Beyond the Online Transaction: Enhancement of Citizen Participation via the Web in Ontario Provincial Government

Abstract
Among North American state and provincial governments, there are only a handful of chief executives who make the most of the Internet as a tool for gaining citizen input on policy questions and disseminating a clear and well-crafted agenda. Dalton McGuinty, the Premier of Ontario since 2003, was the first to push the Web beyond conventional e-government functions such as tax or fee payment, the filing applications for programs, and report dissemination, into a realm of interactive facilitation of democratic governance. This chapter describes the context of Ontario politics and establishment of common e-government techniques before McGuinty became his government’s leader, the responsive digital strategies that he adopted to treat Ontario’s situation as he came to office, and an assessment of these strategies five years into his leadership of this diverse province.

The Sign-Meaning Chain and its Implications for the Organization
Tendency founded by Frederick W. Taylor based on the fact that the workman best suited to actually doing the work is incapable of fully understanding this science, without the guidance and help of those who are working with him or over him, either through lack of education or through insufficient mental capacity. To fix that situation, it should be necessary that there shall be a far more equal division of the responsibility between the management and the workmen.

A Foucauldian Perspective on Using the Transparency Framework in Learning and Teaching (TILT)
Refers to a theory of management proposed by Taylor (1947), which creates two groups, the labor and management, where management directs all the tasks of the labor. To ensure the labor does not deviate, the whole labor process is evaluated under the system of piece rates, judging the workers’ performance in accordance with quantity of output produced. There is a clear separation of conception and execution activities.

Scientific management, also known as Taylorism, is a management theory developed by Frederick Winslow Taylor in the early 20th century. It emphasizes the systematic analysis and optimization of work processes to improve efficiency and productivity. Scientific management involves the application of scientific principles to tasks, time and motion studies, and the standardization of work methods (OpenAI, 2023 AU26: The in-text citation "OpenAI, 2023" is not in the reference list.
