Facing the Challenges of E-Government: A Case Study of the City of Corpus Christi, Texas

摘要

Public managers and vendors working on the development and implementation of e-govern-ment would do well to recall the unique concerns of access, structure, and accountability observed in the case of the City of Corpus Christi. It is important to learn from those who have gone ahead so as not to commit the same mistakes. As with most qualitative analysis, the emphasis of this study was to develop an understanding of the process and context of the implementation of e-government in the city we studied. Our findings should be generalized cautiously, and subsequent studies may suggest expanded or modified findings. Given the popularity of the e-government movement, we hope that others will conduct complementary research and cross-sectional studies to expand research in this area.
