| Description | In its first part, the paper discusses implications of definitions of modern public administration for current administrative practices. The role of evaluation as an inevitable part of every management activities is emphasized here. The issue of evaluation is further discussed in relation to the phenomenon of e-government in the second part of the paper which focuses on selected foreign and Czech approaches to evaluation of public administration electronization. The aim of the paper is to introduce visible challenges of evaluation approaches which contradict to integrated managerial approach. Such approach is necessary because of intersectoral features and the complexity of electronic public administration. The holistic approach is more heard than realized today. It is not only the case of the Czech Republic where higher level of mutual integration of published results is almost missing. Such situation inevitably questions adaptability of central institutions which are responsible for coordination and thus also for coordinated and integrated evaluation. |
