The impact of information technology (IT) on government in the last five years has been profound. Using the governments of Canada and Ontario (both recognized as international leaders in the use of IT) as case studies, Digital State at the Leading Edge is the first attempt to take a comprehensive view of the impact of IT upon the whole of government, including politics and campaigning, public consultation, service delivery, knowledge management, and procurement.
Using the concepts of channel choice, procurement market analysis, organizational integration, and digital leadership, this study explores the inter-relationships among all these aspects of the application of IT to government and politics. The authors seek to understand how IT is transforming government and what the nature of that transformation is. In the process, they offer an explanation of Canada's relative success, and conclude with practical advice to politicians and public servants about how to manage IT in government more effectively.
Based on new and original research undertaken over the last five years, the findings of this intriguing study will be of interest to those studying or working in the fields of public administration, political science, and information technology.

'Digital State at the Leading Edge fills a serious gap in the literature by offering a comprehensive, comparative analysis of the evolution of e-governance in Canada. The reality and the issues surrounding the evolution of the Digital State have lost the media's interest and this book will regenerate the dialogue in classrooms, as well as in public and private sectors.'
‘Digital State at the Leading Edge offers the reader a detailed understanding of the use, management, and impact of IT in the public sector, tying together the worlds of e-democracy, e-government, and the evolving workplace. The territory covered by this study is immense, and the manner in which the authors have brought it all together in an insightful way is truly impressive.’
