Analysis of the Status of E-Government in Iran Based on the SWOT Matrix

Abstract

Today, the increasing growth of information and communication technologies has provided governments with the opportunity to pave the way for providing better services to citizens through fundamental changes in their bodies. Therefore, the establishment of e-government has been underway in various countries for more than a decade. It has been claimed that the main goal of establishing e-government is to improve the method, method and process of carrying out administrative affairs and reduce bureaucracy, unnecessary administrative formalities and ultimately reduce corruption. This article, using a descriptive-analytical method from library sources, has analyzed the status of e-government in Iran based on the SWOT matrix. The data shows that this matrix provides us with factors, strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats in two parts: external and internal factors and what is happening in the direction of management, and as a map, it helps e-government administrators to reach the final destination, so that by adopting dynamic management, they can turn threats into opportunities, eliminate weaknesses, strengthen previous strengths and create new ones.
