<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#333333">Research demonstrates the critical importance of treating e-Government as a multidisciplinary and multidimensional phenomenon in order to understand and explain its potential
for ICT-enabled government transformation. More specifically, strategic, political, institutional, managerial, organizational, legal, economic, and external relationship factors have been identified as key aspects in the study of e-government and, particularly,
transformational government. This mini-track examines the complexity of effectively managing e-Government and its transformational potential. Increasingly, this involves inter-organizational collaboration, multi-sector and cross-jurisdictional networks, and
the management of a large variety of relationships with both internal and external stakeholders.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
