Governance and Information Technology: From Electronic Government to Information Government
by Viktor Mayer-Schönberger (Editor), David Lazer (Editor)
352 pages, The MIT Press >>>
Review
"So you thought information technology in the form of 'e-government' would save taxpayer dollars, improve government performance, increase transparency and accountability, and promote democratic participation--and all in a hurry too? Some first-rate scholars of the subject show how the several truths about these matters are much more complicated, and the reasons for them sometimes paradoxical."--Eugene Bardach, Department of Public Policy, University of California, Berkeley Book
Description
Developments in information and communication technology and networked computing over the past two decades have given rise to the notion of electronic government, most commonly used to refer to the delivery of public services over the Internet. This volume argues for a shift from the narrow focus of "electronic government" on technology and transactions to the broader perspective of information government--the information flows within the public sector, between the public sector and citizens, and among citizens--as a way to understand the changing nature of governing and governance in an information society. The chapters discuss the interplay between recent technological developments and evolving information flows, and the implications of different information flows for efficiency, political mobilization, and democratic accountability. The chapters are accompanied by short case studies from around the world, which cover such topics as electronic government efforts in Singapore and Switzerland, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's effort to solicit input on planned regulations over the Internet, and online activism "cyberprotesting" globalization.
Contributors: Robert D. Behn, Maria Christina Binz-Scharf, Herbert Burkert, Lorenzo Cantoni, Cary Coglianese, Martin J. Eppler, Jane E. Fountain, Monique Girard, Åke Grönlund, Matthew Hindman, Edwin Lau, David Lazer, Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, Ines Mergel, Gopal Raman, David Stark, Sandor Vegh, and Darrell M. West.

La Lego e l’USI costruiscono “ponti” online
Il New MinE Lab della Facoltà di comunicazione e trivioquadrivio, società di consulenza strategica e di formazione manageriale di Milano, hanno avviato un progetto di ricerca congiunto per sviluppare un nuovo modulo Lego Serious Play™, l’innovativa metodologia di sviluppo organizzativo fondata sull’impiego dei celebri mattoncini Lego®.
Obiettivo della ricerca è la progettazione di un modulo dedicato a facilitare la comunicazione fra committenti e sviluppatori di applicazioni online, come per esempio siti web, applicazioni di eLearning, eCommerce, gestione digitale dei documenti e così via.
Il nuovo strumento sviluppato da New MinE Lab e trivioquadrivio – denominato provvisariomente REAL TIME WEB – affiancherà quelli esistenti: Real Time Identity e Real Time Strategy, sviluppati originariamente all’IMD Business School di Losanna.
I workshop Lego Serious Play™, in cui vengono utilizzati i moduli, sono realizzati in esclusiva da una rete di 46 partner attivi in 21 paesi del mondo. Trivioquadrivio fa parte di questo network dal 2003, e nel 2005 è stata nominata best partner world wide. Da quest’anno fa parte del gioco anche il New MinE Lab dell’Università della Svizzera italiana.
