Public Administration in the Information Age: Towards an Informatised Bureaucracy

Journal Name:

Publication Year:

Abstract (2. Language): 
This article deals with the question of how the information and communications technology revolution would affect government and public administration of the near-future. It is argued that development of information revolution would alter the nature of bureaucracy. The traditional - hierarchical public bureaucracy is being replaced by the informatised bureaucracy. 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.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu makale bilgi ve haberleşme devriminin devlet ve kamu yönetimi üzerine etkilerini konu almaktadır. Bilgi devrimi, bürokrasinin doğasını değiştirmekte ve gele-neksel-hiyerarşik bürokrasi yerini 'Bilgiselleştirilmiş Bürokrasi'ye bırakmaktadır. Bu yönelimin dört önemli göstergesi bulunmaktadır: Yeni bürokratik elitlerin ortaya çıkı¬şı, bilgi teknolojileri yardımıyle örgütsel yeniden yapılanma, değişen kamu özel sektör ilişkileri ve hiyerarşiden şebeke tipi örgütlere geçiş eğilimi.
