Increase the Innovation Dynamics by Information and Communication Technology (ICT): Examples of E-Government

Abstract:

Based on examples of the application of e-government, this paper aims to provide a theoretical study on how the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) helps to increase the innovation dynamics of the regional systems. According to the literature review, we understand the innovation dynamic of a regional system is generated from the interplay of the knowledge production between different actors such as government, university and industry. ICT can be viewed as the stimulus of facilitating the e-government to develop the innovation dynamics. Accordingly, some examples of the application of e-governments around the world will be provided for a deep understanding the link between ICT and innovation dynamics.
