[AISWorld] AMCIS 2017 Mini-Track: E-Government - From Implementation to Adoption: Challenges to Successful E-Government Diffusion

[Yogesh K. Dwivedi]

*AMCIS 2017 Call for Papers: E-Government Mini-Track - From Implementation
to Adoption: Challenges to Successful E-Government Diffusion*

Although, nearly two decades have passed since e-government efforts began,
and much research has been undertaken in the field, adoption and diffusion
still remains a major challenge for many governments. From a demand
perspective, extensive efforts are required to increase citizens' awareness
about the transformation of the delivery of government services and their
online availability. In order to prevent digital divide in terms of using
e-government services, it is also necessary that citizens from all segments
of society are equipped with basic ICT skills as well as private and or
public access to high speed internet connections. The above-mentioned
issues may seem obvious; nonetheless, we believe that they are critical
challenges to various governments' plans for diffusion as well as citizens'
adoption of e-government services. Subsequently, there are also many
technical, organizational, managerial and socio-economic challenges for
successful implementation and adoption of e-government, which needs
attention from various stakeholders including researchers and policy
makers. The aim of this mini-track is to provide a common platform for
discussion and presentation of original research highlighting issues
related with technical, organizational, managerial, socioeconomic and
policy related aspects of e-government implementation and adoption from
both the government and citizen's perspective.

The mini-track particularly seeks papers covering the following areas:

   - The development, implementation, control and maintenance of
   e-government and Transformational government projects.
   - Different process, information systems and technology integration
   approaches used in e-government and t-government projects
   - Enterprise architecture at various levels of government
   - IT-Governance, integrated service delivery and reengineering of the
   public sector
   - Barriers to awareness, adoption and diffusion of e-government services
   - Evaluation of implementation case studies
   - Technology alignments in e-government and t-government
   - Innovative applications and best practices in e-government and
   t-government
   - Overview studies; development within countries, policies,
   infrastructure facilities and comparative studies (comparing countries)
   - Role of high-speed internet in encouraging adoption and diffusion of
   e-government services
   - Role of socio-economic determinants in encouraging adoption and
   diffusion of e-government services
   - Policy and strategy to create and disseminate successful e-government
   services
   - Studies on e-Inclusion, e-participation and digital divide


Best papers from the mini-track will be invited to submit extended papers
to be considered for publication in a special issue of the International
Journal of Electronic Government Research (IJEGR)
