Full textAbstract:
In the context of evaluating effectiveness of information systems, the public sector requires a specific approach for measuring indirect benefits such as strategic / political value. There is not yet a holistic approach and no unified adaptive and time-variant model addressing the problem. In this thesis, Strategic Management Model developed and partially applied at the Ministry of Finance, Turkey, is described. The model is based on the public value delivery chain, from strategic goals to accountability reporting. Public Financial Management Value Space is built step by step, and a method is defined on the Value Space for effectiveness assessment through calculation of five value components, namely the Agency Value, User Value, Political Value, Strategic/Social Value, and Environmental Value, using weighted summation of key goal and performance indicators. Value space is mapped to ontology, then to the object model for flexible system implementation. The assessment calculation method, resulting in a single value allows for a-posteriori benefits assessment, allows not only for cross-comparison of programs, agencies, functions, etc. by fixing the values on the dimensions of the value space under analysis, but also standardization and consolidation. Economy, efficiency and effectiveness are linked as an extension of the assessment model by introducing the expenditure component of the budget.
The model has been applied to two case studies of Information System investments at the Ministry of Finance, and a cross-comparison of these initiatives has been provided.

Thesis (MAdmin)--Stellenbosch University, 2000.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The study is devoted to the determination of an appropriate financial management and budgeting system to support a transforming South Africa. Given the challenges and opportunities presented by the new political dispensation, both locally and abroad, the evolution of financial management and budgeting systems is analysed. Specifically, elements of each budgetary system that stood the test of time to the present, are studied. International case studies of countries that have undergone (or are undergoing) the transformation process successfully, or otherwise, are fully discussed to serve as invaluable lessons and experience for South Africa on its quest for a smooth and swift transformation, to prevent it from ending up as just another unsuccessful transformation. This then serves as a broad foundation for an appropriate financial management and budgeting system which is proactive in the transformation process. South Africa will not reinvent the wheel. Unlike other countries that waited for transformation problems to fall upon them, the South African financial management and budgeting system manipulates the financial management policies. It achieves this by broadly defining the objectives to be achieved through prioritisation and reprioritisation, formulate clear strategies for shortterm, medium-term and long-term plans, goals, processes, functions and activities. It applies all the positive elements of input-orientated systems, activity/ performance measuring systems, objective/goal-orientated system, medium term expenditure framework and multi-year budgets studied and drawn from lessons and experience of other countries. South Africa's appropriate financial management and budgeting system is a broad crosswalk model vacillating between all systems from a broad definition of objectives, goals, processes and activities ending up with a strong financial management tool.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Dié studie word gewy aan die daarstelling van 'n Geskikte Finansiële Bestuur en Begrotingstelsel om 'n veranderende Suid-Afrika te ondersteun. Teen die agtergrond van die uitdagings daargestel deur die nuwe politieke bestel word die revolusie van finansiële bestuur- en begrotingstelsels plaaslik en in die buiteland ontleed en in perspektief geplaas. Meer spesifiek is die elemente van elke begrotingstelsel wat die toets van die tyd deurstaan het, bestudeer. Internasionale studies van lande wat die veranderingsproses suksesvol ondergaan het (of tans daarmee besig is), of andersins, word volledig bespreek om as 'n onskatbare les en ondervinding vir Suid-Afrika in sy soektog na 'n gladde en vinnige transformasie te dien en om te verhoed dat dit op net nog 'n onsuksesvolle transformasie uitloop. Dit dien dan as 'n breë grondslag vir 'n Geskikte Finansiële Bestuur- en Begrotingstelsel wat proaktief in die Suid-Afrikaanse transformasieproses is. Suid-Afrika sal nie die wiel kan heruitvind nie. Anders as in ander lande wat op transformasieprobleme gewag het om hulle te tref, kan die Suid- Afrikaanse Finansiële Bestuur- en Begrotingstelsels finansiële bestuursbeleid pro-aktief ondersteun. Dit word bewerkstellig deur 'n omvattende bepaling van die mikpunte wat bereik moet word deur priorisering en herpriorisering van planne, doelwitte, prosesse, funksies en aktiwiteite op die kort, medium en lang termyn. Dit is moontlik indien al die positiewe elemente van verskillende finansiële bestuur- en begrotingsteiseis, soos bestudeer in en geleer uit ander lande se ondervindings toegepas word. Suid-Afrika se Finansiële Bestuur- en Begrotingstelsel behels 'n breë omvattende model wat put uit al die stelsels wat 'n bepaling van doelstellings, mikpunte, prosesse en aktiwiteite bevat ten einde te eindig met 'n sterk Finansiële Bestuurswerktuig.

