“…to build a decision management system. Accurate smart public service delivery through providing the entire interconnection, integration and virtualization of its Space, Services and Structure (3S) [41] .Taking medical services as an example, Wu et al, (2022) used three-year panel data analysis of China's CHARLS national baseline survey and found that the informatization effect created by smart city construction can reduce the use of residents' outpatient services and increase the use of inpatient services, which is conducive to improving the health status of residents [42] . At the level of technological effect, a typical smart city project means not only the involvement of large multinational corporations and local public authorities, but also the involvement of local companies, usually aiming to translate general technological solutions into actual local living needs [43] .…”

Can Smart City Construction Promote the Level of Public Services? Quantitative Evidence From China

How to effectively improve the level of public services(PSL) has long been a key topic of concern in the theoretical and practical circles. The smart city is a real product of the high integration of digital technology and urban governance, which has a close theoretical correlation with PSL, but there is no academic research to quantitatively verify the relationship between the two. To bridge this research gap, this paper empirically analyzes the relationship between smart city construction and PSL by constructing panel data of 212 prefecture-level cities in China from 2006 to 2018 and using the difference-in-difference (DID) model. The baseline regression finds that smart city construction significantly improves PSL during the sample period. Among them, smart city construction improved the quality of education and medical services (EAM) by about 5.18% and the level of social life security (SLS) by about 4.04%. This result still holds after the robustness test. The mechanism analysis found that smart city construction has a significant positive impact on PSL through informational effect, technological effect, and economic effect, respectively. The above study examines both the policy effects of smart city construction and provides a course of action to optimize PSL. The study suggests that the public service effects of smart city construction can be further released by transforming the urban governance model and establishing a systematic technological innovation mechanism.

“…Compared with economic indicators such as GDP and fiscal revenue, productive output indicators in the domain of public service and public governance are less visible (Wu and Zhou, 2018), making it difficult for the superior government departments to evaluate and motivate subordinate government departments based on key empirical indicators. 12 Under such circumstances, for both tiao-side and kuai-side departments in grassroots governments, if they want to gain advantage in performance competition, they have to as much as possible to come up with "highlights" of their work to attract the attention of higher-level government departments through governance innovation and form a good impression.…”

In recent years, the focus of urban grassroots governance in China has experienced a fundamental change in direction from economic growth to public service and social management. Economic growth can be easily quantified while public service and social management cannot, thus performance evaluation is largely dependent on “impression-based results”. Under such circumstances, a new mechanism of “paired competition” has been put in place to pair superior vertical lines of authority ( tiao) with subordinate horizontal levels of grassroots governments ( kuai) on a voluntary basis. Pairs compete with other pairs in areas of public services and social management. Paired competition can facilitate close cooperation between the tiao side and the kuai side, promote innovation, and generate quick “impression-based results”. However, the mechanism also generates negative incentives, which lead to for excessive innovation and the reluctance to adopt good practices on the part of rival pairings. The case study detailed here is that of a “community analysis tool” promoted by the civil affairs bureau of “district A” in a major Chinese city. In addition to examining the organizational and operational logic of “paired competition”, this study also compared “paired competition” with the traditional methods of the “promotion tournament competition” and “special-purpose project system”.

In the last decade, information technology tools have witnessed enormous development. Nowadays, they are used in all daily human tasks. Organizations and companies have recently started using information technology tools in all sectors. For example, the decision-making process is an essential task in all organizations. By using information technology components, companies can create a decision-making system that produces more accurate results with less time, effort, and cost. In this paper, the authors describe the role of information technology tools in the decision-making process. The impact of using information technology in the decision-making process was studied at a telecommunications company in Iraq. The authors use a descriptive-analytical method to describe this impact. They adopt a questionnaire to collect information and answer it. The analysis of the answers is done using SPSS. The findings indicate a link between using information technology tools and making sound decisions.
