Although various scholars have researched issues regarding disaster management, few studied the sharing and coordinating of information during disasters. Not much empirical data is available in this field there sparse insight into factors that may impede or facilitate coordination among stakeholders. In paper, we provide an overview relevant obstacles challenges by examining existing literature then investigating a series multi-agency management exercises, using observations survey. all...

The scale of society's evolving challenges gradually surpasses the capacity public sector to address them. Coping with these requires budget-short governments look for innovative ways transform and improve their operations service provisioning models. While in many cases transformation starts from inside-out (based on policy goals) focuses reorganization through ICTs, we notice a different class initiatives which external ICT developments are capitalized by outside-in. One category...

As GovTech solutions are steadily entering the public sector, they have yet to find their way into mainstream literature. refers socio-technical – that developed and operated by private organisations intertwined with sector components for facilitating processes in sector. promise a superior customer journey citizens businesses compared current government portals front desks. can be blessing disguise governments struggling digital transformation journey, carrying burden of service innovation...

Government agencies are becoming more data-driven and need high-quality data to fulfill their roles in society. In the past, each agency organized its own exchange system according needs. Today, is distributed over many organizations, government adopt an ecosystem approach for exchange. Fundamental dependence on other parties execution of stewardship strategies. Data-driven increasingly depend organizations across critical. While there ample research within little known about ecosystems....

By utilizing the properties of quantum mechanics, computers have potential to factor a key pair large prime number and break some core cryptographic primitives that most information infrastructures depend on. This means today's widely used algorithms can soon become unsafe need be modified with quantum-safe (QS) cryptography. While much work is still needed in developing QS algorithms, institutional, organizational, policy aspects transitioning current received less attention. paper provides...

GovTech, an acronym of Government Technologies, is a novel concept that gaining attention in the public and private sector. It entails improving design delivery human centric services data-driven processes with use emerging (digital) technologies. Furthermore, GovTech concerned development digital technologies are used these or services, but often developed by organizations outside As result, ecosystems emerge, which as well civic partners, including citizens, collaborate. can be defined...

Governments are increasingly opening their datasets, allowing use. Drawing on a multi-method approach, this paper develops framework for identifying factors influencing the adoption of Open Government Data (OGD) by private organisations. Subsequently was used to analyse five cases. The findings reveal that organizations use OGD, content and source data needs be clear, usable open license must present continuity updates ensured. For none investigated organisations OGD key existence....

Companies are required by law to report all kinds of information various public agencies. Since most agencies autonomous and define their demands independent each other, companies have in different ways. Accordingly, governments initiating programs that aim transform business-to government exchange reduce the administrative burden for improve accountability at same time. Yet little research is available on type transformations needed role infrastructure. Drawing a case study, this paper...

Abstract One of the main challenges in cross-border disaster management is development and use information systems that cater needs heterogeneous relief agencies, policies, activities cultures. Drawing upon activity theory, this paper examines for management. We infuse concept boundary objects into theory by characterization artifacts. This allows articulating how socio-technical are meshed with process collaboration development. Our longitudinal ethnographic field study on a flood project,...

Abstract In the management of national electronic identity (eID) infrastructure, cooperation between public and private parties becomes more important, as mutual dependencies provision e-services key infrastructure (PKI) continuously increases. Yet, it is not clear which factors affect public-private collaboration in eID field, existing studies do provide insight into this particular matter. Therefore, we aim to identify that partnership (PPP) field eID. We also describe feasible formats...

One of the key challenges in public safety networks is to ensure a high level information quality (IQ) during disaster response. Since many evaluation reports on response efforts have revealed instances poor IQ, both academics and practitioners are search architectures that assure IQ. This article focuses hurdles opportunities for IQ assurance via architectures. Drawing two opposing coordination approaches, hierarchical versus netcentric, we suggest adopting hybrid, orchestration-based...

Successful disaster management requires efficient information sharing and coordination of multi-agency emergency response operations. This paper compares two types exercises where multiple relief agencies are required to collaborate, using a set communication technologies, in large-scale scenarios. The analysis shows that many decision-makers managers suffer from lack availability awareness the flows heavily regulated by institutional structure organizations involved response, which may not...

Stricter laws and regulations demand that companies provide business information more timely accurately to various government agencies. However, this trend increases the administrative burden for regulatory Standard Business Reporting (SBR) is a program aims reduce these burdens. Led by agencies, stakeholders in are working towards national data taxonomy, single reporting gateway secure electronic infrastructure. Anticipated benefits include reduced time costs assembling, analyzing providing...

As the development of quantum computers advances, actors relying on public key infrastructures (PKI) for secure information exchange are becoming aware disruptive implications. Currently, governments and businesses employ PKI many core processes that may become insecure or unavailable when break cryptographic algorithms foundational to PKI. While standardization institutes currently testing safe algorithms, there no globally agreed-upon solutions available. Actors looking prepare...

Across the European continent, governments and GovTech companies are rushing to launch digital identity wallets for citizens. These should allow citizens obtain a higher level of control over their personal data. While there some regulations policy directions, actors struggling with design, launch, governance these wallets. Those looking help will find little guidance in academic literature. The objective this paper is provide insights barriers launching by public-private ecosystem. Drawing...
