This book investigates the role of smart cities in the broader
context of urban innovation and e-government, identifies what a
smart city is in practice and highlights their importance to the
welfare of society. The book offers specific, measurable, and
action-oriented public sector planning and management principles
and ideas for smart governance in the era of global urbanization
and innovation to help with the challenges in maintaining the
democratic system of checks and balances as well as the division of
powers in a highly interconnected world. The book will be of
interest researchers, practitioners, students, and public sector IT
professionals that work within innovation management, public
administration, urban technologies and urban innovation, and public
local administration studies.
This book examines the role of bureaucracy in modern
technologically advanced societies, the traditional models of
governance, and the potential of information technology to
fundamentally change and improve governance. In the area of
public-domain governance, information and communication
technologies (ICTs) have empowered public agencies to improve their
activities and to strengthen the efficiency of their operations.
Technology has enabled optimized transfer of knowledge and
information between government agencies, more efficient supervision
and control of relationships with citizens, and higher efficiency
in law enforcement through better access to information. Throughout
the last decades, technology has been used to strengthen the role
of state bureaucracies and the relationship between the civil
service and the citizens. We have witnessed the transformative
powers of ICTs in private-sector enterprises in well-structured
technological landscapes, which has produced new ecosystems
comprised of software developers, providers, and consumers who
provide and consume new products and services in ecosystems that
are based on clear technological standards and shared modular
generic artefacts, which allow for distributed peer production.
ICTs will shape cultural and civic discourse and create products,
services and tools, relying on the open toolsets, technologies and
exchange of knowledge between peers. This book will be of
particular interest to government CIOs, IT/IS managers,
researchers, students, and practitioners in technical sciences,
public administration, business management, public policy and IS
management.

Various e-strategies have been developed since the late '90s in an
attempt to describe the governmental vision for administrative and
for societal change, the objectives and priorities with regard to
the development of the Information and Communication Technologies
(ICT) at national and at supranational levels. Terms such as the
European "Information Society", the U.S. "Information Highways" and
the Korean and Chinese "Informatization" try to describe social
transformation that occurs due to the ICT, and to determine means
with which governments will capitalize the ICT to improve social
life and to support economic growth. This book focuses on the
e-strategic management approaches that are followed worldwide,
addresses the gaps that appear between e-strategic updates, and
presents alternative strategic management methods adopted or to use
strategic management methods as a means to describe the e-strategic
evolution in their geographic areas. Each chapter evaluates
e-strategic management approaches, to define multi-criteria
decision-making systems for e-strategic transformation and
Indicative methods for e-strategic analysis. This book also
illustrates experiences from national and supranational cases,
which come from different geographic areas regarding e-strategic
planning and management, and demonstrates e-strategic initiation
and development across different countries and continents, and the
association between policies and ICT. It also seeks to perform a
systematic analysis of various representative cases, in order to
capture the realized e-Strategic transformation. It will be of
interest to scholars and policy-makers in public administration,
management, and information technology.
