The spread of COVID-19 in the past year has posed a serious challenge to state economies. The pandemic had an impact on the management and economy of developing countries and transition countries, which required the reorganization of management methods and increased use of information and communication technologies in everyday life. This complex and unexpected environment has altered the way the public administration works, which reflects on the business as well. Bulgaria was not isolated from the effect and took measures, including legislative measures to deal with the situation. In parallel with these processes, a serious reform in the “Public Procurement” sector was carried out in Bulgaria related to the digitalization of the awarding process. Digitalization has led to streamlining the process of conducting public procurement procedures and has enabled its effectiveness to be improved.

For many years, Ukraine is not entirely able to reverse the dangerous tendencies of growing distrust of the public to the activities of state authorities. In particular, the promises of public authorities regarding the improvement and development of information and communication technologies that are used both in the activities of state authorities, in narrow circles of specialists, and in everyday life of ordinary people are not fully fulfilled. The state-civil communicative network is one of the main directions of stimulating economic growth, employment, expansion of competition and, as a result, contributing to overcoming "digital isolation", both social and geographic. Without the state-civilian communicative network it is virtually impossible to execute management decisions, to make feedback and to correct the goals and stages of the activity of state authorities.

The speed of transformation and development in information and communication technologies is an important fact triggering the restructuring process of public administration. The developing countries have become integrated into this process through public administration reform methods presented by international institutions. Transfer of information and communication technologies have become important for modernizing public administration organizations of developing countries and adapting them to the global system. In multilevel governance, use and implementation of the information technologies enabling network structuring between institutions have a particular importance. In this sense, the purpose of this study is to present the process followed by Turkey for adapting information and communication technologies to public administration organization and provision of public services in the frame of a multilevel governance approach.

Over the past two decades, governments have used information and communication technologies (ICTs) to integrate their internal functions and improve their delivery of services. Scholars and practitioners have conceptualized these various ICT trends and referred to them collectively as e-government. As the number of citizens using the Internet and mobile technologies increases, the public sector is constantly innovating to keep pace with the changing technologies and citizens’ expectations. This essay reviews the academic literature on e-government among local governments and explores the issues related to its adoption and implementation. Adopting an e-government stages perspective with attention to institutional capacity, the essay examines the factors and determinants of local e-government success. The essay concludes with directions for future research on e-government and innovation in local governments.

This article summarizes results related to graduates in Library and Information Science (LIS) provided in a report on higher-education employability published by the Spanish National Statistics Institute (INE) in 2019. The data show that LIS graduates have a slightly lower employment rate than other graduates. Nevertheless, they enjoy greater job stability, with a higher percentage of permanent contracts instead of placements or internships. More than one-quarter of LIS graduates work part-time, and the Public Administration continues to be the sector providing more employment opportunities for them. A certain level of overqualification is observed, with significant percentages of LIS graduates stating that they hold positions for which their degree is not necessary. Salaries are lower than those of other graduates, with data showing the same gender pay gap that affects female graduates across all disciplines. LIS graduates are satisfied with their training, and most would study the same degree again. They are little inclined to international mobility during their studies and consider themselves advanced users of information and communication technologies. Se sintetizan los resultados relativos a los graduados en Información y Documentación recogidos en la Encuesta de inserción laboral de titulados universitarios 2019 del Instituto Nacional de Estadística. Los datos indican que los graduados en Información y Documentación trabajan en una proporción ligeramente inferior al resto de titulados. Sin embargo, disfrutan de una mayor estabilidad laboral, con un porcentaje superior de contratos permanentes en detrimento de los contratos en prácticas y becas. Más de la cuarta parte de los graduados trabaja a tiempo parcial y la Administración Pública continúa siendo el ámbito que proporciona mayores oportunidades de ocupación. Se observa un cierto grado de sobrecualificación, con porcentajes significativos de graduados que afirman estar ocupando puestos de trabajo para los que no es necesaria la titulación. Las retribuciones son inferiores a las de otros graduados, al tiempo que se constata la misma brecha salarial de género que castiga a las tituladas de todas las disciplinas. Los graduados en Información y Documentación se declaran satisfechos con la titulación cursada y mayoritariamente repetirían los estudios, se muestran poco proclives a la movilidad internacional durante sus estudios y se consideran usuarios avanzados de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación.

Institutional Communication

Efficient communication is one the most important instruments used for the purpose of generating change inside and outside an organization. It can contribute to adjusting attitudes and the manner of approaching the present and future challenges and to changing behavioral patterns. The mission and the objectives of organizational communication are highly interrelated with organizational change and environment characteristics, in which the organization functions. The communication performed by the public administration institution outside is an institutional communication, extra-organizational, which presents the following purposes: strengthening its image, stimulating an environment of trust and affinity from the citizens (Kotler & Lee, 2007). We are of opinion that the management of communication performed by a public administration institution features three fundamental aspects, relevant for institutional communicators when designing and managing the institutional communication: communication efficiency, communication process and the implications of the new information and communication technologies (ICT) for this process.

The adoption of fully electronic public procurement (EPP) systems is a requirement laid out in a group of European Union directives. These standards seek to improve the rationalization of resources (i.e., on an economics level) in public administration through the replacement of paper-based procedures with electronic services (i.e., e-services), thereby contributing to the growth of electronic government (i.e., e-government) in all member states. This chapter evaluates the impacts of EPP based on information and communication technologies. Research was conducted in Portugal, in which data on five companies operating on an international scale were examined for any organizational difficulties in the adoption of e-procurement. The findings include the positive impacts of following the objectives of the European Union directives in question. User satisfaction regarding EPP-related electronic platforms was also investigated.

Today, under the influence of rapidly developing information and communication technologies, the public administration system is being transformed. The concept of e-government is being replaced by the trend of forming a new model of digital government. It is necessary to have a precise understanding of the essence of the digital government concept for its implementation.The article presents an analysis of the main characteristics and stages of the formation of e-government, as well as the basic principles of digital government. Comparing the two concepts, the author comes to the conclusion that the digital government model is an independent concept based on the achievements of e-government.

The development of electronic or digital government (egovernment) has varied throughout the world. Although we give it the same name, we know from different studies that, for example, the concept of Information Society can be interpreted in different ways in different cultural settings (Jaeger, Slack, & Williams, 2000; Sancho, 2002). This article provides a general outline of the development of e-government in the West and is primarily based on European and Scandinavian experiences. It is only possible to give an introduction to e-government if we can define what we are talking about. E-government is still a rather new concept, but most people agree that egovernment includes the following features: • E-government is based on information and communication technologies (ICTs). • E-government is taking place in public administration. • E-government concerns electronic ways to perform all kinds of internal administrative tasks. • E-government also concerns the communication between the public administration and the citizens and other actors in the surrounding society (Jaeger, 2003: 50).
