Overheids- en burgertoezicht hebben steeds naast elkaar bestaan en zijn op verschillende manieren met elkaar vervlochten. Interessant aan deze tijd is echter dat praktijken van zowel onder toezicht gestelden als van toezichthouders steeds transparanter worden. Op het Internet kunnen burgers allerlei informatie krijgen over de kwaliteit van scholen, ziekenhuizen, financiële instellingen en supermarkten. Kunnen overheids- en burgertoezicht met elkaar worden verbonden? Zijn er mogelijkheden voor co-creatie van toezicht? Wat zijn daarbij de voor- en nadelen? Wat zijn de kansen en risico’s? http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/19211/ 2010-03-01T00:00:00Z This paper challenges the view that strategies for using Web 2.0 should primarily be based upon technological characteristics. The value of the organizational strategic alignment approach for developing specific operational Web 2.0 strategies for government organizations is explored both theoretically and empirically. On the basis of a review of the literature we conclude that there are no a priori reasons why the idea of a fit between IT strategy and business strategic orientation cannot be applied to the development of operational Web 2.0 strategies for government organizations. The empirical exploration based on intervention research at the Dutch Department of Education results in the identification of five configurations: organizational transparency, organizational interactions, policy sector transparency, policy sector interactions and process and policy innovation. These configurations are logically consistent with the strategic orientations of the three directorates of the Department of Education. This overview does not pretend to be exhaustive but validates the idea that an alignment approach leads to differences in operational strategies. The configuration approach provides organizations with useful a starting point for developing their Web 2.0 strategies. http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/1762/ 2004-10-19T00:00:00Z Session 5: Knowledge society http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/628/ 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Why do workers within organizations, or organizations in a network share information and knowledge? This question reverses the logic in some of the knowledge management literature, which addresses impediments and problems in information and knowledge sharing. According to property rights theory, information sharing can be explained in terms of self-interest, maximizing behavior, indispensability of groups and complementarity of assets. Based on this line of reasoning and on empirical evidence presented in this paper, we conclude that the ownership structure of information and knowledge systems matters. In building knowledge management systems, developers should take into account that the intuitive wisdom, indicating that central control is better control, should be interpreted with great caution.
