What can e-Commerce and e-Government learn from each other?

ABSTRACT

Comparative studies of the phenomena of e-Commerce/e-Business and e-Government have not yet emerged. However, such studies would most likely be instrumental in fostering cross-fertilization between the two evolutionary trajectories. They would further deepen the understanding of the sector-specific similarities and differences. Comparative research would also help establish performance measures and success criteria. This poster develops a vantage point for such a study.
