“…In their research, Luna-Reyes et al [32] identify different elements that influence public value creation: organizational factors and technologies directly affect public value creation, while institutional arrangements impact on technologies. Picazo-Vela et al [33] address the same theme from another perspective, i.e. the impact of publicprivate and public-public collaborations on public value creation in the e-Government context.…”

“…When considering the e-Government level of domain, the publications discuss mostly ( 16) the scenario of central public organizations [22,26,27,29,30,32,33,36,44] and just six articles present the local level [25,31,45,48], plus one that generally addresses the topic of smart cities [49].…”

“…Internal conditions relate, for example, to strategic decisions, such as the definition of a clear decision making process [30,41,54], project's goal [32] or digital business strategies [44]. Moreover the integration and the dialogue between departments within the public organization could improve e-Government projects [55], just as the collaborative behaviours of employees [44] and the enhancement of collaboration with other organizations, whether they are public, private or community based [30,32,33,44].…”

Scholars and practitioners attention to the benefits enhanced by e-Government projects is progressively increasing. These transformations generated and are continuously generating new challenges for managing public organizations which cannot focus only on administrative efficiency but have to embrace a broader set of values. In this scenario, the adoption of digital technologies within governments could potentially have disrupting effects, both positive and negative. However, despite the general hype, few public organizations have actually realised all the potential associated with the adoption of digital technologies as values enablers: this study aims to investigate the topic by examining how it has evolved throughout the years and organizing the state-of-the-art of the scientific literature on public values creation through e-Government projects. Based on the literature review, we provide a conceptual framework for understanding the factors that are related and influence e-Government implementation and its benefits. Findings suggest that before considering the implementation of an e-Government project, and thus the achievement of specific benefits, a set of different variables should be addressed.

“…Resources per se are not sufficient to create innovations in public administrations. They remain potential sources of value if not sustained by organizational processes (Feldman and Quick, 2009; Picazo-Vela et al , 2018) and institutional reforms (Pina et al , 2010). Skilful knowledge management and learning processes appear as key capabilities to develop innovation in public administrations.…”

Purpose Information technology (IT) constitutes an important driver for innovation in the public sector. However, taking advantage of IT to innovate requires the existence of other organizational and institutional capabilities within the public organization. Using absorptive capability theory, the purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between principles for IT governance and dynamic capabilities across semi-urban (between 10,000 and 149,000 inhabitants), urban (between 150,000 and 600,000 inhabitants) and metropolitan (more than 600,000 inhabitants ) municipal governments in Mexico. Design/methodology/approach This study reports on three workshops involving 34 chief information officers (CIOs) from semi-urban, urban and metropolitan municipalities. The workshop agenda included a series of brainstorming exercises to discuss – among other topics – the capabilities required for digital government innovation. The capabilities collected during the workshops were codified by the authors based on their relationship to the six IT governance standardized principles and the four dynamic capabilities identified in the literature. The authors used descriptive and correlation analyses to show the importance of governance principles and dynamic capabilities for innovation, as well as the relationships between those two dimensions, in each type of municipality. Findings This study shows that specific IT governance principles may enhance innovation capabilities linked with knowledge acquisition, assimilation, transformation and exploitation. Moreover, the ways in which IT governance principles support innovation are linked to size, resources and complexity of the local government. In conclusion, this study discusses the primary IT policy implications to improve possibilities to innovate in the public sector. Originality/value Although researchers and practitioners agree that following principles of good governance may enhance performance and innovation in the provision of public services, the link between the principles of IT governance and capabilities to spur innovation has not yet been fully established in the literature. Thus, in this study, empirical evidence of this linkage is provided.

“…Nevertheless, lab members' parent organizations are relevant, as lab members are expected to give feedback and communicate labs' results accordingly (Romero Frías and Machado 2018;Olejniczak et al 2020). Despite the labs' unorthodox nature, which may challenge traditional forms and means of bureaucratic decision making, their internal dynamics and effects on policy design as novel collaborative arrangements are rarely assessed when focusing on their role in the digital transformation of the public sector (see Williamson 2015b;Picazo-Vela et al 2018). However, digitalization labs may show features that differ from those more traditional policy labs, because they focus on issues emerging from the digital transformation of public sectors.…”

Policy labs as arenas for boundary spanning: inside the digital transformation in Germany

The recently adopted German Online Access Act triggered the creation of digitalization labs for designing digital services, bringing together federal, state, and local authorities; end-users; and private-sector actors. These labs provide opportunities for boundary spanning due to organizational field and lab features. Our comparative case studies on three digitalization labs show variations in boundary spanning and reveal lab members de-coupling from their parent organizations to a varying extent. We have concluded labs offer boundary spanning that supports safeguarding the legitimacy of innovative policy designs but also raise concerns over public accountability.
