Today, the right choice of public policy mechanisms based on identifying pressing needs of users for realizing the economic, social and cultural benefits of introducing information and communication technology (ICT) tools when interacting with government bodies seems very relevant. However, regional differentiation of the level of development of information society requires the development of differentiated mechanisms for implementing electronic government projects. On the basis of the empirical analysis of regional features of objective reasons for the refusal by the rural population to use information and communication technology to get state and municipal services, a typology of the Russian regions for the share of the population that refused to use public services in electronic form for objective reasons is built. Based on the assessment of regression models, including indicators of the level of economic development of the regions, as well as the level of the ICT infrastructure development, factors that have the greatest influence on the objective reasons for the refusal of the rural population to use ICT tools to get state and municipal services for Russia as a whole and for different types of regions are identified. The paper establishes that the effectiveness of government measures to introduce e-government services and reduce the degree of differentiation of Russian regions on the use of this type of service depends on increasing investment in information and communication technologies, on reducing the cost of connecting and maintaining the ICT infrastructure for the rural population, as well as on the wide information work among the population about the benefits of using e-government services. It is also established that in terms of a sufficiently developed ICT infrastructure, the role of human capital is increasing in the number of factors influencing the objective reasons for non-use of the Internet to get state and municipal services.

With the enormous benefits that e-government gives to government and societies, it still faces obstacles and challenges. Therefore, there are always a number of critical success and risk factors associated with e- Government implementation. In this modern life, data is a huge item that should be ace so as to enhance the competitive power of an association. Various uses of Information and Communication (ICT) in some domestic governments made it become apparent. Nonetheless, indeed, ICT didn’t have a worthy impact on the productivity of government sector. A lot of governments all throughout the globe are presenting e-government as inclusion to their process on the most proficient method to spare time and costs, enhance assistance and raise productivity and adequacy of public sector. Along these lines, the distinguishing proof of e-government has been the highest need for all administration offices. Nonetheless, the appropriation of e-government is confronting a great deal of boundaries and difficulties, for example, technological, institutional, national and societal problems that should be repair and think cautiously by any pondering government's appropriation.

With the increasing role of information and communication technology (ICT) in the society, ICT’s role is gaining importance in the aspect of provision and use of the public sector services for the citizens. Especially in the European Union different activities have been conducted through the years to promote ICT use in the society. It has been mainly based on the Digital Agenda for Europe (DAE), which underlines the key role of ICT in the efforts to achieve its strategic objectives. Slovenia as an EU member state follows these directions but positions itself among less successful states in the EU. The well-known European Digital Economy and Society Index ranks Slovenia to the lower half of member states indicating possibilities for improvement. Although much can be said and done about the service-providers side this paper focuses on the users’ side and especially on their digital inequality. The lack of studies in the area of digital inequality and online government services adoption and use is the main motivation for this research. The research uses the data provided by Slovenian annual survey Use of Information and Communication Technology in Households and by Individuals of the last four years. The analysis of this data, presented in the paper, exhibits that changes for the better are detected in Slovenian society, but the situation in public-sector services is not optima. The results demonstrate the existence of digital inequality considering the income level of households and education level of individual users. The synthesis of the data demonstrates that the Slovenian government and its ministries should consider adding tangible actions to the already set strategies if the country wants to catch up with the leading countries of the EU and achieve goals, set by the DAE.

Purpose This study aims to determine whether it is possible to use information and communication technology (ICT) tools to share tacit knowledge. Few studies have considered this subject, and they have reported both the ineffectiveness and effectiveness of ICT tools for sharing tacit knowledge. Design/methodology/approach In this study, the participants comprised 217 knowledge workers from New Zealand and researchers who attended a knowledge management conference in the UK. In all, 59% of the sample was men and 41% women. The research model compared the scores of knowledge workers in two categories of ICT, those that allow dialogue and those that do not, in relation to knowledge sharing in organizations. The instrument used a Likert scale with five levels of response. Findings It was found that not all ICT technologies let tacit knowledge to be shared, but those ICT that facilitate dialogue, for example, text messaging and video conferences. Emails did not facilitate the exchange of tacit knowledge. Research limitations/implications It is suggested to replicate the study with different countries to evaluate the role of culture in the communication of tacit knowledge. Practical implications An implication for practitioners based on this study is that email should not be the preferred mode for transferring knowledge between an organization and their workers. This mode is adequate for the exchange of explicit knowledge, but it has a limited capacity for transferring tacit knowledge. Thus, organizations may increase the use of audio and video tools to transfer electronically tacit knowledge. Interaction or socialization may facilitate the understanding and internalization of tacit knowledge by workers. Originality/value This study contributed to understand the reason for contradictory results from previous research. ICT tools are effective to share tacit knowledge when they facilitate dialogue. Results also support practitioners about how to obtain more effective exchange of tacit knowledge in organizations.
