Perspectives of Development Of the System of E-Government in the Region in the Conditions of the Digital Economy

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to identify common (in the regions of Russia as a whole on the basis of improving the algorithm used) and private (in the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District on the basis of its current features) prospects for the development of e-government in the digital economy of Russia. Design/methodology/approach: With the help of the method of expert assessments, which determined the ratio of readiness, demand and the level of implementation of e-government in the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District of the Russian Federation in 2019, characteristics and promising directions for the development of e-government in the regions under study were identified. Findings: The level of development of the e-government system in the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District has been determined. The improved algorithm of electronic government system development in the region in conditions of digital economy is offered. The ratio of readiness, demand, and level of introduction of electronic government system, and also characteristics and perspective directions of development of system of electronic government in regions of the North Caucasian federal district of the Russian Federation in 2019 is defined. Originality/value: As a result of the study on the example of the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District of the Russian Federation in 2019, it is shown that the prospects for the development of e-government in the regions of Russia in the digital economy are associated with the following actions. Firstly, improvement of the algorithm of e-government system development in the region in the digital economy is possible by changing the order of its stages and including a new stage—determining the specifics of the region. Secondly, ensuring a balance of readiness, demand, and level of implementation of e-government; in the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District, it is recommended to increase the level of implementation of this system. Thirdly, ensuring security (achieved in the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District of the Russian Federation), reliability, completeness, and simplification of e-government system in the region. Finally, priority electronic conversion of the most demanded components of public administration (in the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District of the Russian Federation these are state and budget services).
