Abstract

The information age is also an era of escalating social problems. The digital transformation of society and the economy is already underway in all countries, although the progress in this transformation can vary widely. There are more social innovation projects addressing global and local social problems in some countries than in others. This suggests that different levels of digital transformation might influence the social innovation potential. Using the International Digital Economy and Society Index (I-DESI) and the Social Innovation Index (SII), this study investigates how digital transformation of the economy and society affects the capacity for social innovation. A dataset of 29 countries was analysed using both simple and multiple linear regressions and Pearson's correlation. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that the digital transformation of the economy and society has a significant positive impact on the capacity for social innovation. It was also found that the integration of digital technology plays a critical role in digital transformation. Therefore, a country's progress in digital transformation is beneficial to its social innovation capacity. In line with the research findings, this study outlines the implications and possible directions for policy.

社会创新与数字经济社会的关系
信息时代也是一个社会问题不断升级的时代。社会和经济的数字化转型已经在所有国家进行,尽管这一转型的进展可能千差万别。一些国家解决全球和地方社会问题的社会创新项目比其他国家多。这表明,不同水平的数字化转型可能会影响社会创新潜力。本研究采用国际数字经济与社会指数(I-DESI)和社会创新指数(SII),研究了经济和社会的数字化转型如何影响社会创新能力。使用简单线性回归和多元线性回归以及皮尔逊相关性对29个国家的数据集进行了分析。基于研究结果,可以得出结论,经济社会的数字化转型对社会创新能力有显著的正向影响。研究还发现,数字技术的整合在数字化转型中发挥着关键作用。因此,一个国家在数字化转型方面的进步有利于其社会创新能力。根据研究结果,本研究概述了政策的含义和可能的方向。
