Fundamentals and Building Blocks of Digital Transformation in Public Administration
The digital transformation of large parts of our society is irreversible. The concept of Public Administration 4.0 extends the principles of Industry 4.0 to the services provided by the federal government, the Länder and local authorities.
Simply transferring existing administrative procedures to new technologies will not be sufficient. In the future, a digital city will require different administrative and communication structures, particularly in light of developments in artificial intelligence.
This book provides a clear account of the underlying causes, necessary changes and legal foundations of digitalisation in local e-government. The concepts of Smart City, Smart County and Smart Region illustrate the long-term objective.
It also presents the technological requirements, organisational processes and key areas of action in e-government, using numerous practical examples.
Municipal Enterprise Management: Governance and Controlling (2018)
Original: Kommunales Beteiligungsmanagement und –controlling
Local authorities are increasingly transferring their responsibilities to municipally owned companies and other affiliated entities. This raises new questions about how a city should be governed and managed as a whole.
The concept of the “municipal group” requires comprehensive management and control instruments that encompass both the core administration and its affiliated entities.
In addition to explaining the fundamentals of municipal public enterprise management, this book examines various management and controlling concepts. These are explored in greater depth through practical examples from two cities and one district.