Full textAbstract:
e-Government systems are considered by both governments and international organisations to improve administration and management. In Tanzania, an e-government system for education administration, EMIS, is partly implemented but shows several limitations. Statistical data is collected but the process is resource demanding and much of the collected data are never put into the system, and therefore remain inaccessible from this electronic system. The overall aim of this study is to propose an approach to designing more efficient e-government systems within the education sector. The focus is on public schools. The more specific aim of the present study is to: explore more efficient data transfer (faster, more reliable, and potentially less resource demanding) by using mobile telephone technology, especially SMS, as a means for statistical data collection for Tanzanian education management. The study is guided by an overall research approach that comprises systems theory and a socio-technical view. This research is performed as a case study, inspired by the ethnographic method and comprises field studies in East Africa. A multi-technique approach is used for empirical data gathering, including literature study, interviews, and direct observations. The analytical process is performed by developing and applying three analytical models: XIF - the eXtended Sustainable ICT Framework Triple A - Access, Attitude, Awareness Seven Aspects – an Approach Towards Success The contributions of this thesis are as follows. A mobile supported SMS-based statistical data collection process employing a blended digital solution is proposed. Likely effects of such a system would be ‘better’ data e.g. less transmission errors, which provides for ‘better’ administration, ‘better’ decision-making, and also provides for transparency. Moreover, it is very likely that the proposed system is significantly less resource demanding than the present system. The three analytical models that are developed specifically for this study have generic characters and can be used during the implementation process of other e-government solutions. The most important part of the contribution is not the technological solution per se; it is the process that foregoes the actual implementation. The proposal departs specifically from the Tanzanian educational context but has implications for e-government systems solutions and information systems implementation in developing countries in general. Finally, three overall reflections are made based on the major observations of the research findings: the Double ‘e’ Dilemma, on the problem of prioritising electronics before electricity, the Mobiles to Avoid Mobility paradox, highlighting connectivity before mobility, and the opportunity to use the SMS to Combat Corruption weapon.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of the study was to develop a framework for the implementation
of a Business Information Management System in order to increase the
efficiency of the knowledge management strategy in the ultimate quest to
deliver administrative support to public schools at the Gauteng Department of
Education within the Sedibeng East District Office geographical area. A
literature investigation was done on the concepts of e–Government, eplatforms,
information technology and enablers to determine if Government
models are working effectively and efficiently. Based on the findings of the
literature study, a questionnaire was designed and used to measure the
efficiency of the knowledge management strategy in the base of
administrative support to public schools.
Government to Government models are the ability to interact and support
services through the availability of e–platforms in the ultimate support, and
sharing of knowledge through effective knowledge management. Knowledge
in an organisation alternates between tacit and explicit knowledge as it goes
from an idea to explicit knowledge that can be shared throughout the whole
organisation and in the process gives the necessary administrative support to
public schools and learners. Proper managed and implemented systems are
important for the management of knowledge in an organisation. Knowledge
management is a never–ending cycle that starts at discovering knowledge and
goes through generating knowledge, evaluating knowledge, sharing the newly
found knowledge to leveraging the knowledge. This cycle forms the heart of a
knowledge management model like the different education e–platforms that is
available. It was concluded that the knowledge in an organisation can be
managed with the help of one standardized e–platform model throughout the
entire Education Department. Knowledge in an organisation is a very
important resource and ought to be strategically managed. The knowledge
management strategy starts by determining what knowledge is needed and
what is available in the organisation. The chosen standardized model will
form the central part of a successful knowledge management strategy. The
test for the success of a knowledge management strategy is determined with
a knowledge audit.
The state of the knowledge management strategy at Gauteng Department of
Education, Sedibeng East District Office was assessed by employing
convenience survey questionnaires to extract the data. Sedibeng East District
Office and therefore the Department of Education, still have a long way to go
in order to optimise the management of knowledge. The key area of concern
is a lack of a written knowledge management strategy and policy which
results in informal e–platform usage and therefore different ways of managing
knowledge. A large portion of the indecisiveness seen in the analysis of the
questionnaires could be attributed to the lack of a formal knowledge
management strategy. It was further concluded that a knowledge gap
assessment is the start of the knowledge management strategy and will give
direction to the strategy. The culture at Sedibeng East District Office was not
tested to determine if the staff will be supportive of a knowledge management
strategy. However, the survey indicated that much needed administrative
support to public schools needs to be formalized in order to optimize the
services and standards of support. A practical knowledge management
framework is proposed in order to assist the Department in the
implementation of a knowledge management strategy and bridging the gaps
found after analysing the questionnaires.Thesis (M.B.A.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.

Full textAbstract:
Numerous models of IS success and technology acceptance their extensions have been proposed and applied in empirical. This study continues this tradition and extends the body of knowledge on the topic of IS success by developing a more comprehensive model for measuring IS success and technology acceptance within a government organization. The proposed model builds upon three established IS success and technology acceptance frameworks namely the DeLone and McLean (2003), Venkatesh et al.'s (2003) unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), and Wixom and Todd (2005). The findings from this study provide not only a comprehensive IS success assessment model but also insights into whether and how IS success models are influenced by application variables as applied within a government organization. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed for instrument refinement and validity test of the existing and proposed models. Using data from employees of a local government municipal, the comprehensive model explained 32 percent variance. Four of the hypothesis were fully supported five were not supported, and four were partially supported. In addition, the results suggest that behavioral intention may not be the best predictor of technology acceptance in a mandatory environment.

Full textAbstract:
South Africa is faced with enormous backlog of service delivery which is attributed to the apartheid government and performance challenges especially in areas like Eastern Cape. It was then identified that there was no uniform system to monitor and evaluate performance of government institutions and the impact of the services they render to the community. The government then adopted a monitoring and evaluation system called Government - Wide Monitoring and Evaluation System for all government departments and municipalities. This study analysed the implementation of this Government-Wide Monitoring and Evaluation System in Eastern Cape Municipalities with specific reference to Chris Hani District Municipality. It further assessed the effectiveness of this monitoring and evaluation system and whether its implementation has improved performance in municipalities, so as to identify the hampering limitations and the appropriate improvement strategies that can be recommended. In order to reach conclusions to the questions and objectives, the study was conducted using qualitative research methodology. Interviews were conducted as described in chapter 3. Chapter 4 presents the findings that were achieved from the interviews and the interpretation of these findings whilst chapter 5 presents conclusion and recommendations based on the findings.

