Description & Coverage
Description:

Recently, the public sector has given an increasing amount of national and international attention to electronic government systems. Therefore, it is inevitable that the theoretical implications and intersections between information technology and governmental matters are more widely discussed.

Public Information Management and E-Government: Policy and Issues offers a fresh, comprehensive dialogue on issues that occur between the public management and information technology domains. With its focus on political issues and their effects on the larger public sector, this book is valuable for administrators, researchers, students, and educators who wish to gain foundational and theoretical knowledge on e-government policies.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Digital Divide
  • Electronic Government
  • Organizational Behavior
  • Project Management
  • Public and Sector Management
  • Public Policy Environment
Reviews & Statements

Brown and Garson (both public administration, U. of North Carolina-Charlotte) have produced a comprehensive textbook on policy and management issues that arise when considering information technology in the public sector. They explore the intersection between information technology and four varying theoretical perspectives that do not supply correct answers, they say, but point to some interesting questions. The topics are a theoretical and historical view of electronic governance; governmental transparency, information access, and information privacy; cybercrime and electronic commerce; the information technology business model; implementation success factors; evaluating public information systems; and organization behavior and organization theory.
