Information and communication technology in the public sector –the role of global crisis
Description:

The project titled “Information and communication technology in the public sector – the role of global crisis”, explores the role of the crisis in the diffusion of digital innovations in the public sector. The current turbulent times and the context of crisis as currently induced by the coronavirus allows looking beyond formal diffusion processes and investigating the role of crisis in spontaneous, leapfrogging developments in digital government. 

The project follows a comparative approach to explore information and communication technology (ICT) use in the conservative welfare states model in Austria and the liberal model in the US. The use of ICT is explored through analysis of government websites and media analysis in the US and Austria, and interviews with policy-makers and top public managers in the US departments and their Austrian counterparts.
