Abstract
This study aims to determine the status of digital transformation in the European Union (EU) countries that are members of the Group of Seven (G7). This study focuses on analyzing statistical data issued by a European statistical agency (Eurostat). To detail the aspects of the study, we use the deductive method to describe the theoretical concepts related to digital transformation in addition to the inductive method to explain the data related to digital transformation in the EU countries that are members of the G7. The study found that Germany is ahead of France and Italy in all digital transformation technologies as well as allocating more budgets and training programs for employee training than France and Italy.
