Title | Roles of Government and Private Sector in Digitalization: A New Conceptual Framework and Typology |
Summary | Digitalization sets new trends across the world in many sectors – ranging from public administration to industrial development, from communication to financial systems. But what kinds of digitalization are out there? Combining different research streams from political economy, public policy, and communication studies, this thesis develops a process-centric typology of digitalization. The paper concentrates on the roles of governments and businesses in this process. It bases the typology on the dimensions of inputs (i.e., how businesses, governments, and their interactions shape the process of digitalization) and outputs (i.e., the scale, extent of digitalization). The paper then empirically showcases the developed digitalization types through a sample of countries from the Eurasian region. Based on the results of the empirical showcasing, it suggests possible refinement of the suggested typology, discusses potential implications of this conceptual framework, also from a normative perspective, and generates several hypotheses related to the relationship between digitalization types as well as state capacities, regime types, and market structure. |