Imagine a world where someone’s personal information is constantly compromised, where federal government entities AKA Big Brother always knows what anyone is Googling, who an individual is texting, and their emoticons on Twitter. Government entities have been doing this for years; they never cared if they were breaking the law or their moral compass of
human dignity. Every day the Federal government blatantly siphons data with programs from the original ECHELON to the new series like PRISM and Xkeyscore so they can keep their tabs on issues that are none of their business; namely, the personal lives of millions. Our allies are taking note; some are learning our bad habits, from Government Communications Headquarters’ (GCHQ) mass shadowing sharing plan to America’s Russian inspiration, SORM. Some countries are following the United States’ poster child pose of a Brave New World like order of global events. Others like Germany are showing their resolve in their disdain for the rise of tyranny. Soon, these new found surveillance troubles will test the resolve of the American Constitution and its nation’s strong love and tradition of liberty. Courts are currently at work to resolve how current concepts of liberty and privacy apply to the current conditions facing the privacy of society. It remains to be determined how liberty will be affected as well; liberty for the United States of America, for the European Union, the Russian Federation and for the people of the World in regards to the extent of privacy in today’s blurred privacy expectations.B.S.

Alrwais, Omer Abdulaziz. "Towards a New GIS Maturity Model: An Organizational Usage Perspective." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2016. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cgu_etd/100.
Full textAbstract:
The first condition required for an Information Technology (IT) system to produce value is that it be used by its designated target group of users. Despite the prevalence of “system use” in IS literature, it has been often limited to the individual level. The organizational perspective is rarely considered. This dissertation focuses on system usage in the GIS domain through an organizational lens. GIS is a technology with the potential to transform government by enhancing business processes and providing a platform to manage spatial and non-spatial data, which is expected to result in better decision-making. However, little is known about how this technology is actually implemented organization-wide and the environment surrounding its use. Current GIS maturity models have not examined this usage broadly or in depth. These models lack empirical validation and measurement tools to diagnose maturity are not readily available. Based on GIS, maturity models, and system usage literature, this dissertation presents a more comprehensive maturity model for evaluating local government usage of GIS along with a measurement tool. This work followed De Bruin et al., (2005) guidelines for developing maturity models. This new model was discussed with practitioners and academics, was pilot-tested, and then widely tested by Southern California local governments through an online questionnaire. Results show support for the validity of the proposed maturity model and demonstrate its utility. This dissertation revealed that system, task, user, organization and GIS department are viable dimensions of GIS usage from an organizational perspective. Results suggest that increasing actual GIS usage leads to an increase in GIS value. Results further show that the efficiency and effectiveness benefits of GIS are mostly realized; however, the societal benefits of GIS are small.

The study aims to investigate the current process for vacation exchange at Karlstad municipality to elicit system requirements for a future system. The investigation includes creating an understanding of the vacation exchange process, the roles involved, and their tasks performed in the process. Further, the limitations, the information used, and the decisions made in the vacation exchange process were also a part of the investigation. The investigation of the vacation exchange process is performed by analyzing an internal document from Karlstad municipality and interviews conducted with the three roles involved in the process. The interviews are transcribed, summarized, and modeled by process models using 2c8 Modeling Tool to explain the vacation exchange process, inputs, and outputs, and the tasks each role performs. The findings showed three specific categories in the vacation exchange process that should be improved when a future system is designed and developed to support the process. The three found categories were: lack of information, information flow, and distribution of responsibilities. In conclusion, the future system should have a function to notify the roles involved. Information used in the vacation exchange process should be gathered and easily accessible in the future system. Further, the future system should support communication between the roles involved in the vacation exchange process, as well as include functions for back-up, digital sending of documents, and facilitate rarely performed tasks. Lastly, the future system should define the responsibilities for each role to balance the tasks each role performs in the process.

