IT DEVELOPMENTS AND THE MANNER IN WHICH PUBLIC SECTOR ORGANIZATIONS FUNCTION
Abstract
Our current IT innovations will alter the way government agencies operate. The relationship between public administration education and new forms of governance, such as e-government, is thus something to consider. Public administration education must be updated to reflect the structure of future governments. The paper discusses a number of key topics that are connected to the topic. Evolving aspects start to appear in public management in this century of information and information technology. Also, numerous books analyse the needed change in public administration. And finally, the curricula used nowadays for public administration education will have take into account these new evolutions. And third, these new developments will need to be accounted for in the curricula utilized today for public administration education. To ensure the connection between government and public administration education, the current curriculum must undergo at least a few major adjustments as a result of the evolving aspects of public management in the information society. Current curriculum urgently need to be updated to meet the needs of emerging concerns, and decision-makers need to learn more about government in order to make the necessary changes to the way the government operates. Medical crisis managed to the best of the abilities for an issue unprecedented as magnitude and economic and social impact - economic and administrative system has been saved by digital tools and platforms. A non representative sample was used in order to analyse the behaviour of more than 55 public institutions. The aim was to identify common patterns in approaching challences induced by the citizens expectations in relation with public system. Additionally, there is need for improvement in how public decision-makers view and relate to IT tools. As long as professionals and academics analyze and pinpoint a route for these developing issues in the public administration education, these goals can be achieved.
