Although there are some literature describing the barriers to OGD use, the relationships between these barriers and the mechanisms behind the limited use of OGD by private sectors have not been thoroughly explored. This study aimed to uncover their relationships to formulate a holistic theory and gain a deeper understanding of this issue. Through interviews with 18 senior managers, engineers, and other professionals from various private sectors, and applying the classic grounded theory method, a theoretical model was constructed to explain the private sectors' use of OGD, comprising four main categories, i.e., cognition, business value assessment, value pursuit, and organizational context, with value pursuit playing a pivotal role. This study contributes to the current literature by proposing a behavioral process mechanism to integrate various factors of OGD utilization by private sectors.

An emphasis on operational efficiency in the latter narrows the focus of innovation, prioritizing operational efficiency over broader societal benefits.

This study investigates benefits slippage in the implementation of electronic document management in a municipality in Denmark. On the basis of interviews, we identify three reasons why benefits slipped. First, inactionable benefits specifications make it difficult to see the link between the specified benefits and the work-process changes necessary to realize them, thereby leaving staff without directions about what changes to implement. Second, a prolonged realization process increases the opportunity for external events to disrupt the process, thereby shifting attention to other matters before the benefits have been realized. Third, absent benefits follow-up leaves the status of benefits realization uncertain or ignores indications that benefits have not been realized, thereby prolonging or discontinuing the realization process. In the studied municipality, the specified benefits had slipped for three years. Future research should investigate how benefits-realization initiatives can be resumed late, locally, and at low cost.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48258,"journal":{"name":"Government Information Quarterly","volume":"42 3","pages":"Article 102051"},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144220869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study identifies and discusses the motivations, forms, and influential factors of cross-boundary data collaboratives with empirical data support. Specifically, this study explores the influential factors from four perspectives: data, organization, legislation, and environment. It is noted that government agencies and participants from other sectors can possess mixed combinations of motivations. Additionally, government agencies are still learning and adapting to the concept of cross-boundary data collaboratives, which represent both opportunities and challenges. Therefore, government agencies and participants from other sectors tend to maintain a flexible collaborative structure to retain a high level of autonomy and flexibility in respective initiatives. It is expected that the discussion and practical implications of this exploratory research can provide insights to both academic researchers and practitioners.

While existing AI ethics and regulatory frameworks emphasize a range of normative criteria—such as accuracy, transparency, fairness, and accountability—many of these values are in tension and, in some cases, incommensurable. I propose a procedural justice framework that distinguishes between conflicts among derivative trustworthiness criteria and those involving fundamental democratic values. For the former, I apply analytical tools such as the Dominance Principle, Supervaluationism, and Maximality to eliminate clearly inferior alternatives. For the latter, I argue that justifiable decision-making requires procedurally fair deliberation grounded in widely endorsed principles such as publicity, inclusion, relevance, and appeal. I demonstrate the applicability of this framework through an indepth analysis of an AI-based decision support system used by the Swedish Public Employment Service (PES), showing how institutional decision-makers can navigate complex trade-offs between efficiency, explainability, and legality. The framework provides public institutions with a structured method for addressing normative conflicts in AI implementation, moving beyond technical optimization toward democratically legitimate governance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48258,"journal":{"name":"Government Information Quarterly","volume":"42 2","pages":"Article 102033"},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143936084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