Full textAbstract:
In an era of acute concern about airline safety, bird strikes are still one of the major hazards to aviation worldwide. The severity of the problem is such that it is mandatory in all developed countries to include bird management as part of airport safety management programs. In Australia, there are approximately 500 bird aircraft strikes per year (Bailey 2000). Brisbane airport has a relatively high occurrence of strikes, with an average of 77 recorded every year (2002-2004).
Given the severity of the problem, a variety of techniques have been employed by airports to reduce bird strikes. Scare devices, repellents, continuous patrols for bird hazing, use of raptors to clear airspace of birds and depredation are used by many airports. Even given the diversity of control methods available, it is accepted that habitat management is the most effective long term way to control birds in and around the airport space. Experimental studies have shown that habitat manipulation and active scaring measures (shooting, scaring etc), can reduce bird numbers to an acceptable level.
The current study investigated bird populations in six major vegetation habitat types identified within the operational and surrounding areas of Brisbane airport. In order to determine areas where greater bird control and management should be focused, bird abundance, distribution, and activity were recorded and habitats that pose the greatest bird strike risk to aircraft were identified. Secondly, species with high hazard potential were identified and ranked according to their hazard potential to aircraft.
This study also investigated the effectiveness of different vegetation management options to reduce bird species abundance within operational areas of Brisbane airport. Four different management options were compared. Each management option was assessed for grass structural complexity and potential food resources available to hazardous bird species.
Analysis of recorded data showed that of the habitats compared within the Brisbane airport boundaries, grasslands surrounding runways, taxiways and aprons possess the greatest richness and abundance of bird species that pose the greatest potential hazard to aircraft. Ibis and the Australian kestrel were identified as the bird species that pose the greatest risk to aircraft at Brisbane airport, and both were found in greatest numbers within the managed grasslands surrounding operational areas at the airport.
An improved reporting process that allows correct identification of all individual bird species involved in bird strikes will not only increase the accuracy of risk assessments, but will also allow implementation of more effective control strategies at Brisbane airport.
Compared with current grassland management practice, a vegetation management option of maintaining grass height at 30-50cm reduced total bird utilisation by 89% while utilisation of grassland by potentially hazardous birds was also reduced by 85%.
Maintaining grass height within the 30-50cm range also resulted in a 45% reduction in the number of manipulations required per year (11 to 6), when compared with current management practices, and a 64% reduction in annual maintenance cost per hectare. When extrapolated to the entire maintained grass area at Brisbane airport, this resulted in a saving of over $60 000 annually.
Optimisation of potential hazard reduction will rely on future studies that investigate the effect of particular vegetation species that could replace the existing mix of grasses used at Brisbane airport and an understanding of the relative importance of vegetation structure and food supply in determining utilisation by potentially hazardous bird species.

Wu, Wei-Ning. "Determinants of Citizens’ 311 Use Behaviors: 311 Citizen-initiated Contact, Contact Channel Choice, and Frequent Use." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2015. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc801912/.
Full textAbstract:
Facing increasingly complex policy issues and diminishing citizen satisfaction with government and service performance, managing the quality of citizen relationship management has become a main challenge for public managers. Solutions to complex policy problems of service performance and low level of citizen participation often must be developed by encouraging citizens to make their voices heard through the various participation mechanisms. Reflecting on this need, the municipal governments in the U.S. have developed centralized customer systems for citizen relationship management. 311 centralized customer system (named 311 in this study) has the functions of citizen-initiated contact, service-coproduction, and transaction, and many local governments launch 311 to maintain or enhance their relationship with the public. Using 311 is an easy and free technically for citizens, but ensuring some degree of citizen engagement and citizens’ 311 use has been challenging for local public managers of municipalities. Despite calls for the importance of 311 in the service and information delivery process, fair treatment and access to use of governmental information, citizen participation, government responsiveness, and citizen satisfaction, to the best of our understanding, no empirical studies explore citizens’ 311 behaviors in the micro and individual level in the field of public administration. This dissertation provides a comprehensive understanding of the 311 centralized customer system, helps local public managers know citizens’ perceived perspectives toward the operation of 311, and assists these managers to develop an effective 311 system in municipalities. The dissertation’s main purpose is to clarify the importance of 311 to citizen relationship management and provide insights into citizens’ 311 use behaviors. More specifically, this dissertation tries to answers the following questions: a. Why do citizens use 311? Do the various groups of the population access and use 311 in San Francisco equally? If not, what factors influence the citizens’ 311 citizen-initiated contact behaviors? b. Why do citizens choose the 311 digital channel to contact with local governments? c. Why do citizens use 311 frequently? This dissertation will address these questions and draws on data from the 2011 citizen survey of City of San Francisco to explore citizens’ 311 use behaviors by examining them from citizens’ perspectives. The main arguments of each question listed above are: 1. 311 citizen-initiated contact is different from traditional citizen-initiated contact, and exposure to governmental-ICT environment, gender, income, and race are the factors influencing 311 citizen-initiated contact. 2. The digital divide, including the social side of the digital divide and access-side of the digital divide, influences citizens’ 311 channel choice. 3. Citizens’ technology acceptance, citizen satisfaction, and frequent use of public services influence the frequency of citizens’ 311 use.

An increasing need for service efficiency has influenced the need for the adoption of e- government across all governmental departments and agencies. However, in many developing countries such initiatives face numerous challenges, which slowed their implementation down or reduced their effectiveness. This study assessed factors influencing the adoption of the Government Fiscal Management Information System (GFMIS), a Thai e-government initiative, by the employees of the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives (MOAC). Identification of such inhibitory factors may be used to reduce their influence on use of the GFMIS in the MOAC, and more generally, be used to improve performance of similar existing Thai e-government initiatives and improve adoption of future ones.
An extended model was devised based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) devised by Ventakesh et al. 2003. This model was empirically tested using structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis with responses from a usable sample size of 315 (after deleting univariate and multivariate outliers, and excluding incomplete responses). SEM analysis on the Extended UTAUT model showed a poor fit. A modified version of the original UTAUT, the Adapted Original UTAUT, was tested in the same way and found to have a good fit.
Path analysis of the Adapted Original UTAUT model showed a number of differences from the Original UTAUT model it was modified from. The Effort Expectancy construct had no significant effects on either Intention to Use Future Technologies or Use Behaviour. Since the effects of this construct are widely reported to decrease with experience of the system, this may indicate that the employees have become used to the GFMIS since its introduction in 2007. The Facilitating Conditions and Performance Expectancy constructs had significant positive influences on both Intention to Use Future Technologies and Use Behaviour. Oddly, the Social Influence construct had a significant positive effect on Intention to Use New Technologies while having a significant negative effect on Use Behaviour. This, combined with the lack of a significant relationship between the Intention to Use Future Technologies and the Use Behaviour constructs, suggests that there may be a gap between what employees of the MOAC say about the GFMIS and how they make use of it.
Non-parametric tests showed Age, Gender and Education Level of respondents moderated the effects of the Social Influence construct. Similar tests showed that Age and Education Level of respondents moderated the effects of the Facilitating Conditions construct (which has a significant positive effect on both Intention to Use Future Technologies and Use Behaviour). None of the demographic factors moderated the effects of the Performance Expectancy construct, suggesting that the benefits of using the GFMIS are accepted by all employees.
Regardless of the details learned about hesitancy in future research; workshops and training sessions to ameliorate problems are in order immediately. Educational aids need to be of high quality and continuous, which will enhance the integration of GFMIS into Thailand’s e- government system.

