Abstract

This study analyzes contemporary approaches to strategic management in government under globalization and digitalization, with emphasis on the social and healthcare sectors. Using a mixed-methods design, it combines a systematic literature review and comparative case analysis (2018–2024) within a digital governance framework. The findings indicate that digital technologies increased bureaucratic efficiency by 23–35%, with uneven adoption across sectors, led by healthcare. Organizational culture, technology readiness, and leadership support emerge as key drivers of transformation. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly accelerated digitalization, particularly in telemedicine, highlighting both the effectiveness of hybrid digital management models and the centrality of risk management.
