Brief Notes on Public Administration & e-Government - parliament government
Dr. S. Koner,
MBA Professor
New Public Management is a kind of Managėment theory about how to reform Government by replacing rigid hierarchical organisational structures with more dynamic networks of small organisational units.
Legislation introduced in the U.S. Senate typifies the way legislators often blend e-democracy and e-Government rhetoric, but in concrete actions overwhelmingly focus on e-Government. The bipartisan e-Government Act of 2001, co-sponsored by 12 senators, says two of its major goals are: to enhance citizen access to Government information and to increase citizen participation in Government.
Opportunities for citizens to communicate with their governments are growing. A recent e-Government study found continued improvement in the number of state and federal sites that provide e-mail addresses to allow direct communication with Government departments and individuals; more opportunities for site visitors to post comments; and a doubling in the percentage of sites that allow citizens to register for e-mailed updates on specific issues.
Take-up of e-services is the biggest issue surrounding e-Government. We should be looking at what people want, rather than what we have to give them. Some national guidance on this would be useful.
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.
e-Government might enable a citizen to access the form they need to fill out to order a copy of their birth certificate without needing to know that the Health Department handles the request. Other services that citizens want online include renewing a driver's license, voting on the Internet, filing taxes, and obtaining park information.
e-Government impacts the way we interact with Government agencies at all levels, whether that interaction takes place through telephone, fax, e-mail, a Web site, or directly into a data base.
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'.
The future for e-Government will be affected by the way that the supply market changes. To date, some IT suppliers have responded more effectively than others to the way in which the local e-Government market has developed.
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.
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.
Since governmental institutions take part in marketing and sales activities, both as buyers and sellers, it is not inconsistent to speak of e-Government applications of e-commerce. Governments do after all conduct business.
One reason why e-Government will continue to fair well is because many advocates and practitioners have learned that implementing it doesnt depend totally on dollars.
e-commerce is not at the heart of e-Government. The core task of Government is governance, the job of regulating society, not marketing and sales.
E-Government promises to make Government more efficient, responsive, transparent and legitimate and is also creating a rapidly growing market of goods and services, with a variety of new business opportunities.
