“…Shaw et al [41] focus on port resilience planning and the importance of information sharing between stakeholders about key dependencies and alternative actions undertaken to achieve resilience in face of disasters. The approach proposed to information sharing uses the subjectivity of information from a supplier's perspective and from a user's perspective.…”

This paper reviews the state of the art on the resilience of complex systems by embracing different research areas and using bibliometric tools. The aim is to identify the main intellectual communities and leading scholars and to synthesize key knowledge of each research area. We also carry out a comparison across the research areas, aimed at analyzing how resilience is approached in any field, how the topic evolved starting from the ecological field of study, and the level of cross-fertilization among domains. Our analysis shows that resilience of complex systems is a multidisciplinary concept, which is particularly important in the fields of environmental science, ecology, and engineering. Areas of recent and increasing interest are also operation research, management science, business, and computer science. Except for environmental science and ecology, research is fragmented and carried out by isolated research groups. Integration is not only limited inside each field but also between research areas. In particular, we trace the citation links between different research areas and find a very limited number, revealing a scarce cross-fertilization among domains. We conclude by providing some directions for future research.

“…The data were analysed by using the hermeneutics method, which is a major subset of the interpretive approach. The approach is based on the concept that the understanding of data or a system as a whole is achieved by examining its smaller parts (Shaw, Grainger, & Achuthan, ). According to Young (), the method is used to understand both data and technology by drawing subjective meanings through the hermeneutic circle.…”

An information systems framework to improve the issuance of identity documents through enhanced data quality in the Republic of Angola

An individual identity document (ID) is the most important identification method within a country, for both the government and the citizens. However, the physical addresses captured and stored in the ID systems and printed on individual IDs in the Republic of Angola are consistently inconsistent, duplicated, and incorrect. As a result, government service delivery, such as basic sanitation, health care, and security are often challenged and compromised. Thus, the aim of this study was to develop an information systems framework to improve the current system that is used to issue IDs in the country. In order to achieve this aim, semistructured interviews were used to collect qualitative data. The data were collected from a governmental institution, the Ministry of Homeland, and from the community of Luanda in Angola. The data collected were hermeneutically analysed through the lens of the duality of structure from a structuration theory perspective. Based on the analysis, factors of influence were revealed and interpreted, which resulted in the development of a framework.The framework is intended to, from an information and communication technology (ICT) perspective, enhance the quality of data and improve the accuracy of issued IDs in Angola.Despite the current implications, there are no easy ways for the Angolan government to prevent incorrect, duplicate, and inconsistent information from being captured into the ID system. This problem exists because there is no system to validate the information that the government has received. Rose-Redwood, Alderman, and Azaryahu (2017) refer to such situations as a lack of technological advancement within the country. This is based on the fact that the current information system (IS) allows storage of incorrect, duplicate, and inconsistent physical addresses and for the same incorrect information to be printed on individuals' IDs. Thus, the aim of this study was to develop an IS framework that can be used to improve the current system in issuing IDs in the country. Based on this aim, the objectives of the study were (a) to identify the deficiencies within

Government departments have limited resources but they are responsible for the healthy functioning of whole markets. This tension is amplified by the opportunities to generate, share and use information from new data sources and digital technologies. Huge increases in volumes and types of data produced by sensors and firms' IT systems can potentially be shared between firms which can cause information overload. This paper uses government orchestration theory to investigate the problems and opportunities of the UK's maritime transport ministry as it supports resilience planning for the whole country's ports system. We build on the developing Lean Government (l-Government) literature by theorizing on the differences between government and other stakeholders. We use a case study to investigate how these differences hinder as well as support the role of a government department. And how the special perspective of an orchestrator can integrate and filter information, motivate diverse collaborators and support the use of orchestration platforms in l-Government.
