Applying Business Process Change (BPC) to Implement Multi-agency Collaboration: The Case of the Greek Public Administration

A great number of recent studies in the e-government area focus on investigating how technology-induced changes in the public sector connect with the New Public Management (NPM) reform, envisioned by many politicians. Researchers in this field contend that e-government denotes a structural and proce...
