The Rhetoric of eGovernment Management and the Reality of eGovernment Work - The Swedish Action plan for eGovernment Considered

Abstract

In this article two different analytical aspects of organisational life, the rhetoric of management and the reality of work are used as a context for discussing some implications of the Swedish action plan for eGovernment. Through the lens of these dimensions it becomes obvious that the invisible values within the Swedish action plan for eGovernment are embedded in the rhetoric of management and visible in the reality of work.
