E-government implementation challenges in developing countries: The project manager’s perspective
journal contribution
posted on 2019-04-09, 12:28 authored by Panayiota Michael, Salomi Dimitriou, Loukas Glyptis, Alex ZarifisE-Government is a global trend with far-reaching benefits if implemented in the optimal way. All nations
irrespective of whether they are considered as developed or developing economies, invest in the formation of
strategies furthering their e-government agenda. While e-government has attracted extensive interest for
over a decade leading to a maturing field, developing countries that are EU members have some
particularities that must be taken into account. This research focuses on the critical success factors of e- government adoption by developing EU countries, using the Republic of Cyprus as a case study. This
research identifies the financial position of a nation and its e-readiness level, as well as the infrastructure
facilities and technological innovations, political and legal frameworks as key factors that influence the level
of e-government adoption. Furthermore, organisational and institutional aspects, as well as the socio- cultural characteristics, should not be underestimated, as these factors are crucial barriers to e-government
adoption. The specific country’s environmental cognition and consciousness is found to be more influential
in this case than what literature on other cases suggest. Transformational leadership is recommended as a
way motivate, build trust and create the necessary shared vision.
