Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 21 page paper looks at a scenario where a local government is considering the introduction an IT strategy to encourage more citizen participation in local government. The paper is written in 4 parts. The first part fop the paper looks at three potential methods of enquiry that could be used to assess the proposed strategy and methods of implementation. The second part of the paper conducts a PESTEL analysis to look at the political, economic, social, technological, environment and legal influences that are present. The third paper of the paper uses an impact assessment approach to determine the impact that the strategy may have. The last part of the paper uses the former section in order to identify the key issues in examining the strategy and potential implementation. The bibliography cites 20 sources.

efficiency, transparency and the potential to ensure increased participation of the electorate in governing processes. When a local government wants to implement an IT strategy aligned with e-government there will
be a number of choices involved for the different priorities. In this paper we will look at issues that pertain to the way that strategy is implemented, this involves looking
at the potential systems of enquiry, identifying issues that will impact on the decision and implementation, and assessing the consequences of the proposed strategy and a consideration of the key
issues proposals. Task 1 - Methods of Enquiry There are numerous methods of enquiry that can be applied to assessing the proposal to help determine the optimum implementation methods.
This section will look at three methods of enquiry; analytical-deductive, soft systems methodology and mixed methods research. Analytical-deductive, also known as synthetic research is a logical approach to research and
enquiry; it assumes that the world is a logical place and that for any question there is likely to be a single truth or a single right answer (Mitroff and
Linstone, 1993). The system has been widely used and is the basis of modern education (Mitroff and Linstone, 1993). This approach requires the research to develop which takes all
of the potential factors into account; dependant and interdependent influences as well as the subject and the extraneous (Seliger et al, 1989). There is the benefit of a logical
and easy to understand, if potentially complex approach to the research and it has been found that the system has been very successful in science and engineering research (Hemphill, 1993).
However, when it is applied to area which include human issues there is a greater potential for the world to fail to behave in line with expected formulas, and to
