This book was released on 2001-06-01 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In fiscal year 1994, the federal government obligated more than $23.5 billion towards information technology (IT) products and services, which represents about five percent of its total discretionary spending. The Clinger- Cohen Act of 1996 was enacted by the U.S. Congress to help prevent wasteful government spending on IT projects by mandating that federal agencies develop a process to manage their IT projects as investments, including methods to continuously improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their management processes. The goal of this study was to develop a model to assess a government agency's IT management processes, specifically the selection, control, and evaluation of IT investments. In order to accomplish this, various General Accounting Office (GAO) reports were reviewed to determine the best practices being used to manage IT investments. Also, model was developed that can be applied to an agency that already has some IT management processes in place. The major finding was that, while the critical processes and attributes identified by GAO are helpful in implementing improvements to an agency's processes, each individual agency needs to carefully assess the environment in which it operates and choose the management tools and techniques that best fit the agency's vision and mission and its specific environment.

Book excerpt: If managed wisely, investments in information technology (IT) can enrich people's lives and improve organizational performance. For example, during the last decade the Internet has matured from being a technical novelty to a national resource where citizens can visit the Library of Congress or file their tax returns. Some organizations have realized substantial improvements in processing data and information by switching from centralized mainframe computing to decentralized personal computers linked by local area networks. The ability of software applications to locate and correlate relevant data in a data warehouse permits organizations to discover unknown fiscal or physical resource relationships and thus provide appropriate assistance where there had been none. The Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996' was enacted to address many of the problems related to federal IT management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines trends and challenges in research on IT governance in public organizations, reporting innovative research and new insights in the theories, models and practices within the area. As we noticed, IT governance plays an important role in generating value from organization’s IT investments. However there are different challenges for researchers in studying IT governance in public organizations due to the differences between political, administrative, and practices in these organizations. The first section of the book looks at Management issues, including an introduction to IT governance in public organizations; a systematic review of IT alignment research in public organizations; the role of middle managers in aligning strategy and IT in public service organizations; and an analysis of alignment and governance with regard to IT-related policy decisions. The second section examines Modelling, including a consideration of the challenges faced by public administration; a discussion of a framework for IT governance implementation suitable to improve alignment and communication between stakeholders of IT services; the design and implementation of IT architecture; and the adoption of enterprise architecture in public organizations. Finally, section three presents Case Studies, including IT governance in the context of e-government strategy implementation in the Caribbean; the relationship of IT organizational structure and IT governance performance in the IT department of a public research and education organization in a developing country; the relationship between organizational ambidexterity and IT governance through a study of the Swedish Tax Authorities; and the role of institutional logics in IT project activities and interactions in a large Swedish hospital.

Download or read book Public Investment Management Reference Guide written by Jay-Hyung Kim and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Public Investment Management (PIM) Reference Guide aims to convey country experiences and good international practices as a basis for decisions on how to address a country-specific PIM reform agenda. The country references are drawn largely from previous diagnostics and technical assistance reports of the World Bank. The application of country diagnostics and assessments has revealed a need to address the following issues when undertaking a country reform in PIM: • Clarification of the definition and scope of public investment and public investment management • Establishment of a sound legal, regulatory, and institutional setting for PIM, making sure it is linked to the budget process • Allocation of roles and responsibilities for key players in PIM across government • Strengthening of guidance on project preappraisal, appraisal, and selection-prioritization procedures and deepening of project appraisal methodologies • Integration of strategic planning, project appraisal-selection, and capital budgeting • Management of multiyear capital budget allocations and commitments • Efforts to address effective implementation, procurement, and monitoring of projects • Strengthening of asset management and ex post evaluation • Integration of PIM and public-private partnership (PPP) in a unified framework • Rationalization and prioritization of the existing PIM project portfolio • Development of a PIM database and information technology in the form of a PIM information system. The PIM Reference Guide does not seek to provide definitive answers or standard guidance for the common PIM issues facing countries. Nor does it seek to provide a detailed template for replication across countries: this would be impossible given the diversity of country situations. Instead, each chapter begins with an overview of the specific reform issue, lists approaches and experiences from different countries, and summarizes the references and good practices to be considered in designing country-specific reform actions.
