European Journal of ePractice

>> European Journal of ePractice issue: Digital Strategies for Government and Business
This issue whose submission deadline is 31 May 2012 aims to tackle a number of questions, among which: What does it take to transform government by ICT? Or, should the ambitions be lowered? What can realistically be achieved and what cannot? Which strategic frameworks do or should inform the deployment of ICT-based solutions in government?

>> European Journal of ePractice issue: eGovernance & Social Media
This issue whose submission deadline is 31 May 2012 aims to tackle questions such as: how should governments themselves use social media, and what are the impacts likely to be? Can these technologies empower users not just to collaborate in service design and delivery, but also to participate in public policy and decision making, as well as in the workings and arrangements of the public sector and public governance more widely? Is there a business case for government in using social media rather than, or in addition to, more traditional tools? How effective is social media monitoring for government whilst they shift to preventive government models in for example healthcare, or security?

>> European Journal of ePractice issue: New Business Models in eGovernment
This issue whose submission deadline is 31 May 2012 focuses on possible new business models for eGovernment.
