The mobile government has become a reality in a large majority of countries around the world. However, the use of mobile apps (small software programs for use on mobile devices) to link government Websites and information is a recent trend that is becoming of interest to citizens and public officials. The uses, advantages, and disadvantages have recently become a study field for several scholars around the globe. The mobile government is not new for e-government scholars; however, the explosion of apps and the increase of smart phones have created a new trend in the mobile government field. In order to understand these phenomena in the Mexican society, the authors have gathered data from different sources: government departments, business enterprises, and citizen organizations. Based on this information, they analyze the impact of apps across the country and suggest a classification method that can be used for a better understanding of this new field. In this chapter, the authors discuss five small case studies, which they consider good examples to follow by different government organizations. To accomplish this objective, they divide this chapter into seven main sections. After the introduction, the authors provide a literature review, describe the method of study and classify the apps, discuss the findings with the model application, present the case studies for government apps, discuss ideas for future research on government apps, and then in the final section, they present final remarks and conclusions of the investigation.

“…E-governance refers to new processes of coordination which apply the advancements of information and communications technology (ICT) to governance (Allen et al 2001).

The purpose of this research is to assess citizen's perceptions of corruption and e-governance in Jordan, Ethiopia, and Fiji. The research is based on surveys using structured questionnaires and focus group interviews. Conclusions are derived from a mix of descriptive and inferential analysis. The survey covers a total of 1212 respondents using stratified sampling. Findings reveal that public sector corruption and demands for bribes are increasing in each country. Only a few people are aware of e-governance and feel that it can help in curbing corruption. The study proposes that in order to mitigate negative forces in the implementation of egovernance such as corruption, digital divide, and urban bias, developing countries need to apply a marketing approach to e-governance services.

“…Public sector organizations are among them. This is due to, among other things, the constantly increasing demand for more efficient and cost-effective services for citizens, businesses and also among public organizations themselves and the continuing effort to embrace e-government [3], [22]. Furthermore this has led to pervasiveness and dependency on IT in the current dynamic and often turbulent multiservice provision environments, where effective management of IT and its alignment with business goals is essential for the success.…”
