Brief Notes on Public Administration & e-Government - government modernization
Dr. S. Koner,
MBA Professor
E-Government refërs to the systematic use by Government agencies of information and communications technologies [such as wide area networks, the Internet, and mobile computing] that have the ability to transform relations with citizens, businesses, and Government. These technologies can improve delivery of services, including interactions with business and citizens, and promote efficient Management.
Have we achieved the 'benefits' that were used to justify the e-Government program? How do we continue to improve our services and build upon the foundations that we will have created?
To some, e-Government might seem to be little more than an effort to expand the market of e-commerce from business to Government. Surely there is some truth in this.
Technologies like the Internet may be changing the way that governments interact with citizens and businesses, but that's only part of the puzzle. What happens behind en e-Government Web site is a fundamental change in the way that Government business is being conducted.
We are only starting to understand how the internet can contribute to the health and strength of representative democracy.
Together with the trend towards outsourcing tasks and working with manufacturer in private-public partnerships, this is likely to lead to rapid growth of the e-Government market and create plentiful business opportunities, also for small and medium-size enterprises.
From an manufacturer perspective, improvements need to be made to the Customer/supplier interface, if e-Government is to continue to flourish. In particular, the concept of partnering needs to evolve and develop into a 'modern relationship'.
By marking out e-Government as an activity distinct from health, education or quality of life, we promote the idea that implementing e-Government is an end in itself.
The past few years has seen significant growth in the number of e-Government services available over the Internet. The potential for the Internet to significantly enhance the way that individuals and organisations conduct business with e-Government is now more evident than ever before.
We’re finding a healthy appetite among the world’s Government leaders who are eager to embrace e-Government, because they see its enormous potential to help them improve the way they deliver federal services to businesses and people.
New technologies are changing the way that law enforcement investigates suspected criminals from tracking e-mails and eaves dropping cellular phone calls. These examples of e-Government, and many others, show how IT is changing the way we share information, transact business, and make decisions. Lawyers are among the many professionals impacted by these changes.
e-Government it is more about leading change and transforming institutional processes with technology as the enabler and leadership as the driver. e-Government Fellows offer a unique perspective on e-Government and the challenges of implementing it [see Reach for the Future]. Also, e-Government can be funded through reengineering and other Management improvements.
Viewing e-Government projects as mainly an investment in public infrastructure is too restricted, since the investment is also aimed at reducing the size and costs of Government while accelerating the growth of the e-Government market, helping to create new businesses and jobs in the private sector.
Web sites are the most common vehicle for providing electronic access to public information. According to some estimates, there have been more than 10,000 e-Government Web sites developed in the United States to date. These include the full array of federal, state, and local governments.
All surveys indicate strong demand for e-Government from citizens and business and significant benefits flowing from access to online services. Government agencies demonstrated significant improvements in efficiency and reduced costs. The findings provide strong support for the Better Services, Better Government strategy.
