Notes:
According to the Centre for International Development at Harvard University, Taiwan is rated “excellent” in Internet preparedness. The World Markets research Centre has agreed with this assessment, observing that Taiwan government institutions provide top online services. The Centre for Public Policy at Brown University in a report Global E-Government has ranked Taiwan in the top five since 2002. In 2008, Taiwan ranked no.2 after South Korea. This author has worked in the Taiwan e-government office and saw first seriously the government of ROC takes matter relating to e-government. It is all aimed at maintaining Taiwan’s competitive edge and giving the citizens the best.
Taiwan one of the four tigers of Asia, the others are Hong Kong, Korea and Singapore. It is worthy to note that these four tigers are also in the forefront of the e-government leading countries.
Dr. Sung, Joo Park is an e-government expert and Professor at the Korean Advanced Institute for science and Technology- Conversation took place on November, 2008.
