The “I” between G and C: E-Government intermediaries in developing countries
2011
Published version of an article from the journal: The Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries. Also available from the publisher: http://www.ejisdc.org/Ojs2/index.php/ejisdc/article/viewFile/826/371 While there has been a rapid growth in e-Government initiatives in developing countries, whether it has led to providing effective government services to the citizens has remained a question of concern. Evidence suggests that this objective is far from being met. The main hurdle has been that an overwhelming part of the citizens in these countries do not have the capability to either access government information physically or to use it effectively even when they can ac…
Proposing an Entrepreneurial Process for the Co-creation of IT Value
2014
Published version of a chapter from the book M. Janssen, H. Scholl, M. Wimmer & F. Bannister (Eds.), Electronic Government : Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2014. Also available on SpringerLink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-44426-9_26 Co-creation of IT value has received substantial focus from the IS research community over the past years. However, few if any have studied this phenomenon from a process perspective, and our understanding of the processes leading to successful co-creation is therefore limited. To address this shortcoming, we studied a complex, e-government case involving 38 government agencies intending to co-create value from a common IT platform. We used a mixed method a…
NATIONAL AGENCIES IN THE EUROPEAN ADMINISTRATIVE SPACE: GOVERNMENT DRIVEN, COMMISSION DRIVEN OR NETWORKED?
2009
Submitted version of an article published in the journal: Public Administration. Published version available at Wiley InterScience: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-9299.2009.01779.x In terms of national agencies in the European administrative space, case studies indicate that national governments may be partly split so that national (regulatory) agencies operate in a 'double-hatted' manner when practising EU legislation, serving both ministerial departments and the European Commission. Applying large-N questionnaire data, this article follows up these studies by investigating how important various institutions are with respect to influencing national agencies when they are practising EU le…
Effekter ved bruk av nettbrett i politiske møter : ønskede og oppnådde effekter ved bruk av nettbrett i politiske møter : en flercasestudie i norske …
2013
Masteroppgave i informasjonssystemer – Universitetet i Agder 2013 Siden kommunevalget i 2011 har mange lokalpolitikere fått utdelt nettbrett. Det finnes få studier på hvorfor politikerne har fått nettbrett og hva kommunene ønsket å oppnå med å innføre nettbrett i lokalforvaltningen. Vi har derfor i denne studien sett på hvilke effekter som var ønsket og hvilke effekter som har blitt oppnådd, og knyttet disse mot rammeverket Taxonomy of IT Values in Public Administration (Bannister, 2002). Problemstillingen vi har jobbet med lyder som følger: Hvordan påvirker bruk av nettbrett den politiske møteprosessen på kommunalt nivå? For å svare på problemstillingen har vi benyttet kvalitativ metode og…

Both eGovernment and interoperability projects are by many viewed as complex and challenging undertakings explored with high risks. The term eGovernment has been used to reflect the implementation of ICT in …
How can government organizations use Web 2.0?
2013
Masteroppgave i informasjonssystemer – Universitetet i Agder 2013 Over the past few years, most government organizations have been using e-Government and m-Government successfully with few difficulties along the way. These two forms of governments provide a solid foundation for government organizations to take the next step by becoming more participative, and engage citizens on various social media channels because most of their information and services are already digital. There are several existing research on the use of social media by organizations, most of which focus on businesses. Even though there are some similarities between the public and private sectors there are also several di…
Kartlegging av effekter i et interkommunalt helsesamarbeid: en multicase studie i fire småkommuner
2012
Masteroppgave i informasjonssystemer- Universitetet i Agder, 2012 For å imøtekomme de mange utfordringene knyttet til demografisk utvikling og endring i sykdomsbildet i Norge, ble Samhandlingsreformen utformet (St. Meld. 47, 2008). Denne reformen har ført til økt ansvar for pasienter hos hver enkelt kommune, noe som igjen har ført til økte kostnader for kommunene. Interkommunalt helsesamarbeid ved anskaffelse, implementering og drift av felles EPJ-system blir sett på som en mulig løsning for å kutte kostnader og iverksette effektive pleie- og omsorgstjenester. Målet med forskningen vår er å undersøke hvilke effekter innføringen av et interkommunalt EPJ-system har gitt fire småkommuner, samt…

Bidrag på konferanse: The Third International Conference on Digital Society ICDS 2009 1-7 February 2009 Cancun, Mexico The main trends concerning the traditional channels of participation are reduced voting turnout, reduced participation in political parties, stable participation in associations and increased citizen contact.

Published version of an article in the journal: Scandinavian Journal for Leadership & Theology. Also available from the publisher at: http://sjlt-journal.com/ Open Access In this article, we discuss whether leadership and organisational structure can influence and facilitate the use of spiritual gifts in congregations. The purpose is to substantiate a link and give some examples of what this relationship may be like. We argue that leaders contribute to the design of organisational structures and that they apply different leadership styles, which may have implications for the development of spiritual gifts. For instance, we try to show that proactive construction of various arenas; the size …
