Highlights

► Agencies and citizens as e-government stakeholders are too diverse to be meaningfully addressed in e-service development. ► By adopting a multi-faceted perspective on stakeholders, public e-service development acknowledges further stakeholders. ► Our study contributes with deeper insights about a situation where stakeholder salience changes over time. ► Stakeholder centered analysis of expectations helps to develop e-services offering external service and internal efficiency.

 4. Information quality and community municipal portal use<http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=GatewayURL&_method=citationSearch&_urlVersion=4&_origin=SDVIALERTHTML&_version=1&_piikey=S0740-624X%2812%2900139-6&md5=a8462945465deec2d9978504c4a4ad67&graphAbs=y>

Highlights

► The study's theoretical model extends prior empirical work on electronic government adoption and use. ► Information quality plays an important but indirect role in influencing a person's use of a community municipal portal. ► Data was collected from real users across five community municipal portal sites. ► Results are based on a structural equation modeling analysis on two separate cross-validated samples.

 5. User acceptance of mobile e-government services: An empirical study<http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=GatewayURL&_method=citationSearch&_urlVersion=4&_origin=SDVIALERTHTML&_version=1&_piikey=S0740-624X%2812%2900134-7&md5=1c86642cd72e1ff40fbd0571cb7f7561&graphAbs=y>

Highlights

► The study aims to identify determinants of user acceptance of M-Government services. ► Usefulness, ease of use, trust, and interactivity significantly influence attitude. ► External influence and interpersonal influence significantly affect subjective norm. ► Self efficacy and facilitating condition significantly influence behavioral control. ► The study leads to a better understanding of user acceptance of M-Government services.

 6. Examining China's triple-network convergence plan: Regulatory challenges and policy recommendations<http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=GatewayURL&_method=citationSearch&_urlVersion=4&_origin=SDVIALERTHTML&_version=1&_piikey=S0740-624X%2812%2900133-5&md5=6d266dda60ea299e166ec721a66806e1&graphAbs=y>

Pages 45-55
Chun Liu
Highlights

► Theoretically, this paper complements the existing research on China's information policy, which is mostly one-shot and sector-specific, with a complete treatment of convergence policy evolution that involves both telecommunications and television. ► Practically, this paper finds that there are two remarkable characteristics in China's convergence policy-making, namely, the causal relationship between institutional and policy change and the consistent policy objectives, which will continue to shape to future to come. ► Based on the findings, a sketch of the future regulatory regime and relevant policy recommendations are provided.
