Digital Government

E-Government Research, Case Studies, and Implementation

  • Information technology - as it has with so many aspects of our business and everyday lives - is dramatically changing the way government manages data, shares data, plans, provides decision support and delivers services. At the core of all these changes is digital government or e-government. This is the first systematic survey treatment of the area written by those individuals who are at the leading edge of the field
  • Given the support and interest in digital government initiatives worldwide, this book will fill a vacuum for a survey textbook treatment on the topic that can be used in variety of practical and academic settings in Information Systems, Computer Science, Policy Studies/Political Science and Business

About this book

New information technologies are being applied swiftly to all levels of government service: local, county, regional and even national and international. Information technology (IT) is being used to improve data management and data sharing, planning and decision support, service delivery, and more. Application areas affected by government mandates to improve e-government service include healthcare and safety; law enforcement, security, and justice; education; land use; and many others. DIGITAL GOVERNMENT: E-Government Research, Case Studies, and Implementation provides the field with a definitive, interdisciplinary, and understandable review of recent IT and related research of particular importance to digital government. The book also includes explorations of current and future policy implications, and case studies of successful applications in a variety of government settings.
