Abstract

Developing countries continue to rely on solutions and research from developed countries as they strive for more successful e-government endeavours. Different authors argue that the transfer of solutions and expertise among developed and developing countries is not a straightforward task and the context of countries is a significant influencing factor. This paper investigates and compares e-government design and implementation approaches in developed and developing countries. Along the qualitative analysis, differences and similarities in the approaches are highlighted, and recommendations are brought forward. The paper adds value to current e-government developments, particularly in developing countries, by eliciting approaches applied in developed countries and their impacts to more successful e-government implementation.
