Public management and technology: How can e-government strategies contribute to greater efficiency in public expenditures?

Abstract

Government concerns about the growth of public expenditures that have increased in recent decades. The challenge of achieving greater efficiency in government spending stems from the growing demand for public services and the limited ability of governments to raise taxes to fund these services. In this context, the present research aims to investigate how e-government strategies can contribute to greater efficiency regarding public expenditures. To achieve this objective, interviews, bibliographical research, and documentary research were carried out, resulting in a proposal that includes e-government strategies with potentially positive effects on the efficiency of public spending.
