Abstract

This research paper reviews existing literature of two domains, Electronic Government (e-Government) and Economic Growth. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), Technology Acceptance Models (TAM), and Neoclassical theory are all discussed to help develop an integrated view of both domains. More specifically, in terms of theory, it is hoped that this paper may extend its explanatory power beyond current limits. This paper presents, for the benefit of decision makers, a practical framework held together by a logical cohesion between the units of analysis, structures, and processes. This framework is derived from the basic theories and models and latest research done in these fields. It is found that the key variable linking e-Government portals to the economic growth is Competitiveness. In this conception, competitiveness becomes the mediator through which the antecedent variable of e-government leads to a change in the consequent variable of economic growth. Simply put, e-government may stimulate economic growth via enhancing the competitiveness of economic actors. Hence, decision makers in different governmental bodies, may use this integrated framework as a tool to promote technology-based economic growth in the context of competitiveness goals
