With digitalization, countries can achieve economic efficiency by using information and communication technologies. In particular, the digitalization trends and activities of countries with large economies can affect the global economy. Therefore, measuring the digitalization performance of countries with large economies gains great importance. In this context, the aim of the study is to measure the digital readiness performance of the 19 countries in the G20 group, which was last measured for 2019, over the values of the CISCO Digital Readiness Index (CDRI) components, using the ENTROPI-based VIKOR Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method. The findings revealed that South Korea, USA, Germany, England, Australia, Japan, Canada and France had better values than the average digital preparation performance value of the countries within the scope of the ENTROPY-based VIKOR method. Therefore, it was concluded that other G20 countries should increase their digital readiness performance in order to be in harmony with the countries that have better values than the average digital readiness performance in terms of digital readiness performance. Apart from these, the digital readiness performances of the countries were also measured by ENTROPI-based ARAS, BTA, COPRAS, EDAS, ROV, TOPSIS, WASPAS and Gray Relational Analysis (GIA) MCDM methods. Since the highest correlation between the values measured according to the methods and the CDRI values of the countries was with the ENTROPI-based VIKOR method, it was evaluated that among the mentioned MCDM methods, CDRI could be best explained with the ENTROPI-based VIKOR method.
