Abstract

This chapter focuses on building a framework for classifying e-Government projects according to concepts such as activities, stakeholder relationships and types and information system typologies. We examine public administration models and their need for adequate information system support, discussing the reasons why the ICTs still only provide limited support to government activities. We identify four public administration typologies and the information system models that best fit them in terms of information exchange needs and use. To identify different ICT strategies in public administration, we propose a classification of social systems according to integration level parameters.
