- Many countries are moving towards eGovernment for ensuring higher efficiency, transparency and accountability in the public administration. Accountability, the obligation to justify one’s conduct, has been widely discussed in the social, public and political spheres. However, it is not so well understood how and to what extent Government’s accountability is affected with the transformation to eGovernment. This paper focuses on this aspect by means of literature review and analyzing indexes related to eGovernment and the factors associated with accountability available during the period 2005 -2010. The findings show that the relationship between accountability and eGovernment among the countries as whole is not straightforward as it depends on the characteristics of the individual governance. However, evidence in general shows that strong accountability, which is measured here through a level of integrity, influences the government to adopt eGovernment as it helps to open up the government and its policy process to its citizens and other stakeholders.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The European Union recently launched an innovative participatory mechanism allowing its citizens across Europe get together and set the agenda for policy-making in Brussels. The tool - the European Citizens' Initiative - was labelled as "most direct and digital" ever in the history of European democratic experimentation as it made it possible to collect signatures (of which it is required not less than 1 million) in favour of an initiative via the internet (e-collection). Launched on I April 2012 the ECI was met with major enthusiasm in Brussels, but soon stumbled over serious difficulties as the organisers on the ground were unable to set up their online collection systems. The present paper looks into this ICT-related crisis from the point of reference of e-democracy theory based on the findings of a qualitative case-study. As a deliverable, it offers an understanding of factors and stakeholder rationales which shaped the design and implementation of the digital dimension of the ECI (iECI). (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.

Applying design science approach in ICT4D research : mobile phone based agriculture market information service (AMIS) in Bangladesh

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper describes the characteristics and scope of Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) and Design Science Research (DSR), and subsequently presents findings from a case study regard-ing how the call for future research, practical and methodological, on IS in gen-eral and ICT4D in particular can be well addressed with DSR. The paper con-tributes to the domain of design research knowledge as it critically discusses as well as exemplifies the use of DSR in an interpretive research perspective that aims at solving some socio-economic problems, which is significantly lacking in contemporary research. The major argument here is that DSR can be fruitfully used in ICT4D research as long as the goal of ICT4D research is to innovate or design something new. Furthermore, due to the stage-gate model nature of DSR, its comprehensive use in ICT4D needs an integrated research approach with well-coordinated activities throughout the development process.

Mobility in the wild social aspects of mobile work : a framework for further research and design
- 1999
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We report ongoing research in search of characteristics of mobile work and use of mobile ICT (information and communication technologies) to support such work. Based on an empirical investigation of the work of mobile service technicians at Telia Nära, we outline five areas of social interaction where mobility changes fundamental aspects of the work.
