ABSTRACT

Each society requires information and communication between people. Available information and communication could deeply influence economy and governance of a society. Appearance and spread of the Internet has substantially changed information and communication impacting economy and governance. The changes may be very beneficial to a society when the right strategy is adopted for harmonizing governmental and economical issues. It appears that most of problems related with transformation of business into e-business and government into e-government are quite similar in different countries independently of the level of their development. The aim of this tutorial is to discuss the strategic impact of e-government on economy and society. In the tutorial, e-Government is seen as a lever to e-economy providing young people finishing schools and universities with a possibility to create job in innovative enterprises offering e-content and e-services for both private and public sectors. The tutorial also discusses conditions under which transformation of traditional government into e-government may contribute to cutting costs of administration and improving its efficiency.

The main aim of the workshop is to share experiences of people involved in e-government solutions development and deployment. The workshop provides an opportunity of mutual inspiration on problem solving provided by people coming from different developing countries.
