Government information systems are big business (costing over 1 per
cent of GDP a year). They are critical to all aspects of public
policy and governmental operations. Governments spend billions on
them - for instance, the UK alone commits GBP14 billion a year to
public sector IT operations. Yet governments do not generally
develop or run their own systems, instead relying on private sector
computer services providers to run large, long-run contracts to
provide IT. Some of the biggest companies in the world (IBM, EDS,
Lockheed Martin, etc) have made this a core market. The book shows
how governments in some countries (the USA, Canada and Netherlands)
have maintained much more effective policies than others (in the
UK, Japan and Australia). It shows how public managers need to
retain and develop their own IT expertise and to carefully maintain
well-contested markets if they are to deliver value for money in
their dealings with the very powerful global IT industry. This book
describes how a critical aspect of the modern state is managed, or
in some cases mismanaged. It will be vital reading for public
managers, IT professionals, and business executives alike, as well
as for students of modern government, business, and information
studies.
