Creating Open Government Data ecosystems
The effects of open government data on the inclusiveness of governance networks
In order to improve legitimacy, accountability and effectiveness for both policy making and service delivery, governance networks can benefit from the knowledge, skills and other key resources of external actors. However, these networks are often prone to social and cognitive exclusion of outsiders, reducing the potential benefits of greater inclusiveness and diversity. Inclusiveness within governance networks is defined here as the possibility f…
Digital government and public management research
Information and information technologies have become ubiquitous in the public sector and it is difficult to think of a public problem or government service that does not involve them in some substantial way. Public management (PM) research now incorporates the effects of the availability and quality of data as well as the technologies used in the public sector. From a PM perspective, digital government (DG) could be considered an essential aspect…

The influence of institutional factors on e-governance development and performance
This research explored the effect of institutional factors on e-governance development and performance, with particular attention to Russian Federation conditions. The authors conducted a multi-method case study that explores how institutional factors appear to influence the performance of e-governance. Using the case of the Russian Federation, the analysis focused on underlying regulative, normative, and cultural factors revealed through interna…

The Evolution and Continuing Challenges of E‐Governance
E‐governance comprises the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to support public services, government administration, democratic processes, and relationships among citizens, civil society, the private sector, and the state. Developed over more than two decades of technology innovation and policy response, the evolution of e‐governance is examined in terms of five interrelated objectives: a policy framework, enhanced public se…
Authority and Leadership Patterns in Public Sector Knowledge Networks
Knowledge and information-sharing networks are emerging in an increasing number of government programs and policy arenas. This article reports the results of an exploratory investigation into ways in which leadership and formal authority shaped the course of four knowledge network initiatives. The study treats authority as both formal and perceived. Leadership is assessed in terms of style, focus, and communication strategies. Analysis of the var…
Challenges and Strategies for Conducting International Public Management Research
Cross-cultural management research is a valuable but complex and error-prone endeavor. The main challenges the authors encountered in conducting a multinational research project included nonequivalence of key concepts, cultural stereotypes, assumptions of universality, and difficulties in comparative analysis. The authors identified crucial questions that need to be asked at each stage of the research for it to be both reliable and valid. These q…
Digital Government Research
Learning From Crisis
Many of the challenges faced by government and the community in responding to the World Trade Center attack involved the use of information and technology linked to professional and organizational relationships. This study involves content analysis of records and in-depth interviews with 29 participants in the response and identifies key problems associated with technology, information, and relationships as well as resources and strategies. The c…

Government and Technology
In 1983, Ithiel de Sola Pool took stock of U.S. information policy and its response to changing communication technologies.His comprehensive, critical, and persuasive assessment, Technologies of Freedom, offered this observation: "[T]he relationship between technology and institutions is not simple or unidirectional, nor are the effects immediate.Institutions that evolve in response to one technological environment persist and to some degree are …
Interagency information sharing
The sharing of program information among government agencies can help achieve important public benefits: increased productivity; improved policy-making; and integrated public services. Information sharing, however, is often limited by technical, organizational, and political barriers. This study of the attitudes and opinions of state government managers shows that more than 8 in 10 judge information sharing to be moderately to highly beneficial. …