The study of Government Budget Accounting Information Management System Student: Hsiu-yun Chang Advisor：Prof. Jaw-Sin Su Chinese Culture University ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to investigate the central governmental organizations’ employment of the“Government Budget and Accounting Information Management System”（GBA） and the possible correlations among relevant factors. The survey is mainly carried out by interviews and questionnaires and the main subjects of study are those persons involved in the GBA system. The survey data are analyzed by the SPSS10.0 statistical software in order to examine the degrees of correlation and possible causal relationships between the crucial factors. Whether the GBA system has achieved its expected goals is also statistically tested. Several statistical methods are used in our study: Interview Analysis、Reliability Analysis、Descriptive Statistical Analysis、T-test、One-Way ANOVA、and Scheffe’s method. Then the following conclusions are reached which can be used as a refer-ence for the relevant organizations for further study: 1.The average scores given by users of GBA and its various subsystems con-cerning the system’s set-up and functionality are both positive and high, showing the benefits of implementing the GBA system for electronic ac-counting. 2.The lowest average score（M=3.60）in the questionnaire concerning GBA system’s set-up occurs when the question whether「the GBA system employs reliable safety measures」, showing extra need of data protection and man-agement. 3.Our study suggests that the following moves should be made：（1）expand the information department’s organization （2） set up effective review pro-cedures （3） personnel training（4）modify the inadequate regulations as soon as possible（5）construct a knowledge-management system model（6）plan adequate education-training projects （7）change inflexible behavior（8）learn information technology.

The application of Information technology in government is much more complicated and widely-ranged than before. Due to the speedy expanding of information business, information management department in government has to deal with not only the severe shortage of human resource but the decreasing quality of output. In this circumstance, outsourcing the information business seems to be the promptest and best solution. However, most of the previous researchers only focused on the software provider’s responsibility to maintain the quality of the delivered software product. Despite that, information management department has also to be able to control the software acquisition process. Simultaneously, the pressure the government information practitioners endure during the outsourcing process is one of key crucial issues for information management department. Hence, this study aims at identifying the government information practitioners’ core competence when outsourcing information business. Based on the “Manual for Information System Acquisition Process”, released by Industrial Development Bureau Ministry of Economics Affairs, and CMMI-ACQ released by SEI, the study identified six core competences, namely proposal-addressing ability, project acquisition ability, project management ability, system-developing ability, communication and negotiation ability and process management ability when outsourcing the software system development. The study also considered the three factors: (1) roles in outsourcing process（information management acquirer or software provider）, (2) scale of information management department and (3) scale of software systems as independent variables to investigate their impacts on the importance of different core competences. The survey in the study is targeted at senior government information practitioners in information management department and senior project managers and system analysts from software providers. The effective questionnaires of the study are 64. The findings of the study are as following. (1) Generally, most of the respondents agree with the importance of six core competences in the software system outsourcing processes. Among them, the proposal-addressing ability outweighs the others, whereas process management ability is the least. (2) As to the three independent variables, the roles of both information management department and software provider don’t have common consensus on the importance of the proposal-addressing ability. Secondly, there is no significant difference of six core competences among various scales of information management department. Thirdly, the proposal-addressing ability, system-developing ability and communication and negotiation abilities possess diverse degrees of importance when the scales of system differ. Finally, based on the above findings, this study provides some practical suggestions for the government information providers, information management department and government. Keywords: Information Business Outsourcing, Core competence, Software acquisition, Information practitioners.

