government cloud computing and national data sovereignty
Policy & Internet, 2012Co-Authors: Kristina IrionAbstract:Government cloud services are a new development at the intersection of electronic government and cloud computing which holds the promise of rendering government service delivery more effective and efficient. Cloud services are virtual, dynamic, and potentially stateless which has triggered governments' concern for data sovereignty. This article explores data sovereignty in relation to government cloud services and how national strategies and international policy evolve. It concludes that data sovereignty presents national governments with a legal risk that cannot be adequately addressed with technology or through contractual arrangements alone. Governments therefore adopt strategies that aim to retain sovereignty over government information.

government cloud computing and national data sovereignty
Social Science Research Network, 2012Co-Authors: Kristina IrionAbstract:Government cloud services are a new development at the intersection of electronic government and cloud computing which holds the promise of rendering government service delivery more effective and efficient. Cloud services are virtual, dynamic and potentially stateless which has triggered governments’ concern about data sovereignty. This paper explores data sovereignty in relation to government cloud services and how national strategies and international policy evolve. It concludes that for countries data sovereignty presents a legal risk which can not be adequately addressed with technology or through contractual arrangements alone. Governments therefore adopt strategies to retain exclusive jurisdiction over government information.

future government data strategies data driven enterprise or data steward exploring definitions and challenges for the government as data enterprise
International Conference on Digital Government Research, 2020Co-Authors: W Van Donge, Nitesh Bharosa, Marijn JanssenAbstract:Comparable to the concept of a data(-driven) enterprise, the concept of a ggovernment as data (-driven) enterprise' is gaining popularity as a data strategy. However, what it implies is unclear. The objective of this paper is to clarify the concept of the government as data (-driven) enterprise, and identify the challenges and drivers that shape future data strategies. Drawing on literature review and expert interviews, this paper provides a rich understanding of the challenges for developing sound future government data strategies. Our analysis shows that two contrary data strategies dominate the debate. On the one hand is the data-driven enterprise strategy that focusses on collecting and using data to improve or enrich government processes and services (internal orientation). On the other hand, respondents point to the urgent need for governments to take on data stewardship, so other parties can use data to develop value for society (external orientation). Since these data strategies are not mutually exclusive, some government agencies will attempt to combine them, which is very difficult to pull off. Nonetheless, both strategies demand a more data minded culture. Moreover, the successful implementation of either strategy requires mature data governance - something most organisations still need to master. This research contributes by providing more depth to these strategies. The main challenge for policy makers is to decide on which strategy best fits their agency's roles and responsibilities and develop a shared roadmap with the external actors while at the same time mature on data governance.

lean government and platform based governance doing more with less
Government Information Quarterly, 2013Co-Authors: Marijn Janssen, Elsa EstevezAbstract:Governments from all over the world are looking for ways to reduce costs while at the same time to stimulate innovation. While pursuing both objectives, governments face a major challenge—to operate in a connected environment, engage stakeholders and solve societal problems by utilizing new methods, tools, practices and governance models. As result, fundamental changes are taking place on how government operates. Such changes are under the larger umbrella of ‘lean government’ (l-Government). Lean government is a new wave which is appearing as a response to traditional approaches—like electronic government (e-government) and transformational government (t-Government), and aims at reducing the complexity of the public sector by simplifying and streamlining organizational structures and processes, at the same time at stimulating innovation by mobilizing stakeholders. In l-Government, public organizations introduce platforms facilitating innovation and interactions with other public organizations, business and citizens, and focus on their orchestration role. Experimentation, assessment and gradual improvement based on user requirements are key factors for realizing l-Government.

the entanglement of enterprise architecture and it governance the cases of norway and the netherlands
Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2011Co-Authors: Gustav Aagesen, Marijn Janssen, Anne Fleur Van Veenstra, John KrogstieAbstract:Governments are developing infrastructures to spur e-government development. These e-government infrastructures are based on the notion of ICT as a utility that can be (re-)used by organizations at all levels of government to create their own service provisioning and to facilitate interaction with each other. This paper investigates the development of such infrastructures by looking at regional and national aspects. A cross-country comparative framework is developed and 2 countries are analyzed. We found that infrastructure development in both countries is similar at a global level, yet the governance is different. While Norway aims to enable integration by developing a Business Process Management building block on the national level, in the Netherlands local governments compose and integrate the building blocks with implementation support from the national level. These differences between e- government infrastructure developments of the two countries can be attributed to the degree of centralization of government and the degree of active support given to e-government developments.

