Abstract
The aim of the study is to assess the role of digital technologies and entrepreneurship in improving the efficiency of supply chains in the pre- and post-crisis periods. The values considered are GDP per capita, characterizing the degree of the country’s well-being in the pre-crisis period; the LPI digital efficiency index, which determines the degree of development of the logistics environment in the country; the TIDL digital life index, which assesses the degree of development of the economy from the digital standpoint; and the GEI entrepreneurship index, which reflects the degree of development of entrepreneurship in the country. The result of cluster anal ysis was the division of many countries into clusters from which individual economies were selected for further analysis. The work resulted in conclusions about the communication system between ICT and logistics, as well as between the level of entrepreneurship and the efficiency of logistics in the pre-crisis period. It is shown that developed economies have a high level of development of logistics systems, and high values of the digital life rating and level of entrepreneurship, which cannot be said about countries with middle and lower levels of development. The main conclusion of the study is the fact that, firstly, active introduction of ICT makes it possible to restore the supply chains destroyed by the crisis and to increase their efficiency, and, secondly, development of entrepreneurship in the country is a serious impetus to increasing the efficiency of supply chains, giving businesses not only a chance to survive in a pandemic, but also great benefits.
