TBOE maturity assessment model for standard digitalization: An empirical analysis using AHP and Delphi method

Area of Science:

• Information Science
• Digital Transformation
• Standardization

Background:

• Global digital, networked, and intelligent transformations necessitate standard digitization.
• Standard digitization faces significant challenges, requiring new analytical frameworks.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose a comprehensive framework for addressing standard digitization challenges.
• To introduce the novel Technology-Business-Organization-Environment (TBOE) model, emphasizing the business dimension.

Main Methods:

• Factor analysis to identify key influencing factors for standard digitization.
• Development of a maturity assessment model with three distinct stages.
• Utilizing the Gartner Hype Cycle framework for stage division thresholds and rigorous indicator normalization.

Main Results:

• Identification of key factors influencing standard digitization.
• A validated maturity assessment model categorizing digitization into three stages.
• Empirical validation of the TBOE model's applicability in the power industry.

Conclusions:

• The TBOE model provides a robust framework for understanding and managing standard digitization.
• The maturity assessment model offers theoretical guidance and a practical toolkit for diverse sectors.
• Standard digitization is crucial for navigating digital, networked, and intelligent economic and societal transformations.
