Abstract

This paper attempts to take a bottom-up approach to develop a field-based E-government Readiness Assessment method that could be usable and applicable for a specific local government with its own unique particular e-government priorities and goals. As a result of the method, a set of specific readiness assessment indicators, rather than predefined all-size-fits-all criteria, will be derived. The method takes both qualitative and quantitative approaches, and collects both primary and secondary data. An assessment case was also carried out in China to test the assessment method.
