A Study for Exploration and Exploitation: Toward a Theory of Knowledge Sharing in Digital Government Projects

A Study about Exploration and Exploitation: Toward a Theory of Knowledge Sharing in Digital Government Projects

Abstract: This study examines knowledge sharing processes in digital government projects (DGPs). Knowledge sharing processes are a central feature of the functioning of government, but, with very few exceptions, they have received little attention in the literature. The importance of knowledge sharing has become even more evident with the rise of digital government initiatives, as these have a networking effect on bureaucracies, by bringing together individuals from different organizational units, with different skill sets, and different mental models, to work on a common goal – the implementation of the project. With multiple agencies and multidisciplinary knowledge coming together, it is necessary to combine and reconnect the required knowledge. Based on empirical data from four DGPs in two different countries, Switzerland and the United States of America, a theoretical model for knowledge sharing in DGPs is proposed.

Introduction: The possibilities the Internet affords have grown to be ever more important for government agencies in recent years. With tasks continuously growing in complexity and with more decentralized structures, Internetrelated technologies have become a necessity for government agencies to function successfully. In addition, the managerial mindset created by public sector reforms such as the National Performance Review (NPR) in the United States (Osborne & Gaebler 1992; National Performance Review 1993) or the New Public Management (NPM) in Europe (Barzelay 1992, 2001; Schedler 1995) demanded that citizens’ interests be at the core of public administration’s attention, advocating a customer orientation comparable to the private sector. Together with the information society as a driving force, this has led politicians and government officials the world over to make large investments in new information and communication technologies (ICT) in order to provide public services online. keep reading…

A Case Study on Importance of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Making a Heathy Information Society

Study about Importance of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Making a Heathy Information Society: Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria

Introduction: There is widespread research interest in information and communication technologies (ICTs). According to Crede & Mansell (1998), ICTs are crucially important for sustainable development in developing countries. Thioune (2003) notes that for the past two decades most developed countries have witnessed significant changes that can be traced to ICTs. These multi-dimensional changes have been observed in almost all aspects of life: economics, education, communication, and travel. In a technologydriven society, getting information quickly is important for both sender and receiver. ICTs have made it possible to quickly find and distribute information.

An information society is one that makes the best possible use of ICTs. Martin (1995) supports this view by describing it as a society in which the quality of life, as well as prospects for social change and economic development, depend increasingly upon information and its exploitation. In such a society, living standards, patterns of work and leisure, the education system, and marketplace are all influenced by advances in information and knowledge. This is evidenced by an increasing array of information intensive products and services. keep reading

Case Study on Information and Communication Technology in the Atolls: Maldives

Study about Information and Communication Technology in the Atolls: Maldives

Introduction: Information and communication technology (ICT) is a key issue for members of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations specialized agency for telecommunications. In that respect, the ITU has carried out a series of case studies researching ICT in different nations. This study looks at ICT diffusion in the Republic of Maldives.

It touches on specific problems such as isolation and undersized markets that small island developing states such as the Maldives face in adopting ICT. The study also examines how the Maldives is evolving into an information society, particularly relevant in the context of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), the first phase of which was held in Geneva, Switzerland in December 2003. keep reading..

A Case Study on ASPBAE Research on Information and Communication Technology

Case Study about ASPBAE Research on Information and Communication Technology

The challenge Bangladesh faces is how to become a learning society and to ensure that its citizens are equipped with the knowledge, skills and qualifications on information and communication technology (ICT) they will need in the next century. ICT revolution imposes particular challenges on education systems in Bangladesh. These challenges reduce to three broad areas. The first has to do with participation in the information society, the second considers how ICT impacts on access, cost effectiveness and quality of education,

While the third is to dowith the way that ICT changes the education process. However, ICT is contributing to everincreasing inequalities in Bangladesh through the so-called “digital divide” that splits the Bangladesh between those who are “ICT-literate” and the majority who are not and most of the women have no access to a computer and the Internet.

My Life as a Knowledge Worker: Peter Drucker

Peter Ferdinand Drucker (November 19, 1909 – November 11, 2005) was a writer, management consultant, and self-described “social ecologist.” His books and scholarly and popular articles explored how humans are organized across the business, government and the nonprofit sectors of society. His writings have predicted many of the major developments of the late twentieth century, including privatization and decentralization; the rise of Japan to economic world power; the decisive importance of marketing; and the emergence of the information society with its necessity of lifelong learning. In 1959, Drucker coined the term “knowledge worker” and later in his life considered knowledge work productivity to be the next frontier of management.
The leading management thinker describes seven personal experiences that taught him how to grow, change, and age.

A series of factors, including literacy and education, language, time, cost, geographical location of facilities, social and cultural nor ms, and women’s computer and information search and dissemination skills constrain women’s access to information technology.

Study on Electronic University Portugal

In 2002, the Portuguese government designed plans to guide the development of an Information Society in Portugal. Strategic groups were identified to act as ?contaminators? of ICT usage for large fringes of the society. The academic community was one of the identified groups: its capacity to influence and directly or indirectly reach a significant number of individuals was regarded as an opportunity for action. It was in this spirit that the Electronic University Initiative was designed. Its main objective: to create wireless academic networks, providing relevant contents and services to students and teachers, prompting computer and internet usage. Click here to read more…
