Combating Corruption through e-Governance in India

Author(s):  
Durga Shanker Mishra

Studies have shown a prevalence of high level of corruption in the Indian Administrative System, which adversely affects the day-to-day lives of common citizens. This chapter examines the role of e-governance in combating corruption in delivering public services. Through a literature review assessing the outcomes of a few e-governance initiatives related to improving service delivery in different parts of India, this chapter argues that even though technology assists in instituting a transparent, accountable, consistent, reliable, and efficient system for delivery services, it cannot overcome corruption by itself. It will require political will, focused administrative strategy, business process reengineering for simplifying and opening up the system, and persistent efforts to ensure that corruption entrepreneurs do not subvert the gains of the technology.

This chapter discusses the importance of business process simulation, while illustrating the relationship between business process reengineering (BPR) and change management, it focuses the discussion on the role of simulation in supporting BPR and the effect of simulation on business environment related skills, business management related skills, leadership related skills, employees empowering level, process improvement, ethical issues, and stakeholders’ management skills. The chapter discusses the value of simulation in implementing reengineering strategies and argues the future challenges of business process simulation and describes the limitations of simulation technology in reengineering business processes. Finally, it concludes with a discussion of the characteristics of successful simulation and simulation applications.

This chapter reveals the role of business process reengineering (BPR) in the modern business world, thus illustrating the theoretical and practical concept of BPR, the applications of BPR, the drivers of BRR (in terms of internal drivers and external drivers), the critical success factors of BPR (i.e., egalitarian leadership, collaborative working environment, top management commitment, supportive management, information technology, change management, project management, and cross-functional coordination), the implementation of BPR, and BPR software tools. BPR is a systematic approach to helping an organization analyze and improve its processes in digital age. BPR is a continuum of change initiatives in order to deliver better business performance standards through establishing sustainable process capability in modern organizations. BPR has become a popular tool to dealing with rapid technological and business change in the global competitive environment.

<p>As global spending on healthcare increases and service improvement is not adequately reflecting on resource consumption, many healthcare organizations therefore resolve to improving their services by implementing Business process reengineering (BPR). BPR is a business strategy adopted by so many healthcare organizations in order to efficiently and successfully manage their business using currently available technology. BPR has been a hot topic in Information Systems discipline and extensive research has been carried out in different settings with numerous methodologies and approaches. As a result of ever changing nature of BPR this paper intend to provide additional knowledge exploring the current level of development of BPR in healthcare. To achieve this, a total of 27 articles from Science Direct database, 15 from IEEE explore, 16 from Taylor &amp; Francis, 25 from SpringerLink and 8 from SAGE Hub database covering the period from 2005 to early 2014 were analyzed based on their setting and methodology. And finally the article concludes with suggestions for future research related to BPR in healthcare.</p>
