“…Finally, we must emphasize that our investigation of challenges with data governance is limited to the views within local government organizations. Involving citizens is a very important direction for future data governance research, and also a well-known problem in the e-government literature (Medaglia 2012;Medaglia et al 2017;Olphert and Damodaran 2007;. With the instatement of GDPR,…”

Data Governance as a Collective Action Problem

While governing data as an organizational asset has clear benefits, mobilizing an organization to implement data governance remains elusive for practitioners. On that account, this paper examines why governing data is difficult in local government organizations. Based on a literature review and an empirical case study, we establish the inherent challenges and build on the notion of collective action to theorize the problem of data governance. Following an engaged scholarship approach, we collect empirical material through six group interviews with 34 representatives from 13 different Danish municipalities. We extend existing data governance research with our problem triangle that identifies and explicates the complex relations between six distinct challenges: value, collaboration, capabilities, overview, practices, and politics. We demonstrate the value in theorizing data governance as a collective action problem and argue for the necessity of ensuring researchers and practitioners achieve a common understanding of the inherent challenges, as a first step towards developing data governance solutions that are viable in practice.

“…Some studies found that PPPs are a fundamentally new organizational form [27], and the frictions among the partners in this new organizational form may lead to vital issues and unintended consequences [11]. Therefore, further discussion on the management of such structures has been carried out to investigate the governance mechanisms in PPPs [24]. However, governance issues associated with the PPP project in the context of smart cities are often more complicated compared with the ones in the E-government, which, therefore, need to be addressed in further research.…”

Due to the technological and financial complexity and difficulties of smart city initiatives, the local governments usually adopt a public-private partnership model to govern such projects. This study explores the opportunities and challenges of building smart cities through the public-private partnership (PPP) model. Using an exploratory case study methodology, we interviewed participants in building smart city initiatives across China to develop a theoretical model that captures the essence of such a partnership. Case interview data from three major cities in China were utilized. We analyzed the data of 28 interviews with officials and personnel from public, private, and hybrid organizations involved in smart city projects. Finally, we identified and theoretically validated the following research findings: (1) two key components of the success of smart city initiatives; (2) four key governance structure characteristics of the PPP model that enables the smart city success; (3) two key considerations for establishing the governance structure of a PPP model. The theoretical framework we propose herein can be used to understand the current status and provide guidance for future smart city initiatives.

“…One such interaction point is the establishment of electronic identification systems (Whitley and Hosein, 2008;Grönlund, 2010), used both by the financial sector and the public sector (Medaglia et al, 2017). Official systems for the authentication of citizens, such as identification cards, have traditionally been the exclusive responsibility of state bureaucracies.…”

The growing phenomenon of financialization influences an array of societal dimensions that go beyond the economic realm, to include public policy-making and information technology (IT). This study presents a cross-country analysis of the emergence of national electronic identification (e-ID) solutions as the result of interaction between the financial and the public sector in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Drawing on on-line sources, documents, and interviews with key actors in the three cases, we adopt a cross-disciplinary perspective by applying the lens of collective action theory to identify the role of interests, resources, and governance in the emergence of national e-ID solutions. Findings show that different governance solutions can emerge as the result of the convergence of interests and of interdependency of resources between the actors over time. We contribute to research on financialization and IT by proposing a dialectic process model and identifying five mechanisms that drive the process forward.
