All accepted papers will be published in the HICSS proceedings and will be considered for the best paper award.

This minitrack aims to provide an opportunity and an open forum for discussion of different technological, socio-political, institutional, legal, and organizational strategies that inform the design, implementation, and management of digital reforms in the public sector. Specifically, this track seeks papers that discuss theories and/or present cases and empirical studies useful to better understand how different digital government policies and/or strategies can lead to successful digital government deployments, or, on the other hand, how different factors may lead to the failure of such projects. Papers which examine or discuss external or contextual factors that affect or influence digital government, such as the political state; organizational culture; institutional factors or normative arrangements are also invited. By digital government action, we mean both macro-level institutional design and micro-level collaboration and competition between diverse stakeholders.
Contributions to literature cover different areas and topics. New and emerging technologies, not to mention new thinking about public administration and government itself, often demand new ways of thinking and innovative approaches to frame these deployments. In the current global society, these new demands become increasingly important. Digital technologies provide in fact new opportunities and challenges for adaptive and agile governance, yet they have also impacted the way by which public administration’s processes and activities are structured and executed. Papers which address these challenges are particularly welcomed this year.
In addition, the minitrack welcomes contributions exploring the issues associated with the design, implementation, and management of policies and strategies that change the nature of the interactions between government and citizens, private sector organizations, and NGOs. Moreover, papers that discuss the political, institutional, regulatory, and organisational implication of the deployment of emerging and disruptive technologies are particularly welcomed.

We invite papers on the following topics, but not limited to:

  *   Best practices for design, implementation, and management of digital innovation in the public sector.
  *   Cases of digital government platforms design, implementation, and management
  *   Design, implementation, and management of interoperability policies: legal, organizational, semantic, and technical layers
  *   Design, implementation, and management of ICT for development strategies
  *   Design, implementation, and management of ICT related outsourcing and insourcing in the public sector
  *   Design, implementation, and management of digital strategies
  *   Design, implementation, and management of digital transformation in policymaking
  *   Design, implementation, and management of E-Procurement policies and strategies
  *   Design, implementation, and management of ICT mediated co-creation and co-production
  *   Design, implementation, and management of ICT transparency, and accountability
  *   Design, implementation, and management of privacy and data protection policies and strategies
  *   Digital by default and its implications
  *   E-justice and ethics of emerging technologies
  *   ICT for efficiency and effectiveness in government action
  *   Regulatory challenges associated with ICTs deployments
  *   Public health versus privacy concerns
  *   Public policy issues in digital government
  *   Quantitative and qualitative analyse of the impact of digital government policies and strategies
  *   Socio-political, institutional, organisational, and ethical impacts of disruptive technologies
  *   Strategies to design, implement, and manage innovative technologies
  *   Examine the impact of digital technologies on the structure and execution of public administration processes and activities
  *   Discuss how the external and internal context in public administration and government is shaping digital strategies and deployments
  *   Impact on the digital mindset on governmental strategies and policies

We are looking for high-quality conference papers that adopt a wide range of approaches on content, case studies, or practical and theoretical models to advance the knowledge related to the design, implementation, and management of strategies and policies in the digital government context. The papers submitted to this minitrack must be new and unpublished.
