Abstract

Governments have invested vast amounts of time, public money, and effort into technologising and transforming public sector relationships, with the goal of achieving optimised government service delivery, governance, and constituency participation. To discover the extent that transformation has actually been achieved by local government organisations, this paper provides a cross-national comparison of local egovernment effectiveness as judged by internal stakeholders in Australia, Germany, and New Zealand. It appears that e-government continues to be viewed by the policymakers charged with developing it as something that supplements, rather than displaces, their traditional government services. Far from being transformative, only incremental improvements to internal procedures and service quality were reported.
