Building and Evaluating Classification Framework of Critical Success Factors for e-Government Adoption.

This research focuses on the critical success factors of e-government. Its purpose is to propose and assess a classification framework of critical success factors for adopting e-government in Poland. This framework should exemplify the "best practices" for the e-government, especially in the countries of the Visegrád Group and also in other transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe. The paper continues as follows. Firstly, the success factors for adopting e-government in Poland are investigated and the framework of critical success factors is identified. This framework embraces four categories of success factors, and they are: economic, socio-cultural, technological and organizational. All the factors are assigned to three stages: ICT access, ICT competences and ICT use. Secondly, the framework is evaluated and the statistical analysis is conducted. The paper concludes with discussing its findings, limitations, implications, and avenues for further research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
