“…Given our research perspective on inter-organisational cooperation, we resorted to an empirically driven research design, rather than a traditional hypothesis testing which would have been less adequate in a case where the existing literature has not explored potential relevant factors and their relationships [32][33][34].…”

Abstract:The transition to a circular economy bodes well for a future of environmentally sustainable growth and economic development. The implications and advantages of a shift to a circular economy have been extensively demonstrated by the literature on the subject. What has not been sufficiently investigated is how this paradigm can be enabled through the inter-organisational cooperation among different business enterprises. In order to illustrate this point, in this paper we aim to contribute to the circular economy debate by describing and discussing such a meta-model of inter-organisational cooperation. The present study is therefore based on the analysis of three cases from an equal number of industries, from which we identified factors of potential impact for the stimulation of cooperation in a circular economy perspective. Last, but not least, we discuss the relations between the case studies and try to formulate all possible implications for both managers and research.

“…Smart governance means that various stakeholders are engaged in decision-making and public services (Albino et al, 2015); it also means that new technologies -that is, social media, the internet, open data, citizen sensors, and serious games -are used to strengthen the collaboration between citizens and urban governments (Federici, Braccini, & Saebø, 2015). From this perspective, one important element of governance is collaboration both across departments and with communities and making operations and services truly citizen-centric (Bătăgan, 2011).…”

“…For some authors, the development of ICT promises to transform urban governance into "smart governance" because ICT enables city governments to carry out their tasks more effectively and efficiently (Hoon Lee, Phaal, & Lee, 2013;Inayatullah, 2011;Winters, 2011). Moreover, ICT supports relationships among citizens and other organizations and presents new opportunities, particularly for governments, to promote new forms of communication, consultation, and dialogue between public organizations and citizens (Federici et al, 2015).…”

This study addresses the concept of smart governance in the context of smart cities, with a focus on analyzing the phenomenon of smart collaboration. Relying on the existing collaboration and participation concepts in the smart city domain, an empirical analysis was undertaken of how ICT can promote collaborative governance and increase the participation and engagement in government. The multiple case studies focus on three cities in Brazil that run municipal operations centers in an effort to "become smarter": Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, and Belo Horizonte. Interviews with directors, managers, and technicians shed light on the contribution that ICT makes in promoting an environment of collaboration in the government. The findings have revealed that ICT has an important role in supporting information sharing and integration between government agencies and external stakeholders, including citizens, especially in developing countries.

Part 1: Theoretical FoundationsInternational audienceAs a consequence of the interdisciplinary nature of Electronic Participation (e-Participation), current research on the field is fragmented and scattered. The exciting blurry boundaries and the immature identity of the field are making difficult the understanding of the main domain themes being investigated, in particular for “neophytes” researchers. In practice, several e-Participation initiatives often attract a wide audience but face serious limitations regarding involvement of those who attract. Recently, the potential of using social media to address citizens’ involvement deficit has been subject of academic debate. By consulting 44 e-Participation papers, considered highly relevant to the aforementioned challenges, this paper produces a general overview of e-Participation research, particularly through social media. The findings show that the e-Participation field still faces the challenge of identity and strive for gaining wider recognition as an independent research area. Concerning e-Participation through social media which seems to be partly overlooked in the field research, the politicians-citizen’s interaction has dominated scholars’ attention and the adoption of such initiatives sponsored and driven by governments are rarely examine. Based on the findings, several research suggestions, which could play a significant contribution to advance future e-Participation research, are proposed
