Administrative Procedures

The information technology revolution has forced many governments to create new mechanisms for delivering services in order to reduce costs, increase the ease of administration, and overcome some of the economic and social problems. E-Government uses the methods of new technology to simplify administrative procedures and assist decision-makers in their operations. Using the survey method and interviews, this chapter investigates e-Government activities in Syria in order to explore the main barriers of e-Government. It focuses on how to utilize the necessary frameworks in policy, economics, administrative procedures, society, and technology, with the aim of showing the benefits of Enterprise Integration in e-Government. The chapter extensively reviews the literature on barriers to e-Government and Enterprise Integration technologies. Based on the investigation of barriers to current e-Government activities in Syria, the chapter proposes an e-Government Interoperability Framework that is designed to address effective implementation of e-Government in developing countries.

AUSSAT is a further link in a worldwide revolution which is occurring in information technology. This new technology includes communication satellites, fibre optics, and the silicon chip, and their use in combination to reduce the ‘tyrannies of distance’, the rigidities of time scheduling, and the tedium of manual processing of information and materials.

Substantial Change

 Geographic information systems have been introduced local and regional planning several stages. They have influenced the technique of planning but only to a lesser extent the procedures of planning and the methodology of plan-making. More recently, information technology has challenged the whole concept of planning as an expert-and-government interplay. However, legal frameworks have not reflected the substantial change in the potentials of the technology.Any effort to reflect the new technology will face not only institutional inertia but increasingly also the human capacity of users of planning (i.e., decision-makers, administrators, stakeholders), namely the limited extent of overall IT literacy, which restricts the possible benefits of the technology. The dimension of access to and empowerment in planning may reappear in the context of new technologies, with new professional requirements for planners, beyond the computer, GIS and information technology.

Graphic Database

The major constraints to the use of new information tech nology in the developing countries are identified and discus ssed, and related to the setting up of a computerised biblio graphic database system. Examples of existing systems are given to provide guidelines as to how new technology can successfully be used in the developing countries despite these constraints. It is concluded that staff training, international cooperation and socio-political aspects (attitudes) are the prior ity areas for attention by the developing countries. New tech nology can be successfully introduced only if there is the political will and all involved are fully committed to the idea.

Increasing Demand

In today‟s the changes that are taking place in the world, the information technology revolution is making the biggest impact of the world. In this 21st Century era of information technology, educational libraries provide a new technology-based role to meet user demand through information technology services. Information technology is thanks to the services that are provided to all types of users for new methods in new environments through new services. With the use of information technology, the information technology revolution is making the biggest impact in all sectors of the world, today including education, social, economic, political, tourism and health etc. The use of information technology in academic libraries is very useful to meet the increasing demand of users. With the advancement of information technology, researchers, academics, librarians and policy makers have begun to increase the use of information technology in the education system. Today, the world is rapidly moving towards a global village to make educational library fields technology-free. Which are today goes beyond the leverage of information technology.

Technology Revolution

Why did the stock market decline so much in the early 1970's and remain low until the early 1980's? We argue that it was because information technology arrived on the scene and the stock-market incumbents of the day were not ready to implement it. Instead, new firms would bring in the new technology after the mid-1980's. Investors foresaw this in the early 1970's and stock prices fell right away. In our model, new capital destroys old capital, but with a lag. The prospect of this causes the value of the old capital to fall right away. (JEL G12, O16, O33)

Country Specific

The paper argues that the implementation of health sector reforms modelled on private sector based modularity approaches is mediated by country specific contextual factors. One of such factors is bureaucratic politics. To this end, paper advances that bureaucratic politics have a role to play in the effective implementation of reforms advocated within the international transfer of private sector-based health sector management models. Although, politicians are ultimately the decision makers in terms of which reforms are politically viable, bureaucrats have an input in the process and their behaviours can affect reform implementation. This is true even in the context of coercive transfer to developing countries. Using the case of Malawi’s hospital autonomy reforms, the paper demonstrates that although the failure of hospital autonomy in Malawi has been attributed to political undesirability, bureaucratic politics has also played a pivotal role which cannot be ignored.

Industry And Education

Information Technology as a new Technology has been used in businesses from small company until multinational company in almost all industries. IT role as an enabler and differentiation factor separating success company from average company. IT need people to build, operate, maintain and support the systems, hence expect the new hire to immediately contribute from the first day they join the company. The industry define the needs for Information Technology competence and expect Education Institution as one of IT resource work hard to design their program study to fulfill the needs for Information Technology graduates, yet the industry still struggle to succeed in hiring fresh graduate to fill the IT position. Information Technology Training Institution can be an alternative to improve the education result. Also certification on Information Technology competence from third party or independent body might be used as a standard for both Industry and Education. This paper will report literature review several previous paper about all of the above.
