Abstract

With the in-depth application of digital technology in government governance toward integration and in-depth development, government digital transformation has flourished in practice and research, which characterized by digitalization, networking and intelligentization, the digital transformation of government develops vigorously in practice and research. However, the current academic interpretation of the connotation and logic of the government’s digital transformation is mostly from the perspective of empirical research, and lacks analysis of the theoretical logic behind it. Therefore, guided by the theory of sociotechnical system, this paper constructs the theoretical logic of government digital transformation on the basis of putting forward the research framework of general digital transformation, and points out that government digital transformation is the result of the intersection of government operation value and goal and general digital transformation logic, so as to enrich the theoretical connotation of government digital transformation.

Highlights

  • With the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, the new generation of information technology, represented by big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and 5G, is changing rapidly

  • Government digital transformation is deeply rooted in technology, innovation, culture, organizational practice and strategy, which leads scholars and organizations in different regions and fields to analyze government digital transformation from the empirical level rather than the theoretical logic

  • How should we understand the connotation and logic of government digital transformation from the theoretical perspective? Guided by the theory of sociotechnical systems, this article first builds a general digital transformation research framework, and combines the value and goals of government operations to propose a logical framework for government digital transformation

Summary

Introduction

With the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, the new generation of information technology, represented by big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and 5G, is changing rapidly They accelerate the integration and innovation of information technology and various fields and industries of society, and promote the arrival of the digital economy era, which is interconnected, data-driven, and intelligence-led, the wave of digital transformation is coming. As the "top priority" of digital transformation, government digital transformation shows vigorous vitality and great development potential It has become a common strategic choice for many countries to realize the modernization of government governance, improve the level of economic development, and enhance citizen participation and social innovation [1]. What needs to be emphasized is that as an open proposition in the process of development, this paper does not strive to form a general definition with general consensus, but aims to break through the limitations of the current literature which focuses more on the practical level and relatively ignores the theoretical logic behind the government digital transformation, so as to provide theoretical support for the research and development of government digital transformation
