Abstract

The aim of this paper is to address the contribution of collaborative governance to digital government performance by adequately assessing the determinants of collaboration from the perspective of organisation capability in managing excessive innovation problems. Transformation is complex, requires a long change process and has specific implications for how governments collaborate and innovate to improve the quality of work performance and the value of public service. The central hypothesis of this work is that collaborative governance could improve performance and promote collaborative digital innovation in a government context. This paper explores the multiple influencing factors including the competency of an institution, innovation through dynamic capability, collaborative leadership, co-creation strategy and digital platform capability. Thus, bringing forward organisation adaptation and IT management perspectives on the relationship between collaborative governance and digital government performance.
