Abstract

Despite its importance in government operations, G2G information sharing remains a great challenge worldwide. While the current literature examines the challenge primarily in western countries, we conducted two case studies in China to understand how four aspects--external pressure, inter-agency relationship, organizational readiness and perceived performance--influence the extent to which government agencies engage in information sharing activities. A contrast of our findings with the existing literature identifies several unique challenges in the Chinese context such as inconsistency of legal/policy, project championship, inter-agency networks and compatibility and process security. We also recommend the practical implications of our findings.
