Student research seminar: Seok-Jin Eom
In this presentation, I would like to examine what factors made the different outcomes and performances of e-goverment. Focusing on the roles of consultant in private sector and the institutional arrangement through which their policy ideas and knowledge came into government and were fortified and spread, the Federal Enterprise Archietecture initiative in the U.S. federal government will be anlyzed.
The Korean Government benchmarked the US e-Government initatives, but relayed to a “stove-piped” business reference model: shifting from function-driven to agency centric; and from cross-agency to stove-piped systemic.
What’s missing
- Relations between public and private sector
- Receptivity of ideas from private sector to government
- Social locations of the proponents of new ideas (knowledge-bearing groups / knowledge-generating institutions)
- Carriers of ideas from private sector to government
- Institutional arrangement that have influenced the spread, transformation, reinforcement fo the ideas: institutionalized access points, institutionalized managerial tools
