Conceptual Approaches to Assessing the Effectiveness of Government and Business Cooperation Projects Implemented Within International Digital Integration

Abstract

The article is devoted to the definition of the main conceptual approaches used for assessing the overall effectiveness of interaction between business and government, as well as the specifics of this process in the implementation of digital integration projects at the international level. The content analysis of dissertation and monographic materials, critical articles and the results of scientific research carried out by various teams of researchers made it possible to identify, and using the generalization method to summarize problems and contradictions, trends within the framework of the studied direction. The combination of general scientific methods of cognition with the tools of scientific search and comparative analysis of the theoretical views of the world scientific community contributed to the formation of the author’s position, and then to the synthesis of their individual ideas in the results of the presented research. The authors’ point of view was based on combining existing approaches to assessing the effectiveness of business and government cooperation from the standpoint of partnership, that is, equal representation and coordination of interests without domination by any of the parties. As a result, the authors managed to form an integrated criteria framework for assessing the effectiveness of interaction, reflecting the agreed positions of each of the interested parties. The fundamental basic principles of evaluating the effectiveness of interaction and the local principles from the point of view of every party interested in the project are formulated. The problems and contradictions in assessing the effectiveness of projects of business-government cooperation are identified and summarized. Approaches to the formation of a criteria framework for assessing effectiveness are proposed and the role of each of the participants in the interaction project is determined.
