Abstract
Purpose
While private companies have continued to take advantage of information and communications technology to improve their businesses, services offered by government organisations have remained deficient over the years. Aims to provide an introduction to the papers within the journal issue which focus on this theme.
Design/methodology/approach
Provides an outline of the themes of the papers.
Findings
Notes that in seven the papers, contexts and problems associated with change instigated by e‐government initiatives are explored. These relate to the intersection of theory, method, empirical findings and novel systems. They discuss practices, methods and barriers associated with the challenge of realising the vision of e‐government.
Originality/value
Provides an introduction to the papers on e‐government, an evolving multidimensional and multidisciplinary field, where many mutually interdependent factors impact on its success, acceptance and perceived benefits.