With the rapid development of computer science and technology, new problems are followed. Personal information would be stolen and we even have no idea when it happened. Attack of virus and hackers may destroy all the information in your computer. When all documents, data and prcedures are digitalized, the Government and enterprises need to pay more attention on the information security. A carless mistake resulted in hundreads of millions dollars lost. An unexpected attack caused all valued information destroyed. The total cost of information security incident was not only money lost, but also invisible loss beyond estimation because of data ruined and without backup. At present the information security is more than preventing virus and hackers. In order to shelter organization’s property from variant attacks, it is important to well protct all kinds of information assets. If a multi-layer protection frame of information security can obstruct attack from external network. How to take precautions against internal network attack and man-made information incident? Due to the uncertainty of information security, we need to think carefully about how to create a high-efficiency but low-risk information environment. And the information security management standard we followed provides our organizaiton an effective insurance. Under the criterion of ISO 27001, we hope a safe information operation environment for our organization will be built. This research is based on ISO 27001 to study current information security management in government institute. As ISO 27001 includes 11 items, this research also tries to find out how three factors - ploicy, staffs and management influence Information Security Management System. Meanwhile, this research attempts to analyze the difference between administrator and end users of government institute, by way of interview.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the implementation of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system at Western Cape Government (WCG), South Africa. The study evaluated the state of the implementation in order to establish whether the system met information and records management requirements and objectives. A
probability sampling was used on a total population of 51 respondents and participants. The data were triangulated using multi-methods, whereby both qualitative and quantitative approaches were adopted in a sequential manner. A structured online survey questionnaire, online interviews, and document analysis were used to collect data, which were descriptively analysed.
The study revealed that although the WCG has embarked on digitisation projects,
which culminated in the department-wide implementation of ECM, the system was not evaluated regularly and consistently. This resulted in an inability to capture the lessons learnt – as well as a failure to realise the full benefits of implementing the system. The findings also showed that ECM implementation at WCG encountered some challenges – for example, inadequate training provided to staff, lack of adequate technology infrastructure, and poor technical support with regard to
systems for managing digital records – that impacted on the system’s efficiency.
Some of the recommendations of the study are that WCG should consider conducting regular ECM reviews to determine whether the system performs as required in terms of bringing about expected benefits, such as easy retrieval of digitally stored content.
Departments should also ensure that there is an alignment among various digital applications for the purpose of creating a single enterprise platform that promotes collaboration and knowledge sharing. A study of ECM implementation in other provinces would enable a comparison of how the system performs elsewhere,
including how it could be used as a viable option for organisations to promote digitisation.Information Science

In the recent years, the invasion of computer virus, Trojan Horses and hacker has not only caused great damages to the operation of enterprise but also leads to the confidential information leak-out. To take precaution against this problem, the domestic and overseas companies are using ISMS (Information Security Management System) to keep the important business operation going and minimize the risk of information leak-out to the lowest when serious attacks occur. Through the studies of related performance evaluation, ISMS individual case studies and information security development strategies, they have conducted the Balance Socrecard evaluation management model and created an ISMS performance evaluation indicator system. The information security development strategies and goals are defined by the four perspectives of Balanced Scorecard –‘Mission’, ‘Customer’, ‘Internal Business Process and ‘Learning and Growth’, and conclude strategy measures and action plans. This case study has concluded that to design a successful Balanced Scorecard, a 4C principle – Communication, Control, Connection and Completeness. The reference of these four 4C principles allows each institution implementing ISMS to establish performance evaluation system. The studies also show that attention on both sides of the supervisor and employees to two-way communication model minimizes resistance to application; focus on strategic objective relation enables increase of efficiency in performance management; establishment of an all-sided and complete set of indicators enhances the applicability of balance score card; good flow control ability facilitates the practice of balance score card.

Environmental testing belongs to basic engineering in the environment protection system. The essence of environmental testing is problem-based. It can handle the serious environmental problems, including enforcing and redacting the policy of environmental protection. (e.g. establishment of the Environmental Law, environment quality monitoring, environment impact assessment, censorship of the Environment Law, environment improve assessment, and identification of Public nuisance disputes, etc.) These all depend on objective, exactness and justice of environmental testing. At presently, Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) stipulates that the function of environmental testing is to manage public or private testing organization, supervise the environmental analysis departments of various local county and city governments, establish the testing methods for environmental testing technique and standard, check on data quality for EPA’s commissioned project, support EPA’s case or Environmental Law, and analyze trace toxic material, etc. Therefore, all government organizations have Technique Support Sections or Laboratory Offices to analyze air, water, waste, toxic material and soil information, which play an important role in the environmental analysis departments. Because all the testing works be done in the laboratories, we can by Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to avoid mistakes, simplify environmental testing work, and practice quality control systems. The LIMS use computer to dispose of diffusion data. It not only can raise the accuracy of the date but also the laboratory’s quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program, shorten work time and reduce personnel expense to increased testing efficiency so that the testing data possess justice force.

Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the Masters Degree of Technology: Public Relations Management, Durban University of Technology, 2010.This research emerges within the context of changes that occurred in the public sector post apartheid, which meant invariable changes within the organisation’s structure and processes. More specifically, it brought with it a changing role of communication in managing change. With communication being the lifeblood and binding element within an organisation, having effective and efficient communication within the organisation can therefore assist in keeping the various parts of an organisation together, making it easier for the organisation to maintain itself during change. This study locates Senior Communication Officers within Thusong Service Centres in the GCIS and investigates the role communication plays in managing change within the organisation. The study critically examines Lundwig Von Bertalanffy’s (1968) Systems Theory in understanding the interrelatedness of a system such as the GCIS and the role organisational communication channels play in maintaining the process of change. Furthermore, this study analyses the influence of the Chaos Theory within the concept of managing change and the flow of communication within an organisation. This study suggests ways in which Senior Communication Officers can play a vital role in managing change by analysing the underlying principles and concepts of the Chaos Theory and incorporating them within the role of communication during the change process.

