Abstract:
Over the past decade Governments over the world have been moving to providing services to their
citizens via the web with varying degrees of success. These e-Govemment initiatives have been the
subject of extensive rearch but this paper is concerned with the transitioning from e- Government
to mobile government or m-Government. M-government implementation is still in its very early
stages - indeed a perfect m-govemrnent has not been created yet. Our proposed research aims
to contribute to the field by developing a successful transition methodology from e-govemment
to m-government. Transitiomng from e-qovernment to m-government requires researching the
integration process between e-government and m-government. It requires investigation of all the
pressures that could affect the transition process which differ between nations, such as a nation's
technological and information infrastructure, mobile device penetration and acceptance, public
and social pressures, and security. Finally we must develop an m-govemment initiative followed
by an m-government strategy.
