The public sector uses electronic data interchange (EDI) in areas
such as the health sector, procurement, meat inspection, taxation,
transportation, and the courts. Also, government encourages private
sector to enhance their use of electronic communication to secure
faster and more reliable exchange of data, to save manpower, and to
enable organizational transformation to the information society. In
EDI and Data Networking in the Public Sector authors from eight
countries report on the modes of governmental intervention to
stimulate the usage of EDI and the challenges facing government as
they try to smoothen their own units via organizational management.
With cases (a total of 14 chapters) from Singapore, Denmark, USA,
Sweden, England, Australia, and the Netherlands, this book finds
that government in some countries is ahead of the private sector in
utilization of EDI and that government at both supranational,
central and local levels are active players on the field. Local
levels of government and the quasi-governmental organizations
provide an important supplement to the efforts by central
government to increase the overall usage of EDI. EDI and Data
Networking in the Public Sector also indicates that the payoff from
investments in EDI are slow to evolve. Dreams of quick return are
not likely to emerge. Also, return of investments are highly linked
to the organizations' ability to change their work processes along
with the investments in EDI. The authors indicate that many public
sector organizations lack the steam and vision necessarily to
transform the government to a more technological based
organization, where public procurement, taxation, medicine ordering
etc. takes advantage ofthe potentials in EDI and data networking.
EDI and Data Networking in the Public Sector will be of interest to
all researchers and practitioners in MIS, Computer Science and
International Trade working on the adoption of new technology.
