Electronic Government at Swedish Business School at Örebro University

eGovernment is the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in public administrations combined with organisational change and new skills in order to improve public services and democratic processes. For this, new expertise combining technical, organizational and sociological knowledge is required.

eGovernment Research
eGovernment research at Örebro University is concerned with the application, development and evaluation of IT systems relevant for society, especially the public sector. Our research, national as well as international, is carried out in collaboration with our partners in the government, enterprise and civil society sectors. We apply individual, organizational as well as societal perspectives on information systems and their development and role in society. We are studying, among other things, the use and development of Enterprise Architecture (EA) in municipal activities, information security in public activities, development and adaptation of the methods of systems development and evaluation, eLearning in developing countries, decision support systems, adjustment of municipal decision-making, eParticipation, and requirements engineering.
