Capability maturity model for ARCON implementation for e-government services

Abstract

A highly decentralized e-governance structure of a country may have nearly independent sub-nationals (provinces/states and local governments etc.). These sub-nationals may independent politically, financially and administratively. These liberties allow them to form an independent e-government or online services but individual efforts are costly approach and face barriers regarding integration. To avoid these issues, they may form or join collaborative network for whole e-government or for few eservices as of ARCON (A Reference model for Collaborative Networks). To join this network, sub-nationals must have some degree of readiness and maturities such as political, fiscal and administrative. In this paper, a capability maturity model has proposed to join a collaborate network for e-services.

Towards a Reference Model for Mass Collaborative Learning

“…It has, for example, been applied to the PROVE initiative (a Portuguese network in the agri-food sector that enables small farmers to sell their goods directly to consumers) [15]. ARCON has also been applied for different purposes including but not limited to, e-government and e-services [16], trust management [17], decomposing value for the customer [18], and learning in on-line and local University of the Third Age (U3A) in Australia [19].…”
