Product Description
"eGov" sets out e-business strategies and best practices that can be replicated throughout the public sector - central government, local government, education, public safety and health, criminal justice, military, and supranational and inter-governmental bodies. In each case study, organizations aim to put services and information online, and ensure easy and universal access to these services and information. They skill their employees to be knowledge workers, and they work in partnership - with business and other agencies. Above all, government removes barriers to the information society and leads by example.
