Indicators of monitoring of the information-communication market development
Abstract
It was noted, that rapid development of information communication technologies (ICT) and mass media today has a direct impact on all spheres of economy activity as for certain country and the whole world in general.
Today, to the main measurement indicators of the modern development of different aspects of global ICT market we can include: Global Cyber security Index, Global Open Data Index, Networked Readiness Index, Digital Access Index, The UN Global E-Government Development Index, ICT Development index, Digital Divide Index, ICT Regulatory Tracker.
It was emphasized, that today there are nosystematic and scientificresearches in which functional and correlation analysis of ICT market development monitoringindicators was conducted.
Functional and correlation analysisof ICT market development monitoring indicators was conducted; these indicators were proposed by International Telecommunication Union which represents special division ofUnited Nations for ICT, in particular: Global Cyber security Index, ICT Development index and ICT Regulatory Tracker.
It was figured out, that Global Cyber security Index has 25 indicators and 157 questions, which were selected by the next criteria:compliance of five key elements of Global Cyber security Index and promotion of reaching main goals andconceptual frames of Global cyber security program, data existing and its quality, a possibility of cross checking using secondary data.
Calculation of indicators, which are used for Global cyber security index determination, is based on cyber security development tree map and binary type of answers, each of five columns has its own color, so the longer way was past the deeper color becomes.
It was noted, that ICT development index represents a complicated index which combines11 indicators in one stage and is used for monitoring and comparing ICT development between countries and different periods of time. It was highlightedthat calculation of this index is based on limited data set, which can be established with reasonable level of trust to any country at all stages level of development. Sub-indexes are calculated by summarizingthe weighed values of indicators, which were included to the corresponding group: for calculation of the final index for sub-index access to ICT and ICT using each indicator gets 40% coefficient of weighting and sub-index of skills gets 20% (because it’s based on procksi indicators). The final value of index is calculated by summarizing of all sub-indexes.
It’s noted, that ICT Regulatory Tracker is a tool which helps people who take decisions and at the same time it is a regulatorin order to rapidly develop ICT regulationand consists of 50 indicators, which are grouped in four clusters. In contrast to the other two indexes, after encoding of original quality information for all indicators for each country, an estimate from 0 to 2is given, which allows calculating the integral indicator at the end.
It’s also noted, that the givenindexes consider the ICT market in different aspects, therefore sub-indexes that are included in their composition differ substantially. Despite this, afteranalysis of theconstructed correlation matrix betweenGlobal Cyber security Index, ICT Development index and ICT Regulatory Tracker it was concluded the correlation exists at average level, the highest correlation can be observed between Global cyber security index and ICT development index.
The tendency towards improvement of indexes that reflect the status of the ICT market over the years as a whole in the world has been emphasized.If according to 2014 there was no country which had the highest value of global cybersecurity index (index value more than 0.8), in 2017 there were more than 7% of countries which had this value; the value of index from 0.6 to0.8 in2014 had 15% of countries, and in 2017 19% of countries; if according to 2007 there was no country with the highest value of ICT development index (index value more than 0.8), in 2017 there were 14% of such countries of the total; the value of index from 0.6 to0.8 in2007 was at 16% of all countries, and in 2017 had 30% of countries; if according to the data of 2007 there were only 5% of countries which had the highest value of ICT development index (index value more than 80) in 2017 there were 42% of all countries; The value of index from 60 to80 in2007 had 26% of countries, and in 2017 had 32%of countries.
A similar tendency is observed inUkraine. Thus, in 2014, the value of global cybersecurity index was 0.35, and in 2017 it was 0.5, in 2007 the value of ICT development index was 3.6, and in 2017 it was 5.6, in 2007 ICT's regulatory tracker was 47,8, and in 2017 - 56.3. It was concluded that the values of the studied indices forUkraineare lower than the averageworld level at the present time, it is advisable to take further steps to improve the level of ICT development, cyber security and regulation of ICT.
It is concluded that further scientific research on this scientific issue should focus on the functional and correlation analysis of other indicators of monitoring the development of the ICT market offered by other international organizations, and the construction of a single integral indicator will include all aspects of the ICT market functioning and, as a result, will provide a more coherent characteristic of the ICT market.
