Introduction

Electronic government has been increasingly used by countries around the
world as a strategy for administrative reform. Government officials and
public managers invest a great amount of time and financial resources in an
attempt to achieve a myriad of potential benefits. However, e-government
projects very frequently fail to deliver the expected benefits due to
numerous technical, organizational, institutional, and contextual factors.
In order to clearly assess the success of e-government initiatives it is
necessary to clearly identify success measures and success factors.
E-government success measures could be conceptualized as ways to measure and
assess e-government expected characteristics, results, or benefits. In
contrast, e-government success factors could be thought of as different
variables, conditions, or factors that affect e-government initiatives.
Together, e-government success measures and success factors will help us to
better understand and evaluate the results of e-government initiatives.



Objective of the Book

This book will aim to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest
empirical research findings in the area of e-government success. It will be
written for academics and professionals who want to improve their
understanding of e-government success factors and success measures at all
levels of government and in very different political, economical, and
cultural contexts. The book will be a compilation of selected high quality
chapters covering concepts, theories, experiences, and practical
recommendations on the topics of e-government success factors and
e-government success measures.



Target Audience

The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals and
researchers working in the field of government information technologies in
various disciplines, e.g. public administration, political science,
communication, information science, administrative sciences and management,
sociology, computer science, and information technology, among others.
Moreover, the book will provide insights and support to government
executives concerned with the development, management, and evaluation of
complex e-government initiatives.
