In every part of the world information and technology are changing
society and challenging the structures, roles, and management of
traditional government institutions. At the same time, universal
needs for human and social development, environmental protection,
commercial and financial stability, and scientific and
technological advancement demand governmental attention. In this
complex and changing environment, governments are still expected to
provide for the public good through legal and political processes,
and public programs and services. Digital transformation,
electronic government, government 2.0, and electronic governance
are just some of the labels used to characterize the ideas and
actions that underlie adaptation, transformation, and reform
efforts. This book contributes to the ongoing dialog within the
digital government research and practice community by addressing
leadership and management challenges through the interplay of five
interconnected themes: management, policy, technology, data, and
context. These themes are evident in a wide range of topics
including policy informatics, smart cities, cross-boundary
information sharing, service delivery, and open government, among
others. Accordingly, it includes chapters that explore these themes
conceptually and empirically and that emphasize the importance of
context, the need for cross-boundary thinking and action, a public
value approach to performance, and the multi-dimensional
capabilities necessary to succeed in a dynamic, multi-stakeholder
environment. The chapters in this book were originally published as
a special issue of the journal, Public Management Review.
This edited volume discusses smart cities and smart governance
within the framework of the 22nd century sustainable city. Written
by members of the Smart Cities Smart Government Research Practice
Consortium (SCSGRPC), an international multidisciplinary consortium
of researchers and practitioners devoted to studying smart
governance, this book provides a foundation for global efforts to
envision and prepare for the next generation city by advancing
understanding of the nature of and need for novel policies, new
administrative practices, and enabling technologies required to
advance urban governance, governments, and infrastructure. The
chapters focus on practical models and approaches, theoretical
frameworks, policy models, emerging issues, questions and research
problems, as well as including case studies from different parts of
the world. A valuable addition to the body of knowledge on
smartness in urban government, this book will be of use to
researchers in the fields of public administration, political
science, information science, and information systems, as well as
policy makers and government officials working on implementing
smart technology in their cities.
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of
sensors and the Internet of Things (IoT) from a government and
public policy perspective. Since 2011, federal spending on IoT has
been growing at a compound annual rate of ten percent. New
technologies, such as sensors, and new kinds of data, such as big
data, are creating new ways to systematically capture data and to
use it to respond to complex problems. Some of these new
technologies and applications have been identified and studied in
recent literature in terms of their relevance to government. This
volume adds to the literature by presenting sound theories and
concepts for understanding the opportunities and challenges
governments face when seeking to improve public services and
government operations through the use of IoT. It also includes
innovative methodologies for building understanding of the
potential of a smart and connected government. In addition, the
book offers relevant case studies and practical recommendations for
the development, management, and evaluation of public policies and
government programs.

This book provides a comprehensive approach to the study of policy
analytics, modelling and informatics. It includes theories and
concepts for understanding tools and techniques used by governments
seeking to improve decision making through the use of technology,
data, modelling, and other analytics, and provides relevant case
studies and practical recommendations. Governments around the world
face policy issues that require strategies and solutions using new
technologies, new access to data and new analytical tools and
techniques such as computer simulation, geographic information
systems, and social network analysis for the successful
implementation of public policy and government programs. Chapters
include cases, concepts, methodologies, theories, experiences, and
practical recommendations on data analytics and modelling for
public policy and practice, and addresses a diversity of data
tools, applied to different policy stages in several contexts, and
levels and branches of government. This book will be of interest of
researchers, students, and practitioners in e-government, public
policy, public administration, policy analytics and policy
informatics.
This book will provide one of the first comprehensive approaches to
the study of smart city governments with theories and concepts for
understanding and researching 21st century city governments
innovative methodologies for the analysis and evaluation of smart
city initiatives. The term "smart city" is now generally used to
represent efforts that in different ways describe a comprehensive
vision of a city for the present and future. A smarter city infuses
information into its physical infrastructure to improve
conveniences, facilitate mobility, add efficiencies, conserve
energy, improve the quality of air and water, identify problems and
fix them quickly, recover rapidly from disasters, collect data to
make better decisions, deploy resources effectively and share data
to enable collaboration across entities and domains. These and
other similar efforts are expected to make cities more intelligent
in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, productivity, transparency,
and sustainability, among other important aspects. Given this
changing social, institutional and technology environment, it seems
feasible and likeable to attain smarter cities and by extension,
smarter governments: virtually integrated, networked,
interconnected, responsive, and efficient. This book will help
build the bridge between sound research and practice expertise in
the area of smarter cities and will be of interest to researchers
and students in the e-government, public administration, political
science, communication, information science, administrative
sciences and management, sociology, computer science, and
information technology. As well as government officials and public
managers who will find practical recommendations based on rigorous
studies that will contain insights and guidance for the
development, management, and evaluation of complex smart cities and
smart government initiatives.
