“…Consequently, ICT enabled public sector reforms have been discussed as development processes which mimic the evolving nature of ICT (Gauld, 2009). Accordingly, we find literature which debates these reforms as a phenomenon that can be described in terms of its development phases (Layne & Lee, 2001;Norris, 2001;Torres, Pina, & Acerete, 2005). The different phases are proposed to highlight how new functionalities designed in ICT enable changes in the nature and organization of governments' activities.…”

The purpose of this paper is to offer a critical discussion of information system adoption in the public sector (often referred to as e-government) and to contribute to the debate by offering a public value perspective. The paper points to the public value paradigm as an alternative approach to studying ICT-enabled public sector reforms. This paradigm, we argue, proposes an alternative way of framing the nature of the problems faced when ICT enabled public sector reforms are initiated and studied. The public value perspective proposes a new and richer context in which to study and research these phenomena. It also calls for the redefinition of the ways we assess e-government in the context of public sector reforms. It is therefore seen as vital to evaluate the socio-political impact of ICT adoption in the public sector.

“…Attempting to understand these initiatives has become an attractive field of study, gaining space in journals and at a number of conferences for the study of eGov (Heeks and Bailur, 2007;Rose and Grant, 2010;Torres et al, 2005). In this field, many papers look at eGov in industrialized countries, while other researchers study the process in developing countries (Grönlund and Horan, 2004).…”

“…The definition of the term has evolved in that the scope of electronic government capacities has grown (Rose and Grant, 2010). Therefore, eGov is no longer seen merely as how to provide information or services using ICT, but also as a way of transforming how the public and government interact, improving the social, political and economic relations between these agents, empowering citizens and democratizing access to government information (Bwalya, 2009;Cunha, 2010;Löfstedt, 2007;Luna-Reyes and Gil-Garcia Romero, 2012;Torres et al, 2005). The findings of Rana et al (2011) show that studies on eGov are conducted in many countries around the world.…”

The aim of this paper is to suggest alternatives for positioning a developing country in the international eGov research. We conducted a literature review, examining both Brazilian and international publications. We analyzed the domain of collaboration in the field through a social network analysis of authors, institutions and countries. Our study identified that the discussions concerning eGov are predominant; there is more intense collaboration in the network of institutions than of authors; the co-authorship network reflects the existence of a select number of central authors and, not surprisingly, the study of eGov is centralized in the USA and UK. This study complements previous studies and provides further understanding on how authors, institutions and countries cooperate. The findings of the study are not limited to Brazil, other countries that have barriers to internalization of research can benefit from the data.

“…As a city development strategy, smart cities rely on key technologies, such as modern transport technologies and the necessary policy framework or smart governance, e.g., "e-governance" or "e-democracy" [9][10][11]. Moreover, other technology aspects of smart cities, including security/safety, green, efficient and sustainable energy, also need to be considered [12,13].…”

Smart cities link the city services, citizens, resource and infrastructures together and form the heart of the modern society. As a "smart" ecosystem, smart cities focus on sustainable growth, efficiency, productivity and environmentally friendly development. By comparing with the European Union, North America and other countries, smart cities in China are still in the preliminary stage. This study offers a comparative analysis of ten smart cities in China on the basis of an extensive database covering two time periods: 2005-2007 and 2008-2010. The unsupervised computational neural network self-organizing map (SOM) analysis is adopted to map out the various cities based on their performance. The demonstration effect and mutual influences between these ten smart cities are also discussed by using social network analysis. Based on the smart city performance and cluster network, current problems for smart city development in China were pointed out. Future research directions for smart city research are discussed at the end this paper.
