Jonna Järveläinen, Eija Koskivaara, Päivi Pihlaja, Hannu Salmela, Jarmo Tähkäpää, Timo Kestilä, Jarmo Kinos, Value-Creating E-Government Business Models for Early Childhood Education in Finland. International Journal of Electronic Government research 3(3), 72–86, 2007.

Abstract:

In many cases, e-government is considered to be a name for transforming informative public services into electronic mode, although the focus of e-government should be to create value for citizens as well as public organizations. In this paper, we apply Amit and Zott’s (2001) e-business value creation methods into e-government environment, namely into early childhood education context in Finland. The objective of the collaborative action research study was to find out what kind of business models in e-government would create value for citizens. The methodological result based on the collaborative nature of the study is a method for analyzing and generating business models. The Amit & Zott’s framework seems to be applicable also into e-government environment, and we were able to draw many viable business models for early childhood education, which forms the practical contribution of the study.
