Innovations in E-Government

In <B>Innovations in E-Government</B> Simon Hakim Erwin A. Blackstone and Michael L. Bognanno make the case that E-government is expected to make middle management of lesser value and flatten the pyramid of management in government. Improved communications measurability of output and the greater accountability of workers will reduce the necessary level of worker supervision and reduce the need for middle management. In turn decisions by top management become more transparent and their accountability will also rise. Thus as a result of improved technology government could become leaner. Workers will be more empowered efficient and accountable.
