The long-term success of e-government initiatives is of paramount importance, especially for developing countries, which face challenges such as limited budget, donor dependence, transfer of technology, short-term involvement of non-local agents, and relatively unstable political and economic environment. Although e-government success and sustainability are both relevant concepts to assess IT-enabled administrative processes in practice, e-government research has not yet elaborated the two concepts in an integrated fashion. Depending on review of the extant literature, this chapter (1) clarifies the concepts of e-government success and sustainability, (2) provides a conceptualization, which unfolds for both concepts the most used sub-concepts and constructs in terms of enablers and evaluation criteria, and (3) proposes an integrated research agenda for studying the interrelation of both concepts in detail.

Developing countries can make considerable progress in providing diabetes health care if they adopt ideas and technologies already being applied in diabetes health care in other parts of the world, but they must adapt them to their own particular circumstances. Too often efforts in this direction fail because it is not possible to transfer programs from developed nations intact and expect them to function in the circumstances of less developed nations. Success on a national level requires the application of a systematic health care model tailored to the needs of the developing country. As discussed in this paper, the model's elements include organization of the available national health care delivery system; education of health care personnel, patients, their families, and communities; diabetes-related epidemiological research; education program planning; and continuous program evaluation and adjustment.

Sustainable Advantage

Purpose The expectations surrounding innovation as the principal mean by which firms gain a sustainable advantage while simultaneously alleviating social problems are tremendous. However, in the process of developing innovation, many small entrepreneurs, SMEs, as well as large firms struggle to access the necessary finances in order to further develop their innovative projects. The purpose of this paper is to underline some of the most recent tools and practices used to finance novelty. Design/methodology/approach This paper synthetizes some thoughts about the financing of novelty and proposes a research agenda based on trends highlighted in the recent literature. Findings This paper pinpoints recent advances in finance applied to the field of innovation. In particular, this paper highlights both promising developments as well as the need for more research in this area in order to untangle the links between creativity and financial support, the financing of innovation in developing countries, accounting and evaluation of ideas. Social implications The importance of developing innovation and easing access to resources has societal implications. The development of education around finance and entrepreneurship, as well as improving literacy of citizens in these fields could yield a more open view on innovation and financial supports in the future. Originality/value Financing novelty, evaluating projects and facing uncertainty are among the most difficult decisions investors take. This paper combines many dimensions of innovation and finance to construct an overview of current and future practices within both domains.
