Description
Summary:This paper offers a macro perspective of the various activities involved in the implementation of e-government through an interpretive analysis of the various e-government-related initiatives undertaken by the Singapore Government. The analysis lead to the identification of four main components in the implementation of e-government, namely (i) information content, (ii) ICT infrastructure, (iii) e-government infostructure, and (iv) e-government promotion. These four components were then conceptually integrated into the e-Government Implementation Framework. This paper suggests that this framework can either be used as a descriptive tool to organize and coordinate various e-government initiatives, or be used as a prescriptive structure to plan and strategize e-government implementation. Moreover, specific insights on each of the four components were also generated to provide further learning points to e-government practitioners.
