• The recently published Swedish eGovernment Action Plan stresses that “the need of theuser should always be an important starting-point in the efforts made by administrationsto develop eServices.” But, is that the picture communicated in the action plan? Thisarticle reflects critically on the action plan from a marketing perspective. The discussionfocuses on citizens as consumers of public e-services and argues that benefits from amarket-oriented approach could support organizations in their development of public eservices. Developing online services based on knowledge of citizens’ needs, behaviors,and attitudes presents possibilities for creating customer-oriented services that increaseproductivity while delivering added value for citizens.
