Information in Public Administration (EGPA-Research Project 1991). Large Scale Information Systems (Comparative Analysis in 8 European Countries).

摘要

The study reports on an international comparative analysis of large scale Information Systems (IS) in Public Administration (PA) in Western Europe. The objective of the study is to find ways and means of describing these systems with a view to potential sources of success and failure. Researchers in the eight participating countries each analyzed two systems, of which one was considered to have been a relative success and the other a relative failure. Use was made of a previously agreed list of research items. Some tentative conclusions are drawn about the applied methods - such as difficulties encountered - and other aspects to be considered in possible further research.
