Inhaltsangabe

Information and technology that supports its collection, communication and analysis is a core concern of modern government, making 'e-government' (electronically enabled government) fundamental to the ongoing 'reinvention' of public administration. The spending of public money is always intriguing and perhaps money spent on ICT has been the most intriguing of all, with some spectacular failures costing millions. This book is written for a general audience and takes a critical look at policies, problems and prospects for e-government in a series of case studies. Why have ICT failures in the public sector occurred and what lessons do they provide for the future?