The study used both the General Systems Theory (Bertalanffy, 1968) and the Organising Theory (Weick, 1989) as its theoretical framework. The findings suggested that organisational culture at the GCIS was shaped by both employee behaviour and organisational activities. The study found that information sharing was poorly implemented by the GCIS, which meant that, information contained in organisational documents differed from the perceptions shared by the employees.

The administrative reform in all of the countries, all depends on via "the government reform" making the government performance results able to improve, and the government service outsourcing has become the most important strategy for government reform. Along with the rapid development of the information tech, and the popularization of the applications, introducing information tech to the government service of the high-efficiency, low cost, flexibility, fast response is the basic conditions for the modern government forging ahead into 21 centuries. "The government information service outsourcing" results in how to establish availably amid in the "partner relationship" a new topic in the long term, as well as under the condition of parts of information service providers lacking of the information professional knowledge with government agency to the government service. How to construct and lead to a "cooperation mechanism" strategic goal and reinforces efficiency is a successful key point to the outsourcing. The target of "cooperation mechanism" is "the management of the conflict" in the aspects of negatively, in addition to solving the conflicts that have appeared, also ought to think twice about the reason of the conflict, and avoid the possible conflicts. In the aspects of aggressively, it is to "move forward towards the whole target", whose aims consist in reaching to team up the goal availably. The purpose of the cooperation does not depend on the none of the conflicts, also, within the scope of cooperation. In other words, the cooperative "effectiveness" of one of both sides’ achievement must meet with the following objectives in the meantime: first, it can''t deviate from the whole goal; second, it must ensure to accomplish the whole objective benefits. Confronted with the conflicts appearing in the interval, this research proposes a new point of view as well as food for thoughts: “Is there any chance these regarded as the reformed objects "bureaupathologies " cause critical factor of the conflict?". We refer to various organization theories and methods, originated from feeling have on the spot "examination mechanism", and we wish we could break through politician system constituent "black box" mode of every kind of "shell" block, and find out not appropriate "processing" hidden under the politician post authority. We expect to expel " bureaupathologies " to solve and reduce the development of the conflict. Now we think of Kaohsiung City property management system outsourcing as the individual cases study. We can illustrate practical manipulation inspection, propose the concrete conclusion and suggestions, and raise the capability of "Cooperation mechanism", in order to promote the success of “government information service outsourcing".

Government Procurement Act implemented on May, 1999 makes the government purchase move towards specialization and a very great change to the procedure of purchasing. The government manages affairs by using the information technologies (Information Technologies, IT) establishing related services, improve administrative efficiency. But “The Electronic Government Procurement System” which the public project committee promoted is unable to fulfill the requirements of real works. Some organization in case in order to improve the military efficiency of purchasing and apply information technologies developed the “Purchasing Management System” to re-set the procedures of purchasing according to the relevant military purchase regulations and inside procedures. This study adopts the individual case study that investigate the successful critical elements of that the enterprise conducted the ERP system combine the real work to establish the indictors assessed of performance in this study and investigate the performance differences of the purchasing department of the government organization before and after information technologies was oriented by summing up the performance indicators and put them in order in the four perspectives of balance scorecard. At the same time, carrying out the positive study that interviewed the expert who has deeply practice experience of militarily purchasing management, to determine the variations of performance and problems in the four perspectives of balance scorecard. Through the study of performance variation analysis and the real interview, the study results are as follows: 1. On the whole, in the four perspectives of balance scorecard, the performances are remarkable in the Internal Business Process and Customer Perspectives but they are relatively non-remarkable in the Learning and Growth and Financial Perspectives. It can be reference for the managers to promote the system progresses greatly. 2. The management information system really promotes inside procedure efficiency and work quality. When the information management system was applied to the procedures of purchasing, the high-order administrator relatively pays attention to the instant, exactness of the system; and the systematic user relatively pays attention to functionality, convenience of the system. 3. On the whole, it was tally with the expected goal “re-set the procedures of purchasing” after the information technologies was applied to the procedures of purchasing. But, the performances of indicators in the Financial Perspective are not obvious. The inference is that the purchase of military organ is mission-oriented and focuses on the operation procedures not the cost concept of the work. 4. Whether the performances of Purchasing Management System which was established by the utilization of the information technologies are obvious, the critical element is the resolution of the executive. The administrator can improve the unapparent parts among the performance variations showed from the four perspectives of balanced scorecard with information technologies. 5. It have performance measurement, management procedures and schemes concurrently in balance scorecard that was applied in the nonprofit organization more suitably and make the organization develop balanced. Through the study, information technologies could promote the efficiency and quality of purchase in the procedures of purchasing. This study results could be the reference for different departments in the government organizations to manage and purchase.

The curriculum for grades 1-9 uses a "one outline, multiple textbook edition" policy to enhance the creation of new teaching and multiple assessments. There was an issue between the students and parents for the new textbook as the new ingredient, which is not connected to the old ones. They often used the relevant education services from cram schools to help them and as a result, the cram schools became more numerous. For this reason, in order to offer parents and cram school pupils a suitable and convenient website, the education authority has set up a system:「the short-term cram schools information management system in each municipality directly under the jurisdiction of the Central Government and each county/city」by the BOT. However, there still are some problems for people to surf the new website on line. The research uses the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to assess users'' behaviour and in order to understand how they felt when visiting the web site. This provides information that can be used by the system editor when improving the system in the future. The owners of the cram schools in Tainan county are the subject of this research which uses the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), to confirm with the Study Model whether each hypothesis has been demonstrated. The results reveal that the enhanced the perceived usefulness is much better than the perceived ease of use for the former can affect the users willingness to use this website rather than the latter. Thus, if the people in the authority in the relevant departments want people to use the website, they should add more the perceived usefulness from the perceived ease of use and then it could then be more successful.

