Information Technology and Public Administration

Government at all levels (federal, state, and local) and across all branches
(legislative, executive, and judicial) is the biggest single investor in and
user of Information Technology (IT).  Given its enormously varied missions,
government employs a vast range of information technology applications which
have dramatically changed the way government is conducted and which will
continue to affect the way citizens and businesses expect government to
function in the 21st century. Government is also a powerful incubator,
creator, influencer, precursor, and director of information technology
programs, initiatives, and trends. The creation of the Internet and the
National Science Foundation's current multiyear Information Technology
Research (ITR) and Digital Government programs are examples of this kind of
government involvement in IT development. The close and complex relationship
between information technology and the public sector has become a major
focus of academic research in fields such as public administration,
organizational behavior, information science, and technology innovation.

The study field of Information Technology and Public Administration is
covered by four minitracks, which are designed to contribute to the
increased understanding of this complex and important topic and to promote
improved research in these fields of study. To promote these goals, the four
minitracks complement each other by establishing distinct focal points

For detailed information on the four minitracks, please see
