| Abstract | The focus of this research is in the area of streamlining government operations, this research is important in order to prove that conversion to e-Government is the only way forward for Thailand. In the past government operations tended to be rather inefficient and time consuming, recent developments in technology have provided the medium for government to revamp their operations to improve the efficiency of the services they provide and enhance transparency. This also provides the opportunity for inter-action between various government agencies or organizations through implementing the use of ICT or in this case known as e-Government collaboration. Efficient and effective collaboration among different units of a government could lead to its efficient utilization of resources and better services. This dissertation proposes an approach to improve e-Government collaboration by the employment of document standards and document computation. This dissertation met this research aim through a case study of collaboration in provincial budgeting in Thailand. The key findings produced from this research were that e-Government collaboration is still in its infancy due to the lack of uniformity in the processes that each government unit has applied or implemented. The main conclusions to be drawn from this research were that current approaches to e-Government are deficient because they fail to provide the public with accurate and readily available information on the various operations of the government. This research argues and proves that without the implementation of efficient e-Government services Thailand will lag behind other nations in both the ASEAN and Global arenas. |
