First Steps by the G20 Towards the Implementation of the Roadmap Adopted 7 April 2017 in Düsseldorf Berlin, 27 November 2017 First steps by the G20 towards the Implementation of the Roadmap Adopted 7 April 2017 in Düsseldorf 1. Improve world-wide access, adoption and effective use of digital technologies for all Country: Germany Responsibility: Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy Initiative: The Digital Strategy 2025 programme The Digital Strategy 2025 programme demonstrates how the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy has been setting priorities in recent years, developing capabilities and using new tools to make a digitised Germany possi- ble. It outlines areas that require immediate action. The strategy focuses on ten steps toward the future: (1) creating a gigabit optical fibre network for Germany by 2025, (2) assisting start-ups and encouraging cooperation between young companies and established companies, (3) creating a regulatory framework for more investment and innovation, (4) encouraging “smart networks” in key commercial infrastructure areas of our economy, (5) strengthening data security and developing informational autonomy, (6) enabling new business models for SMEs, the skilled craft sector and ser- vices, (7) utilising Industry 4.0 to modernise Germany as a production location, (8) creating excellence in digital tech- nology research, development and innovation, (9) introducing digital education to all phases of life, and (10) creating a Digital Agency as a modern centre of excellence. The recommendations are intended not only to enable the German economy to respond to new challenges but also to ensure its leading position both in quality and technology for years to come, by combining traditional competitive advantages with the newest technology, modern methods and specific support programmes. In particular, its objective is to demonstrate that the era of isolated solutions must come to an end. Only by working across organisations, in a network, and in a concerted effort as a community and society, will we be able to find and implement answers to questions arising in the immediate future. Businesses, unions, the scientific community, the government and a motivated public are already developing approaches and projects for the digital transformation in Germany – for DE.DIGITAL. However, regarding digital infrastructure, future work opportunities, data security, future-oriented education and the legal framework, it is high time these aspects are addressed together and with goals in mind. This is a decisive imperative of a digital society – and the logical consequence is to create a connected, intergovernmental organisation – a Digital Agency. 1 Country: Argentina Responsibility: Ministry of Modernization/Ministry of Science and Technology/Ministry of Education Initiatives: 1. National Plan for Digital Inclusion (Digital Government) 2. Technology for disability 3. Educ.ar With the objective of boosting digital inclusion in every layer of the society, the government of Argentina has launched 3 main initiatives. Each initiative targets a different population group, traditionally excluded from the digital revolution. 1. National Plan for Digital Inclusion has the purpose of providing the necessary skills, motivation, and confi- dence to use new technologies, this initiative consists of a training program organized into several work streams, including: basic Internet use capabilities development course and professional development oriented courses. Professional development courses are focused on improving employability opportunities in Internet-related jobs. 2. Technology for people with disabilities. One of the goals of the National Program for Social Technologies and Innovation (PROCODAS by its Spanish acronym) is to promote social inclusion for people with disabilities. In accordance with the 2006 Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and through technology devel- opment and implementation, this programs aims at achieving full and effective participation in society, on an equal basis with others. • PROCODAS - call • PROCODAS - program • Technologies for Inclusion 3. School connectivity and digitized management. Using information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve teaching and learning methods, this program provides Internet access to 48,028 public schools along the country, connecting 8 million students. educ.ar The Digital Elementary School program aims to promote digital literacy among children. In order to achieve that, the program trains teachers in the use of ICTs in the classroom at the same time that equips elementary schools with “mobile digital classrooms” (netbooks, wireless router, printer, projector, camera, digital board, etc.). Digital Elementary School Virtual training platform for directors and teachers is oriented to the continuous transformation of the peda- gogical practices of teachers, the virtual training platform offers pedagogical resources and courses related to classroom challenges. Country: Australia Responsibility: Department of Communications and the Arts/Department of Industry, Innovation and Science/ Geoscience Australia Initiatives: 1. The National Broadband Network and the Mobile Black Spot Program 2. Standards Australia participation in ISO and IEC 3. Open Data Cube 4. ANZLIC Foundation Spatial Data Framework 1. The Australian Government is removing barriers to participation in the digital economy by investing in commu- nications infrastructure, through the National Broadband Network (NBN) and Mobile Black Spot Program. Research conducted by the Department of Communications and the Arts in 2016 –17 indicates that for home 2 broadband services the rollout of the NBN is improving choice and reducing prices for regional consumers. The Government’s Mobile Black Spot Program works to expand reliable mobile phone coverage and competition in outer metropolitan, regional and remote communities. 