“…To complicate things further, there is no uniform definition of the term "digital transformation" (Moroz, 2018). Out of the countless definitions that can be found in the literature, there are two concepts in particular that we consider it relevant to highlight; the first is that digital transformation refers to the "ongoing digital evolution of a company, business model, idea, process or methodology; both strategically and tactically" (Mazzone, 2014), therefore it is all encompassing, impacting all business aspects of a firm; and the second is that digital transformation is not about technology per se (Shakina, Parshakov, & Alsufiev, 2021); it uses technology as a means, not an end, reinforcing the strategic nature of this transformation (Tabiriz et al, 2019).…”

“…According to the authors, the last interpretation is the difference arising from the use of ICT in the form of financial and economic revenues. According to Shakina et al (2021), the digital divide manifests itself in several areas in cases where two or more interconnected processes in a digital transformation are not coherent or equally developed. This may apply, for example, to the development of ICT infrastructure at the national or regional level.…”

This paper focuses on examining the differences in access and use of ICT in selected risk groups of the population in V4 countries. It is a question of digital inequality and the digital divide, which are a threat to the progress of the whole society because they cause digital exclusion. Based on the theoretical framework of this concept, the authors examine the extent of this exclusion in the year 2019 in the Visegrad Group countries, using a modified digital divide index. The analysis confirmed significant differences in ICT access and usage among older people, individuals with low education and low income in comparison to the average population. The extent of these inequalities varies in V4 countries, although there is no significant difference in the development of infrastructure or other social inequalities.Available data show that Hungary has the lowest level of digital equality lagging behind other countries in the level of trust in information and services provided online and in perceived security.

“…Such stable technical and digital development creates a significant need for the constant training of highly qualified personnel (Shakina et al, 2021;Tarik et al, 2021), which could support existing technologies, as well as engage in their constant integration and adaptation into the production and innovation cycle, which would reduce the impact of demand shocks on the modern labor market.…”
