Compared to other e-government sectors, Government-to-Government (G2G) is a new research area. Up to now, a commonly accepted definition doesn’t exist and the domain of G2G projects is still unclear. The short experience accumulated in these few years isn’t enough for the responsible groups to extrapolate widely accepted theories. Many theories are concerned only with the technical aspect of in...

Background Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is increasingly finding the way into all fields of human society. This development results from the believe, that computerised workflow is quicker, more efficient, and cost-effective than the traditional workflow [1]. A few years ago e-business began to reach local governments. The label e-government comprises applications and objectives...

In this paper we propose a framework to support a preliminary planning of services in the eGovernment domain, where we consider the case of Government to Business (G2B) interaction. The present work is founded in the context of the Service Science, an emerging effort to build a scientific discipline based on the concept of service. Services apply in a broad range of different domains, such as, ...

This paper reports on some of the recently completed work of the EU-supported Prisma project examining the best of e-government experience across Europe in relation to technology, organisational change and meeting the needs of the user (citizens and business). Future work of Prisma involves developing scenarios of change over the next ten years, building future-oriented best practice models and...

INTRODUCTION The main scope of this article is to present a heuristic model to deploy government-to-government initiatives effectively, as well as establish some key success factors for building governmentto-government (G2G) enterprises successfully. It also aims to show how public agencies themselves can benefit when they are electronically linked to others, thereby innovating and streamlining...

The subjects of ICTs adoption and e-Government services have been widely investigated by researchers. It is an indication of the significant roles that can be brought to individuals and societies by ICTs and e-Government. Enhancing efficiency and effectiveness of governmental services being delivered to citizens (G2C) is the ultimate goal. However, many groups within societies are considered to...

Countries worldwide are carrying growing interest in e-voting. The paper gives a brief overview on recent developments. The countries are joined in their interest by industry and international organisations. All three groups of actors and individual actors within each group have different and sometimes diverging reasons for their interest, and thus different goals. The paper focuses on remote /...

Evidence exists that citizens’ demand for pay-to-use e-government services is highly price-elastic. But research on citizens’ adoption of e-government remains almost entirely pre-occupied with contexts wherein it is implicit that citizens would not face any monetary cost implications. The fact that Technology Acceptance model (TAM) and Perceived Characteristics of Innovating (PCI) do not factor...

Governments are moving towards ushering in an age of electronic governance or e-governance. However, they are facing the problem of investing in solutions that do not integrate with the rest of the systems or are not scalable and robust. This paper attempts to introduce the concept of middleware and technology standards as a tool to develop integrable, scalable and robust e-governance solutions...

As e-government plays an increasingly dominant role in modern public administrative management, its pervasive influence on organizations and individuals is apparent. It is, therefore, timely and relevant to examine e-governance—the fundamental mission of e-government. By adopting a stakeholder perspective, this study approaches the topic of e-governance in e-government from the three critical a...
