Keywords: digital readiness, digital maturity, digital transformation, assessment model, digital economy, enterprise competitiveness, maturity index.Abstract
The theoretical and methodological foundations of the concept of digital readiness of enterprises, its structural dimensions, and the main assessment models used in international practice are analyzed. In the course of the study, models and indices such as MIT Sloan, Deloitte, Gartner and Industry 4.0 readiness were compared, and on this basis an integrated assessment methodology consisting of seven dimensions (strategy, technology, data, processes, culture, staff, and customer engagement) is proposed. Based on the results of a survey of 124 enterprises in manufacturing, banking and finance, trade and other sectors, the level of digital readiness of Uzbek enterprises was assessed and practical recommendations were developed.
