The paper addresses the specific problems that exist in the current ways of managing CSR activities by comparing the current model to the proposed blockchain-based framework. The paper further goes on to show how this proposed method could bridge this gap in terms of accountability and transparency using blockchain-enabled technology, while at the same time increasing citizen involvement, i.e., pervasive participation, in the process.","PeriodicalId":38155,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electronic Governance","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45185597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, relatively little research has been conducted on collaboration in e-governance context. Experiences from limited success of e-governance initiatives in India as well as in various other developing countries reflect upon lack of strategic collaboration within and across government organisations. The finding of the study indicates that e-governance users want their concerns to be addressed, while e-governance project implementers struggle with the inter- and intra-organisational collaborations. The National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), 2006 and its subsequent version, i.e., NeGP 2.0 termed as 'e-kranti' component of the Digital India programme of Government of India, has specifically emphasized upon collaboration to effectively unleash e-governance potential. This paper explores the role of collaboration competency in the context of a public organisation through a study of an e-governance project and it also throws light on possible linkage of collaboration competency with e-governance performance.","PeriodicalId":38155,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electronic Governance","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45732008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Citizens face costs in the correction of an error and in the material and immaterial consequences of an error, such as loss of access to benefits or services. This problem is especially relevant given the characteristics of information technology in the public sector, which is increasingly used to share data among multiple organisations through master data management systems. We conceptualise administrative errors and their burdens through the analysis of an exemplary case of a Dutch woman's Kafkaesque problems because of a registration error by the police regarding her stolen car.","PeriodicalId":38155,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electronic Governance","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44552974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, few research studies deal with the concrete results obtained by using these platforms. This paper aims to verify if the adoption of these platforms generates value innovations, with some disruption in the current form of interaction between governments and citizens, leading them to navigate in the Blue Ocean of participation, collaboration, and reduction of costs. We conclude that the main values - legitimacy of public policies, notion of transparency of public management, and support for decision making - are generated profits for governmental institutions that use the platforms. We suggest that the platforms should offer greater prominence to the generation of value for citizens and better absorption of the knowledge generated on the platforms.","PeriodicalId":38155,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electronic Governance","volume":"341 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66760060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
