| Title: E-Government Analysis from the Perspective of Czech Companies: Efficient Public e-Administration vs (post-)COVID19 Issues | |
| Abstract: Digital transformation is becoming a popular trend today and it applies to e-Government as well. Since the digitalization is often done merely as applying new technology into an organization without considering the internal processes or complete business model, it is evident, that digitalization in public administration is often focused on renovation the visual part of public portals, while, according to Manfreda (2017), bureaucratic procedures and processes often remain unchanged. Our research aims to determine which public administration services shall be digitized as a matter of priority from Czech corporate representatives’ point of view. Research sample covers 278 interviewees, mostly CEOs and heads of ICT departments. These representatives were personally interviewed via phone calls. Results show relatively high level of digitalization of Czech companies mostly having digitized financial agenda, HR agenda and logistics. As potential surprising finding we can say that despite interviewees attach high priority to digitalization, their companies have not developed any strategic approach to digitalization. | |
