Brief Notes on Public Administration & e-Government - government departments
Dr. S. Koner,
MBA Professor
New Public Management is a kind of Managëment theory about how to reform Government by replacing rigid hierarchical organisational structures with more dynamic networks of small organisational units.
Often there is not a hard-and-fast distinction between e-Government and e-democracy. Take voting technology. To the extent that improved voting technology reduces Government's cost of conducting a reliable vote, it is e-Government. But to the extent it systematically influences who votes, whose votes are actually counted or any other variable that affects the translation of voter preferences into public policy, it is e-democracy.
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.
A strong, efficient e-Government process is practically the definition of resourcefulness. Put these governance practices to work to maximize the value of your projects and processes.
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.
Any e-Government portal offers a varied bouquet of services. Citizens can apply for the issuance of birth certificates and replace national ID cards, view their phone and electricity bills, check for outstanding traffic fines, renew their driving licenses and apply for entry to state universities. Tourists, meanwhile, can file complaints, while other features are provided for exporters, including taxation and customs services.
The challenge for e-Government is to continually embrace the opportunities that the online world provides and ensure that community needs and expectations are met, while at the same time ensuring program and cost effectiveness for Government.
To achieve e-Government goals, an e-Government program must consider and address three interrelated areas of Policy, Management, and Technology. Policy greatly outranked Management more than 2:1 and Technology 4:1 as the priority area of e-Government interest.
e-Government opens up many possibilities for innovating and improving Government services. Many governments are working toward providing citizens with access to information and services 24 hours a day, seven days a week from the convenience of their home or office PC.
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 an e-Government Web site is a fundamental change in the way that Government business is being conducted.
E-Government can also serve as the catalyst for export promotion, foreign direct investment, local manufacturer promotion, transparency and democracy, and social and human capital development.
The e-Government portal will be useful only if the information and services the portal is making accessible are described consistently. You must care of the way in which Government information and services - online and offline - are described now and how those descriptions should be managed over time. These descriptions are called Metadata.
The most prominent obstacle to e-Government is digital illiteracy, followed by a lack of well-developed procedures for cooperation between the public and private sector. In addition, shortage of funds or lack of public funds for new projects posed significant obstacles to e-Government implementation.
The e-Government resulting benefits can include less corruption, increased transparency, greater convenience, revenue growth, and cost reductions. e-Government has a great role in offering services to citizens and promoting democracy brought by the integration of the Internet in the process of governance.
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.
