This work provides in-depth case studies of the state of
e-government today. The book chronicles the early days of
e-government and presents a collective snapshot in time as to where
governments - at the federal, state and local levels - are today as
they continue their march toward e-government. Editors Abramson and
Morin present a comprehensive progress report on e-government
before a distinguished list of contributors discuss such varied
topics as the quality of federal websites, technology and
innovation in the State Department, online voting and the
public-sector information security. Through grants for research and
forms, the IBM Endowment for the Business of Government stimulates
research and facilitates discussion on new approaches to improving
the effectiveness of government at the federal, state, local and
international levels.
Just after 9:00 a.m. on February 1, 2003, the space shuttle
"Columbia" broke apart and was lost over Texas. This tragic event
led, as the "Challenger" accident had 17 years earlier, to an
intensive government investigation of the technological and
organizational causes of the accident. The investigation found
chilling similarities between the two accidents, leading the
"Columbia" Accident Investigation Board to conclude that NASA
failed to learn from its earlier tragedy.
Despite the frequency with which organizations are encouraged to
adopt learning practices, organizational learning -- especially in
public organizations -- is not well understood and deserves to be
studied in more detail. This book fills that gap with a thorough
examination of NASA's loss of the two shuttles. After offering an
account of the processes that constitute organizational learning,
Julianne G. Mahler focuses on what NASA did to address problems
revealed by "Challenger "and its uneven efforts to institutionalize
its own findings. She also suggests factors overlooked by both
accident commissions and proposes broadly applicable hypotheses
about learning in public organizations.
