The course is a fundamental, comprehensive, and forward-looking course on electronic government, belonging to the interdisciplinary field, encompassing elements from both social sciences such as social governance and business environment, and engineering disciplines such as big data and information systems. The aim is to cultivate students as interdisciplinary talents who understand both management and technology.
Starting from the background concepts and development process of electronic government, the course outlines the significant changes in the development of electronic government both domestically and internationally. It then delves into the analysis, design, development, implementation, and process optimization of electronic government, helping students understand the construction and management logic of electronic government as a special type of management information system. Once students have a preliminary grasp of the basic knowledge of electronic government, the course focuses on three key government activities: public participation, grassroots governance, and business environment, providing specific insights into electronic government and government management innovation, along with offering typical practical cases. Subsequently, it introduces big data, algorithms, artificial intelligence, elaborating on the application process of these new technologies in electronic government and exploring their impact on government administrative behavior and decision-making. Following this, it provides a detailed explanation of the performance evaluation methods and content of electronic government both domestically and internationally. Finally, by analyzing current excellent journal papers, the course elucidates the research frontier of electronic government for students.
