| Abstract: | Purpose – To develop a model that can explain the “government to e-government” transition process. Design/methodology/approach – Reviews the literature on and practice of e-government, as well as the related literature of strategic alignment and maturity models for technology adoption. Offers evidence for the model's validity through case-type material from the web sites of e-governments worldwide. Findings – Six transition paths can be identified, four of which are more likely to result in effective e-government transition. Research limitations/implications – Further work is needed to test the validity of the model. This could involve historical and longitudinal studies of the government to e-government transition process in different governments around the world. Practical implications – The transition model should be of value to e-government strategic planners who are seeking possible transition paths towards the effective development of e-government. Originality/value – The paper tackles the little investigated topic of the transition process through which governments must go as they shift from traditional government to e-government. |
