assessment of its state of being prepared for effective adoption, assimilation, and exploitation of digital technologies into their operational activities [49]. Therefore, this concept may include financial and technological resources, organizational culture, change commitment, and external stakeholder partnerships [48].…”

“…The study by Soomro and colleagues recommends that future research consider integrating the digital readiness theory and the dynamic capabilities view to derive a nuanced understanding of how both digital readiness and dynamic capabilities work in tandem to influence business process digitalization and organizational performance. Several studies show the impact of digital readiness on the rate of adoption of digital technologies [49], [75], while others provide evidence of the influence of readiness on firm performance [76], [77].…”

The drivers of digitalization and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) performance have been primarily examined through resource-based theories. Hence, this study presents an alternative perspective based on such organizations' readiness and dynamic capabilities through a conceptual framework. A conceptual framework is developed by drawing upon the digital readiness theory (DRT) along with the dynamic capabilities view (DCV) to propose an integrated framework that posits a set of propositions linking constructs that reflect both digital readiness as well as the dynamic capabilities of an organization as possible drivers of business process digitalization (BPD) and performance. The empirical literature based on the DRT suggests that digital readiness will likely drive BPD and performance. Whereas leveraging the premise of the DCV indicates that the ability to sense opportunities and threats is reflected by strategic foresight. In contrast, the ability to seize and transform is reflected through strategic flexibility. The propositions posit that all three factors influence performance directly and through the mediating effect of BPD. The framework developed in this study may provide clues to practitioners and policymakers related to SME development regarding potential drivers of digitalization and performance. Growing scholarly publications on antecedents of digitalization and the performance of SMEs have focused primarily on resources. The current study offers an alternate perspective by integrating the two theories based on such organizations' readiness and dynamic capabilities.

“…Initially, it meant «the ability to study and implement technologies and related practices of already developed countries» (Perkins & Koo, 1995;Crespo-Cuaresma et al, 2004). Now the absorptive capacity is being studied using the example of developing countries (Khordagui & Saleh, 2013;Omoregie, 2015), as well as its relationship with technological and innovative development (Polterovich, 2009;Dnishev & Satpayeva, 2017;Samovoleva, 2019;Alzhanova et al, 2020). In this vein, the increase of absorptive capacity level leads to the development of technological innovations (Del Carpio Gallegos & Miralles Torner, 2018).…”

Today there are no high-tech corporations in Kazakhstan, and small innovative business is not developed. The Kazakhstani economy has low susceptibility to innovation. One of the reasons for the low susceptibility of the Kazakhstani economy to innovation can be the low absorptive capacity of national enterprises. The aim of this research was to analyze the Kazakhstani enterprises' absorptive capacity. The conceptual framework of this research is measuring firm's absorptive capacity by their economic activity in technological innovations, especially by analysis of transfer of technologies. Statistical analysis was the main research method used. The information base was the statistical data of the Bureau of national statistics of the Agency for strategic planning and reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan from 2015 and 2020. The research identified a low level of absorptive capacity in Kazakhstani enterprises and the need to form and develop a national system of absorptive capacity in Kazakhstan. To improve the absorptive capacity of Kazakhstani enterprises it is necessary to develop their ability to acquire, assimilate, transform and exploit knowledge, including foreign technologies. Research findings may serve as the theoretical and methodological basis for the implementation of effective policy to create a diversified, technological economy and national system of absorptive capacity management strategy.
