Usage of Multi-criteria Evaluation Methods of Alternatives in E-government Evaluation

Original language description

E-government is a significant trend of public administration modernization and one of the important targets of European Information Policy. It is also significantly promoted by the strategic documents and practice of European member countries, as well the Czech Republic (CR). The article deals with the evaluation of the state of e-government in the European Union (EU) countries. Evaluation of the state of e-government is necessary for the future implementation of actions and measures in this field across EU countries. The paper focuses on the usage of methods of multi-criteria evaluation of alternatives - TOPSIS (The Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) and WSA (Weighted Sum Approach). TOPSIS and WSA methods were used to the comparison of current state of e-government in the EU countries and to the evaluation of the position of the CR. Methods of multi-criteria evaluation of alternatives are the multi-criteria decision methods used in operations research. The purpose of these methods is to provide the complete ranking of the alternatives starting from the best towards the worst one. In this research, there was selected the final list of alternatives (monitored countries EU-28) and criteria (9 indicators of e-government). The research was based on data set across multiple data sources. These were mainly study of 2014 "eGovernment Benchmark", data processed by Eurostat and data managed by the UN from 2013. The evaluated data described in this paper and outputs of the research show the state of e-government in EU countries in the year 2013. The purpose of this paper is the determination of the state of e-government in the Czech Republic in an international comparison and the proposal of appropriate actions to improve the situation, based on experiences in other EU countries.