Full textAbstract:
An audit of financial statements relies heavily on authentic records to yield informed audit opinions. Without proper records of transactions, the objective of auditing financial statements becomes difficult. In the digital environment, determining the authenticity of digital documents for purposes of auditing is even more problematic because of a lack of criteria used by auditors for the declaration of such authenticity. This study sought to develop a framework for the authentication of records in a government accounting system in Botswana with a view to supporting the audit process in the public sector. This qualitative study framed within the interpretivism epistemological research paradigm, used archival diplomatics as a theoretical lens. Data were collected through system analysis, analysis of documents such as legislation, as well as interviews with auditors, ICT professionals and records management practitioners purposively selected from the Botswana National Archives and Records Services, Office of the
Auditor General, Department of Information Technology, Accountant-General’s Department, Department of Internal Audit and Department of Corporate Services of the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development.
The study established that the legislative framework for managing digital records does exist in Botswana. A lack of skills by records management professionals and auditors to authenticate digital records was also noted. The absence of some criteria to authenticate digital records means that auditors use their own discretion with regard to their authenticity. In addition, as a business system, the Government Accounting and Budgeting System (GABS) does produce and store digital records, but their authenticity and availability over time are not guaranteed. This weakness can be addressed by integrating GABS with an Enterprise Content Management (ECM). Currently, records authenticity in GABS is ensured through reliance on social and technical indicators (information technology and system application controls).
The study suggests a framework for the authentication of digital accounting records in a government accounting system with the hope that its implementation would support the audit process. It is concluded that because of the failure to establish guidelines and checklists for auditors to authenticate digital records, there will be continued reliance on information technology and system application controls. Therefore, it is recommended that the Auditor General should develop a checklist for authentication. A further study of the integration of Government Accounting and Budgeting System with an Enterprise Content Management to properly manage digital records produced and stored in the system is recommended.Information Science

Records are essential to the efficient administration of municipalities and more critical to the facilitation of good governance, transparency and accountability. Despite this, the records management processes of many municipalities in South Africa have remained ineffective and inefficient. The study investigated the extent to which records management enhances service delivery in Mogale City Local Municipality. The objective was to determine how far sound records management goes in enhancing the public services, accountability, transparency and good governance. The study sought to address the following research questions: “What contribution, if any, does records management play in enhancing service delivery?”; “Are there any suitable standards and practices for creation and maintenance of records MCLM?”; “To what extent does records management impact on transparency and accountability in Mogale City Local Municipality?” and “Identifying the benefits derived from records management in the municipality.” The study was underpinned by the record life-cycle and records continuum models. The literature reviewed was based on themes derived from the research questions, the underpinning models and broader areas of the study.
The study adopted an interpretivist paradigm, which is associated with the qualitative research approach. The study adopted a single case study design and data were collected through the use of interviews and observation. The qualitative data collected were presented and analysed in narrative description. The findings of the study revealed that there is a positive correlation between records management and effective service delivery. In conclusion, it is evident that the future well-being and quality of basic service delivery depend on the ability of the MCLM to utilise records management strategic planning processes. Records contain information that will assist the municipality in determining the required resources, and moreover, in setting or improving service standards. The records management policy in the municipality must be adhered to and practiced consistently to ensure compliance and sound records management. This affirms the need for reformed records management strategies to enable administration efficiency and improved service delivery in the municipality.Rekords is noodsaaklik vir die doeltreffende administrasie van munisipaliteite en meer krities vir die fasilitering van goeie bestuur, deursigtigheid en verantwoordbaarheid.

Die literatuur is gebaseer op temas wat afgelei is van die navorsingsvrae, die onderliggende modelle en breër areas van die studie. Die studie het 'n interpretivist paradigma aangeneem, wat geassosieer word met die kwalitatiewe navorsingsbenadering. Die studie het 'n enkele gevallestudie aangeneem en data is ingesamel deur die gebruik van onderhoude en observasie. Die kwalitatiewe data wat ingesamel is, is aangebied en ontleed in narratiewe Beskrywing. Die bevindinge van die studie het getoon dat daar 'n positiewe korrelasie tussen rekordbestuur en effektiewe dienslewering is. Ten slotte is dit duidelik dat die toekomstige welstand en gehalte van basiese dienslewering afhang van die vermoë van die MCLM om rekordbestuur-strategiese beplanningsprosesse te benut. Rekords bevat inligting wat die Munisipaliteit sal help om die vereiste hulpbronne te bepaal, en verder in die opstel of verbetering van diensstandaarde. Die rekordbestuurbeleid in die munisipaliteit moet nagekom en konsekwent beoefen word om nakoming van voldoening en goeie rekordbestuur te verseker. Dit bevestig die behoefte aan Reformatoriese rekordbestuurstrategieë om administraseringdoeltreffendheid en verbeterde dienslewering in die Munisipaliteit moontlik te maak.
