Digital Maturity of Higher Education Institution: A meta model of the Analytical Network Process (ANP) and Decision EXpert (DEX)

Digital maturity of higher education institutions (HEI) becomes more and more important as the influence of ICT grows. In this paper, the methods Analytic Network Process (ANP) and Decision EXpert (DEX) are presented and demonstrated in the example of domains for digital maturity of HEIs. The ANP is a quantitative method, DEX is a qualitative method and digital maturity level (DML) is a two-component combination of results for the two methods’ application. Additionally, the ERA model of those methods combined to calculate two-component DML of HEIs is designed, and its process will be specified and evaluated in future researc
