“…The Delphi technique has been used in a wide range of research since its development in the 1950s (Dalkey & Helmer, ). In the field of business and management, it has been employed in the study of marketing (Knutson, Beck, Singh, Kasavana, & Cichy, ; Larreche & Montgomerey, 1977), tourism (Muller, ; Yong, Keng, & Leng, 1988), supply chain management (Lummus, Vokurka, & Duclos, ; Melnyk, Lummus, Vokurka, Burns, & Sandor, ), business improvement (Harer, ; Ray & Sahu, ), knowledge management (Scholl, Konig, Meyer, & Heisig, ), project management (Bril, Bishop, & Walker, ), employee and public relations (Watson, ; Wiggington, ), and extensively in information systems and technologies (Bradley & Stewart, ; Hong, Trimi, Kim, & Hyun, ; Huang, Wu, & Chen, ; Kell, Tiwana, & Bush, ; Koskiala & Huhtanen, ; Liu, Zhang, Kell, & Chen, ; Schmidt, Lyytinen, Keil, & Cule, 2001). It is a particularly useful technique for gaining insight into complex phenomena where there is controversy, an absence of data, or future predictions are being made (Kosow & Gassner, ; Mitchell, ; Paliwoda, ; Petry, Maes, & Vlaskam, ; Skulmoski et al, ).…”

Blockchain has the potential to become a significant source of disruptive innovations in business and management. There is a scarcity of knowledge and understanding of blockchain techniques that hinders its academic research and practical application. Business managers need to understand the potential impact and threat of blockchain applications in order to gain and maintain competitive advantage. Blockchain applications appear to offer considerable performance improvement and commercialization opportunities.

Revista Latina de Comunicación Social, 72, pp. 818 , junto a la preocupación por la corrupción, el buen gobierno y la rendición de cuentas, ha provocado un importante aumento de los estudios sobre transparencia de las administraciones en los últimos años. Metodología: El objetivo de este artículo es exponer las diferentes complejidades metodológicas para analizar la transparencia de los contenidos publicados por las administraciones públicas en aspectos como la propia definición de transparencia, el objeto de estudio, los usuarios o los destinatarios. Resultados: Se presenta un modelo de análisis de la transparencia de las webs de los ayuntamientos: el proyecto Infoparticipa. La metodología que presentamos está basada en herramientas innovadoras que han establecido un mapa de la transparencia local en España. Discusión y conclusiones: El Mapa Infoparticipa ha transcendido el ámbito académico mostrando su utilidad social al impulsar la mejora de la información publicada en las webs.[EN] Introduction: The approval of the Transparency Law in Spain in 2013, along with concern about corruption, good governance and accountability has led to a significant increase in studies on

“…For example, E-government implementation in the US and Europe has helped to enhance the overall quality of services offered to citizens (Bertot, Jaeger, & McClure, 2008;Weerakkody, Dwivedi, & Kurunananda, 2009). This is also true for developing countries, where Egovernment has significantly helped to improve quality of services to citizens by eliminating some corrupt practices and speeding up internal government procedures (Basu, 2004;Hong, Trimi, Kim, & Hyun, 2015;Kettani, 2014;Weerakkody et al, 2009).…”

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the key research foci, methodologies, and theoretical perspectives adopted by researchers when studying E-government accessibility for persons with disabilities (PWDs), particularly in developing countries. The study aims to develop a conceptual framework for designing accessible E-government for PWDs in developing countries. Background: Studies on E-government accessibility for persons with disabilities in developing countries have been minimal. The few studies conducted until now have failed to integrate PWDs, a population already marginalized, into the digital society. Accessibility has been identified by researchers as a major hindrance to PWDs participating in E-government. It is imperative therefore to examine the manner in which researchers investigate and acquire knowledge about this phenomenon. Methodology : The study synthesizes literature from top IS journals following a systematic literature review approach. The data synthesis focuses on identifying key concepts relating to E-government accessibility for PWDs. Contribution: The study contributes to the field of E-government, with a focus on how E-government services can be made accessible to PWDs. The study calls on researchers to reflect on their epistemological and ontological paradigms when examining accessibility of E-government services in developing countries. Findings: The findings show that most researchers focus on the evaluation of E-government websites and predominantly adopt quantitative methods. The study also reveals that the use of technological determinism as a theoretical lens is high among researchers. Recommendations for Practitioners : The study recommends that E-government web developers and policy makers involve PWDs from design to evaluation in the development of E-government applications. Recommendation for Researchers: The study advocates the need to conduct studies on E-government accessibility by employing more qualitative and mixed approaches to gain in-depth and better understanding of the phenomenon. Impact on Society : This study creates greater awareness and points out inadequacies that society needs to address to make E-government more inclusive of and participatory for PWDs. Future Research: Further empirical work is required in order to refine the relevance and applicability of various constructs in EADM so as to arrive at a framework for addressing E-government accessibility for PWDs in developing countries.
