Government Services:  Innovation, Strategy and Assessment

Introduction
Technology, institutional and organizational trends and developments open opportunities for innovation in the way government agencies interact with their constituents. This mini-track seeks research papers, position essays, and practitioner reports advancing our current understanding of those innovations. We welcome papers addressing service performance measurement, success factors and key processes for e-government services development and implementation, value assessments of e-government services, and methodologies, techniques, and tools for service composition. We are particularly interested in the characteristics, development, implementation, uses, and performance evaluation of e-government services and systems. E-government service innovations also pose numerous strategic and operational challenges which includes, but is not limited to terms of interoperability of services, design of services, optimization of process chains, identification and assessment of the value-chain of services, cross-organizational service chains, workflow support of e-services, integration of internal IT support, G2G and G2C e-services, outsourcing of services, digital preservation, and electronic records management. Research to guide the development, management and evaluation of e-government services is in great demand in this important and rapidly growing domain.
