Towards smart government with a theoretical strategy model

The concept of smartness gains more and more significant importance in public sector transformation and the governments are beginning to take the paradigm of electronic government to a new stage to engage with citizens, co-develop policies, adopt creative thinking, enable a citizen-centric public service, and adopt innovation as a core value to raise the quality of life of citizens and enhance economic growth. In this respect, this paper performed a comprehensive literature review analysis to the identified smart government approaches. The Most important outcome is a Smart Government Strategy Meta Model which shows that Smart government is a whole effort which can be thought of in terms of three paradigms: 1.Smart participation approach 2.Competentness approach 2.Entrepreneurial approach. These three pillars rely on three enablers: Data, Smart capabilities and innovation. © 14th IADIS International Conf. Infor. Sys. 2021. All rights reserved.
