Περίληψη:
Electronic commerce is the most visible manifestation yet of the
emerging net economy and the strongest argument about the globalization
of the markets. It is, therefore, obvious why the role of the government
in the digital age is directly, linked to the necessary policies and
legislation needed to boost e-commerce. This paper claims that an
e-government is much more than a law-maker to enable e-commerce. Without
using political a,ld social science disciplines to envision a new reason
of existence for e-governments, the paper establishes a vision and a
step-wise approach for governments which want to address the
requirements posed by the their ‘customers’ - citizens and businesses -
and prepare themselves for the unpredictable new world of the digital
age.