Form of Government Still Matters: Fostering Innovation in U.S. Municipal Governments
American Review of Public Administration, 2012Co-Authors: Kimberly L. Nelson, James H. SvaraAbstract:Using data on the adoption of e-government, reinventing government, and strategic practices, and the Nelson and Svara (2010) typology of municipal government form, the authors investigate the characteristics of municipal governments that are related to the implementation of innovative practices. The authors find that higher innovation rates are associated with council-manager governments—both with and without an elected mayor, higher population, greater growth, lower unemployment, sunbelt location, and higher population density. Controlling for all other variables, form of government (and variations within form) account for the greatest explanation of the adoption of innovative practices in municipalities. The authors conclude that form of government remains an important variable to consider when investigating local government management and performance.

state level autonomy and municipal government structure influence on form of government outcomes
The American Review of Public Administration, 2011Co-Authors: Kimberly L. NelsonAbstract:A number of recent studies have argued that municipal governments have so significantly modified elements of their form of government that it is now difficult to distinguish form. However, none of these studies considers the influence of state government on these choices. This study uses a comprehensive data set of U.S. municipal governments with populations of at least 10,000 and a data set of state legislative provisions related to form of government to investigate the influence of state law on municipal form of government choices. The findings demonstrate that state law is associated with some choices of government form and that structures that hybridize the council-manager and mayor-council forms of government are still relatively uncommon.

super pilots subsidizing or self organization stimulating e government initiatives in dutch local governments
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2003Co-Authors: Marcel HoogwoutAbstract:Like many other western countries, the Dutch central government has several programs to stimulate e-government development in local governments. The constitutional relations between central and local governments in The Netherlands, however, are such, that the development of online service delivery is part of the autonomy of the local authorities. Central government has little formal authority to command development efforts on a local level. Through a PR-offensive, subsidy programs and intervening as a market party, the central government tries to convince the local authorities to invest in the development of online service delivery. This paper describes three different approaches used by the Dutch central government to stimulate e-government initiatives in local governments. The central question is to what extent each approach contributes to the e-government aims of central government.

organizing for online service delivery the effects of network technology on the organization of transactional service delivery in dutch local government
Electronic Government, 2002Co-Authors: Marcel HoogwoutAbstract:Dutch central government has, like many other governments, set high aims to offer government services on line. In 2002 about 25% of all services should be online. Because over 60% of all government services are provided by local governments, the challenge is to help these relatively less powerful local government organizations to realise this ambition. Local governments have to operate in an environment where investing in e-government is not evident. To overcome the problems they encounter in improving (online) government services new forms for organizing the service delivery emerge. This paper explores the problems local governments encounter in improving their transactional (online) service delivery and investigates the organizational solutions that arise to overcome these problems. The central question will be to what extent the new organizational forms contribute to the central government aims to realise the high e-government ambitions.

e government services and social media adoption experience of small local governments in nebraska state
Government Information Quarterly, 2017Co-Authors: Xian Gao, Jooho LeeAbstract:Abstract Considering that social media as new tools complement existing e-government services, it is necessary to understand what types of e-government services better fit with different social media tools. The roles of e-government services in the adoption of social media in government are understudied and little is known about social media use in small local governments. This research addresses these research gaps by exploring the relationship between different types of e-government service and social media adoption by small local governments. It also explores how these small local governments use social media. Drawing from e-government and social media literature, it offers hypotheses by focusing on the relationship between e-government service characteristics and the adoption of Facebook and Twitter in the context of small local government. Using original survey and census data of local governments in Nebraska, it finds that transaction services are associated with the adoption of Facebook while information services are related to the adoption of Twitter.
