Description

There are various viewpoints on the nature of Electronic Governance research and many have questioned the distinction between traditional Information Systems (IS) and e-Governance research. The multi- versus inter-disciplinary perspectives of e-Governance has also been advanced. Consensus is growing on the need to build foundations or theories to underpin technological solution both in the social and computing science spheres. Studies into the nature and maturity of e-Governance research have also been carried out with varying conclusions. Against this background, the panelists will first attempt to characterize e-Governance research and later establish the state-of-the art in the domain. A roadmap for e-governance research will be presented and augmented with some new proposals on the applications of Computing Science to gain better understanding and for more effectively supporting the defining characteristics of the Public Policy and Public Administration Management domains.

Biography

Jochen Scholl serves as an Assistant Professor in the Information School at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA. From the University of Albany, NY/SUNY he earned a Ph.D. in Information Science. He also holds a Master's degree in Business Administration from the GSBA Zurich, Switzerland. My research interests are focused on modeling human-originated complex systems, in particular, by means of system dynamics. Besides quantitative approaches he also embarks on qualitative research using, among other methods, Action Research. Areas of study include information management, electronic government, organizational change, process change, business intelligence, information systems success, and private-sector firm survival.
