Brief Notes on Public Administration & e-Government - good governance
Dr. S. Koner,
MBA Professor
Take-up of e-servicës 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.
E-Government refers 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.
Federal and state agencies, as well as many local and county governments, have realized the Internet - through the e-Government - can help them communicate with the public, with businesses, and with one another. The anytime, anywhere character of the Web allows Government information and services to be more available to more people at greater convenience, and hopefully with increased satisfaction.
Using the Internet portals to create one-stop shops is one currently popular e-Government approach to improving the delivery of public services to citizens.
e-Government means joining up information and services in ways that cut across existing organisational and departmental boundaries. All organisations find multi-agency working and data sharing difficult. The successful organisations are the ones that overcome these difficulties.
e-Government can improve efficiency, increase citizen involvement and help achieve reform – but it is not enough just to open up a website and wait for visitors to start flooding in.
New Public Management is a kind of Management theory about how to reform Government by replacing rigid hierarchical organisational structures with more dynamic networks of small organisational units.
It is important that Government have a good understanding of the level of Return-on-Investment to date on e-Government initiatives, as well as a method for determining an appropriate Return-on-Investment in the future.
As a CIO in charge of an e-Government project, the first step is to define the accessibility of the enterprises and citizens to the e-Government services and informations.
More people are online than ever before and Government agencies are improving their Web sites to provide more information and services for public access.
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.
e-Government is going to be a prime enabler for transformation of the way that central and local Government interact and communicate with Citizens.
Among the most interesting and challenging sociotechnological issues of e-Government are in the area of e-Democracy, which aims to apply information and communication technology to improve the public opinion formation process central to government’s primary regulatory function.
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.
Where then have e-Government benefits already been felt by the public? The sharing of information between services, and making it available to front-line staff in call centres and one stop shops makes one think that, to date, the main benefits felt by the public have been indirect, rather than direct.
