ABSTRACT
This theory-building effort is designed to attract people with an interest in digital government evolution by using formal modeling in the social sciences. By using the system dynamics approach in a group setting, the main drivers of digital government organizational and technological sophistication are explored and formally articulated in a causal structure. The results are embodied in a formal model that can be mathematically characterized to conduct numerical simulations.
