Digitalisation Peculiarities of Israel. Part I

This paper focuses on the Israeli digitalization experience. The first part explains why Israeli experience is relevant. In the second, the situation with the digitalization of state authorities and other structures related to the country’s management at the macro level is analyzed. The third part of the paper presents an analysis of the situation with digitalization in the business sphere.

The analysis showed that the basic structure of management of the digital economy has been formed in Israel. It is significant that the Israeli digital strategy is based on the ideas of socio-economic development. The key structure in this process operates within the framework of the Ministry of Social Equality. That is, at least at this stage, the government of the country sees in digital transformation an opportunity to solve social problems and looks at the digitalization process through this prism, which, however, does not mean a decrease in the scale of ongoing transformations. At the international level, on the whole, Israel’s efforts are rated positively, however, apparently due to a certain time lag required for data processing, the country’s achievements of 2017-2018 in international rankings did not find adequate display.

The specificity of the digital transformation of the Israeli business sector is that with the presence of a large number of relevant technologies in the country, the domestic market in many respects clearly does not match Israel’s claims to world leadership in the innovation economy as a whole and in the digital economy as part of it.

A reflection of this dichotomy is, in particular, the insufficiently high position of the country in the relevant international rankings. We note, however, that Israel is actively cooperating with the outside world in the field of digitalization, adapting successful experience in this area of ??other countries, which seems to allow the country to gradually solve its existing problems in this area.
