[AISWorld] AMCIS 2013: CfP From Implementation to Adoption: Challenges to Successful E-government Diffusion

[Yogesh Dwivedi]

AMCIS 2013 Call for Papers: Minitrack "From Implementation to Adoption:
Challenges to Successful E-government Diffusion"


Track: Electronic Government

Chicago, Illinois, USA, August 15-17, 2013

*Minitrack Description:*

Since the mid 1990s ICT has played an important role in incrementally
changing and shifting traditional and bureaucratic government models into
the current e-government model where services are delivered according
customers’ needs. E-government implementation efforts have now evolved from
basic information provisioning to more integrated service offerings in most
countries. Having successfully e-enabled front office and customer facing
processes during early e-government efforts, most countries are now working
towards reengineering and e-enabling back office processes and information
systems to facilitate more joined up and citizen centric e-government
services; these efforts are often referred to as the transformational stage
of e-government or t-government. Conversely, many researchers have proposed
various stages of e-government development; these revolve mainly around
four phases, which are web presence, interaction, transaction and
transformation. The transformational phase (or t-government) is considered
the highest level of maturity for e-government programmes and encompasses
redefining the delivery of government services by providing a single point
of contact to citizens’ that makes the government transparent to citizens
and businesses. Also, 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 (i.e. through the use of broadband connections at home
or in public places). 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 minitrack is to provide a common platform for discussion and
presentation of original research highlighting issues related with
technical, organizational, managerial and socioeconomic aspects of
e-government implementation and adoption from both the

government and citizen’s perspective.



The mini-track will focus on:

   - 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
   - Barriers to implementing transformational stage e-government (or
   t-government)
   - Evaluation of 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
   - E-government and digital divide
   - Big data and open government
