Description:

Having largely evolved from e-business ideas, the success of e-government will also depend on how governments entice citizens to use online public services. Therefore, from a demand perspective extensive efforts are required to increase citizens’ awareness about transformation of delivery of government services and their online availability. In order to prevent digital divide in terms of using e-government services, it is also necessary that citizens from all segments of digital society are equipped with basic ICT skills as well as private and or public access to high speed internet connections (i.e. through the use of broadband connections at home or in public places). The above-mentioned issues may seem obvious and simple; however, we believe that they are critical challenges to citizens’ adoption of emerging e-government services. Consequently, there are many technical, organizational, managerial and socio-economic challenges for successful implementation and adoption of e-government, which needs attention from various stakeholders including researchers and policy makers. The aim of this mini-track is to provide a common platform for discussion and presentation of original research highlighting issues related with technical, organizational, managerial and socio-economic aspects of e-government implementation and adoption. 

The mini-track will focus on:

  • The development, implementation, control and maintenance of e-government projects.
  • Different process, information systems and technology integration approaches
  • Evaluation of case studies
  • Technology alignments
  • Barriers to integration and implementation of e-government services
  • Barriers to awareness, adoption and diffusion of available e-government services
  • Innovative applications and best practices
  • Overview studies; development within countries, policies, infrastructure facilities and so on
  • Comparative studies (comparing countries)
  • Role of high-speed internet in encouraging adoption and diffusion of e-government services
  • Role of socio-economic determinants in encouraging adoption and diffusion of e-government services
  • Policy and strategy to create and disseminate successful e-government services
  • E-government and digital divide

            Selected papers from this mini-track will be published in a Special Issue of The Journal of Cases in Electronic Commerce.
