Managing the Digital Transformation, Strategic Management, and Tactical Actions to Implement GFMIS: an Egyptian case study

Abstract

This study aimed to show whether there is a compatibility between the tactical actions to Implement GFMIS with Strategic Management objectives for Digital transformation. The study uses an interpretive case study in which the GFMIS was imposed by the government. A search of the English literature addressing Digital transformation; GFMIS; TAS; E-payment; sustainable development strategy; Egypt vision 2030 and related topics was conducted using online resources and databases accessed through the Egyptian Knowledge Bank -EKB. The study recognizes that the implementation of GFMIS may have emerged primarily as a response to external political and economic pressures. Findings reveal that some achievements have been made, but more needs to be done to overcome the challenges encountered in e-government development and implementation. The study recommends the need to rehabilitate government employees before the process of digital transformation and Work on bridging vulnerabilities before digital transformation and not after implementation.

“…Moreover, most central banks cooperate with MMS providers to increase fintech platforms' usage for financial transactions like mobile money (MM) to lower financing costs (GSMA-b, 2020).