2. The Department of Industry, Innovation and Science supports Standards Australia, our National Standards Body, participating and leading the development and adoption of international standards to improve the interoperability of technology and improve global access and use of technologies for all. 3. Every year, new Earth observation satellites are generating increasingly significant amounts of data with global coverage. The potential of this data for addressing environmental, economic and social challenges, at local, regional and global scales is enormous. However, even today, much of this data is underutilised. The Open Data Cube (ODC) initiative aims to increase the impact of satellite data by providing an open and freely accessible exploitation tool, and to foster a community to develop, sustain, and grow the breadth and depth of applications. The ODC initiative builds on technologies like the Australian Geoscience Data Cube. Geoscience Australia is now implementing the ODC in Australia under the Digital Earth Australia program and is a key partner in the ODC open source development. The ODC solution will support global priority agendas, such as those found in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and the Paris and Sendai Agreements. 4. Foundation spatial data is the authoritative geographic information that underpins, or can add significant value to, any other information; and supports evidence-based decisions across government, industry and the community. The Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) provides a common reference for the assembly and maintenance of Australian and New Zealand foundation-level spatial data in order to serve the widest possible variety of users. It delivers national coverage of the best available, current, authoritative foundation spatial data, which is standar- dised and quality controlled. Geoscience Australia has built FSDF-LINK, an information platform that provides users with access to foundation data and information about its governance, licensing, provenance and future state. Country: Brazil Responsibility: Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communications (MCTIC), acting as coordinator for the entire Federal Government. Initiative: Brazilian Strategy for Digital Transformation The Brazilian Strategy for Digital Transformation recently submitted to public consultation and soon to be officially published, sets forth a set of strategic actions to boost national competitiveness and increase productivity within the next five years. This strategy focuses on nine key areas (or axes) for action. Five of these axes aim at providing an enabling environment for digital transformation, namely: (1) network infrastructure and Internet access, (2) research, development and innovation, (3) confidence and security in the digital environment, (4) education and vocational training, and (5) international issues. A second set of axes are at the core of the digital transformation: (6) a data driven economy, (7) a world of connected devices, (8) new business models and (9) digital transformation of government. For each axis, the strategy establishes a diagnostic of the status quo, a vision for the future, a set of strategic actions that will lead us to digital transformation, and a set of indicators to measure progress in achieving the goals. Country: Canada Responsibility: 1. Treasury Board Secretariat 2. Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada Initiatives: 1. Canadian Open Data Exchange (ODX) 2. Affordable Access 1. The Canadian Open Data Exchange (ODX) is a Public-Private Partnership between the Government of Canada, private sector, academic, and civil society, designed to connect

From the theoretical framework, user behaviour and system quality factors have significant relationships with the adoption of information system (IS). Empirical evidence also shows that satisfaction has a significant moderating effect on the relationship between system quality factors with the adoption of IS. Given the significant impact of behavioural factors of officials in eBidding adoption and role satisfaction on the intention and use of eGovernment system, system managers could introduce key changes in the workplace to increase satisfaction to address the problems of low eBidding adoption among users.

  • Paper Guidelines for the 2010 Eppm Conference
    THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE PERCEPTION AND PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF eBIDDING IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY Thu Anh Nguyen1, Visuth Chovichien2, and Ngoc Thi Bich Tran3 1 Department of Civil Engineering, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand, Tel: +66851 984 750, e-mail: [email protected] 2 Department of Civil Engineering, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand, Tel: +66890 049 175, e-mail: [email protected] 3 Hochiminh City University of Technology, Hochiminh City, Vietnam, Tel: +84983 987 005, e-mail: [email protected] Received Date: January 19, 2012 Abstract eBidding has become a widely used means of awarding contracts and continues to gain in popularity because of its benefits. As an international trend, it provides benefits for all forms of commerce including the construction industry. The eBidding system is expected to reduce corruption in the bidding process and to maximize a project‟s potential for success. However, how to expand the eBidding system poses some challenges, particularly in rural, developing countries. Firstly, this paper aims to analyze some of the current problems with the eBidding process as used in the construction industry. Secondly, the differences between eBidding‟s perceived benefits and its practical application are explored. Finally, the underlying causes of problems with eBidding are studied. This research was conducted using a survey of 200 questionnaires during June and July 2011 in Vietnam. Statistical methods and factor analysis were used to analyze the results. From the results, eBidding is encountering a number of problems that can be classified into three groups related to governmental involvement, systemic issues and lack of standardization, and corporate officers and support staff in construction industry.
