Abstract

Cross-boundary Information sharing has long been considered an important approach for increasing organizational efficiency and performance. However, achieving cross-boundary information sharing is a complex task not only in the private sector but also in the public sector. This research explores the complexity of cross-boundary information sharing by employing a case study in Taiwan e-Government. Data are collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed by using grounded theory techniques. While a variety of influential factors can come from different perspectives such as technology, organization, legislation, policy, and surrounding environment, this paper takes a deeper look to focus on the influential organizational factors. The findings of this exploratory research is also able to contribute to the current information-sharing literature from an international perspective.
