EVALUATION OF G7 COUNTRIES IN TERMS OF THEIR DIGITAL INTELLIGENCE PERFORMANCE WITH THE CoCoSo METHOD

Digital technologies are increasing their importance on a global scale day by day. New concepts have emerged as the effects of digital technologies are felt on both individuals and businesses. One of these concepts is digital intelligence. In this context, the main purpose of this study is to examine the digital intelligence performances of G7 countries. Within the framework of this main purpose, the digital intelligence performances of G7 countries were determined by using the Digital Intelligence Index (2020). The current index includes six criteria: state, momentum, environment, experience, behavior and attitudes. Within the scope of the analysis, the SD (Standard Deviation) method was used in weighting the criteria and the CoCoSo (Combined Compromise Solution) method was used in ranking the alternatives/countries. According to the SD method results, it was seen that the criterion with the highest importance level was behavior, while state had the lowest importance level. After weighting the criteria, CoCoSo analysis was conducted and as a result of the analysis, it was determined that the country with the highest digital intelligence performance was the USA; Germany followed the USA. The countries with the lowest performance were determined as France and Italy, respectively.
