TY - JOUR A1 - Bruggemeier, M. A1 - Dovifat, A. A1 - Kubisch, D. T1 - Micropolitical innovation arenas as a tool for analyzing innovation processes in the context of electronic government N2 - E-Government requires technical and organizational innovation. Research has already shown that the respective innovation process is complex and contingent upon specific organizational structures. Managing such innovation processes successfully is difficult. Drawing on assumptions of micropolitical behavior, a framework of innovation arenas is proposed. It supports the analysis of ongoing E-Government projects as well as the ex post investigation of successful or failed projects. Testing this framework in case studies already demonstrates its usefulness for individual actors making strategic choices about change management. Furthermore, the results indicate that many commonly held assumptions about successful change management have to be reconsidered Y1 - 2005 SN - 0937-6429 ER -
