Strategies for Local E-Government Adoption and Implementation: Comparative Studies (Advances in E-Government Research Book Series)

A book edited by Dr. Christopher G. Reddick, The University of Texas at San Antonio, USA 

Introduction
This book will provide international research on local e-government adoption, implementation, and impact. Most of the e-government research has examined the adoption of e-government at the local level with respect to the stages of adoption, but fewer studies have examined its impact on public sector organizations. Through this book leading scholars and practitioners in the field will attempt to bridge this gap. There is a growing body of research on e-government because of its potential to transform organizational governance. However, much of the research in the field has not focused on local governments. 

Overall Objectives of the Book
The overall objectives of Strategies for Local E-Government Adoption and Implementation are:

1. To provide a comprehensive introduction to the adoption and impact of e-government in local governments.

2. To provide cutting edge research on the adoption and impact of e-government by leading scholars and practitioners in the field. 

3. To demonstrate the above two objectives through both theory and international case studies on local e-government.



The Target Audience
The target audience for this book is academic libraries throughout the world that are interested in cutting edge research on local e-government. Another important market is Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Master of Public Affairs (MPA) programs which have information systems components as part of their curriculum. 

Recommended chapter topics include, but are not limited to, the following: 

Theories of local e-government adoption 

Survey research on local adoption of e-government 

E-government and local service delivery 

E-government project management at the local level 

E-government and its influence on managerial effectiveness
