Government 3.0 - Next Generation Government Technology Infrastructure and Services

Historically, technological change has had significant effect on the locations of administrative activity, their costs, the nature of administrative tasks, the skill sets needed by officials, rules and regulations, and the types of interactions citizens have with their public authorities. This book will provide insights into the technologies in the context of their applications to better workings of government and transformation of service delivery. It will also examine possible negative side effects that may result from the adoption of these technologies, and to provide answers to the question about the next steps with respect to e-government development or public sector innovation. This next generation Public Sector Innovation is what the authors have labeled "Government 3.0". The goal is that technology policy makers will benefit from the vision created by the various scenarios that will be developed in the first part of the book. Researchers (ICT and Information systems) at the same time will be able to address the challenges around the development, adoption and use of the technologies described in the second part the book. Public administration researchers and practitioners should also benefit from the elaborate on related issues and roadmaps for the transition into Government 3.0 contained in the third part of the book. The book will be suitable for graduate courses Public Sector Innovation, Innovation in Public Administration, E-Government and Information Systems.
