I am Sunir Parikh from India. I am an MBA student and currently doing a research on e-governance programs in Eastern Europe as part of our public policy course. I have been researching the topic from quite some time now. However, I have been able to find only generic information viz. initiatives fot citizen services etc. However, I am more interested in the changes that ahve taken place in the way of working of government. I want to know the developments that have taken place in the back-office application as part of the e-governance initiative, specifis systems that have been developed to enhance the working the government employees in eastern europian countries. Can you please tell me from where can I get these information? I am very desperate to get information. Please help me in this. Hope for your quick responce. Thank you. Hi.

It was an experiment supported by an IT model. Only one company was included on it before the military cup, it was Muebles Easton a furniture "privatised" company (expropriated). As Allende's government was "anti-imperialist" (you need to read it as anti USA) french mainframes were acquiried while main country data centers were based on IBM technology Today a number of people that participated on the experiment is still alive, current senator Fernando Flores, Tomas Kohn current company advisor. Also the reader should have clear, Staffor Beer was very close to the left side of the politics and his famous book "Brain of the Firm" was a model on early 70s for company modeling, now is part of the pre-history of business models. Too much complex. Mr Beer died 5 -6 year ago and nobody on the business area wrote a note about him, only few lines on chilean newspapers informing he was one of the leaders of the experiment and of course on the Guardian as he was british.

La mala noticia es que con la "Ley Habilitante" que aprobó la Asamblea Nacional (conformado en su totalidad por chavistas) y que le permite gobernar por decreto durante 18 meses, más los enormes recursos económicos a su disposición, está intentando implementar sus reformas rechazadas por la fuerza. esperamos otro semi-milagro acompañado por algo de racionalidad de la oposición. Te felicito por esta página.
