Abstract

The level of e-readiness of the digital economy is expected to vary across different jurisdictions. The e-readiness ranking of nations, which has been a regular undertaking by various agencies since 2000, demonstrates that the world is, indeed, moving steadily into a new digital era, and that by extension, businesses are increasingly operating in the digital economy. The 2008 e-readiness ranking of nations and similar previous rankings suggest that collectively, the world is steadily moving up the e-readiness charts; for example, average e-readiness rose by 0.15 to 6.39 in the 2008 rankings, up from 6.24 in the previous year, with the United States being the 2008 global ereadiness leader (with 8.95), followed closely by Hong Kong, which advanced up by two places (The EIU/IBM Business Institute for Business Value, 2008).
