<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">For more than two decades, governments in developed countries have used Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) to change public sector organizations. ICT has been used to
improve the performance in delivering effective or highly sophisticated public services; reengineering or optimizing their internal organization and processes; engaging social participation and dialogue; opening policy making and internal outcomes to the public;
and enhancing public sector’s efficiency in general. These efforts are mainly based on governments using ICT for strategic and program planning by impacting citizens and businesses. These efforts have been commonly branded as electronic government (e-Government).
Time showed that these government acts have evolved from “e” to “connected”, then to “transforming” and now to “open” [Government], and this evolution keeps going.</span><span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">Public administration and ICT efforts have dramatically changed the way governments interact with citizens and businesses. This book aims to explore the impact of this evolution via
examining intra-organizational results with regards to internal public sector change management; inter-organizational affects with regard to cross-border developments, supra-national or international collaboration and affairs’ changes; social outcomes concerning
service delivery improvements, adoption and engagement, trust and privacy; business outcomes with regard to ICT industry engagement in this arena; and academic involvement with regard to innovative technological developments.</span><span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

(norms, policies, and standards) in public administration with regard to the ICT. More specifically, it will not just examine e-Government domain, but it will depict innovative solutions with added value and impact to the public administration through ICT.
In this order, theoretical chapters, empirical evidence and selected case studies from leading scholars and practitioners in the field showing the “big picture” of public administration and ICT in developed countries will be examined in this book.</span><span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">Chapters will deal with recent ICT trends in the public administration, such as adoption and user satisfaction, big and linked data management in the public sector, social media utilization
for a more effective democracy, standardization and ontologies, inclusion and participation, and so forth. Literature reviews would also be welcome in order to explore the existing major schools of thought in ICT and public administration and their recent
perspectives to this domain. Additionally, criticisms with regard to existing failures in meeting citizen expectations and project effective management will be analyzed. For instance, governments have not succeeded in solving existing human problems effectively
(i.e., poverty and peace), why should we expect them to succeed in e-Government missions?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
