Brief Notes on Public Administration & e-Government - government management
Dr. S. Koner,
MBA Professor
Take-up of e-servicės is the biggest issue surrounding e-Government. We should be looking at what people want, rather than what we have to give them. Some national guidance on this would be useful.
It is important that Government have a good understanding of the level of Return-on-Investment to date on e-Government initiatives, as well as a method for determining an appropriate Return-on-Investment in the future.
Web portals can deliver Government services with various levels of interaction. Three levels are usually identified: information, communication, and transactions.
The Return-on-Investment on e-Government provides the impetus for increased levels of investment to harness the potential ongoing benefits to both citizens and Government.
e-commerce is not at the heart of e-Government. The core task of Government is governance, the job of regulating society, not marketing and sales.
Online service delivery provides enormous opportunities to Government, individuals and business. For Government, online service delivery presents ways for more efficiently and effectively delivering services to citizens, while at the same time providing savings.
The Internet is primarily a communications medium, not a space to do things, other than buy the odd book, CD or bottle of wine. And yet there are hundreds of projects up and down the country, online communities, pressure groups and learning centres where e-Government is happening.
What is e-Government policy? e-Government is a national strategy that has been launched to ensure that all local and central Government services should be made electronically available in the future years.
E-Government opens up many possibilities for innovating and improving Government services. Many governments are working toward providing citizens with access to information and services 24 hours a day, seven days a week from the convenience of their home or office PC. This requires organizing services by the needs of citizens, rather than by the agencies that provide them.
e-Government means joining up information and services in ways that cut across existing organisational and departmental boundaries. All organisations find multi-agency working and data sharing difficult. The successful organisations are the ones that overcome these difficulties.
Government agencies describe online and offline information and services using a consistent classification system [a metadata]. The result is an integrated catalogue of information that you can search via the Internet.
By definition, e-Government is simply the use of information and communications technology, such as the Internet, to improve the processes of Government.
By marking out e-Government as an activity distinct from health, education or quality of life, we promote the idea that implementing e-Government is an end in itself.
Investment e-Government decisions in the public sector, whether they involve IT or not, necessarily take place in a context of political and policy influences. No matter how solid or technically sophisticated an ROI analysis may be, it will not likely be the sole determinant of an investment decision. When deciding how to prepare and present an ROI analysis, therefore, it is best to take into account all the potential risks that influence the decision process.
e-Government it is more about leading change and transforming institutional processes with technology as the enabler and leadership as the driver. e-Government Fellows offer a unique perspective on e-Government and the challenges of implementing it [see Reach for the Future]. Also, e-Government can be funded through reengineering and other Management improvements.
