Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The primary objective of this research is to conduct a comparative analysis of the state of digitalization in Montenegro and Indonesia. Therefore, the aim of this research is to analyze the current status of digitalization in these two countries, the effects of COVID-19 on the process of digitalization, as well as other potential factors that have affected the process of digitalization in Montenegro and Indonesia. The research is based on methodology which includes review of existing scientific literature and various reports, government reports, strategies and other relevant documents, as well as data analysis in Montenegro and Indonesia. The results show that there are a number of concrete positive consequences of the coronavirus crisis when it comes to the process of digitalization, and that the role of governments is getting bigger in that regard. The mindset of people has changed in the past several years, which led to new needs, as well as new and faster ways of doing business, or life in general. However, several factors are identified that could hinder the process of digitalization in Montenegro and Indonesia. Therefore, due to poverty and digital illiteracy, especially in rural areas, it is questionable if the whole population of these two countries have enough knowledge, skills, sufficient technology and equipment to be able to adapt to new digital procedures
