The information revolution based on the decade-long advances in information networking, knowledge communication and knowledge networking are providing knowledge management tools and techniques at all tiers of society development processes. At the same time, the technologies underpinning the development of the knowledge society are intensifying the revolution through development of knowledge chains. Therefore, advances in knowledge communities and social networks deserve special attention from potential research groups that are active in the field of knowledge management and knowledge communications. The AKCSN Book Series also serves as a forum for scholars and practitioners to present theoretical and philosophical discussions on most recent issues relating to the practice of knowledge management. The AKCSN aims to supply academicians, practitioners, and professionals with quality applied research results in the field of electronic/digital government, its applications and impacts on governmental organizations around the world. It is the intention of this book series to effectively and positively provide organizational and managerial directions with greater use and management of electronic/digital government technologies in organizations.
