Yes,
that was the sort of direction I was coming from. In my minds eye I was
trying to envisage what the Bibliography/Reference section might contain in our
forthcoming document - beyond CS Transform.

Failure: New Online Paper Compares Different Approaches)
John,
Colin
I
guess I sit somewhere between the two of you. I think the subject area -
which are the factors that often lead e-government programmes or projects
to fail? - is extremly relevant to the TGF. However, I didn't think the
paper itself added much to the debate. It does a reasonable job of
summarising the research and literature in this area, but then most of the
focus is on categorising these into a taxonomy of different research
approaches. I think our approach in the TGF needs to be much less
academic and more practitioner-focused - setting out a pragmatic set of
principles and checklist of critical success factors which governments can use
in order to "build in success".
Our
own initial stab at this is set out in the Critical Success Factor checklist
in the CS Transform white paper that we have thrown into the TGF
mix. That checklist draws on a lot of the research surveyed in the
Manchester paper, but tries to draw it together into an actionable
framework.

I don’t think there’s anything in this for the TGF
TC. It’s probably a very good paper for its purpose but
doesn’t contribute anything for our proposed TG Framework IMO.

Greetings
all
This
from a Yahoo Group list I subscribe to.
Richard
Heeks is a regular, if not frequent, contributor there.
This
Yahoo group list is fairly quiet but I find useful as it comprises a number of
Asia Pacific located folks (e.g. Sri Lanka), that are not members of eGov
OASIS.
I
haven't read this in detail but on a quick skim I saw some things that would
resonate with this group.
Cheers
Colin

Different Approaches
A new paper in the i-Government Working
Paper series is available at: http://www.sed.manchester.ac.uk/idpm/research/publications/wp/igovernment/index.htm
It compares factoral, systems and interpretive approaches to the analysis of
e-government project failure. It identifies the different conceptual,
methodological and epistemological foundations of each approach, and
illustrates approach selection adopted in one research case study.
The paper has a linked educators' guide to facilitate its use for postgraduate
and researcher training.
