Abstract

From the Publisher:The public sector uses electronic data interchange (EDI) in areas such as the health sector, procurement, meat inspection, taxation, transportation, and the courts. Also, government encourages the private sector to enhance their use of electronic communication to secure faster and more reliable exchange of data, to save manpower, and to enable organizational transformation to the information society. In EDI and Data Networking in the Public Sector authors from eight countries report on the modes of governmental intervention to stimulate the usage of EDI and the challenges facing government as they try to smoothen their own units via organizational management. With cases (a total of 14 chapters) from Singapore, Denmark, USA, Sweden, England, Australia, and the Netherlands, this book finds that government in some countries are ahead of the private sector in utilization of EDI and that government at supranational, central and local levels are active players in the field. Local levels of government and the quasi-governmental organizations provides an important supplement to the efforts by central government to increase the overall usage of EDI. EDI and Data Networking in the Public Sector will be of interest to all researchers and practitioners in MIS. Computer Science and International Trade working on the adoption of new technology.
