Dr. Rolf Wigand

Wigand and several colleagues from other universities say the goal is to improve taxation and customs systems across EU nations. Their article stems from a $7.5 million European Union-funded research project of more than four years called “Information Technology for Adoption and Intelligent Design for E-Government.” The model requires new public-private partnerships between government and private businesses that enhance security and controls. The model employs intelligent software tools to reduce administrative loads, according to Wigand. 鈥淥ne of the great challenges for European governments is solving the paradox of increasing the security of international trade, while simultaneously reducing overhead for commercial as well as public administrations,鈥 Wigand said. Finding the right balance between control and cost of information gathering is the key to increase competitiveness of European businesses locally, nationally and internationally, he added. 鈥淭o encourage the adoption of these redesigned procedures, a truly collaborative co-design process that creates win-win benefits for all stakeholders, is essential,鈥 Wigand concluded. Wigand wrote 鈥淯nderstanding transnational information systems with supranational governance: A multi-level conflict management perspective鈥 with co-authors Boriana Rukanova, Eveline van Stijn, and Yao-Hua Tan. The article is published in the journal 鈥淕overnment Information Quarterly,鈥 from the publisher until June 15. Wigand is the Maulden-Entergy Chair and Distinguished Professor Emeritus for the聽Departments of Information Science and Business Information Systems at 糖心Vlog传媒LR.]]>
