Abstract

Bu makale bilgi ve haberleşme devriminin devlet ve kamu yönetimi üzerine etkilerini konu almaktadır. Bilgi devrimi, bürokrasinin doğasını değiştirmekte ve geleneksel-hiyerarşik bürokrasi yerini 'Bilgiselleştirilmiş Bürokrasi'ye bırakmaktadır. Bu yönelimin dört önemli göstergesi bulunmaktadır: Yeni bürokratik elitlerin ortaya çıkışı, bilgi teknolojileri yardımıyle örgütsel yeniden yapılanma, değişen kamu özel sektör ilişkileri ve hiyerarşiden şebeke tipi örgütlere geçiş eğilimi.

Four main indicators of this trend are identified: rise of new elites, IT-led institutional restructuring, changing public and private sector relations through IT-led innovations, and the trend of a move from hierarchies to networks
