Mobile government (M-government) is a new delivery channel for governments to provide timely information and services ubiquitously to residents, businesses and other government departments through mobile devices. Developing countries have a higher mobile penetration rate than the fixed line internet rates which opens doors of opportunities for these countries to bridge the digital gab and gain a better reach through M-government. This paper measures the Jordanian citizens’ awareness of launching a mobile government (M-government) portal in Jordan and investigates their attitude towards it. Furthermore, this study captured the government perspective in regards to launching the mobile government portal and citizens’ awareness of that. The results showed that Jordanians have a positive attitude towards mobile government; additionally the results also identified the main barriers of using mobile internet and electronic government (E-government) services in Jordan and proposed a success factors model for mobile government in Jordan.

The mobile Internet is a fast-growing technology that provides access to the traditional stationary (fixed-line) Internet from devices connected to mobile communication networks. It is predicted that the convergence between mobile networks and the fixed-line Internet will be a core feature in the next generation network architecture, achieving fast ‘anywhere’ Internet access and global mobility management. Applying a case study approach, this paper reviews the New Zealand mobile Internet market mix, competition, and mobile service provision. The key mobile Internet deployment requirements are determined and analyzed in order to identify a set of mobile Internet critical success factors and to investigate the impact of the shift from fixed-line to mobile and wireless Internet data communication infrastructure.

Johnston, Aviaq. What's My Superpower? Illustrated by Tim Mack, Inhabit Media. 2017. Following her debut novel, Those Who Run in the Sky, Johnston and illustrator Tim Mack have put together the delightful story of a young Inuit girl named Nalvana who sees superpowers in all her friends, but isn't sure if she has one of her own. The book has a bright and colourful style highlighting a young girl's world in the Canadian Territories. Following Nelvana through her story, the reader is introduced to her mother, her unnamed (but adorable) dog, her friends and her community. Her infectious smile and positive attitude come through on every page and as she discovers each of her friends’ superpowers, she, and the reader, begin to wonder about her own.  The book mixes Inuktitut terms throughout, and includes a glossary at the end. An excellent introduction to a young girl's world in Northern Canada and with a positive message and vibrant illustrations, the book would work well for young schoolchildren as well as those who might be interested in a view of Canada's different communities and questions about their own superpowers. A great read! Highly recommended: 4 out of 4 stars Reviewer: Kirk MacLeod Kirk is the Open Data Team Lead for the Government of Alberta’s Open Government Portal. A Life-Long reader, he moderates two book clubs and is constantly on the lookout for new great books!

Electronic government has proven a watershed in the domain of public administration despite being difficult to pin down precisely. Indeed, the government-to-government (G2G) arena is one of the least studied aspects of this newly established field of knowledge. This chapter aims to present a heuristic frame to implement government-to-government endeavors effectively. The frame presented in this article was largely drawn from an actual government-to-government case study successfully implemented in Brazil. From the analysis of this explanatory case study involving the Brazilian Central Bank (BCB) and the Brazilian Justice Department (BJD), some key success factors were singled out as well as the major hurdles to be overcome and causes thereof. These findings led the researcher to propose a heuristic frame not only to explain the conclusions drawn from the case study presented, but also to help researchers, practitioners, and policy makers to deploy government-to-government projects adequately.

<p>The government of Mongolia wants to improve and expand e-Government initiatives. The Government believes that the introduction of e-Government can significantly: improve transparency and efficiency in administration; increase participation of citizens in the government decision-making process; improve national competitiveness; upgrade capacity of the national ICT infrastructure; enhance the quality of civil services (Sambuu, Tudevdagva, & Erdene, 2008). The use of information communication technology in the public sector requires a clear vision, to deliver open and transparent government, along with improved integrated information and service delivery. With democratic government only emerging in Mongolia in the past twenty years, there is little or no historical precedent for any type of e-Government projects, although foundations for the concept were laid in 2005, with the formation of the Information and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA), with its focus on ICT policy and project implementation. Measuring the performance of e-government initiatives in the country would be important for helping the government and public to understand what progress is being made with the development of those initiatives, and in explaining any obstacles to progress. This study focused on illustrating success factors of the e-government initiative in the country in the case of PMIS (Public Management Information System) in Mongolia. A government portal is one of the key priority e-government initiatives in every country to achieve its e-government goals, whereas the government of Mongolia started its own e-government portal in 1997. The IS Success Model (Delone & McLean, 1992) and the 3D Model of IS Success (Ballantine et al, 1996) were used to investigate the possible factors for the success of the PMIS portal initiative. Distance semi-structured interviews of five participants from public agencies were conducted. The result suggests a positive perception of ten success factors, which may help to increase the benefit and consequence of e-government uptake.</p>

Electronic government (E-government) portals are considered one of the most popular conduits for offering government services online. Successful e-government portal development projects have been lauded in several academic and practitioner papers. These projects have concentrated on integrating government agencies by working to break the traditional silo-based view of the government and providing seamless integrated online services to citizens. However, the rate of adoption for e-government portals by citizens has been much lower than expected. A major reason identified in the literature for this is a lack of understanding of managerial considerations that affect portal development and subsequent adoption. In this chapter, we present a framework of managerial considerations for the development of e-government portals. The framework builds upon available literature in the field of e-government and public administration. It consists of eight key front-office and back-office considerations that contribute to successful development of an e-government portal. It provides an excellent platform for future research on e-government portals. The framework can also be extended to managers as a useful tool for ascertaining the effectiveness of their government portal development.
