E-government in the informational economy

In the end of the 20th century the governments of many countries faced the necessity of reforming the classical models of the government which appeared inconsistent with the emerging informatization of the society. Experts of the World Bank recognize the following problems to be common for the majority of the countries: (1) growth of cumulative employment and expenses on wages in public sector; (2) inefficiency of monetary stimulus, weak work motivation of state employees; (3) protectionism, corruption and low level of public trust to officials; (4) Inability of the state machinery to react to changes of public priorities; (5) an operational inefficiency of a state machinery and poor quality of the state services; (6) shortage of qualified personnel in regions with the limited human resources.
