摘要：Digital society and the new economy is one of the coordinates of the world we live in, and its dynamics
seem to eliminate those who disregard it. The paper aims to provide some benchmarks of what the new economy
and digital society means through evaluations/classifications/indexes. Also, the paper aims to analyse the
structure of the elements taken into account in order to shape the concept of economy and digital society. This
analysis takes into account the indexes of the new economy and digital society published by the European Union,
the UN Department for Economic and Social Affairs and, last but not least, a private institution, a Swiss
Research Institute and Swiss Business School, International Management Institute, with expertise in leadership
training and change management in organizations. At the same time, the paper aims to investigate the
hierarchies of the previously mentioned charts and to present some experiences of some countries regarding the
new economy and digital society.
