abstract This presentation examines e-governance research. It starts by establishing a definition for e-governance based on major conceptualizations. The inter-disciplinary nature of the e-governance is discussed with the view to capture the inherent requirements for an effective e-governance research strategy. Concrete research areas are identified. The state of e-governance research is provided based on a typology for research types (Descriptive, Philosophical, Theoretical, Theory Generating and Theory Testing) and results from a recent survey. Major conferences on e-governance and scholarly journals are identified. The roles of government, academia, industry and international organizations in advancing e-governance research are discussed. Major barriers as well as possible solutions to developing a viable research agenda are finally discussed.
