The Implementation Of ICT In Public Sector Organisations. Analysing Selection Criteria For eGovernment Projects
Taking as a starting point the recent approval of 138 co-financing proposals put forward by numerous Italian public bodies within the context of a national e-government plan, the article poses the question of whether these types of initiatives are really likely to unleash mechanisms capable of improving organisational performance. The evaluation criteria adopted in the course of the selection process are analysed on the basis of a model elaborated by Soh and Markus (1995). The aims are: to carry out a general assessment of the role attributed to information and communication technology (ICT) in the modernization of the public sector and to draw some conclusions from this progress towards the realization of e-government.
