DOWNLOAD EBOOKInformation and Communication Technologies hold great potential in facilitating public services; however, one of the main problems in applying ICT systems successfully lies in usersÂ’ behavior. Before ICT can be fully assimilated into the public domain, it will first be necessary to successfully conciliate users to their adoption.
